Ned Markosian Time
Anyone who was at the last Club meeting and who is interested in reading more about Time should check out the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on "Time", written by Ned Markosian, who actually was a teacher of both mine and Lukas' and who, as it turns out, is an expert on time. The article on "Being and Becoming in Modern Physics" by Steven Savitt looks interesting too.
Possible corruption?
For all those of us still remaining within the club could it be that one among us is destroying our internal workings? Perhaps instead of wondering who should have the power we should ban together in an attempt to find the perpetrator whom must be refusing entry to our club.

Recently Ousted VP Reinstated, Plans to Speak about Time
In another astonishing turn of events, recently ousted VP of Longwood's Philosophy Club has apparently been reinstated. (Not only could former club secretary Vonthi Musoonyaratglzin not be found for comment, but he could not be found at all.) Perhaps in a not-too-subtle allusion to his recent, yet-to-be-explained absenteeism, VP has announced plans to deliver a "small presentation on Time" at this week's Philosophy Club meeting.

Recently Ousted VP Attempts Counter-Coup, Fails
This afternoon, in an unexpected counter-coup attempt, Longwood Philosophy Club’s recently ousted VP rallied a small but determined band of absentee clubmembers in vicious attack against former secretary Musoonyaratglzin. Musoonyaratglzin’s junta, though far outnumbered by the absentee insurgents, narrowly escaped their doom by holding their ground in their usually meeting place, Ruffner 252. “We know that the insurgents will never set foot in this meeting chamber. They’ll just never come in here. Sure, they have once or twice in the past, but we expect that they just won’t show their miserable faces here again,” said the resolute Musoonyaratglzin from his gurney.
In a statement issued from the cramped confines of the insurgent's bunker, the defiant ex-VP stridently claimed, “I won’t let these consistent attendees take over so easily. Yes, they have taken over the Club. And yes, they come to meetings consistently. But it won’t be so easy. I can wield power and influence in spite of my inexplicable absenteeism! Let’s see how the consistent attendees feel after there’s just one or maybe two of them left! They'll soon learn that simply not showing up for meetings at all is much easier than consistently attending meetings! Fools!”

Philosophy Club VP Ousted Amidst Allegations of Absenteeism and "Rampant Corruption"
Following a day of dramatic protests club members took over the vice presidency of philosophy club at dawn today in a bloodless coup.
"This is a fight by the people who are rejecting the VP’s power," said Vonthi Musoonyaratglzin, former club secretary.
In recent days hordes of angry protesters have accused the club VP of corruption, mismanagement and employing a strong-arm governing style.
"Today, the dictatorship, the immorality, the absenteeism, the arrogance and the fear have ended," Musoonyaratglin said in a speech. "From today, we will restore a club with a government of the people. And our leaders will show up at meetings."
The ousted VP could not be found for comment.
