At around 7:15 it was decided that a meeting would be in order. However, all present with the exception of Robert were disappointed that Robert did not bring enough food for the entire BoD. These people included: Adam Marc Andrew Mike Boyd Partha Case Sean Drew as well as Sam and Phillip, neither of whom were members of the Board at the beginning of the meeting.

Mike noted for the record that Margaret's name had not yet been mentioned at the meeting.

Case noted that there had been a tech meeting with Morgan which provided some useful information, such as that a 4500 needs two memory cards of the same size. In addition, details of an HP service account were hammered out and new arrangements for service have been made. They pay shipping and promise a three day turn around, well, definitely within five days. Also, the three missing machines have been fixed.

Notes regarding IST - Jerry Smith wants baldness/bigbang for spare parts in case one of ours needs service. Adam talked to Morgan Milligan who wants a written statement from Brian Harvey that they aren't doing hardware support. Partha said basically that if we are doing hardware, then they have no need for bigbang. There is no need to mention bigbang in any agreement or letter from Brian.

Case came forward with the results of a hastily called election committee meeting of last week. There should be a limit on the length allowed for someone running to speak, as well as the amount of questioning through which they may be put. Eight minutes should be long enough for a speech and for cross examination, 45 minutes for the a General Manager hopeful, and 30 for a potential Site Manager. Also, if the standing General Manager wishes to chair the election meeting, he must not be up for election. Otherwise, a substitute will be chosen. Anyone can run, provided they are a student. No prior experience is required formally, but it sure helps.

Also, on the subject of endorsements, they are acceptable from individuals, though they may not be given by "the chair" or by someone speaking as an official of the OCF. It may be stated that an endorsee is or has held an though it regarded as a faux pas that someone should give an endorsement speaking for the organization in which he is/was an officer. In addition, is was decided that anti-endorsements were in poor taste.

The game plan for the elections goes like this: GM elections SM elections Treasurer elections BoD elections Constitutional amendments It was also noted for the record that CSUA elections are Wednesday night, at 7:00 p.m.

For our elections, we need more publicity. Thanks again Andrew for the spiffy sign.

Adam made known that we have 20 tapes but cannot sell them. Something will be done with them eventually, however...

He also said that ASUC funding lists would be posted Thursday. Cal Engineers was added as a group account today. We also have around $150.00 in the old bank account.

There is no EJC meeting this week...

Are the meetings too long? Most said yes, though Partha was quoted as having said "I'm here for fun."

Adam said that printers will be ready on time...

Please note there is no meeting during spring break.

The topic of what to do with the OCF over the summer was noted as a good topic for a later meeting.

It was suggested by Partha that the old admin should get together with the post-election admin for a smooth transition.

Sam was voted onto the board by an overwhelming majority. (9 yes, 1 Lisp seg fault)

Again, remember that the election is being held Wendesday night at 7:00 p.m. in 10 Evans Hall.

Phillip made the reason for his presence known to the Board. He wanted a better understanding of why we can't run Apollo X? It was made clear that it's been tried and was generally regarded as a bad move. Also, the site was set up with the understanding that we would be running 4.3BSD and X11R4 to be in line with everyone else.

Partha, in contemplation of his current status of lame duck stated that: "It's been fun - watch Partha lie..."
