Bug Power

How many engineering students does it take to push a Volkswagen beetle around Ring Road? Lots . . . especially if the pushing lasts 24 hours. This year’s engineering students society Bug Push organizer Gabriel Bowers (right) and fellow student Greg Powell take a break while other ESS members practice their technique. The fundraiser for the United Way campus campaign begins today (Oct. 1) at 9 a.m. in front of the Student Union Building and ends 24 hours later. Donations to the campaign can be made throughout the Push at the SUB or by calling the ESS at 721-8822. Assisting Bowers with this year’s Push are: Dave Black, Chris Ross, Megan Howell-Jones, T.J. Drennan, Andrew Preston and the association of student automotive engineers. They hope to raise $4,000.
