Friday, June 21, 1985




MITSFS meeting called to order, 1700 SST, Andy Su, President and Skinner, presiding.

Minutes of the previous meeting (6/14/85) read and corrected.

SSDT: If they return a Witter shipment to Wisconsin, it'll be gone forever.

BPS: Minicult: Mail delivery on a residential block in Houston has been suspended until a mockingbird there is done raising its family, at which point it will presumably stop attacking the postmen who walk past its nest.

And another Minicult: The Cubans are pointing to the change in the taste of Coke and the associated uproar as a sign of America's ongoing moral collapse. Attached.
