Proposed Schedule
Open To Inspection

Copies of the proposed three-module
class schedule for
T,Jinter Term are in the
hands of Student Council members and available for inspection
by students.
Dean of Instruction
William Hein and Dean
of Students I.S. Hakanson suggest that
students contact any
member of the Council
to determine how the
three-module system
(also called block
scheduling) might
affect them.
The new system,
which would squeeze
the school week into
four days for most
students, has not yet
been adopted. Student
reaction is being
sought prior to adoption or rejection,
Dean Hein said.
The system does not
affect scheduling of
occupational programs
on the Eugene campus.
It is directed toward
college transfer
courses offered- on
the Springfield and
Bethel campuses.
"Greater flexibility
is the purpose of it,"
Dean Hein said. "We're
trying to_ do a better
job of meeting student
needs."
Students who examine
the proposed schedule
and find that it
creates problems for
them should advise
their counselors, he
said.
Publication of the
complete schedule in
The Torch, perhaps in
the Dec. 1 issue, is
being considered.

Sound the trumpets! Students a~d staff will
enjoy LCC's first holiday of the year, Friday,
Veteran's Day. Since it's a three day weekend many students are leaving town, going to
Bend for the O.S.S.C.S.A. Community college
convention, going to Medford to watch the
North Eugene-Medford semi-final game in the
state A-1 football tourney,going to Portland
to do some shopping. Eager traveiers are

The scene: Cups overflowing with food and

because someone was too lazy to get up and
empty them. Where do these things happen?
Right here under our own noses--on campus.
The problem seems to be that people don 1 t
care what impression others get of their campus; yet, these people are the first ones to
cry if their generation is condemed because
of their lack of leadership or responsibility.
Maybe some high school type of punishment
could be inflicted, such as depriving the
students of the privilege of a student lounge,
but these never seem to do any good.
The only good solution can be found in the
person himself--he is the one who has to
change to fit the role assigned to him by
the public. The public doesn't have to b~
over backwards to him for acting like j~st
"one more dumb kid."

Class Arch Holds Hint of Romance
!iii
1,,. ..

By VIVIAN ROSENBERGER
"It was something different and altogether
new," said Eddie DeWith as he ran his fingers
over the shed arch. "I think the others feel
the same way, too."
Eddie was expressing the general feeling of
~is class, which as an assignment was to make
a church arch. Those who made the arch included DeWith, Rodney Kempf, Rodney Nichols,
Rod Remington, and Wayne Weller. All are
second year building contruction students.
Eugene Parro, assistant professor of industrial technology, said that he gave the boys
the assignment and from there "the boys designed and manufactured it completely on their

own."

Once given the assignment, the class was
divided into two groups. Each group was to
test different glues for use in the arch and
to do just half of the job. Many problems
arose as the temperature of some glues needed
to be higher or lower than the regular temperature of the wood shop. When a glue was
finally chosen it was used by both groups in
class.
It took two days for the group to lay out
and make the plans for the arch, which would
be nine layers thick, 16 feet long, and eight
feet tall. For the construction of the arch
the class did not have boards long enough.
To make the arch, members used boards of
various lengths lamenated with the glue they
found to be best under test conditions.
As for the use of the arch, Mr. Parro said,
"I will leave that up to the class, but I had
thought they might donate it to the school
for an engagement or wedding arch. You know,
something romantic."
Asked how he felt about this accomplishment
and what would be done about it DeWith said,
"We never thought we'd be doing anything like
that. We have no specific plans for it, but
we will leave it here."
The class sai~ __that it will be on display
in the wood shop ·•on the Eugene campus for
viewing.

Arch constructed by second year building construction students is
held, from left, by Allen Johnson, Gary Lemke and Wayne Hansen, while
Tom Clark observes. The men are first year cabinet making students.

N. EUGENE SPLASHES, TO 4TH WIN
By GARY NAVE
North Eugene continued its winning ways
Saturday morning by slipping past Sheldon
20-0, despite a torrential downpour which
turned the gridiron at Springfield's Willamalane Park into a virtual "mudiron."
Thurston, South Lane, and Springfield kept
their title hopes alive by receiving forfeit
victories over Bethel, West Lane, and South
Eugene (who failed to make the six-man limit
by one). A non-league game was played anyway
with South Lane helping Springfteld beat South
Eugene and Thurston, 12-0.
North Eugene and South Lane meet this week
in a crucial game that could go a long ways
toward crowning the eventual league champion.
If North wins, Springfield will be the sole
remaining contender with a chance to knock off
North in a head-t o-head clash. That game is
scheduled for Nov. 26, which is the last week
of the season.· So, North, as well as the
other teams, can't afford a letdown the rest
of the year.
As the race draws to a peak, the teams need
all the help they can get to make a run for
the school championship. Anyone wishing to
play need do nothing except show up on Saturdays. Everyone who shows up gets to play
sixty minutes of good hard football.
NORTH EUGENE 20 SHELDON 0
North Eugene remained undefeated Saturday
as Jeff Etchiso!l led the "ex-Highlanders" to
a hard earned 20-0 vicotry over Sheldon.
Etchison had a hand in putting every one
of North's points on the scoreboard. His 35yard touchdown pass to Jim Hurst and P.A.T.
toss to Gordy Kauffman were the only scores
of the first half.
Soon after the second half kickoff, Etchison
again struck through the rainy airways and hit
Jeff Norman on a 15-yard score. Later in the
half the "play of the game" was executed
beautifully as North chalked up its final
score of the game. It , started with the hike
from c·e nter John Jensen to Etchison who
lateralled back to Kauffmann running wide.
Etchison then sneaked downfield and was wide
open in the endzone. Kauffmann uncorked a
mighty 40-yard bomb and Etchison had six more
points. Hurst caught the P.A.T. pass from
Etchison, and that was all the scoring for
another North vi.c.tory.
Sheldon threatened to score several times,
but was never able to come up ·with the big
play when they needed it. Their greatest
penetration of the day was to the North
three-yard line in the second half. The drive
later died back on the 12-yard line. Rod
Myrick was their big gun, as he constantly
ran over opponents to pick up big yardage,
besides passing for more.
The game was one of the most interesting
of the season. It was very well played despite the rain.

Rain fell in buckets, but these teams played as if it were 90 degrees and sunny. Undaunted by it all, they supplied some of the
hardest hitting of the season. Most players
found themselves on the ground looking up at
one time or another during the game. They
were having such a good time that when their
game was over they didn't want to quit. They
simply moved to the practice field and continued playing for another hour. Not one man
went in eaI:ly.
In the actual non-league game, Terry Myers
three two TD passes to lead Springfield to a
12-0 victory ·over South Eugene, Players from
other districts played also, but Springfield
and South provided the bulk of t he participants for their ·teams.
Myers' scoring passes were 10 yards to Gary
Bates in the first half and 20 yards to Steve
Corser in the second half.
