There were 12 attendees.

Notes:

Specific disorder ensues about just exactly who is in attendance tonight.
Curses are made because our whiteboard messages from last week have been eradicated.
A correction is hereby noted in the minutes. During last week's meeting, David made absolutely NO references of any kind regarding underwear. We regret the error.
The Captain says "booty". A majority of members then say "booty".
Carl forgot to bring the Red Dwarf tape.

Alumnus Ryan Woodrow was also at the con, and also says hi.
Member Sarah Ciampi has contacted us, saying she will be unable to attend meetings for the remainder of the semester due to illness, but to still send her the minutes and other information. So it has been written; so it shall be done.

No Report Committee:

"In one's efforts to achieve nirvana, one must eliminate all desire. I desire no report. No report." --Adam
The Captain threatens Adam with bodily harm because of his report.
Placing one's consciousness on a higher plane cannot be equated with being stupid.

Anyone else enjoying the Transenlightenment of the Lava Lamp Channel?
Because he is not perfect, the Comm Officer forgot to bring the phaser this week.
The Captain threatens Carl again. Star Trek Fight Scene music ensues. Ray is hit with the mail.
At Ray's request, "red leather pants" is hereby inserted into the minutes.

Grand Nagus:

The current balance is $308.87, after David gives $102.86 to the Nagus, a combination of unused convention appropriations and part of the latest payoff from amazon.com.
David will bring $75 more from amazon.com next week.
"David brings us money; David good."

Chief of Operations:

Carl comments on the hypocrisy of democracy, or the democracy of hypocrisy, or some such thing.
No report.

Captain:

Ray sings the ubiquitous "Letters" song.
The Captain suggests the constitution be amended to include a Security Officer, one of whose duties would be to sing the "Letters" song at every report on the status of the mail.
Mail:
- A Sister-to-Sister Rap Session flyer, promoting the destruction of all men
- A weird foldy-thing flyer, like stuff we made in grade school
- Propaganda for Student Input and Welcome Week '01
Amy and Adam are inserted together into the same sentence in the minutes for the express purpose of ticking them off.
