LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 15, 1998 - 7 HOUSING *tinued from Page 1 )We're full, Tompkins said. "We've accommodated most students on the housing waiting list, taking the new stu- dents first." EMT J's housing office knew the class sizes would increase, she said. "We've expected this growth rate because of the birth rate in the late '70s and early '80s," Tompkins said. [ versities may have to become more se ect." While Tompkins said EMU may look into building new residence halls, other Michigan schools face other problems. "We are physically running out of classroom space," said Andy Beachnau, director of Housing at Grand Valley State University. "Since I started (in 1982), the student body has grown from 4,000 to about 16,700." Oespite the large incoming class this year, Grand Valley has also managed to provide 99 to 100 percent of the first- year students with housing. Jon Schaffer, Ferris State's associate director of housing, also reported school housing as full. "This year, the growing number of freshmen seems to be a state and region-wide trend," Schaffer said. "In the first couple weeks of school we found spaces for everyone." Ferris students looking for housing had to temporarily share rooms with students in singles.The students in the singles were rewarded with $100 book- store gill certificates. In the first few weeks of class, many schools do not have housing for every- one, Schaffer said. Some students are admitted to multi- ple schools and decide to attend one uni- versity at the last minute. Consequently, housing departments are left in the dark at the beginning of the term. In the first few weeks, housing offi- cials find these empty spaces in the res- idence halls and fill them as soon as possible. Other Michigan schools notice the growing number of entering students but have not reported any problems at all. Janeece Hayes, Programming Coordinator for University Housing at Oakland University, was also pleased with Oakland's current housing state of affairs. "We're not overcrowded, and every- one is accommodated," Hayes said. "The number of freshmen is going up and our goal is to build more housing. We're leaning toward apartments or off- campus housing for the upperclassmen and reserving the dorms for the fresh- men." Alternative Weekends kicks off with mass meeting tonight By Josh Kroot For the Daily Students interested in participating in Alternative Weekends, can learn more about the community ser- vice program at a mass meeting tonight at 5 p.m. in Aud. 2 of the Modem Languages Building. Alternative Weekends is a branch of Project SERVE's Alternative Breaks program, which also organizes Alternative Spring Break. "One of the goals of Alternative Weekends is to focus on the local communities," said David Waterhouse, co- director of Project SERVE. "We do a lot of volunteer work in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Detroit." For eight years, Project SERVE, the University's on- campus community service organization, has been leading community service trips to sites across the country, through their popular spring break program. Through this program, participants can spend a week working with AIDS patients in New York, help- ing Haitian refugees in Miami, or volunteering for the United Farm Workers Union in San Juan. For those not willing to commit their entire spring vacation to community service, Project SERVE offers the Alternative Weekends program, in which students spend three to four weekends per semester volunteer- ing at sites throughout the Midwest. Tonight's mass meeting will kick ofH the sixth year of the program, which in the past had sites at a camp for the disabled in Greenville, Michigan and a pro- gram in Detroit that assists elderly people. This year, the program will expand to include sites in Chicago and Ohio. More than 200 students partici- pated last year, and program organi/ers say that num- ber could double this year. Alternative Weekends was formed in 1992 by stu- dents who had participated in Alternative Spring lreak and wanted a more localized program that would allow them to volunteer throughout the school year. Unlike Alternative Spring Break, which requires a year-long commitment, participants in Alternative Weekends volunteer their time on a per-semestcr basis. Volunteers are grouped into teams of about 12 people. Each team focuses on a specific site for the entire semester, and team members are expected to atteind all of the monthly site visits. In addition, participants attend bi-weekly meetings to plan upcoming trips. Each volunteer is also expected to raise S100 for their site. "One of the great things about Alternative Weekends is the total immersion of the volunteers at a single sight' said Greg Garza, an Engineering sopho- more who has participated in both Alternative Weekends and Alternative Spring Break. "Alternative, Weekends actually builds better bonds between people than Alternative Spring Break because you work with the same people every month. "The program allows students to get out of Ann Arbor for a while and experience the rest of the world," said LSA sophomore Kenny Miller, who vol- unteered last year with Project Save, a program that assists the elderly in Detroit. "I loved talking to the elderly," Miller said. "They always had great stories. You gain strong relationships working with Alternative Weekends." As the program continues to expand, organizers are looking to involve more members of the University community. "We are trying to get as many people involved as possible, including graduate students and teachers," said LSA junior Jen Fahner, a member of the Alternative Weekends leadership team.
