Club Corner


Alpha Phi Omega

Hey again all you OI-sters!! What is new in APO-land??? First off, a big THANK YOU goes out to Chris and Sean for the CPR training this weekend!! Now we will be able to SAVE LIVES!! Great job on all those who passed!!!

Next--CONCLAVE!!!! If you plan on going to conclave give your money to Dave ASAP!! For you pledges who don't know what conclave is, any brother will be happy to talk to you about it. And if you are interested in helping, I'm sure John (qasama@wpi) would LOVE it...Don't forget that the pledges have to serve on one committee, and the conclave committee should be lots of fun!

Well...I guess that's about it for this week...Pledges, keep getting those sigs....Don't worry if the brothers give you a hard time, they will cave in and sign your book eventually......

Till next time....


ASME

Well this is the last ASME club corner thing of the term and based on the response to the last few, I wonder if anyone reads these things. ANYWAY once again I will state that we are having a Papers Contest. Send me an abstract of your MQP by the end of this term (ASME BOX 841). The five best (hopefully there will be five) present their MQP's on March 21 to several WPI faculty members and the best win cash prizes and move on to Regionals. Good practice for your real MQP presentation and may actually qualify for it as well. Send in those abstracts, less than a page please. Re-stating the obvious fact that anything the civils can do, ME's (and most everyone else) can do better, how about coming up with a design for an ASME T-shirt. Every other organization has one and considering the number of ME's here, I think it would be a pretty cool idea. Send in design ideas to ASME BOX 841. And as all good things must come to an end, at the beginning of next term, with alot of pizza, we will be having officer elections. Free food, a great chance to improve your resume and actually do something at this school, are reasons for attending this meeting. I will be sending out those mass mailings that everyone seems to love regarding the time of this meeting. That's about it for this week, get your abstracts and t-shirt designs in and have a cool spring break, one more term to go....


Christian Bible Fellowship

Here we are at the end of C term! But wait, there is still something happening in these last few days. First, I believe prayer and share will be on as usual in Morgan A at 7pm on Wednesday. Every term I've been here at WPI, this final prayer and share is always a real special blessing, as we take a one hour break from study and are able to encourage one another before break and the last tests of the term. And less than 24 hours later, we are taking off for a retreat to Vermont! Meet on the Institute Rd. side of the wedge at 6pm Thursday if you are going. If you haven't signed up yet, there is probably still time, but I'd call someone soon...

Some spiritual food for thought over break ... "[give] ... Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I." (Isaiah 58:6-9). The portion I summed up as "give" (vs. 6-7) is giving in the manner Jesus explained in Matthew 6:2-4: "... but when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." And that reward is outlined so clearly in the passage quoted from Isaiah!


ISC

Well, these are the last few days of the term and we know what everybody has to put up with. Personally, I've got to sit through a three hour lab after my last exam on Thursday. Therefore, I guess it's valid to pass on a round of good luck to everybody who is reading this!

There's not much to say about the ISC activities because it was mentioned in detail last week. However, I do want to remind everybody that there is going to be Culture Night in D term for all to enjoy. Beyond that, there's also going to be a social for all the members of ISC. I also want to pass out a note to all member clubs of ISC : Please approach either Manuel or Tom Thomsen with the finalized ideas for Culture night and discuss the progress being made. We appreciate and thank all the clubs for the strong participation you have shown - Keep up the good work! This goes out to all the rest of the members out there as well!

On a final note, I want to wish everybody a safe spring break - go out and enjoy yourselves. But don't do anything I wouldn't do - for clarification on those, please contact me ... Anyways, take care, and say hi to everybody from ISC (International Student Club)...looking forward to seeing you next term.


Lens and Lights

Well, looks like President Nate is 1 for 2 with club corners...

Hi! It's your friendly neighborhood ex-president coming to you live from the Newspeak office! Things have been going pretty well recently, with the new exec board taking right over. In case you haven't been keeping up with the news, here's what's going on:

There will be (as usual) a meeting this Wednesday at 4:30 in AK 232.

It seems, according to the almighty TD, that we need some new truss, as most of our old truss is ... well... not very safe. No biggie - hopefully we'll be hooking up with the collapsible stuff (box truss is a wee bit too expensive for us at this point, especially since we didn't budget for it)

That's pretty much it! Congratulations to the crew of Fahrenheit 451 for a great show. Coming next term: NV 1-3 and (yup, you guessed it) QUADFEST 1995!!!!


Mu Sigma Delta

Hey all, another week, another corner. Nominations have closed for officers! The meeting will be the first Monday in D-term, time and place to be announced later and not here because no would know about it! We had a speaker come in yesterday, I think, and he/she must have been pretty good or else they would have cut this part out. Anyway, the word for this week is taint. why? ask Birdy. I use it when I say "tainted love" but now I get laughed at when I mention it? Does everyone know that MCAT applications are in? Pick one up in Jill's office if you haven't already. Did anyone else hear what Newt said? No, not the "bitch" scandal, but the giraffe thing. It was horrible, he said something to the effect of "we should go out and hunt giraffes"! I am outraged! I sent him email, venting my anger. Just like a politician grrr. Anyway, hope you all have a great break and good luck on exams!-guppy


Society of Medieval Arts and Sciences

Item the First: The Book has been cut up into singular pages, wrapped in protective plastic and placed in a binder. (This is the Book of Garb Patterns we bought a couple weeks ago.) If you want to flip through the book, and find a couple patterns you'd like to copy, ask an officer, tell us which patterns and give us a little money to photocopy them for you. This way, none of the pages will become missing or lost. (Believe me, this happened to one book of patterns.)

Item the Second: We will know by now whether or not there will be an event THIS Saturday in Harrington. We'll mail out over SMAS to tell you to be there or not. We need a few NPC's.

Item the Third: We have reserved the Lower Wedge for this Thursday. This will be a stress relieval practice after all your finals have been done.

Item the Fourth: Practices as usual: 7:30. Meet in the Wedge.
