Last week's meetings went off without a hitch! We discussed many future plans including the date of our B-term open meeting, which is Dec. 13th from 6pm on in the Lower Wedge. Pizza, movies, and socializing will be on the agenda. We have also begun planning an all-consortium dance for D-term. We have tentatively scheduled it for March 28th in Riley Commons. This week's meetings are Tuesday lunch from 11:30-1:00 in Gompei's and Thursday at 8 in the Wedge. Stop by and visit us. Last Friday a group of us traveled over to Quinnsigamond Community College to view panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It was an amazing experience! We urge everyone to see this wonderful piece of folk art! If you want to become involved with the AIDS Memorial Quilt, check out the NAMES Project online at http://www.aidsquilt.org/. Send questions and comments to us at bilaga@wpi.edu or visit our site at www.wpi.edu/~bilaga.

Elections were this past Monday, so we're looking forward to welcoming in our next executive officers soon! Also, in the past week we've had Peter Mulvey, Lewis Black, and "Loser"...

Pathways

The one and only literary magazine of WPI returns for vengeance and it's after you, you and your poems, songs, stories, jokes, limericks, photos, sketches, doodles, and really witty C++ documentation. You write it, draw it, quick render it ... we put it in print. Extended deadline, Friday the 8th day of December. Send to Pathways@wpi.edu


Glee Club

Great job at Smith, guys! Between this weekend's Christmas Vespers and the Coronation Anthems with Wells last month, we've established some strong ties with other colleges. I hope all of you have enjoyed our relationships with these schools, as well.

We have one more performance this term, and that's this coming weekend. On Sunday the 10th at 3:00 PM, we and the rest of the WPI Music Association will be presenting a Christmas Concert & Vespers.

We will have rehearsals this week and next week, with our last meeting of the millenium on Thursday the 14th. Rehearsals resume in C-term on Thursday, January 11th, the first day of classes, as we prepare the King David for our tour to Ireland!

Remember to pass in your tour deposits to the Humanities Office. See you this week and next week, then have a good break!
