Student Lile Greg Mittenhubef UCLA: At Your Service T ' he Yuppies. The Give Me Generation. How many times was this generation con- stantly called selfish and without conscience? But amidst all the Ivan Boeskys and Jim and Tammy Bakkers of the world, there were still those shining in- dividuals who lent a hand for un- selfish reasons. Community service on the UCLA campus was an activity that was taken very seriously. Many programs such as Project Mac and the Prison Coali- tion involved an abundance of students who volunteered their time and talents to help those in their community. Their ciedica- tion brought great success to their respective programs, and made UCLA one of the frontrun- ners of community service. Those who gave a part of themselves to serving others found gratitude in their hearts, a sense or belonging in their com- munity, and greater conscious- ness regarding their fellow man. Hats oH to the many students who took the courage to look at this world from a perspective of sharing an J service. — Clarissa Aesquivel 28 Crmmunity Service

Student Lt|e To supplement students ' educations, UCLA offered numerous programs and ac- tivities. The Education Abroad Pro- gram (EAP) afforded all UC students the chance to live and experience life in a foreign coun- try. The opportunities stretched from Hong Kong to Togo, where students studied different cul- tures and lifestyles. Almost 200 Bruins gained academic credit through EAP. On a more local level, the Stu- dent Research Program had undergraduate students do research on campus. Students chose from 47 majors to work one-on-one with faculty. Attending lectures (especially Physics with Professor S. TruUin- ger) also meant stimulated learn- mg. Class demonstrations in- cluded sandwiching himself on a bed of nails to explain force dis- tribution. —Clarissa Aesquivel —Janine Ouyang .o. . »OK « m w » PREPARATION ROOM Jonathan Reinstein 30 University Related Activities
