0 Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 5, 1W3O V The University of Michigan Union February 5 to February 11, 1990 I What Can YOU Do? The life of a student is a busy one. But, somewhere in between the exams, papers, basketball games and parties, there's a good chance you might have the time to help someone else. You can tutor illiterate adults, rock babies in the children's hospital, work in a shelter for the homeless, become a big brother or sister...the possibilites are endless. S.E.R.V.E. works with stu- dents in various ways by providing on-going volunteer place- ments, one-time service projects, information about campus and community social action groups, independent study and research opportunities, and a special elderly outreach program. Whether you have an hour a month or an hour a week, S.E.R.V.E. can help you find a volunteer experience that is both interesting and rewarding. For more information (and to volunteer!) please call the S.E.R.V.E. office at 936-2437, or stop by 2211 Michigan Union. NOTE: February is National Wellness Month: volunteers are needed for planned events throughout the month. Contact S.E.R.V.E. for more information.

You will even be able to learn some of the details on how jazz works and how jazz musicians make it all happen during a half- hour FREE workshop. Stop by and have a great time listening to some more of the Detroit area's best jazz musicians! 0 A Glimpse into Another Life The February issue of "The Criminal Justice and Chemical Dependency Chronicle: Students and Coordinators Write About Their Project Community Experiences" is available today in the Project Community Office. The following is an excerpt from the February issue, written by Clear House and Growth Works student volunteer coordinator Kathleen Doherty. As far as site is concerned, I want to remember Rachel telling me about all her past experiences-ones I'd only read about. Needing to stay in an abusive relationship (or any boy-girl relationship for that matter), trouble in school because of trouble at home, wanting to commit suicide, run- ning away, sex for love. People are really behind every one of those statistics that I read and that is alarming. I want to remember my feeling of being overwhelmed-how can any one person have so many problems? I want to remember the trailer she is living in--a home the size of what some people camp in for a weekend. How can you get privacy in a place so small and in a neighborhood that is so scary and beaten? Project Community offers over 30 site placements in Chemi- cal Dependency, Criminal Justice, Education, and Health Care. Stop by our office at 2205 Michigan Union or call us at 3-3548 for more information. Project Community: where your learning makes a difference.
