Hey singers! We've rehearsed only a few times so far this year but the sound is already shaping up nicely. Good work, especially to all new members. And hey, what a weekend at Riverside, eh? Don't forget that this weekend is Parents' Day Weekend; we'll be performing Saturday in Alden Hall. This will be our first concert of the academic year so be sure to show up for rehearsals this week. Stay tuned to the mailing list for more details.

Can I hear an "I LOVE A CAPPELLA!!!" Congratulations to Malia Aull, BJ Boettcher, Jes Caron, Amanda Egan, Julia Jones, Diane Jordan, Sarah Lovell, Andrea Madeiro, Heather McCusker, Jillian O'Toole, Adria Rizzo, Dre Sereny, and Jen Waite! Thanks to all who tried out, everyone was really talented. We are going to get right into the swing of things with a concert on September 18th at 8:00pm in Alden Hall for Family weekend. Also performing will be Alden Voices, WPI's female vocal group, and other groups from the music association. Come show your support! Also, our first CD is scheduled to be released in early October, and will hopefully be on sale in the campus bookstore. Be sure to pick up your copy early, as to avoid those sold out blues!

What a turnout we had at video and pasta night. The cook, an unnamed priest, ran out of his famous bread and Italian sauce. Our worthy advisor, Greg Macleod, is claimed that would never have happened if he was in charge. The video, Dead Poets' Society was a great choice. A tip of our hat goes to Jen Cooper and Jen Hardy for picking out that video. Even our doctoral student, Tom Vogtman approved. Father S's famous Wednesday and Thursday nights suppers have been a great success and allows the members of the class of '03 get to know Father S and find out that his bark is not as big as his bite. Some of our new arrivals can not believe a priest can cook. Becky Dowd claims that she and Theresa have taught him well. Actually we can report that really John and Ian do the cooking with Father S giving the orders. No matter who cooks, we can assure you that it is a great supper, so keep you eyes open for your invitation in your mail box.
Our Faith and Discussion group meets every Wednesday night at 8:00 PM in the Religious Center. It has grown so much we are thinking either having two different groups or the group meeting twice a week. The group will decide that or hope to decide that at this week's meeting. Come on down and join us.
The club is looking forward to Parents' Weekend this weekend. We have invited the parents to join us for Sunday Mass either at the 11:30 AM Mass in Alden or the 5:00 PM Mass in Founders. Hope to see you there also.
Science Fiction Society
Well, gaming weekend was fantastic. It was also two weeks ago, but it was fun, wasn't it? For those of you who missed it (gasp), we'll be throwing another one sometime next semester. Keep your eyes, ears, and antennae open.
For those of you interested in science fiction, the WPI Science Fiction Society has something new. After each weekly meeting, a bunch of members are hosting a SF discussion forum. Want to talk about your favorite SF books? Show up.
The SFS meets weekly, on Wednesdays, at 7:12pm, in Olin Hall, room Be there or be mundane.
SMAS
At our last meeting we set dates for our various activies this term: Purgatory Chasm will be either Sat 9/25 or Sun 9/26 in the afternoon; King Richard's Faire will be Sat 10/2. We will go to Higgins Armory in B-term when it gets colder. Garb, armor, and weapons making sessions will be scheduled soon for this month. The newbie night quest is scheduled for the end of this month in place of a Thursday fight practice.
Bellydancing classes have also started up on Tuesday nights 7:30 to 9:30 in Founders basement. New people are always welcome, so come try something new and different!
Our meetings are Tuesday nights at 7pm in Founders basement. Fight practices are Monday and Thursday nights at 7:30pm on the lower fields. Email the officers (realms@wpi.edu) with any questions or suggestions.
Student Alumni Society
Homecoming is Saturday, September 25th! Everyone should be psyched for all of the fun activities planned and an appearance by the goat. To prepare for the big day, SAS will be having a meeting on Wednesday, September 22nd in the Higgins House Library at 5pm. SAS would like to congratulate Liz Amaral for being our new Goat's Head Committee representative. Everyone should read the Goat's Head Rules published in this week's edition of Newspeak. We would also like to give a special thanks to Stephanie, Fred, Andrea, and Dennis. The event at the Boston Museum of Science was full of fun, food, and mingling with young alumni. Everyone is encouraged to go to our next meeting as there will be plenty of opportunities to help with our spirited activities. See you all there.
