This spring, the Office of Community Service
Programs is once again sponsoring its annual
Alternate Spring Break.
Alternate Spring Break is a week-long community
service project which was designed to let students
become more aware of the problems of disadvantaged
individuals.
"Participating in Alternate Spring Break will
make students more aware of their surroundings
and how things really look with blinders off" said
Rachelle Lehner, coordinator of community service
programs. "This program lets students give back
to the community, gain respect for those less fortunate
and gain experience in building a house or renovating
n
one.
"I came on ASB because I wanted to help
Baskervill Ministries and because, this being my
first real spring break, I wanted to do something
productive," senior Ann Goggins said. "I have been
very productive, but beyond that, I have met a
group of people whom I can honestly say have been
instrumental in helping me define me. Only four
days and I feel a 'family growing here."
"Tt was an incredihle exnerience." iunior Caroline

The trip is open to all students, faculty members

"We usually have a good mix of people," Lehner
said. "It is mostly made up of undergraduates, a
small group of graduates and a handful of staff."
In the past, the groups have renovated, painted,
demolished and built a house for those in need.

Reimer entitled
"Celebration of Life" will take place
at 4 p.m. Sunday in Rutledge Chapel.
Funeral services were held Jan.9 in
Myrtle Beach.
Reimer, who planned on
graduating in May, was a member
of Phi Sigma Pi Honor Fraternity,
Chi Psi, Golden Key Honor Society
and the Young Democrats. Reimer
served as the president of the Young
Democrats during the fall of 1996.
ReimeFs friends said he was a
friendly and dependable person.
"He was charismatic, friendly,
outgoing, willing to take charge and
a leader," former Young Democrats
President David Frankel said. "I felt
comfortable handing the presidency
over to him. He wouldn't give up. He
was a fighter."
"The thing that amazed me is
that wherever he went, he took a
following. He commanded a lot of
respect of his peers. We lost a good
friend and brother," senior Chi Psi
member Tige Howie said.
Memorials can be made to the
American Diabetes Association, S.C.
Affiliate at 2711 Middleburg Dr.,
Suite 311, Columbia, S.C. 29204.
Friends of Reimer are requesting
a poetulum degree hum the university.
