JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFELY IN THE NINETIES!

The Swarthmore Warders of Imaginative Literature (the last one-party dictatorship in Eastern Swarthmore) has announced drastic
changes in its governmental structure, bringing an end (temporarily) to the three-week old dictatorship of Flash and Substance. 
["Say it ain't so!" -- F&S]  Sources say that neither Flash, the Supreme Dictator, nor President-for-Life Substance, will even be
present at the historic SwilCongress (known to the uninitiated as a meeting) to be held in Sharples on Saturday the Tenth.

However, we are pleased to bring to you, direct from their latest night-club engagement in Las Vegas, those golden oldies, Chris,
Laura, and the Guys. (Laura and Chris couldn't make it.  Sorry folks.)  Emceeing will be our ever-capable Minister for Propaganda,
who will be making his first ever appearance since the fall of the Communist Party in Moscow.

And now the Swilnews!  (Complete with a Special Surprise Section at the end!) [We know it didn't get into last week's, but this
time we mean it.]

On Wednesday, February Fourteenth (a day which will live in infamy), Al Capone and his gang will once again wipe out those wacky,
crazy, gravy-sucking pigs.  See Sally Carter for details.  In other business, A committee [no!  not a committee! -- F&S] will be
formed to prepare the Contest!  This, by the way, will be a sf&f writing contest, paid for by the Swil Endowment.  Names will be
taken.  Meeting times will be set.  [Someone tell us about it when we get back.  -- F&S]  In other business, SUBMIT TO BEM!  Come
up with Swilshirt ideas (and tell them to Jeff).  Think film and speaker budget.  Have a nice day.

Attendance, by popular demand!  [The list, that is -- F&S]  February 3, 1990: Jessica "oh boy oh boy I get 2 B first" Hines
[Actually, as co-presidents, we have the right, but we're nice.  Besides, she asked. -- F&S], Josh "Cthulhu destroyed my hometown
and all I got was this crummy T-shirt" Smith, Fran "its _not_ a dead rat fur" Altvater, Bruce "Fun with Cthulu!" Hahne [All
spellings taken directly from list.  We mean no disrespect to potentially violent Elder Gods. -- F&S], Sally "There will be a
Massacre, and it will be _good_" Carter, Peter "Watch out Tierra del Fuego is Burning" Wagner [Huh? -- F&S], Deb "Okay, this is the
last thing about (in)visibility.  I promise" Holtzman, John Hancock, Topher "Wheoww budda-budda" Le Roy, Josh "aigh!" Mackay-Smith,
Nao "There were _eight_ SWAPAns in one room at once last night!  wow.", Appreciatrix [and who doesn't? -- F&S], David "Kumquat
Haagendaasz" Randall, Shmoo the Conquerer.  Also Flash.  Also Substance.

By the way: Idea for science fiction story: Aliens send mind-altering space ray that results in the collapse of one of the two
major governmental systems of the world, and the dissolution of the last remaining empire.  What do you think?

			Skate the desks and surf to breathe!
