Dr. Beth Horsburgh, Dean of Nursing, is rounded up and thrown behind bars as part of 'Campus Incarceration' for Arthritis research. From left, Chemistry student Travis Besanger and Nutrition student Angela Clatworthy organized the event as part of their involvement in the "Joints in Motion" group supporting the Arthritis Society. Next, Angela's dad, Wayne Clatworthy, served all day as the judge, imposing bail on the crooks. And Security Services Special Constable Darren Funk worked all day going to offices and arresting the bad guys. Angela and Travis report they had tremendous support from many people and units on campus. Security Services donated t-shirts, the U of S Students' Union donated use of the Upper-MUB room for the "jail" location, and Prairie Mobile/SaskTel Mobility donated use of cell phones for the day, for the criminals to call their friends and co-workers seeking pledges for bail. The day-long event raised just under $5,000 for the Arthritis Society to pursue treatment, prevention, and a cure for the disease. The jailers report they locked up 38 people, and had another 14 make donations. The jailbirds challenged each other to see who could raise the most money, and the winner personally raised $590. Next highest was $540. Travis and Angela say the event took them a month of preparation, but was well worth it. They're both fourth-year students, so won't likely be on campus next year, but they hope the initiative continues.
