Minutes, 10 October 1993
Recorded by Chris Exner

---------------------------------------------------

	First off, I'd just like to apologise to those people who missed
the meeting because of lack of announcement.  Apparently the computers
crashed and the meeting announcement didn't reach all the names on the
mailing list...
	That being said, I present to you the minutes of the
aforementioned meeting.  This and subsequent minutes will be filed in the
HRSFA account (~HRSFA).  Ask Matt Duhan if this interests you.

			Minutes 10/10/93

			Location: Emerson 108

Meeting is called to order.  There is a noticeable absence of
frosh, at least partially due to the crash of the HUSC computers
and, by proxy, the HRSFA mailing list.

Sydney gives his Fusion harangue, again extolling those river
people to deliver the magazine.

SIG Reports then occur, as they are not voted on and it is hoped
that more people will show up:

	- Mystery Science Theater 3000 (henceforth MST3K): Two movies
were watched, including "Fugitive Alien" and something involving a
fire-breathing dump truck.

	- BBC met in Cabot House, and traded in an old Doctor for a new
one.

	- Star Trek has been meeting in frenzied watching of the new
season of shows.

	- Ars Magica met.  Three people suffered burns as the Flame of
Incompetence was passed to a new generation of characters.

	- Harn World met.

	- BearMeatWorld met, and produced the quote of the meeting (see
below).

	- Milk & Cookies SIG will start up soon, if we read the
entrails correctly.

	- Some HRSFAns went to the 3rd 1st annual IgNobel Prize Awards.

	- The Collecting Money from People Who Owe HRSFA SIG was
disbanded.


Library business was discussed, and it was decided to sell
copies of books from the book swap which are in excess of a
predefined, sane amount.

Movie -- HRSFA is financing an IGP showing of the Princess Bride
in exchange for 75% of the net.  The vote was unanimous, with
the exception of Charles Keckler.  The showing is on the weekend
of Nov. 11; HRSFA is providing all the $$, while IGP provides
the movie slot and postering fanaticism.

A Budget was discussed and passed.  It includes funding for the
Gaming SIG, Library, Cultural Events, Comics, and Office
Improvements.

The MST3K SIG announced a public relations coup: on the weekend
of Oct 22, there will be shown on the big screen in Boylston
Auditorium the two transition episodes of Mystery Science
Theater 3000, wherein Joel is replaced as the host.  Comedy
Central is paying for the room, projectionist, film, posters,
banners, free MST3K memorabilia, and advertisements in the
Crimson.  People are expected from distant places.  Hopefully,
the army will be called in to contain this before it spreads...

Proposed SIGs - Filk (bizarre Sci-Fi music) and T.V. Show. 
Random discussion.

The Munchies SIG convenes with gusto.
