Honor _society
accepted
The constitution of Phi Theta Kappa, a
national junior college honor society, was
accepted by the Student Senate at their
Nov. 30 meeting. The society is open to
both college transfer and vocational-technical students.
Judy Ray, recording secretary, explained
the constitution. To be a member of the
scholastic honor fraternity, a student
"shall be regularly enrolled at LCC carrying a full-time load of 10 credit hours or
more, maintain a cumulative grade point
average of 3.50 or above and have completed two quarters in college credit work."
To maintain active membership, a student
shall have a GPA of 3.25 at the end of each
,quarter.
National dues shall be $10 per initiate.
Local chapter dues have been set at $1
per term, per initiate.
A committee headed by Patti Baumann,
fine arts senator, is to select five students and five faculty members as charter
members of LC C's Phi Kappa chapter.

The Torch staff and management urges all who will be on the
highways to drive defensively this holiday season.

Student Senate approved an intercollegiate athletic budget estimate for the 19681969 school year at their.Nov. 30 meeting.
This is the first concrete action taken
besides the writing of the student activities policy since intercollegiate sports
were first thought about one and a half
years ago.
Senate said they would put $4,200 into
intercollegiate athletics, which is almost
twice the amount ($2,524) the district would
pay. However, $9,600 for instruction is not
included.
It is possible that nine sports, including
basketball, will be offered to men next
year. Cross country, golf, tennis, track,
wrestling, basketball, gymnastics, soccer,
and swimming are being considered.
For women there could be field hockey,
basketball, track and tennis.
The budget was presented to the Board
of Education at their meeting last night,
and a decision was forthcoming as The

Fourteen persons attended
Titan staff organizational meeting, according to editor Debbie Jo Briggs. The group
discussed plans for this year's annual, a
tenative layout schedule, sales campaign,
and staff responsibilities.
"I'm very pleased with the turnout,"
Miss Briggs said. "Most of these people
are experienced, which will make my job
much easier. I'll be able to delegate them
more responsibilities this way."
Jim Ulmer was appointed to the position
of Photography Editor with Dan Rosen,
John Brandt and Bob Adams to be assisting
him in getting pictures.
The production staff will include Vicki
Counts, Sheila Doughty, Joann• Gibbs and
Steve Wo<?ds with Jan Dietz to be setting

Those on general assignment and writing
copy are Louie Adler, Gene Cogburn, Jerry
Foster and Leon Lindsay. Mrs. Betty
Ekstrom is advisor.
Many of these will work on different
jobs throughout the year, Miss Briggs
noted. "This will be done so that their
experience will be more varied and so
they can find out which portion of working
on the yearbook is most interesting for

them."
'' Many staff positions are yet to be
made," she said. "We just have to see
who is best for what job."
"Theme for this year's book is growth."

Eleven weeks ago 2,868 students started the
fall term at LCC. Everyone (well, almost
everyone) was anxious to see how his classes

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

and college life in general would turn out.
After the first few frantic days, students
seemed to accept Lane as it was. They began
to drift into the habit of just attending
school. Some students would come to class
and leave again without stopping to pass the
time of ~ay with anyone.
Once, about five weeks ago, students came
out of their shell for a few days and communicated with their profs or fellow students.
That was because of midterms. Such comments
as ttl studied all night, but I studied the
wrong thing," or "Too bad you just missed
passing the test by three points," were heard
This week happens to be dead week. During
the week all student activities (except ye
ole newspaper) cease. Students are supposedly spending every night at home, using every
possible minute preparing for next week.
And what is next week? For the freshmen
who are ~1=ying themselve·s to sleep worrying
about passing their finals--I say, don't
worry. All you have to do is sweat blood for
two hours while answering questions that will
tell your teacher how much you don't know.
But remember--although the final counts quite
a lot, you always get the midterm you flunked
averaged in with it.
Good luck next week, have a pleasant (?)
celebration over the Holidays, and we'll see
you next term at Lane (still trying to raise
the GPA).--Charlotte Reece

