Paper Title
Along with trying to start a
, newspaper, the st'aff is confronted
with other problems, such as
selecting a name for it.
A large poster was constructed and put up at the Springfield
campus by Pat Bennett, editor,
and John Thomas, business manager. The purpose was to collect
1
a few of the students ideas. Later
it was displayed at- the Eugene
campus.
Many names turned up, some
serious and others not so serious. Some of the names were:
Lane Life, Lane Community
Broadcaster, College Caper, and
Playboy IL
The staff was at a standstill
to select a good name so they
decided to wait until some other
ideas were brought forth.
The student council also debated on a name for the paper. Most
of the members thought we should
first get a school mascot, and
then use it in the name of the
newspaper.
'
A major idea of the staff was to
let students of both schools volunteer names in the suggestion
boxes which are in prominent
places on both campuses.
Students are encouraged to
submit a good name and along
with t~eir own names, drop the
paper mto the box.
The name selected would be
·p ublished in the paper along with
the submitter's name. A prize is
a possible solution to overcome
the name stalemate.
Until a name is selected the
paper will have on its masthead
a large question mark. Under the
question mark will read "NAME
THE NEWSPAPER:/' '
'I'his is the first time a newspaper has been attempted at the
new college. The paper will become an asset to the school by
proving news is happeningt, on
both campuses. This can only be
accomplished through the cooperation of every student. The
staff could use all the help offered to make the newspaper a
successful attempt.
Note: Suggestion boxes are in
the student area at Eugene and
in the office at Springfield.

Trains, Tracks
And Trouble
In any new school there are
many difficulties that must be
faced. This is especially true
of the Springfield Campus. It
seems that there is always a
problem that is sticking its ugly
head from the mists of unbelievable circumstances.
The students soon learned that
the trains would rush by every
time that the students were trying to think or the teacher was
making an important point that the students should have in their
notes for mid-term finals. But
what we did not know was that
we would be drowned with carbonated beverages from the cold
drink machine, be scalded by the
hot drink machine, or have the
food machine starve us to death
by not giving us any food or
money back.
The Springfield Campus is located on a small knoll that is
composed of the best mud in Lane
County. You can have more fun
than a barrel of monkeys trying to
navigate either up or down the
hill. The best way to navigate
down the hill is to set your feet
and give yourself a push and ski
down the hill.
So, if you are interested in
improving your skiing abilities
or your mountain climbing abilities along with your endurance,
come and try to make it either
up or down that slippery, slimy
knoll on a rainy day that is the
gateway to the Springfield Campus!

LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE, Eugene, Oregon

Hatfi.eld Presents Charter
To Lane Community College
vw

Staff members Pat Norris (C) and Marty Cotten (R) get Gov.
Hatfield's autograph in their 20-minute interview with him after
the charter ceremony.

The night of October 22, 1965
Lane Community College recei ed its cnarter from Goveruo
Mark Hatfield.
Sent to cover this historymaking event were Dave Duhrkoop, Marty Cotten, and
Pat
Norris. Dave Duhrkoop covered
the event by taking pictures.
Marty and Pat covered it as reporters.
People on the stage besides
Governor Hatfield included the
mayor of Eugene, Mr. Ed Cone,
Doctor Dale Parnell, president
of LCC, William Bristow Jr.,
chairman of the college board
student council members and
other dignitaries.
'
The state superintendent of
public
instruction Dr. Leon
Minear, was called Lane Community College's "great White
father " because of his part in
the college's inception.
Dr. Minear, Dr. Roy Lieuallen ,
chancellor of higher educatioO:
and Dr. William Jones, repre-

senting University of • Oregon
conveyed greetings from their
·• arious or 0 m1izatio:-.;:;.
Dr. Jones said that the University of Oregon had waited 93
years for Lane Community College. He also said that it is our
job, as young people, to investigate higher education to fulfill
the needs of our people.
The Eugene Gleemen provided
music forthepresentation. Their
first song was "No Man is an
Island." The second was the
"Battle Hymn of the Republic "
which is the Governor's favorite
song.
Then the Governor spoke on the
changing times. He told how college enrollments had increased
unexpectedly over the last couple
of years.
He gave four very important
reasons why Lane Community
College, . along With the rest of
Oregon's ajpe other community
colleges, was important. They
are:

NAME THE NEWSPAPER!!

