POW kept sanit y by forgi ving enem ies
By OON WILT

This month Paul Armstrong, assistant professor. of Language Arts at Lane Community
College, is celebrating a silver anniversary--an anniversary he would like to for_get.
In May, 1942; Armstrong was taken prisoner o~ war by the Japanese Army with
the fall of Corregidor in the South Pacific.
Living in El Centro, Calif. , Armstrong
was 29 years old when the draft was introduced.
"Barely seven years older than the youngest and seven years younger than the oldest," he jokes as he explains that the draft
was then drawing from the 21 to 35 year
age group.
Armstrong was, at the time, working as
a painter and had attended Chico State
College where he later graduated with a
B. A. in English.
He felt it was inevitable that he would
be drafted, but thought he would be rejected because of his assumed poor health. In
March, 1941, he went to a recruiting officer fairly certain he wouldn't be accepted.
"What physique I have today I owe to the
Japanese Army," says Armstrong of his
masculine frame. "At the time I joined
the Army I had the shape of a very scholarly question mark. 11
.But Uncle Sam wanted everyone he could
get and soon it Private Armstrong, United
State Army.
After basic training, Armstrong was stationed at Fort Drum--a fortified island
resembling a ship--in the south channel of
Manila Bay. He had been on his post only
seven months when war broke out. Five
months later, after troops under Lt. Gen.
Johnathon Wainwright had battled futilely
for about a month after the fall of Bataan,
the Japanese captured Corregidor, the
main U. S. fortress in Manil'- Bay. Shortly
thereafter, the Japanese took over Fort
Drum.

Tickets for the semi-formal May 13 dance
are on sale at the Eugene and Springfield
bookstores for $2 per couple. The dance
will be held at the Eugene Hotel from
8:30 p. m. to 12:00 p, m. Music is being
provided by the Titan Tones, Bob Norman
director, Ken Gillaspie student director.

Repeating his habit of running his hand
over his slightly greying , close cropped
hair, and squinting hjs eyes as if the years
have clouded his memory, Armstrong related the capturing of Fort Drum.
"As I remember it, we stayed that night
(the night Corregidor fell) at Fort Drum.
No one came to greet us. The Japanese
came the next day however. We stayed
on the upper deck of the fort while the officers went through the surrendering process
downstairs. Around mid-forenoon the Japanese came up to the top deck and our
sign of surrender--a white tablecloth--was
replaced by the Jap3.1!ese flag. 11
From Fort Drum, the prisoners were taken
by Japanese junks to the town of WaWa,
where they were told, they were to be punished for their crimes against the Emperor
of Japan.
"The first stage of our punishment consisted of several days of working without
i,ood, water, or sleep. Ultimately, the
diet became rice with greens boiled in
saltwater and called whistle-weed soup, 11
recalls Armstrong.
"We never really had an adequate diet,
although later our diet improved as we began to barter with the Japanese--mostly
black market stuff. Sometimes we had
Red Cross food parcels, but not too often.
"At my lowest point during my imprisonment I weighed 88 pounds," says the exPOW who now looks slender at 180. • "Death

Student Council aliegned their group and
student support with the faculty proposal
for a new voting procedure at the Oregon
Community College Association conference and also took a stand to withhold
money for the payment of Intramural
Council's bills until they present a constitution at their Thursday meeting.
The faculty .proposal at OCCA, which
Student Council has come out in support
of, allows an equal vote per section for
administration, board, faculty and students, and further allows additional votes
according to student population. This
method is intended to (1) give equal representation to each section and (2) to
prevent a control of votes by the three
largest schools, Portland CC, Lane CC and'

Mt. Hood CC. According to the present
system of voting there is a vote per head
for anyone at the convention, leaving
the convention open to control by anyone
of the factions.
Several Student Council representatives
are attending the convention May 5 and
6 at the Marion Hotel, Salem, They
are Gary McNabb, O. S. C. C. S. A. president; Bob Wimberly, ASB president; .GiGi Gamble, second vice-president; Phyllis Booth, corresponding secretary, Gary
Keen, treasurer; Shenn Hopper, Barbara

at Thursday's meeting that they would

Last week's Torch contained a cartoon

because of everything the Fry Cook Class

staff and students to come out and support

get the other side of the picture. So, I
went to Buck Bailey, who I consider a
friend and who will disagree with me on
any subject I choose.
After expla.ining in detail that I had been
waiting for three weeks to see a reporter
from the paper, I went on to tell him what
happened as a result of the meeting. When
he did show up, I asked the reporter of The
Torch if he would write a detailed story,
explaining the almost des.pera.te need for
people to feed, talk about our menu, the
specials at almost give away prices, (hamburger with everything on it, order of fries,
and a coke, for three days 30¢, plus others. ),
student's names, and an over-all view of
the training program. From everything we
talked about, I was sure it would end up
covering half the page, as the reporter
had many thoughts on the subject himself.
(Everyone seems to like talking about
food. ) For·a heading, I suggested something eye catching like, "Fry Cook Students

I recognize that students may be influenced by their performance 'in a ·class. However, if a student writes comments, with
specific reasons for an evaluation, his perception is often impressive. Faculty memhers have expressed favorable reactions to
the essays from last year.
I don't mind bragging about LCC, and
the_se essays give me a chance to brag about both students and instructors.

Briefhand
offered

A 10 week brief hand course is being offered on the Eugene campus starting May
9, Tuesday night, 7 to 10 p. m. The
briefhand class will benefit both college
transfer students and secretaries who wish
to speed up their note taking, said Bill
Morris, assis~ant dean of adult education.
The class is a 30 hour course, which meets
once a week on Tuesday nights. The tuition fee, $12, may be payed at the first
class meeting.

