ASB elections
due March l

LCC Student Body elections will be held
March 1. Campaigning will begin no earlier
than Feb. 1. That's the word received from
the student senate this week.
Positions open will be president, first
vice-president, second vice-president, recording secretary, corresponding secte_tary, and treasurer. Senators from each
curricular division will also be elected.
To be a candidate for office, a student
must be enrolled full-time (9 or more
hours, have and maintain an accumulated
minimum grade point average of 2.00 and
have completed two academic terms prior
to his proposed tenure in office. He must
have sophomore standing of 36 or more
credit hours.
Any LCC student may run for office. To
file for office a petition signed by 50 qualified members must be presented to an
ASB officer. The Board of Tellers will
examine qualifications of the candidate and
declare them eligible prior to the election.
This year's student senate will serve
through the last meeting of Spring Term.
However, the newly elected officers will
begin their tenure of office the last three
meetings of Spring Term. The newly elected officers will conduct the three meetings with all officers (new and old) voting.
Qualifications for a senator are the same
as for officers. He must also be in attendance in at least two classes from the
division he wishes to represent.
Bob Adams, ASB treasurer, was appointed
by Leon Lindsay, ASB president, to be in
charge of arranging the elections.

Folk music and folklore were the themes
of LCC's third convocation Wednesday as
Barre Toelken, gave his presentation of
a true, though little known form of literature. Dr. Toelken, assistant professor of
English at the University ol Oregon, spoke
and sang of folk literature to an audience of
approximately 150 people in the gym on the
Bethel campus.
To consider folk music as literature
seems odd until one hears Dr. Toelken
relate its background, purpose and method.
Writers are limited to literate audiences
while folk music reaches the ears and eyes.

England, the Ozarks, Oklahoma and the
Northwest, Toelken expressed the feeling

THE

T6RCH

Most of us are eager to put our should ers to
the load after our brief vacati on. It is about time the Campus Planni ng Comm ittee should
start to work on their commi ttee respo nsibil ities; becaus e, consid ering what they'v e done
toward progre ssive campus planni ng, they could
just as well have been on vatati on throug h
Fall Term.
The few feeble sugge stions the commi ttee has
entert ained can hardly justif y the hard, diligent work and grueli ng conce ntratio n initia ted
by each and every one of our very fine CP committee membe rs. Each has his own spectru m of
respo nsibil ities and is dedica ted -to the progressiv e goals of the CPC. So why don't they
get the lead out and get some twenti eth century ~ames for a twenti eth centur y campus ?
I'm not saying they have done nothin g. Last
month they presen ted a couple of sugge stions
worthy of Walt Disney or Barnum and Baily productio ns, featur ing a "Crack er Barre ll" snack
shack and a "Gene ral Store. " Not many students would appre ciate this type of intell ectual toylan d atmosp here.
Seriou sly, they are workin g hard to accomp lish a task for which they have no answe r. It
is a little like perfor ming Calcul us with an
Arithm etic backgr ound.
Their ideas are exhau sted. Maybe what they
need is to do some extra- curric ular resear ch
on the subjec t. They need some fresh ideas on
which to build; those ideas could come from
the minds of Lane's studen ts, who perhap s,
don't have anythi ng to say on the matter until

on their children or grandchildren to go to
school and get an education, but they hardly ever say go to school and learn something.

To the Editor:

