The College's Social Science department
has added a new psychology instructor to

I Charles M. Treneer
Treneer was born in Yakima where he
spent the first 18 years of his life. He
graduated from East Valley High School in
Yakima as a National Merit Scholar.
He then went to Whitman College in
Walla Walla, where he was an all-conference
football player and earned a bachelor's
degree in history.
After college, Treneer enlisted in the
Army in 1971. He was stationed in Europe
as a member of the 42nd military police
group, working in customs.
In 1975 Treneer returned to Washington
to continue his education at the University
of Washington. It was there that he took
his first psychology class.
He earned his Ph.D in psychology in 1986
and signed a one year contract to teach at
the College.
Treneer has authored or co-authored
eight scientific publications most dealing
with learned food aversions induced by
cancer.
Treneer thinks that thisyear at the College
will be a very important one, giving him
the chance to grow as a teacher while
hopefully enriching the minds of his
students.
Says Treneer,'Tm going to try and remain
a teacher for as long as I can make a living
at it. It's what I love to do."
Separate Organizations
Represent Employees
by Kathy Maynard
Advocate staff
Three separate labor organizations repres-
ent employees at the College. But when the
faculty union went on strike Sept. 22,
members of the other two groups crossed
their picket line to continue working.
"We are not a union, membership is
optional," said Pat Drake, president of the
Classified Employees Association of Bellevue
Community College (CEABCC). The asso-
ciation represents campus employees with
the exception of the maintenance and
custodial employees, instructors and the
administration.
Drake said the CEABCC tries to be truly
representative of the classified staff in all
areas, from participating on the All College
Council to organizing social events.
"It's a valuable organization to belong to,"
Drake said. ''We offer cohesiveness to the
staff."
An executive cabinet elected by CEABCC
members acts as the bargaining unit for the
classified staffto establish their employment
contract with the Board of Trustees, Drake
said.
"We are governed by the Higher Education
Personnel (HEP) Board as are all classified
staff (in the state)," said Drake. "There are
some minor things we can bargain for on
our contract but we are pretty well
restricted by what the HEP Board does."
Drake said that a representative from the
Association of Higher Education (BCCAHE)
read a statement to the CEABCC before the
strike, expressing their concern that it might
put extra stress on the classifed staff should
there be a strike.
"They said they were sorry and hoped for
our support and hoped it would be resolved
quickly," said Drake.
The 19 members of the College's chapter
of the American Federation of State, City
and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) work
on the maintenance and custodial sta
Their union is alfdiated to the American-
Federation of Labor and Congress Industrial
Organizations (AFL-CIO) King "County
Labor Council of Washington.

''We couldn't honor their picket line
because our union would not have backed
us," said Dennis Herman, shop steward for
the College's chapter of AFSCME.
While it is possible for an independent
labor union such as the BCCAHE to have
a strike sanctioned by the AFL-CIO, Labor
Council of Washington Public Relations
representative Karen Keiser explained that
it would have been necessary for them to
go through specific procedures to have their
picket line honored by other unions.
"It doesn't mean we're not in support,"
Keiser said. "But you can't throw up a picket
line and expect others to honor it without
going through informational channels."
Keiser said she was not aware that anyone
in her office was notified by the BCCAHE
that they were going to strike.
Though the BCCAHE would have liked
a show of support from the other employees,
it was not crucial in this case, according
to John Cahill, assistant executive director
for communications for the Washington
Education Association (WEA) to which
BCCAHE is affiliated.
"It didn't matter that they crossed the
picket line," Cahill said. "Everything was
sucessftflly closed down and that constitutes
an effective strike action."
