WELCOME BACK WSU!
By Michael Staley

The student chapter at Wichita State University is at it again. They kicked off the year with a Welcome Back/Recruiting Party on September 27th. Cindi Greene, the student chapter Vice President, visited the Engineering 101 classes to inform and invite interested freshmen and sophomores to attend. The chapter also designed brochures that advertised the event and then published the activity in the Sunflower.

The evening started with an informational session targeted towards recruiting new members. Maura Pendleton, alumni who graduated last year, made a guest appearance.

Brian Maschino, Ron Kammerer, and Ron Lunsford, all of whom gave a personal insight into the benefits of membership, represented the senior chapter.

Michael Staley, the student chapter President, recapped the previous year's accomplishments to help foreshadow the events to come. In total, there were nearly forty in attendance.

Immediately following the informational meeting, the attendants moved on to the Student Union, which is located in the basement of the Rattigan Student Center. This was a time of fellowship, that gave the old members a chance to mingle with the potential new recruits. To aid in this effect, the chapter provided free bowling, billiards, and refreshments.

Michael Staley, the student chapter President, said that nearly half of the students present were non-members. The chapter anticipates acquiring at least six new member as a result of their efforts.
