TCEM Students Voyage to Wisconsin...
By: Courtney Voelkel

As summer draws near, many of the TCEM and Physical Education students are anxiously awaiting their trip to Camp Brosius, located in Elkhart Lake
Wisconsin. For some it will be their first voyage, and yet for others it will be a return visit to the deeply-rooted camp.

What will they have in store? Camp fires? Early mornings? Warm weather? Freezing weather? Sinking boats? —No one knows.

However, there are a few things that are certain...

While at Camp Brosius new friendships will be made, hard work will be done, and surprises will be uncovered.

The camp is held May l6t~~ through the 24th, during which three TCEM classes will be held. During the time at Camp Brosius, each class will be responsible for different activities.

TCEM 306 (The Business Plan), directed by Dr. Sotiris Avgoustis, will be devising ideas such as marketing plans for the camp. TCEM 310 (Special Event Management), headed by Dr. Linda Brothers, will be arranging activities and themes for all of the campers to enjoy. Finally, the TCEM 291 class (Quantity Food Production and Service Lab), headed by Mr. Jim Bennett, will be preparing virtually all of the meals for the campers.

There are many other important players helping to make the trip to Camp Brosius a success. Some of these key individuals include: Dean Nick Kellum, Mr. Matt Rota-Autry, Mr. Mark Urtel, and many others.

The summer of 2001, will mark the 7th year for students to voyage to dear Camp Brosius. With teamwork and good attitudes, we hope to continue the wonderful experiences the camp has to offer!

SECURITY REMINDER...
By: Jim Bennett

IUPUI is fortunate enough to be in a location accessible to the major student market it serves. Being an “open” campus, this accessibility includes those individuals not connected with university business. While our campus is considered safe by most standards, there have been a few unfortunate incidents involving robbery and assault that have occurred on campus since the fall semester began last August. Students, staff, and faculty are reminded to use good judgment when going to and from their vehicles to class. Walking with a friend or in small groups is a good deterrent for potential problems. This is especially true for those taking night classes or who park in remote sections of campus.

IUPUI provides an escort service to vehicles for those who feel their safety might be compromised. The contact number is 274-SAFE (7233). Also, if anyone believes a crime has occurred or they see anything suspicious, call the IUPUI police at 274-7911.

OFF TO CHICAGO!

On April 7, the Tourism and Hospitality Society (THS) of the TCEM Department is planning a trip to Chicago. They plan to meet with both the Travel Director and Marketing Director of the Chicago White Sox baseball team. Following this meeting, THS members will take in the baseball game between the White Sox and Detroit Tigers!

This outing is a reward for all the hard work THS members accomplished during the fund-raisers scheduled during this year.
