Club Corner
ACM
Hello again! ACM would like to welcome the new members that have joined in the first two terms of this year. We would also like to thank SWE for tolerating our company on Halloween! ACM is ready with some great stuff coming up!
ACM has already been in nano-motion this year! We have held help sessions in CS 1005 and CS 2005. On top of that, we had a programming contest. The talent displayed was terrific! The famous Tutorials will be happening pretty soon, watch out for that. An ACM-Tutorial is anarchy in its most poetic form. STUDENTS TAKE OVER THE LABS AND TEACH OTHER STUDENTS! If you want to attend these, or maybe take over the lab, tell us!
A tee-shirt design contest will be occurring. Enter your computer-theme idea to ACM and put your mark on the chests and backs of WPI. Have fun,.....
I implore ACMers to check their e-mail today for any things that might happen. Also, if you haven't paid the small $5 yearly fee, it is not too late to join in this excellent year ACM is having, thanks to the smart, enthusiastic members.

AIChE
Welcome back for another term of Chemical Engineering heaven. Sorry for slacking in the upkeep of the column but as we seniors know so well, we have devoted our life to Unit Ops. But don't worry seniors, just one lab left, then NO MORE Unit Ops!!! And if you are a junior, we wish you luck next year, all that you have heard about this wonderful class is true, and more.
We have a lot of exciting things planned for this term. This past weekend, six of our terrific officers and members went to San Francisco for the annual national student conference. They had a great time and discovered many ways to help make our club as fun and exciting as it should be. Last Thursday night our environmental committee got together with GAEA and had a meeting for starting a recycling program on campus. They are really trying to get this thing off the ground, so go out of your way to support them and if you're interested in getting involved, they would love the help.
This Friday we have the GUPPY Night planned. It involves a tour of Walthan Polaroid Corporation and dinner at the Sheraton-Tara in Lexington, followed by speeches and an awards presentation. There are going to be several other chapters from the area attending. It will be a great way to meet people and have fun. So come to the meetings and get involved, help to make this a great term in Goddard Hall.
Alpha Phi Omega
Hi all! Well, we've got a busy month of service and fun going here. Tonight and tomorrow (the 15th and 16th) is the servant auction! Thanks to all the brothers who sat in the mailroom and made people sign up. Thanks also, in advance, to everyone who is participating in any way. This Saturday will be a whole fun-filled day of APO activity. We start with raking leaves at the Worcester Children's Friends Society, I hope you all can come. After working, and even if you didn't, there will be a lasagna dinner at Grossi's place starting at 5pm. I hope everyone had fun at conclave, I can't wait to hear about it (of course, ours will be better, right?!).
ASME
Well, here we are again with the weekly "we are having a meeting this week" column. But this week we really are having a meeting. It will be on Wednesday at 7:00pm in a room to be announced. If anything changes, you'll be notified through e-mail. I'll send out some e-mail regarding the exact time and location of the meeting hopefully by the time you read this. I have my first job interview in an hour so other things are on my mind, but let me see if I can remember some of the stuff going on with ASME. As was mentioned in previous ASME columns, we are going to go on a plant tour at Bose. Sue, our secretary co-oped there, so I know she is working hard on getting a tour planned (right Sue?). We could get a tour of NASA from our treasurer Joe but that would mean having to go to Cleveland, so I think that one is out of the picture. Oh yeah, we are currently planning to have a social with the...civil engineers. I would like to personally point out that all jokes relating to civils in past ASME columns were President Dan's. I write the important stuff. Some enterprising civil (formerly an ME though) informed me that civils make a lot of money contrary to the factual salaries published in last week's column. Did you take into account the extra year's tuition civils need to graduate? Not much else going on right now. For of you who don't know, ASME is getting a lounge in Higgins when the construction workers are done smashing things. Check your e-mail and see you at the meeting, where we'll probably have a wide variety of orange-cheese snacks to choose from.
Chinese Student Association
Hello to you, you, you, you, and *don't hide...I see you* you (YES, you). So how is everyone doing?...hope everything is going well with everyone and that no one has frozen yet. Hmm...it DOES seem like we all need to warm up a little...what better way than to play some IM games (or watch some, for that matter). For the people that missed it, we're proud (and happy, of course) to say that we did very well in all our intramural games last week...as usual, slap (actually, a pat would suffice) a player on the back if you happen to run across one.
Hmm...so what's happening besides IM games, you ask?...hmm...now that's a tough question...NOT. As you all should know (since there are a bunch of flyers out, stuff on the system, people selling tickets, etc.), CSA is sponsoring a dinner, "The Night of the Dragons," as it is called, and it should be GREAT! You will get a chance to eat some really good Chinese food (NOT catered by DAKA, mind you) and have a nice relaxing evening filled with 'Chinese entertainment' for only $8.00. Once again, space is limited, so get your ticket(s) now.
