Minutes

(10/17/2001)

Call To Order: 10:02 (acoustic assassination mechanisms)pm

There were 18 attendees.

Notes:

A person from the Yearbook attempts to capture the essence of the club through the medium of film.
Mass chaos ensues.
It is noted that "the voice of reason always gets drowned out around here."
Carl opts to "put it in the minutes!" So it has been written; so it shall be done.

Recruitment and Relations Committee:

T-Shirt Committee:

Movie Committee:

The Captain has a list of submitted movies, which the Comm Officer, regrettably, has failed to procure and copy as yet. But there will be a movie one day.

Quiz Bowl Committee:

No Report Committee:

Communications Officer:

The minutes are up.
Also, the Lord of the Rings TCG will be released in 20 days, so the Comm Officer has decided to start a LotR TCG Card of the Week for a while. This week's card is "Risk a Little Light," with a spooky picture of Gandalf.
Pop-Tarts is putting goofy things in their boxes, like Johnny Bravo magnets and Pichu pencil decorations.
Regarding the latter, Aaron quips, "You got gypped."
Cries for the blood of Pikachu ensue.
It is noted that Bryce knows his Pop-Tarts.

Constable:

The constable is temporarily in possession of a Federation phaser, on loan from Marisa's collection.
"Anything you might say has already been taken down in evidence against you." --Trelane, "The Squire of Gothos"
Everything's under control.

Grand Nagus:

The current balance is $400.60.
The Nagus maintains that he cannot be held for embezzlement, since such a charge involves lying, and he has not lied once about embezzling. (We'll see...)
In a recent game of Scrabble, the Nagus beat the Comm Officer by 70 points.

Chief of Operations:

Money from amazon.com will be coming in soon! Psi Phi's share of last quarter's earnings amounts to $96.28. The best-selling Trek item was the novelization of the Voyager finale, "Endgame."
The Enterprise website is the same as always - good.
The motion to put yearbook pictures up on the website is mulled over for a while.

First Officer:

Captain:

The Nazis no longer control Africa.
"Letters" is sung; this week's mail is even more completely useless than usual.
Mail:
- A memo from SABRC, reminding us that they are still accepting funding applications.
- By the way, Ryan copied those memos in duplicating.
The old pencil sharpener/bulldozer debate resurfaces.
A Captain's order is made that we specifically spell out that there be no stealing from the treasury.

Chris J. asks about when we will begin our campaign to take over the French club, now that one officially exists.
The Versailles Committee is formed, with Chris J. as chair, and Dan as a member.

The motion is made to put up a link from our site to the Bradley page with the stories from this semester's science-fiction seminar, as soon as they get put up there. Motion passes 12-4, with 2 abstentions, 1 courteous abstention, 1 present, and 1 present participle. (Darn Chicago voters...)

William Shatner will guest-star on The Bob Patterson Show on October 24th. He will play the "#2 motivational speaker in the country." This sort of balances out an appearance by Jason Alexander on ST- Greatest Moments a while back where he played Captain Kirk.
The 70-minute-long premiere of "Smallville" had 8.5 million viewers, and was the highest-rated WB series premiere of all time.
David has a hardcover copy of ST: Gateways: What Lay Beyond, the seventh and final book in the series. David is credited as co-contributor to the timeline in the back. The book should be available by the end of the month.
This brings the total number of mentions of either David or Psi Phi in Star Trek books to 5. Woohoo!
The ENT novel "By the Book" is due out in January; David has written the back cover text.
David says, "I'm a blurb writer now!"
Buffy: The Musical is coming to UPN on October 30.
Jeff picks 7 to subtract from a lab that Carl is grading. The significance of this is unclear.
