Student Bar Association sponsors lectures Basic legal rights and remedies will be the topic of a series of free lectures spon sored bv the University Law School Student Bar Association beginning Wednesday. People's Law School, which will host the series, is a community education pro gram created to provide basic legal informa tion for those? who may not be? able to pur chase? that information, said Edward Gerdes, PLS co-director. The students felt that they had a respon sibilitv to the community to give back some of the knowledge they are learning to the community.” Gerdes said. "PLS also gives law students an oppor tunity to express what they have learned in a setting which is beneficial to understan ding how legal theories are applied in prac tical settings.” said jill Allyn. PLS co director. Because People’s Law School teachers are law students, law prohibits them from giv ing specific legal advice. Gerdes said. However, teachers can explain what specific rights the law provides. Now in its 16th year, the program is be ing offered after a one-year absence. PLS. which has been in planning since August, is composed of three co-directors and 20 first-, second- and third-year law students who will teach the courses. Originally. PI.S was a subgroup of the National Lawyers Guild, but has since become its own independent group. The classes will be held on Jan. 29 at Santa Clara Elementary. 2658 River Road. Eugene; and on Feb. 26 at Springfield Mid dle School, 1804 G Street. Springfield. Par ticipants need not register and there are no required books or readings. Gerdes said.

Students who get a handle on procrastination are more likely to graduate, or at least to “get through life more gracefully,” she said. "It will be the dif ference between getting what you want or not.” There are eight styles of pro crastination, and most people fit into at least three of the categories. Cornyn-Selby said. “We say procrastination and we think it’s this huge thing.” she said. “You need to find the definition that fits you.” The action-junkie pro crastinator. the perfectionist procrastinator, the crazy making procrastinator and the "nice” procrastinator are some of the eight procrastinating styles. There are benefits to each style of procrastination, so Cornyn-Selby does not recom mend giving up putting things off, but instead recommends understanding and modifying styles of procrastination, she said. For example, the action junkie procrastinator often puts things off until the last minute because it's more exciting, Cornyn-Selby said. "People say ‘I work well under pressure,' ” she said. "A lot of people can’t work well unless they wait." Because this type of pro crastinator craves action and ex citement, the procrastination can stop if the person receives action in other ways, Cornyn Selby said. Procrastination is one of the worst forms of self-sabotage, she said. “It is, simply, when we say we’re going to do something and then we go about making sure it doesn’t happen,” accor ding to her book. "People are sabotaging their own efforts," Cornyn-Selby said. “People will say they need to lose weight while eating a hot fudge sundae." 1 /2 PRICE! Oregon West T N E S S ACT NOW!
