College groups plan to spend spring break on Gulf (AP)

MADISON, Wis. – Some Wisconsin college students are heading south for spring break, but not to play on the beach. They’re heading to the Gulf Coast to help people there recover from Hurricane Katrina.

More than 100 students sponsored by the environment consumer group WISPIRG will work with Habitat for Humanity to clear away homes in New Orleans March 11-19.