Well, besides that little plug there for the dinner (it's gonna be good...so go), I think we just had a fun Scavenger Hunt 'party thingy' last night. Hope everyone that went enjoyed themselves and that no one got lost too badly. If it was good, guess we'll hafta do it again sometime, so for all those that missed it, join us some other time.
Okey-dokey then, it's been a long week, so I'll shut up here and leave ya be. Have a good day (oh, have a good week too, for that matter)! Take care and keep warm now. Later.
P.S. Our cool Sports T-shirt is gonna be out soon so get your money ready.
Christian Bible Fellowship
Hi again! If you have been following any CBF gatherings, you may have noticed a pattern. Prayer and Share is at 7pm in Morgan A on Wednesdays and FNF is at 7pm in Morgan A on Friday nights! For anyone interested in taking a look at the Gospel of John with a few others, there is a study on Tuesday nights at 8:30pm in SL 011. This is a great study if you want to ask questions about the Bible in an open atmosphere. And speaking of Bible studies, I pray that God will continue to bless the time that you have as you look into His word. Speaking of prayer, for anyone who feels that this campus needs prayer and you would like to get involved, there is a prayer walk that takes place every weekday at 7:15am starting from the quad.
"I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." (Philemon 6 NIV) It is often difficult to share the faith that we have in Christ with others. However, if we keep our eyes set on the Lord, He will shine through us. The first step we need to take is being open about what Jesus has done in our lives. With the sharing of our faith we can better understand "every good thing we have in Christ." Are you willing to share with others what Jesus has done in your life? What do you need to surrender to Jesus in order for Him to be revealed more completely in your life?
Hillel
Hi all,
Once again, I have decided to grace the newspaper with a club corner of our very own. This was due, in large part, to Zack "I-STILL- don't-know-what-I-want-to-be-when-I-grow-up boy" Sacks for his wonderfully praising e-mail. Thanks.
Not much went on this week. We had the Rabbi come and visit us again last Tuesday night, though unpublicized as it was. Hey, Karl "The UPS Man" Dicker, give us a little warning next time. On Friday the 4th, a few of us decided to check out Clark again. It was kind of interesting. For those of you familiar with Clark, most of their old board no longer participates. There were many new faces, some of them rather good looking (males and females alike). If there is any interest to return or go for the first time, contact any Hillel officer and we'll see to your transportation.
Until next week, good luck on any exams you might have, and don't forget to stick your tongue out at a random person you see. As always, your stupendous Senior Advisor, Jonathan "Stupor Man" Geller.

National Society of Pershing Rifles
Well, here is my article for this week, so Jewett cannot bug me about missing a week again. Initiation planning, continuing, even with our pathetic number of pledges. Miss Athena Pageant, or what ever it was called: it better have went ok, I was there, but not at the time I am writing this. Veterans' Day: Horrible turn out for the parade, but it went ok other than that rather severe drawback. Flag pole guarding, ooo exciting, yes I know that it was incredibly boring to do, but the least some of you could have done was put in a half an hour out there, it was not that bad, heck, I was out an hour, complain, complain you know how it is. Anyway, it is almost five and I am nearing my deadline so I will hit my last item of business, I am REALLY sorry about what I put in the article last week about the pledges, I do not know what came over me, I swear it will NEVER happen again, you have my word. I also extend my severe regret to anyone who experienced extreme dizziness or blackouts due to my comments on the pledges' progress. To make up for it, here is the following commentary:
Boy, you pledges are doing pathetic!! I have never seen a pledge class that was so completely ate up. I would call you the worst pledge class we have ever had, but it would insult all of our previous pledge classes to call you a pledge class! That is all.
PreMed/Vet Society
Another week has passed and I have a number of things to tell you all! Our club meeting was yesterday and hopefully that cleared up some questions you might have had. In case you missed the meeting, we have a couple of fundraisers planned in the coming weeks. This Thursday, November 17, there will be a 50/50 raffle in Daniels mailroom from 9-4. The cost is $.50/try or 3/$1.00. The way it works is that the winner gets one half of all the money received, and the club gets the other half, so stop by and try you luck! We are also planning a bake sale for Monday November 21 in Daniels mail room from 9-4. All items will be HOMEMADE (nothing disgusting like generic cookies or spam) and can be purchased for POCKET CHANGE!!! Stop by and sample some of the finest baked goodies and give yourselves a break from DAKA desserts! For those of you who missed the speaker from the CDC, they have lots of information on life after WPI in many different areas of study, so take advantage of this resource (3rd floor Boynton Hall). If you are interested in volunteering at an area hospital or clinic but don't know how to get started, or just have a question about something club related, send questions to medvetnews@wpi! I think that is quite enough for now...Have a great week!-guppy
