Over 100 people attended the event at the Lane County Fair Grounds. The theme was The Happening and music was by the Group Therapy. Pies still being taken Faculty members who had pictures taken last year, but not this year, are urged to do so reports Titan Editor Debbie Jo Briggs. Last year's negatives, unless prints were ordered, have been disposed of, she noted: The pictures are being taken at Alex Ziel studio, 1428 Willamette in Eugene. Miss Briggs also noted that many of the instructors were under the impression that if they had pictures taken last year, that none were necessary this year. This is not so, said Miss Briggs. However. after negatives will be preserved for future use. --Jawn Smyth Calendar of events THURSDAY, Nov. 30, Student ::;enate, 2:30 p.m., Snack Shack MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, Dec. 4 to 8, Dead Week WEDNESDAY, Dec. 6, Media Board, Board Meeting THURSDAY, Dec. 7, Last Fall Term Issue of The Torch MONDAY, Dec. 18, Winter Term Registration starts for new students SATURDAY, Deel 16 to Jan. 1, 1968, Christmas Vacation MONDAY, Dec. 25, Christmas Day MONDAY, Jan. 1, New Year's Day MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, Dec. 11 to 15 Final Exam Week TUESDAY, Jan. 2, 1968, Classes Start, Registration ends, Late Fees Start MONDAY, Dec. 11, Winter Term Registration starts for returning students WEDNESDAY, Jan. 3, Board Meeting 54 high schoolers attend LCC Fifty-four high school students and one junior high youngster are attending LCC this term on a part-time basis.

Before the changeover, we had worked quite late (sometimes 9:30 p.m.) on Wednesday night so that a paper would come out the following day. This was hard on everyone involved. Several times during the first six weeks page three was half empty on Wednesday at 7 p.m. We would have to find something that was probably of little interest to you, the reader, to fill the space. On other occasions page four had a hole, so we took pictures of gymnists or stretched the League Standings and games left to play. The reason we ran a Little Man on Campus cartoon on page one was simply because we had no copy. It would be a bit ridiculous to have Dear Zelda on page one, also. (That is what we almost did Nov. 9 l. " The metropolitan four-~ge paper is exactly twice the size of a four-page tabloid. In a met there are 126 inches on a page. That totals 504 inches of copy on four pages. And if you don't think that is a lot, try filling every inch each week. On the tao, we have 64 inches per page, and 256 inches on four pages. An eight-page tab would total 512 inches of copy, eight more inches than the four-page met. A regular taoloid paper has five columns, with each column measuring 1 13/16 inches wide. On the met we used six columns, with one column being 2 7/16 inches wide. However, when I reeretfully agreed to Mr. Romine's Nov. 14 suggestion to decrease the size of the paper (temporarily, I hope), we agreed to continue with the wider columns. Tfiis means four columns per tab-size page. The ~ider columns help us to write better headlines, because we don't have to make them shorter. The reader is able to read the wider column faster and with more comprehension. Take a look. at the Nov. 9 issue. If we had not had tfie full-page picture of the new campus, I am sure page one wa.uld . have been a mess of one and two inch stories. As it was, we still nad trouble filling page three. Pictures help fill the space' but they do have to be taken, developed and printed. And it was beginning to seem impossible to have enough pictures in the Torch each week. Once we made a picture that was intended to be two columns fill four columns. Because -the Torch is printed by off set lithography by the Springfield News, we were the reason the Torch was delivered late on Thursday. When the Torch was delivered to the News at 10 p.m. Wednesday, it was difficult for them to print it, when Thursday is their puolication day and the publication day of several area high school papers that are also printed By the News. I oelieve our main purpose is to increase the QUALITY' of the Torch, before increasing the quantity. This issue, Nov. 30, we have eight pages. Because we included a feature on KLCC, a picture page, one page of Letters to the Editor (which we did not have room for Nov. 16J, and several Dear Zelda letters, (which did-not come from Torch staff members), we were aole to print more pages and possibly make tlie Toren more interesting to you. It was a challenge to put out the four-page met size; a challenge we enjoyed until it became to great a task each week. We were the only junior college newspaper in the United ~ ., , States wfi.o puBlished a weekly met-size paper. One fact that gave us some condolence when changing sizes was that the four column tab "---page is a newer trend in journalism than the six-column met. I guess the Torch likes to be up-to-date. Another worry we had when changing the size was--Would the students like the smaller size better? To my surprise, about 75% of those I talked to said the smaller size was easier to read and carry around. The Nov. 16 issue did seem pretty "dinky", but- we will probably run . . . eight tab pages at least six of the nine issues each term. If we do eight tab pages and want to get the paper out on time we must have four ' pages done -on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday we could get the• other four tab pages done by 4: 4 7. 20 p .m. (the time we finished Wednesday, Nov. 15). But you must admit, some weeks are r:eally "lean" when it comes to news, so we would put out a four-page tab. Like we said two weeks ago. "Happiness is a four-page tab." But then we were told "Happiness is having enough staff members to put out a met-size -paper." But we'll settle L_,,,.,_, ~lllllll[JfJl!l'l 1/" Vi(fl r1 for "Happiness is putting out the Torch each ''WEW~TYOIJ HERE IN r/iOHTcr-THE CLA~,M~. 'Mu<iN~ -1HE5E week. and passing all our classes.

