The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, July 27, 1982-Page 3 NEW PROGRAM OFFERS LESSONS TO COMMUNITY Music students share expertise By GREG BRUSSTAR A new program which starts this September may offer the community music classes in everything from the flute to the harpsichord, School of Music Prof. George Cavender said yesterday. The Preparatory and Community Enrichment program (PACE) will offer classes taught by graduate students in string, wind, and percussion in- struments, and in voice, piano, and dance. "WE'VE JUST received official permission (from the University) to institute the program," said Cavender, a former director of the University Mar- ching Band. "It will provide enrichment for the im- mediate and surrounding areas and is open to everyone." Classes will be offered from the beginning to ad- vanced levels. Roughly 20 doctoral students from the music school will serve as instructors. "We will use the qualified graduate students that we have," Cavender said. "They will be highly com- petent instructors," CAVENDER said that the program will start on a small scale and grow with demand. "We're going to stick our toes in the water at first. We'll experiment and expand," he said. "We'll augment the program as much as we need to because we don't now the ex- tent of the project." The program will be self-supporting, Cavender said. although fees for the instruction have not been set. The program will also provide extra income to graduate students who are hard-pressed by cutbacks in loans and financial aid, Cavender added. PAUL BOYLAN, dean of the music school, said the program "has been in the plans of the school of music for at least a dozen years." The program may make up for instruction which has been cut from several public school budgets, Boylan added. The School of Music is a gold mine for musical in- struction, according to Cavender. "We have a vast resource of instructors here that we want to make available to the people. We're blessed with a resource in teaching that is unusual," he said. PACE MAY offer courses in such ancient in- struments as the harpischord, viola, and lute if the community shows an interest, Cavender said. The music school provides an especially good sour- ce of instructors in such rare instruments, he added, citing music Prof. Edward Parmentier as one of the nation's foremost experts on the harpsichord. Cavender said that there are several other PACE programs currently existing in the country. The largest program, which has 700 students, is located at the University of Southern California. Another notable program is at Eastman Conservatory in Rochester, N.Y. Cavender said that instruction schedules will be - geared to the University's semesters. Students will have one lesson per week with an option of additional half-hour or hour lessons. Classes will be held in Burton Tower, which has seven classrooms and 21 studios, and will run from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays, he said. Substance abuse can trouble doctors too By BARB MISLE Alcoholism and drug abuse among health professionals is an old problem which has been concealed and ignored, but today afflicts close to 30 percent of all U.S. physicians and nurses, accor- ding to recent statistics. Counseling professionals and mem- bers of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)--a nationwide support group made up of recovered alcoholics-gathered last week to discuss the problem at a University Hospital-sponsored seminar. ONE AA member, "Emma," is a nurse and recovered alcoholic. She told H SCOTT of an incident that happened ten years epres- ago when an obstetrician in a different city passed out while delivering a baby because he had been drinking.

Peace Corps recruits on camp By KRYSTY MROZEK Although the nation's faltering economy is hurting most volunteer organizations, it actually is en- couraging more students to join the Peace Corps, recruiters on campus said yesterday. Serivng in the Peace Corps is an ap- pealing alternative for college graduates having trouble finding a job, said Lorie Parkhill, a corps repr- esentative who was at Campus Inn yesterday interviewing prospective volunteers. THE recruiters, who will be in town through today, expect more than 50 people to show up for interviews and twice as many to call in for infor- mation Parkhill said. Most of the corps' volunteers are college students with a bachelor's degree, she said. When asked why students make up the majority, recruiter Jane Carter replied, "Timing. The students thinks I'm not materialistic yet. I'm not locked into a job, I have no depen- dents.' " THE HIGHEST concentration of students who apply major in areas such as political science, history, and English, although applications from those trained in the sciences are in- creasing, Parkhill said. Volunteers agree to serve a two- year term overseas. Rising interest has made getting a position in the Peace Corps very competitive, she said, adding that of those who apply, only a few will be invited to a par- ticular country. Parkhill said "a steady flow of people" turned up for interviews yesterday. THE recruiters are looking for "a person with a sense of adventure and independence," Parkhill said. "They must be openminded and flexible and able to deal with bureaucratic and lengthy processing." Carter said service in the help students attain futu goals. "Itglooks good on a resi said.
