Club Corner


APO

Hello, OIsters and pledges, and now for an important announcement...

THE DANCE-A-THON IS HERE. Yes, this Saturday, March 29, we are holding the dance-a-thon for MS in Alumni Gym. Twelve hours of dancing, from the twilight near 5 PM to the early break of dawn at 5 AM. There will be four live bands, including Gepetto, Orion, and Plaid Donut. And there will be lots to eat and drink. Did I mention the prizes, well now I did. So be there.

And now, after that, we need help to set up the lights and the four bands. It will begin at 10 PM in Alumni, and go on until...until its done, or 5 PM, which ever is earlier. So please come, we need your help. For more information contact Smiley.

The pledges had their Fellowship Project last Saturday. The dinner was great, and so were the events. The first pledge class sport was also played, but that's a late game. The Pledge Service project will be on March 31st at Treasure Valley, a camp. We will be cleaning up the place, making it livable for the campers. It should be fun.

Fellowship, Brain is doing more spontaneous stuff, and he has also planned several more things, including a Softball Team, going to a Red Sox game, and possibly a Magic Fundraiser.

Meetings, Pledges, what Jodi e-mails you, Brothers, Monday, GH227, 6:30 PM.

Chinese Student Association

Hey Cheer Up everybody! Only one million days before the end of classes! True this may seem like a long time, but time flies when you are having fun. For example, I started writing this at 3:50 and guess what? Well,... It's still 3:50. But the point is... The point is to make school seem like a big game, because when you make a game out of something it becomes enjoyable!

Elections are coming up. On this Monday, the 25th we will be electing new officers for the positions of President, Vice President, Treasurer, Sports Coordinator, and Historian. What happened to the secretary? Uh.. yeah, what happened to the secretary? Well, the President gets to appoint the secretary. (The new president that is) Why? Yeah, why? I don't know, that's just the way it has always been, and because we aren't a bunch of radicals we won't change it. So in light of that, please remember to attend that very important meeting on Monday.

The final thing I would like to note, is the homepage competition. If you guys read this on Sunday, then you still have a chance to vote. If you guys read this on Monday, then you guys can still vote. Ha Ha Ha just kidding! You can't vote anymore! You are doomed to face the rest of your lives knowing that you didn't contribute to the Glorious CSA Homepage Competition Extravaganza!

That's it. I am finished. Remember whoever gets the position of Historian has to write this bul... oops I mean this brilliant masterpiece of an article. Look I didn't kiss anyone's butt! You'll still give me a ride home right Eric??!!


Christian Bible Fellowship

Another week has passed, and with it endless opportunities to serve the Lord. Did you take advantage of these, or did you shrug the Lord's work off for your earthly duties? It is too hard to go it alone. There are many people out there that can help and that desire to help.

Join us. Come to Friday Night Fellowship this Friday in Morgan A at 7:00pm. This is a time of praise and singing and fellowship. Also this week, as usual, sports will be Saturday morning at 10:30, meet in front of Alumni.

This week, just a verse for your consideration. None of my words, none of my strings. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2 (NIV).


ISC

Our apologies! There was a typo on last week's ISC column. The ISC meeting was on Wednesday, March 20, not April 20. We hope that didn't cause any confusion. If you missed the meeting the next meeting is scheduled for April 3rd. We hope there will be a larger turnout.

Forms for the Cultural Festival, which is between 10:00am and 2:00 pm, Saturday, April 13, have been all collected. There has been very good response to this year's festival, which is going to be in Harrington Hall.

A draft of the 1996 ISC survey was released at the last meeting, for feedback. The final draft of the survey should come out soon, and the ISC urges all international students to complete one, so that are able to serve international students at WPI as best as we can.

Final decisions on the volleyball haven't been made, so anybody that is interested in participating should contact the ISC or attend the next meeting.

The format of a petition for financial aid still hasn't been decided on, and we would appreciate if everyone that can come to the next ISC meeting can contribute some ideas, which will make the petition successful.

That is all for this week's column! If anyone has anything to contribute please contact the ISC at isc@wpi.edu, the ISC Web page at http://www.wpi.edu/~isc.


Lens and Lights

Another week, another loss. BCG is the ongoing strike. Thanks to the blacklights, everyone got nice and suntanned at the show. Thank goodness my headache went away. I hope everyone had fun. Denny's three times in four nights! Yikes! You'd think I'd know the manager personally by now.

Well, one bit of business. The exec meetings are now located in Forkey Conference Room, which is located under the bleachers on street level in Harrington Auditorium. The time is the same, 4:30pm on Mondays. It's a really cool room. Everyone should come and lounge... ahhh... I mean discuss.

Well, get psyched for Quadfest! It's not far away now. We will have just about every piece of equipment out on the quad, so come and help. Also, we have our Back to the Future series coming up. We will need many TSS and projection crews, so plan on being there. See you all at the meeting in AK233 on Wed. at 4:30. COme, because we have hell weekend coming up.

Keep the sanity...


Masque

Hi all! This week's club corner is going to be a very special one. "Why," you ask? I'll tell you why. This weeks club corner will contain two separate instances of me groveling, apologizing, pleading and generally performing in a reconciliating manner. In all the excitement of last week's corner, I some how managed to omit two words that resulted in an embarrassing error. *grin* So, to remedy the situation, let's all get out our trusty, handy-dandy writing implements and our own personal copy of last week's Newspeak, and lets fix it together. Everyone ready now? Ok, write in the words "plus two." "Where," do you ask? Right after the words "NV 1-2." There. All better.

Now that that is over with, we can get on to the next topic of groveling. The on-line cast list. As it turns out, by the time I found out what all the cast lists were, pretty much everyone else knew as well. So, in light of this fact, and that most everyone should have had at least one rehearsal already (if you haven't... time to worry), I am abandoning the idea of compiling an all inclusive list.

New Voices 14 is well under way. Some of us may have rehearsal every @#!$ing day. I know I said last week's corner was the last to have rhyme. But I think that I've decided to do it every single time.

...ok... I go hide now... -Jed


Pre-Law Society

Hey, sorry it's been awhile but there hasn't been much to talk about. MEETING TOMORROW (Wednesday) at 4:30 in the Social Science conference room. We will be discussing the speaker (see below) and things to do this term. Bill Hennessey has agreed to visit and speak to us on April 9. Here is a little bio on him: William O. Hennesse Director, Graduate Programs and Professor of Law, A.B. Brown University, Ph.D. University of Michigan, J.D. Franklin Pierce Law Center. In addition to teaching courses in intellectual property and international law, Professor Hennessey, a patent lawyer, administers several of the Law Center's intellectual property programs - including the Master of Intellectual Property (MIP), Intellectual Property Diploma and the Intellectual Property Summer Institute (IPSI).

Don't forget MEETING TOMORROW AT 4:30!!!! See you there!!


Science Fiction Society

Well, here we are again. Lots of great stuff is still happening soon - when will those officers quit?!

The Star Wars live role-playing game is definitely going to happen this weekend, says Grand Moff Mike Caprio. If you see a bunch of wierdos running around the wedge, you will know what you are missing.

Arms Dealer Ben Holt has almost finished his extended rules for assassin. The basic idea will be clans, with clan leaders, all running around trying to kill the rest of the clans. He has come up with different types of weapons to use, available from the arms dealer. You will get the names of your targets - but who has your name? Assassin will be run some time in early April, and will be open to the entire campus.

Another mutliplayer Descent game! Happened last Saturday. It was pretty short notice - but everyone who went to the meeting knew! Don't miss out on anything else - show up at this week's meeting, Wednesday 7 p.m. in Olin 107.
