Students Name r I ' LCC Enrollment ., vor.; Mascot: Greek Titan 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 T o date, the number of students who have officially withdrawn from the college is nominal.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.

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. Zoology Student Starts Aquarium Future Site Joe Wendling, Zoology class member from Florence, has assembled a salt water aquarium in Room 70 on the Springfield campus. A live star fish, a sea anemone, a chiton, a sea trout, a crab, and assorted snails are on display. . Visitors are welcome, accordmg to Mr. John Jacobs, division chairman for science, to visit this aquarium. 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.

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~ • Help get our college off to an even better start by doing your share. By Pat Bennett 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.

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. No Yearbook?
