American Society of Mechanical Engineers
I'd like to send out one HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that made the ME/ASME Canoe race and BBQ a tremendous success. So many people were very important in making this event run as smoothly and successfully as it did. Thank you to Prof. Douglas Walcerz for coordinating and supplying all the materials needed for the canoe race. Thank yous to Prof. Hermanson, ASME Faculty Advisor, my fellow ASME officers, Josh Binder, Cindy Mitchell, and Jon Stewart, Bob Taylor for supplying the BBQ grille (and cheese), Neil Norum of University Relations for picture coverage, Worcester Telegram and Gazette, EMS, Plant Services, Prof. Noori and the entire ME faculty for their support, and a very special thank you to the new President of WPI, Edward Parrish, for attending. And of course, to everyone that attended, THANK YOU! If this is a reflection of what the year is to bring, I can't wait to plan the next event! Remember to pick up a membership application from Prof. Hermanson's office if you are not already a member of ASME. Thank you again!

BiLAGA
Bisexual, Lesbian, and Gay Alliance at WPI. Well, our first meeting went pretty well, but we'll have more to discuss Wednesday night when we will know more about the dance. Also, nominations for office will be open soon, and although they will be handled over e-mail, it would be good to get some discussion going. Finally, we have new, k-rad kewl possibility for a speaker we might want to host, and this is another thing we need to run by everyone before we run ahead and do it, so everyone PLEASE show up. Remember, Wednesday: 8pm, e-mail BiLAGA if you need more info!
Chinese Student Association
Welcome guys and gals to another edition of the CSA's club corner. This one will have to be short, as there are many things to be done in terms of projects. Well, this week we will have our annual welcome party, the time and place may still be tentative but email will be sent out to all members. Everyone should come to this year's party, because,.... well just because it is the cool thing to do. One more thing that I would like to touch upon is the upcoming CSA newsletter. For those of you who don't know, it is the bi-quaterly (when possible) newsletter for our club. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to email to dragon. I guess that's all I have to say about that. How many people read this? Well that's it, see ya next week.
Christian Bible Fellowship
Hello all. CBF went to the beach last week, and I believe all who went had a great time. Don't worry though, the A-term fun isn't over yet. Look for info at FNF on the Mt. Monadnock trip. Friday Night Fellowship will be Friday (surprise) at 7:00pm in the Lower Wedge. Come for a great time of praise and fellowship. Or, come to Prayer and Share (Tuesday, 8:00pm, Morgan A) and give your worries and joys to the Lord in prayer with others. Saturday morning at 10:30am, in front of Alumni, come one, come all for sports. What sport you ask? Why none other than the one we decide to play on Sat. morning. Are you busier than you can ever remember being? Too many things to do, and not enough time? Keep going, and don't worry. Try to make good decisions about what to do, and what not to do. Ask the Lord for help. He will help us. When I get bogged down, I sometimes need to remember what things I should do. The Bible says, "Do everything in love." I Cor. 16:14 (NIV). When I try and live by this, it makes things go better. I challenge you to keep this verse in mind as you go about your days work, and try and to choose activities based upon it.
Club Soccer
Well, it's the beginning of another year and that means another season of club soccer. Turnouts have been very good so far, and should continue, barring any nature walks, right Chad? The battle rages on between Chad and Steve as to their significant others. As of right now, my scorecard has Chad winning, 4-2. But the season is early, and Steve has time to catch up. I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to play MIT on their obstacle course. A word to the wise for the freshman, watch out for those pesky manhole covers. Catch you on the pitch......
ISC
Howdy folks, this is the first edition of the club corner for this new academic year by ISC(International Student Council). For starters, the International Orientation went great this year. As a further note, the freshmen class really impressed me - way to go guys! It's hard to find a group with that much enthusiasm and energy.
This is going to be a great year. We've already had a trip to Rutland State Park and one to Boston. We're tackling many, many issues on campus as well. The upcoming year is going to be extremely fun filled and interesting. Our first meeting had a most wonderful turnout and I hope everybody continues to give us that sort of support. Our next meeting is at Morgan A, next Wed.(not this coming one) at 4:30. It shouldn't last more than one hour either.
This is just a short version of our club corner so tune in for more information next week. Before I sign off, I just want to extend another welcome back to everybody and hope everyone will continue to give their support to us.
If anybody doesn't know yet, the ISC is going to be led by the skills of Jimmy Pai as President, Pedro Soriano as Vice-President and Sashe Kanapathi as Secretary. Good luck guys. Let's rock this year!
Lens and Lights
Well, here it is, the first Newspeak article for the year. I'd like to welcome all the freshmen. You guys seem to have a lot of psyche... Keep it up! (You won't pass Apathy 101, but I'll be happy.) I hope you all like my new wardrobe for meetings. Maybe I'll start wearing it to events as well... not! (For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, come to a meeting. They are Wed. @5:00 pm in AK 232.) The movie on the quad went well, except for a mistake that those darn professionals made. After Sat. hopefully everything will be back up and running, or at least most of it, anyway. We will be having a training event on the 23rd of Sept. As of right now, Cardboard Bob will be playing for us, so keep an eye out for that. Well, that about does it for me. See you all on Wed.!
Masque
Greetings and Welcome to the Wonderful World of Drama. Somebody please berate me for missing the past couple weeks. Much is going on this A term and every producer is in need of help to make things run smoothly. New Voices 27/2 is coming Sept. 22nd at 7pm in Alden. For info email lissa@wpi. Auditions for Henry V are coming soon, so prepare those scenes from Shakespeare! For info email danarchy@wpi. Clyde Unity Theatre is coming all the way from Edinburgh on tour for a special presentation. For info email dibble@wpi. Speaking of Edinburgh, Susan Vick is planning a trip there for August 1996 for their drama festival. She's taking resrvations now, so email svick@wpi today! Chain Link Fence Improvisational Comedy Troupe is back and badder than ever. Open rehearsals are Thursdays and Sundays. All are welcome! For times and info, email dibble@wpi. And of course, Masque meeting Friday at 4:30pm in the room behind Alden stage. Be There! We promise we won't bite.
Pathways
Quincy did it. That mysterious artwork found Thursday is no longer unclaimed. Unfortunately there isn't an intriguing tale to its placement. Oh well. We should probably all get into poster making mode pretty soon so we can let people know about us. If you're reading this wondering what the heck club this is, we're Pathways. The creative magazine people. So if you like to draw or write or get out your frustrations in interesting ways email us, pathways@wpi. If you're Jeff or Bryan, we're probably meeting Thursday, but since this comes out on Tuesday, you'll know on Monday and anything I say here is totally redundant.
Society of Medieval Arts and Sciences
Let's have more people mail in their requests for KRF tickets. They're only $12, you know, and you get to spend all day at a real medieval fair, with cool things to buy and jousts to watch and comedy acts and singing acts and a King and Queen and all kinds of wonderful stuff!
Who wants to go to Higgins Armory? Raise your hands!
Practices also look good, as I said before. Keep going, because, weird as it sounds, the more you die, the better you get! They are, as usual, Mondays and Thursdays at 7:30 on the Quad.
