Stop dby c4 *om e lt the sraf help yun Projet Caomunhty Founded in 1961 by a group of students, Project Commu- nity evolved into a service-learning course in the mid-70's. It combines service in the community and academic learning consisting of weekly seminars, readings, journal writing, and an integrative paper. The weekly service in the community provides the context that gives meaning to the readings and seminar discussions, and the academic learning informs the service. The result is a rich educa- tional experience. Fall 1994 Sections 1nfQo'wation/Gonfiation Meetings Soc 389 Project Community 4 Health and Special Populations Wmen's Issues Education!

Pro ject SERVE ciZsens can sang' a ri77 ; W need 7Yn~rc a or lria de aer rae *Mane~ Acad Welcome to Project SERVE and to the community of students who are involved in service and social action at the University of Michigan. Across the country, college students are rolling up their sleeves and becoming personally involved in their community. The student service movement is building. Students are working together with their commu- nities to address community problems. Students at the University of Michigan are no exception. They have made a commitment to becoming aware of the needs and challenges of both the local and global communi- ties. They have made a commitment to take action. They work at nursing homes, soup kitchens, and community centers. They tackle the issues of homelessness, literacy, poverty, violence and the environment. They work with children, pregnant teens, people who are physically challenged and senior adults. They also work to encourage their fellow students to become involved. By heightening awareness, increasing community involvement, and raising social consciousness, we are striving toward solutions to the problems that face our community. If you are interested in being involved with Project SERVE, please come to one of our mass meetings, September 19 or 20, at 7:00pm in Angell Hall, Aud B. Student Activities and Leadership (SAL) "GET INVOLVED!" is the call every day at Student Activities and Leadership (SAL). Formerly the Student Organization Development Center (SODC), S-A-L will continue to provide the programs and services you've grown accustomed to.

The Services include organizational consultation, work- shops, diag scheduling, and organizational resource center.

You can make an appointment to meet with one of the staff or just stop by. The doors are open from 8am-5pm, we look forward to working with you! Back in the early '70s, WAR ruled the land. With their latin-derived beats, deeply funky basslines and spiky horns, WAR shaped the way funk and R&B bands sounded for the next two decades. Slowly but surely, they amassed an impressive collection of classic singles - hits like "The World is a Ghetto," "Why Can't We Be Friends?," "All Day Music," "Gypsy Man," "Spill the WIne" and the immortal "Low Rider." Eclectic funk fusions weren't that hip in the '80s, but as the '90s rolled around, WAR became hip again. This year, WAR's momentum has kept snowballing, with the release of a new record, "Peace Sign," and a successful tour, which is highlighted by headlining the Saturday night show of the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival at Gallup Park this weekend. Tickets are available either for the Saturday performance ($13.50 in advance for one day or $15 at the gate; it's only $10 if you have a student ID) or the entire festival (a mere $50).

