Students canvass
I
for PIRG
By MELISSA RAMSDELL
During the spring and summer
months, student canvassers and vol -
unteers continue their efforts to
raise funds for the Public Research
Interest Research Group in Michi -
gan. These funds are instrumental
to the interest groups' survival.
PIRGIM, which employs 200
people during the fall and winter to
conduct research and lobby Con -
gress, concentrates on canvassing to
raise money during the summet
months.
Over 50 students have joined the
group since the end of last semester
to canvass cities all over lower
Michigan. By reaching the state's
communities, PIRGIM hopes to
raise money for lobbying and re -
searching issues.
As a student-run environmental
advocacy group, PIRGIM concen -
trates on campus and statewide
issues like the Michigan bottle bill,
toxic waste, women's issues, and
Safewalk.

"We work within the system so
students can learn how to work
with legislation," Judy Hyslop,
PIRGIM Chair, said.
The students are paid one third of
the amount they raise and must
meet a quota of seventy-five dollars
a day. Residents who give $15 or
more to the canvassers become
PIRGIM members.
Hyslop said most of the canvass -
ers do not join PIRGIM for the
money, but because they are inter -
ested in the issues.
"I tend to be an idealist, but I
like to think that what I'm doing
with PIRGIM could help to make
the world a better place in the fu -
ture," said Carol Wayman, PIRGIM
Field Manager and LSA senior.
However, PIRGIM may not be
for everyone. "There are a lot of
good people working there, but I'm
just not cut out to face constant
ejection," said LSA junior Jeff
Aikin, who quit PIRGIM after three
days of work.

The Archdiocese of Detroit has a job to do.
We know some people who are facing tough
choices in life who need good advice. We know
some people who are facing no choices who still
need hope. We know a lot of great kids who need a
place to be kids, and maybe someone to bring the
hal or the music. We know a few older people who
are going to die whether or not someone is there to
bring them peace.
All over the Archdiocese there are people who
need a place to count their blessings and share
their sorrows-people who need a hand, or a
shoulder to lean on, or sometimes just an ear.
At Sacred Heart Seminary we're teaching
young men to use the hands and shoulders and
ears and hearts God gave them. It's a great
education. A college degree. Graduate work.
We'll give you up to eight years to decide you
really want to be a priest before we ask you to
do it for good.
Sure, the hours are long. But they're flexible.
And if you come to work here, you'll get rich in
ways few people can imagine.
Not everyone can do the job.we --

Kingdon said that reviewing classi -

about its practical implications."
