Club Corner

Alpha Phi Omega

Hello, OIsters, and only one and a half weeks left until the end of the term. I know, don't talk about finals. Anyways, last week was a week of record breakers. UMOC was completed last Friday, and the SVP, probably through sheer luck, has made at least $400 dollars off of it, with more still begin counted. This is $100 over any other total collected for the contest, at least according to the SVP. And the final tally of pledges are in....34. Yes, we are going to need a bigger room. This is also the largest pledge class ever...I think. Contact me if there was a larger one.

Anyways, back to the business for next week. In service, the first group for CPR has already gone last Saturday, but the next group is scheduled for the Saturday, so if you are in the next group, remember to go. For all of the new pledges, reminder that the pledge meeting is at 9:00PM Sunday (but you should already know this), and there is planned a Big-Little Game Show Type Contest for sometime this or next week (hopefully not is a broom closet or normal classroom.) As for fellowship, there is a dance planned for D term, and if you have any ideas call Brian (Sorry, nothing long ranged planned left for C term.)

And remember, GH227, 6:30PM, be there or else. Bye.

BiLAGA

Hi, folks.. A short club corner because I really need to eat lunch and I really don't have much to say. Apologies for not doing a club corner for the past week or so, but.. hey, it's C-term.. you understand. So we have more of a library now, hopefully the new titles will be on our homepage soon (http://www.wpi.edu/~bilaga). Clark conference (a Big Deal thing) is coming up fast, if you are interested in going and want more info, let us know whether-or-not you think you can afford it. As always we are here for anyone who has questions (or answers) and can be contaced at bilaga@wpi.edu or snail mailed at BiLAGA c/o WPI Student Activities Office. Membership is confidential, we have an electronic mailing list, etc. etc. Meeting Thursday! Ask us questions, that's what we're here for.

Chinese Student Association

Hey! Guess What? That's Right! CSA's Annual Chinese New Year Dinner should be today. That is if today is Monday the 19th. So How many tickets did we sell? From my estimate, I believe that we have sold about 120 something tickets. See the problem is, I'm writing this article now, which is Friday the 16th, so I have to predict the future. My predictions tell me though, that it will be very close to a full house at the party and that it should go according to plan. That is, everyone will be enjoying their money's worth. Hey, for eight bucks, that's fairly cheap, considering the type of food and entertainment available. So what type of entertainment? Well, I predict that the CSA will have some form of martial arts exhibit, and maybe some singing, and most definitely chinese folk dances.

Also another thing that is in need of mentioning, is the homepage competition. I have not been on the net lately, but I hope that you guys have been working on your pages. Remember the judging starts after the 19th so,....... well you get the picture.

Also I would like to say that if anyone has any ideas about what the CSA could do, it would be a really good idea to tell us. I mean sometimes it is hard to do something that everybody likes. If we got input on some of the interests you guys might have, then we can better plan activities to suit your interests. Another thing is that, lately I guess everybody has been really busy (with this whole dinner thing and classes to worry about) and I don't know what I want to say. Uhm... I guess I'll just see you guys next week. Bye Bye.

Christian Bible Fellowship

Hello brothers and sisters. How has your week been going? I know mine has been filled to the brim with "preparing for the end of the term work." Come to think of it, my entire term has been busy like that. Maybe it is just my lack of discipline in focusing on Jesus.

Come and join us to focus on Him as a group on Friday night for fellowship at 7:00, in Morgan A. Sports will also be this weekend, Saturday morning at 10:30 in front of Alumni. Have you not heard? The retreat at the end of the term will be to Vermont for a weekend spent with our brothers and sisters and our God.

"Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." Ephesians 5:15-17 (NIV). What is wisdom as Paul uses it in these verses? Wisdom is knowing God's will and carrying it out. With the Spirit living in us, we are being shown God's will all of the time. He is making us wise one step at a time. Are we always listening and moving toward Him? I challenge each of you to strive to better listen to what God is trying to tell you out of His love for you. One way of doing this is to devote yourself to Him in everything you do. This is achieved by constanty focusing on Jesus not only as your Lord, but also as your closest friend and brother.

Indian Student Organization

Namaskaar. It has been a great week for all of us in the ISO. The new council members are doing an excellent job for the ISO with utmost enthusiasm. There are going to be new events in terms C and D and a lot of other events are taking place of which we shall mention in just a moment.

Firstly, and foremost, let us take this oppertunity to welcome back Mrs. Ira Vaidya (Deshpande??) and Vaishal Kapadia who have just got married this summer and have returned with their respective partners. We wish them a very happily married life.

Back to our news - we have the world cup cricket coming up. If interested, you could watch the games as well for just $20. If interested send mail to ISO@wpi.edu. There shall be a Garba dance coming up soon for which a lot of arrangements are being made. This is going to be the years greatest event and we urge all of you cool guys out there to make it to the Garba... you can't afford to miss out on it. There is also a Holi dance hosted by one of the WPI students Neeta Jain. We hope to see you guys there.

Finally, Prakash and Ajoy are doing good for the ISO too. They have won their first playoff of their table tennis intramurals having defeated CSA. We wish them good luck too and hope they can bring home victory.

That is all for this week. Read our column every week and find out all the cool events that the ISO is hosting. See you later.

Lens and Lights

Hopefully this week's edition will be a little more sane. thenagain, maybe not. I really have no idea what I was smoking last week, but I want some more. Anyway, Cyrano is well under way, come out and see it sometime. It's really good.

I would like to welcome the new officers who have been in office for a week now. Tom, got your keys yet? Thanks to those who have helped me through the last week. As you know if you went to the meeting Wed., I am crew chief for the stress event. Anyway, see you all on Wed. at 4:30 in AK232.

Newman Club

With this edition of Newspeak, we have released our press notice concerning Newman Madness which is our Appalachia In Worcester Project. Ryan Abraham volunteered his services at our Executive Board Meeting two weeks ago so that he would be the first on the list. However we must admit that Ryan is just one of the great examples of how our group is always willing to serve others. See the press release in the other section of this edition and then sign up. We will have Club Election of Officers this weekend. We had a great vigil party in honor of St. Valentine and for the first time this year our cook actually "ran out" of food for the event. This time he made Roger his line chef which really means that Roger did most of the cooking. Father S. found out that the Home Improvement Show was a comedy and not an actual show on how to fix things. We have to find ways to update our clergy. Thanks to Kathy A. we have the opportunity to view "When Harry Met Sally." Don't forget that Newman sponsors Mass every night Monday thru Thursday at 10:00 pm and on Fridays at 12:00 (noon) during Lent when school is in session.

Sailing Club

Hello everyone! This column will be short today since it is just an advertisement for our meeting this afternoon. Our first meeting of the season will be tonight (Tuesday) at 4:30 in Salisbury Labs room 121. We will discuss PE credit and our plans for D-term. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to come who either knows how to sail or would like to learn, bring your friends! In closing, I would like to relate to you what the first three laws of thermodynamics really say: 1. You can win, lose, or break even. 2. You can't win, you can only break even. 3. You can't break even. http://www.wpi.edu/~sailing
