Meeting called to order at 8:34 PM

President’s Report: Firstly, I want to make sure that all of you are eating breakfast because it’s very important to eat breakfast. Secondly, we’re not having meeting next week because of Thanksgiving.

Vice President’s Report (Ian): I’m sure if Jackie was here she would say, “CLEAN, YOU FUCKERS.”

Treasurer’s Report: I got an updated statement from USG detailing what we have spent the money on. It turns out we’ve been paying every month for a phone we haven’t been using. They’re looking into getting us a credit for the months that the phone wasn’t hooked up. … but we now have a working phone, same number as before.

Secretary’s Report: I was doing some cleaning and shelving this past Tuesday and I just want to reiterate: CLEAN UP YOUR SHIT. I found lollipop sticks, a used food plate (under one of the bookshelves!), and a lot of other disgusting stuff.

Librarian’s Report: SHELVE. It’s really helpful. I need it. Like a baby needs a diaper.

AC Report: Bristol County Jr. came in to-day, we’re still waiting on Hercules. We are now declaring war on Phil. I don’t need to make justifications. I’m a tyrant! Festivus is Saturday, December 5th from 12:00 to 6:00. Be here! The ACs are empowering Holly as Forum Mom – I, like many others, have had enough of people’s poor cleaning habits. Seriously, clean your shit or Holly will attack you with a vacuum.

Sub AC for Life: I’M BACK! I’m alive! … and I see we still do not have a video cabinet. I have ordered this month’s movies: “Transformers 2,” the new “Star Trek,” and the 1989 “Batman” movie.

Historian’s Report: A cautionary tale… The Night Crew. Back in the late 1990s (I believe it was 1997), there were a group of Forumites who liked to hang out in the lounge late into the night blasting music (among other things). This caused a lot of disruption for the AMS grad students and it also caused a general degeneration of the Forum’s reputation among other campus clubs because it got us into trouble with the building managers. This shows you how the actions of a small group can affect the reputation of the group as a whole. Don’t do anything to make us look bad on campus!

Supplementary Historian’s Report (Ian): Another entry into the Alternate History timeline… Roman ended his term as librarian with mass love and success and after this he decided to run for president and of course he had the support of all other officers. It was a close race, but in the end Roman won because he was just that great. … and then he gots hit by a truck, because no universe could allow such a thing to happen.

Committees
PR: I miss my [other PR officer].

Fundraising: Hurray for Peter’s hat!

Old Business
Lukas: Would you like to age some business?

Ian: Yes. Old Forumites, let us know if you’re coming to Festivus. We’d like to see you.

New Business
Drow: I had an idea that I wanted to run by you guys. Even though we’re a science fiction club, I think it would also be good if we also had some science fact material. I think it would be nice to have Carl Sagan’s Cosmos Series and the History Channel’s Universe Series.
Ian: We can’t make any more allocations his semester, but we will discuss this for the future.

Announcements
Ian: Happy Birthday, Matt!

Phil: There’s a linguist who taught his son Klingon for the first three years of his life.
Ian: I argue that that’s neglect!

Ian: SPOILER ALERT – God damn you Heroes, stop cockteasing us with the death of Mohinder!

Lukas: New Moon is coming out… so brace yourselves!

Holly: I’m going to be cleaning in the Forum either to-morrow at 11:30 or Tuesday night after D&D.

Pete: If you’re the last one in the Forum at night, tie up the garbage bag and leave it outside the door.
