You are Alumni, BYUSA welcomes you. If you are not alumni, student, employee, or the spouse of one such, the UUG still welcomes you. Sadly, BYUSA says you everyone else can not be an "official" UUG member and enjoy the benefits of "official" UUG membership. The only benefit or official membership that I've been able to determine is that if you are 1) a student and 2) taking enough classes during fall/winter to qualify as a full time student, you are able to be a club officer. Furthermore, if you are good hearted enough to be a club officer, I've found only two benefits: 1) You are worthy to attend super-secret planning sessions wherein BYUSA red tape is unrolled and a good time is had by all. 2) You are periodically harassed and threatened to sacrifice at least one officer to regular, useless BYUSA meetings and training sessions. <intermission>Okay, you can get up and stretch now. It is appropriate at this point to express our hear felt thanks to the current UUG officers.</intermission> But BYUSA wants us to be a service organization. In its infinite charity, the UUG has decide to allow even people who are not directly affiliated with BYU to participate in the community. We are serving you by sharing our knowledge. (It is only right and fair that you occasionally feel a desire pay back the community by sharing your own knowledge. Just don't get uppity and expect "official" membership.) -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED], AIM:StuartMJansen> Programming in Java feels like C without the sense of accomplishment.
