If the combination ofjava and culture seem particularly appropriate to your world?weary senses, then listen up! McKissicks monthly series, "Muses' Night Out," begins this week with a Poetry Reading and Coffee Horn*. There will be an open microphone available to anyone brave enough to try it. Enough coffee consumption may just put you over the edge, so bring some literature just in case! "It's open mike, so people can bring their favorite poem or something they wrote, or they can just come and drink coffee and listen to other people," said Deanna Kerrigan, organizer of the event and as sistant to the director at McKissick. The series will continue on Oct. 18 with McKissick Unplugged. Many people may remember these all acoustic concerts from the past This time, Sour Wood Honey, a band from Lexington, will provide the entertainment. The final "Muses' Night Out" evening of the semester, on Nov. 8, will be in the form of a reception for USC art professor, Philip Mullen. People will have the opportunity to meet and talk with the artist on the occasion of his new exhibit. All of these programs begin at 8 p.m. and are open to the public. Since most museums close at 5 p.m., many people miss out on offerings during the week. ?tUD i (See the Careerj Are You Planning to Positions, Inl Job S( Sept. 1 If you cannot attenc Library, 8th Floor c J Monday Students are signing ( "Your I c k yourself ssick "It's open mike, so people can bring their favorite poem or something they wrote, or they can just come and j.:.k ?? i:?1 ilium uuiiet; ana listen to other people." Deanna Kerrigan, assistant to the director at McKissick Museum "We're trying to keep it open after hours, but we're also trying to reach a younger audience, students and young professionals," Kerrigan said. The museum is doing this series in order to appeal to people who can't get to the museum during the day because of work or school. While you're enjoying the special evening events at McKissick, you'll still have the opportunity to see the regular exhibits. Currently, there is an exhibit of lithographs byN Florida artist, William Walmsley ,and another called, "Handed On: Folk Crafts and Southern Life." In October, the "Student Life at USC" exhibit will be open. "The whole museum will be open so people can see the exhibits," Kerrigan said. "We've done the ^unplugged' concerts hefnre hut. this is tho first fimo we've had the museum open after hours," Kerrigan said. And don't worry if you happen to fall in love with these cultural Wednesdays at McKissick. It will be back in the spring on the same monthly basis. pwfaBBKMfwy!

Since 1969, students wishing to volunteer in, and I around, the university community have found a medium through Carolina Cares. This student-run organization seeks to promote community service and to educate potential volunteers about outlets for involvement within and around the university. Under the guidance of President Tricia Moser, this year the organization will sponsor Carolina Cares Day and the University Tree Lighting in December. Moser also wants to provide more hands-on activities off-campus. "This year well be visiting the children's wing at Baptist Medical Center once a month, in place of a meeting, to do things like fingerpaint with the kids there," Moser said. Students involved with Carolina Cares this bring with them diverse backgrounds in community service. Many members have worked in daycare centers, several have worked in nomeiess shelters in their home towns and one student even dressed up as a clown for the Red Cross. Some firsttimers are thrilled to have these resources available to them. Tve been looking for some type of community service organization and felt that this was a good place to start," said Nikki Moore, a transfer student : A&K AS Delta Congra 1995 nlpHap ? - picked the B< aro Jennifer H sndine Stephanie Brunson Graham Je i Helena Ko er Angela Lai ay Mary Hunt Dut Amanda N* Allison Pat . a i m I ^ * * * ^ ^ ^ 'winiiy uuy reium Tracy Rusf rd Lauren Slo rd Jessica Sp n Riann Whit i Kerri Wooc ir Jennifer W ft K AftKl Tuesday, September 12,199S "in Will UIPADrO IMUMnLO Ives back to Columbia who misses volunteer groups at her old college. Recent budget cuts have been a setback for the service organization. Moser speculates that Carolina Cares will have to sponsor fund-raisers in the future, as well as focus more on service to the campus. "We didn't have any fund-raisers in the past because we felt funny about asking for money to plan service activities," Moser said. She will consider co-programming with another student organization or running a credit card table, so you might see them hawking Visas on Greene Street. "We can't have the tree lighting if we don't have the money," Moser said. "But if s tradition, so we can't do away with it, either." Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Tricia Moser at 777-8402 or join the group at its next meeting on September 26 in Russell House 304. Experienced members promise that it is neither intimidating nor time consuming. and that it's a great wav fnr guys to meet girls. (One male showed up at the group's second meeting? apparently a rare sight.) Moser admits that attendance statistics favor females, but adds that they would welcome males. After all, guys, someone has to sing bass at the tree-lighting. &KA& itulates class...
