sive life experiences. He related this first encounter with King to show the impression left on him by such an important historical figure. It was not the only time the speaker had the opportunity to interact with Dr. King. He met a few times later in life through rallies and circles of common people. ÒKing gave me a principle on which to operate,Ó said Omokunde. Dr. KingÕs principle was that of nonviolence, and as the speaker told, King remained faithful to his Òthing of nonviolence.Ó He also explained that KingÕs message was one for all people, not just young black men, like Omokunde was when he first met him. ÒYou have to see the contributions that people have made to this world,Ó Omokunde responded when asked how to follow through with KingÕs work in todayÕs world. He also asked that people reflect on themselves and operate on KingÕs basis of love, courage, and truth. Omokunde will soon be the minister at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Milwaukee. He is currently the director of the Griffith Center for Arts and Life.
Almost 35 Carroll College students will be going to Colorado and Georgia with Habitat for Humanity this spring break to build homes for the needy. ÒThere are only a few places left,Ó said president of Habitat for Humanity at Carroll College, Mary Froemming She went on to say that, ÒIt is no accident we are going to Colorado this year.Ó Froemming loves to ski. Her position as trip coordinator last year allowed her some say in where this yearÕs trip would be. ÒWhere else can you get a one
week vacation for $175?Ó Froemming added. Froemming also loves to travel and this was one of the main reasons she joined Habitat for Humanity. Froemming continued with, ÒLast yearÕs Miami trip caused some students to get sunburn from lying at the beach for a full day.Ó Froemming pointed out, however, that itÕs not all just about fun and frolicking in the sun. ÒWhat makes it worthwhile is knowing that you are helping others at the same time.Ó The homes the group builds are basic two- or three-bedroom houses with no frills. StudentÕs who are interested in knowing more about Habitat for Humanity can contact Mary Froemming or Kirstin Regelin at x7490.
Greek Corner: Spring welcomes new faces BY ADAM RYGG Staff Writer ItÕs the start of another calendar year, and another great semester here at Carroll College. Let me be one of the many wishing you all a great spring and I hope that you all had a wonderful month off. Well, Greek Life at Carroll has been busy during the past few weeks. Every organization has new officers and, by the time you read this, most organizations will have new members. Names were unavailable at press time, but will be hopefully be included in the next issue. In my continuing effort to be informative, IÕll clue you all in on the new officers for the six Greek orgs on campus, including the Greek Council. YouÕll notice a lot of differing titles for the officers from chapter to chapter, but the majority of positions are comparable to those in other chapters.
