West Virginia Universitys Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity will honor four students and one former student who recently died with a bell-ringing ceremony Friday, Sept. 1, on the Downtown Campus.

The service will begin at 11:50 a.m. in front of Elizabeth Moore Hall, a temporary location while renovations continue at Oglebay Hall.

In keeping with Alpha Phi Omegas bell-ringing tradition, members of the organization will ring the bell from the armored cruiser USS West Virginia at Oglebay Plaza in honor of:

• Dan Alleman, 20, a junior advertising major from Camp Hill, Pa. He died Aug. 8 as the result of a car accident.

• Brandon Coleman, 25, a former student from Keyser who was majoring in sociology and anthropology at WVU . He died July 13 from a bite from a pit bull.

• Jimmy Edmonds, 23, a junior English major. He passed away May 10 at his home in Germantown, Md.

• Kathleen Fortunato, 46, a Regents Bachelor of Arts student from Wheeling. She passed away from a stroke July 18.

• Kenneth Wolfe, 27, a sophomore business major from Masontown. He died Monday, Aug. 28, in a motorcycle accident.
