Alex Clark was laughing, but distraught. “I can’t believe this,” she groaned, covering her face with her hands. “We just made President Knapp clean a trash can.”
 
Ms. Clark, a freshman at the George Washington University, was helping clean and beautify the Edward C. Mazique Center as one of 2,100 volunteers participating in the school’s annual Freshman Day of Service on Saturday. At her side, George Washington University President Steven Knapp worked hard on the task.
