Volunteers Donate Time to Charities Serving the community is a part of many Tech students' lives. As precious a commodity as time is, many are willing to help the nearly two million people of Atlanta. Clubs, Fraternities, and honorary societies, as well as individuals contribute social service to anyone who requests it. Students are most involved in service to the community immediately sur- rounding Tech. One service in particular is the Techwood Tutorial Project, man- aged by the Student Center Programs Board. This big brotherlbig sister pro- gram involves the pairing of a Tech stu- dent with an elementary school child who lives in the Techwood Housing Project. Delta Sigma Phi annually helps these same children by hosting a Christmas party complete with Santa Claus, and the Circle K Club holds a field day each spring for the students of the Home Park Elementary School. The elderly are served by Tech organizations such as Cir- cle K, which visits the Techwood Senior Center, and Lambda Sigma, which holds monthly bingo parties for residents of the Roosevelt House. Students also aid groups outside of the community. Ujamma responded to a re- quest for aid from the Help House by fix- ing a leaky roof. Four times a year the Co-op Club and Delta Sigma Phi conduct a blood drive for the American Red Cross. One of the largest philanthropic undertakings on the campus comes each fall when Tech Greeks unite with Greeks from the University of Georgia to raise money for Leukemia research. Through roadblocking, and events such as golf tournaments and pizza eating contests, Tech Greeks raised over 355,000 this past year. The scope of service by Tech students is tar-reaching - from neighborhood schools to national organizations. By giv- ing a small amount of time, many people gain a great deal of self satisfaction, and the personal emotions which arise from these efforts are the key to their continual success. An act of kindness is one which is felt many times over.
