ACM/IEEE Senior Dinner

October 18th 2005

What we need:

• ACM publicizes the event and lets people know where/how to register, where to turn in their resumes, and best of all why the Dinner is really worth their time. (IEEE is expected to also recruit all the ECE seniors.)
• Typically, we've had a hard copy registration, but Dr. Bailey thought it would be easy for ACM to put together an on-line form for everyone to use.
• Once at the event, we'll need volunteers from both IEEE and ACM to help with set-up and tear down, plus we'll need volunteers to help with registration.
• There are 2 welcomes at the Dinner. ACM gets to do one welcome, IEEE does the other.
  • Welcome the students and remind them to attend the Career Fair
  • Welcome industry members and thanks them for participating. The welcomes usually take about 30-60 seconds.

All ACM officers are eligible to attend even if they're not seniors.

Arcade Machine

Is someone interested is taking this on? The Interactive Entertainment Club sounded interested when I talked with them.

Donald Heer sent me this email last week. I think it is a great idea:

 Well here is what I have been thinking about. I happen to have an                                                                                                      
 arcade cabinet that while I like to use it I could willing part with.                                                                                                  
 I have already changed it over to a PC based system, so I thought of a                                                                                                 
 way ACM might be able to use it. Here is the idea.                                                                                                                     

 Run a year long competition to see who can make the best 'arcade                                                                                                       
 game.' Whoever wins get the game loaded onto the arcade machine. Put                                                                                                   
 the arcade machine in the Kelly building by the vending machines.                                                                                                      
 Charge quarters per play (it is an arcade after all) and collect the                                                                                                   
 funds for ACM.  Change the game after the next years competition. That                                                                                                 
 is the simple version. I've already got preliminary permission to put                                                                                                  
 the game in.
