Athletic Department
receives $12,000 grant
from ASLCC Senate
BY LARRY HAFTL
staff writer

The ASLCC senate decided
to give the Atheletic Department $12,000 " ... to spend as
the department sees fit."
The decision came at the
May 25 senate meeting in response to a multi-option funding proposal from Athletic Director Harlan Yriarte.
The 1992-93 senate asked
Yriarte for appropriate ways to
use ASLCC funds to benefit
student athletics. Yriarte originally presented his multi-option
proposal to the 1992-93 senate
but no decision was reached
before the 1993-94 senate took
office.
The senate chose to give an
open grant to the athletic department because, in the words
of ASLCC President Steve
Cheeseman, "We don't want to
micro-manage
your
department's activities. We believe you will use this money in
ways that will best serve the
student body."
Yriarte indicated in his
original proposal that he favored
spending the money to provide
free admission to all LCC home

basketball games and to eliminate the current $3 fee paid by
intramural participants. However, because of the wording of
the grant, he is free to use the
money in whatever way his department chooses to do.
In other business, the senate confirmed Jason Rackley as
the 1993-94 Student Resource
Center director, and D .J.
Holbrook as communications
director.
Rackley has been assistant
SRC director under ASLCC
Vice President Nancy Johnson
since Johnson became vice
president this month. Rackley
told the senate that he has been
reorganizing the SRC in order
to meet anticipated demands of
next year. He will work through
the summer and expects the SRC
to be fully prepared when fall
term begins, he said.
Holbrook, who served as
1992-93 SRC director and later
as ASLCC Vice President, told
the senate he intends to be far
more active than last year's
communications director.

Job placement needed
Placement? For that matter,
how many students will be
able to find local employment in their chosen vocations at all? The answer is, as
far as anyone is able to
prove, very few.
As an institution, Lane is
effective in bringing students
into the college, keeping
them here and giving them
access to an often excellent
education.
But if the only way for
graduates to find employment in a chosen careers is to
take your degrees north to
Washington or south to
California, how can LCC
justify the money Oregon
taxpayers give the school
each year?
Currently, there is no
effective way to evaluate the
technical, vocational and
professional programs in
terms of successfully
employed graduates. There
isn't even a college-wide
mechanism to capture and
utilize that information in
ways that are meaningful to
students.
Worse yet, there is a
campus-wide inertia that
often avoids even thinking
about such evaluations.
To those who say you
can't compare the performance of public education
institutions with private
schools we ask "why not?"
LCC needs to aggressively help students find
jobs. It must be able to give
students meaningful data
about job placement history
for each program.
When LCC can demonstrate it is better at
providing effective education
to our community than it
is at providing well
paying lifetime security
to its employees it will no
longer have to fight budget
wars.

In the May 21 Torch
editorial, we examined the
debate raging over school
funding from a socially
responsible perspective. It is
self evident that" ... a more
educated and productive
society benefits everybody."
The Torch editorial
board firmly believes that we
have a social responsibility
to invest in our society's
future by adequately funding
education.
But we also believe
people in charge of managing public funds for education have a responsibility to
maximize the quality of
education achieved for
dollars spent. Unfortunately,
this responsibility is too
often paid lip service in
general terms, instead of
being demonstrated in
measurable ways.
Consider the case of a
privately funded vocational
education institution in this
community, Trend College.
Approximately 94
percent of Trend College
graduates find employment
in their chosen vocations
through Trend's placement
service.
Compare those numbers
to LCC' s placement record.
Or rather, try to. The college
doesn't track such numbers in
a manner useful to students.
Of the 1,059 students
receiving degrees and
certificates this year, approximately 300 will earn
college transfer degrees. That
means most of the remaining
700 students will receive
degrees and certificates in
technical and vocational
programs. These programs
are meant to prepare
students for entry into the job
market.
How many of those
students have found employment through LCC Job

Does equality extend to above
the waist nudity?
To the Editor
Several days ago when the weather was nice, and the sun shone
brilliantly many people were relaxing on the lawn outside of the cafeteria. Several of the men had their shirts off for tanning reasons. I then
noticed one woman had hers off and was laying face-down on the grass.
Her breasts were not exposed. A security officer approached her and
requested that she put her shirt back on telling her because she was
offending certain individuals. She immediately complied. I think this is
wrong and sexist. If men can take off their shirts with no problem, then
so should women if they choose to. LCC is supposedly a non-biased
institution, so in all situations men and women should be treated equally.
What is offensive and who is allowed to be shirtless?

