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. zations often refuse or are un- 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 We're here to h PLUS: Gifts, Children's Books, Bibles; Record & Sta epTHE THREE organizations, el p all non-profit and primarily tionery staffed by volunteers, offer services that other local organi- E 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. Kleinsmith.

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. - 1 t i i 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."