Name Suggested

1, Community colleges are
i deally fitted to the local community's needs. They are governed by people that are picked
from the local people to serve
on boards.
2. Since the two-year course
at a community college costs far
less than that of the university,
the community college. is able to
offer an extended education to
more people. •
a. Community colleges have
credit courses that can be tr ans-·
ferred to four-year universities.
4. Community colleges keep
young people at home. The Governor said that many times people who leave the community to
go to college do not return.
We found that the Governor
was a very down-to-earth man.
He was interested in many things
about our education and what we
planned to do With our lives in
the future after graduating from

Social Urge
Hits Students
Do you like to dance, eat, or
socialize? Or are you the kind
who likes to join clubs or special
interested groups? If you feel inclined toward any of these, do
something about it. With the
formation of a new junior college
there lies open a great number
of activities which can only be
organized by members of the student body. In an interview With
Mrs. Francis Howard and Mr;
William Wright it was indicated
that the students who are inter..:ested in organizing service clubs,
or special interest groups should
represent themselves at a student
council meeting. If personal representation is impossible, students should submit their suggestions in written form to student
council. Mr. Wright felt there
would be an interest in special
service clubs. One of the suggestions he gave was the organization of a Circle K Club.
A club such as a Circle K
would be sponsored by local Kiwanis groups in Springfield. As
far as social events are concerned many ideas have already
been submitted. Dances, feeds
of various kinds, and just plain
"get together s. ''
But the success of the social
program depends on the students
of Lane Community College. We
can all let the next two years or
terms slip by or we can make
them all memorable. So get together with your best friend, or
enemy, and be the first to organ. ize a social event at our new
college.
Anyone who wishes to organize
an event please contact Mrs.
Howard at ~pringfield or Mr.
Wright on the Springfield Campus.

LCC Off To Goo_d Start
Academically, Lane Community College has swung forcefully
into a completely new aspect of education: presenting Lane county
with its first junior college.
The response has been gratifying for those who have spent many
months in preparation to make ready for the first term of the first
year of LCC.
With the fall term enrollment of 1,399, the two buildings set aside
to accommodate these students in Eugene and Springfield are virtually
"bursting at the seams." Students are studying in the halls and there
doesn't even seem to be standing room in some classes. But LCC
doesn't expect these problems to be haunting them always.
A new campus site for LCC was given to the college by Mr.
Will Gonyea last year. The property is located on 30th Avenue
West. Buildings are scheduled to be erected there within the next
three years.
On behalf of the student body at LCC, I should like to thank Mr.
Gonyea and all of the wonderful people who so generously made the
contributions to get our Lane Community College started. --P.B.

Letters to the Editor

To the Edi tor:
The Radio Communications department at LCC seems to be having
a bit of difficulty in acquiring a permanent radio receiver to be installed in the student lounge area at the Springfield campus. Meanwhile the radio which has been placed in the lounge on the Eugene
campus has been the subject of much controversy to date. It seems
the students for whom the music is being furnished prefer to listen
to the Irish Jim O'Neil show than to KLCC. At the time of this writing
nothing has been done about it, although many people have had ideas.
I myself am enrolled in radio Communications as are two other
members of the newspaper staff. I would like to explain to those
adolescents who continually tune in KEED or KASH, our competitors,
that Lane Community College is an institution established for the
sole purpose of educating those who wish to learn. The purpose of
our radio station is not merely to entertain. We students in Radio
Communications are enrolled in this course of study to learn to work
in radio. KLCC, if given a chance, canprovide us with the opportunity
to do so.
All types of music will be played, to offer a better choice. If we
don't play the kind of music you like to hear, tell us - we are open to
suggestion. A radio station is what its listeners make it. We would
appreciate the patronage of the students in listening to our station.
Yours for KLCC,
Dale Smith

Yearbook Adds Mem·ories

To the Editor:
The yearbook is a very important publication in any school. As a
matter of fact it's one of the most important books that a school
should have. LCC wouldn't be a college if we didn't have one.
When you are out of college and meet an old friend, you can always
go through the yearbooks and pick out your pictures and then explain to your friend that you didn't know that picture was taken of
you eating your lunch at Mark's Tradin' Post. In other words, a
yeJbook can bring back memories of the "good old days," when
you were young, and all the fun that went on that year at LCC.
The cost? It really doesn't cost very much. I'm sure you all can
rake up some money somewhere. It will cost around $5.00.
If the students at LCC want a yearbook I would suggest that you
tell your counselors or contact someone on the LC? news~aper
staff. We would really appreciate it and I'm sure you will too 1n the
future years.
Signed~ Marty Cotten

Problems On Hillside
The Springfield campus is a temporary locatlon rented to the college by the Georgia-Pacific Corporation. LCC is nestled snugly
between Springfield Lumber Company and the Willamette River,
(not to mention the series of railroads periodically going in the
front door and out the back.)
The trains go by four to five times an hour or, if we're lucky,
maybe only three times. When they rush through it seems as though
all the students go deaf and the teachers have lost their voices.
An idea to stop these disturbances would be to install a small
microphone for the teachers, so that when a train does go by and
b1ows its whistle, the teacher can use the microphone, so the students can hear what is being said.

