Check out this site : www.unti-

I quote: "Apply by submitting all required information to membership@untitled.com. You should already know what informa- tion is needed. If you don't - please do not try, or ask. Thank you."

We here at the Cadre are offering

some lousy prize to be decided upon later submitted to us as to what this site is all about by the next issue. We will offer a less lousy prize to anyone who untangles the mystery for us, but we don't expect that to ge so why bother planning for it?

such as what does it mean to be human? Are emotions what separates man from intelligent machine? What if the machine could duplicate those same emotions? A short, but worthwhile read.

Book: Contact Author: Carl Sagan — By: Jonathan Smith

I can hear the groans already, but hear me out. Though the movie was met with less than spectacular box office suc- cess, the novel upon which it was based _

~ nevertheless shines as a great sci-fi novel __ stuffed with lots of philosophical tidbits. _ The renowned and unfortunately deceased

astronomer Carl Sagan has left us with a story about a young scientist who has _ voted her life to detecting and decoding signals from space and 1 the event actually —
