Minutes, 18 February 1996
Recorded by Susan Marie Groppi, mailed to hrsfa-announce 19 February

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

Just to get my first-ever HRSFA minutes off to a good start, I'm going to 
present them in non-chronological order and start with the election 
results. 

HRSFA's New Officers:

Co-chairs:	Kyle Niedzwiecki
		Alexei Tymoczko
     "Do we really want two co-chairs no one can spell the last name of?"
External Sec.:	Aaron Mandel
Internal Sec.:	Susan Groppi
Treasurer:	Chris Hall

For a variety of reasons, the election of the Editor-in-Chief (as well as 
all non-constitutional positions) will be held at the next meeting.  
Congratulations to all new HRSFA officers, eternal gratitude and thanks 
to the outgoing officers.


Now back to our regularly scheduled Minutes.

Saturday, 18 February 1996, Sever 110
-------------------------------------

Does anyone have access to a good microphone for the Masq?

Movie showing-- Twelve Monkeys
		19 and 20 April
		8pm and 10pm
		Science Center C
	Cost: $2 for HRSFAns, $3 for everyone else.

H-R Republican Alliance has offered to sell us their movie slot for 
spring semester.  We're not sure how much this would cost us or if it's 
even allowed, or even when the slot is.  If we go through with it, the 
movie shown would be Goldeneye.  We are currently awaiting more 
information from the HRRA and we're not sure if we want to go through the 
bother of dealing with two movie slots, but the group sentiment appeared 
to be "More Money is a Good Thing".

T-Shirt: very few people showed up to the meeting, Rose is probably 
designing the T-Shirt but designs and suggestions are still welcome.  
Contact Alden if interested.

The Masquerade: Saturday 24 February, 9pm, Lowell JCR

MASQ POSTERING: very very important.  Alden has the posters, the Masq is 
this coming Saturday, we need to poster.  Posters are taken down Monday 
and Thursday early-mornings, so poster Monday and Thursday late-mornings 
for maximum poster visibility.  Postering Suggestions: put posters in 
upper corners of kiosks because they're less likely to be postered over.  
If you have to poster over someone, be sure to tape your poster well to 
theirs (so that if they later rip yours down, theirs comes with it).  
Clear packing tape tends to be better than masking tape for postering.

HRSFA money allocation policy review: the preferred method is to ask at the 
annual budget meeting.  The lately-more-common method is to ask at a 
meeting and have your request voted on.  Under No Circumstances is money 
to be given out without one of these forms of group approval.

Possibility of large-scale Milk and Cookies Extravaganza discussed.  Due 
to thesis due dates, it would best be after theses are due, probably 
around the beginning of reading period.  

Writer's SIG will be meeting Monday nights.  They realize that this is 
opposite Dean's new Queen and Country campaign--email Cristella if you 
have any serious objections to this time slot.

This week in the Cool Movie PSIG: Repo Man.  Reputed to have a scene 
where Zil Lyon's third cousin twice removed appears on screen while 
Emilio Estevez has his pants down.  Or something like that. 

Elections commenced at this point.  After (and probably during) elections 
we confused large numbers of high school debaters and then adjourned to 
the Greenhouse to eat the munchies.
