      Society
      held
      its
      first
     
     
      meeting
      of
      the
      year.
      We
      were
      rather
     
     
      disappointed
      at
      the
      low
      turn
      out
      after
      all
     
     
      of
      our
      advertising
      across
      campus.
      We
     
     
      held
      our
      executive
      elections
      despite
      the
     
     
      small
      numbers
      and
      elected
      James
      Kirk
      as
     
     
      president,
      Mr.
      Spock
      as
      vice-president,
     
     
      and
      Minnie
      Mouse
      as
      secretary/treasurer.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Next
      week,
      we
      plan
      to
      start
      preparations
     
     
      for
      the
      W.X.Y.Z.
      conference
      to
      be
      held
      on
     
     
      Mars.
      There
      may
      still
      be
      some
      openings
     
     
      so
      if
      you
      are
      interested,
      come
      to
      the
      next
     
     
      meeting
      and
      sign
      up.
      We
      are
      not
      sure
      of
     
    
   
   
    
     
      the
      room
      yet,
      so
      keep
      a
      watch
      out
      for
     
     
      posters.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Of
      course,
      we
      are
      always
      looking
      for
      new
     
     
      members
      who
      are
      interested
      in
      Science
     
     
      Fiction,
      especially
      Trekies,
      so
      if
      you
      fit
     
     
      that
      category,
      join
      us

      next
      meeting.
