Club Corner

APO

Hello OIsters! Be sure to congratulate Mike on his 3rd place finish in the Mr. WPI pageant! Today and tomorrow APO will be sponsoring the Red Cross blood drive, so be sure to go down to Founders and volunteer some blood. The Dance-a-thon has been moved to April 26 in Riley Commons. Be sure to attend, because you don't want to miss all the great music and dancing. Last weekend several of us went to Conclave, but you'll have to wait until next week for the details. Don't forget about Service to Students scholarship nominations; they're due today.

Glee Club

Alrighty boys, this is my first attempt at a club corner, so I'll try to be amusing while also trying to be P.C.

First of all, congratulations to the newly elected officers for next year: Pres. Jon Reynolds, Tres. Jurg Zwahlen, Sec. Jeff Haynes, Social Chair Chris Hamel, and Stage Manager Tim Thies. We're going to have an awesome year, and I'm looking forward to working with all of you. Also, a big applause to last years officers who did a great job: Pres. Mike Driscoll, Tres. Isaac Rutel, Sec. Alan head, Soc. Chair Jeff Alderson, and Stage Man. Mike Wheeler. Thanks guys.

We've got a full schedule ahead of us, so buck up and get that work done. Wells is coming next weekend so I'll totally avoid that topic except for dates, Um.. the schedule, that is. On Fri. the 18th, we have a concert at Sacred Heart. On the 20th we have a concert at St. Paul's downtown. The following weekend, we have our Alumni concert on Sun. which includes a lecture by the infamous Fenno Heath, a concert with him directing, and after a brief jaunt to Louis's, the dinner at Arturo's. In closing, Speak softly, and be prepared to pay the consequences.

ISC

A big thank you to everyone that came to support the ISC at the SGA meeting last Tuesday. The SGA approved our emergency fund request for Cultural Festival '97. We're on our way to the biggest and (hopefully) most successful Cultural Festival in ISC history.

Speaking about Cultural Festival '97, we have 17 entries for table displays and a whole lot of performance requests . If you didn't come to the last General Meeting, or if you haven't supplied the ISC with all the necessary information regarding your performance/display entry please give Dean Thomsen a call at 831-5201 or visit him in the Student Life Office. We have to have all entries complete as soon as possible.

There's going to be a lot of work needed to pull this one off so we need everybody's help. If you haven't signed up for the Cultural Festival Committee please do so by e-mailing the ISC (isc@wpi.edu) or the committee chair, Adam El-Khishin (adamel@wpi.edu). Meetings are held every Wednesday.

On a final note we request that all people involved in a display, performance or the committee come to the next ISC meeting, 4:30pm, Wednesday April 23 in the Forkey Conference room (Harrington Auditorium). It will be the last general meeting prior to the Cultural Festival and we will go over specific plans for the layout of the Festival. At the meeting we will also vote on the new constitution (refer to the old and proposed constitutions at http://www.wpi.edu/~isc), and we will accept nominations for a new set of ISC officers. The elections will be at our last general meeting, Wednesday April 30th.

Lens and Lights

Howdy all, and welcome to another wonderful week full of class, projects and big-ass concerts. This Friday is the Sister Machine Gun concert which we'll be signing up Wednesday. Again, lots of help will be needed here. Remember how smooth set-up was for the hardcore show? This one needs to be setup and for 4pm. Also, on Saturday the tech crews for New Voices are going to setup in one day. They would really like some help here. Quadfest is still in the wings as well as the fall picnic. . . See you there! Keep the sanity [tm].

Masque

Buenos, mi amigos! (Dontcha just love my Spanish) With all this wonderful weather, it feels like we're in Tropical Central America, doesn't it? HA! More like Alaska. Well, you probably haven't had time to notice. New Voices 15 has been organized finally...the plays go on April 23rd-26th, with the weekday shows at night, so you can definitely find time to see them all, RIGHT???? And A-term MWRep is in the process of choosing a play...I smell auditions, don't you? One more thing-Alpha Psi Omega is looking for nominations for the Rho Kappa Cast. If anyone knows anyone that has made a significant contribution to theatre and isn't in Alpha Psi Omega already, feel free to nominate them! If you have any questions, email me at nickel@wpi.edu. 'Til next week...Adios!

