• Even though we take money from companies at a loss, this appears to be one of the problems that the offices upstairs have with council.
• Perhaps getting the engineering companies to this side of campus during the campus-wide Career Fair would help if we can’t get them here on a separate day. We could offer to organize the student attendance part.
• Tony is seeking a list of the engineering companies from the Industrial Board of Advisors.