ToriaRovier
Editor's note-

According to the Oregon Revised Statutes and the Eugene City
attorneys office, it is not illegal for women to appear topless in public.
"People 8 years and older are prohibited from showing genitals in or in
view of a public place. " See related story in the special summer section
pages 7-9.

Graduation a family affair

Ur with the Chickens?

~ •-.jj.:~,p ·.

I hate math. Always have. So it's not
surprising that as I walk
toward the Math and
Art Building my hands
are clammy and I twist
my ring vigorously.
"What am I worried about? I'm not
even in a math class.
This is stupid, it's only
a interview about math
phobia." •
But what will I ask
John Steele, an LCC
PHOTO BY ARTHUR MASON
math teacher? Math is
John Steele
my worst subject,
hands down. How
could I talk about a subject that I hate?
I wonder if he is one of those stereotypical math teachers, a
"math-is-my-life" kind of guy I poke my head in the door, he
greets me with a friendly "hello."
Soon I learn that John Steele has a theory: "Teach the students
not only the "big picture" (the general idea of the problem), but the
details (the steps of the problem) as well." Not everyone is on the
same level, he explains.
"I like to show students different formulas so they are able to
work their problems out and achieve the answer that they need.
Math is not totally concrete. There are many different ways to work
a problem. Those who don't need the details can just do their work.
Some people don't need the 'big picture."'
His new theory comes alive in his Math 20, a special section
for the math anxious taught in conjunction with LCC counselor
Phyllis Geyer' s College Success class. It includes a lecture for
better understanding of math words as well as numbers.
Steele says most students who take this class have experienced
a "math mental block," usually from negative comments made by
peers or authority figures. Steele wants to fix the resulting phobia
that these adults still face today.
At a national teachers conferenee last year he heard math
anxiety classes were helping other community college students,
"They were explaining the techniques of a class like Math 20 in a
workshop I was attending and I realized, 'This is it. This is what I

I.

.--...... .

Terry was able to get in instead"
The three commute daily
fromMapleton,anhoureachway,
helping each other study along
the way.
'"They're one family, yet they
represent the diversity of LCC.
They 're what community colleges
are about," says President Jerry
Moskus. He notes how the Sheas
have made use of the Dislocated
Worker Program, Adult High
School, work-study financial aid,
lower-division transfer courses,
and Lane's multiple campuses to
shape the changes in their lives
into successes.
This remarlcable family has
receivednumerous accolades this
past year. Brandie was chosen to
represent Oregon as a Congressional Scholar at the National
Young Leaders Conference in
Washington, D.C. last fall. The
whole family went with her and
stayed withrelatives. Brandie met
Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Mark

Hatfield and Peter DeFazio. She
was given a chance to intern in
Washington but wanted to intern
in her chosen field instead.
Dad Terry had an awardstudded year himself. First he was
named student employee of the
month at Lane for his work in the
main campus library. Then he was
named student employee of the
year. Finally, the Western Association of Student Employment
Administrators selected him as
Outstanding Student Employee
for the State of Oregon.
What drives the Sheas?
''We 're just trying to be a good,
hard working family," says mom
Regina. Daughter Brandie will
participate in Lane's commencement for Adult High School
graduates on Thursday, June 3, at
7:30p.m in the Hult Center. Parents Terry and Regina will march
in the commencement for degree
earners the following day, same
time and place.

Student input requested
staff writer

Help Wanted: Student input
for new faculty evaluation form.
The Faculty Evaluation
Committee has developed a
standarized evaluation form and
would like to have student feedback on its content.
Committee member and
Nutrition instructor Beth Naylor
says the Northwest Commission
on Colleges has issued updated
accreditation requirements
which include requesting client
input into the faculty evaluation
process.
Under these requirements,
she says, every contracted faculty member needs an evalua-

tion once a year for the first three
years and every third year after.
Student evaluation is only
one part of the process. In addition, supervisors observe instructors and each faculty member appraises his or her own performance.
She says the purpose of the
standarized form will be to encourage each instructor to use it
as an evaluative tool for every
class.
Students who are interested
in viewing the rough draft of the
form can contact any of the
committee members. Naylor can

