As the Communications Officer, it is my duty and honor to report that, for the first time in recorded history, after the minutes were read, there was thundering APPLAUSE. Thank you, thank you.

Committee Reports:

• Sunday around 1ish, The Matrix was to be shown.

Officer's Reports:

• Various people will be added to the email list. For those who need to be added: if you don't get this email, email me your address. :)

• No report.

• The club will soon be legal - our club registration form is being filled out.
• Mail:
  • We got some mail about Homecoming activites. However, as there are no teams actually coming home, we probably won't participate.

New Business:

• We should take Away Missions to conventions or movies. What's playing? Monica can drive a Bradley van if we need it.
• We should also plan T-shirts!!! If we make them cool enough, we could even sell them.
• We can also cosponsor a movie, perhaps Star Wars Episode I, with ACBU to help promote Psi Phi.

• Scifi book news:
  • "Vulcan's Heart," featuring Spock's wedding. Yes, you read that right.
  • "I, Q," an autobiographical work by John DeLancie and Peter Davidson, told from the viewpoint of Q.
  • "Star Trek: Adventures in Time and Space," a look back at the best of the Star Trek books and novels. There are excepts of 70 different works, and a great guide/timeline.
  • 2 new New Frontier books will be coming out in November.
  • Starting with the November issues, the new 'book guide' list at the end of Star Trek books will be error-free, thanks to David's corespondence with the publishers. Go Chief!
