idea of CHOICE 68 is excellent, and (I)
will be anxious to see the results.''
Locally, Dr. Dale Parnell said he thought
LCC's students should take a "very active
interest in the political arena," locally,
regionally, and nationally.
Of the referendum questions, two deal with
the country's current involvement in Viet
Nam, and one with the priorities of government spending in confronting the ''urban
crisis." Even with the President's ,announcement March 31, the CHOICE 68
philosophy remains the same; that is, it
is designed to see who and what students
would like, rather than "who can get in,"
according to Mike Fancher, a member of the
Board of Directors, and editor of the Oregon
Daily Emerald at the University of Oregon.
Strobe Talbott, past chairman of the
Yale (University) Daily News and a member
of the Board, feels that the Viet Nam referendum had to be "properly phrased towards alternative solutions," and indicated
that a simple "yes or no vote" would fail
• to register accurately the profundity of pro
and anti war sentiments on the campus.
To aid them in ensuring that the various
questions are properly pointed towards
achieying maximum impact and clearest
interpretation, the Board arranged to meet
with several top poll and survey experts.
' ' The politically conscious university students are potentially a very powerful force in
this country," said James Restonof the New

The meeting will be held in Room 23 on
the Eugene campus.
A question-answer period will follow.
"Refreshments will be served," said Gerry Hughet, president of the club.
The Baha'i Faith is an independent world
religion which has its central teaching
beliefs in the oneness of mankind, the oneness of God, and the fundamental oneness of
religion.
Members of the faith are currently celebrating their New year, which has evolved
from the Moselm calendar . Just as many
Christian traditions have evolved from the
Jewish faith, so have many Baha'i traditions evolved from the Moslem faith. One
of these .is the Baba' i year. Being the same

"Crude, tasteless, offensive." These adjectives were used in a letter to the editor
from Hugh Davis concerning a story published in the April Fool's issue of The
Torch. (See editorial page).
"Guide for the Unmarried Man" was
written by Gene Cogburn and printed along
with several other articles in an issue
published as a joke by the journalism
department.
Davis took exception to Cogburns's story
and wrote a letter to Charlotte Reece,
editor of The Torch, and to Dr. Parnell,
LCC's President, demanding that action
be taken against Cogburn. Davis also critisized The Torch for allowing an article
which he termed as, "crude, nearly obscene and completely unworthy of publication in any form" to be printed.
Wednesday, Media Board, as the publisher of the paper was requested by Dr.
Parnell to make a formal statement on
the article. The Media Board felt that
the worst that the article could be termed
was "tasteless in parts." It was felt that
this article could possibly be term,~d a
personal affront to Cogburn because of

previously displayed antagonism with Davis.
• Media Board passed a motion stating that
they found no m8rit to the charges (those
made by Davis) in the light that the article
was _printed in an April Fool's issue and
was stated in the issue that "Opinions
expressed are entirely false. No offense
is intended to anyone. 11 The Media Board
gave its complete support to the editor
who is entirely responsible for what is
printed in the college publication.--Joann

Sp ec ial ele cti on Ap ril 10

Last term LCC students elected Susan Friedemann to serve as ASB correspo nding secretar y
for 1968-69 . Now election s are going to be
held again Wednesd ay, April 10 to elect next
year's correspo nding secretar y and recordin g
secretar y.

LITTLE MAN

Of course, we realize that a new record i ng
secretar y needs to be elected because Pat Jacobs, recordin g secreta ry-elec t, quit school.
However , it seems that when a student was
elected to such a position by her fellow students, the Student Senate should . not be able
to come along one month later and say she was
unquali fied to run. If she was unquali fied to
run, this should have been discover ed before
the March election .
The ASB constitu tion is partly at fault because under qualific ations for officer s, it
states a candida te for office must be a fulltime student. But no one on Senate has specifically said whether ~andida tes must be .fulltime student when they are elected , or whether
they can be full-tim e students after they are
elected .
There probably shouldn 't be any problem next
Wednesd ay, because if the st'udent s elected a
person once, they should elect her again. After all, it's only a mere formali ty, because
all the candida tes running this time are qualified.-- The editors .

