ACM Meeting Minutes 9/29/04

ACM Meeting Minutes
9/29/04

Meeting began at 5:00 pm in Gardner Hall 115
11 members were present.
I will be posting these and future minutes on my blog in case they get lost or whatever.

Nick brought in 4 Dell laptops to be set up after the meeting.

Dues are $30 and are due ASAP to Dan.
(Dan loves reciepts)

Student Senate:
Roger submitted a new constitution for student senate.
We asked for $500 and were allocated $200.
We were planning on having two speakers come in but with such little funds, we most likely will have to reduce that.

Speakers:
We can have either a virus protection or identity theft speaker come in.
We could also have someone local, i.e. Dr. Garvin, come in as well.
It was suggested to do a speaker per semester.

Gaming Night:
We are currently thinking of times for gaming nights.
Does anyone have any emulator ROMs?
Lori has a CD of 2000+ ROMs.
It was suggested that with 100 of the $200 allocated for gaming nights to do two per semester as well.

Homecoming Banner:
Where do we want it? North lawn?
The Homecoming theme is: Cats Explore in 2004.  Any good ideas?
Keep in mind, we will be rated on color, theme, originality, and neatness.

We hope that will will hear from the Service Learning Program next week to see if we have the grant.

Sunday at 5:00 pm, we will be speaking to the 4-H club about the laptops and possibly networking them.  Anyone is welcome to assist.

Nick started mumbling again.

Meeting adjourned at 5:25 pm.
Next meeting: October 13, Gardner Hall 115, 5:00 pm

I don't really have a comment on your post - just one Wayne State alum ('01 - Poli Sci) saying hey to another. I haven't been on campus since graduation, but I hear the new landscaping between Bowen (where I was an RA for two years) and the Student Center looks spectacular!

Hopefully this sends...

In regards to game night.. One easy idea is to use game demos to run the
games.

I have several good ones that can be used to run large multiplayer maps.
Gore, Black Hawk Down, and Command and Conquer: Renegade (all three are
first person shooters) among others. The games themselves are under 100 mb
in size, so the hard drives aren't taken up too much. The game demos
usually have options to run via LAN or by IP address which would be a factor
in itself.

Just a suggestion.
