The ASA said that a lot of groups didn't fill out their reallocation requests, so we may get a lot of their space.

Motion to declare Margaret (who won the costume contest) MITSFS's Commisar-General passes by Skinnerial decree. She won a 300-point Warhammer 40k army; unfortunately, about half of it is on back order. Once it is assembled, she wants to use it to take over the UA and the ASA.

JourComm

Kat's wrists are hurting less, so the TZ Frame to L^ATEXconversion may finally finish. "Can't you remote-control Brian?" BTS: "This was tried. Her typist was fired."

Motion to introduce "woof" to unite the divers threads in our warp passes.

MHG: "Can I introduce an anti-motion to destroy the universe, and thus all traces that that motion ever existed?" ED: "That would be a small price to pay..."

Motion to set fire to the loom a la David Brin chickens.
