FAR Off Campus .. Winter Term It all began last spring with a long line outside Lilly Center and a long night within. A few lucky students then got to attend ori- entation sessions and pack drugs. These are the activities which prepare students for a winter term mission trip. The UCC helps send students all over the worldto experience the culture and to help those less fortunate. This year, teams could be found from the Philippines to Africa and Georgia. At each sight, students helped build facilities needed by the town and cared for the sick. . The experience is highly educational as st- udents experience a totally different culture with different languages and customs. The trip also teaches each student much about himsetherselt as hetshe discovers strengths and weaknesses not before appar- ent. This spring, the UCC decided to utilize a lottery system instead of the usual overnight wait. This way, each student has a chance to go on a mission trip and test studying and classes do not have to be sacrificed by those wishing to participate. -Tracey Bellamy A member of the medical team smiles as she prepares to help the townspeople.
