CALEIDOSCOPE

The Write Way Because of their predictable frequency in academic papers, this month’s column focuses on a commonly confused word pair and two faulty thesis statements. Correcting the errors requires some effort, of course, but the effort pales when measured against the immediate academic success you'll enjoy. Can you correct the problems in the following sentences? “If you don’t wish to read the book now, please remove it's reserve tag and return it to me.” “In this paper, I will identify the problems that occurred under President Franklin Roosevelt’s administration.” “There are many differences and many similarities in the speaking styles of the two ministers.” The first sentence above commits what is likely the most widespread possessive case error in English, so much so that a colleague believes that a previous column's brief reference to the error bears a more thorough discussion this time around. Corrected, it should read, “If you don't wish to read the book now, please remove its reserve tag and return it to me.” “It’s” is a contraction meaning either “it is” or “it has”–nothing more. “Its” is a possessive case pronoun. We probably confuse the two forms because we forget that all possessive case pronouns have “built-in” apostrophes. To add an apostrophe to the hidden one, then, is to add the kind of redundancy illustrated in the following sentences: “Give John his’ book”; “This book is your’s”; “This

book is our’s”; “Return the book to its’ designated area”; and “They thought the books were theirs’ to keep.” (If you avoid using contractions in academic papers, you’ll avoid these kinds of potential errors.) Re: the remaining sentences: A thesis statement not only must avoid announcing with a personal pronoun the content of an essay, but it also must avoid stating a fact instead of a supportable opinion. In other words, that problems occurred during the Roosevelt presidency is factual; that similarities and differences exist between the speaking styles of two ministers is also factual. Replace the vagueness with precise opinions (perhaps about the effects of the problems or about the reason one minister’s speaking style, unlike the other’s, engages the audience). Moreover, using the expletive “there are” only compounds the problem of a weak thesis. To improve your writing skills (and earn high marks on your papers as a result), you’ll find few moments more worthwhile than spending time with your English handbook reviewing the characteristics of an effective thesis statement.

Balance 101: Campus couple shares secrets for love & college by Nathan Dunkel, student correspondent Relationships are complicated enough, but try adding college classes, extracurricular activities, a job, and trying to find time to study. Where does all the time go? CCCCD students are all too familiar with the struggle for balance between class and personal lives, and, with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, Caleidoscope is profiling one campus couple that is making it work. A CCCCD-born romance, Robby Kirschner and Loni Lambeth, began during the summer of 2001 at freshman orientation. “Everyone in the group was numbered off for a scavenger hunt around campus,” Lambeth said. “We were put in the same group and it took Robby forever to get my

name right.” Since Kirschner moved here that summer from The Woodlands, Texas, Lambeth kicked off the relationship by inviting him to different activities with her and friends. “She was the first girl I met here,” Kirschner said. We became really good friends and because we got to know each other better, we started dating.” Whenever possible, Kirschner and Lambeth like to coordinate their class schedules for the same classes so they can help each other in studying for exams. “In our History 1302 class, we would make flashcards with the different questions that Continued on page 2

STAFF NEWS Dr. Linda Adams, CCCCD wellness coordinator and professor, helped coordinate a prototype “Walk Across Texas” in Collin County. Thirty-two staff, faculty and friends recently logged 2,148 miles as they participated in the pilot program — the equivalent of two round trips from Dallas to South Padre Island. Teams compiled their miles over an eight-week period. Members were challenged to walk daily and record their mileage. Mileage was then reported to a team captain, who coordinated all paperwork. Team captains included Rosanne Ciccia, Samatha Limmer, Carole Morgan and Diana Browning. At the end of the eight weeks, the team's mileage was tabulated and reported. Due to the success of this activity, “Walk Across Texas” will be offered throughout Collin County in 2003. Hong Gao, research associate, presented a paper titled “Examining the Length of Time to Completion at a Community College” at the Annual Conference of the Southern Association for Institutional Research held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in October. This study developed a systematic and comprehensive model to determine the factors that impact the length of time it takes for community college students to complete their degrees. Paula Roman, executive director of the CCCCD Foundation, Inc., has been invited to sit on the board of directors of Allen Community Outreach, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting families in need by providing basic necessities, specialized programs and independent living skills. Roman will join 13 other board members in serving the Allen community. Janet Sheppard, director of continuing education at CYC, was a

