Minutes of the SIPB Meeting of 7 April 1980

	The meeting was called to order at 19:30 by RLL.

	In attendance were RLL, Richard Soley, RK, ZRM, GMP, ALAN,
		NAHA, WER, Jay Patton, RDM, CAH, c|, Charity, and
		various users.
	
		Late were:  RMP, DGH, KHS, archy, JSL, KHS, HGA, ACW,
		Gonzo, GHuber, DCP, JIS, and BSG.

	The minutes of the previous meeting were read and accepted as
		corrected.
		RMP, KHS, archy, JSL, and DGH came in at this point.

	***User Interrupts***
	Groth, Roy, (for ET fraternity), CMS, for fraternity records,
		room assignments, house bills, etc.  Estimated $10 per
		month costs.  For running & possibly converting to
		Multics.  Motion to give $75 passes.
		HGA and KHS came in at this point.

	Warning form:  CWang.Student, for using Student for 6-030 and
		15-565 work.  It was determined that he is not a
		loser; just didn't keep us informed.  Motion to turn
		him back on passes.

	Treasurer's Report:  RLL has fascist graphs!  We are now
		getting "Spending Log Sheets" in the daily (and two in
		the weekly...).  Put them in the correct blue folder.
		To date we have spent $3443.77 this month.  (We spent
		$6979.12 during the month of March.  An all-time low.)
		It looks like we are headed toward $80,000 for the
		year.  There was a suggestion that we update all the
		manual racks we can find.

	Chairman's Report:  The chairman found Prof. Dertouzos this
		week.  We will be getting a seat on the Faculty
		Committee on Campus Computing.  April 1 was last
		Tuesday.  Archy's "moving party" announcement last
		Tuesday seems to have actually fooled some people!
		There was some talk about what we should do about the
		impending move of IPS out of Building 39.  We will
		send a letter to Gray.

	Office Report:  OCKT.  The office will be waxed and waned at
		0300 Thursday 10 April 1980.  HGA has redone the book
		sign-out list.  DCP and ACW came in at this point.  We
		have a new refrigerator.  We also have a HUGE pile of
		magazines with which to do something.  People who are
		interested can re-arrange.  Publications masters file
		was redone by c|.  JIS came in at this point.  If you
		eat in the office, remember to clean up afterwards!
		The old office refrigerator was sold in the middle of
		the meeting (NOW) to a random who came in for soda!
		The new continuation forms are here (Form B.1); use
		them.  New member phone lists should be done.  People
		should come for their office hours!  BSG came in at
		this point.  The daily needs to be gotten every day!

	Computer Services:  Shift one was turned on for Student users.
		128K dirs now work; the Student project is winning.
		The office now has a HLSUA frisbee (CAH is back from
		HLSUA).

	Telecommunications Report:  The Random House terminal was
		called in today.  We are going to have an ADM3A to try
		out starting on Wednesday for a couple days.  Jean
		Bonney is interested in what we buy for a graphics
		terminal, as ARCS is looking for one also.  The LA120
		seems to be dead; the printer daemon for it is turned
		off until the hardware works.  RLL will look at it
		tonight; DEC will be out here tomorrow.  We seem to
		have run through an entire carbon ribbon today; we
		need to order more soon.  RLL will do so.

	Publications Report:  Stuff has to be picked up from Beane.
		The copy-place survey has been done (to a point) by c|.
		There were discussions about Beane's, Gnomon, Copy
		Cop, etc.  Things always need to be picked up from
		Beane; do it!

	Publicity Report:  We need to send out a freshman letter again
		folks.  There is one in AI:ACW;FROSH LETTER. There is
		an MIT Open house coming up - we should decide what we
		want to do.  It seems that we will have the
		traditional SIPB close house.  The LSC slide was a
		win.  Nothing has been done about the Tech add.
		Another postering needs to be done.

	Other:  There was a discussion about turning SKnox.Student's
		account back on (see last week's minutes).  RLL just
		now finished cleaning the new refrigerator; he is
		filling it up.  GHuber came in at this point.

	Applications: 
	MIT Equestrian Association (Hazelyn Patterson), $50, for text
		processing proposal for UA.  Motion to approve passes.

	Wysocki, Fred, $100 Coop, for text processing his thesis.

	Hammond, Jerry, for 22.033 design project (text editing for
		report); estimated 100 pages output.  (Five other
		people in the class will be working with him).  Gonzo
		came in at this point.  Motion to give $200 passes.

		$1585 Student, $0 ECS; $1585 total autoed.
		$100 Coop
		$0 by EC vote.
		$250 by meeting.
		$75 CMS.
		Total: $1910  (not including Coop).

	Other Other:  CDT was seen eating dinner with Paul Green
		tonight?  Anyone for rumors?  There might be snow in
		NH; if you are interested in a trip, see RK.  RLL is
		organizing a bicycle trip for next Sunday.  NAHA is
		organizing a random walk through Boston.  Clark Baker
		is still buying cubes.  Additions to the SIPB and
		SIPBADMIN projects should be noted in the logbook.
		Everyone is invited to PRINT'80 to see Camex and their
		"sexy full-page software" (Seybold Report).  You must
		provide your own transportation to Chicago.  The
		office has a FREEZER!  It works!

    The meeting was adjourned to a birthday party for everyone we
 missed in March (JMB, Gonzo, JSL, BARMAR, LSP, Radack, ED, and ACW)
                              at 21:56.