Trash

print ed

Dear Miss Reece:
I write in reference to your April 1
issue in which appeared a piece of trash
concocted by Gene Cogburn. The "Guide
for the Unmarried Man" departs completely
from the tone of the paper which I assumed
was intended to be farcial in nature. It
is crude, nearly obscene and completely
unworthy of publication in any form. I
strongly suspect the merit of your efforts,
considering the fact that the school grants
you free tuition for being editor, when you
allow such trival to appear in the school
paper under your authority as editor. How
you authorize anything like Cogburn's immaturity to appear under the guise of college journalism is beyond my comprehension. It shames me to have been a member
of your staff when I think that you might
permit writing of this level to appear before
your reading public.
Now addressing myself to Mr. Cogburn, I
congratulate you on keeping with the spirit
of April Fool's Dav as no one but a fool
could have presumed that what you have
written is garbage. I would caution you on
presenting your journalistic efforts to your
dates for appraisal or you would indeed remain unmarried. I would not oppose any
chastisement, physical or otherwise, they
might impose upon you. Since your dregs
have already been subjected to the eyes of
faithful Torch readers, I have no recourse
but to demand your letter of apology in the
next appropriate issue. If such a letter is
not forthcoming, I shall ask the Student
Senate and the president's office to seek your
dismissal from the staff of The Torch.
Most sincerely yours,
Hugh Davis

Q: WE HEAR THERE'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE REORGANIZATION GOING ON
INSIDE LCC. WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
)

A: The college is always trying to improve the quality of instruction. Teaching,
after all, is the reason for LC C's existence.
One means of strengthening instruction is
to improve the quality of helpful supevision
for teachers.
Presently, LCC has nine teaching divisions, some of them with more than two dozen teachers. It's difficult for division chairmen to supervise closely and to have
college-level, depth knowledge in all the
varied disciplines which they supervise. Obviously, it's difficult for a specialist in one
field to suggest to a specialist in a different
field how best to teach his specialty.
To overcome problems like this, the
Board of Education has approved a plan,
starting next fall, for dividing the present
nine divisions into 21 smaller departments.
This will make it possible for a master
teacher to head each department, with his
primary assignment teaching rather than
administration. It will be possible for him
to have a depth understanding ofthe subjects
taught in his department and therefore to
share a commonality of interests with his
teachers. We believe the students will profit greatly from this reorganization.
Departments next fall will include: Business, Electronics Data Processing, Electronics, Fine and Applied Arts, Performing
Arts; Health and Physical Education, Industrial Technology, English and Foreign Language, Mathematics, Mass Communications Mee hanics -Trans po rt anon anu 11.e ruspac~, Nursing, Paradental and Paramedical,· Science, Social Sciences, Home

LBJ Speaks To Choice 68

WASHINGTON, (AP)--President Johnson
said last month that, despite the Communist offensive in Vietnam, his San Antonio
Formula offer for ·peace talks still stands
and "we would meet them tomorrow."
Johnson discussed Vietnam, dissent at
home and unrest in the cities -in a wideranging 75-minute question and answer
session with a group of 11 college students.
Johnson said that, in seeking peace in
Vietnam 1 ''we have gone just as far as de- .
;:!ent and honorable people can go."
But he said he stands behind his' 1967
offer to halt the bombing of North Vietnam
and talk promptly if the Communists indicated this would be productive.
But, addressing the Communists in effect, he added: ''We don't want you to take
advantage like you did during the Tet"
(Lunar New Year).
If Hanoi is interested, Johnson said, it
wouldn't have to change a "could" to a
"will" or indulge in any other semantical
niceties ·in stating its position.
The college students who met with Johnson in the White House ·living quarters
were members of the National Board of
Choice 68, a national collegiate presidential preference primary to be held on more
than 1000 campuses April 24.
In the balloting, students not only will
pick their choice for the presidency but
will express themselves on referenda issues
including Vietnam and the urban crisis.
Johnson was asked how he felt about antiwar sentim?nt and demonstrations on college campuses.
' ' They sadden me, they trouble me, I think
because I know how they feel,'' the President
replied.
He said it would be a "very unusual student" who wouldn't be concerned, who
wouldn't seek alternatives, who wouldn't
want to see the war ended as quickly as possible, who wouldn't want to face death on the .
battlefield.
While reading a cable from Vietnam in
his lim::msine, Johnson said, he could not ·
help reflecting that Robb (son-in-law, Ma~- .
ine Capt. Charles S. Robb) is due for assignment there next month and, he said, "I
had no trouhle understanding at all." .
He said he is concerned not only about
Robb but about all Americans in uniform.
The chief executive conceded that a lot
of students ''think there is a better way out
than what we're doing."
Arguing with considerable emotion for his
policies, Johnson said:
"You can't run a war by polls and you
can't be oblivious to puplic opinion."

