Staff member elderly through rnany programs at Kurt Lange enjoys working with the Weslev VVOOUS Reaching Out At Emory mory University witnessed many changes in the l98o S7 year as the campus continued to grow and expand. Equally impressive was the growth in the number ot students interested in helping others who were less fortunate. Over two hundred agencies in Atlanta benefitted from the efforts of Volunteer Emory as they en- tered their seventh year of service to the community, A student run organization supervized by Dean Rebecca Gurholt, Volunteer Emory reached out to mental health centers, hospitals, the elderly, and underprivileged children. Volunteers also had a chance to wfrk in soup kitchens and night shelters. Some of their special protects included Play Day in the Park, a carnival held in Lullwater for handicapped and underprivileged children and a special Christmas party. These events allowed students outside ot Volunteer Emory to participate in a volunteer event. Codirectors Audrey Klien and Srini- vasan lyfukundan worked with dorm advisors to organize a Heart to Heart weekend where students were given the opportunity to par- ticipate in a oneftime volunteer experience. Opportunities included working with the elderly making arts and crafts, playing sottball with boys' and girls' clubs, doing yardwork for the elderly, and working at night shelters and soup kitchens. Sometimes people are hesitant about volunteering on a regular basis. This weekend provided stu- dents a chance to feel out an area they may have been interested in to see if they felt comfortable or lust an opportunity to share some time helping others , remarked Audrey Klien. With such diverse experiences from helping the elderly to working with metro-housing to protect peoples rights, students were bound to find a situation that they felt comfortable with, Not only did they help those who were less fortunate, volunteers also gained an insightg an awareness of how others lived. Many students chose volunteer programs that related to careers they wished to pursue. For example, many students interest- ed in the field of medicine chose to volunteer at local hospitals. This was also a great asset to the staff because it often allowed them an opportunity to share their workload or to provide more one on one attention to the patients. Many students continue to volunteer after college too, as it provided a significant feeling of accomplishment all for the sake of others. The spirit of caring was shar 'l by many other organizations on campus as well. There were several religious organizations, such as University Worship and Emory Christian Fellowship as well as frater- nities and sororities, which provided services to the needy through pledge protects and philanthropy tund-raising events. One week long charity event was the Sigma Chi Derby Week in which the fraternity worked with Emory sororities to raise money for Egleston Childrens Hospital. Fraternities and sororities often worked together to organize band parties, sell cups, and go roadblocking, They in turn were supported by the rest of the campus who purchased cups and attended the functions. lt was a unique experience to voinbirie social tunctions with an opportunity to raise money for others. Cani- pus wide events unified the Emory community while assisting the l---spa fortunate. I by Elizabeth Ataquire i2i3AcHiNc our 273 I is i l l

TTT s 6 6. A worrled warrlor mayhem at the Halloween Ball in looks for his lost Amazon among the new DUC. Tricksters Had A Ball or Emorys witches and warlocks, there was one night of the year that had a special tblacld magic. The Halloween Ball was an annual tradttion concocted lust for them and could be the perfect potion in the middle of the long Pall semester. This years Halloween Ball, held at the new Dobbs University Center, was full of treats in the form of food and drink, outrageous and original costumes, and a loud and electric performance by the bands the Producers and Faces of Concern. The fifth annual Halloween Ball was held on November lst on the main floor and eating area of the new DUC. Plans that had been in the worlzs for over 6 months produced an evening that all enloyed. proving that Emory could throw a great party even under Georgias new drinking age law. Streamers, balloons, and tables of food awaited students as they entered the DUC for the Ball in costumes varying from punks and terrorists of the 80's to poodle sl-:irts and saddle-shoes of the 50's to flappers of the 2O's. A wide array of babies, bunnies, clowns, and students just dressed as themselves turned out to see their fellow students and the two bands, Faces of Concern and the Produc- ers. ' M-'-ever, Halloween Flower Chlldren With a large section of the floor taken up by the stage, which became an extension of the facade of the old AMUC, the first and second tiers of the eating area were cleared of the tables and chairs and students roamed all areas of the DUC waiting for the bands to begin. The opening band was Faces of Concern, a local Atlanta band that often headlined at the Club Rio downtown. They played for about an hour and a half by which time, students were dancing and beginning to crowd in front of the stage and the railings of the first tier in anticipation of the headlining band, The Producers. After a long wait, the costume contest was conducted by members of UCB. The winners, Marc Cail dressed as a female Playboy bunny and Andrea Shuman and Cathy Heslin as a bag of Ivf 8: Ms, were announced. The 'Producers' finally arrived to play among cheers and clapping from students who were becomtng impatient. Half-way through their first set, Dooley arrived Ctlanlzed by his appotnted student bodyguardsj to malze his traditional appearance and wel coming speech in what was his first official visit to the new Student Center. The Producers then finished their first set and left the stage only to be cheered bacl: on by students who werent ready to leave tust yet. Around l:l5 am., the Producers concluded their show with a rousing rendition of the Beatles tune l'lt's Been a Hard Day's Night. All in all, the first Halloween Ball held in the DUC was a great success as happy students found their way home with ears ringing with f'Producers tunes, old and new. One Emory Senior, Ned Blumenthal, confirmed the feeling of many students who attended the ball when he said, Nl had one of the best times at this years Halloween Ball that l've ever had at an Emory party, l saw people being more outgoing than they've ever been. lt's funny that the more people are hidden, the more they show of themselves.
