The neccessity existed due to the fact that most physics majors did not have the time to take a formal computer science course here at Wesleyan. So far things have gone great. Great times were had athe the launch this year. Most rockets were if not successful, at least interesting. We've even got pictures of the Portland Probe, before and after.
Time travel is the theme for the spring, with a special surprise for our end of the year trilogy.
One of the greatest things about being a physics major is the fact that you have access to Liquid Nitrogen, which has so many great uses. The date for this event has yet to be determined, but look for it when it gets hot and nasty out. Phase one in our conquest of the world, which will begin with the Chemistry Dept., is to create a weapon of mass destruction. A Catapult seemed the most feasible to do. Hopefully this will be ready to be unleased by Spring Fling '96.