Gladiator rockers battle at local night club
BY GARY HANIUK
staffwriter

The night air is thick with electricity. The
band members inspect the nickle strung armor on
their axes. They check with the one armed with
sticks. A crowd starts to gather as band members
wait with anticipation. All are anxious to see who
will succumb to the victor of The Battle of the
Bands.
The musicians prepare to enter the battlefield.
Warface, a band from Springfield, attacks
the stage with a vengeance Monday at Swingers
Night Club. They rally with a dominating vietory in the first round of the battle going against
Spanish Fly, and Reach. Next week its assault
will be much more challenging, fighting within
the raucous cages of Pleasant Hill's Zoo Gang
and dodging the venomous sounds of Ashland's
Synesthesia.
Swingers iscurrentlyholdingthethirdannual
"Battle of the Bands,"every Monday night until
the end of June, sponsored by Duke's Sound and
Lights. A total of 18 bands are involved, and the
victors will come out with $2,000 worth of prize
money and accessories.
Swingers provides the stage and puts up
some prize money. Miller Beer, along with the
radio station ZROCK, also helps promote the
event, says Duke's Sound and Light owner, Duke.

The battle is geared toward alternative mu- ·
sic. "Really we do this because we like to find
bandsthatwe'veneverheardbefore,"saysDuke.
"A lot of new bands come out and start playing,
they just get into it. They don't know what to
expect."
"The bands are the kind that you have to dig
out of the woodwork. They just come out and
start playing," Duke says. "It's good for our
business, the industry and it's good for our music
scene."
The crowd decides who is victorious at the
end of the night. The judging is done in four
categories- -technical ability, originality, crowd
response and overall performance. Duke stresses
that the bands get their friends down to the battle
to help cheer them on.
"It's the type of music the club wants and it's
the sound that people come to hear. The whole
idea about the Battle of the Bands is to promote
original music," says DuJ..e."The bottom line is
that we want everybody to get out and see the
music."
The Battle of the Bands is now in it's fourth
week and continues for two more weeks. Eight
finalists will emerge from the battlefield. The
bands will enter into the semi-finals where they
will contend for the final four positions. Semifinals begin on June 14 and 21. The final battle
will be held on June 28.

events in particular enliven early
summer- The Oregon Bach Festival, Art and the Vinyard and The
Oregon Country Fair.
•For music-lovers The Oregon
Bach Festival (June 25 - July 10),
now in its 24th year, features Bobby
Mcferrin, pianist Jeffrey Kahane,
Turtle Island String Quartet, and
the Festival Symphony Orchestra
conducted by Hehnut Rilling performing the music of Haydn,
Brahms, Mendelssohn, Mozart and
- of course - J .S. Bach, says
Public Relations Director Susan
Utne.
This year, the Bach Festival presents "International EarPort," a series of two hour programs with the
younger generation in mind. Kids
can tour practice rooms and an
instrument "petting zoo," and attend an ethnic performance concert featuring Native American
Feather Dancers (June 26), the Latin
American group, Sandunga (July
3), and the Eastern European performers, Balladina (July 10), says
Utne.

If this summer is anything like
last year's, the heat is going to
have everyone wilting long before August rolls around.
Most of us can't afford the
luxury of jetting to the nearest
ice berg. Luckily, if you live in
the Eugene area you have a way
to get away from the heat, exercise and have fun all at the same
time.
If the summer heat is getting

COMMENTARY
BY SONJA TAYLOR
Last summer two of my girlfriends and I went looking for a
swimming hole that my father
had told me about. A great pool
with a waterfall and no sign of
civilization, he said.
We drove along on a well
hidden road for about three
hours. When we finally came to
a tum-off that had a path leading
down to a river, we decided we
were tired of looking for our

original destination and plunged
in, outfitted only in our birthday
suits. Several minutes later we
heard the sound of cars passing
overhead.
I suppose some people would
have immediately jumped out
of the water to dive for the nearest bush. We found it extremely
amusing that we had driven for
the last three hours searching
for a secluded spot and had ended
up next to, of all things, Highway 126!
Swimming is a summer recreational activity common everywhere. Here in Lane County
(especially the happy hippie
valley of Eugene), skinny dipping is a much more accepted, if
not practiced, past-time.
• The area contains many
places that are perfect for skinny
dipping. From Cougar Hot
Springs to Fall Creek there is
something to suit everyone.
(However, a word of advice,
don't go to Cougar after hours
unless you' re prepared to pay
the $20 fine. It closes after sunset.)
I know that there are people
out there who always wanted to
dip au naturel, but have been
afraid of being discovered or
arrested. In fact, the Oregon law
suggests that nudity isn't the
same thing as indecency. Oregon Revised Statue 163.465-

