One horrible thing leads to an\thfr. $ > % KECHO> J word alone. The implication of “touch” usually elicits positive thoughts and responses. When I contacted Arlene Jurgens, chairper son of the College nursing department, with a proposed topic, she was excited about a new concept in alternative^ ‘health tare called “therapeutic touch.” Her enthusiasm was cat ching. The concept of “therapeutic touch” is based on the human body having an excess of energy. The person who gives therapeutic touch makes an effort to direct his excess energy to another person (who may not be at his optimal energy level because of illness, stress, or for psychological reasons) and thereby brings up that person’s energy to a more appropriate level. Arlene Jurgens has been working exten sively since 1977 with Dolores Krieger, RN, Ph.D. who is nationally known for her work in this area and for her book, “The Therapeutic Touch-How to Use Your Hands to Help or to Heal.” Krieger terms the process a “healing médiation” in which “the healer becomes quiet and passively “listens” with her hands as she scans the body of the patient and âttunes to his or her condition.” She feels that the energy transfer process is done “psychologically by a kind of electronic transfer resonance.” There are physiological changes, such as changes in EEG, pulse rates, and hemoglobin, which have been documented during the therapeutic touch process, according to Jurgens. “Something is causing these changes, even if it is in their own mind.” Touch is a “sunshine” of life, a shared warmth which is part of the natural life process. A light, reassuring touch or intimate contact bet ween couples, a firm hug between parent and child, and an arm placed on the shoulder of a friend are desirable and necessary for physical and mental well being. Modern life, with its increasing machine orientation, all its changes and stimuli, influence and many times upset the equilibrium of our delicate systems. The quality of attention in rela tionships in everyday life could be “preventative medicine” for many physical and psychological imbalances. Arlene Jurgens is the first to recognize the skeptical responses to “therapeutic touch” as a HEALING mechanism. However, she feels positively about its future. “We are academic, and as people, we have tended not to pay attention to the intuitive side. It is a potential that ALL of us have; but most of us haven’t taken the time to develop it or even have the awareness that we have the potential” she noted. “Medication arid surgery are important—but this could be an alternative. Peo ple do have some choices andLcontrol over their Own lives.” This is what the Associated Collegiate Press thinks about THE PRINT ^Editorial artist is to be commended for an excellent, professional job! "Does an excellent job of covering all areas of campus life.

Over the past weeks, people have been abandon ing animals on campus. Last Wednesday, a puppy was left up here to fend for itself. The next day, a box of kittens was abandoned. Both days were cold and rainy, and the former day was a vaca- tipn. The animals are en ding up at the ASG office where the staff haven’t the time, nor the means, of tak ing care of them. Please, if you have a pet that you cannot take care of, contact the Human Society or the local pound. Leaving them on campus is cruel and, possibly, fatal. Clackamas Community College
