6. General Discussion Items

Wayne:
Mike Wier won the Nissan Open this weekend.

It is his 2nd win of the season and he has finished in the top ten in each
of his four starts this season. He also moved to number one on the 2003
money list with over 2 million earned.

Celine:
I would like to chat for a minute at the meeting. I need some volunteers
Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon to help out with the Women in Math
day on Saturday. I'm doing two sessions of PC disassembly and I need help
on Friday setting up the PCs in the lab and on Saturday with the session
and with returning the PCs to the storage room in MC.
