SWILNEWS VISIBLE ONCE MORE!!!

Yes, despite the failure of the Invisible Swilnews (trademark pending Deb's approval), which your co-presidents spent many hours on
last week, and which contained TWO special surprise sections, (<---- do you realize that's all a dependent clause?) we have
overcome our disappointment to bring you a brand new, completely visible, and otherwise nifty Swilnews.  However, we remain
somewhat bitter, and will only put in one special surprise section this week (sorry, Laura).

Forecast for weather tonight: Chilly with scattered hobgoblins, and a chance of falling Pterodactyls later in the evening.  Tired
of talking about the weather?  Do something about it!  Make the Pterodactyl fall yourself!  Be at Parrish Parlours at 8:00 to
receive your rolled up newsp-- oops, make that sword and armour.  For further details, see Josh Smith.

If everyone claps real hard, Samuel R. Delaney will come and speak.

Hey Jeff, is there any news in the science fiction world?  If there is, it should probably be in this Swilnews.  Oh well...

The deadline for submissions to the Unnamed But Really Funky Science Fiction Writing Contest is OCTOBER 20TH!!!!!!  Submit entries
to Bhadrika or Jed.  We think you can leave them at the English Department.  Ask Thelma.

up Peter Wong and Brad Gabe.  Who will be next?  Will it be Maeghan Maloney??? Come to the meeting tomorrow to find out!

(By the by, if you have never been to a Swil meeting in your entire life, this will be the last Swilnews you get, unless you (1)
come to a meeting or (2) tell me (Substance, Andy Perry '92, AWP92, Andele, the one with the beard) that you want to keep getting
Swilnews.  If I don't hear from you, you will be deleted from our mailing list, which is rather unmanageably large at the moment.)