Suggestion Boxes Offered
' In order to cover more stories of the greatest interest to the Lane
Community College student body, the LCC newspaper staff invites
suggestions for stories or improvements for the school paper from
the student body.
A suggestion box can be found on the Springfield campus in the
student lounge sitting on the counter of the office window and in the
student area on the Eugene campus. Students are invited to submit
story suggestions and letters to the editor. The staff is also interested in interesting occupations of the student body such as sweat
shirt painting, custom surf board building, etc.
It is the expressed hope of the Lane Community College newspaper staff that students take advantage of the suggestion box by
submitting constructive suggestions on how to better please the
readers . and hold interest .for the entire student body. -B. H.

Biology Dull?
No, he says
By Tom Black
Signing up for Biology seemea
bad enough for a college course,
but when I was informed of the
lab that was required in addition,
I thought I was headed for hours
of boredom.
Heading for the first Biology
lab class, I felt uneasy and sure
I would despise it. I entered the
room, sat in the nearest seat and
waited patiently for the instructor
to enter. While I was waiting, a
neatly dressed, young bearded
fellow began to speak. He was
the lab teacher.
Such leadership should be more
common, because he actually held
my interest. As I sat listening to
instructions and a summary of
the year's plans, I relaxed and
enjoyed being a part of the class.
He spoke with words I could
understand. Not
technical bi- •
ological terms right offf he used
simple words and then explained
what other technical terminology
could be used in place of the
simple words.
Changing the subject, he went
on to explain and give details
about a field trip. This particular
field trip was to take place next
lab session. I couldn't believe it;
things were moving so fast. I had
expected a slow, drabthree-hour
class with no enjoyment.
The week passed quickly and I
became curious as to thetypesof
activities we would encounter;
I'll have to admit, it wasn't as
bad as it sounded. We all piled
into student cars and drove to
the Coburg Hills. It was raining,
but that didn't stop us. Plotting
out several sections of ground,
the various groups into which we
were divided, spread out and
began counting the different plant
types and the number in each
category.
After following the same procedure two other times in two
other areas, we enjoyed eating
• apples which grew on some of
the trees. Sure, we worked and
~ather~ data required for some
charts, but we enjoyed it. The
experience of being "on location" added more pleasure and
actual examples to what we were
studying.
Biology lab is not a boring
addition to the regular class;
it is a relief.

Off-Beat
Observations
Written by Dale Parkera
Television plays an important
role in American family life.
Recently this reporter set about
to take a survey of
most intriguing phenomenon commonly
referred to as the TV death rate. ·
I seldom partake of the miracle
of television; powever, for this
occasion I rejected all distractions and sat down to a not unenjoyable evening of TV.
The night progressed rather
rapidly as four men lost their
lives in gunfights and one fell
victim to a knifing. Blood continued to spill as the scene
changed from the "wild west"
to a modern detective drama. A
would-be sniper was lost as he
fell from his seventh story perch
to the pavement below. One succumbed to poison. Then three ,
people died of natural causes
in a temporary let-up in the
crime wave plaguing the screen.
Four more deaths occurred from
methods varying from strangling
to electrocution before the evening came to a close, bringing the
total casualties to thirteen.
The number of deaths were
out numbered only by cartoons-there were seventeen of them. •
This high death rate excelled
only by the large number of
clowns in command of the situation so resembles the war in
Viet Nam. It makes one wonder
if perhaps the TV shows and the
war tactics weren't both dreamed
. up by the same person!

Agency certificate denoting the
approval of the Federal Avia-'
tion Agency for training mechanics students in Airframe and
Powerplant.
Last week a team of inspectors from the Portland FAA office visited the campus, checking
student records, teaching procedures and observing classes,
according to Mr. Mel Gaskill,
head of the department. "We recei ve the finest cooperation and
assistance from our area," observed Mr. Gaskill. "We are all
on the same team, trying to produce the finest mechanics for
maximum safety in the air.''

LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

On these roUin~ acres near 30th Avenue the new LCC buildings will appear in the near future.
By David Little
The proposed Lane Community College campus site is situated just off Interstate 5 at Eugene's East 30th Avenue interchange. This new location was
the gracious donation of Mr. Will
Gonyea, a citizen of the Eugene
area. Architects are now drawing plans for the campus, the
first phase of which will be completed, hopefully, by 1968; and
the entire plant should be finished
around
197 5.
Even

though this seems a long ume in
the future the finished product
will be w~ll worth the wait, according to Mr. Bert Dotson, administrative assistant at the college. On the new campus, LCC
will have a widely diversified
curriculum including many facets
of occupational and technical
courses, along with more varied
liberal arts courses.
Mr. Gonyea donated 100 acres
of land and the school bought an
additional 48. 8 acres along the

BALLOT

The campus will be centrally located and is easily accessible
from both Springfield and Eugene. Even though it is easily
reached, it is well away from the
hustle and bustle of the city, and
and the sloping meadow, as it
noy., looks, is a perfect place for
quiet studying.

girls and three boys. The }?arnells have five children -- three
. boys and two girls!
Discussing the ·college Dr.
Parnell observed that "Discipline is no problem because we
are dealing with mature people."
"I have 'open' office every
Thursday afternoon. Any student
who has a problem or just wants
to chat is welcome to come into
my office Without an appointment
at that time."
As for Dr. Parnell's goals for
LCC, he said, "I hope eventually
to make LCC the best in the
country, and to have the best
qualified
teachers
available
working in LCC's classrooms."
Even though teaching is his
fir st love, being president of
LCC is still "the most thrilling
position" Dr. Parnell has ever
held as a school administrator.

Biology Instructor
Native of India
by Zee Bel1s1e
On our staff of instructors
LCC is fortunate to have some
from other nations. This is the
first of several articles about
these faculty members. Mr.
Kurien Chacko, biology teacher
at LCC, is from India, and has
been in the United States for about
4 years.
Mr. Chacko came totheUnited
States and entered the University
of Washington where he studied
biology and chemistry.
After spending one year at the
University of Washington, he
transferred to the University of
Oregon to finish · his schooling.
He has two Bachelor's degrees,
one in chemistry and the other
in biology. He also has one
master's degree in biology. He
is currently working on his Ph.D.
and has it almost completed. He
finished his first bachelor's degree at the age of 1a.
Not only has Mr. Chacko taught
classes at the U of O but he has
been an instructor of human anatomy and physiology at Sacred
Heart Hospital.

He was sent here by his parents. Mr. Chacko's father was
the superintendent of government
schoo1 in a place called Kerala
State, located in the southwest
part of India, where he lived
before coming to the United
States.
He came from a family of six
• children, four boys and two girls.
He has a brother that is studying
electrical engineering at the University of Washington, who is at
the present in India visiting his
family.
Mr. Chacko is the youngest of
his family. He is 28 years old
and unmarried. He enjoys teaching very much and is very happy
to be associated with the starting
of a new college such as Lane
Community.
"The students, in my opinio~
on the majority are very eager
to
learn,"
commented Mr.
Chacko, ''I like• to be at Lane
Community College but have no
plans as to whether I will stay
here or go somewhere else. My
philosophy is to teach the up-todate type of material, not something that is out of date," he
commented.

Fall Intramural Sports

Start Strenuous S-eason
Mr. Cecil Hodges and his Intramural Department have a busy
schedule ahead of them this year.
They have the job of scheduling
inore than 1,000 students in intramural activities and their work is
cut out for them.
Those small pieces of paper
distributed to every student at
registration time were to indicate each student's special interest in intramural activities.
Some students indicated no interest while others chose toparticipate in all categories.
Lane County was split into
eight different regions, with each
having a district manager. These
leaders were chosen at random-by
Mr. Hodges according to the student's interests.
Each leader is in charge of
one district. He constructs his

-plans and notifies all of the people in his region on upcoming
activities.
Region I is headed by Pat McMahan and consists of Central
Linn, sweet Home, and Corvallis.
Gary Davisson
heads the
Thurston Region. McKenzie, Mohawk, and Springfield East of
14th street, comprise his division.
The Sheldon district is made
up of Eugene North of 13th street,
and East of Jefferson. It is headed by Jim Brown.
Heading Region 4 consisting of
North Eugene is Lynn Johnston.
The Bethel district consisting
of Blachly, Monroe, Junction
City, and Harrisburg is in the
hands of Doug Rogers.

Mr. Hodges has indicated that
the school will engage in contact sports this year. These include such things as wrestling
and football. Flag football that is.

"We hope that in the near future," said Mr. Hodges, "the
college will be engaged in competitive sports with other junior and
community colleges." At this
time it is not possible for this
because of one important reason. LCC is the largest in the
state while other Oregon Community Colleges have no more
than 500 students.
