Publication does not imply endorsement by the editors. By GARY MCNABB There are approximately one-half million hours in our life span (sixty five years). Seventy thousand hours of our lives are wasted during the time we spend eating each day (approximately one hour, three times per day). One hundred seventy-five million hours are wasted while we sleep (approximately one third of our lives). To become more productive citizens we should attempt to minimize these tremendous expenditures of time. To cut doT..m on the time wasted eating, it might be advisable to experiment with eating only twice per day and eating slightly larger portions. After some t~me had passed--with a little improvement--this could be further cut down to once per day and maybe even once per week. With each of these reductions in wasted time would come an addition to the amount consumed. Toward the end of our life-· span (reduced slightly, due to excessive gorging) we could feasibly digest huge bollusks of food consumed only once a month, taking only five nours for the feast and reducing the normal time by 85 hours. With a little effort this same plan could be easily related to the tremendous time wasted sleeping and other areas of time expenditure. I _t has been stated many many times that the human body is capable of adapting to tremendous and continuous change. I am happy to see that OUR SCHOOL is thinking . of processing our minds along a similar pattern. A gradual change, likened to the proposal of two classes per week for an hour and a half instead of three classes lasting 50 minutes, seems well within the scope of my proposal. If we allow this change to take place--for it is from us that it will take place--in a few years our children's minds will be subiected to even further constipation. The schools would offer classes that convened only once a month. I am sure that taking notes from a ten-hour lecture would be within the scope of the body's ability to adjust-just as it will be able to adjust to taking notes from an hour and a half, instead of 50 minutes at a whack. All of these proposed reductions in "wasted" time will facilitate a more productive society. Our politicians will have more time to correct malfunctions in worl~ affairs. Doctors will have more time to heal the sick. Scientists will be able to spend more time in developing more larger destructive bombs and deadlier, more contagious bacteria for use in warfare, for surely, one of the minute side effects of this proposal will be a small loss of patience. In summation, the first BIG step toward a society that wastes very little time at all is the acceptance of the adminonly once a month.

Questions submitted should be signed by the writer and either mailed to his office on the Eugene campus or placed in any one of the suggestion boxes. .STUDENTS HAVE ASKED: "WHAT STEPS ARE OPEN TO ME IF I AM DISSATISFIED WITH INSTRUCTION AT LCC?" Page 16 of the Student Handbook outlines a five-step procedure by which students may express their feelings regarding grievances. The first step--and probably the most important one--is to sit down with the instructor involved and talk with him about the situation. Too often people talk to everybody ~bout unsatisfactory conditions except the parties concerned. Many times situations can be clarified and adjusted to the satisfactions of those involved if they discuss the circumstances dispassionately. It· is a certainty that little will be accomplished toward solving any problem which is not discussed by concerned parties genuinely interested in findiEg a solution.

In other action, Thurston toppled South Eugene 33-6 and S,heldon was a forfeit victor over West Lane. # NORTH EUGENE OVER BETHEL Though already awarded a forfeit victory because of Bethel's lack of players, North Eugene took to the field and defeated a makeshift Bethel team 33-19 in non-league action. Jeff Etchison started things off by tossing two first period touchdown strikes to give North an early 13-0 lead. One went to Jim Hurst and one to Gordon Kauffman. Then, after Dave Dooley ran 40 yards to score for Bethel, Etchison again took to the airways to move his . team two touchdowns ahead. He hooked up with Don Richardson on a 40 yard TD aerial, and the score was then 20-6. Then Dooley came to his team's aid again and combined with Jim Brown on a 60 yard pass and run score. The extra point made it 20-13 at halftime. Steve Newell got the second half started with a banb as he returned a Bethel punt 65 yards for another score. After receiving the ball on the 35 yard line, he eluded a couple of would be-tacklers with a good hipfake, and then took to the sidelines -and simply outran the rest of the opposition. • Later, Hurst ended the scoring by hitting Richardson with a 30 yard pass, giving Richardson his second TD of the day, and giving North the non-league victory. Springfield ''s six "ironmen," who played the entire game were Myers, Brown, Gary Bates, Ken Propst, Alan Dannen, and Leon Dannen.
