Minutes: Summarized and approved.

• We are meeting in the Student Center cafeteria tonight, since all the rooms in the basement are set up for the job fair tomorrow. (Thank you, Lyz, for letting us into the cafeteria!)
• As such, we need to hurry the meeting up so we can be out by 10:45. To this end, David reads the minutes from last week to facilitate things, while the Comm Officer scribbles like mad.
• Carl arrives at 10:16.

Committee Reports:

• We should make posters to put up around campus, to remind people that we'll watch the premiere of Enterprise in Neumiller Hall next week at 7 pm.
• Ryan works in duplicating, so he can have "electric yellow" posters made up for us.
• Details about the posters will be worked out later between David and Ryan.
• People will be needed on Monday or so to help put the posters up in the dorms and on campus.
• "One Small Step" will be the Voyager repeat shown next week after Enterprise. We should extend our reservation in Neumiller in case we want to watch it, too.
• The meeting next week will be at 10 pm. We could have it in Neumiller, but again we'd have to extend our current reservation in order to do so. If not, it'll be in the Student Center, Room 5 (hopefully...).

• We exist. That's about it.
• Results of an informal straw vote indicate that Sunday afternoon would be a good time to view movies.
• Email movie suggestions to Julie.

• The motion by the Nagus to put Mets logos on the t-shirts is quickly defeated.

• Five weird words are uttered.
• No report.

Officers' Reports:

• The minutes are up.
• {Did you notice that approximately 38.1% of the people at tonight's meeting had their last names start with either K or W? Isn't that weird?}

• "The best diplomat I know is a fully-loaded phaser bank!" --Scotty, "A Taste of Armageddon"
• Everything's under control.

• The current balance is $400.66, minus 1 embezzled penny.
• Apparently, we still have a copy account with duplicating. The amount in it is unknown at this time.
• Since next week's meeting will fall under Yom Kippur, the Nagus requests that nobody bring food next week, lest he go crazy.
• By request of the Nagus, it is noted that Amy says hi, and "Yeeeipong!"

• There is a lot of new Enterprise stuff up at the website, including various Enterprise links.
• You can check it out at http://enterprise.psiphi.org. (Go look at it! It's nifty!)

• No report.

• The Constable sings "Letters."
• Mail:
  • A memo from the SABRC, telling us how to go about getting money {Isn't that what David is for? :-)}
• The Facility Request Form has been turned in, so we have an office in Sisson Hall for another semester. Yay!
• Neumiller Lecture Hall has been reserved for the Enterprise premiere next Wednesday from 6:45 to 9:15. We'll try to get it extended to 10:00, so we can also watch the Voyager repeat.
• The Captain still needs to reserve/obtain/beg/borrow/steal a projector for Wednesday, without which the whole idea pretty much falls apart.
• Room 5 in the Student Center basement has been reserved for Psi Phi meetings for the rest of the semester, tonight's fiasco notwithstanding.

Scifi News:

• Steven Spielberg is interested in directing the third (and only the third) Harry Potter movie, if anyone asks him.
• The Phantom Menace DVD is due out on October 16, featuring seven scenes that were "deleted" from the movie. (Actually, they were "added" to the DVD, since they were not finished in time for the movie.)
