Chris Newman is the founding treasurer of KGB.
A Story
At some point during his presidency, Abe, intent on finding a job in the game industry, had an on-campus interview with Microsoft. The interview went on in a small room in the dungeons of the University Center. There was your usual technical question and then the topic shifted towards general matters, and it went something like this:
"I notice you've written on your résumé that you're the president of the Carnegie Mellon KGB," said the interviewer, a guy in his late 30s or early 40s who had worked on various Windows platform bits.
"Oh, yes," said Abe, who was accustomed to this coming up, "KGB is a social organization on campus..." and on. "It's a good time. We have weekly meetings and abide by Robert's Rules of Order, so--"
The interviewer butted in, somewhat surprised, "Still! Huh."
Still.
"Oh." This was unexpected. "Yeah..."
"I was the founding treasurer of the KGB."
"Oh."
Abe apparently passed the on-campus interview in spite of completely bombing the aforementioned technical question, and proceeded to the phone screen stage.
