[ale] future of ALE NW

[nick travis]

I'm a KSU student but I have never made it to a meeting because I always
have a time conflict with class.  What about having the meeting on
Thursday night one month and Wednesday night the next?  This would make
it easier for me (and I assume) some other students to attend at least
every other month.  I know this can create some confusion though, as to
which month it is and which night the meeting is.  So it may not be
worth it.  Also, I'm a senior CS major and I would say 95% of the people
in my classes have never heard of ALE, I've told several people about it
and they are interested in the meetings.  I think some fliers on campus
would be a good way to get the word out about the meetings.
