This would be for 3 batch courses at $200 each and 5 interactive courses at $300 each. They would need about $600 of this for the summer. There was a motion to give them $2100 and dole it out when they need it starting with $600 now. There was an ammendment to decrease the amount to $1800 and start with $500. CBF said that he might be able to give them the use of his HP3000 for the summer. There was a motion to give them $600 for the summer and to worry about the rest of the year later.
