SWIL NEWS	 Volume 6, Number 7 	October n<22, 1983 

Guess what? We have the bigger reserved dining room reserved for us for the next
few weeks. This is because once again we had another round of good attendance.
Present were: Heather Whipple, Jay (he who did a marvelous job on the contents and
index of the filkbook) Scott, Matts Katinsky and Wall, Jack Sutherland, Ed Ervin,
Scott Moore, Michele Gamburd, Jed Shumsky (the birthday boy himself!), Shoshanna
Green (practically interchangeable, those two!!), Ellen Sasse, Alison Knapp, Joe
Ruff, Ben Fulves, Gwen Riles, Esther Oey (vey!!), Ben Felzer, a mysterious
prospective, Scott Schwartz, Sherry, Stefan, and the invisible presence of Barbara
(who typed some of the above), and myself. Next up for amazing privileges are Ben
Fulves, Scott Schwartz, Gwen, Edwin, and Jack. That may have been an attendance
record above there!!! 

Many exciting things were decided at the meeting and since then about the
pterodactyl hunt. Many things are going on which you probably know. Do what what
you should do and do it well. Good luck all of you. Don't blow it. 

We had a good attendance at both showings of _Dark_Star_. Unfortunately Matt Wall
did not make movie committee. I hope that we do succeed in cosponsoring a movie
with movie committee. I am not sure what we are allowed to do with the $100 going
towards that if we don't get one approved. Meanwhile we do have money to get some
movies on our own. Jed has finally received the official budget so we can find out
where we stand monetarily from him. We still need to decide just what movie we
want to propose to movie committee. Are we still happy with the decision of
getting the original _Dracula_ out or our regular movie funds?

I received the SWAPAs in the mail today. If you don't have yours yet come and get 
one. There are two specs for those who are interested. The next collation will be 
at Philcon. Registration for that is $9 until October 31. We still need to 
consolidate arrangements with who is driving and staying where and whatnot, but 
there is time for that I guess. 

There is a file SWIL.NOTICES in the account the name of which explains 
itself. Take a look at it once in a while. Add to it also. Right now it consists of
the following:

ON ALL POSTERS IT MUST BE ADVERTISED THAT THERE ARE PRIZES AVAILABLE TO TEAMS FOR 
THE PTERODACTYL HUNT (or most posters) 

We have exciting new abbreviations in the abbreviations file. To see what they are
type ".l", to add any type ".c abbreviation command" 

I have been periodically spooling copies of the filkbook. You, too, are encouraged to do so if you enter the swil account. 

More ideas of slogans for the t-shirt and just which of the designs are
appreciated. Alison found out a whole bunch of information all of which I have
forgotten. The gist of it is that if we want multi colors we are going to have to
pay a good sum of money and even then we will need lots of buyers. Of course with
the amount of people on the SWILLIST now and some people from SWAPA we might build
up a decent list of interested people to lower the price. 

Oh, yes, even though there was no one actively running against them, Jed and
Shoshanna surprisingly did win the election for who will continue rule of the
madhouse. Now, they can take over doing assorted tasks, such as writing the SWIL
NEWS as soon as they want. We can have an official recognition of the Dynamic Duo
at an appropriate time. We will need a good title for them.
