When the lively teacher isn’t working, he reads Latin litera ture, his favorite style of litera ture. He listens to music, and traveling is a major priority. “I have been all over the world, but I want to travel to more places,” said Junquera. The humorous instructor still has things on his “to-do” list, like parachuting from a plane, learning more languages and traveling more. If he had a choice of living anywhere in the world, he couldn’t choose only one place; he would live in sev eral parts of the world. One should know a few things about Junquera. “I’m a terrible dancer,” said Junquera. The stereotype of a Latin man being a terrific dancer ijs not true in this case. Also, if he could have any other occupation, he would teach Tai- Chi. “I’m interested in the health part of it,” said Junquera. Whatever the job, teaching has something to do with it. “My favorite part is the teaching.” Junquera has a strong drive to teach and it shows in the classroom.

Plant Propagation includes all the different methods of creating and multiplying plants. She also has a strong interest in getting people to understand that we have limited resources so they can use drought-toler ant plants. “Water is in limited supply,” W riters ' C lub C( said Harber, it’s all about “get ting the right plant in the right place.” That is why she is ekcited T about the new Water Efficient Demonstration Garden, which is located just east of Clairmont Hall.

Harber grew up on a fatm with a large family in Indiana, where she completed her bach elor’s degree in biology, with a Joanne Bergstrom Clackamas Print minor in botany. Even then, she was interested in the applied side of horticulture, and wanted to work helping farmers. After receiving her doctorate at OSU in Corvallis, Harber said, “I felt isolated from real people, and was on the path of discovering myself and where I fit in.” “Now I am teaching,” she said. “I am really enjoying it. I love the students. It is great fun.” T 115^^ You may submit up. to three ems, one essay, and one piece of fic in.
