Students get health care
By Dave Holmes

Entering it’s second year of
operation, the Health and
Wellness Center, located in
Trailer A, offers students and
staff the opportunity to meet
their health and medical
needs.
Debbie Baker, director of
student activities, said that the
Center seems to be filling the
needs of it’s patrons. “I’m
real pleased with this current
set-up,” said Baker, alluding
to the Center’s reorganization
two years ago. “It seems to be
meeting the demand.”
After instituting limited
hours for the professional nur
sing staff from full-time to six
hours per week, the Center,
according to Baker, continues
to offer a full range of ser
vices. Aspirin, Band-Aids, and
complete physical examina
tions are available. Schedules
are available at the trailer and
services are free.
One of the services offered
is the Wellness area of the
Center. Cough lozenges, a cot,
scales, and all types of health-
related literature are in this
area.
“If a person wants some in
formation on, say, cancer, we
have many pamphlets
available with the latest infor
mation,” Baker said.
Baker also said that the
Health and Wellness Center
offers information and advise
on various methods of birth
control, but does not offer
contraceptives directly to pa
tients. The Center’s policy is
one of referral, where a pa
tient is directed to either a
physician or clinic better able
to handle the continual
monitoring that best suits cer
tain methods of birth control.

Poet starts day
amid thousands
By Loretta Carter

Among 1,000 books or
more and electrical devices,
one man stands out. Actually
he stands behind the counter
in the College’s library.
Bright-eyed and bristly at 7:45
in the morning, Jim Edg
ington, 35, makes his ap-
pearence and starts his day’s
journey of wondering through
the many books of knowledge
and answering the dozens of
questions put before him each
eight-hour work day.
Edgington has worked in
this atmosphere of whispers
and “Quiet Please” signs for 7
years. Edgington said he likes
his work at the College.
He has been married to his
wife Maggie for 9 years and
has a little girl 4 years old.
The Edgington’s live in Jenn
ings Lodge and Edgington said
his ambitions are to “raise my
family and pay off our
home”. He was born in Sisters
and is one of three children.
Edgington loves to go fly
fishing and play basketball
and chess. Of all of his in
terests and talents, his
strongest desire is to play the
piano. Edgington holds a
Bachelor’s degree in Music
Education from Linfield Col
lege.
Edgington is currently the
vice-president of the Oregon
Association of Certified
Employees (OACE) at the
College. He was elected this
year.
Jim Edgington
Another one of Edgington’s
interests is writing poetry.
Even though he is only an
amateur writer, Edgington
said, “I’m very happy just
writing for my family and
friends.”
Edgington said that one of
his lifetime desires is to hike
the Skyline Trail. The Skyline
Trail goes from Canada to
Mexico and is accessable only
on foot.
