AND WE'RE OFF: Eastern Michigan University students clown a bit for a group photo before they scattered for their Alternative Spring Break (ASB) assignments. Eastern Michigan students have been participating in ASB since 1992. The trips are organized through the national organization, Break Away, and sponsored through VISION (Volunteers Incorporating Service into Our Neighborhoods), an EMU Campus Life program that promotes student community service.
