First, a special thanks to Toast for telling the tale of Sherman

Raftenberg tonight, and thanks to all of the people who stopped by that

we don't always get to see. I'm sure Sherman was proud.

Upcoming Events:

This Sunday... Cataloging event. We will have new shelving units for

the library, and we will be expanding the library out along the walls.

We will need manpower for this, so please show up around 2 p.m. -

2/22/98. Bring food and drink. We have a fridge, microwave, and coffee

maker available in our lounge to use.

Wednesday... 2/25/98 *OPEN HOUSE* 4 p.m.- 8 p.m. We will be inviting

people from Polity, AMS, Student Activities, Staff and other faculty

that have had an influence on us. 3TV will also be putting in an

appearance. Though we are getting the usual pizza, we are asking that

people in the Forum, treat this Open House like a pot luck dinner, and

bring food.

Starship Troopers is playing at the large Staller movie theatre on Feb.

27th.

Rock (ok, Wall) Climbing, on 3/1/98 - meet at the Forum in Harriman 029

at 12 pm. First time people will cost about $20 - people who have been

there before, will be around $5 less.

March 8th, Laura Kolker (our Secretary) is having a piano recital in the

Staller Center. No charge. Please come!

The ICON Science Fiction Convention at Stony Brook- March 27th-29th (if

you are planning on volunteering for something and haven't done it yet,

I would imagine that you should do it now). More info availible at

XTREME FORUM PART 2 **White Water Rafting** April 5th (Sunday after

ICON) It's in the Pocanos, Lehigh River Gorge. The trip down the river

will take about 4 1/2 hours. Bring a packed lunch, and an extra set of

clothes. Wet suits will be available to rent for $10. Our check in

time is at 10:55a.m. - so we will leave from the Forum at 7:30 a.m. or

you can meet us there. The website for the place we are going is

http://www.wcrafting.com/ and it has directions on how to drive. IF YOU

PLAN ON GOING, I NEED $31.00 BEFORE MARCH 31ST!!! This is open to

anyone who wants to go with the Science Fiction Forum (as all of our

events are). I encourage people from ICON, Animated Perspectives, D6

Gaming Club, LGBTA, Roth Pond Regatta, 3TV and any other clubs

listening, to tell their groups, and their friends and come with us! :)

So long, and thanks for all the fish ;)
