On October 27, three teams of Moravian College students competed at
Wilkes University in the Association of Computing Machinery
Mid-Atlantic Programming Contest. The team comprised of Tim Mills
(Junior), Wes Moser (Senior), and Scott Weaver (Senior) finished in
1st place at Wilkes, while Chris Beildelman (Senior), Joe Borda
(Junior), and Jamie Long (Junior) finished in 6th place. Also
competing were Brandon Heyer (Junior) and Chris Schilling (Sophomore).
During a programming contests, teams are given six problems they are
asked to solve during a five-hour period. These problems are taken
from the breadth of the computer science curriculum, and solving them
requires both problem-solving and programming skills. This year,
Moravian's winning team completed 3 problems, ahead of teams from
Bucknell, Wilkes, Ursinus, Lafayette, and Lycoming, among others. A
scoreboard can be seen at:

To further put this win into perspective, the Wilkes site is one of
eight sites in the region. Teams are scored both at the local site
and within the region, where there were over 130 teams competing.
When considered in the region, the team that won at Wilkes site placed
8th in the region. Among the top 20 positions, Moravian is the only
liberal arts school, and among the top 10, we are the only school
without a graduate program (graduates students are eligible to
participate in the contest). A scoreboard for the region can be see
