The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge's Organization of Residence Students (ORS) is holding another friendly Coulee Clean Up for on campus residents.

Rez Wars is a year-long friendly competition that awards sections of residence with points for their event winnings and energized involvement. Rez Wars stimulates a kind-hearted match and engages a large group of students with on campus social activities.

The Coulee Clean Up is set for Sunday, Sept. 24 at 2 p.m. Students will be given 45 minutes to hike through the coulee and pick up as much debris as possible. Debris collected by the participants will be divided into recycling and waste. The winning team will be determined by total volume collected.

"A major part of what we try to achieve here on campus is student engagement and social interaction. Rez Wars events have a great impact on the resident-wide involvement and interaction, which in turn provides a large sense of community here among on campus students," says Kyle Hammond, ORS President.

"We have a large group of high-spirited residents this year, and this event gives us the perfect opportunity to have everyone out to enjoy the last bit of fair weather while keeping our community green."

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge's Organization of Residence Students (ORS) will be stripping down to their skivvies and running around campus for charity this weekend.

ORS is hosting its second annual Underwear Affair Run/Walk, a two kilometre run/walk around campus on Saturday, Mar. 26 at Noon.

"The ORS has devoted a lot of time into developing philanthropy projects in the community and the Underwear Affair is our continuation of the groundwork laid by our dedicated team," says Kyle Hammond, ORS President.

Last year the event attracted over 70 participants and a total of $6,700 was raised and donated to World Vision. There is a $5 fee to participate in the event, with all money raised this year to be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

"Many people's lives have been affected by family or friends that have fought cancer and we feel that it is important to help raise awareness and funds for this issue to help those people in need," says Hammond.

The run will start in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Bus Loop, in front of the Students' Union Building. Participants will traverse the two-kilometre specified route and end at Patterson Centre where they will enjoy a barbecue and refreshments for their efforts.
