fundraiser.
“We’re helping people and raising aware
ness in our members,” Parish said. “This
cause becomes something that the girls can
commit to for the rest of their lives.”
ZTA member and senior elementary edu
cation major Julie Gassiraro said her grand
mother’s struggle with breast cancer was a
trying time for her family, but her grand
mother overcame the obstacle.
“Breast cancer awareness as Zeta Tau
Alpha’s philanthropy project is a strong fac
tor in why 1 chose to be a member,"
Gassiraro said. “To be able to raise the
amount of money we do every year has a
very rewarding feeling.”
According to its Web site, the Komen
Foundation was founded in 1982 by Nancy
Brinker after her sister Susan died of
breast cancer in 1978 at the age of 36.
Since then, the Komen Foundation has
raised more than $450 million for
research. The foundation is most famous
for its Race for the Cure, which began in
1983 in Dallas with 800 participants. It is
now the largest 5K run/fitness walk in the
world with 112 races annually in the
|g of them.

The foundation uses the money im

official said.
American officials have not verified bin Laden’s whereabouts
this year. The last certain evidence bin Laden was alive was a video-
tape of him having dinner with some of his deputies, which is
believed to have been filmed on Nov. 9, 2001.
Audio recordings are easier to make than videotapes which could
reveal whether bin Laden is injured, has significantly altered his
looks, or is in a vulnerable location that could be given away in a
video appearance.
In September, the Al-Jazeera network aired voice recordings of
bin Laden and top al-Qaida operatives. The CIA authenticated bin
Laden's voice then, but officials said the recordings probably

Rumors that Reveille had been injured

jumped 10-12 feet off of the YMCA building
at the Victory Yell and then proceeded to
run an additional 20 feet, Caddick said.
Reveille was taken to a veterinary clinic and
examined for any injuries, but none were
found.
