However, each year a select group of Bryant students take it upon themselves to give their time during spring break to help the less fortunate through the Alternative Spring Break program. The students are travelling to Washington D.C. where they will volunteer at three differ- ent organizations for the week while staying at the Washing- ton Retreat House.

The commi8ee is split up into three different groups. It contains the execu- tive board with Stephanie Kirk as the games director, Nick Mancuso as assistant games director, and Chris Hopkins the Special Olympics Rhode Island representative. The next group is the core directors; these students are responsible for managing a specific task during game day. Lastly, the chair group is as- signed very specific jobs within the tasks that the core directors are responsible for. For example, there is an awards chair, registration chair, and fundraising co- chair. The meetings are held on Wednesday nights, which are generally open to commit- tee only, and the event will take place on Saturday, April 24th at the Bryant track. During the day of games there will be an array of events in which the partici- pants can partake. These events consist of both track and field events. Track events include the twenty-five meter motorized wheelchair race, the 3000 meter run, and the four by one hundred meter relay. Some of the field events include the so7ball throw, and the shot put. When asked what type of events will be held during the Special Olympics, games di- rector Stephanie Kirk put it best when she said, “All of these events, both track and field, are favorites of the Bryant students, as they all re- quire hands on work with the athletes, which is many com- mi8ee members’ favorite as- pect of the game, including mine!” With all the planning and events that go into and occur on the Special Olympics game day, it not only takes a lot of work and effort by the com- Stewart Cheatwood saw opportunity, found a mentor mi8ee, but the school as well.

Kevin Mandeville, creative director for Bounce Web Solutions, a web development company, has found it before even leaving school. Kevin, a junior at Bryant, is an entrepreneur who has developed multiple websites and is currently working on several others. A communications major and a marketing minor, Kevin works to balance the effort that goes into his business and his work as a normal college stu- dent. Kevin’s passion for entrepreneurship began in high school. He ran a website called StreetballOnline.com which received (MCT Campus) 400,000 hits a year. The website was the main media channel during the surge of interest in streetball. The perks of that job were exciting: courtside seats to various games in Boston, New York City, and Providence. It was this website that sparked The Student Entrepreneur: Kevin’s interest in web design and becoming an entrepreneur. Coming in to college, Kevin joined Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization (CEO). He says the group “made me realize that I did not have to wait to launch my business ideas until I was Asking for help older”. Through the group, he a6ended a conference in When I was launching Eddie’s Energy Bars sultant for Ben & Jerry’s and Burton among Chicago, which led to the connection that would help further in high school, I had no idea what I was doing. other notable companies.

By Luke Bornheimer Contributing Writer Earlier today, I received an email from a friend trying to find an iPhone app that would help her organize and track her per- sonal expenses and budget. She's not alone either...with over 150,000 apps in the App Store, many people are le4 to wonder, "Which apps are actually worth it?" In fact, many of those who I know, don't buy apps, probably due in some part to the possi- bility that their money will be wasted on an app that wasn't worth the money. Well I'm here to slightly solve this dilemma... Apple has a page showcasing the best apps for various tasks, both free and paid, in the App Store called Apps for Everything. Among other topics, Apple features an apps page for Managing Money, offering owners a guide to the best budg- eting, bill reminder, and business expense apps. Other cate- gories offered on Apple's site are Apps for cooks, keeping current, the great outdoors, music, work, students, moms and dads, working out, going out, and traveling. Looking specifically at the Managing Money section, I was reminded of an app that I use both on my iPhone as well as on my computer. The app, Mint.com Personal Finance, synchro-
