Hmm... Let's see. Here's what went on for last week. The first meeting of the year was held last Wednesday. For those certain someones that didn't attend (*cough* my roommate *cough* Jack's two roommates *cough*) we basically, went over the current financial situation of the club, the upcoming events we have planned, sports events, and the special tutoring thing we are trying to do. Afterwards, we skipped out on DAKA and had dinner at Peking Wok.
Now that we went over the history, lets go onto the future. The two most immediate events are the welcoming party (sometime next week), and the start of the CSA's new vollyball season (the day after labor day). We're going all the way this year right?! Of course, we are. I'm just filling up space in this article.
Well, I'm hungry and I'm going to lunch, so until next week. I'll still be wondering, "Does anybody read this?"
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:25 (NIV).

On Monday night last week, the Newman Executive Board met and planned the following events for Term A; pasta and movie night on Sept 8th at 5:30 pm in the Religious Center, apple picking on Saturday, Sept ember 16th, a Tie-Dye T Shirt activity on Sept 24 after the 11:30 Mass( since Fr. S does not understand that activity, he will be assigned to do grill the hamburgers that day),freshman dinners on Sept .l3 & 14. and a committee was formed under the leadership of Erin Smith to research either a retreat or day of recollection during Term C. By the way Ryan Abraham and Jim Pavalat are in charge of the Die T Shirt event and that leadership should be something to watch. Newman is trying to field a club basketball team this year and if you are interested , send Jordan Massad know. In the nest few weeks more activities will be announced as various committees are working on their project presently. Hope to see all of you at Pasta and Film night , Sept 8th at 5:30 pm
A: Pathways is a WPI's own creative writing and Arts magazine. We publish original poems, stories, random musings, b&w photography and artwork by members of the WPI community. We hold meetings on Tuesdays in our office, in the basement of Riley Hall. They're supposed to be at 8 pm but sometimes we start a little later so no need to be super punctual. This week we are going to be working on our Web page ( so any of the computer types on our mailing list who missed last week's meeting may want to show up) This will likely be a long process, requiring the creative (and typing skills) of all of us. And it's a great chance to learn html. Jeff wants a coffee table and coffee maker for our office. Anyone interested in donating such items can email us at pathways@wpi. This week's quote from a mysterious source is : "Though for fifteen years you have chaffed me across the table,slept in my arms and fingered my playing heart, I scarcely know you: we have not known each other. For all the fierce and casual contacts, something keeps us apart." For the complete version of this (and author's identity) email us. Info on submitting to us will be coming soon...
Upcoming events will be posted to your mailboxes, and quickly, because we would like you to get into the swing of the eventing season before it's over.
King Richard's Faire! Those of you here last year remember me pulling out my hair trying to get everyone a ride. Well, I'm ready (and stupid enough) to try it again. I've called the Ticket Office, and group tickets will be $12 this year. Please start flooding the SMAS account (realms@wpi) with mail saying you want to go!
Practices are as usual, Monday and Thursday, 7:30 on the Quad.
