Fraternity seesaws for charity By Forrest Brown Staff Writer A seesaw-a-thon sponsored by Alpha Tau Omega fraternity should raise about $1,500 for the American Cancer Society before the project ends today at noon, according to a fraternity spokesman. Members of Alpha Tau Omega have been seesawing on the Russell House patio since noon Monday, working toward a goal of raising $300 more than last year's total, said Mitch Hendrick, cochairman of the project. Each member of the iratermty is required to ride the seesaw for at least one hour during the event, Hendrick said. Pledges must ride for two or three hours during the night, and the fraternity's little sisters also have taken turns on the seesaw, he said. PREVIOUS seesaw-athons have been held on the Statehouse grounds, but the event has been more sue cessful since its move to the Russell House, Hendrick said.
