Treasurer Report: +9 dues, -1.69 misc expenses, for a grand total of 351.60.
Libcomm (Lewis speaking for Libcomm): Donations- Humer- a mess of ASFs, Williams. Additions to library- The Drums of Tapajos (S.P. Meek) and Rim of Space (A. Bertram Chandler). Speiser will keep the library open nights, late. Lewis wants to subscribe to New Worlds and Science Fantasy, 2 good British mags. Lewis wrote the binder in Indiana about swatches of material. He doesn't want to traffic with Portugal's Fascist regime.
Jourcomm: Morris handed out a poop sheet. He wants material. (When I was Jourcomm, I wanted stuff too, Bernie, but...)
Moocomm is Martha Harper, Court says. But I don't believe it, since she wasn't here. We have Kresge for last day of classes.
Theftcomm: "Posters up," quoth the Lensch.
War Council: Quiescent.
Vengeance Fleet: In port, being overhauled.

The Secretary made a beautiful and eloquent speech denouncing 1) Norwood and 2) Robert's Rules. He received an ovation from the more elderly (mature?) section of his audience.
