5 The Daemen Spirit: Community Service Joseph Sankoh, Director, Community Service

Every week, Rick Williams spends several hours as a Physical Therapy Assistant volunteer at DeGraff Hospital. Williams, a freshman Physical Therapy major at Daemen College, is active in the College's Community Service program. Each week, Williams and other students who volunteer in Daemen's Community Service program, assist patients at DeGraff as they recover from such problems as accidents, falls and strokes. "Sometimes you really find yourself getting close to the patients and sharing their problems," says Rick. "One of the patients is 93 years old. I've worked with her regularly and she's become sort of a friend. I've shown her pictures of my kids and I'm planning on taking them to visit her." Students' commitment to helping others manifests itself in many ways. Even though Daemen College was founded in the tradition of helping others, never has the spirit of volunteerism been stronger.

More Than Just a Project President Bush wrote a congratulatory letter to the students of Daemen College. He said "Your efforts reflect the commitment to voluntary community service that will be essential to solving our nation's most pressing social problems. By reaching out to those in need, you are setting an outstanding example for your fellow Americans." The series of projects that prompted this letter was coordinated by Daemen's Department of Community Service, directed by Mr. Joseph Sankoh. The office was established during the 1987-88 academic year to promote student volunteerism. This effort furthers the College's mission, which states: "Education must serve to alleviate human suffering and elevate human dignity." By undertaking such activities we are working toward the attainment of our stated goal "to develop the student's awareness of the obligation to serve our fellow human beings and our common institutions." This office, one of few operating nationally on a four-year college campus, actively maintains contacts in the community for the purpose of identifying appropriate volunteer opportunities. During the 1991-92 academic year, cumulative total hours reached 4,549 with 216 students participating. This is a level of participation acknowledged as "unusually high among institutions of higher education" by the Field Coordinator of the (New York) Governor's Office for Voluntary Service.

Developing the Individual Through Service to Others At Daemen, we are convinced that learning to serve the community through volunteer efforts is crucial to a student's education. That is why their official records note volunteer hours as well as grades. The process begins with the individual student's needs and preferences. Students receive a list of organizations that have requested volunteer help when they register with the office. Should a student come to the Community Service office and indicate a preference for a specific type of service, Mr. Sankoh and his staff will try to locate an appropriate service opportunity. Currently there are over 50 organizations on the list. We are proud of the commitment that our students have made on behalf of the needy, the environment and improving community life on campus.

Mary LoCurto Community Service Fund

The community service that is being carried on daily by Mary's fondness for Daemen, which was exemplified by her students at Daemen is commendable. Many years ago, a member generous support and many volunteer hours as an Associate, of our community used her time in a similar capacity by serving continues today through the memorial fund that was created in others through community service at the college. That woman was her honor by her daughter, Mary Jane Orffeo. This fund provides Mary LoCurto. ongoing support for Daemen's Community Service program.

The DCA is an volunteer in their community by supporting the Mary LoCurto organization which is affiliated with the college and was Community Service Fund. established to raise funds for Marian Library.

9 Philosophers and Animals by Dr. James A . M oran

first thought it might seem that philosophers would agree with the strong moral status which Singer and Regan assign have little interest or concern for animals. After all, philosophers are to animals. Some have argued that while we have definite duties to interested in theories, arguments and reasons, animals are far animals, they have a lower moral status than humans and that certain removed from these. Philosophers are said to be concerned with the human uses of animals, which Singer and Regan want to prohibit, higher ends and purposes of human life, animals do not seem related can in fact be justified. Most people agree that it is not ethically to these concerns. Finally, philosophy is thought to be based on permissible to allow unnecessary and cruel scientific experiments reasoning, while animals are said to be moved by irrational appetites involving animals, even if they have the potential to benefit humanity. or instincts. However, despite these initial thoughts, in recent years Sometimes the disagreement here involves the moral status we assign philosophers have been very much concerned with the moral status to animals and sometimes it might involve empirical facts about the of animals, and with the question of the relation of animal benefits to humans which the use of animals provide. Often debates, consciousness to human consciousness. While these interests have between animal rights supporters and scientific researchers who become quite prominent in recent philosophy, especially since the believe that the use of some animals is essential, become quite bitter. publication of Peter Singer's Animal Liberation a number of years Recently, the Secretary of Health warned, if certain animal rights ago, past philsophers have also wondered about various aspects of activists have their way, scientific research offering great benefit to our relations with animals. Some past philosophers, like Kant and humans will be compromised. It should be pointed out, however, Aquinas, argued that we do not have direct moral duties to animals, that not all animal rights supporters are opposed to all research, some but should treat them humanely lest our cruelty to animals spread simply want more humane guidelines, and even argue for more to humans. Other philosophers, such as Bentham, claimed that effective research which would also be more humane. At this point, because animals can suffer pain they are worthy of our direct moral there is much empirical evidence that the morally sensitive person concern. It is true, however, that many past philosophers gave little must take into consideration. Thus, the debate does not just involve serious thought to our relationship with animals. Often they simply philosophy in an abstract sense. echoed views common to their cultural situation. This has changed In conclusion I recommend that readers, who have wondered in recent years. Many philosophers have begun to question some about our treatment of animals or who have been puzzled by some of our current assumptions regarding our treatment of animals.
