JR finally talked to Finboard last week, and set up the
publications money for next, in the usual way.

Month to date spending on Multics is 4456.84, disk is 741.33.

Pay your phone bills.


CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

There is a draft of a budget proposal which is a little rough
around the edge on the board.  People should comment on it
quickly as it should be sent to the powers that be soon.

There was a CCE meeting.  It was on networks.  They are thinking
of wiring the dormitories.

We should make up the moving list for our office.  It is already
overdue.  Elisa will do it.

We should do something about publicity.  Take yellow cards to the
dorm desks.


OFFICE REPORT

Our office will be on the second floor of building 11.

WER will arrange to get new stationery.

We should get a new Macsyma manual.


COMPUTER SERVICES

Rumor has it that MIT has gotten their DPS8's.

NBDD has been getting VTOC errors lately.  If anyone calls up
complaining, leave a note.


TELECOMMUNICATIONS REPORT

Physical Plant is planning on starting the work on the Student
Center Library soon.

Gill is going to fix the East Campus Z19.

We should look into Z19 service contracts some more.

More TTRs were printed.

Lossage with Dennis Baron and the Student Center Lines was
discussed.  There is a shortage of lines at the moment.  The plan
is currently for 4 pair rented from telco from W20 to W91.  (This
was moved and passed.) CBF will try to get some move money out of
Wes for a multiplexer to run between W91 and W20 over these
lines.  After the move our 8 working pair from the Student Center
will be split up as 4 pair to Building 11 and 4 pair to Building
38.  After the move it may be possible to get MIT hardwired lines
to W91.

We sort of have a license for the microwave.

There was some discussion of having the dormitories pay for their
phone lines.


TERMINAL REPORT (TTRs)

New House Z19 keyboard bounces.  EC Z19 blew out a component
again.  (Gill will lock at it.) MacGregor LA36 and Student House
LA36 may not have been service by DEC yet.

We should get come contact cleaner for Z19 keyboards.


PUBLICATIONS REPORT

The office got some new Multics manuals.  There are ECS manuals
ready to be picked up at Beane.  Someone should take the Form B's