Newman Club

At last weeks' Newman Executive Board Meeting, we went over all thirty ideas that were proposed by our members during the day of planning. The board agreed to meet often during the next few months in order to implement as many of the suggestions as possible. This week we will be named our new chairpersons for the 97-98 school year.

This past week, Bishop Daniel Reilly deputed the following as Ministers of the Eucharist: Joy A. Benedix, John D. Brosnan, Christopher D. Callan, Stefano Ceriana, Edward J. Devault, Kristerferanne P. Dreyer, Jason P. Gleghorn, Gregory D. Macleod, Heather M. Moran, Victoria A. Regan, Michael R. Stark, Maureen L. Upton, Thomas A. Vogtman, Brian M. Zifcak. Together with our present ministers they will serve as Eucharistic ministers on campus as well as in various nursing homes in the city.

Our new ministers will be installed on May 4th when Bishop George Rueger will celebrated the 11:30 Mass on that Sunday. By the way Bishop Rueger and Father S. were classmates at Holy Cross, so may be we can get the Bishop to tell us about those days at the Cross and what Fr. S. was like as a college student.

Simple Harmonic Motion

Hey, Hosers. Great Job at the Acappellafest! We packed that room to capacity once again. I think next year we'll have to book the Centrum. We too have a full schedule coming up. On the 16th, we're singing with Company B of Brandeis. On the 25th, we're at Simmons college with the Sirens. Prepare to party. And on the 26th, we're at MIT with the Chorallaries. 2 days in a row of parties! YEAH! This past weekend, we did our time for Alden Voices. How'd ya like wearing those silly-ass signs all day? Anyhoo, we're not done with the year yet! Let's really rock 'em at these next couple of gigs. Over and out.

SGA

Congratulations to the new Executives that took office last Tuesday. SGA is now led by Michael Stark, President; Derek Sickman, Vice President; Jennifer Reese, Secretary; and Jennifer Gamache, Treasurer. The new executives and senate have many promising goals and ideas that are already being put into action. For example, along with the QuadFest Special Funding Request, which passed last week, SGA will not only be financially supporting the weekend's events but also running the dunk tank and popcorn and cotton candy tables.

SGA passed special funding requests last week to help fund a barbecue during senior week, with the intent to set as a precedent for future years along with supporting the Bowling Team as they go to National Competition.

Inside of SGA, the Election Procedure has been changed to hold all elections for executives as well as senators during B-term. The executives will be elected the second week in B-term and senators during the third. Currently, SGA is running the Campus Hearing Board Elections. Petitions are available in the SGA office and must be returned by 5:00 on the 15th. Don't forget about that campus center either, SGA senators are on top of that issue, working along side with administraters.

SGA meetings are moving to HL116 on Tuesday nights at 6:00pm. If you are interested in becoming a senator, stop by the office and pick up an appointment application. The new President will be making appointments soon.

Tonight's meeting, two special funding requests are scheduled to be discussed under New Business: The Ski Team and the Wireless Association. The meeting will be held in HL 116, come voice your concerns! Remember, SGA represents you, and if your concerns are not being heard then SGA is not doing it's job. But, SGA can not hear your concerns unless you voice them directly. So... HL 116, Tonight at 6:00pm.

Wireless Association

This is... W1YK, WPI Wireless Association in Worcester MA. One announcement, no traffic. OK, so I'm thinking about an emergency net - that's the announcement.

Once again, we have several members and alums assisting in providing communications for the 101st Boston Marathon. Those that are not familiar to the Boston Marathon and our participation in it should know that this is a yearly event for us, especially thanks to Bob Taylor NA1Q who has major influence on the presence of amateur radio at the Boston Marathon. Some members that we currently expect to be there are John, N3VUN, Mike, N1RRS, Ken, N1PKO, and Brian, KA1UKJ. Also, some alums including Chris, N1KJD - who also had a major part in keeping the "organized chaos" somewhat organized last year, Dave, N1QOI, and Marc, KA2WMX. Finally, once again, our advisor Bob, NA1Q, is the one to talk to for the major information.

Good luck at the marathon. 73's. DE W1YK .
