    \topic{President's Remarks} 
    Chad invited everyone to his Xmas party, to be held Wednesday
    December 16th, at Chad's house from 5pm until later

    \topic{Discussion}

    There was a considerable and lengthy discussion on a wide variety
    of subjects. Some notable statements:

    \begin{itemize}
    \item Scientism is belief in the universal applicability of the
      scientific method and approach, and the view that empirical
      science constitutes the most ``authoritative'' worldview or the
      most valuable part of human learning - to the exclusion of other
      viewpoints.
    \item Hawking: Philosophy is dead
    \item Politcal systems cannot be based on science
    \item Richard Dawkins vs Mary Midgley
    \item Revelations: The world is ending
    \item Betty Bowers - America's best Christian
    \end{itemize}

    Much more was said, but little was written down.  Sorry.
    
    \topic{Conclusion}
    The meeting was adjourned at 6:00pm