Assistance a'v ailable

Financial assistance is available to students in several forms:
(1) The Board of Education gives every
year a scholarship to a graduating senior
from each of the 24 high schools in the
college district. In addition, it gives a
limited number of scholarships to graduates
of the adult education program.
(2) The college receives from private
8?urces and service clubs some scholarships
which each year are awarded to needy and
deserving students. Some of these are a. warded directly by donars and some are
given to the college to award.
(3) The college has received from the
federal government a substantial grant of
money to be used to employ students in
various jobs around the school. These range
from office work and teacher aids to custodial helpers and groundskeepers. These assignments are known as work-study employment and include summer work as well as

school year emplo~ent. They usually
pay $1. 25 to $1. 50 per hour.
(4) In addition, assistance in finding work
in the community is available through the
off ice of the placement coordinator. Interested students register in person to receive this help.
( 5) The college participates with the
federal government in administering N. D.
E. A. and government guarante~d loan
funds. These are long terms loans which a
student may: receive to finance his education. The rate of interest is low, three per
cent, and payment of the loan does not begin until the student ceases or finishes his
educational program. Applications for
these loans are available from Financial
the
Aids counselor, Frances Howard on
Eugene
campus
.
.
(6) The college has received from t!ie
government an allotment of money which
may be distributed to students as grants.

•

Grant money is awarded as outright gifts
and is not to be repaid. However, there
are stipulations about how it can be given
since it must be matched with other money in each case where it is apportioned
to the student.
Students needing tinancial assistance are
encouraged to see the financial aids counselor, who has been assigned the responsibility of helping needy and deserving to
pursue their educations.

Adult Ed. serves 8,000
By OON WILT

A middle-aged man working in a craft ,
shop finds himself being demoted rather
than promoted. He soon realized that the
jobs he had one planned on advancing to

Bill Morris, assistant dean, describes the
program as "extensive. "
"We pride ourselves on being highly flexible, 11 says Morris of the program which now
contains some 144 courses. Classes range
from welding to charm.

few programs not supported by state funds,
works closely with many inter-city agencies in the county and outside school districts.
"We work in close co-operation with the
Eugene police and fire departments, " said
Morris. Many of the relationships with outside school districts such as Cottage Grove,
Blue River and Oakridge, are also highly
cooperative. We are proud of these rela-

tionships. "
The program serves mainly young adults,
but, noted the administrators, there is a
wide sprinkling of almost every age group
from 18 through 55.
The program will definitely expand, because jobs are getting harder and harder to
get, and even harder to hang on to. People
will come for the courses offered, and if
they don't find what they want they will
simply have it added to the many already
offered. Exclaimed Morris, "We have added half a dozen classes in the last three
weeks. 11

Novice handball
won by B. Bayne
.

.

Bill Bayne defeated Gary Trapman 3125 in the finals of the LCC intramural novice handball tourney Friday afternoon.
In the earlier rounds of the tourney, held
a week ago Wednesday, Bayne had defeated Jim Gray 31-3 and Paul Axtell 31-10.
Trapman had advanced to the finals with
victories over Bill Hoge 31-18, Nick McCarroll 31-27, and Bob Marshall 31-25.
Bayne showed "real good potential II in
his first handball tourney, according to
Tom Young, meet director. "If he sticks
with it, he could be real good in a couple
of years."
Bill Hoge won the consolation round in
the tourney with a 31-14 victory over Dave
Hufford. Hoge had suffered a first round
loss to Trapman, but then rebounded to
gain decisions over Jeff Hamilton 31.:.12,
and Brad Reed, 31-27 before besting Hufford in the finals.
The novice tourney was the first of its
kind held at LCC, and was a great success
according to Young. "The tourney provided a lot of fun and expedence for the boys.
We might have an other open tourney toward the end of the term. It would add
some incentive. 11 Young finished up sayBill Bavne

ing, "we'll have to give Bill (Bayne) a
chance
that tourney and see how he '11
do. "--Gary Nave

The first intramural softball gam~ was

Anoth~r game was scheduled for last night
at 4: 30 at Willamalane.
If more interest isn't shown by next Monday night's session (also at 4:30) the program will have to be dropped. There are •
still a lot of people who said they wanted
to play who haven't shown up yet. So, ·if

A review of new developments in federal

television stations through federal financial assistance was the main topic in the

The April 10 meeting included a proposal
of the Carnegie Foundation which would
not only provide funds for the construction
of such ETV stations, but also financial
support for creating a fourth TV network.
This netwo11k would be known as "public
television" and would link these stations
together for the release of programs. Funds
would also be available for station programming at the local level if the recommendations of the Carnegie Foundation are
followed, said Houglum. --Mona Eymann

By LARRY PIQUET
Question: When will Lane Community
College have intercollegiate sports?
This question has been kicking around
since the school was started. People want
to see a program started like the one that
has been established at Treasure Valley
Community College across the state.
This question was taken to Cecil Hodges,
chaimian of the P. E. and Health Division.
His first words were, "If the students want
such a program started they should get petitions and send them to the Board of Education. 11
Right now LCC has a staff to work on intramural activity for the students. But it
is the students who must show some inter. est in starting a program. With pushing
from students and other persons more ac•tion will be done about this program.
The big setback is the facilities. There
is nowhere to practice and dress. Hodges
would li}te to see, in the new LCC, places
just for these activities. At Treasure Valley practic~s are at the high schooi in On- .
tario, whicli tends to be quite hectic at • •
times.
The question is one that can be ~ered

if students will work to answer it. It does
not just take words, as Hodges says. It
takes action on many people's parts. Words
can never do more than the whole body.
