Club Corner


Alpha Phi Omega

Well, OIsters and pledges, last week was very interesting. We inducted a whole new bunch of pledges on Monday night, while Thursday we did stuff. Anyways, Apple picking was was very fun, as was the baking and the bowling. Oh yeah, don't forget Habitat for Humanity last Saturday.

Anyways, what is going on for the rest of the term. Well, There is Mustard Seed on October 13 (Don't worry, it's a Sunday). And there is the planning for the slav..oops, I mean servent auction, which is happening in B Term. As for our friendly fellowship VP, there are plans for a halloween costume/murder mystery party on November 1 (Yes, I know it's after halloween, but it is also the only close Friday). And he will be having an ice cream social on November 22.

Oh, I forgot to mention, there are sectionals in UM-Farmington, ME from November 1 to November 3, so if you want to go, contact Craig. And you can always go to Nationals, all you need is some money to get to Phoenix, which will probably have warmer weather over New Year's than Worcester will.

As a last note, please come to the brother meetings on Monday at 6:30pm in GH227. Mike really wants to get a new historian to replace him so he can do what he wants to do.


Christian Bible Fellowship

Hello once again everyone. With the change of seasons at hand, take a moment to ponder the fact that the same God who is changing the leaves into beautiful shades of colors is working daily in us changing our hearts. Humbling thought isn't it ?

Join us this Friday night at 7:00 for Friday Night Fellowship as we praise God for all the changes is making in each of us, together as brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ. Saturday morning sports will meet at 10:30 in front of Alumni as usual. We'll also be playing volleyball again this Wednesday at 3:30, weather permitting. The Holy Spirit is already working wonders in our Bible studies. Pray for continued spiritual growth and understanding this week.

" He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you ? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. " Micah 6:8 (NIV). This verse pretty much sums it all up. God has shown us what is good through our own hearts and through his word, the Bible. And what does God want from us ? He simply wants us to do what is right, to love and to forgive one another and to humbly walk with him thoughout our lives. That's all there is to it folks. Love God and love others. This week, ask God for his help and keep this verse in mind. It's the secret to living a holy and Godly life.


Glee Club

The Assassination Game is currently underway!!! Congratulations to Hamel for the first hit. Everyone be very careful out there. Do what you have to do to win, do it on time, and HQ will leave you alone.

As always rehearsals are from 6:30 to 8:00 Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you know that you're going to be absent, fill out an absence form in Louis' office.

Voice lessons have started with Ruth. If you're interested, talk to Louis, and then show up to the scheduled meeting times. Prices for the lessons are still being negotiated.

Make sure that you meet with Louis for ten minutes to discuss tour and your financial situation. Everything is confidential, and the point of this meeting is to help us figure out how much fund-raising we need to do.

Enough for now. Remember if you have any comments, direct them to alanhead@wpi.edu and he'll sort them out.

International Student Council

The Second ISC Coffee Hour is today, Tuesday, 8th October, at 6:30pm in the Higgins House Library. The theme behind the coffee hour this time will be the city of Bangkok. Prof. Stephen J. Weininger, will give an informal talk about his experiences at WPI's Bangkok Project Center. Since October is Apple month in the U.S. we have decided to have an apple theme to our drinks and desserts as well. Apart from the usual coffee we will have Cider and apple pie.

Following the ISC Coffee Hour, on Wednesday, 9th October, at 4:30pm, we will have our final ISC General Meeting for A term in Morgan A. Points of discussion include the Venetian Masquerade Party, ISC Calendar of Events, and the A term break trip, among other matters.

By the time we have our general meeting on Wednesday, all International Club officers should have received in their personal mail boxes, or in their club mail boxes forms on which they will be able to list the events and meetings they will have in B Term. The ISC Calendar of Events for B Term is expected to be out into circulation by the first day back, so all clubs will have to return all completed event and meeting forms by next Wednesday, 16th October. We have prepared an on-line form to post your events, if you prefer the Web to paper, and if you have events to post on the ISC Calendar of Events at any point during the year you may do so on-line. We also have an electronic version of the Calendar.


Muslim Student Association

Asslalaam-u-alaikum, Muslim brothers and sisters.

Hope that your school year is going well so far, and I'm sure that you're looking forward to it being over. Take it easy guys, the party's just beginning! Insha'Allah, by this time, we will have had our second bi-weekly get together and pot-luck, on Saturday, October 5th. Our first one was very fruitful, Al-humdulillah; the brothers enjoyed both the discussion, and the lunch. We encourage everyone to attend these sessions as often as possible, so that we may re-align our focus to our real purpose in life.

This week was a very beneficial one for the MSA. On Tuesday, the Prayer Room Sub-Committee, accompanied by Dean Thom Thompson, met with President Parrish, to discuss the possibility of a permanent prayer room for the MSA, and also to present to him a gift, to congratulate him on his recent inauguration. The president was very keen on helping us, and Dean Thompson, also gives us his full support. We will keep you posted on the prayer room situation, Insha'Allah.

Also, just as a reminder, the daily prayers are now being held in Higgin's Labs: Thuhr, at 1:25p.m., in HL102; and Asr, at 5:15p.m., in the 3rd flr, Conference Rm. Please do your best to attend.

Wassalaam-u-alaikum. The Executive Committee, Muslim Students Association.


Newman Club

We had our October Newman Executive Board meeting presided over by Ryan Abraham which was attended by several new club members. Everyone is always welcome to attend the Executive Board Meetings which are the first Tuesday of every month. The Board plans/cooperates the activities of the Club for the month and also for the future. On Tuesday, Oct. 1st meeting we planned several events for the rest of Term A and the rest of Term A and the beginning of Term B. We decide to add a first Friday Mass at 12:00 (noon) every month and to close out Term A by having a Newman gathering at 1:00 pm on Sunday , October 13th in honor of Christopher Columbus. Yonaira Coates and Jason Nadeau, our social chairpeople, will be in charge of the event which includes a cookout. We decided to open Term B by going apple picking on Saturday, Nov. 2nd. and have a Video and Lasagna night on Tuesday , November 12th.

Also we will have discussion/prayer group meeting every other week starting October 8th. Some one suggest that we should call RCIA night. Also we decided that we will be giving Father S. some sermon topics for Sunday Masses. We closed our meeting by sending out a search committee to look for Jordan , our VP whom we suspected was out looking for a volleyball. Also we are conducted a sign up for our basketball team. You can sign up with Fr.S. at Mass or e-mail Jordan Massad at jordanem.


Rugby Club

Two Saturdays ago we got our season under way with a game with Providence College. We lost a close one, 12-7. Our defense looked much better as did our passing. Our first home game was against Bryant this past Saturday. It was nice to see a few people come out and support us, even though they were probably there just to get the goat. As long as you guys continue to come to practice, and bring those who dion't show up that often, we have a great season ahead of us.