The Torch is going to publish a special
Bridal Issue on April 18. If you areengaged or planning to marry within the
near future and would like to have it
announced, or reannounced, at this time,
fill out the form below.

The first question put to Johnson was
whether he thought it would be possible to
avert another round of urban riots this
summer.
"I don:'t think you can avert bad sum- . •
mer , " he said. "We'll have a bad ,,summer.
We'll have several bad summers.
He said the mistakes of centuries cannot
be undone overnight but he expressed hope
Congress would deal kindly w~th his le~is- •
lative proposals aimed at easmg the plight
of city dwellers.
On the subject close to Choice 68, which
is being financed by Time Magazine, Johnson said he doesn't believe in complusion
but if he did, he would compel voting.
He said, "I think you'd have a better
government and I think we'd have IJ!.Ore
Democrats."
He cited statistics that only about half
of the eligib~ young people vote whereas
three-quarters of older citizens v ~ .
Declaring this to be most unfortunate, he
said the young should vote in greater num-.
bers because they are "more adventurous •
people.''

Johnson said that if some kind of meter
could be devised to measure human feeling
and were installed in a National Security
Council meeting, and if the council members were asked if they wanted peace in
Vietnam, he would be ''that needle would
swing around farther than at Berkeley or
Texas of Harvard."
He said he is convinced that the council
members are working harder for peace than
the people on the campuses he cited.
"I don't know how to do anything better
than we are doing," he said. "If there were,
I would do it."
Johnson declared that as a college newspaper editor "I was protesting nearly 8Very.
.
thng around me."
He said he began by protestmg against
some of the policies of the college president and wound up protesting against the
President of the United States.--"that was
when Hoover was president."
•
He said he believes young people are always in the advance guard in expressing
their opinion and that this "causes people
to stop, look, listen, evaluate."

Memorization not enough
By

SSC

is necessary. Dates in history, formulas in
physics, definitions in math, selection of
poetry--all may require memorization. But
memorize them only after you've understood why they should be as they are.
There seems to be three different types
of memories: visual, auditory and olfactory.
Most people (about 90 percent) have visual
memories. They remember pictures better
than sounds. If you have a visual memory,
use it. For instance, if you have to remember a long series of items, think of a picture you can associate with each item
(the sillier the better), then tie all the
pictures into a single big picture and just
remember that. On a test, it'll be easy to
"decode" the picture.
You may have an auditory memory. (If
you're musically inclined, you'll probably
be an "audiophile.") For you, the best way
to memorize is in singsong, repetitive patterns--the more tuneful the better.
Another good way that seems to work
equally well for both types of memories is
to make nonsense words from the first letter of each item to be memorized.
A few people remember odors more
easily than they remember sounds or pictures. Despite modern research with perfumed texts, no sure-fire memorization
technique for the "odorophiles" has been
dis cove red.
No matter what type you are, save the
memorization until shortly before a test;
it's the only way you can be sure it'll
stick.

