ROBERTS CHAPEL

Vice President says roof to be installed by end of December By Rachel Brown Executive Editor Despite the semester winding down, work on Roberts Chapel continues at its normal pace, despite facing several obstacles. According to Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Roy Barnhart, construction on the Chapel is five days behind schedule because of utility locations. “The contractor couldn’t control when the utility companies could move the underground lines that they needed to move,” he said. “The contractor is hopeful to make up for the delay over the next few months.” With the official start of winter almost one month away, Barnhart said that the contractor plans to continue to work on the

Chapel throughout the winter months. Roof tresses will be delivered next week, and the roof should be completed by Christmas, which will allow construction to continue. “If the roof is done in December, they’ll be able to start working on the windows and the steeple,” Barnhart said. “They’ll also be working on the electrical and mechanical system in the basement.” In addition to completing the roof, the contractor also has several other tasks to finish before the first big snowfall. According to Barnhart, the contractor is the process of pouring concrete for the main floor of the Chapel to soundproof the basement. Barnhart also said the first layer of

Many organizations are giving back by helping people in Greene County find a warm meal. Waynesburg University students have also had an impact in the commuSee CHAPEL on A3 nity during the Thanks-

giving season. Junior Leeann Danley and sophomore Evan Kephart are currently site leaders for the St. Ann’s Catholic Church Good Neighbor Dinner and helped conduct a special Thanksgiving dinner Tuesday night, according to Dave Calvario, director

of the Center for Service Leadership. “Being a site leader at St. Ann’s has meant a lot to me,” Kephart said. “I have met a ton of wonderful people and been blessed by working with some of the most awesome students on campus.”

Kephart became involved with St. Ann’s last year when he visited the site as part of his Bonner scholarship training. One of the students who helped lead the dinners last year asked if Kephart would want to See STUDENTS on A2

Students ‘eradicate ignorance’ during fall break service trips By Alex Hinton Staff Writer Most students are anxious to get home for Thanksgiving break to relax and spend time with their families and friends, but this is not the case for 38 Waynesburg University students, who will spend their fall break doing mission work in Patzun, Guatemala, Philippi, W. Va and

Greene County. Dave Calvario, director for the Center for Service Leadership will lead five students on the 5-day mission trip to Philippi, W.Va. “Generational poverty is high there,” Calvario said. “There is a lack of good paying jobs, so families haven’t had the resources to keep up house payments.” They will be doing housing repair work and

will combine their services with World Servants for the fourth year. “We’re going the first week of hunting season in West Virginia, so kids will be home,” said Calvario. “We get to know them and share stories with them. Relationship building is just as important as the actual construction.” The students will also work with Rustin Seaman from World Vision, who

leads volunteers in manufacturing solar panels for alternative fuels to help families save money. “The best way to raise awareness is students who participate telling their friends,” Calvario said. “A lot don’t like to participate because it’s outside their comfort zone or they don’t have the money, sometimes it See MISSION on A3