might be on the test,” Lambeth said. “Then we would quiz each other until we got every question right.” According to Tracey Fleniken of CCCCD’s Counseling Service Department, “An important thing to remember when trying to find a balance between the various parts of your life—such as school, work relationships and hobbies—is that you are an individual, so your needs and sense of balance may be very different from other people around you. “Instead of trying to find a way to juggle everything, identify the things that are most important to you and your life,” said Fleniken. “Trying to accomplish all the things you think you ‘should’ be doing or ‘should’ be able to handle is very exhausting and can lead to a sense of feeling overwhelmed.” Aside from juggling a full class load and making time to study, Kirschner also serves as the treasurer for Phi Theta Kappa in

which Lambeth is an active member. “It is great to have things in common,” Kirschner said. “I love it that we can be involved in both Phi Theta Kappa and in our classes.” Like all college students, the couple enjoys spending their spare time hanging out with friends or just in each other’s company. “Having a full load of classes and trying to have a healthy relationship is not an easy task,” Lambeth said. “When we are together, the time is much more valuable.” The ultimate test for the relationship is quickly approaching as Kirschner is planning to transfer to the University of Georgia; a move which would add significant strain on each of them. “If I could change anything in our relationship it would be for him to stay,” Lambeth said.

distance learning courses in physical education. In service to the college and to the community, Schumann has conducted CPR, safety and first-aid training for staff at the Child Development Center, served as a spokesperson at the National Girls and Women in Sports Day at Plano Independent School District and has even been a TV commentator at the college’s basketball games. In her philosophy-of-teaching statement, Schumann writes that “[t]he current health, fitness, and wellness issues that we face in the United States are overwhelming. Obesity, inactivity, depression and heart disease are on an increase, yet, we have more health information available to us than ever before. The knowledge apparently isn’t enough. We must develop an internal focus of control that brings meaning and motivation to the idea that a fit mind and a fit body go hand in hand.” Here is how she responded to recent questions about her personal and professional life: Receiving recognition at All

College Day: made me feel very honored. I work with a tremendous group of faculty, any of whom could have received this award. To be recognized by one’s peers is the ultimate pat on the back. The biggest challenge I’ve ever faced: has come from being a faculty member at one institution and then moving to another institution (I have been at four different colleges/universities). Each time I have had to reestablish myself as a colleague, a teacher and a leader. My biggest source of inspiration: my father. He was a great leader, professor and man. He was a Department Chair and Full Professor in Physical Education/Recreation. Most people don’t know that: I performed acrobatic acts that were taught to me by my dad, such as flying trapeze, etc. He was the founder of the Florida State University Circus, the only collegiate circus in the United States. The best thing about working at CCCCD: blazing new trails, meeting new students, sharing with colleagues. Rod Coltman earned his Ph.D.

from DePaul University in Chicago in 1997. The title of his dissertation, defended with distinction in the Department of Philosophy, was “Dwelling in the Middle: Dialectical Hermeneutics and the Topology of Being.” Dr. Coltman is an admirer of German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer, often referred to as the father of hermeneutics, a branch of continental European philosophy concerned with human understanding and the phenomenon of interpretation (http://lancelot.uchicago.edu/gada mer/). Dr. Coltman has dedicated much of his academic study to this philosopher and his field, but he is also deeply interested in the thought and culture of ancient Greece. At various institutions, including Austin College, CCCCD, DePaul, SMU and UTD, Dr. Coltman has taught such courses as Introduction to Philosophy, Modern Logic, Ethics: Theory and Practice, A History of European Social and Political Thought and Existentialism. His extensive service to the

college has included being named chair of the Philosophy Self-study Task Force, serving as a member of the Faculty Senate Constitution Committee and a member of the Restructuring Task Force. Dr. Coltman is the originator and curator of the Faculty Publications Project, which has produced the “Faculty in Print” series on display in the campus libraries. Here is how he responded to recent questions about his personal and professional life: Receiving recognition at AllCollege Day: A little embarrassed, actually. I appreciate the hard work that the selection committee did, and I was very pleased and flattered to have received the award; but it’s hard for me to imagine that I really am one of the two best professors at this college. My biggest source of inspiration: My very first philosophy professor at UTD, a clever and engaging Scotsman by the name of Victor Worsfold, showed me that you could actually make a profession of thinking, reading and writing.

Another philosophy professor at UTD, Charles Bambach, motivated me to move away from the AngloAmerican analytical philosophy that dominates in the U.S. and pursue continental European thought. But the German philosopher, HansGeorg Gadamer, who died last year at the age of 102, is my philosophical hero and the focus of my scholarly activities. Most people don’t know that: I worked for a civil engineering company for nearly 10 years before going back to school to study philosophy. Best thing about working at CCCCD: Two things come to mind: (1) The high quality of the faculty here. It is not often that a community college has so many professors who could easily have tenure at a first rate university; and (2) the great camaraderie and collegiality among the faculty. Both of these things bode extremely well for the quality of the education our students receive.