LI-BRARY- .COMMENTS
By DONALD OWNBEY

One of several reasons that I became a
librarian is because I enjoy books and be-lieve in reading both for knowledge and for
pleasure. Now my job involves assisting
others to find and use books in the search
for knowledge. Many books pass through
the cataloging process at_ Lane Community
College and a typical shipment of books
will encompass many subjects of interest.
To point out the variety of books that
we are now acquiring for use by LCC students and staff, I went to the shelf on which
books are placed before they are cataloged
and picked six books which interestd me
and may interest you.
Right on top of the stack was the Pi9toriaJ Guide to the Moon by Dinsmore Alter~
It has 138 and 25 drawings of excellent

literature of flight compiled by E. M. Quittenden. Open the Sky contains short selections about the men who fly, the machines
they fly in war and peace, and the environment in which they fly.
Paul Dudley White and Curtis Mitchell
have · written Fitness for the Whole Family
for those who are interested in maintaining
themselves iil good physical condition. There
is even a section of the book which is concerned with the relationship -of physical
fitness and insurance. Ibe Two Ends of
the Log by Russell M, Cooper is not about
the lumber industry but is an appraisal of
college teaching and teachers and maintains an interest in the improvement of
teaching in higher education. This book is
a good example of the old cliche that titles
sometimes are deceiving.
An introduction to paleontology by George
Simpson, Life of the Past, presents a study
of fossil life and describes how living
things were preserved and how they are
discovered and interpreted. One chapter
relates an interesting discussion of the
theories of evolution. ·The last book that I
selected from the shelf was Floral Biology
by Mary S. Percival. The necessity of pollination; the biology of flower parts; and
the process of pollination by natural means,
by insects, by birds, and by bats ~re some
of the topics in this book written particu larly for students.
These books have been processed and are
now available for use along with many others
on a great variety of subjects. If these
books are not of interest, perhaps others
-will be.

A word
with death

In a world with complex definitives and
terms, it is the simplest task I can think
of to place myself within society. I am,
in rank, a man first, a husband and/or
father second and an American third. I
am not unpatriotic. I cherish living. I
revere the world peoples around me and
the opportunity to give of myself. I thank
God for giving the breath I breathe and the
ability to give breath to my children who
I hope will love what I love.
I am deeply grateful to those who have
made my country a nitch where I can recognize and accomplish the above. It has
been made for me to do all that I wish
and I have but one real desire remaining.
I wish to have a word about the way I die.
I wish to speak with death and have it agree
that I have done all that I can and I am
ready to walk in front of it into a nitch of
awareness.--Hugh Davis

Don't block
driveways

Staff members- and students who park
their autos across driveways of private
homes near the Eugene campus, or otherwise obstruct traffic, risk having their
vehicles towed away. Custodian Pete Balkema says residents have been advised to
have offending cars towed away at the car
owner's expense.

Accreditation
due in 1968

Q.
WHAT IS IMPLIED BY THE TERM
"ACCREDITATION" AND WHY ALL THIS
STUDENT-STAFF ACTIVITY IN REGARD
TO IT?

A. "Ac-creditation" is a term used to
signify that, because the college meets
or surpasses minimal academic standards,
students may transfer the credits (usually
only those credits tabbed college transfer,
although some of the occupational course
credits will also transfer to some fouryear institutions) they earn to other institutions of higher education. There are six
regional accrediting associations in the
country. Members include those secondary
schools, community colleges and four-year
colleges and univen;ities which desire to
maintain standards insuring the integrity
and quality of their programs and credits.
LCC presently is now provisionally accredited. This means that our credits are
generally transferable and that we have a
three-year period in which to prepare for
regular accreditation. This preparation includes our meeting certain criteria as to
academic standards and completing an elaborate Self Study of all phases of the college. A team of regional educators will
visit Lane in October 1968 to assess strengths and weaknesses and make a recommendation as to whether or not regular
accreditation should be granted.
The eleven staff committees, now examining all phases of the college as part
of the Self Study, are doing work which will
have influence well beyond the visit of the
accreditation team. Their assessments of
where the college is headed, what its goals
should be, and how these goals should be
implemented will serve as an action blueprint for many years.

Love Stares Repla·ce71a-:,:e
By ALJCE THORN

E

I've thought about the question, "What
does Christmas mean to you," for some
time now, trying to come up with an answer. I know all this rushing about filling
a Christmas gift list isn't it. That may be
a part of it, but it's not the real answer.
Love? Yes; love is the answer. But what
kind of Love? Love for whom? And why?
That's easy, isn't it. You love your girl
friend, your dad, your mother, maybe an
aunt or cousin. What's wrong with that?
Nothing. Except I mean the kind of love
that can quiet a hungry child; console a
sorrowing friend; forgive a wrong; call an
outcast--brother; the kind of love that enables-~ai man to protect the girl he loves-- ·.from himself. Is there one of us so secure
that he doesn't need a smile of encouragement, so poor .that he cannot help another?
Is there anyone who hasn'tr felt lighter
hearted all day because of a friendly greeting? These too are a part of that love.
Because scientists are locked in their
"evolutionary kick," they have wasted much
time trying to prove that man evolved from

