It was a day of hauling clothes and helping a thrift store for members of the Rock Chalk Revue Advisory Board as they started their community service efforts yesterday.
Fifteen members of the 20-member advisory board participated in the United Way of Douglas County's Day of Caring, during which several campus organizations volunteered their time.
Annie Campbell, Shawnee senior and community service director for the advisory board, said more than 1,000 people from University organizations participated in this year's Day of Caring. That is a significant increase from last year's event, when there were 700 volunteers.
Board members carried bags of winter clothing from the top floor to the back yard of the Lawrence Social Service League Thrift Store on Ninth and Rhode Island streets, where they sorted them into men's, women's and children's piles.
"It's a real shot in the arm for the year-round staff, who are overworked to begin with," said K.T. Walsh, thrift store manager.
Walsh said the thrift store, which provides funding for shoes and eye exams for low-income Douglas County children, relies on 35 volunteers to operate.

Rock Chalk Revue is one of the largest student-run philanthropic events in the country, said John Laing, promotions coordinator for the advisory board. Participants in the revue volunteered for over 34,000 hours and raised $30,000 for the United Way of Douglas County in 1996.

MIDDLE RIVER, Md. — An F-117 stealth fighter performing at an air show crashed into two houses shortly after takeoff yesterday, setting the houses on fire and causing four minor injuries on the ground. The pilot ejected safely.
The Associated Press
The plane went down about 3:30 p.m. after taking off during a performance at the Chesapeake Air Show at the Glen Martin State Airport. Baltimore County Fire Capt. Steve Gisriel said the plane, which was carrying 11,000 pounds of fuel, crashed into two
houses and burned two cars at a condomarina complex on the Chesapeake Bay in the northeast Baltimore suburb. He said a man and three women at the complex had suffered only minor injuries. The pilot also was treated for minor back and neck injuries. Sharon Schuchardt was watching the air show from a boat and witnessed the crash.
"The plane was flying over, and the tail end just blew off," she said.
Gisriel said the fire was under control about an hour after the crash. According to an Air Force fact sheet, each F-117 costs $45 million.

- Tonight's Topic: "The Theotokos: True image of feminine spirituality."
Group unites multinational KU Christians
Orthodox Christians gather to worship, listen and learn
By Ryan Koerner

The Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) is striving to increase its capacity for membership and education in its second semester.
OCF was established by students last spring to provide a spiritual environment for Orthodox Christian students and to increase the awareness of Christian Orthodox beliefs on the University of Kansas campus.
The Rev. John Mack, an Orthodox priest from Topeka who serves as chaplain for OCF, said the group was an extension of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
"There is no substitute for the liturgical worship of the church, which is the focal point of our church." Mack said.
George Lazarou, Limassol, Cyprus, doctoral student and OCF president, said his group's membership was small but he hoped to see it grow after the group's first meeting of the semester, which will be tonight at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building.
OCF meets weekly for a prayer service, a lecture and a discussion session led by Mack.
Each lecture and discussion this semester will address an aspect of Ancient Feminine Spirituality, a theme chosen by Mack.
"Sometimes the women feel left out of the church," Lazarou said. "Women are not left out. They have the same importance to the church as men. That is why Father John decided to dedicate the whole semester to the woman."
Mack said he sensed that members of OCF were interested in learning about female spiritual role models of ancient history.
One benefit of OCF is the experience it provides for foreign students who are part of the Christian Orthodox religion. Mack said.
"It was brought to my attention that there were a lot of foreign students on campus who needed a relationship with an Orthodox priest like they had in their homeland," Mack said. "The one thing they have in common, their Orthodox faith, provides a home away from home for them."
By including students from all nations and backgrounds, Mack said, students at the University received more comprehensive, word-of-mouth education about Christian Orthodoxy.
