CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN

Last week ECE professors were busy advising students for the winter quarter. In addition, most faculty members performed the mid-quarter evaluation of courses.

We are currently in the process of completing the annual report of the department. Highlights of the report will be presented in a future ECEnews bulletin.

Graduating students are reminded that their input to the resume booklet is due this Friday.