Eugene.
The fair, now in its 24th year,
offers up a mix of crafts, food,
music and vaudeville in a neotribal village setting.
This year, the fair circus will
move from its traditional home in
Daredevil Loop to the "Left
Bank"-an area opened last
year-to become the 'Theater of

Leslie Scott. The Flying
Karamazov Brothers - fair favorites -will return after a yearlong absence, she says.
In an effort to cut down on
crowds, the fair will sell tickets in
advance as well as at the event,
Scott says. "When ticket levels
pa~s a certain point - 16,000 on
Fnday and Sunday, 18,000 on
Saturday-we'll close the gate."
Fair coordinators expect a sellout on Saturday and perhaps another on Sund~y, Scott warns. She

can be a good thing
A person commits the act of
public indecency if while in, or
in view of, a public place the
person performs an act of exposing the genitals of the person
with the intent of arousing the
sexual desire of the person or
another person.
Being the fun loving and helpful person that I am, I called the
city attorney to find out about nudity regulations in our district.
There are no specific provisions
for skinny dipping in Eugene's
city code. The law prohibits people
8 years and older from showing
their genitals in a public place.
What is "public," then, seems
to be the key. A remote swimming
hole - away from a road or highway, and secluded from other
people - would probably not constitute a public place.

"The first time I ever saw
people skinny-dipping in a
public place was in 1971. I
was on my way to a peace
march in Washington D.C. and
I stopped in Albany New York.
The fountain in front of the
university was filled with naked
people. My buddies and I knew
we were in the right place."
-Jim Wychules, LC~ food
services manager.
"As long as it furthers the
educational process, I'm for it
(skinny dipping)."

Nature trail for the disabled

Moss hanging from trees like lace, a 500
year old Douglas fir, and the gentle bubbling of
Johnny Creek are some of the natural pleasures
easily accessible to the disabled and visually
impaired on the Johnny Creek Nature Trail.
The trail is located approximately 40 miles
southeast of Eugene n_ear the upper end of the
Fall Creek Reservoir. It was developed as a
cooperative effort by the Downtown Eugene
Lions, the Coburg Lions, Willamette National
Forest and the University of Oregon Department of Recreation.
Paved with asphalt and stretching one and a
half miles in length, the level trail is 34 to 38

inches wide and can easily accommodate a
wheelchair. There are no stairs and the wide
wooden bridges on the trail are double braced.
Designers of the trail have provided interpretive signs of wood in 1/4 inch print, and
nature markers pointing out items that those
with low vision can readily feel such as adowned
tree with an exposed root system and low hanging
maple arches.
To reach the Johnny Creek Trail, go south
on Highway 58 and turn left to Lowell, proceed
through the town and follow the signs to Fall
Creek Reservoir. Approximately 15 miles from
the Fall Creek Trail, watch for the Johnny Creek
sign, turn right and proceed approximately 50
feet to the trail parking lot.

Financial Aid
overcomes delays
BY LARRY HAFTL
associate editor

One of the most difficult
problems many students faced
this year was finding out their
financial aid status.
A new computer system,
unfamiliar computer software,
lack of opportunity to integrate
manual procedures with the new
computer system, loss of almost
25 percent of the Financial Aid
office staff and a 150 percent
increase in early applications
created delays of over two
months.
The problems began in December 1991 when LCC management decided to buy an administrative software package to
be installed on the new campus
mainframe computer by February 1992.
Director of Financial Aid

Linda Waddell said, "I went on
record as saying that was insufficient lead time for us to bring
up a new system and train people.
I was told that the college could
not afford to maintain the old
system at the same time as the
new one and that the new software would be as good as or
better than the old system."
Software supply problems
created an eight week delay.
Because of this, the first student
records were installed in May
instead of February.
Increased early applications
and loss of staff compounded
the problem.
"Those problems are behind
usnowandweareabletoprocess
applications in a reasonable
timeframe," says Associate Di-,...
rector Linda DeWitt. "We' 11 be
even more effective next year."