Frontman Mr. Manson recog- nizes the hypocrisy of himself and the entire entertainment industry, and ends up being all the more palatable because of it. Speaking of palatable, the son "Cake and Sodomy" is a wonderfuU example of the combination of evil and silliness. Take the imagery of the title. Disturbingorlaughable? Why not both? "Yeah, right, great if you're so good, explain the shit stains on your face" is a lyric that weasels its way between the two and makes this band quite a bit better than they would be if they were simply evil. Anyway, this twisted collection o dark dreams and insane Saturday morn- ing tabloid TV is pretty spiffy. - Ted Watts Patti LaBelle Gems MCA Records The queen diva herself, Ms. Patti LaBelle, is back, and after one sitting with her newest release, there's onli one question that will pop into your mind. Is there anything this woman can't sing? "Gems" is good from beginning to end. It is an excellent testament to Patti's well publicized vocal prowess. From her relatively fast paced songs, like "RightKindaLover" to slow songs (which initially made "Patti" a house- hold word) like "I'm in Love" and " Never Stopped Loving You," the 12 cutsof"Gems" will tickleyour eardums and mellow out your mind. "Gems" also includes a beautiful remake of the 1982 El DeBarge hit, "All This Love." Patti is the queen, and "Gems" is pure gold. Plain and simple. - Eugene Bowen Mayo Thompson Corky's Debt to His Father The Red Krayola The Red Krayola Drag City A double-doseofone of pop music's weirdest fringe acts, Mayo Thompson. The leader of the Red Krayola and the producer of the Raincoats' first album these two discs are representative of his quirky, often charming output. "Corky's Debt" is a reissue of a 1970 release that mixes folk, blues and whimsical lyrics and predates the suc- cesses of hip folkies like Beck and the Palace Brothers. Tracks like "The Les- son," "Oyster Thins," and "Worried Worried" are catchy enough to keep one listening and odd enough to keep. - you guessing. "The Red Krayola" is the latest release from the legendary, chaotic band that pioneered art-punk in the '60s and '70s. Titles like "Jimmy Silk/ Supper Be Ready Medley," "Rapspierre," and "Words, Worms, Thirst" and lyrics like "I want more green on red" are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the eccentricity thatisRedKrayola. While "The Red Krayola" seems to be too weird and skronky to be listenable, theE songs quickly grow familiar and even- tually catchy. Both of these Mayo Th- ompson releases are heartily recom- mended to the musically adventurous. - Heather Phares Various Artists Trance Planet, Vol. 1 Triloka Records An awe-inspiring look into the world of traditional, mostly third-world music, "Trance Planet" is a must-get CD for 1994. When you play this CD, you won't hear any rap or rock or R&B or country music. Instead, you will be captivated by the music of the ancients and their cultures-the music from which all modern sounds are derived. Listen as music from, what we view as, lands worlds away from own- places like Pakistan, Morocco and Calcutta-causes your heart to race while simultaneously, it soothes your soul into utter serenity. "Trance Planet" exemplifies what music, in its ideal form, should be. By taking us back to a time when music was born, not from a capitalist longing for money (from which anything re- motely like music emerged), but rather@ from the needs of men and women to express their inner feelings and emo- tions in a way that conversation could never achieve. This CD proves that music is definitely the universal lan- &A"A C o~piny doesn't hae o be a pain -in t-he neck.'. On Friday, September 16, 1994, from 11:00am to 4:00pm, the largest student organization festival on campus will again take place on the Diag. Everyone who attended Festifall'93 knows that it was a great success with over 240 groups participating, displaying their talents and resources in booths and activities. Festifall is an excellent way to recruit new members and publicize your organization. The pre-registration period is over. Please register in the Student Activities and Leadership Office 2202 Michigan Union. The registration fee will be $17.00 for each space and your organization will NOT be on the Festifall map or in the Festifall publicity. There will be free soda pop, music, and roving entertainment, creating a carnival-like atmosphere. We encourage your organization or department to make its own booth or display table. You can participate in a variety of ways. Students are encouraged to attend to see the many ways they can become involved outside of the classrooms. Groups have the option of circulating around the Diag and stopping to perform in various locations. Organizations that might be interested in this option are: jugglers, mimes, magicians, dancers, etc. Please make sure to indicate your perfor- mance interest on the registration form. Entertainment on the Grad steps or center of the Diag is scheduled on a first- come, first-serve basis. Please be specific about the time requested and the type of entertainment provided. Groups requesting amplification, please note that amplification is only allowed from the hours of 12:00pm-2:00pm. Tables and booths will be set up on the Diag in designated areas. Each group using a table is expected to decorate it appropriately. Please note: tables must be staffed at all times and cannot be enclosed on all sides. Call the SAL office at 763-5900 or Campus Information Center at 763-INFO if on September 16 it is raining, or there is a chance of inclement weather. A decision to postpone the event will be made by 7:30am, if necessary. We hope that you will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to spotlight your organization or department. All you need to do is creatively design a booth and provide the people to staff it. We look forward to your continued participation in this campus-wide event. { i" F t . y <'., 1.. ; (excepi for giraffes) yI Art EzbIb ts Q An exhibit by local painter Gladys Shirley will be hung on the NCC Gallery Wall.
