Minutes:

Committee Reports:

• Stargate this weekend: the brochure is printed and will hopefully be approved tomorrow. We need volunteers to stand outside and hand the brochures to viewers. (Sign-up sheet passed.)
• Bob S. suggested a banner in the distributing area for more exposure.
• We will have permission to distribute the brochures, as long as the ACBU first gets to see them. They will be shown on Thursday, and were shown the old one on Wednesday.

• The showing of Star Wars was a success! Nine people were present.
• The movie for this week will be The Empire Strikes Back.
• First Officer Bobby Ray talked with the Scout. There will be an ad on Fusion Page 4.
• Matt suggested getting the Marty Theatre for an end-of-semester Psi Phi sponsored late-night movie. Tabled till people have time.
• Bob S. passed around his schedule for the showing of the Star Trek movie series:

  	 Feb 26    Mar 05    Mar 26    Apr 02
  	1:00 ST1  1:00 ST2  1:00 ST4  1:00 ST5
  	3:15 ST2  3:00 ST3  3:00 ST5  3:00 ST6
          5:15 ST3  5:00 ST4  5:00 ST6 

Officer's Reports:

• The Voyager WWW mirror of Vidiot's Voyager page is now open. (Printouts were passed around for the curious.)
• Jay Johnson said that setting up the Lewis University sector would not be feasible this semester.
• The brochure has been edited: the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition have traded places with the Officers list.
• Matt didn't find out yet about the office in Sisson, but Joe says that we'd need a good reason to get one.
• Bob S. had two poster suggestions:
  1. Try different colors on our posters.
  2. Not so much text and make the text bigger. Single-purpose posters.

• Last week's balance was $52.12. Jeff B. paid, bringing it up to $57.12. After poster-copying costs, it was down to $55.62. Paul S. paid this meeting, bringing us to $60.62.
• Hasn't yet checked into getting an account with Duplicating.
• Still no budget (because there's still nothing to budget).

• I broke my own rule and made pre-meeting corrections. I reserve that right.
• Joe suggested that the Communications Officer look into getting a mailbox with SAO and Bob S. mentioned that until we had one, Psi Phi mail would be forwarded to the Captain.

• No Report.

• Our turnout to the Harper/Wyckoff Council meeting was bad: only four members made it.
• Psi Phi mail: three pieces (forwarded to the Captain) that came too late to do us any good. That's a good reason for a mailbox.
• Results of the Har/Wyc Council meeting: door and TV have been suggested. The door needs to go through housing (that process has been started) and the TV would be internal to Har/Wyc.
• Tonight, after meeting, the senior officers will talk with Bryan Forsythe about both the door and the TV.
• Direct Order: If you are a Har/Wyc resident, attend the Council meetings.

Old Business:

• Science Fictional Fantasy seminar: still no mention of us there by Dr. Chapman, but Jeff B. said that he did mention us in his English class.
• The meeting about speaker information has been postponed.
• Greek T-shirts: two-letter T-shirts from the ad are $20 each. Bob S. will see if he can find a better deal--more on the shirt and/or lower cost.
• Multi-Sector Committee is being formed to formulate general procedures so that when we do expand, we will know what to do. Matt is the chairman, and David H. is a member.
• Reasons for an office: treasury, storage of documents and club possessions, and consolidation of phone bills. Matt will get the documents so we can start applying.

New Business:

• David H. passed around the info about us made public via the WWW for privacy considerations.
• Bobby Ray said there's going to be a Science Fiction writer here on Sunday, February 19th at 2:00pm.
• Peter passed on Jim Young's suggestion about Starfleet Command--a national Star Trek fan club that charters local clubs under a ship name and gives ranks--and said that he [Peter] might look into it further.
• Matt mentioned that graphic art students are looking for poster projects and that he'll get us a contact name after his meeting with them, so that we could suggest a Psi Phi project.
