Club Corner


ASME

First off, I would like to thank the 4000 people or so who expressed interest in attending the Martin Marietta tour. Unfortunately, they have contacted us and would like a tour representing "all majors" not just ME's and underclassmen are preferred. So to make a long story short, there is a very limited amount of space for the tour, which will be from 8:00-4:30 on February 15th (Wednesday). All those who are still interested, e-mail joey@wpi. BUT we will still be having tours for Bird and Sons, Polaroid a nd Samuel Adams (not all this term necessarily). Next term we will try to have an ME Martin Marietta tour, so all those who e-mailed me, keep that in mind. I have received only one entry for an ASME T-shirt. Once again, come up with t-shirt design, put it on a piece of paper (draw it in pen, no colors, they will be added later) and send it to ASME Box #841. The winner gets a free shirt, $25, and the satisfaction of knowing that his/her shirt is being worn by millions. Our annual papers contest is being he ld on March 21st. Basically, it is a chance for ME's to present their MQP's to selected faculty members. There is food, prizes and it may qualify as your dept. presentation. Abstracts (of your project) should be sent to ASME Box 841 by February 21. Five a bstracts will be chosen for the presentation. More about this in the future. Once again, new officers for the positions of President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary are open. Information about the tours will be e-mailed to you (dates, times, org anization) and don't forget about the t-shirt contest. Look for information on our social to be held on February 7 with a few of the other societies.....


Asian Society Club

How is everyone doing? Hope you all doing great! ASC had our first general meeting last Monday. For your information, here are the issues we discussed:

1) ASC T-Shirt design is already done! Yes, finally!! For those of you who saw the design last week, I think you will agree with me that it is awesome!! It has a tiger on the Asian Map for the back of the T-Shirt and "Asian Society Club" on the front. We will have SIX colors on the T-Shirt, it will be the best T-Shirt you have. So order one NOW!

2) Second is about the ASC Yearbook. Yes, we, the editors are already working on it. We are accepting all kinds of pictures from now until the end of C term. So hurry, hand in the pictures you want to be included in the ASC Yearbook! They can be baby pict ures, family pictures, fun pictures... any kind of pictures you like! The Yearbook will cost $5 for ASC members and we are expecting it to be finished before the end of D term. So order NOW! We will need $2 for deposit if you want the Yearbook. You can ha nd in the pictures to one of the following persons: Sharon Ng, Box#2892; Michael, Box#3325; Heri Sumantri, Box#?; Jimmy Pai, Box#? (You can find out thier Box# from the ASC Directory).

3) Also during the meeting, they were talking about a ski trip last weekend. If those guys actually did go, hope it was fun!

That's all for the week! Any questions e-mail to asians@wpi. Any questions regarding to Sports, please e-mail to Take or you can also e-mail to asians@wpi. and our Sport Coordinator Take will reply your mail ASAP! If you have anything want to share with all members, you can e-mail the message to ruiling@wpi. we will have the message published in next week's Newspeak. Bye for now! ASC Officers

BiLAGA

Hello everyone... How ya' all doin? This is just a friendly reminder that we still exist! Please, come on over to the meeting Wednesday night because we miss you. The last meeting we threw around a few ideas, but they're things that the officers alone really shouldn't have to decide. So, to all you old members who haven't been to a meeting in a while, we would love to have you show up. That goes for any newcomers, too. We'll meet in the wedge (that garden of Eden in disguise) a little before 8pm We dnesday, and then head out (continuing the Eden metaphor). Hope to see you then! Adieu...


Black Student Union

Attention all BSU members this is just a quick reminder about the meeting on Wednesday at 6:30 in Morgan C. We will be discussing all of our C term activities and anything else you would like to accomplish this year. Please come with plenty of Fund Rais ing ideas and any suggestions for activities that we can do for the remainder of the year. We would like to have a Bowling Night, a Movie Night and a Party this term. We would also like your input about any weekend trips that you might be interested in taking. This would include places like New York City or Boston for special events or just for fun.

Peace and hope to see you there.


Christian Bible Fellowship

Yes, I am still here. For any of you who didn't see the Club Corner last week, don't worry there wasn't one! Well then, welcome to this wonderful week.. There are a lot of exciting things going on in CBF this week. Bible studies are rockin' and rollin ' all week long and on Wed at 7pm, Prayer and Share will be getting underway in Morgan A. Friday, FNF, will be a great time of fellowship and fun starting at 6:57:23pm (7pm) in Morgan A. Hope to see you there! Oh yeah, and we cannot forget Saturday morn ing Sports! 10:30am in front of Alumni Gym.

Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness." (John 8:12 NIV) Have you ever felt like you were in the "dark" about something and had no idea what was going on, or even if there was purpose to any of it? A c ouple of years ago, I was with my family visiting the Olentangy Indian Caverns in Ohio. At one point the guide turned off all of the lights and it became totally black. I couldn't see anything, not even a glimpse of light. (Quite a few of you probably have experienced this same thing.) Then the guy in front of me shines his little watch light and the whole cave is illuminated! That is what Jesus is showing us here. He is that light. A light that will never fade. The light of the world! Pretty po werful stuff, huh? He promises us that if we follow Him, we will never walk in darkness. Are you ready to be lead out of the darkness? Jesus is ready to lead you..


