By SUSAN SCHLANGEN Of the Emerald Photos by DENNIS HICKOK Vocational social change involves tak ing risks, evaluating personal goals, identifying support systems and main taining family strength, according to a four-woman panel at a University YWCA “Women/Speak brown bag lunch Tues day. The panel consisted of Marion Barnes of Clergy and Laity Concerned-Peace Center; Adeline Brunner, YWCA board member; Lynn Passy, New Careers in Mental Health and Lyndia Wilt, radio sta tion KLCC-FM development director. The discussion topic, “Vocations for Social Change,” led the women to talk about their job experiences. Barnes, Brunner and Wilt were teachers, but have entered non-traditional and more flexible job markets. Wilt said she might leave her job at KLCC to become a carpenter or a res taurant manager. Passy, however, works inside the system with the Univer sity, Lane Community College and local agencies to help other people enter non-traditional job markets. Volunteer, workstudy and intern posi tions are good ways to begin potential, alternative jobs, Barnes says. Volunteer work in Eugene cooperatives and collec tives is another way to get started, she says. She encouraged the small audi ence to develop a sense of purpose, open their imaginations and expose themselves to different places and peo ple. “If you believe something, it’s not worth much if you don’t act on it," Barnes said. She added that money has never been an obstacle, even though she only makes $350 a month. Passy said work has always been a “major organizing factor” in her life. “It’s a myth that women have to choose between a family and a career." The panel members agreed that women can have both a family and a career. Although the panel favored education, they agreed a bachelor’s degree is not a necessary requirement in the job mar ket. Brunner said she wished she could have worked before entering school. Three more Women/Speak sessions are scheduled for Feb. 14, 21 and 27. K.

Munson said the Charleston es tuarine area (a marshy area of land and water frequently washed by tides) is rare in Oregon be cause most similar areas have been destroyed by logging and building development. ‘‘It’s as good as could be found,” he says. Munson notes there are no es tuarine areas in the state with vir gin timber, saying “They were the first areas to be logged; we are just too late.” However, he says the south slough area has recovered the best and boasts the highest water quality of any of Oregon’s es tuarine areas. >BULL SHED 853 E 13th Ave Now open 8~rTfYT-2'30 pm WEEKENDS featuring breakfast ^'urx.h The sanctuary is the home of a variety of wildlife, including the bald eagle, great Blue Heron and aquatic life like young Dungeness crab and salmon — all of which will provide fertile ground for one of the area's main purposes — re search. Monitoring of such factors as salinity, temperature, nutrient con tent and turbidity (muddiness) of the water will allow scientists and students at the Institute to answer questions about how various parts of Pacific Northwest estuarine ecosystems interrelate. This will provide information for making fu ture coastal management deci sions. But the future of the sanctuary will depend on money. “We can’t do anymore (pur chasing of estuarine lands) until we receive further funding,” Mun son says. He was "basically optimistic” that private donations will come in to allow the additional purchases, or private owners along the es tuary, including Coos Head and Moore Oregon lumber companies which would be willing to donate their holdings to the sanctuary.
