"We now have members from all of the undergraduate houses on campus...even Mather," says McCarthy.

He adds that many of the club members are also a part of the Crimson Key Society because of the similarity of the groups' purposes.

"The purpose of the Crimson Key is to be friendly and to welcome people to the college, and the purpose of our group is to friendly and welcome people period," says McCarthy.

Signing the 'Manipesto'

Though the organization is not a national one, nor is it an official club at Harvard--yer-- McCarthy and Klein are working on getting approval from the administration.

Presently, the club leaders are working on attaining faculty advicers and on getting the "Manipesto," the group's charter, signed.

Events the club has held in the past include a trip to the circus, an outing to the Indigo Girls concert, sleepovers, pasta parties and beer-fests, for which Klein brewed his own beer. And yesterday, the got the Currier House dining crew to serve up fusilli to the whole house.

As the group's membership grows, McCarthy plans on sending a bi-monthly newsletter to all members, informing them of upcoming happenings.

According to Leslie R. Amper, a music tutor at Currier House and a Fusilli member, "it is a very fun-loving, up-beat and Warm-hearted group of people." She did admit, however, that she needs "a few more lessons to master the weave."

Menu Man Wanna Have Fun Too

Perhaps it is this fun-loving reputation that has attracted even the mysterious "Menu Man" to the Fusilli Club.

"It's a happy, harmless organization," says Menu Man.

"They've been hassling more me for a year now to join the club," he says. "They're great guys. [McCarthy] took a semester off and went to Ireland last year, and we kept in touch, I gave him my secret telephone number."

Of course, unlike members of other clubs, the members of the Fusilli Club used their political connections to have even more fun: yesterday, they were on the Dial-a Menu recording.

When asked whether or not he plans to join the club, Menu Man replied, "If they'll have me--and I'm easy to be had."

And since the group now performs phone inductions, Menu Man doesn't have to worry about revealing his identity. He'll just have to learn to weave with the telephone cord.
