bing Committee Reports

(S G) Cornelia Otis - Shanty Town III.

(WDS) Sit Comm - The Twin Peaks 2 hour movie was very David Lynch. Amazingly odd and very high production quality for television. I'm not sure whether I liked it or not.

(PJN) Moo Comm - The Adventures of Robin Hood tonight as the classic, and Peter Pan tomorrow. Just as a note, The Little Mermaid broke all sorts of records at LSC by getting 1630 people.

(WDS) Cornelia Otis - Back last December, when the US invaded Panama, Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney announced that 2 Stealth fighter-bombers were used and delivered their bombs with pinpoint accuracy. In reality, Plane A hit target B on the dot and Plane B missed everything by about 300 yards.



bing Old Business

(PJN) I got a letter from a former keyholder who is a professor of physics and astronomy at a New England college. All his students have to do what is apparently the equivalent of a thesis. Some girl there is doing hers on science-fiction, and they need someone to act as outside examiner. They want some suggestions from us...

Old business Algol - Usual everything: bing



New Business

(WDS) Mini Cult/Whoosh Comm - Someone is claiming that tomatoes which will be grown from seeds up in low-earth orbit for 6 years could be poisonous. NASA is not happy at all....

Seth makes a very bad motion that the Onseck refuses to repeat.

Motion fails 3 to 7 to 4 plus Spehn.

(WDS) That was about the most inane banana motion that I have ever heard.

Motion passes 7 to 6 to 1 plus Spehn.

Meeting adjourned 1713 SST.



Respectfully submitted,

Derrick Kong, Onseck
