LUCY ARNOLD Features Editor
If you're feeling philosophical
Wednesday, USC's McKissick Mu
seum may be the place for you. 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.

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.

Got the philanthropic yens? And
maybe a little extra time? 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

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.