IF ALL OUR CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP US LEARN, WHY DO WE HAVE FINAL EXAM WEEKS? A. Your point is well taken and it con-... cerns a problem which we are trying to solve. All classroom activities should be designed with the intention of providing the best possible learning experiences. Your question suggests the realization that a final examination is not much of a learning experience unless an instructor reviews the test material with his class, thus helping students to recognize and correct errors. The President's Cabinet has kicked around the idea of eliminating the special examination week at the end of each term and replacing it with a week of regular classes. It is felt that this could give the instructor more flexibility. He could administer a final examination and then review it or simply continue with regular class sessions, whichever he wished. Some instructors might want to give a test in the last class session of Dead Week, then review it during what ordinarily would be Finals Week. The question ha's been referred to the Division Council (made up of the instructional deans and the division chairmen) for discussion. It is probably too late to inaugurate such a program for this fall term. However, if this sounds like something you would like, it would be a good idea to let faculty members or division chairman know your feelings. Or better yet, why not express your feelings about this matter in a Torch letter to the editor. P.S.

To clarify this statement I present these facts for your examination. First the studio is designed as a television production studio. Secondly the radio communications and the telecasting classes _are paying $55 a per person for the use of these studios to further their 'Artical' not interesti~g Dear Miss Reece This letter is concerning your artical about Gordon Wehner's trip to Europe. It is the worst artical I have ever read! It is written at a third grade level. There are misspelled words, trite cliches, and bad paragraphs and sentences. If you are the editor of this paper, I advise you to get an Atlas, a dictionary, and learn to proof read your materials before printing them. The students at L. C. C. know longer want to read "Alice & Jerry" books. Try writting an artical at the college level, whether you are there or not. There is no excuse for such sloppy organization and lack of thought. Jerry Marlatt Student at Larg, Springfeild, Camt,us educations in these particular fields. At this · point this education is non-existant for simple lack of lab time, through no fault of the instructor. Now to present the negative side of the issue. Last week the telecasting class was able to use the studio for a grand total of one and one half days out of a school week consisting of five days. I ask you; is this fair to our education, will this help further our education in the telecasting field? This is doubly unfair when you consider that all the other departments have access to their facilities five full days a week. Granted the purpose of these meetings is to promote the general good of the school, but isn't the purpose of this school to provide us with a complete and practical education. We feel that the answer to that question is an undeniable yes, however, how can we achieve a full education on such a limited use of our equipment? It seems as though another place could be set up for these meetings. I realize that we will be told to wait for the new campus, but that does not help us this year. We are paying for an education that involves practical use of television equipment, and I would appreciate it if we got this use. End of gripe. Harvey Dolan Gib Randall Dale Keeny F. R. Humphrey John Mcirvin Shawn Kelly Ken Sturdevant Arnold McCarthy Harry Lipsit 'Cracker Barrel' said childish To the editor: In the October 26 issue of The Torch, an article appeared concerning the names of the new campus buildings and entrances. My gripe concerns a block of ideas presently before the Campus Planning Committee. That block of ideas "centers about a 'learning village,' with the LibraryLP.ar11ing Resource Center d11bhed 'The Ce~t~r,' and a 'C~acker Barrel' snack bar and the forum building would be the 'Town Hall.' Entrances to the campus would be called 'Westgate,' 'Southgate,' and 'Eastgate.'" I'm furious! No kidding, our (every LCC student's) intelligence has been insulted beyond credibility by this childish, storybook garbage. I also resent its implications of immaturity. It's so elementary, I'd be ashmed to go to LCC if the new campus had names like those. It seems a real shame to spend $16 million, and then name it a "learning village." This is Lane Community College, not Disneyland! However, we could erect an impressive statue in the memory of Dopey, one of Snow White's Seven Dwarfs, along with an inscription reading: "Pioneer Father, 1967 ." Dr. Parnell said, "We want unity, something that will give us conffnuity for now and into the future." College life, both now and in the future, has no place for this Cracker Jack, Mother Goose garbage presently under consideration by the Campus Planning Committee. Jerry Foster Grades should be abolished To the editor: At Lane Community College, as at most other colleges, the prevelant concept is that a college education means a degree and a degree means earning potential. Education has become less a means to learn and thus improve oneself than a means to learn and earn. The college educational system is bound in this concept. Education should once again become a means for self-improvement: it should cease to be simply a means for monetary and material improvement. Private initiative for the sole purpose of learning could be restored, in part, with the abolishing of grades. Job selection and thus earning potential are measured and decided to a great degree by the grade point average on the student's transcript.