Do' you know what the capital of Kentucky is? What was the date of the First
Continental Congress? Name the different
kinds of algae. What is the precise formulation of Charles's Law?
If you had the answer to those questions on
the tip of your tongue, don't bother to read
any further. You already know how to memorize. But if you couldn't answer them all,
here's why.
At one time in your schooling, you had to
memorize the capitals of the states. You
probably remembered them too--until the
test was over.
What happened was that you formed a kind
9f •aervous '' rut" in your brain between
say, Kentucky and Frankfort. On the t~st,
when the teacher said "Kentucky,: a httle
bell would connect Kentucky with Frankfort--and you'd get an A on your test.
But once the test was over, you didn't
use the rut any more and it gradually disappeared. That's why you didn't know it
today. Because memorizing works over a
short period of time, but it doesn't st_ick.
So never be satisfied with memorization without understanding. If you understand something, it'll stick' it becomes
part of you. Straight memorizing doesn't

Working behind the scenes this year, often
until 6 p. m. every other Thursday, has been
LCC's Student Senate.
Several changes have been made and
others are in the process of changing.
The name Student Senate was chosen at
the beginning of the year instead of Student
Council.
Under Larry Barker, ASB first vice-president, the constitutional revision committee has come up with several changes which
will strengthen the constitution.
Leon Lindsay has served as the 1967-68
ASB president. Besides Barker as first
v.p., GiGi Gamble served as second vicepresident, Judy Ray as recording secretary,
Barbara Bronson as corresponding secretary and Bob Adams as treasurer.
Gary McNabb, Oregon State Community
College Association president and Patti
Bauman, OSCCSA president, are also members of the Senate.
During the last three weeks of Spring
Term, all new officers elected for next
year and all current Senate m:!mbers will
have voting privileges. Marsh Johnson will
serve as the 1968-69 ASB president.

behind with a score of 7.1. Lyons was consistently over the 7.0 mark in almost all
events.

Bill Gott, competing in his first organized
weight lifting meet, came away with the
'' strongest man" title in the Winter Term
weight lifting meet. Gott won the title with
a 20-pound margin over Jim Wade and Don
Callis. His winning press was at the 240
pound mark.
Jim Steele won the "best lifter" championship with a composite score of 417 .84.
Steele was the o-nly lifter to break the 400
point mark in the meet. Steele's mark was
a new school record for his weight. Two
other LCC students broke school records
during the meet. Ray Hetlage and Rick
Little entered the record books with 393.98
and 388.36 points respectively. The two
lifters finished right behind Steele in the
"best lifter" rankings.
In team competition the 8 a.m. class took
the title by a wide margin, racking up 49
total points, and three first places in the
separate weight divisions. The 4 p.m.
class took second with 26 points. The 4
p.m. class, however, failed to register a
first place.
In determining the champions for weight
categories the point total is determined
by the lifters' own weight in relationship
to the am:>unt of weight he is lifting. It
is through this scoring method, an AAU
official method, that allows a lighter lifter
such as Steele to win the "best lifter"
title with a lift of 210 pounds, while a
bigger lifter such as Gott may lift 240
pounds, and still finish in eight place in
the "best lifter" standings.
. Absent from the meet was defending
champion Doyle Kenady, who was sidelined by an ankle injury.

MEMBER
AMERICAN
GEM SOCIETY

By GEORGE SKEIE

OF

MEANIN G
AGS

In our advertising and on our store·
window, no doubt many of you have
observed a small oval emblem with
"AGS" inscrtbed on it. This signifies membership in the American
Gem Society--an organization of
professional jewelers devoted to the
up-grading of the jewelry industry.
There are only slightly over a thousand retail jewelers in this country
who are eligible to maintain membership in the Society. "AGS" associated with a jeweler is like
"C. P.A." follow~ng an accountant's
name.
First of all, it is necessary for the
retail jeweler to prove professional
training in gemology. This means the
study of diamonds in all phases, proper gem identification and the modern methods of merchandising fine
jewelry. Combined with this, is a
proven record of the highest business ethics and integrity in selling,
and an attractive store in keeping
with the American Gem . Society
standards.
Naturally, SKEIE'S Jewelers is
proud to display the American Gem
Society emblem, and we strive very
hard to live up to all the Rulings
of the Society, as well as the FTC
and Better Business Bureau regulations which are also mandatory for
all Society members. We fell that
AGS affiliation is one additional service that we can provide our customers, and is another good reason
why you can shop with confidence
in our store.