As an "outside " member of The Torch
staff, I indeed sym[Jathize with you in your
problems in getting out The Torch.
Partly due to new equipment, this year's
paper is a big improvement over last year's.
But it's too bad that there isn't m,or~ interest in the student newspaper. I am amazed at the small number of students who
even express an interest in their newspaper.
Out of the some 2900 students attending
LCC surely there must be a few that care
about a student publication. In my high
school, which has about 270 students, there
were more people working on the newspaper
and annual than have been at LCC.
This term started off well; there were 15
people in the Reporting I class and counting
those in the lab, a total of 23 people have
at least indicated they would like to work on
the paper. If this first week is an example
of their interest, journalis m is a dying
field and The Torch has one foot in the
grave. Copy deadlines seem to mean nothing to reporter s. They may be first term
reporter s, but ignorance is no excuse, even
if it is the only one. I am giving some of
them credit for trying, but I have never
seen a bunch of people m::ire afraid to w,rite
than som,? of the 23 on the staff, You learn
by doing and the only way you will learn to
write is to write. I always thought people
liked to see their names in print. They
were given beats to cover and a simple
assignment to collect IO names and answers
to Â· a question for a symposium. Six people
turned in the latter. The last I heard, people weren't biting, kicking or even acting
vicious when someone tries to m1ke conversation. If this is an indication of the
percentage of people who are willing to
work for and on the paper, it's no wonder
everyone gripes about what's in it. The
editor is responsible for the paper, but
the staff is responsible to the editor for
the contents in the paper and the quality
of it. If the few, and I do mean few, people
who put out the paper last term were to
suddenly drop out of the picture, what would
the present staff do to carry on? Probably
nothing, because they simply don't care, and
if they do, they sure aren't showing it. It
can't be left up to the editor to cover up
for his staff when they don't pull through.
There is a lot of controve rsy about switching sizes of the paper. I agree that the met
size has prestige and is unique, but it is
definitel y too mÂ·Jch to put out when there
aren't enough pairs of hands around to do
the lay-out, paste-up and write headlines.
It's tim9-consuming and nobody has that
much time to give by himself. The tabsize may be just another stereotype compared to other college newspapers, but it
is easier to put out when there's no one
around to do the work. If we hadn't switched
from tab to met size in the first place,
no one would have even thought about complaining about the small paper.
On the other hand, if we had originall y
had the met size last year and then switched to tab, someone would probably be discontent with that too. Until there are enough
people to put out a m0t-sized paper without having two or three people spend half
the night on Wednesday finishing it, it would
be stupid to go back to the large paper. It
has its advantages, but try offering a m9tpage to a reporter to lay out or write a
feature and get the pictures for, and watch
him run the other way.
Once they attempt to write and cover
the assignm,?nts, it isn't half as bad as
they thought it was going to be. But they are
the ones who make Wednesday deadlines
practica lly impossible because they did not
m,?et their earlier deadline.
Nobody will reach out and slap your hand
if you goof. Someone else probably already made the same mistake and they
managed to survive. If your constitution is
so weak you're afraid you won't live through
mistakes, take up basket weaving. If you're
good, you can sell them on the street corner.
The only way to make the newspaper
worthwhile and for anyone to benefit from
it is for everyone to work together and
take the bad in stride with the good. The
paper can be only as good as its staff;
they make the paper what it is.

MDTA provides
scholarships

Q: I'VE MET PEOPLE AT LCc WnU SAY

THEY' RE GETTING THEIR TRAINING
FREE BECAUSE THEY'RE MOTA STUDENTS. HOW CAN I GET ONE OF THESE
SCHOLARSHIPS?

A: The "MDTA" designation is applied
to those students whose educational expenses are being underwritten through the federal Manpower Development Training Act.
Through this Act, Congress provides
"scholarships" for persons unable to obtain appropriateÂ·full-time employment without some kind of additional training.
Priority for selection goes to unemployed workers, underemployed workers who
are working below their skill capacity or
substantially less than full-time, workers
who are unemployed because their skills
have or will become obsolete, or disadvantaged youths 16-21 who are out of school
and in need of occupational training. Actual
acceptance into one of the courses must
be initiated and approved by the Oregon
State Employment Service, which also helps
graduates find jobs after they complete
the course. People to see at the Employment Office, 688 Pearl St., Eugene, are
Douglas Cline or Ivan Midlam.
In cooperation with the Employment Service, LCC sets up MOTA courses from
time to time, as students and funds are
available, in a number of occupational
fields. Training is available for: Bookkeepers, Building Maintenance Men, Clerk
Stenographers, Fry Cooks, Clerk Typists,
and Welders.
Length of the courses varies from six
to 30 weeks. Some individuals are enrolled
in other programs on individual referral
from the Employment Service. Present
MDTA enrollment is about 70; this is expected to swefI to 200 in February,
Students who believe they might be eligible for this program may contact MOTA
Director Bob Marshall at the Eugene campus for further information (Ext. 50).