Dear Zelda: Like your other writers and readers, I have a problem. I grew up in a very small town where everyone knows everyone else from the first grade. Thus, I never learned how to meet people effectively--especially girls. I suppose you can take it for granted I'm a boy. When I was a senior in high school, I was elected to a state office in a church organization. I had no problem meeting people under these circumstances because of my elected prestige. I came to Eugene to go to school; I don't know any datable girls to speak of. I've met two high school girls through friends but yippee scippee, you know. If I could talk to a girl chances are I'd never see her again, (which has happened) or they don't recognize me or seem too friendly next time I meet them in the halls or see them in the lounge, or at work or somewhere. If two people aren't introduced and don't have any classes .together, what can they do or say to get the 'ball rolling? I'm really sort of speechless because I don't know their interests and they don't know mine. I guess I'm bashful or shy and don't really know how to start a conversation with a stranger. "'"',§"""~''''' Stranger Dear Stranger: Why not conduct an "interview" with her. Make up a questionaire. It's a sneaky way to find her name, interests and ambitions out, but it's worth a try.

Led by James Snow, math prof, the group is readying information for a October, 1968, visit from representatives of the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. The visitors will decide if Lane is ready for full and unconditional accreditation. "Self-stud y," says Snow, "is an analy- sis of the college's total educational ef• fectiveness, made by its own staff and students." It is a comprehensive review o the reasons for the college's existence a determination of the relevance of all ib activities to its fundamental purposes, anc a realistic appraisal of its achievementf and needs.

Ac tiv itie s po lic y sti ll no t ad op ted who Adoption of a student activities policy was tabled until Dec. 6 by the LCC Board of Education. The policy calls for Board assumption of financial responsibility of activity costs and states that the college may participate in any American Association of Junior Colleges student activity except tackle football. Built into the proposed policy are provisions that (1) activities be limited by the college budget, (2) no athletic scholarships be permitted, and (3) there be no extra compensation for coaching. The policy was approved bv the Student Senate Oct. 12, by the Activities Committee Nov. 1, and by the President's Cabinet Nov. 7. The complete policy reads as follows: "It shall be the policy of Lane Community College to encourage a program of student activities to further the objectives of the College as an educational institution which provides environment to facilitate the improvement and fulfillment of the whole man; intellectual, spiritual, and physical.

All student activities should endeavor to meet thfs objective to be part of the insti- . U~--S- E-D tution's program. "The Board of Education accepts the financial responsibilities, within the budgetary limitations of the College, for the expenditures for supervision and capital outlay of a student activities program. Staff supervision (coaching, etc.) should usually be computed as a part of the normal staff load. "The administration shall adopt regulations for the initiation, conduct, and appraisal of all student activities, including .intercollegiate activities, being guided by the following criteria. The activities should: 1. be an outgrowth of, or contribute to, the regular College program; 2. stem from demonstrated student needs or expressed desires; 3. be supervised by staff; 4. reflect the special needs of the unique LCC student body; 5. Fulfill the general educational objectives of the institution; 6. fit within the limitations of facilities and budget of the student body, and/or the Board of Education of Lane Community College; 7. fall within the limits of loca, state, or national regulations where applicable and where such regulations are not in conflict with the philosophy and elgibility rules v-w·s We have· the largest stock of used, V-W's in the Northwe st.

Although very little is said about it, the history behind it dates back to 5000 B.C. in Egypt. Some ceramic articles 10,000 years old are still in good condition, There are several simple steps in making a complete pot. These steps are to obtain the clay by either digging it from a hillside, bottom of a pond, or by buying a dry powder that is mixed with water and not play-doh. After the moist clay is acquired, it is wedged to remove the air bubbles and to obtain ·This is just like kneading an even mix. bread. Then you break off chunks of clay and mash them into neat little or big balls. Then you throw the ball on the center of the potter's wheel and center them by manipulation of the hands. You use water as a lubricant. After the ball is centered, you poke a hole in the middle of it and pinch the sides and squeeze the clay out and around until you get a cylinder. Then ~se the good old "punch and jab" until you obtain and maintain your de.sired shape of either plates, bowls, cups, gourds, crocks, etc. There is po secret in ceramics.

