NEWS The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 19, 2006 - 7A REACH OUT Continued from page 1A elimination of similar programs at the elementary and high school level as well as satellite programs in Detroit and Ypsilanti. Remaining is the core of the program - the one-on-one interaction with the mentor and student. The personal style accommodates students' individual learning styles, which traditional school systems often do not have the resources to address. "The school system is not working for many children," Cherniak said. "It needs innovation. I think Reach Out is a really good start - it adds a young, passionate person to the team who can then advo- cate for the child." Mentor volunteers devote at least one day a week to meeting with a child at school. Many mentors further build their relationships with the children by meet- ing with their teachers and visiting their homes. Organizers envision creating similar programs at other universities, making Reach Out a national organization compa- rable in size to Big Brothers Big Sisters. "It's an ingenious little model," said Flood. "There are (University) students that need to see the way other people live and you have students that need help - it's a really powerful way to meet in the middle ground." Lasovage is anxious to conduct research tracking the program's progress while working on expansion. "We consider Reach Out to be a move- ment," she said. "The coolest things in our nation have always been grass- roots." ALUM Continued from page 1A ers began approaching her for help defending controversial books, Mammino took an active role in the association, speaking as a panelist at a national censorship convention and eventually joining the board. Although Mammino says she has always been aware of civil liberties issues, she cred- its her years at the University with cultivating her interest. She graduated from the University in 1968 with an undergraduate degree in Eng- lish, and later completed a master's degree and teaching certificate. Politically active classmates and a campus teach-in protesting the Vietnam War exposed Mammino to new ways of thinking. "That was a big awakening for me in my freshman year," she said. "(Michigan) broad- ened my world and made me a much more complex person." It was at the University that Mammino got what would be the first of many jobs working in a book co-op in the basement of the Michi- gan Union. There, she says, she was further exposed to a wide variety of people. "I remember ringing up books one day for a transvestite guy who had a huge red beard and wore a girl scout uniform," she said. "We had a great conversation." Although Mammino says she's never been a "joiner," visits to a living room on Hill Street that would later become The Ark, and to an Ann Arbor high school gym to watch a young Bob Dylan perform for 75 cents, kept Mammi- no abreast of shifting opinions. Still, she said it wasn't until she returned for graduate school at the height of antiwar protests that she became intimately involved with demonstrations and marches. "When I came back to Michigan, things were really tumultuous ... because of the war," Mammino said. "I became very politically active." After graduation, she bounced around from job to job as a high school English teacher, a counselor, a social worker - even to a brief stint as a sheep shearer in New Zealand. Mam- mino is the first to admit she never expected to hold a day job for more than a few years, let alone return to her conservative hometown after her years in Ann Arbor. She considers herself a necessary oddity in Rochester. "I'm sort of the piece of grit in the oyster shell," she explained. Throughout Mammino's life, she said it has been the demand for an advocate and the need for free expression that has moti- vated her to act. "If you want a diversity of ideas, you need a diversity of outlets," she said. Mammino explained her philosophy of vari- ety with an analogy. "I once had a picture in my mind of how interesting it would be if every Coke bottle was different," she said. Even compared to her experiences in the 1970s, Mammino says she is shocked by the current political climate and provisions in the Patriot Act that allow the government to review library records. "To me, civil liberties issues at the moment are more serious and more dangerous than at any time during my 58 years on this planet," she said. After her term with the association ends, Mammino expects to remain active with cen- sorship issues as the need presents itself, but hopes to refocus on the nation's income gap between the rich and poor and its growing pov- erty, particularly in Detroit. Mammino continues to play many roles, but to the snow-boot clad six-year-old bouncing down the creaking pine steps into her shop for the first time, she is simply "the book lady." the michigan daily AVAILABLE NOW« Efficiency & 2 bedroom Campus Area Apartments Wilson White Company, Inc. www.wilsonwhitecompanycom (734) 995-9200 EHO BEDROOMS FOR WINTER semester.
