(formally SWILnews)
Hear ye! Hear ye! Be it known to all SWIL members that Alex Yourke, of Penn's
science fiction organization and the president of said organization whose name is
unknown to me will be visiting us at the SWIL meeting tomorrow. If you want to
have imput in a discussion about ORION, the tentative Penn/Swarthmore/Bryn Mawr/
Haverford fanzine, this is your opportunity.
Official minutes of the unofficial meeting 9/1/80 A.D.
12:17:05 meeting was called to whatever you like.
The first order of business was to decide whether to do any business. A
discussion about the whereabouts of absent SWILers ensued and it was
decided by consensus to do business and keep incomplete notes. (Here the secretary
has made some incoherent scribbles that cannot be produced on the typer, which were
labeled "incomplete notes")
Linda admitted to having an affair with a member of the art department.
Debbie inquired if it was (************) and was elected Director of Affairs. It
was decided to delete the name in brackets from the minutes.
There followed a discussion of furniture arrangement.
Tina announced that Jim wanted to say something. Meryl arrived. Tina
announced that Jim wanted to say something. It turned out he wanted to discuss

minutes from 9/14/80 continued:
The Cordwainer-Byrd (sp?) library in Dupont has had several boxes of donations.
Anybody who wants to drop in and look them over is very welcome.
There was some disorganized conversation about a SWIL radio program - getting
a good pilot, getting two good pilots, using filler commercials, music etc.
One interesting premise is Swats in Space. Ideas flew thickly, like chunky
peanut butter. Sylvia and David will be story editors. Writers please contact
them.
We all abruptly rose and went home.

SWIL radio show so that we can have more time to prepare.
Note of apology: As mentioned above, Our Charismatic and Fearless Leader is out,
of town this weekend, although he will be back for the meeting this Sunday.
Therefore I can take all the blame credit for this issue. (except for the name,
there the blame is spread equally between the two of us.) Please direct all..
complaints (and complements, if any) to me. Thanks,
Jennie Jacobson
Most Electable.
Just so you'll all have a copy even if the student handbook never gets put out:
a long time ago on a campus far, far away there began SWIL; and when they said entropy
always increases, boy, were they right.
(Now we begin our normal paragraph) SWIL is a body of anthropomorphic globules dedi-
cated to the proposition that all fiction is not created equal; science fiction and
fantasy are better. We think. Therefore we are.
Each week we unite to reaffirm our existence. Meetings are called to disorder each
Sunday by Tina (The Hammer) Anderson. We discuss important questions concerning
Truth, God, Death and Liz's meatloaf. Like other cults, we also engage in ritual
activities such as readings and filksings and Sylvia forth (we have no Sallys) to go
to science fiction conventions and present movies.
Occasionally from the event horizon of our collective soul, there emerges Unicorn
Star, our timeless semi-annual publication.
Requirements for voting non-membership are sentience and attendance at three consecu-
tive meetings. Membership is somewhat easier to obtain. (sentience is not obligatory.)
Interested humans contact Jim Huang (fearless and charasmatic leader, enlightened
despot) or Alice Macneal (keeper of the keys to the dungeon). Extraterrestials
contact Bruce Freedburg (interpreter of alien documents) in writing.
Let there be SWIL