OSPIRG retains
student funding
BY LARRY HAFTL
associate editor
OSPIRG, Oregon Student Public Interest
Research Group, faced determined opposition
this yearwhenitsoughtrefunding through student
fees.
OSPIRG receives $2 per student per term to
fund its operations. Part of the money is used to
operate OSPIRG's LCC chapter and the rest is
sent to its state headquarters in Portland.
Under an informal agreement with LCC,
OSPIRG was required to seek continued funding
approval by student vote this year.
Led by ASLCC President Bill Hollingsworth,
the senate proposed a ballot measure that would
make funding of OSPIRG by student fees optional.
The senate also proposed a measure to cut
funding of the Child Care Co-op by $3 per student
per term and another measure to cut ASLCC
discretionary funding by $3 per student per term.
The money from these cuts was supposed to fund
the threatened Student Health Services.

measure to reaffirm funding from student fees

School closes due to icy roads
BY LARRY HAFTL
associate editor

Winter weather this year
forced the longest closure of
the main LCC campus in its 28
years of operation.
Freezing rain and snow
combined to force LCC President Jerry Moskus to close the
school from Jan. 7throughJan.
12. The decision came after
Moskus conferred with Director of Campus Services Paul
Colvin and other department
heads.
Several inches of snow on
top of black ice coated the
parking lots and walkways
making walking and driving
extreme! y hazardous.
Colvin said, "Luckily, to
my knowledge, no one has been
injured. Education is important
but not as important as the
health and safety of the students."
The UO remained open
during this period and at least

weather related injuries requiring medical treatment said UO
security officer Kay Coots.
According to LCC Director of Security Paul Chase, the
school has an obligation to keep
the campus open if at all pos-

sible and delays in starting
times are preferable to closures.
Unfortunately, a continuous
string of storm fronts made all
attempts to stay open futile.
The last day students could
drop classes and still receive a
full refund was delayed one
week and.

Community college budgets
suffer under Measure S's axe
BY SONJA TAYLOR
editor

On Dec. 41992, the Torch reported that LCC's
budget would have to absorb $4.1 million in cuts
over the next two years if the legislature were to
approve Governor Roberts' proposed budget reductions for education.
LCC President Jerry Moskus worried that the
college would have to arrive at those cuts by eliminating whole departments or programs, rather than
trimming budgets in each department. "When you
make across-the-board cuts you thin the soup for
everybody," he said.
But by Dec. 16 the administration proposed a less
drastic solution.
• The removal of primary health care from the
general fund.
• Budget adjustments and reallocations - moving selected fees and revenues (such as surplus
revenue from the Bookstore and Financial Services
fees) from restricted use to unrestricted use and
general control.
• A suggested increase in the 1993-94 tuition rate
of $1 per credit hour, as well as an increase in tuition
for non-credit classes.
• Program/function reductions - a total of 14
positions to be eliminated, approximately half of
which were currently vacant.
Toe college proposed to cut one position in each
of the following departments:

Students vote to fund
primary health care
BY SONJA TAYLOR
editor

On Feb. 10 the LCC Board of Education voted to eliminate college
funding of the primary health care offered at Student Health Services.
All members of the board were adamant that SHS was important to
the college and to the students. However, due to the pending budget
shortfalls, the board was required to make cuts and the elimination of
primary care from the general budgets was proposed by the executive
cabinet.
Several alternative avenues of funding were discussed, among them
a student fee approved by a student vote, or a fee levied by the board.
Board Chair Pat Riggs stated that she would rather not impose a
student fee withour the vote of the students.
In May the 1992-93 ASLCC Senate added a measure to the spring
ballot that asked students if they would be willing to pay an extra $6 per
term to keep primary care.
By a vote of 1082 yes to 187 no, students overwhelmingly agreed
to fund primary care through a student fee at the beginning of each term.

Counseling; management in Institutional Advancement; the third shift operator in Computer
Services staffing; management in Investment and
Support Services; Physical Education; and Business.
After public hearings, on Jan. 19 and Feb. 3 of
1993, to discuss proposed budget cuts the Board of
Education, at its Jan.25 meeting, heard the plan.
With the exception of cutting general fund support for Student Health, and approving tuition increases and program adjustments, the board will not
settle on the 1993-94 budget document until its June
16 rreeting.
An article in the Oregonian on April 14 announced that the House of Representatives had put
forth a proposal that would chop another $15 million from the already shrinking college budgets.
Rep. John Minnis, R-Wood Village, suggested that
one way to make up for the loss in funds would be
to raise tuition.
But, Vice President of Student Service Linda

"In general, students asked
some very good questions about
the processes involved with the
decision to raise tuition," said
Fossen. "However, we also saw
an understanding of the budget
crunch, and got the feeling that
students agreed with the recomrrendation."
1be committee's recommendations were:
• To raise in-state tuition to $26
per credit from $24.
• To change change internationaVout-of-state tuition to $91
per credit from $89.
• To increase high school tuition to $42 per credit from $40.
Change non-credit tuition from
$43 per 30-hour class from $41.
• To continue charging senior
citizens at 50percent ofcredit and
non<redit tuition.
On April 19 the LCC Board of
Education voted to raise tuition
by $2 per credit starting Summer
Term 1993 as suggested by the
tution co~ttee.

