They still drop by to see the children. So do University Police officers, city firemen, Acadian Ambulance, librarians, and America Reads tutors. Cooper said campus organizations looking for community service projects will be welcomed with open arms. Recently, members of Southeastern's Pan-Hellenic Council pitched in to put on an Easter egg hunt for the children. Although the weather was less than cooperative, the children enthusiastically ferreted out colorful plastic eggs, first on the playground, then, when the rain ran them inside, in the classrooms and hallways.
Cooper is pleased with the program's first months.
