Lambda Revives Social Service Proiects By TERR Y ETTER This year at Lambda the Community Service Committee has attempted to correct a long standing area of neglect. Though community service projects had been done in the past, they had been few and far b etween, and enthusiasm was certainly not overwhelming. As a result of this new emphasis, some very gratifying changes have taken place in the form of chapter response when called upon to meet various community challenges. It has been a real fallacy in the past to assume that living units on the DePauw campus are existing as a separated entity to the rest of the community. This is not only a fallacy which has been true of Lambda, but of all the other houses on campus, and is, in our Bros. Grooms and Boswell pose at Putopinion, a very sad opinion to hold. nam County Hospital after blood donation. In our attempt to overcome this feeling, we have outlined an active program of community participation and at this point have completed most of our goals. At the outset of the school year the committee met and outlined eight specific goals to be achieved by the end of the year. These projects were arranged in such a sequence that they would become larger, and, eventually our ultimate goal for the year would be achieved. (This will be discussed later). In Septemb er auu Od.obei· we had three main projects lined up. Through the cooperation of the County Hospital, all of our eligible men had their blood typed, and volunteered their services for blood donations in the event that their specific blood type was needed. Throughout the year, this service has been required. The men have willingly gone to the hospital at all hours of the day. The other two projects were primarily educational services. Through the cooperation of the Putnam County School system our men have volunteered their services as tutors primarily to high school students who are having academic difficulties. On the local educational level, Lambda had four men working with mentally retarded children, helping them to learn fundamental educational skills. In November Lambda's main project was concerned on the state level. One of Lambda's members got the idea to organize a campus wide talent show and present it at the state penitentary. Though this had never been done, the superintendent of the institution was· extremely receptive to the idea, and the show was a gratifying success as evident in reports found in the Indianapolis Star, Chicago Tribune, St. Louis Post Dispatch, and a personal letter from the state farm superintendent. In December Lambda's song group put on separate Christmas programs a1 the County Hospital and Greencastle Old Folks Home. After the confusion of finals and after the dust settled, we were once again ready with several projects.
