III. Reports

        General Manager

        Ken and Devin gave the GM's report.  They want to do more publicity
        and gain more publicity for the OCF.  Ken reports that SAS agreed
        to put a link from their website to www.ocf.berkeley.edu  They 
        redid the OCF webpage last week, making it easier on the eyes and
        easier to find information.
               
        Site Manager
        
        Kat reports that she has been helping out Ken and Devin.  She and
        Luns brought the new disk boxes online over the Labor Day weekend.
        
IV. Elections

        General Manager

V. Old Business
        There was no old business.
        
VI. New Business

        Constitutional Amendment (by order of SAS)
        
        The SAS office required that we replace the hazing and 
        non-discrimination clause in the membership statement in 
        our constitution with the following:
        "We will not haze according to California State Law; we will not
        restrict membership based upon race, color, natural origin, religion, 
        sex, physical and mental disability, medical condition (cancer-related 
        or genetic characteristics), ancestry, marital disability, age, 
        sexual orientation, citizenship or status as a covered veteran 
        (special disabled veteran, Vietnam-era veteran or any other veteran 
        who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition 
        for which a campaign badge has been authorized)."

        Stephen McCamant motioned that we also add "any major" to the list
        of items that by which we do not restrict membership. The amendment 
        was passed unaminously.
        
        Quotas
        
        Kat motioned that disk usage allocation for users be increased
        as follows:
                 8MB  home directory
                 8MB  web directory
                10MB  mail
        The motion was passed and will take effect as soon as the new
        disks are brought up.
        
        Brainstorm
        
        We brainstormed about spending ideas (such as t-shirts, supplies,
        more publicity), increased platforms/hardware we could support
        (PCs/Macs/NT, etc.), and increased services (such as web-based
        email)
        
        BoD meeting times
        
        BoD meetings will be held Mondays at 5pm.

VII. Announcements
