Call To Order:

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

Attendance was taken. In attendance were:

A quorum was present.

Nakita Roberson requested a tape of the Voyager premier episode, "Caretaker." Bob S. offered his copy.

The minutes from the previous meeting were read, corrected, and approved.

Movie Committee:

The showing of The Empire Strikes Back was a success! There were 16 people that watched at least part of it, 7 were non-members.
This week's movie will be Return of the Jedi.
The movie ad in the Scout will run this week also (Fusion page 4). The Star Trek movie series ad will be placed after this week.

Recruitment Committee:

The passing out of flyers at Stargate went well: approximately 85 brochures were distributed. Thanks to Joe, Paul S., Peter, Bob S., and David H. for helping.
The permission to distributed those brochures was obtained from the ACBU on Friday.
Erinn asked if there were future movies at which we would be passing out brochures. Only Generations remains.

Multi-Sector Committee:

No report from the (absent) chairman.
It was asked how an unpaid, and thus non-active, member could chair a committee. The Grand Nagus will attempt to get the Chairman's dues to rectify this situation.

Chief of Operations:

Requested of the Grand Nagus $9.00 to cover brochure duplication costs (3 cents/side/brochure * 2 sides * 150 brochures). The Nagus will get the money to the Chief.
Updated the Membership List to include when each member joined Psi Phi.
Added a "What's on TV Tonight" web page, updated daily to list that day's and the next's evening television shows (or that day's and the previous day's listing).
Joe suggested that the Star Trek Parodies list be added to our web, and will get the info to the Chief.
Bob S. will be getting together with the Chief and Joe (probably on Friday) to design the Star Trek movie series poster.

Grand Nagus:

Paul Mulka paid his dues. Paul S. had only paid $4.00 of his dues.
The current balance is $64.62.
Chief of Operations needs to be reimbursed $9.00 for brochure duplicating costs.
Nagus will be "strongly encouraging" payment of dues from those who have not yet paid.
Nagus will be attending, with the Captain, a meeting on budgeting at 1:30 at the SABRC on Thursday.
Still no budget.
Nagus has not checked about duplicating account, but the Chief did: Without an account, copies are 5 cents per page; with an account, they are 2 cents per page. Until Psi Phi gets an account, David Fry has offered use of the College Libertarians' account.
The Chief of Operations gifted the Nagus with a laser-printout of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

Communications Officer:

Has still not looked into the Starfleet Command national fan organization.
He also hasn't looked into getting a mailbox. The Chief has offered to look into it if he has time. The Communications Officer appreciates that offer.

First Officer:

He has a report!
He has a list of QVC Star Trek merchandise. See him for the list.
Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars trilogy) will be on seaQuest DSV February 26th as a hostile morphing alien. The First Officer has a picture available for viewing--see him.

Captain:

The turnout of Psi Phi members to the Harper/Wyckoff Council was again poor--only three made it. The result of the meeting: Bob S. will be pricing TVs for the Council on Saturday morning.
Please attend Har/Wyc Council meetings.
The Captain has drawn up the plans for installing the door, and he has them available to view. He will turn them in to Brian Forsythe, the Harper/Wyckoff Hall Director.
Peter asked about a different viewing time for Babylon 5 than at 10:00pm Sunday (during the Council meeting), or at 11:00pm (immediately following the initial showing). Bob S. has the tapes, and Bobby Ray offered his TV+VCR at a mutally convenient time.
David H. pointed out that there should be a presence at the 10:00pm showing because it is one of our posted meeting times.

Bob S. has not had time to look any further into T-shirt costs.
The meeting for information about getting a guest speaker is still on hold, until Matt gets the information from ACBU.
The Science Fiction writer that will be speaking on Sunday, February 19th at 2:00pm is Steven Burgauer, the author of FORNAX. He will be in the Wyckoff Room at the Library. Bob S. pointed out that this may conflict with the showing of Return of the Jedi.
The graphics arts poster project would be good for producing the movie posters.
Dr. Chapman mentioned us in the Honors seminar today!

David H. announced that the Tom Snyder show on NBC will be hosting Kate Mulgrew ("Captain Janeway" of Star Trek: Voyager) this Thursday (February 16) and Harlan Ellison (writer for the original Star Trek series, and a Conceptual Consultant for Babylon 5) this Friday (Feb. 17).
A web-link to the Star Trek Parodies site is available from Joe's homepage.
Bob S. will be pricing TVs on Saturday morning for the Harper/Wyckoff Council. Feel free to come along to help.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:37pm.
