CAMPUS UPDATE, October 10, 1979, Page 2 Museum features puppetry Editorial Dislike new “Anthony” dollar “ What is the opinion of the Susan B. Anthony dollar, now that it has been in circulation? We dislike it! Let it be understood that we're not putting down Susan B. Anthony (the “B’’ standing for Brownwell). She was a noted crusader for wom- en’s rights in theate 1800's. In fact, the 19th amendment is nicknamed the “Anthony amendment’ in re- Cognition of her efforts for women’s suffrage. Most of the reasons for disliking the coin stem from its resemblence to a quarter. It affects us psycho- logically, tricking us into thinking we have less money than we really do. The dollar value given to the boin doesn’t seem to fit -- it looks like mere change. This irritates us further by reminding us of infla- tion. © The coins’ appearance is awk- ward. It’s quarter-color and quart- er-size are too easily mistaken for the lesser valued coin. Not only are the physically impaired and blind Ki B jOllar Mal cons: ly easy e give people more money than they should be getting. It looks as though the Susan B.. Anthony coin will be as popular as the ever-famous two-dollar bill. by Rex Eccleston Watercolor Invitational Exhibit Beginning October 3rd, the Jesse Besser Museum will sponsor a Water- color Invitational exhibit.

Volunteer Center lends a helping hand — : by Andrea Dean The Alpena Volunteer Center works with individuals who-can de- vote a few hours a week to help --others in a variety of ways. A pros- pective volunteer chooses, from a list of schoo! and social agencies’ ‘requests, a job that appeals to them » most. Vernie Nethercut, director of the Volunteer Center, then matches the volunteer with the agency or __ individual who needs the special help. _ ‘The AVC receives over 100 ser- vice requests. Some of these require very skilled individuals, but most rely on a friendly person who is willing to help. Nursing homes, the - Alpena Public Library, the Girls Club, N. E. Michigan Mental Health Services, schools, and Big Brothers: and Big Sisters are examples of who: the AVC provides for. There are no special educational backgrounds or skills necessary to — qualify a person in becoming a vol- unteer. A general orientation session provided by the AVC emphasizes the need of courtesy, dependability, cheerfulness, the ability to follow ~ directions, and discretion when con- cerned. Because volunteers are al- ways working under a supervisory staff, the ability to co-operate is also stressed. Any further skills that are needed are provided through training by the individual agency. The AVC has two new programs this year. Karen Kesterke,’Admin- istrative Intern in Community Ser- vices, heads a volunteer program for Alpena High School students. The students will devote 1 1/2 to 2 hours per week for one semester to help in areas of companionship, recreation, communication, clerical and art aid. The program is designed ‘to develop a sense of service, lead- ership, and participation in the com- munity. Other benefits also include career experience and training.

The club was started several years ago for two major reasons. The first reason for having the: club is to get the concrete students involved in campus activities, such as sports events and social ‘gather- ings, and to try to have a represent- ative attend all campus meetings. Raising money is the second rea- . son for the club.
