Discussion:

1. Next Polish movie: "Sami Swoi" on Friday, November 12, 20:00 in RAWL 1011.

2. Dr. Leszek Lilien's idea of creating a committee to respond to anti-Polish
   events and media reports in USA was discussed.  Part of the original email
   from Dr. Lilien (in Polish):

> Czy PSO nie moglo by rozwazyc utworzenia grupy paru osob chetnych do
> reagowania na antypolskie wydarzenia i doniesienia medialne podobne do
> opisanych ponizej? (To niewazne, czy sa zamierzone czy wynikaja z
> ignorancji - umacniaja falsz wsrod "typowych" Amerykanow.)
> Jesli to potrzebne, chetnie sam bede sluzyl pomoca.

   All agreed it was a good idea but no one wanted to take a lead on it.  We
   decided to ask Dr. Lilien if he would like to be PSO representative and write
   and sign the letters related to this matter as PSO representative.  I will
   ask Dr. Lilien if he agrees to this.  Everyone is encouraged to report
   anti-Polish events and media reports on Polish list polska@cs.purdue.edu.

3. Mikolajki party was organized.  It will take place first week of December
   at the Purdue Village Community Center, subject to room availability.  Lilka
   will reserve a room, Patrycja will write email with invitation, I will update
   the webpage and send out the email.  It has to be sent out early to collect
   names and allow sufficient time for buying gifts.  The names will be chosen
   via a lottery, maximum gift price $3.00.