~ome micro-organism. Consequently, fhey
have neglected the study of this very observable force for good--love. Since lower
animals have been used in scientific experiments to a great extent, the researchers
have been unable to agree on what makes
a man destructive instead of constructive;
unhappy instead of happy.
- From this morass of uncertainty, then,
our young men are taken into battle, perhaps to lose their lives. The more I learn
of the working of the human mind, the more
certain I am that a Master Builder created
this complicated organ which controls our
needs, frustrations, hopes, and yes, loves.
Why should it seem strange that God used
the same pattern for humans that he used
for lower animals? Since He found the pattern good, why should He change it? Isn't
it logical to assume that He crafted each
creature accordlng to its purpose in life?
Inventors ·surely don't throw away all parts,
materials, and concepts when they desire
to construct a better machine. Don't they
use a pattern that has proved to be good,
and then refine it? I believe God has constructed us in such a manner that we
need communication, not only with each
other, but with Him, through prayer. But

how are we to convey this meaning--a loving Creator--to the "love-starved," "hatecrazed" people in mental institutions, or
to those on the battle front who have lost
their faith in God? I recently read the
book, "Black Like Me," in which the author
describes the actual physical distress he •

J C B ; > Ir-: C>

I was born, like most reindeer, had a
very happy fawnhood, didn't get into too
much trouble, you know the old bit, but my
adult life has been utterly miserable.
Looking back, I can't really see where
my folks failed me- -I was provided with
plenty of food and water and grew up in a
good atmosphere, but somewhere along the
line, someone goofed or something went
haywire in the establishment.
Stop and look at it this· -way--Iike who
enjoys spending Xmas flying around in
that cold sky. Don't get me wrong, I've
heard about all those tales of Jolly Saint
Nick and I do enjoy all the glory and publicity that has come my way, but has anyone
ever heard the real truth about us reindeer that pull Santa's sleigh, or least of
all, about my red nose.
The reason I wasn't playing those stu,Pid reindeer games was because I had a
cold, not because the others didn't like me.
It wasn't my unsociability then, that caused
Mr. Claus to choos@ me, then, it was be-

cause I had a cold in my nose, causing it
to be red and sore from blowing it so much.
I'm sure you've all suffered from the same
problem.
To get back to my story, we were all
trying to catch a last 40 winks, when here
comes Santa and all the loot. If I'd known
what would take place that evening as a
result of my night carousing with the guys,
I'd never have done it. Oh well, too late
..
now, I told myself.
Boy, was I ever going to regret that
night. I saw the fat little old man coming
towards me with that lead harness and
cringed. Could I help it if the light kept
shining off my nose and because of his nearsightedness (that was before he got glasses)
that he thoughf'.lny nose glowed?.
Anyhow, now, years later, look at my
plight. Each year I have to plan when to
go carousing (much to my spouse's chagrin)
so that I can get a cold to coincide with
Christmas and all that jazz. Then I find
myself flying around in that cold sky asking myself, "Why, why, why?"
So far, all my.children have been lucky-they're all girls and will never have to go
through the yearly chore. As for the restof
us, we'll be catchirur that last 40 winks before we' re off again into the wild blue yonder.

SMALL TALK:
Mistress of Machiavellian Mischief
Why does a little thing, such as a ring, sometimes cause so much concern? Cash? Don't be
naive, dearie. Learn ... then earn. Weisfield's
has a credit plan fq_r students of promise.

·L et's examin~ Christmas. Christmas i~:
when Christ was suppqsedly born, but few
people actually believe in, and follow the
tea~hings of Christ these. days. So why not
propose, in a similar manner ·as the University of Oregon Homecoming controversy,
that we do away with Christmas. Why not?
What does Christmas mean to you? Christmas is a time to honor loved ones with
gifts, but you can do that anytime.
Christmas is a time for families to get
together, for people to get off work and a
time to think a little, drink a lot, and spend
what little money one has. How does the
holiday . affect most American children?
This brings to mind the sadly true cartoon
that shows a youngster surrounded by a
heaping pile of toys a,nd jun~, and comes
up with the question, "Is that all?"
Now, to examine those toys. What percentage of them are items connected with
violence, war and killing? This is Christmas, the anniversary of the birth of Christ!
Did he teach men to kill and create wars?
Hardly, what he did teach was how to avoid
them but men are too greedy and lecherous
to love and live with one another in peace.
Why does Mao, Castro, or Ho Chi Minh
have to play God? For that matter, why
does the United States have to play God?
Can't we live and let live? This would be
Christianity, then Christmas would really
be worth celebrating and there could truly
be peace on earth and good will toward
men.
What does Christmas accomplish in the
hearts and minds of men today? We have
a short lull in the Vietnam war, we have
.illustrious thoughts of a fantastic Santa
Clau·s·, but who in heaven or hell or ·God's_
,·earth really cares about t\le true and original meaning of Christmas?

