Center runs varied programs
By JEFF SORENSEN
"We're helping the counter-
culture take care of itself,"
says Robin Giber, a worker at
the William St. Community
Center.
The center, located at 621 E.
William, is a loose coalition of
three special community service
organizations: O z o n e House,
Drug Help and the Community
Project.

able to give.
The four - year - old Ozone
House, which is funded by the
city and given a grant by the
National Institute of Mental'
Health, p r o v i d e s counseling
services for families and run-
aways.
Ozone considers the act of
running away as potentially con-
structive and strives to open up
lines of communication between
the runaway and his or herr
parents.
"We try to avoid looking at
the situation through the eyes
of the police and the authori-
ties," states Ozone staffer Cindy

The Community Center Pro-
ject, newest of the three organ-
izations, includes several educa-
tional and informational pro-
grams such as the Ride Switch-'
board, the Community Switch-
board and the Creative Arts
Workshop.
THE WORKSHOP offers about
225 classes per semester in
practical arts (like fixing bi-
cycles and stereos) and per-
sonal growth (such as yoga or,
astrology). It also offers . free
studio time to local artists.
"We work on the principle
that everyone is a nartist, that
this creativity just needs to be
tapped," says Giber. "Hope-
fully, the workshop will expand
to the point where we can
create a free university as an
alternative to the University of
Michigan," she says.
The Community Switchboard
(6634111) takes calls Monday
through Saturday from 1 p.m. to
10 p.m. and provides informa-
tion on community organizations
and happenings. The switch-
board collects and updates in-
formation on cultural events,
community services and also
focuses on information about
local food and vegetable co-ops.
"The switchbbard is attempt-
ing to provide a sort of Whole
Earth Catalogue for Ann Ar-
bor," explains Giber.
LAST, BUT not least of the
three organizations at the cen-
ter, is Drug Help (761-HELP),
which operates a 24-h6ur crisis
phone line staffed by trained
personnel who can be sent out
to deal with problems that can-
not be handled over the phone.
Drug Help also conducts short
and intermediate-term d r u g
counseling for families and in-
dividuals.
Drug Help worker Gave Bur-
pee reports that in the past
three years the number of ser-
ious cases the group has, han-,
died has declined remarkaoly.
"People are apparently learning
how to handle drug problems
for themselves much better,"
she says.
FORMERLY associated with
the center, the Free People's
Clinic offices, now located at
225 E. Liberty, makes medical
referrals by phone (761-8952)
by finding services -that match
the callers' needs and budget.
The clinic also operates some
medical facilities to handle
services often too expensive at
local hospitals.

If sitting in an uncomfort-
able desk listening to an unin-
spired lecturer drone on about
the relationship between bowel
habits and personality doesn't
appeal to you as much as gar-
nering your psychology credits
through actual field work, then
Project Community may be just
the thing for you.
Offered, through the sociology,'
psychology and economics de-
partments, Project; Community
offers experience in child care,
tutoring, inmate counseling,
community services and income
taxes. Each program carries
from one to four credits.
PROJECT Community began
15 years ago as a tutorial pro-
gram aimed at helping black
students in Ann Arbor. The pro-
gram was so successful that the
University appropriated money
and incorporated the project'
into its, Office of Student Serv-
ices.
When first initiated, the pro-
gram relied heavily on volun-
teers because course credit was
not offered until 1970.
Project Coordinator Maria
Tenorio believes that offering
credits gives students an incen-
tive and exacts a stronger com-
mittment from them.

ORIGINALLY, the program
sponsored 15 projects, but now
carries only five because, ac-
cording to Tenorio, "we want-
ed to concentrate more on qual-
ity than quantity."
Students enrolled in the pro-.
gram usually devote between
four and six hours a week to;
their field work.
