UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND STAFF COLLABORATE EFFORTS
FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE

       CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Oct. 28 --  The University of Virginia's
Alpha Phi Omega (APO) service fraternity and University facilities
management representatives will join forces Saturday, Oct. 30, from
9 a.m. until noon to clear brush along pedestrian routes.
       The brush will be cleared by 50 to 60 men and women along
several routes and will only be postponed in the event of heavy
rains:
       Behind Lambeth field residence area and south along the
railroad tracks
       In the woods between Hong Kong Restaurant and Lambeth field
residence area
       Along Emmet Street, between University Hall and the Child
Care Center 2(between                        Massie and Copeley Roads)
       Around the North Grounds Recreation Center
       APO, a nationally recognized service fraternity known for its
volunteer community work, selected this project because of its
importance to safety and security efforts at the University.
       Facilities management will provide tools, materials,
transportation and general guidance to assure safety compliance. 
"The work being done by the volunteer teams is important not just
from a money-saving perspective but even more important, perhaps,
for the peer respect and the teamwork it builds," said Jay Klingel,
director of work management.
       The brush clearing marks the first of several collaborative
efforts between APO and facilities        OVER
management.  A painting project on the Lawn and in the U.Va.
historic district is planned for Saturday, Nov. 20, while further
projects are being considered for next spring.
