The Green Room is the entry of Dennis Hall- essentially the other side of
110. It is a designated area to display all of the progress of the environmental
programs across campus. In the best possible scenario it will be a place
where community members, students, staff, etc. come to eat lunch or bring
museum tours to view dioramas, digital art/CS projects, posters such as
the campus map with all areas highlighted that have anything to do with
environmentalism (and especially recycling).

Of course, free food will be provided. Free of charge, and open-source, too!
(just remember if you edit it you have to eat it)

There were 10 points separating 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-place, with top score being around 1800 points, meaning about a (1/2)% differential separating the top three finishers! Iowa State eeked out a first-place finish, with University of Northern Iowa's's team Panther finishing second by only a 4-point margin. Earlham College finished 3rd by a razor's edge margin of 6 points.

The Cyber Defense Competition ran from Friday, February 20 - Saturday, February 21st. The third-place winning Earlham team consisted of Matt Edlefsen, Andrew Fitz-Gibbon, Ben Goldstone, Samuel Leeman-Munk, and Samuel Wein.

Everyone who is currently taking CS courses or who has done so
recently (or, for that matter, who thinks it might be interesting to) is
invited. There is no planned activity other than eating and talking, no
ritual (other than eating and talking) and no commitment.

We do need to know how much food to buy, so it would be _very_ helpful
if you would let MaryLou (rossema---1239), Tracy (johnsjo1---1239) or me
(jrogers) know that you are planning to come. At the same time you can let us
know what you like to eat on your pizza and what you can't eat. (Fear not,
vegans can be accommodated and often have been in the past.)

These groups are open to all students, at all levels. In most cases
preference is given to those intending to major in CS. Group members commit to
working 10 hours/week during the semester, usually as workstudy, for a term of
at least three semesters, starting in the Spring. Nearly all CS majors work in
one or more of these groups at some time.

The current groups are:
o CS System and Network Administrators
o Hardware Interfacing Project
o CS Content Administration Group
o Pedagogical Tools Group
o Database Integration Group (WebDB)
o Green Science Group
o Earlham Computing Services System Administration
Additional groups are in planning.

There will be a meeting for prospective group members as well as all current
group members this Monday, 3/Dec., at Noon in Dennis 214. If you have any
interest in working in these groups, even if you are not sure if your
circumstances will permit it, please attend. Pizza and drinks will be
provided.

To help us plan how much pizza to order, please send e-mail to Mary Lou
Rosser (rossema@earlham.edu) to let her know you are coming. When you do,
please let her know of any dietary restrictions and/or topping preferences you
have.

If you have any questions, contact me, Jim Rogers (jrogers@cs.earlham.edu).
