a two hour period, and shelters that
house men, women and children.
Phatsala Saysana, 05 Psychology.
has been a participant of Alternative

perspective. "The people I met and
became acquainted with brought out
another side of me, that I didn't
know existed."
Many participants of Alternative
Spring Break echo the same words
of praise. Protestant Campus
Ministries coordinator Kelly Shrout
defines it as a "life changing
experience. It changed mine the
first time I did it." Student response
has been overwhelming. The
Kansas trip is filled to capacity, hut
