To bias the poll against any major change. More than anything, the
charter was designed many years ago to protect us. As Evan hinted, there
is some bad blood between the CS dept. and our club. I was hoping it was
water under the bridge, but I guess not. From what I understand, it
wasn't really our fault. Another club was the major culprit, we suffered
collateral damage. They were disbanded, and I think a member was kicked
out of BYU. We owe a debt of gratitude to the officers, Dell Scott (for
being the only faculty member willing to sponsor us), and yes, even
BYUSA. Without them, the UUG would have ceased to exist.

That's about all I know. If you want to know more, you'll have to talk
to the people that lived through it. As of a year ago, a few, including
the founder of the UUG, were still lurking on this list.
