Behind the fence of the Department
of Juvenile Justice live 12 to 17 yearold
male offenders. Saturday, USC volunteers
will join the juveniles.
The volunteers will play games and
sports with the juveniles as part of
USC's annual Into the Streets service
day.
"[The juveniles] love it. Since
they don't get a lot of visits from family
, it's just wonderful to get some
attention they don't normally get,"
Odd's Director of Volunteer Services
Stasia Olivetti said.
Olivetti said the volunteers?she
requested 40?will work with 40 to 80
teens and will get an orientation that
includes the rules, regulations and descriptions
of the types of teens they
will meet.
"[Volunteers] are offering attention
and are showing that people in the
community still care and give their
time to visit with them," Olivetti said.
David Janes, director of community
service, said there are more
than 20 sites, and the Into the Street
student committee hopes to beat last
year's participation of 400 and get 400
to 500 people placed at these sites. Other

Janes said the purpose of Into thi
Streets is to introduce people to vol
unteer opportunities that involve so
cial or environmental issues.
"Some [volunteers] see some of th<
problems and see that they can mak<
a difference in the community," Janes
said. "Our goal is to encourage students
to become involved in the long term
People will get excited, and we hops
that that excitement lasts."
Janes said volunteer service is be
coming more popular at college cam

communities. Colleges that don't hav<

Remember when Pac Man was considered
high-tech, and video games were
for kids who wanted to rot their brains
and ruin their eyes?
i Even if college students somehow
missed the video game craze of the
