Terminal fear
II! can be
scared to
death
•
By Lisa Kkn Bach
Staff Writer
Most of the terminally ill patients that
Dr. Jeanne Achterberg works with are not
dying of disease — they are dving of fear.
"They are absolutely Scared to death."
said Achterberg during a lecture about
catastrophic illness Friday.
Achterberg is the director of research in
the Health Science Center at tile
University of Texas and is also a
psychology professor. Her lecture was
sponsored by the CSUF Department of
Psychology and the School of Health and
Social Work.
Achterberg dealt specifically with the
role of imagery in healing. She published
a book on the topic in 1985 and descibes
it as "using a prepared mind to counter a
feared event"
Imagery is not just visualization, said
Achterberg. "It's all those processes that
go on in your head: feelings, thoughts and
sensory events in the absence of the actual
events.
"It's really a sophisticated way of
asking them (the patient) how they feel,"
she said.
"Is there a relationship between the
blood and psychological reactions?" asked
Achterberg who added that research in the
field has been going on for some time.
"Can imagery be used as a therapy and
does the physical response change with
the mental image?
There is no evidence, that will satisfy

Farming students take stake
in ag future at FFA field day
can  survive   and  don't     charged on
StarT Writer
Approximately 1,600 high school
students throughout California analyzed
the quality of crops, animals and seeds
during CSUFs 39th annual Future
Farmers of America field day
competition Friday and Saturday,
according to Dr. Art Parham,
agricultural professor.
Dr. Harry Karle, assistant dean to
the School of Agriculture and Home
Economics, said these types of
competitions are important because
they "help younger people get on their
own feet"
The judges looked for pose,
confidence, ability to express
opinions, technical expertise and
uniqueness in the thought process,"
Parham said. They have to give then-
own reasons for the decisions they
made," he said.
Parham said having Vintage Days
the same time as the FFA competition
poses problems because it puts a strain
on the facilities and manpower.
"Ifs really incumbent for the
Associated Students and the students to
realize its importance and hopefully
work   out   the   conflicts   with   Vintage
Days   i
detract from each other," he said,
He said the future FFA competition
schedule at CSUF is set until 2008 so
it coincides with other FFA
competitions, in the state, which limits
their ability to accommodate Vintage
Days.
"These types of competi¬
tions ore important because
they help younger people
get on their own feet"
 —Dr. Harry KarU
There were fewer problems this year
than the last time the FFA competition
and Vintage Days coincided, Parham
said. "Vintage Days has helped and
made compromises." he said. "I think
the combination of the two events is
for the recruiting of
students." Parham said. "Held day has
great for the university and we have to
search for the resources to have the
optimum situation involved."
Another problem for the
competition was with the Satellite
College Union. This year, the SCU
charged $600 for the use of its facility,
which was used for the parlimcntary
procedure contest Parham said.
This is the first time we have been
it and litis year, the
AS. government gave us money to
pay the bill" he said.
"As long as the student government
continues to pay, ifs no problem, but
if it takes its money away, we would
be in big trouble."
James Aschwanden, an agricultural
teacher at Gait High School. - said
those participating in FFA learn by
doing. This reinforces the skills they
learned and apply it outside the
classroom," he said. *~***\.
Aschwanden said die agriculture
crisis has hurt the activities o'. the
FFA. "A lot of minds are set that
agriculture is going though tough
times," he said. "We must show there
are still a lot of careers in ag."
Arroyo Grande High School Jerome
Brown-Suva competed in the vegetable
judging contest Brown-Suva said he
looks for size, firmness, consumer
acceptability, and blemishes.
He said it takes him five to 10
minutes to examine the crops, but must
spend one to two hours a day, four
days a week practicing. "It takes a lot
of studying," he said.
