MITSFS Meeting Minutes

Friday, October 26, 1962



The meeting was called to order at 5:07 PM EDT by guess who. The minutes were read and approved. The secretary was advised 1) by Shinnick that all anonymous motions to adjourn are officially made by Miller, and 2) by Olsen that Olsen does not exist; the person I have been calling Olsen is really Tom.

BING!
