Club Corner

APO

Hello OIsters and pledges, and welcome to a new edition of club corner. Well, after last weeks snafu, things are back together again. Anyways, there is some important major news. Yesterday, we voted on if we wanted regionals or not (of course if we don't have quorum, we can't vote, but I'm writing this Friday so who knows.) Basically, the plan is that the chapter, with help from other chapters, plans to hold a regional convention for Region 1 and 2 (Basically New England, New Jersey, New York, and most of Pennslyvania). Anyways, a follow-up will be coming in e-mail. Any questions can go to Craig (endrye) or Yusef (wingman).

Service events. The was a park cleanup on Saturday, and this week, there is wedge sitting for the Servent Auction. The actucal acution is on November 19 in Riley Commons (the big room next to Gompei's) at 7:00PM. If you want to help, but did not go to the brother meeting, contact Smiley. And don't forget this Sunday is Mustard Seed, and coming up soon is the food can drive (week of the December 2 through 6), and the blood drive.

And if you missed it, there were the Big-Little Olympics on Sunday, which were fun (at this time, we can not report any casuilities). The Big-Little Dinner is going to be November 22 at 5pm, so be there. There is no planned fellowship, as everybody is taking all of the good dates. However, spontaneous events may be planned in the future (more than likely).

Remember the brother meetings. Monday, 6:30PM. GH227.

Christian Bible Fellowship

Hello out there! How is B-Term shaping up for you so far? Do you see God taking you in new and exciting directions? I know that I can and I see some others going in awesome directions as well.

But save some time to come out to Friday Night Fellowship at 7:00 in the Lower Wedge to praise God together as one in the body of Christ. Bible Studies will be meeting as scheduled this week. The Holy Spirit continues to bless us as we study God's word. Is there anyone out there still looking for a good church? If so, you can contact our three church reps by e-mail through our new CBF homepage.

"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. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:2-3 (NIV). These verses ring a beautiful melody in my heart. Who other then Jesus could have show such love? When we fix our eyes on Him and what He did, we can't help but see the magnitude of burdens He bore for us. In comparison, our own burdens are nothing and we can be sure that we won't grow weary as we walk with God. So, brothers and sisters, let us lift our eyes from the worries of the world this week and fix them on the author and perfector of our faith, Jesus.

International Student Council

There was a slight break from the ISC club corner last week, but it is up and running again. Here is a list of past and future happenings.

The ISC Calendar of Events for B-Term was printed and you can pick up a copy from the ISC Bulletin Board in Daniels Hall. Look out for the electronic version coming up on the web soon. Here is a reminder of the events on the calendar.

The next ISC Coffee Hour is this Tuesday, 12th November, in the Higgins House Library, as usual. Prof. Kent Rissmiller from the Social Sciences department will start off a discussion on the effects of the recent US elections on US foreign policy. The seasonal pecan pie will be served along side a variety of coffees.

The last in a series of career planning workshops for international students will be on Wednesday, 13th November, in SL 105 from 3:00pm-5:00pm.

The next ISC Meeting will be the following Wednesday, 20th November, at 4:30pm in Morgan C.

Those are all the ISC sponsored events for November. Two gatherings that have been left out of the Calendar are an invitation by the Student Center Committee to meet around 10-15 international students and discuss the plans for the Student Center. Secondly is the meeting with President Parrish on the 2nd of December where another group of 10-15 international students will have the chance to meet with the President and discuss any issues affecting the international student community at WPI. If anyone is interested in coming to either of these gatherings, please e-mail the ISC at isc@wpi.edu.

Production week is coming soon, so make sure to get plenty of rest now while you still can. Also, don't forget to spread the word about _cuckoo's nest_ if you are interested in the C-Term show, don't forget that the scripts under consideration are available down in the humanities office. Don't miss the masque meeting friday... its at 4:30 in the green room - as always.

Newman Club

Tonight we kick off our social activities of the Club with a video and pasta night. The pasta will be pizza and we hope the the film will be "The Nutty Professor" which is being made avaible in Worcester today. Also we have started our Nursing Home visitation. The first one was this past Sunday and we will do it every Sunday that we are in session. We have scheduled our trip to LaSallette for Wednesday night, Dec 11th leaving campus at 5:00pm and hoping to be back about 10:00pm. Also that week we are going to a Bingo game here in town. Our Christmas Mass is all set for Sunday, December 15th at 9:00pm followed by our annual Christmas party. Another help project that the club is going to do is to sponsor a "Giving Tree" for the benefit for the young children at Youville House which is a shelter for battered women and their children. Our discussion group got off to a great start a week ago tonight and it has been decided that we will do it every two weeks. Several of our club members were featured in the weekly bulletin of Blessed Sacrament Parish for their teaching in the Religious Education Program of that parish. At our monthly meeting last week we planned a long list of both spiritual and social program for C term. We will publish the events later in this term after final arrangements have been made. If anyone wants to join the folk group at Christmas Mass, please e-mail Jennifer Roy at jenroy@wpi.

Society of Martial Artists

KIAII!!! Thwack!! Kerplunk!!! Now that's the sound of a winning point at a martial arts tournament. SOMA (WPI's Society of Martial Artists) will hopefully be attending some in the coming three terms. But enough about the future, let's talk NOW! We have a fresh new batch of instructors as well as some faithful older members, and are presently teaching three different styles of martial arts. SOMA is one of two matial arts clubs here on campus (the other being the Shotokan Karate Club) promoting health and self defense.

All sorts of great things are happening this term with SOMA. Not only do we have regular work out classes four times a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday at 7pm in Founders basement - turn right at the bottom of the stairs) but we also have four classes of self defense technique, meditation, stretching, and Katas following each workout! There will be a self defense seminar hosted by SOMA later this month as well.

Those who would like to be proficient in many or one style of martial arts as well as have loads of fun send a call to soma@wpi.edu.

This week's self defese tip! Your life is more is more important than your wallet or your pride, keep it. When walking alone, keep one hand on your keys; if placed one between each finger with your hand in a fist, you have a weapon against unarmed assault - Strike for the face.
