Buchanan says service learning is a way for communities to address their problems rather than avoid r them: "Students in service learning see the importance of being involved, rather than retreating," Buchanan service-learnin- '. problems, and how engineering students can get involved in the com- munity." Professor Fred Montague teaches g classes about global environmental problems. The service aspect of the classes allow students to do something to address those problems. "In a dais, we can talk about tough topics and then take the students out along the Jordan River and plant trees, Montague says. 'It's less hypocritical than before." Montague says he tries to incorporate the original Earth Day motto " into his classes: "Think Globally. Act Locally." ' Emma Wharton works as teachMontague's ing assistant. "The class talks about global .warming and lots of gloom and doom." Wharton says. "Then the students get to go out in the com-munity." . "They have to do 40 hours every . quarter, so they're out planting trees, getting involved politically and planting gardens," she says. "It's a big class, and the service brings the class together." Wharton will receive' a Service Learning Scholar designation upon Service , Learning graduation. Scholars take at least 1 5 credit hours of service learning classes, donate over 400 service hours outside of class, and keep a Journal of their service experiences. g For Wharton's personal students project, she got ' from Jackson Elementary School and Oakridge Elementary School-o- ne e an school, the other a e school to be pen pals with each other. The students got together to plant trees and meet their pen pals. :4 - Service learning- originated' 10 years ago when students said they were learning more from service experiences than from their classes. according to Irene Fisher, director of the Bennion Community Service Center.

I realized fast that every discipline does have important knowl- edge to offer the community." Fisher jays. "The challenge is to find the match between what a faculty member wants students to learn and a : . community need Renee Buchanan, the Bennion f Center service learning program - service-learnin- says.-.''- Bombing pae from 2 f lesbian and nightclub a hate gay crime.

More than 50 federal agents are on the case, including the same task force investigating the Jan. 16 abortion clinic bombing.
