Waikiki Aquarium seeks adult volunteers   Learn more about Hawaii's coral reefs, contribute to environmental education in Hawaii and celebrate the International year of the Ocean by being an adult volunteer for the Waikiki Aquarium. "Edge of the Reef" volunteers share fascinating natural history information, answer questions about Hawaii's waters and marine life and guide visitors through the naturalistic outdoor exhibit. Taught by the Aquarium staff, the course helps volunteers gain a better understanding of Hawaii's marine environment and prepares them to share the information in stimulating ways with visitors of all ages. If this sounds like fun, call 923-9741 for more information and to register for training beginning May 12. The sevensession course meets on five weekday evenings and two Saturday mornings. Again, that's 923-9741. This is the University Report, I'm Tracy Orillo Donovan.
