f Kappa Delta *
f teeter-tots n

Thursday’s bad weather
couldn’t keep a group of USC
students from having some old
fashioned fun.
Sorority members and other
volunteers spent their Thursday
teeter-tottering on the first floor
of South Tower for Kappa Delta’s
15th Annual Shamrock Project in
an effort to raise money for various
children’s charities.
The money raised at the annual
Shamrock Project goes toward the
prevention of child abuse or to
Richland Memorial Children’s
Hospital.
Sorority members and
volunteers teeter-tot for 24 hours
straight.
Some Kappa Deltas welcomed
the break from the rigors of college
life.
“The teeter-tottering rep
resents the innocence of
childhood,” said Kappa Delta
President Katie Gomez, a second
year journalism student. “[The
girls will] be out there until 10
a.m.”
Last year’s fund-raiser raised
more than $21,000.
Gomez said she’s hoping for
a comparable amount, despite the
unpleasant weather conditions.
Because of the rain, the Kappa
Deltas were forced to take the
event inside.
“It was a let down at first. We
had a lot of events planned that
we had to cancel,” Gomez said.
“But it turned out great,” she
said. “I think everybody had a great
time.”
Eighty percent of all proceeds
will remain in Columbia, with the
rest going to the National Council
to Prevent Child Abuse. Most of
this year’s profits will benefit
Prevent Child Abuse South
Carolina.
According to Gomez, the
Shamrock Project is the biggest
event Kappa Delta sponsors.
Since 1984, the sorority’s
collegiate and alumnae members
have raised more than $3.1 million
for the Shamrock Project.

Proceeds from Carolina Alive’s Spring Show will help the group travel to Cuba
to perform in the International Choral Festival de Cuba.

Spring Show to Roger

Carolina Alive will hold its 28th
annual Spring Show at the Koger
Center for the Arts Saturday at 7:30
p.m.
Carolina Alive, USC’s show
choir, is a song-and-dance group
comprised of 22 students, mostly
non-music majors, who perform
around the state and the country for
various political and community
events, business conventions,
banquets, university functions and
fund-raisers.
At the Koger Center, Carolina
Alive will perform a full-length show
featuring numbers from The Lion
King II: Simba's Pride, Mulan and
The Pajama Game, plus explore
genres such as swing, Latin, Broadway
and traditional show-choir music.
In honor of their upcoming
trip to Cuba, the group will perform
a Latin number, “It’s Too Hot to
Samba.”
The group is led by President
Kia Faison, a third-year music
education major front Charleston,
and choreographer Carrie Phillips,
a second-year public relations major
from Lexington, S.C.
“Being a part of this group has
been probably the most rewarding
thing that I have done in college,”
Phillips said. “I am so proud of what
we have accomplished tliis year, and
I am sure that this year’s Spring Show
will be the best that it’s ever been.”
The group was founded in 1973
by Dr. Richard Conant, who still leads
Carolina Alive. Through the years,
the group has ignited the stage for
Presidents Nixon, Carter, Reagan and
Bush, as well as noted celebrities
Whiter Cronkite and Jimmy Stewart.
The group has also performed
backup for singers such as Charlie
Daniels and Michael Bolton. And
they’ve taken their special brand of
entertainment to Romania, Australia
and Egypt.
In May 2001, Carolina Alive will
travel to Havana, Cuba, to perform
in the International Choral Festival
de Cuba, where the group will
perform for Cuban dignitaries and
act as a goodwill missionary for the
United States.
“It is a great honor to be invited
to participate in this event,” Faison
said. “We are so looking forward to
this trip, and we are glad that our
Spring Show this year will be able to
preview the numbers that we will
perform at the festival in Cuba. I
really hope that we can pull in people
from the community so that we can
share what we do with people who
don’t know what show choirs are all
about.”
All proceeds from the show at
the Koger Center will go to help the
group travel to Cuba.
Tickets are $5 for students and
faculty and $ 10 for the general public.
They can be bought at the Coliseum
box office or at the Koger Center
the day of the show.
