“Radiant, iridescent clarity and
unsentimental romanticism ... a thriller.''
—HIGH TIMES
“PAYDIRT is a film full of looming ironies,
crisp wit, and poignant humor.”
—SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
“PAYDIRT is a contemporary film that feels
like it comes out of the lives and experiences
of a generation. Along with films like
HEARTLAND and SECAUCUS SEVEN, PAYDIRT
may well be part of developing regional cinema of
feature films that are indiosyncratic, entertaining,
and original.

The work experience school
Community Action Program offers student jobs
By Debbie Howiett
Otth* Em*raM
Some University students can't wait to go to
work In fact, some would rather work than go
to class
The University Community Action program
offers University students the chance to work
32 hours per week and receive 12 hours of
credit per term while receiving a $175 stipend
“Basically what you're doing is going to
school in a work setting,” says Laurie Walker,
the UCA recruiter. “You actually get to apply
what you’ve learned "
The students are placed in one of several
community service outlets around Lane Coun
ty in an internship-type program Students pay
tuition each term and may take classes as well
The program runs for three quarters during the
academic year
The program places students in positions
such as a counselor/advocate at the Chicano
Affairs Center or a crisis worker at a shelter
home for battered women Positions at Com
munity Service of Lane County (formerly Har
mony House) or at Eugene Emergency Hous
ing are also available Walker says there are
quite a few agencies to choose from
“We try to offer as much of a variety as
possible — from direct counseling to man
agement," Walker says
Walker also stresses that students don't
work as glorified file clerks
"These students don't just go in and ob
serve, they're actually doing."
Getting accepted into the program is fairly
quick and painless, Walker says A student fills
out an application and then goes through an
interviewing process If the student is accept
ed, several interviews between the student, the
prospective employer and UCA are done
Walker says that while UCA advocates the
student's choice, everything must be equitable
between the prospective employer, UCA and
the student
"The staff really tries to find your interest and
really challenge you,” Walker says
The reason for the nine-month program,
Walker explains, is to keep the continuity
between the student and the employer going
The program will also satisfy curricula
requirements in most schools and depart
ments, Walker says
The best thing about the program though,
Walker says, is the benefit of finding out if what
you are doing is something that you want to
continue after receiving a degree
"I found out I liked working better than
school," Walker says
Both graduate and junior and senior under
graduate students are eligible to participate
The deadline for application is the end of the
academic school year The program runs from
September to June For more infromation,
contact Walker at 686-3813 or Room 109
Hendricks Hall
Employers enjoy as many benefits as students
"It's a great program If I was a student, I
would definitely consider getting into it It really
helps you get your feet wet and prepare for
later on ”
So says Mary Alice Brown, supervisor of
Community Services of Lane County Inc ,
about the intern program she runs through the
University Community Action program Com
munity Services of Lane County is one of
several agencies which operates an "intern"
program through the University, as does Com
munity Health and Social Services of Lane
County, with Janet Chappell supervising in
terns
Each year, the University Community Action
center, located in Hendricks Hall, supplies
these two agencies with at least two students
The students, most of whom are Community
Service and Public Affairs majors, work
through the academic year, earning
$175/month for a 32-hour work week as well
as 12 credits per term towards their major
Both Chappell at Community Health and
Social Services and Brown at Community
Services of Lane County are very pleased with
the program and its benefits for students
Chappell has employed Lannom as an admin
istrative assistant, and she feels that "the
administrative assistant job is something that
will help the student a great deal in getting a
job The work is very project oriented "
Chappell adds, "we've been fairly choosy in
that we want students with initiative who do not
expect to be over-supervised, and we've been
able to get those kind of students so far,"
Brown says "We’ve been involved with UCA
for six years, and we re very pleased with the
program "
In addition, the program enables the agen
cies to save money that they can use for other
things, while giving the students an opportuni
ty to use the concepts they have learned Is the
program worthwhile?
Brown and Chappell answer with a re
sounding yes "Sure — it's a very valuable
program,” says Brown
Says Chappell; "as long as we have the
money to continue the program, we ll have it "
EARN OVER $1100 A MONTH
AND OPEN THE DOOR TO A TOP
ENGINEERING FUTURE.
How many corporations would be willing to pay you over $1100 a
month during your junior and senior years just so you’d join the
company after graduation? Under a special Navy program we re
doing just that. It’s called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer
Candidate-College Program. And under it, you’ll not only get
great pay during your junior and senior years, but after
graduation you’ll receive a year of valuable graduate-level
training that is not available from any other employer.
If you are a junior or snior majoring in math, engineering or
physical sciences, find out more today. And let your career pay
off while still in college.
