From bd166 at scn.org Sun Jul 2 10:11:50 1995 From: bd166 at scn.org (SCN User) Date: Sun, 2 Jul 1995 10:11:50 -0700 Subject: "Undercompensated Interns", AIArchitect 1/95 Message-ID: <199507021711.KAA15486@scn.org> I support your position, up to the point of a "federal wage laws" solution. What this business (country) needs is less micro-regulation, not more. What other alternatives might you offer the "individual" intern? Publish an updated online list of approved and non-approved ("offenders") offices? I am not that familiar with the intern program (too small of an office to participate), but, let me know if there is anything else you think I might be able to do to help your cause. Best wishes. -- Alan Miller AIA, POB 51162, Seattle WA 98115 From wheels at scn.org Wed Jul 5 12:04:57 1995 From: wheels at scn.org (Kevin Higgins) Date: Wed, 5 Jul 1995 12:04:57 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Election results Message-ID: Voting Results for SCN Incorporators With a total of 62 voters using 3 votes per ballot, a total of 182 votes were cast, with four votes not used on ballots (1 voter used 2 votes and 1 voter used 0 votes).
