Committee Reports

The Lord High Embezzler was not present so no treasurer's report was heard.

Moocomm: no report.

Theftcomm: three posters stolen.

Libcomm: no one came up to cover books; Lovecraft did not come.

War Council: no word from Dean Holden.

Carnalcomm: infinity report- 1) a sneaky deal with APO was made by which we get all sorts of stuff free in exchange for a booth in dekagon (building 10), 2) volunteers are needed to man (or coed) Carnalcommvicecomm as M. Johnson is caught up in a mad whirl of conflict-of-interests, interlocking directorates, and the like.

Old Business

Clement will be here 29 of April. Lewis (on behalf of MITSFS) will invite Abernathy.

A question in re the Finance board which wasn't was raised. It was suggested that it be sent to Inscomm. "It" being the report.

We decided that Robert Abernathy will be guest of honor at the banquet. It was also suggested that the overworked secretary inform him.
