Clubs around Keuka are holding two dances in the next week that are open to the public. If you feel like dressing up like the opposite sex, or even just seeing other people do it, go to the Kings and Queens dance Friday (Nov. 6) at 9 p.m. in the Geiser. This dance is sponsored by GSU.

If you’re in the mood to learn a little bit about relationships, including when they are unhealthy and what you can do if a friend is a part of an unhealthy relationship consider attending the Red Light Green Light Dance on Tuesday (Nov. 10). Students should dress in red if they consider themselves “taken” and green if they consider themselves “looking”. The dance is sponsored by the Peer Counselors and begins at 8 p.m. in the Corning Room.

The bottle cap craze is in full force on campus. Student are collecting bags and bags of plastic bottle tops. They retrieve them from trash cans or steal water bottles from their next door neighbors. The reason? The caps are helping a young girl survive.

Junior George Loux is the student behind the bottle cap craze. He launched it at the beginning of the semester to help a young girl near his hometown who is in dire need of kidney dialysis. For every 250 caps that are collected and shipped to her hometown of Hazelton, Pa., she receives a free kidney dialysis. Loux told many of his peers about this idea and many have stepped up to the plate, collecting caps everywhere they see an empty plastic bottle. It’s now a campus-wide mission.

Resident directors in each residence have taken responsibility for bagging the bottle caps collected in their buildings. with each of your RAs. So, keep collecting those bottle caps and help this girl realize a bright future that hopefully will include college.
