So keep your eye on this spot for info on the next DSAC pizza party - coming soon to a Zoo near you!
Thursday, January 18th, 7pm AKW, 2nd Floor Atrium Come eat delicious free pizza and discuss what CS courses you're planning to take! If you can't get into AKW call the open zoo phone at 2-2169.
It's ok though, it just means that your stalkees have a bit longer to run.
Seriously, if you need one that much, you can afford to spend $10 on it: <a href="http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=22483">grab one here</a>.
These new palmrests are far better (and more numerous) than the old, filthy, granite-constructed ones, and can be used as pillows, heating pads, and even for their intended purpose: keeping litigious thoughts out of your mind while being injured by Yale facilities. Please refrain from smearing food on them, throwing them out the window, or engaging in PRT (PalmRest Trafficking), as such things are generally frowned upon.
Expect all sorts of fun things from them, such as pizza parties on CS323 and CS223 due dates, and the return of lo-fi gaming nights. January 17, 2007, at 08:15 PM

It seems that we're in the midst of pirates. Not the cool, swashbuckly ones, or even the nerdy, typically Eastern European ones with cool handles like <a href="http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/W/warez-d00dz.html">RAZOR</a> - I'm talking about mouse-thieving scalawags. That's right - just yesterday, somebody made off with Giraffe's mouse. Needless to say, Giraffe is hysterical. It may never fully recover. Moreover, if people keep yoinking things from the Zoo, they won't be in the Zoo anymore. And then they probably won't get replaced, since then they'd just get stolen again, right? So if y'all don't want to be forced into life without X11 (or at least life with a lame keyboard-based mouse control scheme), please don't be the lame kind of pirate. Oh, and Giraffe wanted me to tell you guys that it has a very sharp razor. And this time it's personal.
love, DSAC

<center><h2><font color="blue">Bad Kung Fu Movies /</font> <font color="red">Pizza</font><font color="blue"> Study Break</font> Sunday, 10:00 pm Room 201, AKW</h2></center> (AKW is the red brick building on 51 Prospect St., right past Becton Center. Call 2-2269 from the blue phone if you don't have access) You may be wondering, "What is DSAC?" DSAC, the Computer Science <u>D</u>epartmental <u>S</u>tudent <u>A</u>dvisory Committee, serves as a liaison between students studying computer science and the CS department. Please feel free to send feedback about the department to us; we'll make sure to redirect it to the correct person. We also make sure that the Zoo (the lab on the 3rd floor of Arthur K. Watson on 51 Prospect St.) is a happy and functional place. So if there's a problem with the zoo or you have a suggestion about how to make it better, please email us (dsac@zoo.cs.yale.edu). Also feel free to say hello to any of us and share your ideas. ![]() Who is "us"? We are: Jamie Yoo BR '05, Anthony Di Franco BR '05, Emmett Shear DC '05, Reuben Grinberg TC '05, James Clifton Terry SM '05. So, what are some things DSAC is working on now? <ol><li>Replacing defective chairs in the Zoo. Some of these chairs plain suck. Trying to pull an all-nighter in one of them sucks more.</li><li>Getting optical mice for the Zoo. We want to make sure that a dirty, skipping mouse doesn't induce you to throw out a Zoo animal in a fit of delusional rage at 6:00 am. PETA would hate on us for causing animal cruelty.</li><li>Augmenting the collection of books in the Zoo Library.</li><li>Setting up a GForge / CVS repository.</li></ol> Think something is missing? Let us know! E-mail your suggestions, compliments, and complaints to dsac@zoo.cs.yale.edu
These upgrades will improve reliability on the Zoo file server, so hopefully we will not suffer another major outage similar to last week's problems. thanks, Jim Faulkner Zoo Systems Administrator

Describe OldNews here.

If so, you really should have gone to MIT. On the other hand, if you're a friendly, social undergraduate (of any major) who has taken or is taking a computer science course numbered 223 or higher, then you should run for DSAC next year!
