SAULT STE. MARIE, MI (AP)--    Members of a college fraternity are on a roll between two of the largest cities in the Upper Peninsula. 

Tau Kappa Epsilon at Lake Superior State University is pushing a tub on wheels, from Marquette to Sault Ste. Marie. Fraternity members left Friday and hope to reach their destination by late afternoon or evening Saturday.

The red tub with three wheels is on a roughly 170-mile roll on highway M-28.

The fraternity is trying to raise money for St. Jude Children's Hospital.
