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.

Although Tech is still one of the biggest bargains in higher education anywhere in the country, there are still many expenses associated with the pur- suit ofthe college degree. Tuition, books, food and the ever-present misc. have been rising in cost by leaps and bounds over the past few years. This coupled with cutbacks in financial aid and loans have forced some students to look for other means of support - for most, this means getting a part-time job. Living in a big city such as Atlanta has distinct advantages when searching for a job. Fast-food restaurants offer many ex- cellent opportunities for the job hunter. Domino's, Pippin's, and ChoIlie's, et al employ many students, and tend to be in touch with the special circumstances of their employees. Many businesses around Atlanta employ students on a regular basis also. Perhaps the biggest employer of Tech's students is the institute herself. With a certain degree of academic prowess, a student can find employment with the Engineering Experiment Station, as a grader, or perhaps as a tutor. The Library offers positions to students as librarians and as operators in the copy section. SAC provides job opportunities for those with athletic inclinations, while the Student Center has openings in the Recreation Room, the Music Listening Room, the Craft Center, the information Desk, and the Post Office. Even the ad- ministration gets into the act by employ- ing students to assist in many clerical functions. Economic conditions have forced many students to find part-time work. Fortunately for the busy Tech student there are a surprising number of oppor- tunities in the immediate area. Times are tough all over, but at least the jobs are there for the students who seek them.
