Students May Work in Area Projects By VIVIAN WILSON Emerald Staff Writer Service projects, ranging from tutoring young school children to helping as a lab assistant in a local hospital, may be open to University students next fall when a student volunteer organi zation gets under way. The yet unnamed organization, emerging from a research com mittee created a few weeks ago, will serve to co-ordinate existing service programs on campus and direct student energies into the community.

The research committee has been working closely with the YM-YWCA and the Community Volunteer Organization, soon to become the Community Volunteer Council, Inc. Through these groups the committee is trying to provide a link between cam pus and community. The committee is planning to organize a training course to pro vide basic information for volun teers in any area of social serv ice. This would probably include classes on the different organi zations in the area and the inter relationship between the groups, as well as basic first aid, and other topics. University credit may be offered for the actual work. With this basic training, the organization, through the Com munity Volunteer Council, will place students in working posi tions in community organiza tions. Present opportunities are avail able through the YM-YWCA in their programs with the mental ly retarded at Pearl Buck school, with teen-agers at Skipworth De tention Home, their big brother program, and their swimming program for the physically han dicapped {With the new connection be tween University students and the community, the organization will also try to open up new op portunities for students by con vincing agencies that with some training as lab assistants, or in ] Summer Tuition Aid Students interested in a par trial tuition scholarship for summer school should contact the scholarship office, 207G Em erald Hall, as soon as possible.
