Standing in line and waiting are things nobody likes to do, but unfortunately with student enroll- ment at an all time high everyone has to live with it. Yawn! This group of students is tired after waiting an hour to use the foreign language lab. Photo by John Gray. Student Life 17

Philanthropy VPUZ 1 % o£ 4 College students are tre- mendously aware of and in- volved in philanthropic activ- ity and the U of A reflects this attitude. Students here work hard to make their community a better place. This year, many philanthro- pies were held by various clubs and organizations around campus. Each Greek organization adopted a phi- lanthropy to work with and raise money for, as did many clubs, organizations, and resi- dence halls. Sigma Kappa raised money for the Alzheimer ' s Association and participated in it ' s annual 1 0K walk. Delta Delta Delta worked with child cancer pa- tients. The Honors Student Association devoted time and money to help the Center for Women and Children. Both Yuma and Gila Halls raised money for and participated in the Aids Walk. A popular on-campus com- munity service event was the CedricDempsey Cancer Cen- ter Run which many students participated in to raise money for the AZ Cancer Center. For weeks before the run the event ' s t-shirts could be seen across the chest ' s of many students. The Red Cross Annual Blood Drive proved to be very successful for U of A. Each year, U of A competes with ASU to raise the most pints of blood. The Red Cross sets up stations on the mall and in various fraternity and sorority houses fordrawing blood. Vol- unteer donors were given cookies and juice after they donated. This year, even though our campus is signifi- cantly smaller the Arizona State ' s, we raised consider- ably more blood than the Sundevils. Throughout the year, phil- anthropic activity on campus were high. Students became proud of their campus and community through theirwork to improve it. by Carrie Netterville Student Life Y L 19
