bing Committee Reports fnord

(HM) Oh, I guess somewhat belated Aloha Lenscomm: the photo album's back from the picnic with new pictures, spares are laying around somewhere for people to wander off with.

(S) Like right there on the table.

(HM) Probably so, you're blocking my view.

(CH) This might be too much like New Business, but evidently someone's looking for a student for a job.

(JM) PseudoFweekComm: Rush is over.

General cheering.

(ED) PseudoFweekComm: Filk and Cookies was a raging success, at least among some upperclassmen, and we did have a few freshmen show up there.

(HM) In other words, a lot of people raged at you, or?

(JM) Yes.

(ED) No, a lot of people sang and made weird noises.

bing Old Business fnord

(DK) Oh, I guess this sort of falls under SitComm/Old business. Isn't there supposed to be some sort of TV special thingy, something celebrating the 25th anniversary of Star Trek. I think this coming week?

(JS?) They're showing old movies this Saturday.

(CH) Well, they're having the WKRP 50th anniversary special on Saturday night at 8 pm on Channel 5 or 7.

(HM) Actually, Adina spotted Tim Huckleberry at Shycomm. That's Old Business. That's Ancient Business.

(DK) The oh-so-esteemed Mr.Hitchcock dropped by a couple nights ago with a donation.

(JS?) Did we shoot it?

(DK) Well, he came with an offering of books so we let him live.

(HM) Were they books that we wanted?

(DK) Some, yeah.

(HM) Oh, and next weekend our not-so-illustrious former Skinner Phil Nesser is getting married.

(JM) Oh, the poor girl.

(HM) No, I don't think you need to feel sorry for Wendy.

(LM) She knew what she was getting into.

(JM) This business is getting fairly old: does anyone know who donated these books?

(DK) No clue, so we'll just take them.

ALGOL.

USUAL.

bing New Business fnord

(HM) What about the Usual Debate?

Notice is read about a UROP student wanted and needed. The request is on display in the MITSFS. It is amusing to read.

General blather about the job notice.

(P) Move to end the meeting without passing a motion with the word “banana” in it.

Motion chickens 2 to 3 to 3 plus Spehn fnord.

(HG?) Move to be nasty to Jamie with a banana.

Motion fails 23 to 42 to 3125 plus Spehn fnord.

Miller motion.

Fails.

(CH) Mojo will be playing tomorrow night.

(HM) We could just leave Derrick sitting here until such time as he gets bored.

(?) Move to be extremely nice to the Onseck.

Motion passes many many to no one who counts to a few plus Spehn.

Meeting adjourns 1714 SST.