True, teachers had to get used to reporters
charging through the doors ignorant to the
fact that a class was gt1ing on. But reporters had to figure out how to jump gracefully off the stage into a class of sweating
basketball players who thoughtfully moved
the stairs to the other side of the gym.
Newspaper staffs are sometimes unique,
like cur.iosity seekers. Who else shows up
for Monday's classes on Tuesday? Who else
has sandwiches with tuna fish on both sides
and egg in the middle? Who else eats bard
boiled eggs by carefully breaking them in
two, taking the yolk out and eating both ends
in two bites?
Winter Term has just gotten underway and The Torch staff has -a
crew of new reporters. Time will. 'tell 'if
they will sink or swim in this reporting
world. Little did they know that they were
entering the world of pink dots when they
signed up for journalism: pink dots in
jacket pockets, pink dots on the floor
pink dots 'i n little boxes, pink dots scat~
tered around the halls, and pink dots
littering the bottom of the bird cage . . .

Like most newspaper offices, there are
bad days and good ones. Our week runs
from Wednesday to Wednesday. Deadlines
and constant pressure are common-place.
Monday is copy and advertising deadline.
Tuesday is spent setting copy on the justowriters and starting to lay out pages. Wednesday is the day The Torch goes to the
Springfield News, so everything that hasn't
been done, like pictures, late copy, corrections, proofreading, gets done no matter
how late the hour. Thursday is when everyone waits until the circulation mai;iager ends
up at Bethel carrying a green box and the
left-over papers. Only then do all the misspelled words stick out like sore thumbs,
you realize that somebody fo_rgot to paste
down a cutline and two pictures got switched.
On Friday, next week's paper is beginning
to emerge and the process starts over.
Curiosity seekers occasionally make
their appearance upon the doorstep. Â·Some
of them fall up the stairs, others ask, "Is
that a typewriter?", and a few timid souls
just walk around, and then leave, falling
down the stairs this time.
No other place in school do you wander
through gymnastic classes, flying birdies
and swinging badminton racquets, Tennessee wigwalking folk dancers, and first aid
classes sprawled all over the floor wrapping each other in large white bandages.

High above the rumble of bouncing basketballs and the pulsating throb of folk dancing music lies a little atcove in the world
of journalism. To reach this high spot, one
must come in the main doors on the Bethel
campus, go down either hall and into the
gym, ignoring the sign that says "Don't
Cut Through, Use Hall." Go across the gym
floor, onto the stage, and to the left is a
door marked Women Only. But if you look
more closely, there are two smaller signs
stating the fact that you are about to enter
The Torch and The Titan office.
Go up the stairs, and there, among the
ruins of 23 staff members, (this term),
Snoopy and his kite, one lone advisor who
resolved this year to spend even less
time up there, a secretary who eats cranberries, a darkroom technician who crunches .peanut shells on the floor, a master
and a slave (more commonly known as
justowriters), a headline machine, typewriters, advertising materials, light tables,
cameras, photographs and negatives, a
darkroom with smelly chemicals, a telephone that brings a sudden hush to the room
when it rings, and allthe rest of the paraphernalia required to put out a newspaper,
is The Torch office. The four or eight pages

Featured this week is a little known, sometimes misunderstood physical education course available to both men and women at Lane Conununity College. Mrs. Carol Brubaker, instructor, evinces great enthusiasm for the course--Folk Dance-and encourages students of all ages to enroll.
Because of its social connotation, some students have enÂ· tered the folk dancing class thinking it was "easy". Others
have stayed out for the same reason. From personal experience â€¢ I can report that I have never completed a P.E. class
which required as much physical exertion .
Additional objectives besides exercise include: "developing
efficient use of the body through coordination, speed, agilgrace;
ity, balance, endurance (emphasis on endurance) and
developing desirable social attitudes; developing an understanding and respect for one's national or ethnic heritage
â€¢
and for that of other people."
Dances taught originated not only in America, but also in
Serbia, Russia, Rumania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Czechslovakia and Israel.
.. ~ N
I especially reconunend Folk Dance to those students who are
. TT~
a little trouble getting acquainted in school due to
having
\'!'\
\\ shyness. You just don't have time for self-consciousn ess
while being dragged through a circle dance at 90 M.P.H .. So
come on you "guys" and "gals" who usually just Â·" look on" at a
\~ ~
.dance, join Folk Dance and I guarantee you'll enjoy participating in this one. --Alice Thorn

