<font size="+1">M<font size="+1">SU participated in the ACM ECNA
regional programm<font size="+1">ing contest this weekend in
Grand Rapids. The two teams (Team1: Joseph Roth, Chris Heuser,
Grayson Wrig<font size="+1">ht, Team2: Justin Fila, Nathan
Langol<font size="+1">f</font></font></font></font></font>,
Sam Macaluso) did fairly well. Team1 finished 3/9 problems (with
another 3 in various stages of solution) finishing 25th/128 and
Team2 finished 1 of the 9. Four of the six students had not
participated in the contest before so it was a bit of a "building
year". <br>
<br>
We thank them for all their work and hope we continue to do well. We
also say goodbye to Chris (graduating), Joseph (no longer eligible)
and Grayson (off to China). Thanks very much gentlemen.<br>
