The 3rd Annual Relay For Life walk will kick off at 5 p.m. on Friday.
Each team will have at least one representative walking throughout the entire night to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
“You don’t have to be on a team to walk,” said Faculty Advisor Rachel Schaefer. “It’s for everyone.”
Walking laps is not the only way that people can help raise money.
“Even if you’re not on a team, you can still make donations,” Chairperson Erin Cico said.
Relay For Life has grossed millions of dollars to fund cancer research. Doane is not only participating in the walk, but has other activities to help raise money as well.
Last Friday students participated in a Car Smash. Students paid $1 for three hits anywhere on the car. All proceeds made went to Relay For Life. A total of $159 was raised.
The evening will start at 5 p.m. with a tailgate dinner and will continue with games and activities throughout the night.
It will end at 6 a.m. Saturday morning.
Other fundraising activities include: basket auction, luminaries, 3rd Annual Miss Relay Pageant, and Jail’n’Bail.
Another organization on campus, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, has also helped with the cause.
The organization decided to auction off several males and whatever funds these gentlemen brought in would go directly into the Relay For Life account. One hundred and ninty dollars were raised through this activity.
This year there is Nebraska Wesleyan University challenged Doane to raise more money than them.
Cico said that the Doane and Crete communities have gotten more involved with Relay For Life each year.
“Most students don’t realize all treatments have come from the American Cancer Society,” Cico said. “We are a large part of that and it’s very important.”

Having a ball; building
Students work with Habitiat for Humanity during Spring Break

Tanning in 80 degree weather, lounging on a boat, shopping at the mall, and meeting the locals were just a few of the activities the participants of this year’s Alternative Spring Break enjoyed.
Recreation and relaxation was not the point of the trip, however service learning was. Thirteen Doane College students traveled to Brigham City, Utah, to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and work on two different housing units for the northern Utah community. Habitat builds and remodels houses with the help of homeowners and other volunteers. Habitat is currently building in about 2,000 locations and in more then 80 countries around the world.
Students traveled 900 miles and 13 hours to stay for one week and offer their services assisting in the development of a house. Students worked with all kinds of power tools, climbed ladders, unloaded and loaded materials and even had a few mud fights. The trip was not all work and no play. On their day off, participants traveled to Salt Lake City to enjoy a cruise on the great Salt Lake, wander around the downtown area, and explore Temple Square. Students also visited nearby crystal hot springs and Logan Canyon.
“I had a lot of fun working with our site advisor, Chuck and his son. We got to meet a lot of the local residents and really get a feel for the community we were working in.” Sara Zegers, sophomore said.
According to Rachel Schaefer, ASB advisor, student cost for the trip is kept low because of funding from Hansen Leadership and Student Congress.
Also, the Habitat site provided lunches and area churches invited the Doane students to dinner meals. Lodging consisted of camping out in one of the local churches and showering at the public pool facilities.
“Staying at the church was fun because it allowed us to bond as a group and spend time getting to know each other.” David McGraw, sophomore said.
After three days of labor, seven walls were framed, one unit ready for paint, friendships made and students graced with a fulfilling service learning accomplishment.
This year’s ASB trip cost participants $25 but the experience was priceless.

HSSC represents students at Doane

Every community has a form of leadership or representation present. At Doane there is representation as well: Student Congress and the Hansen Student Steering Committee (HSSC).
“HSSC is a group of students chosen to help steer the Hansen Leadership Program in the right direction, in what they think the college should be focusing its attention on,” said Rachel Schaefer, associate director of HLP.
HSSC is a group of students who are nominated by faculty or staff members.
“At the previous two schools I was at before I came here, they had components of what HLP is to Doane,” HLP director Jim Hermelbracht said. “But it was never a set program.”
In the past, HSSC has been involved in many aspects of leadership on campus.
They were strongly involved in the Relay for Life campaign and select programs and speakers for Doane.
“Doane's philosophy is that everyone is a leader,” Hermelbracht said. “This program is great because students don’t have to enroll in it, it’s open to everyone.”

Students face charges

Punishment for sophomore Sherri Chilcott and freshman Teresa Sorenson's giant leap across the nation last week is progressing - in baby steps.
Though the extent of Doane sanctions is unknown, County Attorney Ted Eickman said legal charges are being pressed against the two for Unauthorized Use of a Propelled Vehicle, more commonly known as 'joy riding.'
In Nebraska, the state can press charges even if the victim chooses not to. Eickman said he made the decision to press charges based on the initial police report.
"I will always listen to the victim's wishes, but the final decision is mine," Eickman said. "There have been cases when the victim has asked to have the charges dropped and I pursued the case anyway."
Eickman said he received the case information Monday and that charges were filed with the court on Tuesday.
"The arraignment for both girls has been scheduled for March 16 at 1:30," Eickman said. "At the arraignment, the girls will enter their plea and a possible trial date will then be issued."
According to the Nebraska State Statutes, the offense is classified as a Class III Misdemeanor with a maximum punishment of three months in jail and/or $300 fine. There is no written minimum.
Both Russ Hewitt, director of Residence Life, and Rachel Schaefer, Residence Director of Hansen Hall, refused to comment on any repercussions from Doane.
Kim Heier, dean of Student Affairs said she has been unable to work on the case due to the recent Frees Hall flooding.
Thus far, the only evident sanction has been Chilcott's removal as a Sheldon Hall Residence Assistant.
