New Business

Lewis wants to invite Hal Clement Stubbs to a small informal meeting this term.

MI (Y) Something about writing letters to Gernsback.

MI (Skinner) Something about making motions to ignore motions.

Lewis announced that this was his birthday. He's expecting me to make some snide remark about it in the minutes, so I won't.

MI (Skinner) to sing "Happy Birthday" to Lewis.

TIMEOUT. As noted (negatively) about, the treasurer was absent at this meeting, so that no one was able to purchase a spring term membership. Only three persons present at this meeting, including Campbell, had paid previously, thus securing voting rights. This explanation was necessary to explain the following vote. Okay, back on the time track.

MSP (Tom) to adjourn. (1+epsilon)-1. 5:30 PM.



Douglas J. Hoylman, Secretary