German Club

This is for all students who are in any way associated with Germany, and can speak German or just wish to hear spoken German. Another Stammtisch will be held this coming Friday, Feb. 3, in Gompei's from 12 to 1.

The previous Stammtisch was a success! Thanks to all of you who participated. It turned out to be a lot of fun. The agenda for the coming Stammtisch will be German Club elections. Nominations will be taken for offices, and elections will be held the f ollowing week. If you have any interest in running for office, would like to see one of your fellow German Club members in office, or if you have ideas for future German Club activities, come to this week's Stammtisch and let your German speaking voice b e heard. Plus, it's nice to have lunch with friends!

That is it for this week. Hope to see you all in Gompei's!


ISC

Alright, we're back this week with yet another new, exciting episode of Newspeak! Alright, now I'm gonna try something new....I'm going to tell you almost nothing about what's happening at ISC and hope that we'll see even more new faces to add to our imp ressive roster of International Student Club members. The meeting is going to be this Wednesday at 4:30 pm at Morgan C....Don't worry, we won't run too long so as to let you miss Daka - we all know how that is such an important part of our daily schedules ! Don't forget, we've got many things lined up and should be rolling out any time soon, so don't miss out on anything. Show up, participate and let's all have a roarin' good time! CIAO!


Lens and Lights

For those of you who have been asleep all C-term, you missed round one of nominations last week. The nominees for the 1995 LnL Executive Board are as follows:

President: Dan Martins, Matthew Moniz, and Nathan Towne-Smith; Vice-Pres: Greg Marr and Nathan Towne-Smith; Technical Director: Steve Richardson; Head Projectionist: Chris Mangiarelli and Jon Stewart; Secretary: Gregory Murphy and Craig Hansen; Treasurer: Rob Caputo and Theo Van Dinter

Congrats to all the nominees. Nominations will re-open at tomorrow's meeting at 4:30PM in AK232, followed by speeches and elections. If you wish to be nominated for an office and you don't want to nominate yourself, e-mail an officer and you will be nom inated.

Also, congrats to Michelle V. on her recent activation... yet another female LnLer to carry on the line - I'm so proud!

Events coming soon to a WPI (what's that stand for again?) campus near you: The Winter Carnival (snicker, guffaw), MW Rep and Masque shows, The Key Toss (can we buy the sledge hammer before that? PLEASE???), lots of films and coffeehouses (see SocComm - *plug*), and Spring Break, but not soon enough!

BTW- is sledge hammer one word or two? ispell(TM) likes both.... anyone?.... bueller? "Say, are they going to do it Before Sunrise?" "Not till Reel Five..." "Dear Holy Cross, This movie sucks. Have fun. From: WPI."

(note: if the above did not make any sense to you, you are either no longer an active member of LnL, you never were an active member of LnL, or you just don't get much of anything - don't worry about it, 'cause it's very late, and I am tired)

National Society of Pershing Rifles

Here I am again, writing up our little section so you can get all of that useful information that you already know. I am off to an FTX right after I write this so it will be short and sweet. We got a few prospective members at the informational meeting, but not enough. Members, go out there and recruit, give out those bids, just bring them in. Tomorrow will probably be another informational meeting if we can get enough new faces down there. Anyway, keep bringing in those new people, we need to keep t his troop on top...where it belongs.


Pathways

PATHWAYS@WPI.EDU

(BE) part (OF) the (GRAND) illusion. ** The condiments are free **

SUBMIT to PATHWAYS by February 1, 1995. ** Forget what you heard **

B/W Art, Photography. ** Hammers without nails are paperweights **

Short stories, Poetry. ** Donkeys without legs are unpleasant **

Where just one of our mottos is "Good work doesn't have to come from good people." ** Give us your work we will give you our souls **

DISCLAIMER:

Pathways should not be taken internally. It will not grow hair, mend fences, walk dogs, or enhance your performance in the pursuit of love or money. It is fruitless, senseless, pointless, worthless; but, it is not more so than we. Meetings are Thursday at 8 pm in the Pathways office in the basement of Riley (next to Newspeak). We will be your friend no when no one else will, we will watch your cat while you're away.

APPENDIX B:

We could bribe you, we could threaten you, we could kill you. But none of that would bring out the part of you we want to see. Begging doesn't seem to work... Every year same old thing, ask for submissions, ask for submissions, ask the nice people for their nice submissions. And every year lethargy and apathy hide more work than comes forward. You have a good shot at being published. You've probably got whatever you are thinking about submitting already written, sitting somewhere. It requires littl e effort, it takes little time. Here's your chance...


Newman Club

Update of the week: the house managers are already starting to complain about all the dinners coming up. In fact, if you volunteered to participate in Appalachia Worcester, Father's hosting a dinner on Thursday at 5:30PM. Freshman dinners are rolling agai n. Officers are welcome to stop in for those as well.

For those of you that attend the 6pm mass, we will be having ice cream this Sunday. Be sure to eat a little before hand so you don't eat us out of house and home. Also, thanks to everyone's help at the Superbowl Pray Sunday! We had a great time.

Things to look forward to: Winter Carnival (yeah!), Retreat (planning meetings start soon), and homemade spaghetti sauce on February 15th. For now, enjoy this week!
