Minutes

Call To Order:

The meeting was called to order at 9:36pm by the Captain, Paul Mulka.

Attendance was taken. In attendance were:

The minutes from the previous meeting were summarized and approved as corrected.

Movie Committee:

A Clockwork Orange was out, so Logan's Run was shown instead.
No movie this Sunday or next, due to Spring Break. The next movie will be announced at the next meeting.

Recruitment and Relations Committee:

Robert Ray will know for sure by the end of April whether or not he'll be back.
Correction to the Psidebar: Jay Johnson will not be returning.
Activities Fair: start thinking about it early. It is the Monday or Tuesday before classes start in the Fall. Try getting a TV and showing Sci-Fi episodes or clips or the like. Possibly have a list of movies we've watched. Wear the T-Shirts (if they exist!).
Asked the freshmen for a copy of the "poster" that was in the Freshman Notebooks this year.

Multi-Sector Committee:

The Psi Phi Federation Charter ready for vote: 7 for (1 by proxy), 0 against, 2 abstaining. [By declaration of the Captain, because abstentions are equivalent to not being there to vote at all, it was declared to be a unanimous approval, though the abstainees were not so sure that it should be called "unanimous".] The Charter was then signed by the Senior Officers of Bradley Psi Phi, thus establishing the Psi Phi Federation!
Official contact will again be made with Psi Phi Literary Society of the University of Alberta, Canada, and Psi Phi of University of Virginia, USA.

T-Shirt:

Not Present.
David passed along the report: Eric and Brad will not likely be making to any more meetings, due to Physics and E.E. labs on Thursdays; Nate still works on Wednesday nights. Therefore, none of the committee will be here any more. Seth has now joined the committee, as a meeting-attending liaison, with the First Officer's implicit approval.
Erinn: We need to do whatever it takes to get the T-Shirts done by the end of this semester.
Vote: Blue lettering, with white comet: 8 for, 0 against, 0 abstaining. Unanimous.
Final design: Psi Phi symbol on front pocket, in Deep Sky Blue. "Science Fiction's Last, Best Hope..." in Deep Sky Blue with White comet, on a Black T-Shirt.
There is a T-Shirt shop right on Main St.

Chief of Operations:

Created mailing lists for info on the Deep Space Nine and Voyager web-pages, and web pages describing those lists.
Nicole Novak of eTV on CompuServe will post some of our Voyager information there, with permission.
Officer Webpages: there is a location for each officer to have a webpage with information about the position and the person holding the position. The Chief of Operations and Communications Officer both already make use of theirs. If the Officers have information they would like included, contact the Chief or Comm. Off., preferably with the information already in HTML.

Grand Nagus:

The current balance is $86.77.
Will once again try contacting Nate, to see if he can get his dues in before the Spring Break deadline.

Communications Officer:

Reminded the Grand Nagus to search for Spring 1995 financial records, to confirm the status of David Rowe. The Nagus suggested checking minutes from that semester to see if any names of those who had paid were mentioned.

Grand Nagus, Take 2:

First Officer:

Final SABRC report likely this semester: After talking with our SABRC advisor Mike Delaney on Thursday, it has been discovered that we are not likely to get funding for a club VCR because it will not benefit the student body as a whole. He suggested we try getting a VCR each week through A/V.

Captain:

No Report.
David: forgot to bring the mail. But included in the mail was an announcement that came either late Monday night or on Tuesday to "remind" us to come early for the Robert Hastings talk to help set up; unfortunately, the reminder came a bit late.

Cyberdesic: Has changed location, making personal visits by David much less convenient. All further communications will likely be via phone or e-mail. No new information, however.
Are Alumni Members eligible for running for office for a semester in which they will be back? Robert Ray would appreciate being able to at least run; let the vote decide whether or not they actually take office. Vote to allow Alumni to run: 4 for, 4 against, 0 abstaining. We will try to vote again next time.
Muppet Show: it was on tape, but the tape disappeared. However, "Pigs in Space: Deep Dish Nine" was not on last week; it will begin this week, with a special guest appearance of Leonard Nimoy.

David:
- Kindred: The Embraced--a speculative fiction show--will come to Fox as a Tuesday Movie on April 2nd, and will begin it's weekly episodes on Wednesday, April 3rd, at 8 Central.
- Michael York (star of Logan's Run) will be a guest on the upcoming Babylon 5 episode "A Late Delivery from Avalon".
- DS9 should begin second-run syndication (i.e., daily repeats of old episodes) this Fall.
- Season confusion:
  - Voyager will film a total of 26 episodes for "this season", yet, due to the four holdovers from the first season, the last four will be delayed until August or September. Since the producers actually knew that there would be another holdover, the last episode shown this spring will be somewhat of a cliffhanger.
  - Babylon 5 will have it's last three episodes held over until September or October, but are still part of the third season.
Erinn: Ethan Phillips (Neelix) was on a Chicago Hope episode on Monday.
Seth: Asked for sighting confirmation: was Ethan the cop in The Shadow? There were also some other unconfirmed sightings in that movie.
David: Andrea Thompson (Talia from Babylon 5) will play a recurring character on JAG (NBC, Wednesday 7pm Central).

The meeting was adjourned at 10:27pm.
