Meeting called to order at 8:03 PM

President’s Report: Welcome to the first meeting of Spring 2009! Minus my hatred for all living things, I’ve been working with various competent and helpful members of USG to get us our new room. We’re going over details and I’ve been hard at work with Lukas (who has been doing an insane amount of work, by the way) how to adequately relocate our space. Current estimates are actually kind of promising. Lukas has taken over the library and this is to our benefit. Lukas won’t be able to attend meetings, but I have nominated him for Librarian regardless.

Vice President’s Report (Ian): Jackie is busy with I-Con… THE TRAITOR! Updates for the 40th Anniversary; I was hoping to have a more concise details but... Aaron has been playing phone tag with Jim Frenkle for the past few weeks. We know for sure that it’s going to be in March (most likely mid-March) and almost certainly a Saturday. I know this doesn’t help those of you who may need to travel, but just keep that time period as open as possible. Moving on; please, clean or Jackie will find you! Thank you to Dave Goldstein for donating a few books.

Treasurer’s Report (Ian): We have $4400 left. Orange and Lukas need to spend more money! We are applying for a grant, so we can get new shelving for the our relocation. However, alumni, if you have a lot of money to burn and are thinking, “What can I do for the Forum for its 40th Anniversary?” that would be one way you could help us out. We’re going to have details very soon about the measurements of our new room and what size shelves would be the best.

Secretary’s Report: Over break, Anthony, Lukas (mostly Lukas!), Potato Boy, and I did a hell of a lot of work getting the library in order. If you haven’t been in there recently, go check it out. You can actually walk around and the table is empty so if you need to do work in there you have space to sit. It’s fantastic.

AC Report: I am your benevolent and cruel AC! (Ian interjects: “Malevolent!”) No! Benevolent AND cruel. I was very tired last semester, but I have gotten a robot to do my breathing for me, so now I am much less tired. However, that means I have a lot of school work to make up for. But I am still running a whole lot of cool stuff during February for Black History Month. Four awesome movie nights, the first of which will be Will Smith Night where we will be showing Hancock, I Am Legend, Independence Day, and more. I’m also planning a Best of Sisko marathon or Red Dwarf if we can get it (Hoskie: “I’ll try to remember to bring Red Dwarf so we don’t have to watch DS9.”). I will spend much money before I am kicked out next week and I need someone to be the new head AC. We also need to fix the cabinet (again!) and keys need to be sorted out.

Sub AC for Life: I got us Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Omega Doom, and Total Recall.

Ian: To-morrow from 9:00 to at least 2:00 there will be Pushing Daisies down here! You’re going to sit here and like it because it’s Bryan Fuller telling us he loves us.

The Void of Librarian Report (Orange): To-morrow we are going to do some cleaning in the library. We have books that have been processed and need to be shelved. People, come help! Further more, the pulps! I need boxes, Staples boxes. They have to be the same size as the ones we already have because they need to stack. And since this hasn’t been much of a problem lately, it is a good time to impose the rule: NO FOOD IN THE LIBRARY.

Historian’s Report (Goth Em): Eric Pirattes First Law of Punitive Appellation: “You fuck up bad, you get a stupid nickname.” (Secretary’s Note: God, I hope I spelled all that right.)

Committees (Ian): The person who we stuck all of our random committees on (Roman!) isn’t currently on campus. I’m not forcing these committees on to anyone else because we have the 40th and the move coming up. If you have an idea for community service or something, that’s great but we’re not going to kill ourselves over it. The semester theme is PRIORITIES.

Advertising (Orange): Advertising still lives! … until… I can’t do it… anymore. We need people to help out with it.

Old Business
Phil: You fuckers! Half of JAM Can was garbage! Don’t put garbage in JAM Can. *rants and raves*

New Business
Orange: I would like to allocate for an amount not to exceed $550 to Amazon.com for DVDs. You can put suggestions in the new Log (there will be a specific page for it). Unanimous vote YES on allocation.

Announcements
Phil: Sam say hi.
Everyone: HI, SAM!

Orange: Clean!

Em: Happy Birthday, AA! Also, if anyone wants cheap tattoos talk to me. I know a place that is doing tattoos for $13.

Hoskie: I has XBOX Live! Be my friend! Add: Prisoner C33 (and send me a message if it is not immediately obvious who you are).

Darryl: I found a DVD of Krull at the Circuit City liquidation!

JC: They announced the new Red Dwarf special!

Ian: We are officially tabling all rants about the Eleventh Doctor until we see how he does.

Vice President: Jackie, The Eleventh Doctor, The Cut-Out of Wall-E

Historian: Goth Em, The Cut-Out of Wall-E

Head AC: Matt Santos

Librarian: Lukas, Paul (“I decline, The Vest accepts!”), The Cut-Out of Boba Fett