By Â· DONALD

OWNBEY

It is very easy for the math student to

take course after course and never look
at a m-ath book other than his text. If you
happen to be taking a math class and have
a belief that you need only one book, then
this article is written for you. There are
quite a few books in the Springfield and
Bethel libraries written for those who like
mathematics and have a desire to understand it.
Jim Snow has recommended four books
on math which are to be found in the Springfield library and which he thinks might prove
worthwhile reading for LCC math students.
George Polya's book, How to Solve It, is for
the person who will " enjoy the triumph of
discovery." It is an interesting approach
to the study of problem solving. Basic
Mathematics for General Education by Harold C. Trimble and others is aimed at
giving the nonmathetical person insight into
the world of mathematics by iihowing how
mathematics is really an exten-Sion of language and how it can be put to work.
Another basic book which might be of interest to those who have difficulities understanding is Teaching Mathematics in the
Elementary School by Clyde Corle. What

Torch to

critique d

With the addition of almost two dozen
reporters this term, The Toren. is going
to try something different.
On Thursday afternoons, after The Torch
is delivered, the staff will meet at 3 p. m.
to critique the current issue. Although
attendance is not required, Larry Romine,
Torch advisor, said , "I hope it doesn't
turn out to be a discussion between the
editor and myself."
Writing, make-up, headlines, pictures,
paste-up, printing and ads w.ill be the
major topics discussed.
If you have any suggestions or complaints
feel free to attend the m<2eting. Anyone is
invited.

Worksh op in
drama~ offered

Drama and Theater Workshop is a new
class starting this term at Lane. Taught
by Mrs. Virginia DeChaine, the class carries college transfer credit.
The class is an experiment in practical
drama. The class members are helping to
formulate their own curricula, whch includes elements of acting, some one-act
plays, some television plays and general
communication.
"If the plays go well, we might act before closed circuit TV, and some of the
students will try to produce their own,
original plays," said Mrs. DeChaine, who
did her undergraduate work in drama from
the University of Oregon. She has a Master of Arts degree in television from the
u of 0.
Mrs. DeChaine taught speech at Lane
last year. --Jerry Foster

better book for getting a basic knowledge
of math than one aimed at those who are
learning to teach basic mathematics? For
those who are taking algebra, Algebra
with Applications to Business and Economics by Paul Daus is excellent for introductory college algebra courses. It emphasizes the development of understanding
basic concepts and is recommended for
those with the average high school background in math.
Howa'rd Zink chose six books from the
Bethel library recommended for the math
student. An older book which gives a very
good treatment of the history of mathematics is E. R. Bell's, The Developmont of
Mathematics. Tobias Dantzig wrote Number, the Language of Science, which tells
about the evolution of modern number
concepts for the 11 cultured nonmathematician." This book is often found on booklists for mathematics and is highly recommended. It begins with finger symbols used
to represent numbers and goes on to discuss various mathematical topics. The
Nature of Number by Roy Dubisch is written for those who want an over-all view
of what modern mathem1tics is all about.
It contains such interesting chapters as
"Writing numbers from one to a googol"
and "God made the integers" and "The
Great i solves it all."
The Gentle Art of Mathematics by Dan
Pedoe is one of those books about math
that almost anyone, mathematically inclined or not, would enjoy. It contains
puzzles and games but describes in a lively
m-anner the highlights of modern math and
helps to build a good basic understanding
of math. One of the better books on the
development of mathematics from Euclid
to today is Mathematics, Queen and Servant of Science by the already-mentioned
Mr. Bell. It contains information on the
great mathematicians, their personalities,
their philosophies and resumes of their
contributions as well as other topics such
as infinity.
The last book recommended by Zink is
worth special mention. The Education of
T.C. Mits by Lillian R. Lieber contains
humor in an enlightening and delightful
and unusual approach. It is a poetic approach to what m')dern mathematics means
to you. The approach that this book takes
to such things as the triangle will probably
be found nowhere else.
There are ten math books mentioned in
this column. If you don't see one of interest
to you, perhaps the next one of the shelf
will be.

