Greetings and welcome back from our spring break. I hope all of you are ready for this term, the last term this year before our summer break starts and we all go in different ways.

I hope that you will come by and visit us this Friday at FNF in the lower wedge at 7:00, or come to Tuesday Night Prayer down in Founders study at 9:30. Even if you haven't come all year, come now! Also, don't forget about the Navigator's Spring Retreat coming up later this term. For information on that, contact cbf@wpi.edu.

"My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires." James 1:19-20 (NIV)

A lot of times we find ourselves not doing this because it is too easy to not listen to someone and argue. When we do this, we are not living the righteous life that God wants us to live. So instead of arguing and nursing your anger, listen to what other people are saying, think about it, and respond in the loving manner that God desires in our lives.

JazzGroup

This Wednesday, March 18th, the WPI JazzGroup will be hosting the IAJE Jazz Festival. This is a competition for the high school jazz groups of Massachusetts. It will include both Jazz choir and combo competitions. It is a very important event for the high school jazz musicians, and we are honored to host them as always. We also just got back from our tour in Spain. We went to Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, and Avila, and our performances went extremely well. It was a great experience both culturally and musically for everyone. This term we will have many performances that we will keep you informed about, and we hope everyone will come check us out. You can check our schedule at www.wpi.edu">cbf@wpi.edu.

Newman Club

Well we had a great Appalachia in Worcester Project. Twenty - two students plus Prof. Brian Stiltner restored two major buildings at Youville House. We spent the last Tuesday of our Spring Break at the project site. Actually some of us worked Monday evening getting all the materials ready and then cleaned up everything on Wednesday. Jen tried to sell off Chris, our president, but all she would get was an offer of five dollars. She figured he is worth a little more than that. Greg M. put more paint on his shoes than he did on any wall with the net result that he began the day with black Nikes and ended the day with a white pair. He tried to take up a collection for a new pair of Nikes but failed. We ended up the day by going to supper at Arturo's Ristorante where Jeff's sub committee of the club decided to hold their first meeting of the term. Nothing like doing it with class, Jeff reported.

Our Lenten Masses have started and they are Monday thru Thursday at 10:00 PM and Fridays at 12:00 (noon) in the Religious Center.

We voted Greg. Macleod as our new president, Maureen Upton, Tom Vogtman, and Kristiferanne Dreyer as our new vice - president, Jason Roas as Treasurer and Charlie Homic as Secretary. They installed as officers on April 17th. Our Executive Board will meet next Monday night, March 23 at 9:00 PM in the Religious Center.

Pathways

Well... This really is the wire. Matt G and I went to visit our friend Cheryl at Deerfield last week. She showed us a magazine that looked all right. It could have used some better pieces and a cool looking cover, but it would pass. And then we saw Pathways. It was a very impressive looking magazine with a nifty cover and a really cool design scheme. We thought to ourselves, "This must have been done by professionals," and then we remembered that we had done it - with your help. So as we speak the presses on Grove Street are busy churning out 500 copies of the best creative arts magazine this campus has ever seen. Pathways will be hitting the stands and the wedge in about two weeks, so keep your brains peeled! Ben Nawrath sighting of C-Term: We were sitting in the local goat establishment when Ben himself walked in. That was enough for us, but we would get more. Following Ben were two adult-type people. An idea hit us. Hard. These were the people who had brought Ben to life! Mom and Dad Nawrath, in the flesh, in Gompei's. My companion soiled himself. Then we started to think, "How do you tell your parents that you have become a pop icon for no other reason than that a lab partner's friend happened to think you had a nifty last name?" If my parents came to campus and saw that there was a weekly pEte [sic] sighting, I know they would not take it as calmly as Mom and Dad Nawrath. But then again, what else could be expected from the parents of pop icon?

Skeptical Chemists

While the President is away, the Chemists will play... Our next meeting will feature Will Kennerly's freestyle inorganic synthetic technique, starring the chemicals that I found out by the dumpster (probably from the stockroom spring cleaning...) Only 7 weeks of Experimental IV (or Orgo III, or for some of us poor and formerly innocent souls, General Chemistry IV) to go. Quoth Einstein, "I never think of the future. It comes soon enough." He must have also had 7 week terms!@#$

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, March 18 at 4:00 in the basement lounge of Goddard Hall. We'll do that pizza thing again; that seemed to work. There's news on ACS student affiliation (like how much it costs, how this can be advantageous to a Skeptical Chemist like yourself...) and WE ARE GOING TO PAINT THE FRESHMEN CHEMISTRY LABS. If I have to spend another 3 hours in a chemistry lab that resembles (purposefully?) a sanatorium, I really AM going to drop out and join the circus.

Happy Birthday to Einstein, 1921 Nobel Prize winner and researcher of the photochemical effect (yay!) on March 14th. And to vent some residual Quantum bitterness...Q: How many quantum chemists does it take to change a light bulb ? A: Two. One to do it, and one to renormalize the wave function.

We're Skeptical Chemists. We're hardcore. http://www.wpi.edu/~skepchem or email skepchem@wpi.edu for more information.
