Minutes

Call To Order:

Attendance:

• Brad Boyer
• Eric Gustafson
• David Henderson (Chief of Operations)
• Peter C. Jones (Communications Officer)
• Erinn Lineback (Grand Nagus)
• Paul Mulka (Captain)
• Seth Robison (First Officer)
• Ward Ryder
• Rich Spiwak
• Don Wood (CMO)

Minutes:

Committee Reports:

• The movie for this week will, if all goes well, be 2001, and Ward's German-Trek clips will be shown.
• David mentioned that last week's "movie" ended up being the previous week's Voyager, because Seth's Ice Pirates tape was not in good condition.
• Seth also has Clash of the Titans available as a movie (but he will check it first, before he actually tries showing it).

• No Report.
• Erinn heard from Joe Grabowski (elminstr@cris.com) who proposed some sort of on-line get-together.

• No Report.

• More regrettably, both members that were present tonight had just been near the T-Shirt designs, but neither remembered to bring them. (There is speculation that the bringing of the design will be dependent upon the showing of the German clips by Ward.)

Officer's Reports:

• Someone needs to reserve the Wyckoff TV Room for Tuesday nights, 9:00-10:00pm for DS9 and 10:30-11:45pm Saturdays for Voyager. Seth said he will.
• The Chief is now the official "Keeper of the Credits" for DS9 and Voyager.

• The current balance is $90.77, after two more dues payments.
• Has had horrid luck whenever she tries to find anyone in SABRC.

• No Report.

• Volleyball Tournament: Thanks to Ward and Erinn, our backup players who ended up being needed, and to Monica. [Communications Officer Note: The First Officer was the fourth member of the team.] We beat the first team and lost to the second--but not without some great plays by our team, especially Erinn's two consecutive aces!

• Listed our various pieces of mail. There was a letter from the Scout asking for any Psi Phi information and activity updates, but other than that there was nothing super-important.
• Erinn asked if there's ever more than one piece of mail actually directed at us (rather than just advertisements): not usually.
• There was a room change for tonight: we're in Meeting Room 5. Next week, we'll be in Meeting Room 6 (as per the schedule).

Old Business:

• The "Beardless Dave" picture is still not in.
• Road Trip: a Sci-Fi convention was suggested.
• SABRC: Seth asked other clubs about getting money from SABRC; from the response, he's not worried about the relatively small amount we'd be asking for.
• [Comm. Off. Note: Discussion flowed from SABRC back to Road Trip]: Erinn noted that a regional road trip (2-3 hours) would be feasible in the short-term, but a long-distance road trip would take much more planning, and would likely not occur for at least a year.
• Seth also mentioned that in a list of possible speakers to be brought to Bradley was included Avery Brooks. We could have our name attached and invite him, if we so desired. Reaction: it seemed like we did so desire.
• www.psiphi.org:
  • David: Bradley will not provide nameservice. However, Michael Brown (Vidiot) has agreed to provide that nameservice for us. InterNIC has been informed of the new nameserver (though it might take a while for them to process the notification).
  • Eric: Congratulated David for arranging that. Computing services has taken the steps necessary to temporarily keep the domain from being lost. However, the administration has expressed concerns about the URL "http://www.psiphi.org/" being used, and it pointing to the Bradley University homepage, and would prefer that not happen. Unless a method could be devised by which that would not occur, they would prefer that www.psiphi.org not refer to www.bradley.edu.
  • Vote: 2 voted to keep the psiphi.org domain, the rest voted against keeping it. [The Comm. Off. apologizes to those who thought they were abstaining: the wording of the vote was such not expressing a vote was voting against.] Therefore, Psi Phi will not keep the domain. (However, David announced that he will personally keep the domain, but will soon have it pointing nowhere, until such time as Psi Phi has the resources and desires to have the domain again.)

New Business:

• TV Announcements by David:
  • Sliders: Will begin Friday, March 1, at 7:00pm Central.
  • Strange Luck: Season will end February 23, but it has been renewed for the Fall.
  • American Gothic (which is not being shown during February) will be back in March.
  • Highlander: The Series has been renewed.
  • The Outer Limits has had two more seasons ordered by Showtime.
  • Alien 4: Was to be called Resurrection. However, they might be changing the name, freeing that title up for the next Star Trek movie.
• Ward: asked if anyone had recorded this week's DS9, so that he could borrow the tape. Yes, David did, and will loan it to him.
