There is an idea out there that the CS Dept is going to adopt us. I
don't want to burst any bubbles, but this will probably not happen. In
the past there were problems (don't ask about what they were, I don't
know 100% of the story and it really doesn't matter) between our club
and the department, and from what I hear they have decided that the only
club they will support is the ACM because it is a local chapter of a
national organization.

We aren't out of BYUSA yet. See above.

See above.
I really wish that we could be a CS department club, I just don't know
if we can. Just to let everyone know, next week I'm going to have a chat
with BYUSA and several departments around campus to see what our options
are. It will probably take several weeks before we can really make any
changes about who sponsors us but I'll keep you guys informed. If you
have any information (such as contacts with high up people you know with
any department that might be interested in working with us) please
e-mail me off the list and tell me.
One more thing.... I have no opinion about what the name of the club
will be (UUG or something else). I am trying to not be bias at all, in
fact I'm not even going to vote on this change. I just want the group to
decide and my final decision is what the group says through the poll. I,
along with many others, including pro-change supporters, think having a
2/3 majority is very reasonable. I just want everyone to know that I am
trying to be fair.
Time to go on a Geology field trip... maybe I'll see if they will
sponsor us: "I hear you guys know a lot about silicon... want to know
more?..." :-)
