Skills center
By CHARLOTTE REECE
"Although we're a little 'lean' in the
P. E. department, we give held in nearly
all other academic areas, 11 said Howard
F. Bird, director of the Study Skills Center.
11 Since Sept.
26, 1966, when we opened,
more than 330 people have received help,"
said Bird. Programmed texts and teaching
machines facilitate the SSC staff in helping students in math, reading, spelling,
social studies, library reference, English,
vocabulary development, and foreign
languages.
Located at 662 Cheshire St. , adjacent
to the Eugene campus, the SSC was first
conceived and planned by the academic
and guidance staffs at LCC. "We are not

modeled after another institution, but are
unique in post high school education, "
Bird said.
Other staff members at the SSC include
Joyce Ferrar, secretary; Lee Halberg,
math instructor; James Ellison, Carmen
Collias, and Ruth Stopa, reading instructors. Two students, Alice Byerly and
Sally Omlid, are employed.
The purposes of the SSC are (1) to provide educational diagnostic services; (2)
to provide opportunities for clients to fill
the educational voids which are proving
to be stumbling blocks; (3) to assist the
student in developing a realization of his
full potential; (4) to serve as a center
where individualized supplementary programmed instruction is available.
11
Students come to us because they want
to. They have to have a desire to better
themselves. At other community colleges
students are required to .attend the SSC

if they fall below the 30 JErcentile
academically, but that's not true here, 11
stated Bird.
At the SSC a student is given diagnostic testing to determine where he is academically. A personal individualized
program is then set up for the student
where he feels he can succeed.
Besides the paintings that have caused
the SSC to be called the "cultural center
of the campus", there are other interesting
features. One is the controlled reader.
There are more than 600 stories of adult ..
interest that can be put through the controlled reader. The student is prevented
from looking back to previous words.
Other machines at the SSC include a
Vision Tester and seeing eye camera. On
the vision tester, a student's eyes are tested
for defects. When a student is reading,
the seeing eye camera takes pictures of
the eye movements. Other visual

include the Craig reader, shadowscope,
perceptamatic, and language master.
"We try to zone the materials into noisy
and quiet rooms, 11 Bird chuckled. In the
noisy rooms students work with language
tapes that require a verbal response. The
quiet rooms are used for concentration.
When asked about courses in speed read-:ing, Bird replied, ')We call it efficienty
reading. Speed is nothing if it does not
have comprehension with it. At the SSC
we believe people have more · than one
reading rate. When reading a novel, a
person would have a faster rate than when
reading technical matter or textbooks. A
person will adjust his rate depending upon
the kind of material he is reading. "
The SSC is open from 8 a. m. ~o 10 p. m.
Monday to Friday. The time that a student spends at the SSC per visit varies
from 20 minutes to six hours. During 20
minutes the student may use a language

tape, while students preparing for regular
term classes may spend up to six hours per
yisit at the center.
Althoqgh many programs are experimental, the center may have an opportunity to
assist instructional staff in the selection of
programmed materials. The SSCcurrently
works in coordination with adult basic
programs and adult education.In the future, "we hope the SSC will become an educational development center.
By the fall of 1968, it might be possible
for students to sign up for an entire quarter
at the SSC. They would attend sch o o 1

purpose of the summer school program at

LCC.
He explained that many students want to
reduce the time they spend in college in
order to avoid what is termed the "forgone
income" situation. This is caused by the
fact that most students are unable to hold
•full time jobs because they could not attend class if they did. To enable these
students to graduate and obtain full time
jobs sooner is one goal of the program.
He stated that many students also find
the going easier if they take a smaller
workload each term. If students choose to
do this, they usually attend summer sessions in order to graduate in the class with
which they entered.
The summer quarter this year will be different than that of previous years. It will
run a full 11 weeks, giving the students a
full term to do a term I s work. In the past,
the quarter has usually been eight weeks
long, making the students feel "rushed" or
"pushed."
Dean Hein also stated that student cooperation will be necessary to make the summer
session more effective this year. The administration must know approximately how
many students plan to attend this summer,
and which courses will most be in demand.
• Students planning to attend the summer
session are asked to fill out the questionaire

The major problem you face concerns
the "motivational level of your lives" and
you must ask yourselves ''how do you really
achieve inner stability, " Dr. Dale Parnell,
LCC president said at last week's Focus
meeting.
As the well dressed executive sat in a
chair centered in the KRVM studio he said,
"I hope we can give and take of our brains
together. 11 Pausing momentarily he went
on to say, "maybe it's a dangerous thing
to say. 11
Four students who arrived late interrupted
his train of thought. Politely gesturing for
them to come in and sit down, the heavy
set educator casually mentioned that he

had eaten a bit of the refreshments before
the meeting. "I really have to eat quite a
bit to keep my weight up. 11
The room was quiet once again and Parnell continued while glancing at his 3x5
inch note cards. In a serious tone he asked,
11 0n what do we focus our lives ? 11 With a
smile he said, "I had to work that word in
there somewhere. "
Centering the informal speech on motivational levels of human existence, Parnell related his ideas to the Lord's Prayer.
This model prayer "can be applied to give
us certain principles. "
11 We all have a little bit of God in

lives.
God, 11 Parnell said.
Once again the subject of food came up
when he mentioned fasting. "I haven't
been afflicted with that problem," he said
with a quizzical smile.
Dr. Parnell's smile changed and with
serious concern on his face he went on to
say, "unfortunately many people are trying to play the game of life without the
rules. I find the rules of life by Bible
Study. 11
"There is a lot of difference oetween
reading and studying the Bible," Parnell
said. As a member of a Bible study group

