Club Corner


Alpha Phi Omega

Hello OIsters and neophytes. Well, a lot of stuff is going to be covered in this, the final edition of the club corner for the year. First, the news. We have voted on both the officers, who were sworn in on Monday, and the pledges. The initiation ceremony will be on Thursday at 8:30pm, in the library, but I am not sure of this, so contact Tim (twebb) for the details. And now for the new officers:

President - Mike Burzycki, Service VP - Danielle Fisette, Membership VP - Jon Barlow, Fellowship VP - Elena Hovagimian, Pledge Trainer - Stina Watson, Treasurer - Debra Greenman, Recording Sec. - Leigh Anderson, Corresponding Sec. - Anna Matzal, Historian - Gabe Flores, Publicity - Chris Yee, and Court Jester - Ray Halpin.

Congratulations to all of the new officers, and the neophytes who will become brothers.

There were a lot of service projects done during the last weeks of school, including the can food drive, the blood drive, and Mustard Seed. In addition, there was the pledge fellowship project (good dinner) and the pledge service project (if we got through the nice snow given to us Friday). Anyways, there might be one more meeting next Monday at 6:30pm in GH227, so if there is, see you there, and if there isn't, have a great Christmas break.


Bilaga

Hi. We went dancing last week and had fun. Glad everyone could come. This week on Thursday, 12 December 1996 at 7:00 p.m. in the Lower Wedge we are sponsoring an open meeting for all interested. Free pizza and soda. Everyone is welcome-you don't have to be in the club to come in and say hi. After the open meeting, we'll probably go out to the club again. For more information, send e-mail to bilaga@wpi.edu or check out our Home Page at http://www.wpi.edu/~bilaga

Christian Bible Fellowship

The Christmas Season is here, Praise God for giving us His Son! I hope the holidays find you able to focus on the true meaning of Christmas and not distracted by the world around us.

This is a special week for CBF. The last FNF of 1996 will be Friday night at 7 in the Lower Wedge. The CBF Christmas party will begin Saturday night at 5:30 in the wedge. We'll start off by going caroling and then return to the wedge at 6:30 for an evening of holiday cheer at the Carter's. For anyone who may not be active in CBF, you're invited! Just come to the wedge ready for a good time.

"... I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests !'" Luke 2:10-14 (NIV). As Christians, the "good news of great joy" that the angels brought to the shepherds lives in us every day. The angels couldn't hold back their joy at the birth of Christ, and we, like them, know the truth and there's nothing keeping us from sharing it with others either. May God bless you over break and may you start the new year by growing in Him, trusting in His Word. Merry Christmas!


Men's Glee Club:

Well, boys, It was Regis. There is really nothing more to say than that. Regis. As always, Shelia (aka STELLA! and Spaleta, Sr.) doesn't disappoint, does she? Well, it takes all kinds, I guess...

So, anyway, we finally were able to impress Big Lou. Congrats to you all, because that is not an easy thing to do (especially at concert time!). And just when you thought the fun was over, we get WELLS! Yeah! Another fun time in the snow with the women from the north. A tip to the freshman... before you go after one of the women, be sure to check their, um, "direction" first. From experience I can say that this is a MUST. So, here are the rules for housing the Wells Women:

1) No sticking the "beauty-deficient" one's with your neighbor.

2) Even if they do, NEVER tell a woman that they snore,

And the most important rule of the 1996 Wells @ WPI weekend...

3) NO MOPED RIDING.

That's it!


Newman Club

Tomorrow night, Dec.11th we are leaving from the Religious Center at 5:00 pm for a Christmas trip to LaSallette and then on to Village Haven. At our meeting last week, we decided that during Term C we would sponsor an Evening with the Trappists (Jan. 31st), Hayride and Cookout (Feb.11th) and Video and Pasta Night (Feb.18th) plus our discussion group on the other Tuesday nights in January and February. This coming Sunday night (Dec.15th) we are having our annual Christmas Mass and social in Alden Memorial Chapel. The Mass will begin at 9:00 pm with a brief musical performance by our folk group beginning at 8:50 pm. Come join us in prayer before the term break. Anyone who has not return their tree giving gift for Youville House children can drop it off at the Religious Center this week. As you may know Youville House is a shelter for battered women and their children and is a favorite project for the Newman Club. We were delighted to see three of our Officers, Ryan, Jordan, Mike and Correna inducted into Tau Beta Pi. We did not realize that we had scholars in our midst. Finally we decided at our meeting that our annual retreat will be on Saturday, Feb.1st beginning at 10:30 am.

Simple Harmonic Motion

Due to a lack of anything interesting happening in the past week, this club corner will have no jabs at each other, no fight provoking sayings, and no derogatory mention of little Jason the mouth... well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. So here's a top 12 list. Why 12? If ya gotta ask, then you should be run over with a sleigh. And now, the Top 12 Reasons for SHM to sing Christmas Concerts:

12) It gets us out of doing work. 11) We can sing "Mankind" without getting dirty looks! 10) So we can receive wakeup calls at Oh-Dark-Thirty. 9) What else do you have to do on Tuesday Mornings... Saturday afternoons... Sundays... Lunchtime on Fridays... Wednesday nights... 8) Because we can. 7) The complex melodies mixed with the Rich harmonies provide a serene, beautiful mood that would put a smile on the face of even the coldest of hearts... (AWWWWWW WWWWW!) 6) Two words: SANTA HATS! 5) Because, as Mark Becker says, "We're just that good." 4) To help promote our new Christmas CD, "We Wish You a Techie dX-Mas!" 3) Free Food! 2) To prove once and for all that Rudolph's nose is no more than a 2 node LED circuit. and the number one reason that SHM sings Christmas concerts, 1) FREE WASSAIL!! That's all. Keep this and cherish it forever. Because I said so.
