Abstract
The student clubs of all the departments housed in the Physical Sciences Building at Eastern Illinois University united in November of 1996 for a worthy, philanthropic cause and some friendly competition. The Psychology, Physics, Geoscience, and Chemistry Clubs held a coin war to raise money for the Charleston Food Pantry. Each club earned points from the money placed in their department;s container. Pennies placed in a container counted as positive points whereas all other coins and bills counted as negative points. Point values equaled the face value of the money. During the two-day event, students, staff, and faculty showed tremendous spirit and support for their departments. A total of $122.81 was collected, including over $60 in pennies alone. Every cent of the money collected went to the food pantry to help feed needy families during the holiday season.