sider the selection of a tree and it's
trimmings, the lighting of bayberry candles, or even baking Christmas cookies
and candies for loved ones. To me, these
instances are all beauty in a pure form.
When I say beauty in a pure form, I
would compare it to the innocence of
freshly-fallen snow upon the ground. Just
as the snow wraps a warm blanket about
the ground, so does the beauty of the
Christmas season enfold God's children.
Looking deeper into beauty, I would say
that it has different meanings to different
people. Beauty to one person may be summed up as "immaculate " while to another
person it may be considered "fair." At
ariy rate, the mood is there, whether or
not we wish to accredit it.
When I stop to count my blessings, I
realize an even deeper meaning of the

Each person has his own favorite season
of the year, to which he is rightly entitled. As for myself, I could pick none
other than the Christmas season. My main
reason for this choice is because I adore
the beauty of the Christmas mood. By
this, I mean the radiance, brilliance, elegance and splendor that accompany this
particular season.
Haven't you ever stood for an hour or
so on a street corner just watching passersby burdened down with packages of every
size, shape, color and form? What about
the familiar ringing of distant chapel bells,
or even tender voices of children singing the praises of a New-Born-Ki ngJ?I Con-

true beauty in the Christmas mood. Not
only is this beauty an outward sight, but
also an inner glow of radiance that comes
from deep within the soul. I only wish that
the Christmas season's mood would remain
with each and every person not onlv I/12
of a year, but all year around; for ind~ed
the true beauty of this Holy Season hes
in the familiar statement, "Peace on Earth
and Good Will Towards Men."
I would now like to share with you a
story ( a beautiful story of the Christmas
mood, I might add ) that was told to me
while I was in gradeschool. Here is the
way I remember it:
As Christmas Eve drew to a close
in a small nameless town hidden high in
the Swiss Alps, people hurried to a church,
high atop a hill to offer gifts to their NewBorn-King. The chapel bells hadn't rung
for many years,, and it was said that
they would only ring again wheri God was
really pleased with His children's work.
So naturally everyone tried to give bigger
and better presents than their neighbor to
hear the bells ring. On their way to the
church, each person passed a helpless,
old beggar woman who had fallen inasnowdrift, too weak to get up. As she called
out for their help, each person ignored
her plea and burried on towara me church
•
to present their offerings.
As a small orphan boy, who had only
one gold six-pence to offer God approached,
he heard her cry and reached down and
pulled her out of the snow. He then gave
her his gold six-pence to buy herself a
hot meal and wished her a Blessed Christmas.
It was almost dark as he reached the
small church. He still hadn't heard the
chapel bells ring. As he brushed the snow
off his tattered jacket and removed his
stocking cap, he humbly knelt down in
Immediately the chapel bells
prayer.
rung out a beautiful, melodious tune unlike the townspeople had ever heard be' fore.
Rich men who brought gold and myrrh
paused and focused their eyes on the small
shabby-dressed boy who made the chapel
bells ring that Christmas Eve.

CHRISTMAS IN KUWAIT
By JOANN GIBBS
The first question asked of the two exchange students from Kuwait was '' How
is Christmas celebrated in your country."
It comes as a rude awakening to a normal
college girl when the answer is something
to the effect that there is no Christmas
celebrations in the homeland of these students.
The two students are Mohammad Al-Oj~iri • and Meshari Al:-Essa, and their
country is an independent Arab country on
the Arabian Peninsula . It covers 5,800
square miles and has a population of about
350,000 peop!e.

After further probing, the students stated
that there were some minor "Yuletide celebrations ·by the few Christians in the predominately Moslem country.
A third student from Kuwait, Jasim AlQinae joined the group and the discussion
turned to the Kuwait celebrations which
are similar to the Christian concept of
Christmas.
The Eade (or Happy Days) is celebrated
twice yearly. The first Eade is preceded
by a month of fasting which begins around
Dec. 2. In January the celebration starts,
lasting for three days. During these three
days there is feasting and socializing with
friends and neighbors.
The second Eade is for another three
days in May and is repeative of the festivities of the first but without the fast
preceding it.

MAY

ASK?.

You asked me the true meaning of Christmas. May I ask--Does Christmas mean this
to you'?
Concern for those less fortunate than you
Helping hands . to rid others of the blues
Reflection on the first Christmas is due.
Interest in a world full of sin and hate
Sharing love before it is too late
Tolerance toward others in every state
Mercy ·shown to all mankind
Apologetic for failures brought to mind
Serving others, true joy you will find.
