• (begin patriotic music) The Captain thanked the whole club for their participation and support, talked about the dedication it takes to be in Psi Phi, talked about preserving science fiction for posterity, mentioned passing on the torch to Joel, said it's been fun, and advocated scifi forever! (end patriotic music with crescendo, applause)

Old Business:

• The equipment for the party is reserved.

• There will be 2, count them, 2, new Voyagers this week, followed by Earth: Final Conflict.

New Business:

• Nominations are this week. See below.
• Joel: "C++ must be destroyed at any cost." This is new?

Ward's Vending Machine Coffee Report:

• Instead of buying coffee at the vending machine in the Student Center, you can buy it at Shell for only 50 cents (with prior mug purchase). Their coffee is twice as sweet and syruppy as Bradley coffee.
