LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Monday, Septembr 25, 2000 -A
elluride students live in service project

By Tara D. Sharma
Daily Staff Reporter
This year 20 University students will eat, sleep
and live their community service project as mem-
bers of the newly formed Michigan Branch Tel-
luride Association.
The undergraduates and graduates, who live in
a house at 1735 Washtenaw Avenue, will spend
the year working on a project at Dicken Elemen-
tary School in Ann Arbor that will investigate the
importance of fine arts in education. The group
chose the topic in response to 1995 cuts in arts
funding in the Ann Arbor Public Schools.
"The Ann Arbor school district cut funding for
a lot of arts teaching. Kids aren't getting the
same exposure," said Telluride resident Sarah

Nelson, an LSA junior.
Telluride resident Brian Debauch, an LSA
senior, said members recruit artists to teach at the
elementary school.
"Our job will be to help facilitate the program
the guest artist has in mind," he said.
At Telluride House, members discuss their
project over dinner and with guest speakers in an
effort to learn interactively.
"Twenty hours of random service may be
enriching to the individuals, but it doesn't enrich
the group or bring them together like this pro-
ject," said Thomas Hawks, program director of
the Michigan Branch.
In order to choose their project and the rules of
the house, students voted earlier this fall.
Last year six students were involved with the

association as part of the pilot branch. The stu-
dents spent the year volunteering as English
tutors with Washtenaw Literacy.
The group has grown larger this year as a
result of recruiting through programs such as
Undergraduate Research Opportunity Pro-
gram and the LSA Honors Program, Hawks
said.
The students can spend every year they are at
the University with the association once they are
accepted.
Students in the program receive free room and
board as members of the house.
'As long as students fulfill the terms of the
scholarship, they are renewed. There are stan-
dards that need to be maintained," Hawks said.
The program is funded by the Telluride Asso-

ciation, a national non-profit organization found-
ed in 1911 by L.L. Nunn, an industrialist-turned-
philanthropist.
The Telluride Association has supported simi-
lar houses at other universities, including Cornell
University. The branch at the University is distin-
guished from others by the presence of the year-
long project.
In future years, Debauch said, students may
address issues such as voting patterns and partici-
pation, the environment and hunger through their
projects.
There will be an open house in the oegining
of next month for all students interested in partic-
ipating in the program next year. The group's
Website, initinnichc dui'-telridce, will have the
time and location posted soon.

Members of the Michigan women's swimming team participate in the eighth
annual AIDS WALK Michigan on South State Street yesterday.
AIDS WALK raises
money, awareness

By Benjamin Chess
For the 1lyn1v
Cold winds and threatening clouds
yesterday did not deter more than 600
people from walking the streets of
downtown Ann Arbor raising money
and awareness for AIDS.
Participants in AIDS WALK
Micinigan, now in its eighth year,
began their trek from the Detroit Edi-
son parking lot at East William and
South Main streets. Free food, mas-
sages and a DJ entertained the crowd
as they gathered to walk the 5K
course.
Volunteers stationed along the
course provided water to walkers and
gave away condoms and information-
al pamphlets to pedestrians, promot-
ing AIDS awareness.
Some of the participants had per-
sonal reasons to walk the event.
"I have lost lots of fibends and I've
dodged a few bullets myself," said a
medical worker at the University, who
wished to only be identified as PJ. He
and five others from the HIV/AIDS
Treatment Program at the University
gathered pledges from friends and
family for AIDS WALK.
Most walkers worked in teams,
which competed to acquire the most
members and raise the most money.
Sports teams and fraternities from
the University also participated in the
event.
"It's really a warm atmosphere,"
said Marcus Collins, a member of Phil
Beta Sigma fraternity. "It's really
great. We look forward to walking
even though it's a dreary day. We're
out here for a good cause."
The money raised will be divided
among the Midwest AIDS Prevention
Project, the HIV/AIDS Resource
Center and the Hemophilia Founda-
tion of Michigan.
The event typically raises S4,500
each year. It is among the largest
fundraisers for each of the organiza-
tions.

Local political figures, including
Ypsilanti Mayor Cheryl Farmer,
Ann Arbor Mayor Ingrid Sheldon
and City Councilman Chris Kolb
(D-Ward V) helped enthuse the
chilly crowd.
"There is nun cure to HIV. There are
treatments and the treatments are get-
ting better," said Farmer, who said she
believes that finding a vaccine will
not be the end to the problem because
AIDS fundraising will still be neces-
sary to provide the vaccine to every-
one in the world who needs it.
Awards were given to the teams
and local high schools that raised the
most minotney and had the highest turn-
out. The event used to be held in June
and was purposely moved to late Sep-
tember to let students get involved.
"It's great that we can now reach
into the high schools and colleges,"
Kolb said.
AIDS walks have been going on
for years around Michigan, but it was
only three years ago when the Michi-
gan Aids Fund began to coordinate
all the separate efforts into an annual
statewide event.
AIDS WALK Michigan now orga-
nizes walks in a dozen cities, includ-
ing Detroit, Grand Rapids and
Traverse City. Each walk is held on
the same day.
After the walk, Kolb and Craig
Covey, executive director of the Mid-
west AIDS Prevention Project,
announced the individual, team, and
high school awards.
Local Ann Arbor software compa-
ny Baseview Products won both team
awards for fundraising and turnout.
The company netted S4,109 iln
pledges.
Huron High School won trophies
in the high school category for the
most walkers and the most money
raised.
"We thank everyone here," Kolb
said. "We appreciate the people com-
ing to walk after all these years. It's
great."
