Ashley Berken stated that she would like to see the Contraband and Log receive new computers.  Ashley said during the time she worked there, there were lots of problems with the computers crashing.   Mike Graham stated this is a good idea however he does not want Shannon Davis and his student employees responsible for servicing the computers.  Mike stated he would like Media to continue to outsource their service on the computers.  The committee agreed.  Mike Graham called Candace Townsend/Director of Public Info and Communications to inquire how many computers are needed.  Candace responded 10-computers for Contraband, 7-computers for Log, 1-scanner in each office, 2-network Xerox black/white printers for Contraband and 1-network Xerox black/white printer for Log.

Mike Graham asked what the committee wants to do about the graduation idea.  The committee decided to wait and see how the video production works with this year’s graduation, since Mike is already paying to have it done this year.

The committee decided to hold off on the Kiosks, 24/7 Helpdesk and Outsourced Staffing, Telescope, Electronic Voting System, and Mass Comm Radio Station and leave for next year’s committee.

Patrick Eustis asked about the status of the internet café.  Mike Graham stated it will be done by the Fall.
