ESCAPE offers
community work
By KEVIN HACKETT
Of the Emerald
‘‘We like to think that we provide
students with an opportunity to
gain people skills’.”
Susannah Malarkey, director of
ESCAPE (Every Student Caring
About Personalized Education),
considers the ESCAPE program
to be unique among other prog
rams offered on campus because
it is a student-run program offering
university credit.
Entering its ninth year of exis
tence, ESCAPE works with local
elementary and secondary
schools, in addition to community
service agencies. It also provides
student volunteers to work as
tutors, aides, informal counselors
and instructors within these in
stitutions. In exchange for their
work, the students gain credit
along with "people skills.”
Malarkey said while ESCAPE
usually places 500 to 600 stu
dents each term, there is always a
dire need for more volunteers.
ESCAPE serves 46 elementary
schools, 24 secondary schools
and 18 community service agen
cies ranging from the Eugene
Sports Program to the Whitebird
Socio-Medical Aid Station. Malar
key said the various institutions
have been extremely happy with
ESCAPE’S services and their only
complaint is that more volunteers
are needed.
The majority of ESCAPE volun
teers are CSPA or education ma
jors. She said students in other
fields shouldn’t ignore the oppor
tunities for self-development that
are made available through es
cape.
Students can also serve as vol
unteer coordinators within the
ESCAPE program, Malarkey said.
Susannah Malarkey
The coordinators work with 10 to
12 student volunteers. The stu
dents and their coordinator meet
for weekly seminars to discuss
successes and problems they're
experiencing in their jobs. They
also study a cirriculum in areas
such as problem solving and
teaching strategy.
Many times, Malarkey said,
ESCAPE is asked to fill a special
need within a local school such as
finding a tutor for a Spanish
speaking elementary student who
needs help in history or math.
ESCAPE tries to match one of its
volunteers who posesses the re
quired skills to the job. Malarkey
said if a person with the required
skills can't be found within the
ESCAPE program then they will
advertise to fill the need.
It isn't too late for students to
join the ESCAPE program this
term. Students can register in the
coming weeks at the ESCAPE
table in the EMU or drop by
ESCAPE'S offices in Room 327
EMU. Malarkey emphasized vol
unteer coordinators as well as
regular volunteers are needed.
support rendered
in Upward Bound
By MELODY WARD
Of the Emerald
Not all students or programs at
the University fall into the category
of "high school graduates only."
Upward Bound is a program that
provides high school students
who have shown academic prom
ise, but are having difficulty in their
course work wilh the kind of skill
building, support and counseling
they need to succeed.
‘‘We feel that it is our job to
make students aware of what is
available, ’ ’ says director Pearl Hill.
“With motivation and the neces
sary skills they can take advan
tage of the available resources.”
Each year about 70 students
participate in the program. During
summer term they come to the
campus for eight weeks of class
es. The on-campus opportunity
helps students become involved
in various types of social and
extra-curricular activities while
they live in dorms with a group
counselor.
During the regular academic
year the Upward Bound staff de
velops a aniculum of core class
es and electives to be taught the
following summer. Hill says the
program is concerned with “turn
ing students on" to the learning
process as well ao mastering the
basics.
This summer, science students
built a solar oven and anthropol
ogy students designed a model
city from the water mains up.
The staff also wages an inten
sive recruitment program during
the fall, winter and spring months.
“We re on the road quite a bit,"
says Hill. The campus Upward
Bound program is one of four in
the state and has target areas in
Portland, Eugene/Springfield,
Coos Bay and near Roseburg
Hill stresses that Upward
Bound attempts to recruit stu
dents who have a definite com
mitment to learning. Many former
Upward Bound students are now
employed at universities or in
many professions, although not all
participants go on to post
secondary study after graduating
from high school.
“We’ve wasted a kid’s time if we
don’t make him aware of the pos
sibilities," Hill remarks. Upward
Bound counselors help the stu
dents research career options and
vocational or technical oppor
tunities.
Besides the regular staff, Up
ward Bound recruits counselors
and instructors each year in
January, and tutors are needed
during the regular school year in a
variety of areas. About 10 tutors
are needed to work with local high
school students for practicum
credit. Interested persons should
apply at 322 Condon, 686-3501.
Federally-funded, the campus
Upward Bound program received
notice in August that its grant of
$134,178 for the next three years
had been approved. Upward
Bound has been on campus since
1965.