DOROTHY: You're the best Advisor a
person could have ( and one of the few

sane people on staft)! Thanks for putting up with all of us in our innocence/
ignorance/lack of respect for gravity.
May your summer be a restful one, and
may next year's crew be at least half as
disfunctional as this year's was. We'll
miss you.
I would like to thank those of you who
made my stay at LCC enjoyable, especially those who've been instrumental
in my sobriety and serenity for the past
two years. Sincerely, Arthur Mason.
GET WELL, Ginger and Persephone.
We love you.
Welcome home, Arial.
SARAH - How will we cope with the
lack of stress in our lives? Good gracious, we may have to take up knitting
or something just to keep us busy! Ugm~.

BERT & JAMES- Well guys, it's been
fun (in a weird "Three's Company" sort
of way). Be good and take heart - there
are lower life forms out there. -Sonja.
MR. GERMANY - I heard the
Xenomorphs were back, I hope they
didn't hurt you too badly. Stay away
from the Gamma Quadrant and you'll
do fine. Hey - ya know - I think I'm free
most of next week. Love, me.

UGMO: Although knitting is indeed a
worthy pastime, I shall have quite
enough stress from that pesky hormonal
imbalance of mine. Thanks for sharing
your home, clothes, food, cigarettes,
money, and that ever-so-wacky
roommate of yours. I love you more
than life itself (or at least more than
yucky diet). -Sarah.
SIS! Thanks for all your support - I did
it! You will be the success next year!
Here's to the Pattons ! Love - Tami.

ANNIE- I'm sorry we haven't spent
much time together lately. I miss you.
I hope I can see you when I come to

Love, your equal.

the proportion scale dialed up to 90%?

TO ALL MY TEACHERS, formal and

lessons learned at LCC to improve the
world around me as best I can. Sincerely, Larry Haftl.
LUKE: Watching yousmirk and dance
like a freak on a hot tin roof all year has

ANXIETY continued from page 4
want to do."'
He told Geyer he wanted to
start a class that dealt with math
anxiety. They started to put their
ideas together.
This spring is the first time
Math 20/College Success has
been offered and Steele says it is
working exceptionally well.
Students learn to cope with math
anxiety as well as learn to relax
while solving math problems.
One relaxation exercise asks
each student to visualize a mental "storage box" that contains
all outside thoughts the student
is thinking about before class.
Outside problems remain outside before the class begins.
Next, the student imagines
grassy meadows, a big city any comforting image. "Phyllis
has the students think of somewhere pleasant before they start
class, it helps them feel comfortable, relaxed," Steele says.
Homework is not "typical"
either.
"We have the students do
their homework on one side of
the page but on the other they
write down how they are feeling
at that moment. It is amazing to
see some of the answers," Steele
says, amazed.
"A woman wrote how acertain problem reminded her of
her third grade teacher scolding
her for not knowing how to do
the problem. The feelings,
the words she wrote were so
powerful. She had never
realized what exactly was holding her back until that moment."
That was a true break-

through, he says.
"I want to help people," he
says. "Let's say there was a student who had all of the qualities
to be a great nurse. But the only
problem was the math. That is
where Math 20/College Success
comes in. We aren't trying to
produce instant knowledge, just
understanding."
There is a pause and suddenly he jumps out of his chair
to explain. "Some students get
the 'big picture,' while others
need detail."
He draws "pies" (divided
circles) on the board and shades
parts explaining the "F-word"
(that would be the word that his
students give fractions, folks).
He says that for some reason,
fractions seem to be the worst
chapter of math the students face.
As he diagrams the "pies" on the
board he relates them to subjects
that the students deal with on a
daily basis, like dividing
dinner evenly for the family that
night.
Even I understand.
Math is not an easy subject
for a lot of people to grasp . I
know; I am still afraid of math.
But after talking to Mr. Steele
about his class, I feel I owe it to
myself to try to overcome my
fears, or at least, come to understand a subject that I have been
avoiding like the plague my
whole educational career.
Math 20 for the math
anxious,which includes College
Success, is listed with the other
Math 20 classes in the course
catalog.
