The thesis proposals were not even for him. He has not come by the office. Should we call him, asks dfm? dfm actually gave him come-to-office and did not just write it on the form. He's spent $220 out of $300. He's theoretically libel, but we will probably not do anything to him. ELECTION STUFF The treasurer has officially resigned. Next week we will have elections. The temporary secretary will send out mail. Aya and Bill are nominated for membership. TREASURER'S REPORT No treasurer. (see above). ATHENA REPORT There has been no operations committee report since December 18. (Hmmmmm). Ramin and I thought the consulting was going to be something like SIPBOLC where people got accounts and agreed to do consulting while they were logged on. It turns out that Beth Anderson wants consultants to have hours and be paid. We are going to try to convince her that she is losing. various flames: jis flames about how athena is losing because they are doing nothing to give access potential student hackers, developers, etc. bcn- thought anybody who wanted to get an account over iap could get an account. This has not been the case. It has not been made clear to anybody where they could turn to to get an account. They are letting faculty have access to the program but not students. Things are not really in place yet, so they are paranoid about their machines. A lot more flaming (discussion is a better word). The temporary secretary is a slow typist. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT The chairman is arriving tonight. OFFICE REPORT We got a letter from Robert S. Stull, a pre-frosh. He is planning to buy a personal computer to do word processing. wcs suggests he not get anything or to get a terminal and a modem to be used as a terminal. more flaming. wcs volunteers to write him a letter. There is an enourmous pile of applications in jj's bin. Come into the office and do them. SERVICES are you kidding? TELECOMMUNICATIONS REPORT The following living groups sent money for terminals: Next House $100 ADP $100 ET $100 Next house will return a 212 because they have one of their own ET would like to get a video terminal instead of an la36 Fraternities which are late with their surveys and money have been sent memos. Julius called in the dead terminals. TERMINAL REPORT PUBLICATIONS REPORT $3 for lisp notes to non lisp users (symbolics and a company from michigan which wants 24 copies). IAP REPORT Text Processing course changed from february 1 to february 2. People should show up to help. We volunteer Ramin to go to the lisp lab tomorrow night. People should also come tuesdays and thursdays 7-9 p.m. to the eecs terminal room. OTHER OTHER The Raiders won the Super Bowl.
