   Minutes of the second executive committee meeting of the 
                       Fall 1984 semester
                 held 12-September-1984 (natch)


The meeting was called to order at 6:05.  Present were Fozzie  
   White, Aaron Heller, Jenny Young, Doug Lyon, Bilbo Borchers, 
   John Lattyak, Jim Mastrocco, Erin DeBonis, Chris LaMorticella, 
   Ed Falk, and the officers of Radio Rensselaer, except Bernie 
   who wouldn't dream of breaking his longstanding streak of 
   being late to meetings.



Department Reports:

Public Relations:  Chris's main comment was, "I have mono."  When 
   queried if he needed any help getting PR done, he replied "I 
   have one person, and she's all I need."  After the snickering 
   died down, we pumped him for information about PR until we 
   found out that he actually hopes to get a Program Guide laid 
   out within a week.
     THROB commented "next time Pudlinski does radio, it'll be 
   mono in stereo."

Station Management:
     THROB was pumped for information about how the station was 
   going.  He said "pretty clean so far."  We're not sure if he 
   was talking about obscenity complaints or pizza cartons.
     He is looking for a new traffic manager.
     A key order will go out shortly.  If you want a key, you'd 
   better sign up and prove your need for it pretty soon.
     We will have a work party on Friday September 21 for tech 
   and station stuff.  Doug and Rob are coordinating those parts 
   of it, respectively.
     The mail collections have been haphazard lately.  We need 
   someone to sort the mail.

Bernie arrived about this point, only about ten minutes late.  
Not bad for him.  Needless to say, we instantly required him to 
give his report for the
                        Programming Department:
     We will have a party on 26-October in the McNeil Room for a 
   "general good time."  UPAC will be part of this as well (both 
   the sound and lighting incompetents).
     We have program holes and some people who may fill them.  
     Weekends are likely to get pushed around before being final 
   anyway, so consider the schedule tentative.
     This E-Comm meeting was to have been followed by a meeting 
   for new-type announcers.
Bernie then proceeded to eat his dinner.

Business:
     Last year has been straightened out and we finally have a 
   final copy of this year's budget.

tech:
     The people in the Career Placement Office are being 
   obnoxious and photocopying now requires 10C| apiece, in cash.  
   This is obviously not a good way for us to do our copying.  We 
   decided it would be better if we go a venda-card for the 
   library's machines and kept it in the key drawer.  While we're 
   on the subject, the key drawer needs a new lock so that all of 
   the E-Comm and nobody else will have keys.

Membership:
     We need to start finding jobs for people.  Erin needs people 
   to work on WGOH and PSA's.  Doug is looking for people to do 
   typing.  Everyone else must just want to do all their work 
   themselves.

President:
     We will have a general meeting on the 23d of the month.  
   This will be at 3 o'clock and include elections.  There will 
   be a picnic preceeding it for which we need barbeque grills.



Old Business:
     THROB has been a slug about the activities fair.  He must 
  check on where our space is and whether we can get outside 
  space.  The downstairs patio might be good.  We will be feeding 
  UPAC and will need a long enough cable to reach them.
     The new sports box will be here Real Soon Now.  maybe even 
  by "Thanksgiving."
     We decided that in preparing Control Room "C" to be a 
  production studio we will move Coke to the news room.  Coke has 
  said that they will be happy with this.  A shelf for the 
  computer manuals will be needed.  A 3-0-0 vote approved this 
  move and it was decided to actually do the moving at the work 
  party.

New Business:
     Part III of the FCC Rules & Regs seems to be missing.  If 
  you see it, please return it to the Open File or FCC drawer.  
  If you don't know where those are, just bring it to John.
     There was some discussion of whether our current format and 
  whether the recent changes to it were desireable.  It quickly 
  (albeit not quickly enough) became apparent that the discussion 
  was going to be pretty broad.  Because of this it was decided 
  that there should be a special meeting for that discussion, on 
  the theory that the format is too important to make decisions 
  on without having maximum input from all interested station 
  members.  I tentatively scheduled the meeting for the evening 
  of September 23d.

     I then closed the meeting for the purposes of interviewing 
  Fozzie White for the E-Comm endorsement to run for Member at 
  Large.  I also moved the meeting (to Studio B) for privacy and 
  rather rudely tossed Erin and Jenny out of said cave.


The meeting was adjourned at 7:35.  

Remember -- even if you've got mono,
                              Be well.
