Dear Mr. Quarterman,

     I suggest that you owe the members of the ACM-UT ( Association
for Computing Machinery - University of Texas at Austin Student Chapter )
and myself an apology.  You are making derogatory remarks about an
Organization that you know anything about.  It is true that you
were offered a free membership in the organization, due to your position as 
ut-sally site administrator.  But, you did not even bother to fill out the
membership form.  After such a claim, I am glad that you did not. You claim 
that an election was not held!  Well Mr. Quarterman, your claiming that 
there was not an election just because you, a non-member, did not know about 
it is STUPID! Their was an election and four out of the five 
offices changed hands.  Yes, I was re-elected.  This may be because of some 
of the following things that were  accomplished during my first term:

1) Entered the ACM South central programming contest for the first time.
   We won first place in the under-graduate, and third place in the 
   graduate, and overall. 

2) Established connections with ACM Austin and Regional. Going to their 
   meetings, even if that meant giving up my weekend to attend one out of town.
   This may be why they appointed me, the president from UT, to be the Student 
   Chapter Chair at the South Central Regional Conference.

3) Started the Computer Science Note service to help the CS Students acquire
   class notes from professors that would not do them before.  This included
   spending hours after school copying tranparencies to make originals so
   we could get the notes for the students.

4) Arranged for the first factory tour ever in the history of the ACM-UT.
   This will take place this summer and go to Texas Instruments.

5) Held faculty/student social hours so students could get to know their 
   professors.

6) Acquired the first computer for the UT chapter.

7) Aquired a $500.00 grant from AT&T for a womens' subchapter.

Mr. Quarterman, I do hope that you will make a public retraction of your 
asinine comment to net.flame. I also do hope in the future you stick to 
talking about things you know something about. I also would like to add 
that I no longer give you the privilege of addressing me on a first name
basis, that is reserved for friends, not back stabbers!
