I No. 2 Lane Community College, Eugene, Oregon

Now Over 1400

By Bart Mahan
The enrollment at Lane Community College is now more than
400 over the original forecast
of 1,000 students.
T o date, the number of students
who have officially withdrawn
from the college is nominal. The
end of fall term will tell this tale.
Out of thel,400 students, there
are only 350 girls in both the
vocational and the college transfer curricula combined. The majority of students, numbering 850
are enrolled in the college transfer program while theremaining
550 students are in the vocational
programs.

There are over 100 staff members, including both the instructors and the administrative personnel.
The staff Of Lane Community
College is already anticipating
the winter term enrollment and
programs. Mr. L S. Hakanson,
Dean of Students, stated, "I estimate the enrollment for winter
term to be about 1,600 students."
The additional 200 will be in the
college
transfer
curriculum
which is fairly flexible rather
than in the vocational curricula
where there are limited facil1ties.

The student council is meeting in the KRVM studio to discuss the
constitution.
Plans for an alt-school dance
were accepted by the student
council during its meeting on·
November 23, at the Eugene Campus.
The theme of the dance was
"Sherwood By Nighte," and entertainment was provided by

"Robin and the Hoods." It was
sponsored by the members ofthe
newspaper staff of LCC. GeneralChair man was Donna Blaze. It
took place on December 3, from
9:00 to midnight at the Eugene
YM-yWCA. 'The price was $1. 50
per couple and $1 stag.

New S.B. Offices
To Be Elected Jan.12

Elections are coming early in
January, according to Dennis
Ryan, student body vice president. Students wanting to run for
office or propose someone for office should secure a petition in

Set Up For College

Students who wish to sell books
may bring them to either Bookstore during exam week beginning
Dec. 13. Books in demand for winter term classes will be purchased at one-half the new price.
Other titles notinlocaldemandat
present will be purchased at
used-book dealer prices. Some
books used only in fall term
classes cannot be sold now. If
they are used during the next
school year, they may be sold
during exam weekofspringterm.
It is hoped that students will
not bring books in to sell during
the first week of next term when
the Bookstore will be very busy
supplying students with winter
term texts. The buy-back period
will be opened again during exam
week of winter and springterms.
Bookstore hours will remain
the same as posted until Dec. 20
when the Springfield store will
be closed until noon of Jan. 4.
During that period books and
supplies for classes on both campuses may be purchased in the
Eugene store from 8:00 to 5:00
daily. Students are encouraged
to purchase winter term . books
during December, if vassible,
in order to avoid the c~ngestion
of registration day on Jan. 3.

LCC's first studentbody election was held Nov~mber. 29. The
constitution was approved by a
vote of 180 to 24. The Titan, a
greek mythological figure, was
selected as school mascot and the
newspaper was
named The
Torch. The names presented to
the student body were Titan
(Greek) and Torch which received 114 votes, the Titan
(missile) and countdown getting
31 votes, the Lynx and Lane Lynx
totalling 35 votes and the Dolphin
and the Snorkel receiving only
14.
According to the World Book
Encyclopedia, "Titan" was the
name of an ancient race of gods
in Greek mythology. The 12'Titans were the children ofUranus
(Heaven) andGaea(Earth). There
were six men and six women,
called
and the women were
Titanides.
Uranus the father, feared his
giant children therefore chained
them down jn Ti:trtarus. whi ch
was far under the earth. Gaea
sorrowed over their lot and begged Vranus to free them.

Students Enroll
For Winter Tenn

tur es, and hand it in by noon,
December 10. January 12, 1966,
is election day. Only full time students are eligible to vote or to
hold office. (Those carrying 9
quarter hours ·or more are considered full-time students.)

From

Dec. 6 1965

Pre-registration for winter
term is now going on in all
classes.
Regular winter term
registration will start in the
Eugene Counseling Center Monday, December 13. New students will begin registering December 20, in Eugene.

This sign is located on 30tli
avenue East where LCCCampus is soon to be erected.

At last Gaea grew very angry
--she went down into Tartarus
herself, and urged the Titans to
rise and fight against their
father. All of them refused except Cronus (Saturn) who was
the youngest. Gaea gave him a
magic scythe and freed him from
his chains. Cronus set out to find
his father, to conquer him.
Cronus met him and wounded
him
with the magic scythe.
Uranus put a curse on him, and
said that one day a son of Cronus
would rise to overthrow him.
Cronus freed all his brothers
and sisters who agreed that he
should rule them. Cronus took
the Titanide Rhea for his wife
and gave the others different
parts of the world to rule.

Camera
kArrives

New equipment for closed circuit television arrived Friday,
Nov. 19, at the Radio Communications department and students
and instructors started operating
the new TV camera, transmitter
and the twO' table model TV sets
which were included.
Irwin ,D. Wagner, engineer tor
Mutual Electronic Supply of
Seattle, Wash., spent Friday,
Nov. 19th, working with members of the KRVM -staff in setting
up LCC's new closed circuit television camera and monitors.
The Ampex vidicon- camera 1iscompletely transistorized, and
uses no vacuum tubes in any of
its circuits. Manufactured for
Ampex by the Marconi Company
of Great Britain, the new camera
is believed to be the first of its
type installed in Oregon, according to engineer Waguc=r.
The small television transmit- •
ter operates on Channel 5. Its ·
output is being fed temporarily to
two new RCA table model TV
sets which are serving as program monitors until the-Conrac
monitors originally ordered are
received.

