Bill would require students to volunteer College students in Texas could be lining up to serve soup to the homeless, to crusade for the disenfranchised or to coach children at the Boys & Girls Clubs. A bill that the state's House Higher Education Commit­ tee approved this week would require all students at state universities to do 28 hours of unpaid public service in one semester to earn their diploma. Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine, said he drew up the pro­ posal because he believes that students should leave college with a better sense of citizenship and community spint. Lessons learned from giving to the community can't be taught m a classroom, he said. The committee sent HB 791 to the House on Tuesday with a favorable recommendation. But some students and legislators said volunteerism has to be just that - voluntary. UT sophomore Larry Chauvin, 19, said many student or­ ganizations already require community service. In his fra­ ternity, pledges are required to complete 40 hours, he said, and active members 12 hours a semester. The bill would require students to complete the community service under the supervision of a nonprofit organization, gov­ ernment entity or other group that benefits "needy or deserving individuals or the public." Each university would monitor and coordinate the program through a public service office. The requirement would apply to students who enroll after · Sept. 1 and would let students choose where to volunteer.

BY SHIRLEY EDWARDS Contributing Writer

In bnght pink chalk, a small sidewalk sign reads "This way to the CD Cafe" with an ar­ row pointing in the direction of an alley. Nes­ tled behind a series of local Collegetown busi­ nesses, the CD Cafe, a small yellow build­ ing that used to be the Oak, is easy to miss when roaming Collegetown. Even the own­ er, Robert Timgcy, admits that its location at 107 l/2 Dryden Road is a drawback. "The rent's cheap - that's the only thing I like about the locauon [but) what we have is a really unique product and service," Timgey said. Timgey also recently purchased Sounds Fine music store m the Commons and plans to add a cafe inside the store sometime in fall of 2002. As of now, the store will not close but there will be some immediate changes, Timgey said. "We're filling out and replacing Sounds Fine's audio equipment with used CDs, which Sounds Fine had never done," Timgey said. "We'll be buying and selling used CDs and DVDs."
