Committee Reports:

• Jeff will be reimbursed for his generous purchases of the weekly movies.
• Psi Phi will receive part of the profits generated from purchases of books from Amazon.com (such as the new hardbound Star Trek Encyclopedia, regularly $50 but only $35 through our page) through our webpage.

• The away mission to see Starship Troopers went very well.

• No report; only junk mail.

Old Business:

• The Bradley Scout's coverage of the College Bowl was terribly incomplete, in that it mentioned all of the competing teams except ours. The Communications Officer will draft a letter to the Editor in the wake of this outrage, which will be mailed out over email before being submitted.
• The Wycoff TV room was closed last week from Thursday to Sunday, due to repairs of some nature.

New Business:

• The new TV Guide features coverage of the X-files this week.
• It has been noted that recent DS9 episodes have some parallels to biblical stories, especially those of Moses and the Exodus. In a recent internet chat, Ron Moore (coexecutive producer of DS9 and the writer of the last episode) did admit that Moses's character influenced Sisko's, and that there are more parallels to come.
• January 28th's episode of DS9 will be "Who Mourns for Morn," and later episodes will include "The Magnificent Ferengi," "Waltz," and "One Little Ship."
• A mid-March episode of Babylon 5 will feature Rebo and Zooty, portrayed by Penn and Teller, and will be written by Nail Gaiman.
