(Shawn) Motion to approve the minutes as cute and bouncy, just like the Skinner.

(JP) I am not cute!

Motion to approve the minutes as cute and Merryl-sy. Groans follow along with Albanian motion (JME). Passes many-4-1 +Spehn.

Friendly amendment- "like Judy." Passes about 12-5-2 +Spehn.

BING!

Committee Reports

(TLH) T-shirtcomm: They're in! They look magnificent! (Cries of "Take it off!", "Yea!", "You too, Merryl.", and other disgusting but amusing comments.) 5 dollars each.

(JME) Motion to condemn Tim for refusing to strip. Passes 3-7-2 +Spehn.

Motion to commend Tim for voting with a very nice leg as well. JP: "This one's going to pass so you might as well vote on it." Chickens 1-2-4 +Spehn. (Note: all 4 votes were from Tim.)

Moocomm: A Clockwork Orange tomorrow. (Merryl) Tomatoes on Sunday. (TLH) Airplane tonight.

Moocomm: For an even worse spoiler- the comic book version is out. (Must be Albanian.)

(JP) The picnic is Sunday. Meet at the office at 10:30, especially if you have a car. Pray for good weather.

(JME) Motion to pray to the great god Spofford for good weather. JP: "It's gonna pass, let's not vote on it."

(JP) Technique is out; they actually put in our officer list this year and put in the honorary dead plant, Andy... head of the Student Art Association.

(JME) Motion to condemn Technique for calling A^2 the vice president instead of vice. Passes unanimously.

Move to ask Technique to go through all copies with black magic markers. Passes many-0-3 +Spehn.

(JME and many others) "Pay attention, Andrew!" etc. Motions to condemn, commend, etc., all of which were totally ignored, especially by Andy.

Meaningless matrix vote- result: "Who cares?" (JP)

V was about as bad as you'd expect. Followed by more meaningless comments on the show. (Tim) Sequel time! (JME) They intend to make V into a series because of the good ratings- once again showing the great taste of the American public.

Still more comments...

BING!

Old Business

OBAlgol, usual everything.

(JP) Okay, let's give Tom a memorial gag. (Yea!) Passes unanimously.

Much confusing and meaningless noise for a while...

BING!

New Business
