Projects Sought for Computer
Science Majors
   The CWU Computer Science Department is seeking software project proposals for its majors' senior capstone projects. The ideal project is one that is well defined, not easily satisfied with commercial software, and requires some custom programming effort.    Senior capstone projects require students to develop solutions to real-world software problems for actual clients. Fall and winter quarters are spent in analysis, development, implementation, and completion. Projects are expected to be finished at the end of the winter term.
   For more information, or to make a project proposal suggestion, e-mail Ed Gellenbeck at gellenbe@cwu.edu or call ext. 1445.

the exhibit has provided at least twenty years of service to the arts in the community. The exhibit will be held at CWU's Sarah Spurgeon Gallery, from October 10 through November 8.
   The opening reception, at 5 p.m. on Friday, October 9, is also the opening event for the year-long Suffrage Centennial Celebration. Central's President Jim Gaudino will give an opening address, followed by a concert of suffrage songs directed by Dr. Linda Marra, CWU music professor.
