Chicago College Students Embark on National Road Trip for Charity Challenge

            Chicago Residents Invited to Attend Kick-off Event

  What:  What do a Russian speaking sorority girl, a jazz studies major and
         an aspiring broadcast journalist all have in common?  They're all
         Northwestern University (NU) students who will be representing
         Chicago and competing against student teams from Boston College and
         Texas Christian University in the Dodge High Caliber Challenge.

         On Monday, June 5, Chicago residents are invited to send off the
         three students from NU as they kick-off their five-day charity road
         trip challenge in the all-new 2007 Dodge Caliber from their
         collegiate town of Chicago.  Dodge will give away 500 free music
         downloads from Global Music Project to raise $10,000 for Doctors
         Without Borders.

         The event will entail:

         -- Music Downloads - Beginning in Chicago, the NU team will visit
            an additional three cities on their way to Miami where they will
            give away 500 free music downloads from
            http://www.globalmusicproject.org/ at each local event
         -- A Donation - For each song downloaded in Chicago, Dodge will
            donate $1 to Doctors Without Borders on the team's behalf
         -- School Spirit - Everyone who attends can show their support for
            the Chicago team by decorating their Dodge Caliber with good
            luck notes and well wishes
