Call To Order:

The meeting was called to order at 10:00pm by the Captain, Bob Schmanski.

Attendance was taken. In attendance were:

The minutes from the previous meeting were read and approved with corrections.

Movie Committee:

Last weeks movie was not Space Balls (again) because it cannot be reserved over a weekend. Instead, The Last Starfighter was shown.
The movie for this week will be Star Wars.
A reminder: the movies are shown at 3:00pm Sundays in Heitz TV Room.
It was suggested that movie listings & times (and times of other events) be posted on members' doors, so that they can remember them and can act as more advertisement.

Recruitment Committee:

Setting up mirror of Vidiot's Voyager WWW site soon.
Todd Smith's email address has finally been added to the membership list.
Jay Johnson is interested in setting up a Psi Phi sector at Lewis University. We thus need a committee to discuss changes required by going to multiple sectors.
We need to start thinking about Activities Fair and the stuff we want there. Joe suggested a video. Bob S. suggested a committee.
Start thinking about getting an office in Sisson. Matt offered to look into it.
Matt questioned the Rules of Acquisition being on (such a noticeable spot on) the brochure. Suggestions were made for either changing it to a "Top 10 Reasons to Join Psi Phi" list, or append "Ferengi" to it and/or move it to a different place. The Chief will take it under advisement.

Grand Nagus:

Spent $3 renting movie, and $1 for the VCR. (Jeff offered his VCR for the future.)
The current balance is $52.12.
With the $1.50 to Joe for posters, it will be $50.62
Please pay dues.
Still looking into copy account.
There shouldn't be much more "petty cash" spending on movies because the next few movies (the Star Wars Trilogy) are owned by Bob S.
[Correction: the Star Wars Trilogy is owned by David "Lunch" Rowe. Bob S. owns the Star Trek movie series.]
We still need to find out about summer storage for money. If we get the office, a strongbox there would be good.
David H. asked if the budget was drawn up. No, because most of our spending is copies and rental, which are pay-as-you-need items.

Communications Officer:

Jeff was originally counted late on last week's minutes, but that was remedied on the second-edition minutes.
Minutes corrections will be made after the next meeting, both for ease of correction and for limiting number of mailings.
The SAO now knows that Psi Phi has new officers.
Birthdays have been added to the members list. (Donald pointed out that his birthday was off by a day--that will be corrected.)
Matt asked if the Communications Officer will have to deal with the other sectors. That will be discussed.

First Officer:

No Report.
Joe asked if he ever has a report. No was the reply.
Bob S. pointed out that the formation of the Recruitment Committee should be mentioned in the First Officer's report.

Captain:

Meeting time for written science fiction discussion: no one has time to organize it, so either mail to Psi Phi list or, even better, post such discussion to bu.sf-lovers. [Item Closed.]
Science Fictional Fantasy seminar: David H. says that Dr. Chapman should have mentioned Psi Phi today, but has not.
Security officer: it wouldn't be needed much, so just have the most intimidating member function as such (unofficially).
Other junior officers: CMO and committee heads are unofficially ranked positions (have "rank" but not part of the Constitution).
Reminder of Bylaw Section 1 Article I: Be non-disruptive during episodes.

It was suggested that the meetings be moved to the Harper-Wyckoff Study Room, but doing so was decided against, because it's too busy and the TV Room is more convenient.
Matt pointed out that there's a Harper-Wyckoff committee to spend the rest of the Halls' money which meets at 9:00pm on Sundays. Harper-Wyckoff residents should attend and voice good suggestions.
Jeff B. paid his dues at this time, and is now a member and his status will be updated in the membership list.
Matt suggested looking into getting a speaker through SABRC, and that we should start thinking about who we'd want: someone with enough appeal to bring in non-members. Matt will get the info from the SABRC office in Sisson and Psi Phi will go through that info on Tuesday at 9:00.
David H. noted an ad in the Scout for Greek T-Shirts and apparel. Bob S. offered to look into it to see if the prices were reasonable for us.
Matt has offered to be on the multi-sector committee that will be forming (as mentioned in the Chief Of Operations' report).

The meeting was adjourned at 11:09pm.
