MITSFS Meeting Minutes
Friday, September 20, 2002

MITSFS meeting called to order, 1700 SST, Skinner Ed Keyes presiding. Andrew Clough is the ever improving Onseck.

The minutes are read.

Motion: Was that last meeting? Fails for lack of a second.

BING!

Committee Reports

Mobcomm: Buffy books are apparently considered children/young adult books.

Mobcomm$_2$: The new, Battlefield Earth 20th Century edition is coming out. On a related notes, it was false advertising way back when, when a previous edition claimed that it would soon be made into two Major Motion Pictures. The sound track that came with this earlier edition also lacked instructions, such as ``play it loud with the lights off.'' There is a general agreement that headlights don't count here.

Phonecomm: Ring!

Motion: Commend the losing of Battlefield Earth books. Chickens, 2-2-3+Spehn.

BING!

Old Business

The Onseck (that's me) recently learned how to use LATEX, and type up the minutes. Learning to print, and then to spell are on the list.

In the old days, cavemen typed up their documents on dedicated electronics, which only worked as word processors and nothing else.

The existence of people majoring in Materials Science is debated.

Usual stuff

Our bank account has bottomed out.

BING!

Timewarp To: Committee Reports

Pseudo-Jourcomm: TZ real soon now, like maybe March.

BING!

Future Business

We got trade advances for October

Due to endowment returns being calculated over the average of 5 years, we're still in the dotcom boom.

Out way of securing our safe is analogous to that of our countries way of securing its nuclear devices, in that there is no one person who both knows the combination and the special technique of entering it.

Motion: Get a new safe, which needs both a combination and the consumption of a banana within 30ft to open. Passes 8-0-2+Spehn

Meeting is adjourned, 1739 SST

Respectfully submitted,
Andrew Clough, Onseck 1

P.S. We forgot to read the synopsis from The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories.