Dr. Parnell's Desk-

Ask anyone connected with the
school to define Lane Community
College and his answer will probably be something like this:
It is a new college with 1400
full-time students and 2000 Adult
Education Evening Extension students attending classes on 24
locations
scattered
calJ)pus
throughout Lane County, and a
staff Of 166 full and part-time
employees.
These facts are impressive.
But Lane Community College is
much more than this. It is Charles
and Dennis and Terri leading the
Student Council meeting; it is
Mr. Hakanson and Mrs. Howard
advising Paul or Nancy concern-

ing the inevitable prOblems they
encounter on entering school;
it is Mr. Bristow and the other
Board members giving time and
energy in an effl'rt to- estat>;;.
lish a truly distinctive <'ommun·uy college for this area; it is
Pat and Dave and Anita working
with Mrs. Dixon on the student
newspaper.
It is Mr. Roberts helping Gary ·
and Judy and Pat to get started
on new jobs, and Mr. Wright
placing Larry and Ginny in jobs
under the Work-Study Program.
It is the labors of Mr. Simmons
in the Learning-Resource Center
and Miss Zinser in the student
bookstore. It is the lay Advisory

Committees suggesting new ways
of meeting the changing needs of
our community; the President and
Cabinet working to get the college off to a flying start. It is
the students in the classrooms
taking full advantage of the instruction offered them by competent instructors. It is Mrs. Maney
at the PBX and Mrs. Malliris in
the Business Office.
In short, Lane Community College is the sum 01 the etiorts of
the individuals who contribute in
any way to the school. Since our
classrooms are spread over a
wide area, it is difficult to maintain this feeling of "oneness"
-- of belonging to one group. But

it is imperative, for this very
reason. that we all make an effort to take part in college affairs in every possible way.
Walter Lippman once said we
operate our daily lives based
largely on "the picture in our
heads." It is this image or "picture in the head" which peq:>le
form about Lane Community College that is important. Staff and
students should think of LCC as
"our" college, not "his" or
"theirs" but "ours." But to be
able to speak of "our" college
with any degree of convictionrequires oarticipation.
A college reflects the composite feelings of students and
staff members.

School Communication
Communication within a school is as important as interschool
communication. This element is precisely what LCC students lack -communication among organizations and meetings in our two main
college buildings.
It is realized that the first term at Lane has been one of great
progress academically and socially. But the progress will soon come
to a standstill and eventually mass confusion if communication is not
remedied. It is every student's responsibility to help establish the
communication media that we lack, by participating in activities
and organizations between campuses, getting better acquainted with
fellow students, displaying school spirit, and working together as a
whole.
Did you know that a new and revised constitution has been passed by
student council? Did you know that a geography club has been established? That a Radio Club is being started? That plans are-underway
for a yearbook? Did you know that this is the second edition, in a
series of publications of the LCC newspaper?Ifyou didn't know these
things, then your communication within the college needs improvem~

Which Influences Us- People or. Facts

Who said that?
What did he say?
-Which of these two questions do we pay more attention to?
Most studies made have shown that we listen least to what is said;
we pay more attention to how it sounds, and most attention of all to
Who says it. The symbol influences our reaction much . more than fact,
according to a recent article in a professional education magazine,
The Phi Delta Kappan.
In one study college students were given a list of fourteen statements, all of them made by Samuel ~ohnson, but attributed to other
persons. Seven statements were attributed to "favorable" persons,
such as Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill, and seven to
"unfavorable" persons, such as Hitler and Castro.
The stu'dents were asked to indicate whether they agreed or disagreed with each statement. Two weeks later they were given the
same set of statements -- but this time the attributions were turned
around1 in order to see whether the students would pay more attention to who made the statement than to what was said.
On the second exposure, a total of 324 changes were made. 70%
of the changes were in the anticipated direction: they agreed With
favorable personages and disagreed with unfavorable ones.

Mrs. Howard discusses a problem with a student.
This column will appear in
each issue of the paper in an
attempt to answer some of the
questions which are most often
asked of counselors.
May I register for the second
term of a course without having
taken the first term?
This depends upon the course.
There are some courses where
the units studied during the
second term are independent
of the material covered during the
first term. In such classes a student could register for and successfully complete the second
term's work without having taken
the first term. Examples of such
classes might be United States
History, Practical Physics, or
English Literature.

I understand that some students here at school are working part-time on government employment programs. What are the
qualifications for such employment?
Students are employed here under two government programs
which have been instituted to assist students in earning the money
which is necessary for their
school expenses. Both programs
require that the student be enrolled in school and no more
than 21 years old. Furthermore,
one requires that the student be
in a vocational program and a
member of a family whose income is no more than $6000.
The other offers employment to
students enrolled in any educational program and whose family
income is no more than $5300.
Counselors are glad to assist
students in registering for these
employment opportunities.

Recently I read in the paper
that I have to take fifteen hours
of work to be eligible for a
Selective Service student deferment. Is this correct?
No, the article in the paper
intended to convey the message
that students could be deferred
no more than four years in order
to obtain a degree. Anyone completing a degree in four years
would have to average fifteen
hours a term, but this does not
mean he would have to take
fifteen hours every term. He
could t ake twelve hours each
term his freshman year and plan
to take sixteen or seventeen hours
during his junior and senior years
to bring his average up to fifteen
hours.

Cat Calls
By Pat Norris
If you haven't noticed, there
has been a feline amongst us.
This candy-striped yellow cat has
been wandering the upper hall
usually in the hot little grasp of
some cat lover. Much to the dismay of some teachers it has
found it's way into most of the
rooms along the hall It usually
retreats under the fire of cold
stares and quiet mumblin~s.
There have been many varied
opinions and remarks showered
upon this self-appointed mascot.
All the way from, "Isn't he
darling," to "Who drug that in."
In my opinion this is just a case
of a "dumb" animal finding a soft
touch among us ha;d-nosed LCC
students.
