SWILNEWS Volume 6 Number 16 Feb n<16, 1984 

The meeting began last week as the Weyrleaders ousted their weyrmates from the SWIL
room and sent them to the caverns to avoid threadfall. 

Making their various presences known were Scott M, Gavin, Heather, Matt W, Jack,
Jay, Ellen, Neil, The Weyrleaders, Alison, Irene, and Ed. All of these august
personnages (plus Sherry) were included in the official SWIL photo for the
Halcyon under the banner 'SWIL OR DIE' in Cloisters. 

Gavin and Scott were sworn in as official non-members with voting privileges and
a non-sentience option to the bugling of many dragons. They have also been
elevated in the SWILLIST (What an honor). This involved a major reordering
thereof. There are now 26 official non-members. (two more on leave) and 14
others. 

Dracula was indeed shown in Clothier on that misty Sunday night. About ninety
people attended and it was a pretty good film. By the way, Does anyone know why.
there were two armadillos in Dracula's castle? 

At the meeting, Jed proposed that we open the Tri-College Concert with a
filksing. Amidst no enthusiasm the motion was changed to holding a reading on
March 17 in Lodge 6 at 3:00 pm. No theme was considered but since it will be St.
Patrick's day, how about a green theme (fine by me -sg). 

Heather reported that Donaldson is working on The Last Chronicles of Thomas
Covenant Trilogy. Also Anne McCaffrey is working on sequels to Dinosaur Planet
and Crustal Singer. There may be a Dragonflight movie and/or Saturday morning
cartoon.
