In the Fall of 1981 the Forum moved up from being a Line Budget club (with a maximum of $500 available in Polity funding) to being a Program club (Max. $3000). Long after the disasters of Brookcon and Mudcon, and the forumites who ran them had graduated, there again arose the thought of holding a SF convention on Campus. Strangely enough, the current forumites learned from the mistakes of the past and worked with two other Program clubs: COCA (the Committee on Cinemagraphic Arts) and SAB (Student Activity Board) speakers. The three Polity clubs joined forces and budgets to bring Gene Roddenberry to speak on campus in a convention setting, with COCA providing the contacts, SAB the guest booking and the Forum the staffing and the operational organization of a con. Given the location on Long Island our event was named I-CON.
