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 as corrected.

Movie Committee:

Last week's showing of Star Trek IV was skipped. Star Trek V and VI were shown as scheduled. Attendance: 5, 5 ¹/₂.
Star Trek V and VI will be shown again, as scheduled.
Bob will be late to this week's movies, so will arrange with Joe to take care of setup.
Joe might not have all four TekWar movies. He will check.
Erinn asked if the showing of STV and STVI again is redundant. Yes, it is, but the schedule will be kept.

Recruitment Committee:

There has not been time to make up the TekWar posters, which, in a way, is good, since Joe is checking on having all of them.

Multi-Sector Committee:

It has been confirmed: Paul S. is the committee chairman.
Paul hasn't been on the #PsiPhi IRC channel recently, but David takes notes when he's on: 4 others have visited, and 1 has returned. (One of the new ones was from Germany.)
David has found out about UIUC's Sci-Fi Club, and is thinking of opening an e-mail dialogue with them regarding joining Psi Phi.

Chief of Operations:

Has not yet changed the pictures associated with each officer.
The Psi Phi Web has had its first visitor from Mexico. It has been added to more Web indices, bringing in even more visitors. And there is at least one non-Bradley homepage on which Psi Phi is linked.

Grand Nagus:

There has been no change: $55.47 Total, $40.00 in the account.
The Nagus will not be at upcoming episode viewings, due to a report on the Locarno Agreements (no relationship to the TNG character).
David informed the Nagus that there will be a book-version of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, soon.

Communications Officer:

Asked the Nagus about who has agreed to pay, of the unpaid members. Those who have not will have their membership status corrected.

First Officer:

Flooded the Scout with blue posters in an attempt to get them to advertise the movies.
David mentioned that since the Scout was going on-line, we could provide a link to the Fusion section.

Captain:

Psi Phi now has a mailbox (as David discovered), and has received mail:
- A package including an application for an Office next year (which will be filled out later), Club registration form for next year, scholarship applications, service award applications, and the "Outstanding Academic Advisor Award" nomination form. See the Captain about any of these.
- The Technology Forum flyer. See the Captain.
- ACBU wants coordinators. See the Captain.

Erinn asked about the Harper/Wyckoff TV: Bobby Ray said that the Hall Director said it was probably stolen, and will most likely not be replaced this semester. Matt Detzler e-mailed the list, saying to take that up at the Har/Wyc Council meeting on Sunday.
David reported that the current 10:00pm on Wednesday meeting time was the only universally agreeable time. Meetings will continue at this time.
It was decided, due to the lack of a Har/Wyc TV, to move the meetings to the Heitz TV Lounge, still at 10:00pm. Joe asked Erinn to okay this with the Heitz Hall Director. Any Psi Phi episode viewings will also take place there, except for Babylon 5, which will have to viewed elsewhere. Joe, Bobby Ray, and Bob S. (when he's there) have volunteered their rooms for B5 viewing, or find your own location.
Bob S. still hasn't talked with David Fry of Ace Ventures about getting Psi Phi T-shirts, and probably will not this week.
David e-mailed Peter A. David on Wednesday. Thursday morning, there was a reply: he is quite busy, currently. David responded, asking about free time next semester. (Since he usually doesn't charge a fee, the fact that Psi Phi doesn't have SABRC funding does not matter.)
Peter brought up the voting on the psiphi@lydia account-usage rules. They will be voted on next week.
David pointed out that Jay Johnson also has a copy of the Star Trek murder mystery game, in case Peter cannot find his.

David has a list of Star Trek character fan clubs. See him.
David posted a list of Voyager character appearances, and it's also on the Web.
Joe has all issues of the B5, Leonard Nimoy's Primortals, and Gene Roddenberry's Lost Universe comic books.
David says the next Star Trek movie is due out in November 1996. No contracts or scripts, as of yet.
David says that there's a Star Trek interactive CD-ROM Encyclopedia in the works, currently asking for name suggestions.
Bob S. pointed out the existence of the ST: Interactive Technical Manual on CD-ROM.
Max Grode'nchik (Rom) will be on Apollo 13, a movie about the tragic mission.
Coming soon: the "Audio Klingon Immersion Studies," learn Klingon with an exclusively-Klingon-speaking teacher.
David's miscellaneous web announcements:
- April Fool's Day Voyager information post, from last year.
- DS9 and Voyager Quick Reference Guides.
- NEW: Upcoming Activities: a list of Psi Phi scheduled events and episode or movie viewings.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:34pm.
