Sigma Tau Delta conference held at Parkside • Kristine Hansen Staff Writer Lovers of literature and aspiring poets gathered at Parkside November 17 and 18 for the Sigma Tau Delta regional conference. The theme ofthe conference was "Tales ofthe Past, Present, and Future." Sigma Tau Delta is the international honor society for English majors. Friday night offered storytelling by TAL.E.S. and Irish folk music by Green Side Up as entertainment for conference goers. Many had traveled from as far as Iowa and southern Indiana and thus, a social evening complemented by hors d'oeurves was appropriate. Multicultural storyteller Mary Norris said her stories are "folk tales that have a lot ofliterary elements." One story is about Tia and her pear tree, of which wild neighborhood boys climb. A magician grants her a wish: she wishes all who climb her pear tree to never come down. When Death climbs the tree, Tia holds him there until an elderly friend confides to Tia her wish to die. "If! had one wish, I'd wish they could all hear me," Norris said about the deaf children she has . encountered. Eddie Richter, a Waukegan storyteller for 8 years, grew up in the same hometown as Jack Benny, the king of all storytellers, Continued on page 8 II Student Health Services , 'I • Kristine Hansen Staff Writer Articles in The Ranger News and discussions between administration and the Disabilities Awareness Committee have heightened concern about .the Student Health Services' future. On November 16 Gary Grace, Assistant VP of Student Affairs, Steve McLaughlin, Dean of Students, and Sharon Eaves, acting director of Student Health Services, spoke to about 20 students and faculty on the truth behind Student Health Services. Dale Wheeler, Chemistry professor and also disabled, facilitated. Constructive planning has been in the works for several years at Parkside. In 1986 residence halls were added and in 1991 Grace started exploring options to maximize SHS's limited space. Two choices still remain: to remodel existing space or to remodel adjacent space. Repairs on existing space are an estimated $250,000. Ayear ago, last spring, when KR decided to cease operations, Grace knew he had found a solution. Why not relocate SHS to KR's 3500square feet? He pointed out that not a single state dollar is fed into SHS, except for counseling services; Parkside dollars entirely support it. Still, he asks, "How can we improve the services and give students and staff value for what they pay?" Grace was told by the state: "We're not even sure Parkside should have a health center since doctored medical centers are right across the street [St.Catherine's Hospital]. "One of these days we're going to have to move," said Sandy Reeves, former SHS director, to Eaves. Eaves gave reasons for needing to move to KR. Records are kept in locked file cabinets in a public area, there is no separate area for "dirty room" disposal, and the top of the refrigerator is used for lab tests and pregnancy tests. A secure reception area, place for files, and exam rooms would be possible at KR. Representatives of counseling services, disabled students, and Peer Health Educators were at the meeting to voice their concerns. All seemed to . agree that a special aspect of Parkside is that almost everything is under one roof. However, Grace feels that "if the service is valuable and responding to needs, it doesn't matter where it's at." A Peer Health Educator reasoned,"When we're disserviced, our students are disserviced," referring to counseling services being forced to move along with SHS. "We don't physically need to be together to get our jobs done." Peer Health Educators want to reach out to all students and are afraid moving to an unreachable location would detract students. A suggestion was made to create "emergency" facilities in the present SHS space to accommodate crises. These facilities would also cater to the needs 0: Parkside's disabled students, with the main headquarters in KR building. Discussions on a possible SHS move to KR building were "precipitated by professional staff saying they don't have adequate medical facilities," explained Grace. Grace urges students to make suggestions to him for new organizing or new fund sources and put them into writing. • • • • • • o 0 eo e 0" •• • e e • o o()oooo o 0 0 0 0 • •• • • • • a. . • •• • • • • e a • • From All Of Us At Tentines &.
