• The Comm Officer suggests they should be clean socks.

• Charlie got the form to use the Marty Theatre.
• The group decided we would watch movies on the third Sunday of the month. Then we changed it to the third Saturday of the month. Then we put off any decisions regarding the problem until next week's meeting, in true Psi Phi fashion.
• E-mail Charlie with your movie requests!

• We have a committee.
• Various vague and offensive slogans for this year's T-shirt are suggested.
• Ray is cracked up by the "Top Ten Loser Borg" idea.

Scifi News:

• The Genesis Wave, Book 1 (of 2), by John Vornholt, is out in hardcover.
• It deals with the explorations of the Enterprise-E after the Dominion war, and the odd wave they find traveling through space.
• David also has a cover for Book 2, due out in April. This book will deal with the aftermath, after they figure out how to stop the wave.
• Many are not happy knowing how the first book ends. Oh, well...
• Star Trek Paper Universe is out in paperback. It shows you how to make little ships out of paper.
• At the mention of ties between Star Trek and origami, the Captain promptly slams his head on the floor.
• Difficulty levels rise from the 10-step Borg Cube (novice) the 51-step Deep Space Nine (origami addict).
• Due out in February is Tooth and Claw, by Doranna Durgin. It deals with Riker and Worf on the Enterprise-D before Generations.
• Also due out in February is Diplomatic Implausibility, by Keith R.A. DeCandido. It explores the possibility of Worf becoming ambassador.
• Coming in January are the Dark Passions books, by Susan Wright. They look at the Mirror Universe before the first appearance of it in DS9.
