Club Corner


ASCE

Thanks to all who made it to the meeting last Thursday. This should be an active year for WPI ASCE. Per popular consensus, we will be having meetings on the first Monday of every month, both to do general business and to listen to a guest lecturer. The first meeting will be Monday, Oct. 2 at 6:00 in a location to be announced. The lecture will appeal to a variety of civil engineering specialties. Also, the egg drop is happening on Friday at 4:30 in the Mac Lab. Bring your own creation to support an egg as it is dropped out a second story window. The only restriction is that the egg must fit through the window! Prizes will be awarded for the most creative solutions. And, just what everyone likes to hear, free pizza will be served!! See you there!


Christian Bible Fellowship

Fall is coming quickly. The leaves are starting to change color. The landscape around us is starting to take on a new beauty that changes with each day. Enjoy it. Praise the Lord. Give Him thanks for it.

Join us Friday night in Morgan A at 7:00pm for Friday Night Fellowship, Saturday morning at 10:30am in front of Alumni for sports, and Tuesday evening in Morgan A at 8:00pm for a time of Prayer and Share.

"See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." Hebrews 3:12-13. (NIV) This verse from Hebrews says quite a lot, and it is fairly self-explanatory. I challenge you to hear these words and try to live by them. Don't be critical of others' mistakes, but concentrate on the good in them. May the Peace of God be with you.


CSA

Okay, here it is again, your favorite weekly column, "CSA CLUB CORNER!" You know, this is the happiest time of the week for me. Just sitting at my desk, with all of my homework complete, nothing to do but write this awesome article.

Nothing much happened this week, I suppose all of the sports are going on as usual, but unfortunately I have no clue as to what any of the outcomes are. I know, I know, It's horrible that I'm not up to date on this stuff, but hey-things just come up and you can't do anything about that. I suppose that I could report on how the CSA Club picture was taken last week, but that would be just too boring. The first issue of "The Dragon" newsletter should be coming out this week or weekend. I'm not sure when, but somehow I'm involved and I need to get some stuff done for it.

In closing, I would like to say that It's been wonderful writing this week's article and a pleasure to be part of such a fine club as the CSA. Why am I kissing up? Is it correct for me to use this article for my personal use? I'm so confused, I'm going to sleep. Good night everybody, see you next week!


ISC

Hey there guys! How is school going for you after one month into the term? Well, don't study too much, it's bad for your health. Instead, you can put some of your time into something interesting, something that will provide you satisfaction for the rest of the year, something that invokes your deepest sentiments and feelings... yes!, you are right! we are talking about attending an ISC meeting!

Ok, ok, we know that the meeting is only in two weeks and you need something to do in the meanwhile....Hence we've come up with the perfect escape: The WWW ISC Homepage! It's awesome..so awesome that Pedro went twenty minutes late to his exam, having been engrossed in it. Poor Pedro, but that's the sort of commitment that an ISC officer is subjected to. Since you are already wondering HOW to read our page, here is the address: http://www.wpi.edu/~isc

The last meeting we had, as was anticipated, rocked! (but Antonio, Sabrina and Eric missed it) Anyway, there is lots of stuff that's getting done. For example, we have a committee working on getting better phone rates for international phone calls. We have discussed keeping a lot of the buildings open over the breaks and weekends. The Special Student Status is being worked on by the WPI administration. There's tons and tons more. Looking ahead to next term, you should be looking forward to the first ever ISC bowling league and the acclaimed ISC International Dinner. What will we come up with next?

So, what is this we hear? Prakash has been dethroned as the Table Tennis maestro by the puny freshman, Ajoy? What is this world coming to? We don't know the answer to that question but we do know that this article is approaching its happy ending. Till next week, go check us out in the World Wide Web. Ciao.


Math Club

Dear Friends of Math Club,

The Math Club officers would like to express our sincere appreciations to everyone who made the Annual Fall Math Club Cookout a success. Our total attendance was close to 40 people, including approximately 10 freshman! We hope that Math Club activities in the future will be as successful; with your support, they can.

Special thanks goes to all those who helped provide prizes: WPI Bookstore, Tech Pizza, Friendly's, MIT Museum Shop, Al Bums, Boston Museum of Science, the Office of Acedemic Advising, and our very own WPI Math Dept. Without these contributors, many of our activities for this year would not be possible due to lack of funds.

Thanks again,

Nathan Gibson, Secretary


Rugby

Rugby Team 1-0

Hey Ruggers! With the ever increasing fan turnout this season, up 50% to 6 people, it seems right that we have something in Newspeak too... just to be a little crazy. The Rugby team opened the season beating last year's D-3 champ Tufts 9-0. I personally thought the team was a little wet behind the ears going into the game, since our only opposition previous was a social with the mighty AGD. The game started out slowly, and the outcome was still up in the air until about 10 minutes left when Eddie cleaned a pound of dirt out of his mouth and converted a 30 meter penalty kick, ending the scoring. Actually Ed was responsible for all nine points going 3 for 3 in kicks. Other highlights include Isaiah tackling like he was in the NFL, and the Scrummies with their ever present (yet sometimes slow and a little late) support. Let's hope the mighty train known only as the W.P.I. Rugby Team keeps rolling this Saturday against Framingham St. I know many a Rugger will be M.I.A. Sunday morning... because they'll be in Church, of course


SOMA

For those of you who missed the activities fair, the Society of Martial Arts is now in full swing. There are beginner classes, which teach a variety of styles, Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30-9pm in Founders and intermediate/advanced classes Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at the same time. The intermediate/advanced classes will be dedicated to one of the six or so styles available. The type of class will depend on the availability of the instructors. A daily reminder is sent out stating the particulars. SOMA also offers testing and intramural tournaments.

Aside from the pain, SOMA also offers exciting events such as pub-shows, socials, seminars, and our annual breakathon.

So if your interested in Martial Arts, need a good stress reliever, or just like to hit things, e-mail soma@wpi.
