MEETING DISASTER FACE TO FACE CBelowJ Being prepared for emergency situations that require immediate attention is something that includes a very small number of people. Victor King wants to be sure that he will be prepared. This is how mouth to mouth resuscitation is done. One of the most important prerequi- sites for usoaring high is knowing what to do in case of a disaster. Losing your homework, finding yourself in the wrong restroom, discovering that your zipper has been open all day long, Yes, these are all disasters, but C.B.U. is now preparing a few courageous stu- dents for major disasters. So let's get serious and talk about First Aid. First Aid is a new course at C.B.U. aimed at teaching students to be pre- pared for disasters. What would you do if someone near you was suddenly stricken with a heart attack? What if one of your friends was drowning or choking? Unfortunately, most of us wouldn't know what to do. 'Panic is a powerful thing and it usually takes over in situations like these if there is a lack of education on first aid. First Aid class is providing a possible remedy for the helpless feeling of panic. Some of the first-aid techniques taught in this class are mouth to mouth resuscitation CC.P.R.J, the heimlich ma- neuver, the treating of cuts and bleed- ing, and much more. The students practice on dummies to perfect tech- niques like C.P.R. and the heimlich maneuver. The students learn to treat both adults and infants because they require separate techniques of treat- ment. Along with learning invaluable information, the students will all be Red Cross certified at the end of their training. Dave Beckman, when asked why he took the class, said, '41 think it will be a good thing to know. All of the students in First Aid class share this same motivation. They want to be prepared for the disasters and emergencies that arise in everyday life. Instead of being a silent bystander in situations like these, why not be pre- pared? You might be the only one there who knows what to do. We're proud that C.B.U. is educating willing students to be prepared for disasters. It's all a part of soaring high. ACADEMICS 7

CREATIVELY SPEAKI G Cf all the required classes at C.B.U., probably one of the most popular is Speech. Speaking in front of a large crowd, for most people, is a frighten- ing experience. However, there's something different about giving speeches at C.B.U. It must be the relaxed atmosphere, among familiar people, that allows the students to settle down and really have a great time learning the fundamentals of good speech. This is very important since soaring high in life depends a great deal on social interaction with the world. Speech class relies heavily on a mixture of impromptu speeches and prepared speeches. Impromptu speeches, being the most beloved of all, are speeches assigned without notice or preparation. If the teacher gives you a topic to speak about, you must immediately give a speech on that topic. Impromptu speeches are a great way to sharpen one's ability to think clearly and organize those thoughts in a short period of time. In other words, this is when the gift of gab Cin a formal mannerj comes into good use. Other speeches required in the class include demonstrative, per- suasive, informative, and motiva- tional. The ability to speak to and commu- nicate with the world can give one the confidence he needs to lead a success- ful life. It is impossible to elude situ- ations in life when it's necessary to speak to large crowds. The kind of training that C .B .U. students recieve in speech class is important in develop- ing the fundamentals needed to be an effective speaker. This is another way C.B.U. is preparing students to soar high . CAboveJ Speech instructor, Paul Brock, passesjudgement on the students in his speech class. Fortunately, it is lenientjudgement. The students are graded on such things as organization, eye contact, and how many and uhm's and silent spaces they use. O O
