made a rude comment about my
breakfast and sard Ob that s ter

look She was sell-righteous

place after she left.' Curtis said
Aime Baissac. a graduating
senior in sociology and romance
languages, had her mosl memo
rable e»oefionce in college, not
here in Eugene, but on a Univer
Sfty program to Ecuador
I just learned so much and
met some really great people
who could iook beyond then

Baissar said My host family
d<Jn t understand anything I said
the first day They told me this a
tew weeks later when I could talk
better
That experience has made
me wish to travel more and learn
more about Third World coun
tries That's why I ve decided to
go into the Peace Corps I'm go

' Jon Motohiro. a graduating
, senior in marketing and manage
ment. said tha memory that
stands out most in his mind is
his first impression of Eugene
The first thing you look back
on is what you thought of school
i saw a fiekt of sheep by the Eu
gene airport and thought whal
did I get myself into The airport
was one little shack and now its
totally different. Motohiro said
Coming to she University, I
had no idea where Eugene. Ore
gon was. he said "The first
thing i d-d was go straight to the
encycioped a Our perception of
Oregon it, so limited and when
you see a small airport and
sheep you think uh-oh
Rachel Pollm, a graduating
senior in sociology, had iwo
memories that stood out above
the rest One was very recent for
her of the Rodney King trial pro
test on campus and the other
was being a facilitator for wom
en s studies classes
i was upset about the trial so
I got out of classes early and
went to the protest It was the
first lime I as a college student
heard black voices on this cam
pus I knew of racism before but
never heard about it from the
mouths of the people who expe
rienced it," Polltn said
"I left the power of people
who cared coming together mak
ing a statement I was scared
when people started breaking
the windows The most powerful
moment was when we raised our
lists lor a moment ol silence.
I lound facilitating women's
studies to be an eye opening ex
perience I learned about over
coming homophobia I learned
that I had been raised in a
homo-phobic environment
Learning to overcome it was the
most important part ol my expe
rience It was the first time I had
positive role models that were
lesbians
The facilitators were a tight
group and we would go bowling
3nd hang out together.'' Pollin
said
This is just a small sample ol
the wide variety ol memories the
graduating seniors are taking
away with them. Enjoy your time
at school because before you
know it you may find yourself
reminiscing about your times at
