Group gets help ft
By Ann Farmer
Operation Serve is growing but still needs
more volunteers, especially in the Columbia
area, officials say.
The program, instituted at USC this past
uctoDer ana tne only one 01 us Kina in tne
nation, attempts to meet the needs of all
kinds of handicapped school children
through volunteer work from college
students, faculty and community groups.
The first stage of the program was its institution
at all USC campuses. Each campus
addresses the needs of the local school
districts, coordinator Richard Ferrante said.
THE COLUMBIA campus provided
tutors this past year, while Union had
restaurant menus printed in braille. Other
ways the program works include building
special equipment in classrooms for handicapped
students and "adopting a class"
because handicapped students often need extra
help on class field trips, Ferrante said.
The second stage of the program is progressing
well, according to Ferrante. It involves
extending the program to other

and Winthrop College are instituting similar
programs.
The third stage, which includes extending
the program to other states, may begin as
early as the end of this academic year, said

office in the program.
This year the program has been announced
to civic groups as well as through the media,
Ferrante said.
"WE FIND tutors for ail types of (handicapped)
students," he said. "(USC)
students can really be of help. We can train i
tutors in any major."
The program benefits tutors, too, Ferrante
said. Students can be aware of handicapped
people and not stereotype such students. One
participant, he said, was very encouraged to
find how the approaches she learned in the
college classroom worked in a real situation.
Helping people also gives a personal
satisfaction, he said.
"We channel volunteer resources from the
university to the local school districts. We
take the basic concept of helping kids with
difficulties and adapting to their needs," he
said.
BY VOLUNTEERING, (students) are not
committing themselves for life. Most school
districts request at least two hours a week.
Having that special friend means as much as
the tutoring itself," Ferrante said.

succeed the results will affect more than just
Jamaica. A failure in Jamaica would greatly
damage those who believe a conservative,
capitalistic approach is the answer to the ills
of the Third World.
