Why doesn't anyone want this position? It carries with it such authority and prestige! In addition to that you get to write Newspeak every single weekend! I thought I was through, but guess I was wrong. I got stuck with this great position again.At least this week I don't have to make up stuff to write. This week I will talk about the election and the homepage competition winners. Goody! Our new president for the year 1996 to 1997 will be Foo Kwan. The Vice President will be the Happy-Go-Lucky Charlie. The Position of Secretary will be held by Joan Lock. The position of treasurer goes to Angela Yau. The SC for next year will be Eric Toledo. And finally the Almighty Historian will be Christopher Look. Congrats to everyone!
Another thing people voted for at the last meeting was the member of the year. I'm sure you guys all know this, but the person voted member of this year is Yukiko Ishii. This is a very prestigious award given by the CSA to recognize member who has gone beyond the call of duty, in helping out the club. So why she got it? I have no idea! Just kidding! Really I swear! She is obviously very deserving of this award and I congratulate her!
Time for the infamous homepage competition results. I think I'm just going to cut to the chase and list the winners. The best homepage had five winners. 1st place: Foo Kwan (new Prez!) 2nd Place: Chris Look (new and current Historian!) 3rd Place: Pedro and Nick (Two guys!) 4th or 5th place by drawing: Yu Ching Chang (A Girl!). The Most creative was Leo Liu (that creative guy in my cs classes!) Congratulations once again to everybody.
That's all I have time for, Gotta submit this before 4:30. See ya around!
Christian Bible Fellowship
I feel like saying, "Another week has passed...", but that is what I say every week. Saying it that way makes it seem as though nothing out of the usual has happened. But, in fact, something very special happened this week. Something of astronomical proportions. We "lived" and another week has passed. How could we survive? Why were we allowed to live, and gather together? Like for instance on Friday night for a time of fellowship and worship at FNF at 7:00pm in Morgan A? Or Saturday morning for a fun time playing sports at 10:30 in front on Alumni?We live and are able to enjoy that because Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and He rose again. "There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you.'" Matthew 28:2-7 (NIV).
Lens and Lights
Back again. EBN is so intense! Everyone who didn't go missed a really good time. We have to get that podium. The class of '97 podium. For those of you who weren't there, their "podium" had trackspots, strobes, revolving red lights, and laser beams on one side of the "arms," while on the other side there were televisions. You had to see it. Hopefully we will be asked to do more there. They seemed to like us.This weekend was hellish. I don't think I want to stay awake any more. Could someone please make it stop! Back to the Future! Yeah. This is being written Fri. so I'm gonna hope that by Tuesday we made money on this film. Anyone sick of them yet?
We're all getting psyched up for Quadfest! Steve is putting together a list of people who will be working the event and their positions. If you'd like to be involved and get a super nifty ID badge, e-mail him. He'll be more than happy to put you on the list. We're also having our fall picnic after strike. If you want to come, you must help strike everything off the Quad first. Otherwise we'll put you in our new tower roadcases. Yes! we have them! We can't open them, but we have them. The snake is back, too. See you all Wed. at 4:30 in AK 233, or Mon. in Forkey Conference Room (Harrington - it's really cool in there) at 4:30.
Keep the sanity...
Masque
Well, not much has been going on this week... so this will be really short. Listen everyone! Send me mail... fun things that happened to you during the week. I will (probably) put your story in the club corner in addition to the regular corner news. I feel obligated to put something in Newspeak every week, even when there are weeks that nothing exciting is going on. So, come on Kenny! Send me some of your stories! That's all for now. -Jed

Rugby Club
Hey Ruggers, time for another spring season. We opened up the spring on March 23rd against Coast Guard. The battle was hard fought with Coast Guard taking a 7-0 lead late in the first half. We came storming back as Donny took the leather through all fifteen defenders for his first try. Donny you owe us a dance! After that a few tackling errors led to a couple of Coast Guard tries which put the game out of reach. The B side game was well played with numerous rookies playing hard. Special thanks to Sam and Eric the Red (socks and face) for keeping us in the game. George's head is still ringing and the Jester is replacing Tom as the "B" side hooker. The Muff-Diver is back and Gates is not (big surprise huh?). There is a game today versus Worcester State and a game Saturday versus Wentworth. All ruggers must get their voices in shape... "Who can take an electric telephone generator..." Hope to see everyone today and Saturday showing their school spirit. Ball is Good!! Buddha out!
Science Fiction Society
Last weekennd's Star Wars LARP was a riotous success. All weekend the wedge was filled with people role-playing, getting shot, running around, and generally having a grand old time. The Grand Moffs did an excellent job - congratulations!Soon, you may notice many people on campus looking over their shoulders and around corners every now and then. Some people are just normally paranoid, but many will be playing the game off Assassin. If you want to join in the intrigue, email bjh@wpi.edu.
President Mike G. is collecting a list of WPISFS alumni. If you know where any are, email him at mpgalvin@wpi.edu.
