This will allow the library to spread out into the rest of the original space - much needed space, we will finanly be able to get many books out off boxes - and use the new room for a new lounge/meeting room and media viewing room - also much needed, as the other room had become way too cramped. We will be moving things shortly. Things we are looking for: Shelves, decorations (including new design ideas for the new door), possibly a second cheapy t.v. -- as always book donations and tiles. ***Comic book fundraiser will be taking place on Nov. 19th in the lobby of the SAC from 12-3ish. Planet Comics in the mall is under new management, and we won't be getting any donations from them this time around. Please ask your local comic store if they would like to donate anything. ***Penny fundraiser is happening in the forum... bring in your penny jars and dump them in the water bottle located next to the desk in the Forum. The faster it gets filled up, the sooner it's hard for people to pick up and borrow from. Both of these fundraisers are for attending the World Science Fiction in August next year. On the 22nd (the day of the punishment party) Colleen will be holding a LARP (Live Action Role Play) in Javits. You need to comtact her if you would like to participate in order to make charaters and figure out what team you will be on. Her e-mail is c*****l@****.com And TODAY (friday), meet at the Forum at 4:00 to go Rock (Wall) Climbing. The place is in Plainview I believe, and costs about $20. You get a lesson, then have the rest of the night to climb. Rob says that you should definately NOT wear jeans... try sweat pants and that everyone should try it.. don't worry about your strength. :) We'll car pool too - so just come and we'll figure out a way to get you there. If you need instructions to get to Laura and Wendy's place... try l******r@i*.******b.edu or call the Forum. The are two parties coming up. **One is at Laura and Wendy's on the 8th. That's this weekend for all of you that can't believe that November is actually moving swiftly by. **The second party is a "You've all been very naughty! Report to the president's house for punishment!" party at my place on Nov. 22nd. It had to be done. :) IMPORTANT NOTICE to SMOKERS... please do not put your cigarettes out against the wall outside the Forum, and if at all possible avoid smoking in the Harriman building at all. We have gotten complaints from a building manager. Building managers have power... let's try to hold on to the new room! If you are interested in volunteering for ICON... please see them now. Don't wait till the actual convention to get involved. Animated Perspectives has a new large screen tv.. check it out in Club Alley in the Union. Jennifer Adams, Beatnik, Presarian
