Club Corner
APO
The APO formal is in the planning stages, tentatively scheduled for April 26. See Elena Hovagimian for details. The next big project is the Dance-a-thon! For a long time (last year it was 12 hours), we will have some cool bands and cool music to party to! Stay tuned for more information on this exciting event. The money will be donated to a charity (yet to be determined), and it will happen in D term. Tonight is the special WPI showing of Empire Strikes Back! I'm sure there will be plenty of rides down to the Showcase theater on Main Street. Don't forget conclave in April! Pledges are encouraged to attend, as there will be events there just for them. Brother meetings as always Monday at 6:30 in GH227.
BiLaGA
Hey, everyone! Reserve Tuesday, March 4th, 1997 at 7:30 p.m. on your calenders, because that is the time for the C-Term Open Meeting. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend, regardless of personal sexual orientation. BiLaGA is really about showing support and demonstrating open-mindedness on a variety of topics. We will have tons of information to tell people, or you can just hang out and relax. It's a good excuse for a study break during the middle of finals. Free pizza and soda will be served to anyone who shows up with an open mind. This is still a few weeks away, but we wanted to let you know about it ahead of time.
Today, we're having our lunch meeting as usual. These seem to be working out really well. Lunch meetings provide an informal atmosphere for talking and listening. If you'd like to have lunch with us, e-mail bilaga@wpi.edu.
We're still selling T-shirts for $3 and freedom rings for $5, so let one of the officers know if you're interested by e-mailing us. As always, you may find out more about the topics that concern BiLaGA by going to our library located at Health Services. You may sign items out to review privately. To obtain more information about what BiLaGA is involved in, please check out our web site at: http://www.wpi.edu/~bilaga
Christian Bible Fellowship
Hello once again, everyone. The end of the term is upon us along with all the work that comes with it. Don't get discouraged and lose heart during these times, rely on God's strength and not your own. Coming into fellowship with others who are relying on God's strength always helps us to keep our faith strong. Come and experience this at Friday Night Fellowship, at 7:00 PM sharp in the Lower Wedge. Then stenghten and exercise your body at Saturday Morning Sports, once again in Alumni at 10:30 AM. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV). As deeply as some books may affect us, none can compare to one book that has the power to change our lives in extraordinary ways. One book has the keys to joy and salvation written within its many pages. One book reveals a loving God to us and the price that he paid to save us. One book tells us of the glory that awaits all of us who believe the truth of its words. In this book, all is revealed and made known to us, and by studying its words we can be trained in what is right and just and become ready to do good. This book is the Word of God, the Holy Bible. Take the time this week to see the beauty of its meaning for the first time, or to rediscover the verses that have reached your heart and changed your life.
Men's Glee Club
11 Days and Counting! We will be on that plane for England. Pleanty to do between now and then, though... rehersals all over the place (there is a reason for this- Learn Your Music!)... and don't forget about our pre-tour concert at Sacred Heart on March 1st... time TBA. Guys, stay ahead of your work because we might have a few "last minute" rehersals thrown in. Also, on March 4th and 6th our rehersals will be open to the public. We will be in the Great Hall in Alden. Everybody is welcome to come and listen to us. After all, we will be representing WPI internationally, so chances are you'll enjoy our show! Now I would like to blatently plug our spring concert- The WPI Men's Glee Club, along with the RPI chorus and Wells College Concert Choir will be putting on a concert here at WPI in April. This is the first time that we have sung with them (to my knowledge), so it should be a great time. And on behalf of the sophomore committee, I would like to say that I am dissapointed by the amount of brownosing that has not been going on... get to work frosh! That's all for now, Fratres en Cantu!
Masque
This year's Masque C-term show, Veronica's Room, will be presented in Alden Hall February 27, 28, and March 1 at 8:00pm. Tickets will be on sale in Daniels Mailroom the week of February 24th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm everyday. Don't forget to reserve a ticket!
Good luck to all of next year's officers!
Newman Club
Well, we had a great time at Bingo night and we all promised not to tell who among us won the last coverall prize. We do know that either Ryan or Mike got 10% of the prize although Ryan claims he should get the cut as he taught the winner all they knew about bingo. This Friday night we have out February video and pasta night at the Religious Center starting at 5:30 pm. All are welcome to come and we assure you that the pasta is the best of campus. The election of our 96-97 officers will take place the coming Sunday after all the Masses. Don't forget the Newman Club sponsors an evening Mass during Lent. The Mass is celebrated at 10:00 pm (except Fridays when it is at 12:00 (noon) in the Religious Center. Hope to see you there.
Pre-Law Society
The Pre-Law Society would like to extend an invitation to the WPI community. Attorney Paul Kokulis, WPI Class of '45, will be visiting the WPI campus on Wednesday, February 26 at 4:30 in the Beckett Conference Room in Fuller Labs. Mr. Kokulis is a leading attorney in the patent law field. He specializes in patent interferences, proceedings that determine which inventor is the rightful holder of the patent when two or more people claim the same right to an invention. He has worked in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology fields for major US and foreign companies. Mr. Kokulis holds a BS degree from WPI in chemical engineering and a LL.B. from George Washington University. We would like to invite all of you to come and meet with Mr. Kokulis.
Simple Harmonic Motion
I would like to start by apologising to anyone who has taken offence to past Club Corners. We meant it all in good fun, but realize that we might have pushed it too far. Anyway, No gigs for over a month, and all of a sudden, 3 in a week! What a change... congratulations, y'all did a great job! Ok, let's see, what do we have coming up... England tour with the Glee Club over break... that should be a fun time. Also, A CAPPELLA FEST III (because two just weren't enough!) is coming on April 5th... Mark your calenders. We are very pleased to announce that WPI's first FEMALE a cappella group, Interstate 8, will be performing there. There will also be many other groups, including Clark University's Counterpoints! It will truly be a lot of fun for all! Keep your ears and eyes open for more information! Other than that, the music is coming along great (Mike is apparently getting his work done) and I can't wait to perform on campus again (and maybe perform a SHM original... and that's all I'm going to say about that!) Have a great week!
Society for Medieval Arts and Sciences
Officer election time has once again come and gone. Sean Veale, Jason Sykes, and Chris Pinard were all re-elected to their respective positions of President, Vice-President, and Secretary. Wesley Blackstone was elected Treasurer. Last Tuesday's weekly meeting again showed poor turnout. At that meeting, it was decided that we would try to incorporate our Spring Medieval Fair with QuadFest. A contingent of officers and members attended Wednesday's QuadFest planning meeting, and it appears very likely that the Fair will take place as part of QuadFest. It was even suggested that this year's QuadFest take on a medieval theme. This Tuesday's meeting will focus on how best to convince the committee to choose a medieval theme, and on other matters related to planning the Fair. In exchange for their presentation at the Fair, the Higgins Armory has asked the SMAS Servants' Guild to perform two tasks for them in return: To paint one of their exhibit rooms, and to construct prop trees for use in one of their exhibits. If you are interested in helping out, contact the officers via e-mail to realms@wpi.edu. A trip to a fabric store for garb-making material has been tentatively scheduled for next Sunday. Anyone who is providing some exhibit, display, or demonstration for the Fair is asked to please work on developing it as soon as possible, so we can get a good idea of what exactly will be there. Realms fight practices are Mondays and Thursdays at 7:30 (meet in the Wedge). SMAS weekly meetings are on Tuesdays at 7:00 in the Founders Study Room. If you have any questions or comments, you can send them to the SMAS officers at realms@wpi.edu.
