Sorry, but I couldn't find a template for the minutes.  Hope you like this
free format. 


To Meeting Applications:

ZBT wants $ on CMS to play with their alumni.  Deferred until they come to a
meeting.

Wenk, John.  Wants $ for multics to learn emacs.  We determine that he is not
a recent alum.  No id number.  Steve moves to reject and suggest coop.  Passes.

Riniker, Lance.  Wants 370 time for Contempt-LP.  Use for UROP.  UROP letter.
Move to give $500.  We grill the user to find out who wrote the program, why
he's doing it and why such a project doesn't have funding.  Passes.

Treasurer's report.  Its not on line.  Jay says $87k.

Office report.

No one is showing up for their office hours.  CBF moves to
change the hours from 1-5 to 3-5.  We think this is a bad idea, so is
declaring people without office hours inactive (and people who miss their
signed up hours).  Motion fails.

We now have applications in two drawers, not one. 

Wendy likes the AI lab stationary.  CBF says that we will get 'pretty'
stationary.

We want touchtone fones in our new location.  motion passes.

Telecommunications report.

Theta Chi wants their equipment that we promised and they have contracts but
no equipment and no guarantees.  Why do we lose.  BCN explains that we lose
because we still haven't decided what to buy and what to do.  RK flames about
the stu cen and how bad we lose.  He thinks that we should buy the requisite
equipment.  BCN says we lose because the EC can not make up their mind.  Steve
thinks that the minutes book is a bad place for minutes.  RK and Steve flame
about minutes of the smoke filled room, not knowing what to do, and being
confused.  Gosh I wish we could win.

Rk says that we need 1 acoustic coupler and 4 modems.  US Robotics are $420.
We chip in some $'s.  

Z19 service costs $10/terminal/month.  Operating expenses are $19k/year.

We flame about phones and modems and I get confused.  Sorry.

Work is about to start on the stu cen library.  We talk about extracting cable
and punch down blocks.

The middle phone in the stu cen is flakey.  push it until it works.

We got $2k of move money from Wes Burner to buy a pdp-11 to put in W91 as a
backup/ only way to get to multics.  The chaos net to multics is still not
guaranteed even after the move.  Ugh.

We want to buy some synchronous modems for backup.  We will get another
Chaosnet board as backup/testing.  

Barry told us that a TAB can exploded spontaneously today.  Throw cans in the
right place.  Beware of cokecomm price increases.

Publications report.

policy statements look good in green.  lsc is stealing our colors for their
ballots.

Other
none.

Other other.
got any ideas for 6.111 projects.  Send answers to Jay or CBF.  Barry wants to
know a project for strobe lab.  

Meeting adjourned at 9:05 pm, eastern standard time.  So there.
