Club Corner
APO
Hello Oisters and prospective new pledges. Sorry for the problems with the club corner, but the people who were doing the club corner have been sacked and replaced by new people. Aren't multiple personalities great. Anyways, the service committee has been busy this term, with the bike-a-thon the previous weekend, and apple picking and baking this weekend. We made lots of apple... stuff, and gave away lots of stuff. And coming up is a project for Habitat for Humanity on Saturday. I don't have the time, so contact Smiley if you need the time, or come to the meeting. And there was Rush last week. We had many people show interest in joining. So, in order to support them, come to the pledge induction. There will be two, one on Thursday (Yes, this Thursday) at 8 PM, and one on Monday at 7 PM. Please come and support the new pledges. As for fellowship, well, we went bowling Saturday, and there are plans for an ice cream social. In addition, new ideas are welcomed, so if you have them, contact Brain. Well, there are still meetings at 6:30 pm on Monday at Goddard Hall 227, and if you don't come, you will be missing out on some important stuff (like electing a new historian), so come and be heard. Until later.
Autocross
The WPI autocross club will have a meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 2nd in Higgins 118. If you have any interest in building, working on, improving and racing two SCCA B modified race cars, that were designed by WPI students, come on down. The club races on weekends all around New England. We usually win, and most often, we have a good time. See you Wednesday.
BACCHUS
You have the great honor of reading the very first BACCHUS Club Corner of the year! Homecoming last week was loads of fun - once we got going. We got rid of all our drinks, but we still have a lot of 'bees. We'll have to fight for a better spot next year. Hopefully the TKE beach bash went well too. Sandy mocktails are no fun. New offices are though. Alumni: Home Sweet Home. Our next meeting will be on Monday, Oct. 7 at 4:30pm in HL 202 - same room as last time. We will be talking about our Rock-the-Halls or "Rock-the-Halloween" party in B-term. We still have some Rold Golds to munch on. Just don't feed the cat. Long live mocktails!
Christian Bible Fellowship
Well, another week has passed by in our lives again. Take a moment to think back on the past week. Have you been living in the Holy Spirit and listening to what God has been telling you? Give him a chance to speak to you, we could all use His advice more often. The trip to Mt. Monandoc was a great success! It was a beautiful day that brought brothers and sisters in Christ closer together. Meet us on the Quad tomorrow at 3:30 for volleyball. Then come out this Friday night at 7:00 for FNF in the Lower Wedge and join us as we praise God. Saturday morning sports will be at 10:30 in front of Alumni as usual. Bible studies continue this week at their set times. Pray for spiritual wisdom.
"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour... And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. " I Peter 5: 8,10 (NIV). Through God's son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins and rose again, we are saved from the devil and have already won the final victory!! And though we may be devoured by the devil every now and then, God will always "restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." So this week, be on the lookout for the prowling lion everywhere. But if you do get devoured, always remember that Christ is on the way with a stomach pump.
French Circle
This club is for WPI's French speaking community and all those who are interested in French culture. We have things going on this week that might interest you. First of all we are having a party on Friday, Oct. 4th at 8:00 pm. This party is organized by the French Circle, the Deutsch Klub and the Japan Association. The party will be dj'ed by DJ Adrian, Frank and JL. It will be very cool and everyone should come. The price will be $5, $3 with the invites. The latter are available and will be distributed all over the campus during the week. Anyone in the club should contact the president or any of the officers. News update, the French Circle is also investigating on the interest on campus for setting up an exchange program and/or a project center in France. Anyone interested should email french@wpi.edu or come to our meeting which is on Tuesdays at noon at Gompei's. Everyone is invited
International Student Council - ISC
Another week of happenings. The ISC is busy planning and preparing the next ISC Coffee Hour to be held at 6:30pm, on Tuesday, 8th October, in the Higgins House Library, and the next ISC General Meeting - the last one for A term - at 4:30pm, on Wednesday, 9th October in Morgan A.
An issue that we mentioned at the last ISC Meeting was the fact that at the first ISC General Meeting in C term we will have a final copy of the ISC Constitution Committee's proposals on amending the ISC Constitution. What we reminded the attendants at the last meeting is that only people that regularly attend ISC Meetings and events will be eligible to vote on amending the ISC Constitution. This eligibility will also apply for the ISC Officer elections to be held in D term.
More developments include the work started on the B term ISC Calendar of Events which we will have out on the first day of B term. To achieve this we will start distributing forms to International Club officers within the following weeks and we will ask them to fill them in with their clubs' events and meeting details before the end of A term.
Finally, work is in progress on the preparation for the Venetian Masquerade Party that ISC is planning to sponsor at the beginning of B term. The ISC officers and the ISC Publicity Committee have been busy preparing for the party, if any one is interested in helping out with the party or in joining the Publicity Committee contact us at isc@wpi.edu or at http://www.wpi.edu/~isc

Mu Sigma Delta
Hey everyone, We had our first meeting of the year with a great turnout of over 50 students. The officers are really excited about this year's upcoming events for the society. The committees have all begun meeting and have come up with some great ideas. A pizza and movie party is coming up for some fun and relaxation as you all know from reading your medvetnews, so join in the fun and show your support of the activities committee. They are trying to serve you and give you a chance to unwind, so take advantage of it. We also have a speaker coming soon to discuss B lymphocyte development. Stay tuned for more info on this.
Newman Club
Well, our executive committee met for lunch on Wednesday, Sept 25th and planned the events for the monthy of October. They decided to move our October gathering to Sunday, October 13th especially since many felt that our cooks did such a good job last time ,we should have a repeat performance. At our general meeting on Tuesday night of this week, we heard reports on our two new groups, the prayers group and the discussion group. Also we had many volunters who are going to teach in the Religious Education classes at Blessed Sacrament Parish. Our volleyball team is off to a good start by their first two wins and even now we will be starting to recruit anyone that wishes to play on our basketball team. If you want to play, e-mail Jordan Massad at jordanem. The Eucharistic Ministy to the Nursing homes will be starting shortly under the direction of Jeff. Roberts and Correna Atkins. Oh yes, our video and pasta night last Friday went very well. It was a great way to meet people and Jordan had a great choice for the video. Don't forget our litugies are every Sunday at 11:30 am and 6:00pm. Also watch your mail boxes for Fr. S' famous supper invitation. It may be better than DAKA and we have no reports of any deaths yet.
Pathways
Wow, I think I was in diapers last time Pathways had a Club Corner! Hopefully it will be kept up so that you all will have something nice to look at.
We are still trying to straighten things out. Money is hard to come by; offices are a bit easier. We will be sharing our old/new office with the Peddler. A meeting will be scheduled to do some Fall cleaning and get organized. Keep your email eyes open.
Other than that, we'd like to plan some events just to have fun and make the Pathways name known. Wear black and bring a candle. We'll let you know what's up. Keep the dream alive!
Pathways: that bastion of creativity on the forefront of twisted expression.
Ski Team
Another week gone and only three left until A-term break. I hope everybody is out of the shell shock from finals. The weather's getting colder and every morning there's some frost on my car windshield. Soon enough I'll be brushing snow of it, throwing my skis on the rack, And cutting out early to hit the slopes. Dryland has begun and it looks like another rigourous season ahead. Rumor has it we'll be visited by a coach soon. Dryland meets in front of Harrington every day at 4:30 and usually lasts until 5:15. Look for the ski sale to happen the week we return from A-term break. In case you need to overcome a fear of speed before ski season, here's some tips: (1) jump out of a plane 20,000' high, (2) outrun a cop on the Mass Pike, (3) watch how fast you throw this paper away after you pick it up. See you next week
