Minutes of the previous meeting were not read as they were not ready yet. *** User Interrupt *** .br Ed Miller was needlessly hassled for using the calcomp plotting facilities. Davis, Craig: Analysis of data relating to the storage of energy (i.e. oil) in the State of Maine. Attempt to see if public is being "cheated" by funny accounting procedures. (JLF came in at this point) He presented his case over a period of fifteen minutes. Many objections were raised by the membership, including the extra costs involved with keeping the data on-line (implying that he should be using a keypunch again), the fact that his project is tied in with one funded by the State of Maine. Motion to give him $500 to put his data on-line, get it cleaned up, use the money he has from Maine, then do his independant project. Given 4-1.
