The Dark Side of Oz will play at 7PM and 10PM on Thursday. We paid Swank $700 for the rights to show the Wizard of Oz.  William M. will be working on advertising.  Ideas for having advertisement during the All-Nighter were discussed.

 

New Business: The Michigan Tech Arts Festival will be either at the end of March or beginning of April.  The group sponsoring on the festival asked that we generate a few cool art/foreign movie ideas.  It was decided that helping this group with the festival would help get our name out.  It was also motioned (and passed) that Craig be allotted $200 dollars to purchase a Toshiba DVD player from Rex for the new analog to digital card addition.
