Greek houses to hold
see-saw charity event
ByIevaAugstums
Staff writer
More than 175 students are recall
ing their playground days while at the
same time remembering the loss of a
loved one as they teeter-totter this
weekend to promote alcohol education
and awareness.
Gamma Phi Beta Sorority and
Alpha Gamma Sigma Fraternity's first
“See-Saw-A-Thon” starts at 7 a.m.
today in the greenspace north of the
Nebraska Union. The event will con
tinue for 60 consecutive hours and
conclude 7 p.m. Saturday.
Jason Hirschfeld. Alpha Gamma
Sigma philanthropy chairman, said the
idea and sight may seem crazy, but that
it would shed light on a serious issue.
"There's an underlying message
we are trying to get out here,”
Hirschfeld said. “We want people to
think first before they decide to drink
irresponsibly or drive drunk.”
The two greek houses are hoping
to raise S10,000 for the Laura Cockson
Memorial Scholarship Fund. Hirsch
feld said.
Cockson, who was a junior pre
occupational therapy major and a
Gamma Phi member, was killed in an
April car crash when a drunken driver
smashed into her car.
The memorial scholarship, estab
lished by the Association of Students
of the University of Nebraska, would
go to a University of Nebraska
Lincoln student who brings awareness
to the adverse effects of alcohol.
"We want the community to know
we care about students and we still
want people to remember Laura," said
Andrea Bell. Gamma Phi Beta philan
thropy chairwoman.
Bell said the community has been
responsive to the group's fund-raising
efforts.
"Many businesses have already
donated hundreds of dollars,” Bell
said. "We have almost reached our
fund-raising goal."

We want this event to
impact everyone.
We need to have
extra support
and knowledge
of our cause”
Jason Hirschfeld
Alpha Gamma Sigma
philanthropy chairman
She said businesses sponsoring the
event include Old Chicago Restaurant,
826 P St., Pepsi Cola Co., and KKNB
FM (104.1) “The Point.”
On Friday and Saturday, from
noon to 1 p.m., Pepsi will pass out free
drinks. Bell said. The Point will broad
cast live Friday from 3 to 5 p.m. and
Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m.
Hirschfeld said students also will
be passing out purple ribbons during
the next three days to promote alcohol
awareness.
“We want this event to impact
everyone. We need to have extra sup
port and knowledge of our cause,” he
said.
ASUN President Sara Russell said
senate members will be on hand
Saturday to help teeter-totter.
“The money raised goes to a good
cause,” Russell said. "We are happy to
help out.”
Russell said ASUN will support
any organization's efforts to raise
money for the scholarship fund.
Donations to the Cockson memor
ial are being accepted at the “See-Saw -
A-Thon” site.
“We will see-saw through rain,
sleet, snow and hail," Hirschfeld said.
“Mother Nature won't keep us from
doing this for Laura and other stu
dents.”