which meets every Tuesday morning, "I
find it's more fun to sit down with a group
of guys. 11 In this group are businessmen
from all faiths and they study and discuss
what the Bible has to say. "There I s no
minister to interpret it, " which gives a
freedon of personal and individual meaning to the participants.
American people tend to. get the "best
food for the body, but stuff the intellect
.with garbage, 11 Parnell said.
Not only Bible reading and study are important, but prayer is also important and
essential. Prayer strengthens the motivation in our lives and it "is not eloquence,
but earnestness. 11 Dr. Parnell also said
prayer is the "most underused and misunderstood force in the world. Real prayer
demands utter and simple honesty. 11 ,
Dr. Parnell said his young daughter usually prayed with him before going to
sleep. One night when he tucked her in
bed she wanted him to leave so she could
pray by herself. After leaving the room,
Parnell listened to his daughter as she
prayed. She said, "Good night Lord,"
and threw a kiss heavenward. Then she
leaned over the edge of the bed and looked
down and said, 11 And to you, devil,----YUCK ! "

A comp1e t e report o f t he A SB treasury
fund is not available at this time because
of a delay in processing at the business
office, says ASB Treasurer Gary Keen.
"It's mostly a red tape affair right now, 11
said Keen. 11 The business office has control over all financial business, and they
are several months behind right now. 11
Keen estimates a report at this time would
show about $1,800 in treasury holdings.
This figure is down from an estimated
$2, 300 at the start of the year. All student
functions draw from the treasury flllld, as
does the school paper.
"Our only source of income is the vending
machines right now. We net about $500
from them, but other than that we have no
income. The Torch should also yield some
money but it isn't quite making .en~ugh

is playing a major role in the increase.
Bert Dotson, administrative assistant to
the president, esti;mates that an increase
of approximately 300, students has occurred
between fall term 1966 and winter term
1967.
The increase is comprised of students
desiring almost every phase of LCC's educational program.

Exact figures concerning breakdown of
courses utilized by the trans£ er of students
is not readily available. "Because of a
delay in data processing, exa~t figures
have not been computed. ' Any information concerning our student enrollment
is hand worked right now, which,
of
course, makes it unfeasible to find more
than the basic facts, " said Dotson.
The basic facts include a student population which now stands 4,811. This is
an increase of 1, 888 over the student enrollment at the same time last year.
Of this figure, 2, 189 are full-time students, 1, 443 are in the ·college transfer
program, while 2, 810 are involved with
the vocational offerings.
When asked what the .main reason for
transfers from four year colleges is, Dotson said, "Transfer from a four-year college to a community college does
not
always mean the student is finding the
four year college too tough. " He believes there are three main reasons for
transferring. They are:
Failing grades
Frustration and confusion involved with
attending a large institution
Financial reasons
Of the three Dotson seemed to feel that
the financial burden is the major one.
"But, 11 he said, "it is still to early for
us to tell. We'll have to wait until we're
well established before we can state the
main reason for transfers into and out of
LCC. Right now we can only estimate
and predict. "

LCC STUDENTS!

Committee
unable to
find parking

Bowl with your
Friends

The present parking problem (overcrowded and inadequate facilities) seems relatively unsolvable, according to the Committee to Study Parking Facilities.
This is chiefly because all areas directly
adjacent to present LCC facilities are
owned by people unwilling to rent them
at any price. Added to this is LCC's
total lack of school funds with which to
purchase gravel for the 100 additional
parking spaces suggested by the committee. The estimated cost would be between $180 and $225.
Chairmen Sherm Hopper, industrial
technology major, and Gary McNabb,
business major, have recommended that
either the school ( 1) schedule classes so
that a bulk of the students wouldn't converge on the school grounds at one Jime
more than another or (2) be patient until
the new facilities on the 30th Street campus solve the problem. --Vicki Merrill

In 1962, when Parnell was

Education District, he spied the

"What are you going to do

that, although he had orders
to dispose of the desk, he
could have it.
Parnell had the desk refinished by Floyd Cole, a

him of its
origin.
Parnell said, "If I don't
get to use it on the new

Thurston 90
West Lane 60

Mike Fullerton set an intramural basketball record for scoring in Monday night's
action between Thurston and West Lane by
dumping in 41 points. Thurston came out
the victor in the game by the impressive
score of 90 to 60.
Fullerton started things going for Thurston
in the early minutes of the game by hitting shots from all parts of the court. At
half time Thurston had West Lane by the
score of 43 to 19, Fullerton having
26
points.
In the second half it was much the same
story. Thurston, using fine offensive ball
control ~d fine shooting, make their lead
too much to overcome. Fullerton cooled
down a little bit the second half, "only"
scoring 16 points.
West, lacking in experience and size,
could not make any kind of a come back.
Although they were losing they had some
fine performances turned in by a couple of
their players.
Nick Vanderford scored 18
pcints, followed by Joe Mullen with 16

points. This makes West Lane I s record one
win and four losses and leaves them in a
sixth place tie with South Eugene.
Thurston, by winning the game, stays one
game out of first place and tied in second
place with Springfield. With only tvvo
more games left in the season, Thurston
must win both games to hold onto second
and get a chance for a tie with Bethel if
Bethel should lose one of their next games.
