Big Brothers, Big Sisters: ‘the main thing is to be a friend’ Story By CLAY EALS Of the Emerald Heli Lanz has a friend he sees at least once a week. Heli and 11-year-old Scott Vaughn go roller-skating, motorcycling and swimming, but on this day the two are in University Park at 23rd Avenue and University Street playing football After an hour or so of screen passes and end runs, Heli and Scot i walk over to the EMU to get a coke and play the pinball machines in the basement. "Scott likes the pinball machines,” Heli says. Heli and Scott have been friends for more than a year and heir friendship will probably continue for at least another year "I'm not going to leave him now.” Heli says. Photos By PHIL WALDSTEIN Barry Puett, 18, a Big Sister and a junior at the University, wrestles on the bars with her Little Sister, Christy Ban. Christy and her sister Marci. both »-year-old fourth graders at Edison Elementary School have been involved in the program with Puett since January. Heli. a 21-year-old University student, is Scott’s “Big Brother” under the campus YM-YWCA Big Brother-Big Sister program How do you be a Big Brother or Big Sister"’ Scott Vaughn. 11, enjoys a high hop on the teeter-totter with his Big Brother, Heli Lanz, a 21-year-old University student. Both have been in the program for a year. “The main thing is to be a friend to a kid. not a counselor or a Santa Claus,” says Penny Hubbard. “One thing some kids don’t have is someone who give them a little love and security.” Hubbard is hoping to find some 100 "friends” on the University campus during the next few weeks, students who can form a one-to-one relationship with a child five to 15 years of age. She is campus coordinator of the Big Brother-Big Sister program which has begun its annual fall drive for volunteers. Planned for today is an orien tation session for students who want to be Big Brothers or Big Sisters. It will be held at 7 p.m. in the EMU, and a slide show about the program will be shown. The Big Brother-Big Sister program works simply. A student volunteers to be a Big Brother or Big Sister to a child in the Eugene area, and, after being in terviewed, is matched up with a child recommended by the local 4-J school district. The student meets regularly with the child, usually once or twice every two weeks, and the two just go out and have a good time. “It’s really open,” Hubbard says. “As a Big Brother or Big Sister, what you do with a kid is strictly up to you.” She says outings can range from a two’tlay camping trip to walking to the corner ice-cream store for a treat. University student interest in the program has been “really going downhill” in the past few years, because “the political activity on campus took people away from community service things,” Hubbard says. “But, I think people are getting back into it; it’s the trend of the times,” she says. Big Brothers are matched up with male children and Big Sisters are paired with female children, Hubbard says. Though both women and men volunteers are always welcomed, “there are never enough Big Brothers,” she says. Though Heli says “it sure is hard to find the time” to see Scott regularly, he says he completely enjoys the experience of being his friend. Hubbard stresses that friend ships between the program’s student volunteers and the children don’t materialize in stantly. “Kids, you know, they’re just people, they go through the same changes as we do. What may not in November seem like a very strong relationship can turn out to be really far out in May.” I CLASSIFIEDS 1 Deadline piace in 301- Allen, Emerald Office, or at the EMU Main Desk by 2:00 p m one working day preceding publication Classified Rates 8c per word the first day, 6c per word for each consecutive insertion.
