Carolyn Williams, the sales floor supervisor for Goodwill Industries Inc. in Houghton, was also putting some 23 volunteers to work doing everything from sorting and hanging clothes, to raking and weeding, to cleaning the bathrooms.

Brandon Tenner and his fellow Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers were busy racking clothes, though Tenner admitted his motives were not entirely altruistic.
"We buy a lot of stuff here, so we wanted to eye up all the new merchandise," he said.
Adam Sohasky, sporting a jaunty wizard's hat, said he chose the Goodwill project because of its universal need.
"It really gets out there, and the people here are really organized," he said.
No wonder the MTU folks are such natty dressers.
