Date: Mon, 20 Dec 1993 17:03:44 -0500 To: _swat.org.swil @ cc.swarthmore.edu From: jthorpe1 @ cc.swarthmore.edu Subject: SWILnews #13/SWILnews the last Oh, how the years have just fled by. This is the last SWILnews you will ever receive from the Once and Future Presidents, not to mention the last SWILnews for 1993. Unfortunately, we didn't actually have any business at the meeting, so I'll just mention a few things that bear thinking about: The Reunion invitations are, even as I write, being sent to all and sundry (those of you within the sound of my e-mail may get yours in a more electron-rich and less wood-pulpy form). Set aside Easter weekend for a visit from a host of dinosaurs; we'll make Jurassic Park look like a big Spielberg movie based on a book by Michael Crichton! George will be moved to Tarble 312 the week we get back, assuming Jim ever gets the key. Plan on spending a few minutes helping out, if you'd like... Our new presidents will be placed gently into office on the first Saturday after classes start--I believe that is the 22 of January. We will sing filks and eat food and just have a bang-up, gosh-whiz time. Come Juan, come Al. Babylon 5 will be starting up very soon after we return from break; in some areas, the first broadcast is on January 19th. I'll be showing the pilot just before the first episode, and you're all invited... There will be NO Prisoner episodes over winter break. Patrick McGoohan is sulking after losing the SWIL elections. Normal broadcast will resume after the first meeting of next semester. ATTENDANCE for 12:18:93 Kendra "Boy, the things I could tell you about Colin..." Eshleman [Don't get too cocky, dear...I could put that tissue thing in the SWILnews. :)= --O]; Kathy "third Saturday in a row that I've woken up before 9AM" Davis; Beth "too sleepy to say much of anything worthwhile" Bruch; Lesley "Aaaaaaaa (Physics.English.Yick.)" Tsina (Ban the hat); Elizabeth "Boy the things I could tell you about Elizabeth..." Christian; Justin the autocorrelator Giacoletti; Josh "recycled quote not" Burdick; Robert "I wanna..." Richardson; Charles "Danforths do NOT ______" X. [Yes, they do. I've SEEN them. --O]; Colin "Yellow!" Schatz; Lyndsley "Just stopping by briefly" Wilkerson [Who IS that? --O]; Larry "Abu Ja Far" Miller [Half a denarii for an ex-leper? --O]; Don "Dandan" Lehr Well, that is all. It's been a delight serving as your furless (except for this one patch under my right knee) co-leader for the last two years; my thanks to Aaron for his occasional help, and to everyone else for not impeaching me when I spent the movie budget on Magic cards. (Or didn't I mention that?) I'll see most of you next semester, and some of you at the reunion; until then, vivite longe et florite, et vires vobiscum. ----Praefecti Quondam Praefectique Futuri
