• A sample: "Being crazy does have its advantages."
• Specific disorder ensues while it is debated whether or not Marisa's scepter poses a security risk.

• {Apparently, no report was given, since there are no notations indicating such in the Comm Officer's minutes, but we all know that the Comm Officer is crazy anyway, so we'll just improvise.}
• No report.

Officers' Reports:

• The minutes from last week are up.
• Also, the main page and the officers' page on the Bradley website have been updated. Woohoo!
• The Comm Officer is open to suggestions for perking up the Bradley webpage.
• TNN has been cutting out the last two minutes of each night's TNG 1 am episode during this week's marathon for some sort of home shopper's network infomercial. Don't complain to AT&T Cable, as they said it was a national problem.

• "Captain, we're receiving over 285,000 hails." --Wesley, "Parallels"
• Everything's under control.

• The current balance is $400.63, the "same" as last week.
• We have about $34 in the copy account, after subtracting $4.50 for flyers for the Enterprise premiere.
• Since the Nagus already vented about statistics in MCS, he doesn't need to do so here.
• The Nagus proclaims "The West Wing" to be "good." Ryan counters that wrestling is "better."

• The Enterprise BBS is now up and running, monitored by David. Go talk!
• If Ryan can attend the next WWF event in Chicago, he should hold up a sign for Psi Phi.

• No report.

• The Captain relays a joke from Dr. Flint, which is duly paraphrased and recorded in the minutes:
  • "What do you get when you cross an elephant with a giraffe?"
  • "Elephant*giraffe*cos(theta)."
  • "What do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhinoceros?"
  • "Elephant*rhinoceros*cos(theta)."
  • "What do you get when you cross an elephant with a mountain climber?"
  • "You can't cross an elephant with a mountain climber; a mountain climber is a scaler!!"
• Specific disorder ensues.
• The Constable sings "Letters," with members singing in general unison.

New Business:

• Marisa remarks that Bradley is starting up the Quiz Bowl again. Anti-Joel regales the club with tales of great deeds done and battles won by Psi Phi teams entered in this event in the past.
