	Treasurer's Report:
	Welcome back, treasurer. She was slogging through the heat &
	dust, not the mud, after all. SIPB's pretty rich. As far as she's
	concerned, not much has happened for the last 6 weeks.

	CokeComm Report:
	Product arrived last Wednesday. Enjoy. No bets on how long it
	will last.

	Chairman's Report:
	Well, he's back. Next month he will try to organize the
	writing of an Annual Report. (much snickering) Beware - he's
	likely to try to con people into writing parts of it.

	Office Report:
	We have a/c, and the floor seems to have been wax recently.

	Athena Report:
	New version of NFS which is almost compiled; supposedly fixes
	the bug of files being zeroed.
	Currently de-installing Vice from the SIPB machines, because
	it's not maintained.

	Computer Services:
	Dialup situation - Mark Lillibridge is dealing.
	Macintosh & AU/X - We have an offer from Dan Geer to give us
	A/UX in return for some random work (getting discuss, DES, Kerberos,
	etc. working on the Mac). We also have an offer from the MicroCenter
	to give us A/UX as soon as they get it in exchange for answering unix
	questions for them (which we would wind up doing anyway).  Progress
	being made on TeX for Mac.

	Telecommunications Report:
	New telephones before, um, October 10.
	Field service contract renewed for our terminals.
	Modem given to us by Coplex seems to be working all right on
	Bloom-Beacon. We don't have a console line in 11-205 anymore. 


	Publications Report:	
	Need more copies of Inessential Guide. Ought to be looked
	over/ revised. Ted will do the looking-over, then will draft
	people. 

	R/O Report:
	R/O Chairman absent, so no detailed report...
	Volunteers needed  for R/O Tour.
	Freshman letter went out.

	IAP Report:
	Getting father. Maybe getting closer, but who cares.

	Other: 
	'()

	Other Other:
	Mary's is going to be closed for a week. Snif.
	Treasurer has lots of horror stories.
	JTk's cousin from LA says that "All men are pond scum."

	The meeting was adjourned at seven-fifty-two.