Page 7, Nov. 30, 1967, THE TORCH LIBRARY• .COMMENTS By DONALD OWNBEY Students in LCC American history classes will be studying the course of our nation's history through the Jackson period by the end of this term. For those students who might be interested, the library has several books which can add to one's knowledge of that time. The War of 1812 is the subject of two books which the library has in its collection. The Republic in Peril: 1812 by Roger H. Brown deals with the American decision to declare was on the British and examine the motives of those involved in making that decision. The book The War of 1812 by Harry L. Coles is a compact history of that conflict which narrates the struggle both on land and sea and examine the war from the British and Canadian· point of view as well as the American point of view. The military, economic, and poHtical consequences of the war are examined and the book serves as an excellent analysis of the times. The first book may be found in the Springfield library and the latter in the Bethel library. The theme of nationalism between 1815 and 1828 is dealt with by George Dangerfield in The Awaking of American Nationaljsm, 1815-1828., which describes·the passing of our nation from the Jeffersonian Pilot speaks to flight class . Two speakers spoke recently to the flight technology class at LCC. They were Richard Pingrey, pilot for Pan American airlines, and Jerry Coldeen, chief controller at Mahlon Sweet Airport control tower.

Coldeen, who has spoke to the class once before, told about air traffic control and landing directions. 795 era into the Jacksonian era. This thread of our history is then taken up by Glyndon Van Deusen in the book The Jackson Era, 1828-1848.

We need all the help we can muster in slowing down the "Slaughter on the highways.;' I think "lights on" is one of the answers . Deep in the human brain lies an "alerting" system. This system responds when it is stimulated by a "difference" observed. Auto lights provide that "difference," and therefore could "alert" persons to the presence of another occupant of the passing lane, or to an auto intending to pass. Without lights, we will continue the deadly procession of head-on and rear-end collisions. I think the "poor visability" law should be strictly enforced, first with warning tickets and next with fines. $200 24-Montha To Pay Freeze 795 Wgnn i Radiator F/111/, Wgnn i Radiator ltop Rud Wgnn i Water Pump lubricant GET-ACQUAINTED OFFER OFFER EXPIRES lnilt•~t:13 Ml1l i - - - :. - DECEMBER 15, 1967 · · ·- - , ••• ALAN'S HANCOCK 885 RIVER RD., 2 gallo ns of ar ,m.cw• free EUGENE ' gas • winter term intram urals By JOHN MOORE Students at Lane Community College who are interested in participating in the Winter term intramural program are being asked to sign up on Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 4 and 5.

North Eugene slips by All-Stars, 47-42. By GENE COGBURN It may have been the way the American Football League started, but it was the way the intramural league ended, as league champion North Eugene defeated all-star team 47-42 in a wild scoring affair that was reminiscent of the early AFL games. The defensive squads of each team were hardly effective as both offenses romped over the field for the game's length. It was the highest point total by two teams achieved this intramural season. The only high spot in the all-stardefense came in the first quarter, as Chri~ Garner of Bethel intercepted a North pass with the score tied 7-7. This gave the all-stars.possession and a chance to gain the lead. The all-star offense responded almost immediately, as all-star QB Terry Myers hit Bob Corcoran with a 23 yard TD pass to put the all-stars ahead 13-7. Myers added the PAT, and the all-stars kicked off with a 14-7 advantage. North and the all-stars had swapped TD's at the game's beginning, as North took the opening kickoff in on a 57 yard pass from Jeff Etchison to Gordy Kaufman, for a 7-0 lead. Myers matched Etchison's pass, as he pitched 50 yards to Corcoran on the next series of downs to give the all-stars a first down on the ten yard line. Myers then equalized the score with a ten yard sweep and PAT run, 7-7. After the all-stars had gone ahead, the Northmen came right back to tie the score &~ E .; .

The tie didn't last as the all-stars scored as soon as they got the North kickoff. Myers gave the all-stars the edge with a 68 yard scoring pass to Leo Tsou. The all-stars went seven points up when Corcoran added the PAT. North came back with six points of their own as Etchison passed to Dan Buck for a TD, but still trailed as the PAT failed. The all-stars appeared headed for a slim 21-20 lead at halftime, but a key defensive play gave North one more chance with the ball before the break. QB Etchison took advantage of the break and scored on a 12 yard run to give North the lead just before the half, 26-21. North started right where it left off, as in the second half it opened up a 12 point lead. On the first series of downs in the second half the Northmen scored on a 20 yard pass from Etchison to Richardson and lead 33-21. The all-stars drove through the North defenses to move to within five points on the next series of downs as Myers got the TD on a 21 yard run. A pass to center Reb Bonney added the p AT. North Eugene and the all-stars just swapped TD's the rest of the way, as each team scored twice more. North regained their 12 point advantage as Al Abbott took a 50 yard pass in for the score.