Kl CC broadc asts 14 hours

KLCC is broadcasting from 7:30 a.m. to
9:30 p.m. this term, Monday through Fri-

day. Last term, KLCC radio stayed on the
air from 4:40 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on a trial
basis.
Now operating fourteen hours a day, nighttime Program Director, Harvey Dolan, said,
"We'd like to continue operation into the
night-time hours for the rest of the school
hours, advised
year." The night-time
by Jim Brock, are primarily manned by second year broadcasting students although
three first year students have programs.
Dolan continued, "There's pretty much
a continual flow of music from 4:30 a.m.
to 9:30 p.m., except for a five minute
newscast concerning LCC at 7 p.m., and a
'study break' every half hour or so. The ,
'study breaks' are up-beat selections intended to help the student take his mind off
his work, it also gives him time to grab a
sandwich and a glass of milk. We try to
encourage a study atmosphere with a relatively soft and smooth transition beween records and , not to<; muchfemphasis
.
on announcing each one."
The kind of music featured is soft and
relaxing, but with a beat. "Our intention
is to keep the student's mind on his studies,
not the music; but it's not meant to put
anyone to sleep, either," added Dolan.
A listener would hear a lot of Percy Faith,
Ray Conniff, Ed Ames, Living Strings and
Voices, Marilyn Maye, and many others
presenting what some call "chicken rock"
or what CBS calls "Music For Young
Adults." The mâ€¢Jsic is contemporary, it is

Band needs lour
more members

The LCC band m9ets on Thursday nights
from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in Room 87 on
the Bethel campus. Anyone interested in
playing is invited to attend. Director Bob
Norman says, "If we had one or two more
trombone players, another saxophone and
trumpet player, we would have a full stage
band."

KLCC audience
numbers l00,000

At the present, KLCC has a potential
listening audience of about 100,000 people,
between Eugene-Springfield and Coburg,
Junction City, and Harrisburg.
KLCC's signal is restricted to the south
by Blanton Hills. Next year, KLCC's tower
will be on Blanton Heights which will enable the station to be heard in the Creswell-Lorraine area, which will double the
ptoential listening audience at 90.3 me.
Program Director Harvey Dolan also
mentioned that all cards, letters, or phone
calls concerning the programming, the quality, the public service, or just general
comments are more than welcome. Address to' Harvey Dolan, KLCC Radio,

TheÂ· publication processes of The Torch,
the sales campaign of The Titan, and the
possibilities of a fine arts publication
were items discussed at the January session of\Media Boarct-held )an. 3. i
The Torch editor, Charlotte Reece, explained to the Board the weekly procedures
for putting out the paper. She explained
the assignment of news beats and the gathering of current information for news stories. The question of editorial policy was
brought up. Miss Reece felt that the paper
should establish a stronger policy on current issues prevalent to LCC. The possibility of an editorial board being established for the purpose of making editorial
decisions was discussed.
Debbie Jo Briggs, Titan Editor, presented
the figures of Titan sales to the Media
Board. Approximately 50 annuals for the
1967-68 school year have been pre-ordered,
according to Miss Briggs. The Media Board
along with The Titan staff must make a final
decision as to the number of yearbooks to
order from the publisher before Jan. 15.
The sales campaign has been under way during Winter Term registration and will continue throughout Winter and Spring Terms.
The Media Board approved establishment
of a Fine Arts Publication. This publication
Â·would include photos taken by LCC;sphotography classes and art work from the Fine
Arts division. It would be financed and
supervised through the Office of Instruction
during the 1967-68 school year,- with possibilities for student body supervision and
support during future years. It must be
approved by the Dean of Instruction. --Joann

Basket ball regulat io,is

Approximately 35 LCC male students attended an organizational meeting for Intramural Basketball Monday evening Jan. 8 at
Springfield High School. Representatives
from a majority of the eight districts were
present, but only Springfield had definitely
planned for both A and B league teams.
. Due to the lack of a sizeable turnout
at the meeting a schedule was drawn up -for
only the f_irst week of the season. The turnout at these games will determine whether
or not the program will continue on its
present course or be altered. Obtaining the
greatest amount of participation will be the
determining factor in scheduling for the
remainder of the season according to intramural director Mel Krause.
The schedule for the first week is:

From the health and physical education
division come these regulations which are
designed to benefit the participants and the
administration of intramural basketball .
Strict adherence to these regulations will
mean more enjoyment for all concerned.
REGULATIONS:

1. Games are to be played at Springfield
lfigh School and will begin at 7:15 p.m. and
8:30 p.m. on the dates indicated.
