Members present:  David Allen, Hughes Hoyle, Tom Murphy, Karen Reichardt, Tom Thompson

1. Since Rod was absent (in the hospital), we skipped his year-end report on ITS activities.

2. Concerning the distribution of new pentium computers, some members noted that some folks have received upgrades, but no CD drives, and other have not received their new computers at all.  Tom will ask Rod for a timetable for distributing the new units.

3. We discussed new hardware for staff, since CDF money is designated for hardware for faculty and student use only.  Tom will ask Rod how, if at all, staff--department secretaries, in particular--can come up to speed with their faculty.

4. We discussed a standard form to distribute along with the call for proposals for new computers for next year.  Tom will distribute a draft of the form by email for comment before we forward the form to Spike for his approval.

5. Because so few members were present, we chose to elect next year's chair by email.  Tom will send out ballots to committee members.

Meeting adjourned at 1:35.
