Big names like Leonard Bernstien, the Grateful Dead, and the Smurfs on Ice bypass our big brother to the east, Detroit, to come to our tree laden metropolis. The face of Ann Arbor has changed greatly since I first arrived in the fall of 1986 (for you new stu- dents that was back when you didn't have a driver's liscence). Gone are Kresge's, the Wolverine Den, Rax, Burger Fresh, most of Tally Hall, the State Theater, the Campus The- ater, Sneakers and Cleats, Tubby's, Pantree, Denny's, and University Cellar but now we have Espresso Royale, Chef Jan's China Gate, Ur- ban Outfitters, Hop 'In, Michigan Book and Supply, and 1000 places to buy falafel. Soon I will say farwell to this town that has nurtured me for the last 1300 or so days of my life. There's plenty to miss. I could fill this space with advice like, appreciate your college years in this wonderful town, or take advan- tage of all the most excellent things Ann Arbor has to offer, but that stuff is par for the course. So again I will implore you to follow this one peice of advice - pay those parking tickets. -Alex Gordon YPSI Continued from page 8 sports teams who appear on the tube here. Cub's AC offers reasonable prices and beer glasses that many pa- trons are tempted to turn into collec- tor's items. While many students don't have the self-confidence to admit they en- joy bowling, Cub's AC has been known to make converts to the sport. The pop-a-shot game here is the best in the metro Detroit area, and food is served until closing. If you don't have a car at your disposal, the above alternatives are probably not real options. However, Ann Arbor's Main Street strip which hosts QUALITY BAR, CITY GRILL, and FULL MOON - all good choices -is within walking distance. But be forewarned, the crowds become older the further north one travels on Main Street. For the Michigan student looking for a night at the bar it's important to remember, there are more options than first meet the eye. LAW Continued from page 7 The vote amended the city's code such that if the state of Michigan ever passes legislation making it illegal to perform an abortion, the fine in Ann Arbor for such an offense will be set at five dollars. The new legislation is yet untested. -This story was compiled, in part, from Daily files. EATS Continued from page 9 DOMINICK'S See "Good Time Charley's" and "O'Sullivan's" above. Dominick's is more of a mid-afternoon sophisti- cated bar, rather than the "get-roar- ing-drunk-and-scam-with-a-member- of-the-opposite-sex" type of bar.

Too much class. Howard is the director of the University's "service-learning" pro- gram, Project Community. Estab- lished 30 years ago by students at- tempting to effect social change in the Ann Arbor area, today Project Community strives to get students out of classrooms and into action. Since it's beginning in 1960, Project Community has grown to include three different programs. "Think back on your college classes, and ask yourself how many you've been satisfied with," said Howard in a recent interview. "If you Mason jars? On Monroe across from the Law Library. THE MUG The New Deal of the 1990s. Ann Arbor socialism reaches new heights with the Michigan Union Grill, a rag-tag collection of restaurants that each pay about 10 students to stand around all day waiting for customers and sneaking bites of food. Many people come, order a large soft drink, and spend the next 8 hours studying in the expansive seat- ing area nearby. Very few people, on the other hand, gather their families and drive in from neighboring com- munities for the rare treat of a MUG rib-burger. The rumor mill would have us believe that the Little Caesar has dispatched a legion to invade one or more of the restaurant spots; look forward to that. Located in the base- ment of the Michigan Union. answered anything over fifty percent then you're an exception." "We at Project Community be- lieve that some of the most impor- tant learning occurs outside of the classroom," he added. Project Community's original program is an academic course, comprised of part volunteer work, part classroom discussion and part writing that students take for two credits. The class, listed under Soci- ology 389 or Education 317, is also called Project Community. The volunteer work for the course takes place in any of four different fields: education, health care, crimi- nal justice and chemical dependency. Within those fields students are able to choose from a variety locations they wish to work at. The second program Project Community operates is called SERVE. SERVE is an acronym for Students in Educationally Rewarding Volunteer Experiences. Established two years ago, Howard describes SERVE as a "information and refer- ral clearinghouse". "Serve is useful for people who come in here and say, 'Look, I don't want to sign up for the course, I just want to help runaway teens,"' ex- plained Howard, referring to one of the areas in which students can vol- unteer. Students participating in SERVE earn no credit, in fact, the program does little more than place students who want to volunteer their time and effort towards helping others in one of SERVE's more than 50 locations. The Trained Volunteer Corps (TVC) is the third program under the auspices of Project Community. The Project Community attempts to reach out to the Ann Arbor community. The four different areas of specialization are education, health care, criminal .6 Mr. Stadium Coin Laundry and Dry Cleaning Service The Home of the Clean Machines Welcomes you to U of M.

TVC was established last spring after the Kellogg foundation selected Project Community as one of the winners of a $151,000 grant intended for public service. "This is going to appeal to those students really committed to ser- vice," said Howard of Project Com- munity's newest program. TVC won't officially begin until winter term 1991, but the prepara- tion to give the program a successful launch will last all fall term. "We will recruit students to start up each of our four divisions during the fall, so we can be ready to go in the winter," said Howard. Each of TVC's four divisions will work with a different group of people including: homeless, elderly, at risk youth, and illiterate adults. Students enrolled in TVC will be able to take the program on a credit or non-credit basis. Howard said he expects about 120 students, ranging from those in their first-year to se- niors, to participate in the TVC. While the grant money will only nourish the new program for a lim- ited time, Howard hopes TVC will, not fade away. "We want to create a self-sustain- ing group," he said. "We will give them a structure and train the leaders so that it (TVC) will continue to operate well into the future." While Project Community is now firmly entrenched at the Univer- sity, its status has not always been as assured. "Only a few years ago Project Community felt on the margin of the mission of the University," said Howard, "now we are looked at as a model. "Just the other day I spoke with President Duderstadt, in passing, and he mentioned to me that he would like to see 50% student participatio* in Project Community," he added. "It was a totally unprovoked and unsolicited comment. That says something to me about the com- mitment the University is making to interactive learning." The addition of two new pro- grams to Project Community's repertoire is indicative of not only the success of the University's pros gram, but also of a growing trend"T toward interactive learning across the country. While Michigan, Berkley, a few other large state schools, and some private religious schools are gener- ally acknowledged as leaders in inter- active learning programs according to Howard, he said that today, many schools of all types are developin similar programs. And all the hard work performed by Project Community's volunteers does not seem to go unnoticed. "It's a very enthusiastic response we get," said Howard. "These are students providing services not available otherwise. There just are not that many people around to do things like this."
