Care center feels crunch An acute shortage of staff members has left the University Child Care and Development Center with one of its biggest crises, CCDC office manager Becky Couch says. CCDC, which is licensed through the state and receives federal funding, provides child care services to the parents of about 85 children, and is staffed by 10 full-time teachers, five sub stitutes and 16 teacher aids. Four buildings house the CCDC, lo cated at 1511 E. Moss St. The problem facing Couch and the others at CCDC is the short age of teacher aides. Last year the number of aides topped 40, Corrections, amplifications The Chinese Student Association’s radio show, “From Orient to Oregon,” will go on the air Friday evenings from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Chinese Students As sociation also gained a 30 per cent increase in its budget this year, instead of the three per cent figure reported earlier. Finally, the CSA will not meet Friday for an orientation meeting. That session has al ready been held.

In a candidate’s forum Tuesday night, District 40 chal lenger Don Chalmers said he favors Ballot Measure 9, which would prohibit private utility firms from charging consumers for power plant construction costs. but now it is less than half that figure. “We haven’t been able to main tain the kind of service we’d like to give,” says Couch. “We've even had to turn away some people, but hopefully it won’t get to the point where we have to drop some of our customers.” “Usually we try to maintain a 6-1 ratio of older children to teachers,” says Couch, “and we have to maintain a 3-1 ratio for the smaller children. Those are both federal standards that we must meet to get funding, but we haven’t been able to maintain that ratio this year." CCDC began in Eugene Timber (Continued from Page 1) The pioneer period of West Coast logging lasted for about nine decades, gaining strength and momentum each year. Sud denly, big business began boom ing in the Northwest and the cor porate age of logging revamped the industry forever. The early conservationists who foresaw the destruction of the wil derness could not dent the timber barons’ control. In 1869, the founder of the Sierra Club, John Muir, wandered through the Sierra Nevadas and wrote that trees were “the very gods of the plant kindgom, living their sublime century lives in sight of Heaven, watched and loved and admired from generation to generation.” When Harsey amputates branches, he may not be thinking about the gods of the plant king dom.

Until now, the group has had few problems with staff shortages. “I really don't know what the problem is," says Couch. "We haven’t had any people stop by the office. It’s becoming a prob lem. We take people just because they’re a body, and that’s a terrible thing." According to Couch, the teacher aides work cooperatively with the teachers, planning ac tivities, supervising nap times and lunch and helping with activities such as field trips. "But so far we haven’t had any field trips because of the staff shortage,” she says. The CCDC teacher aide posi tions pay $3.00 per hour, Couch says. Some students have also worked at the center through an ESCAPE practicum, adds Couch. Students interested in working at CCDC may call the office at 686-4384 to set up an interview. r Greyhound Rx.
