Minutes of the SIPB Meeting of 8611.17 The meeting was called to order at 1934 by KR and SRZ, who immediately proceeded to fight over the gavel.

No numbers, sorry. Student Spending: Month-to-date: Year-to-date: SIPB/SIPBADMIN Spending: MTD: YTD: Chairman's Report: Chairman was late to meeting, and is not feeling well. We have a new member election tonight. It's Rob French's turn. Surprise: this freshman has two years of Multics experience. he does NOT want mono. The answer to The Question: Because there is a certain "essence" to the office, and because he likes helping people, and he'd be hanging around the office anyway. He was elected to membership. Office Report: Office is not feeling well, (although Carla is feeling good. She wants mono). Volunteer needed to take a requisition to Leo Ryan. Athena Report: Still there. Toehold now exists for the RT, which means that RT users can lose their toenails at will. Kerberos is somewhat farther away. Computer Services: The mac is dead. Someone borrowed three mac disks this morning and did not return: Lode Runner, Dollars & Sense, and one other. Hotline has been called about the losing mouse on Oliver. Gil Pratt may be taking our PDP-11 at some point in the near future. Ken, Bill, and Stan are looking for some volunteer(s) to help out with documentation and some coding for our "discuss" electronic conferencing system. Rob French has sort of volunteered for this. Telecommunications Report: The property office will be sending us tags for the LA100's There is some flaming about the MTBF of the Mac getting too short. Publications Report: We still have them. PhinBored agreed to pay for one-page guides, but not NETS and NUMS. R/O Report: Sufficiently distant. IAP Report: Getting perilously close; Carla is organizing a trip to Talbot House during January. Other: Carla saw Stan with the gavel and said "Uhh Ohh.." OLC volunteers pizza party tomorrow. Seminar next term preparing for the reimplementation of Clearinghouse [for credit]. Other Other: Meilin asks the chairman: "Why do you have combed hair and a nice sweater two days in a row?" Ken says: "Give me a break, I haven't been feeling well" Othello is a stupid game. 'SP' now means 'Sexy Pest', not 'Sexy Pixie'. The meeting was adjourned at 2004.2 Minutes taken and submitted by WES.
