Subject: ACM student chapter formation

On Wednesday, Hal Berghel from the ACM will be giving a seminar at 1pm.
One of the reasons for Hal's visit is to instigate the formation of an
ACM student chapter.  To this end, I have suggested that we invite
interested students to the talk, after which any students wanting to
form a chapter will be invited to step forward.

The student chapter is intended to cater for students at all levels.  If
you are giving a lecture today or tomorrow, perhaps you could mention
this event to the class.  I have included some brief information below.
