Ken ned y ioin s Har per tick et

E~e-ht o'clock seemed too early for curious Eugenians as presidential aspirant
Robert Kennedy began a hard night's day of
campaigning in Lane County.
After breakfast with local Democratic
leaders, the Kennedy motorcade--including
several cars and two Greyhound buses loaded with members of the press--started
thirty minutes late for a Weyerhaeuser logging site. That delay plus the extra time
taken in travel to the logging site cost LCC's
new campus site its scheduled visitation.
Kennedy didn't say anything at the logging
site. The loggers payed little attention to
the senator or the 60-odd newsmen scampering about; they just kept on working.
Next stop was Mark's Big M Shopping
Center adjoining the Springfield campus.
KVAL newsman Wayne Whitehead hoped
there wouldn't be too many people at Mark's
(large crowds make a newsman's job more
difficult). As the press bus pulled across
the tracks and into view of a sea of about
700 excited townspeople and students
Whitehead
milling around a platform_.
uttered a hopeless groan, "Oh God!"

Steve Harper, LCC broadcasting freshman, stood near the platform holding a sign.
Kennedy remarked "There's a person with
a sign that says 'Make Springfield your
home;' that's a very nice sign." He mentioned that Springfield would be a nice
place to live.
Kennedy said about the same thing at
every stop, asking for help, then lauding
the importance of Oregon's up-coming primary.
The bushy-haired senator said, "Oregon
has a fine education system but it can be
improved. Thirty million dollars," he said,
are being spent in Viet Nam that "could be
applied toward education."
The something less than enthusiastic
crowd applauded occasionally, like when
he promised--if elected--to get the thief
who robbed Mark's Big M of $31,000 last
week.
As Kennedy was leaving, Steve Harper
shouted at him asking if he (Kennedy)
would like to run on the same ticket with
him (Harper). Harper was not available
for comment concerning Kennedy's reply.

After several false starts the band and
choir has finally started on a trip. Gone
are the financial and transpor tation problem:; that cancelled two trips Winter Term.
The groups perform1~d at Mapleton this
morning and will appear with Southwestern
Community College in a joint concert at
Reedsport tonight at 8 p.m.
Terry Nousen, feature soloist, will sing
"Deep Purple," and Don Callis, on trumpet,
will accompany the choir in a rendition of
''Reconcilliation. ''
Choir members include Florence Neuschwander, Freda Jam~s, Pat Clifton, Joyce

Foste r new

Jerry Foster was nominated by Media
Board as editor of The Torch for the
1968-69 school year.
At a specially called meeting Wednesday,
three applicants were interviewed. The
applicants were Eugene Cogburn, Jerry
Foster and Thomas Getty.
Foster, 20, was chosen over the other
two on the basis of applications received
and on the personal interviews.
Foster is a 1967 graduate of Vale Union
High School. He is a freshman, majoring
in journalism. He plans to eventually go

Accre ditati on chief visits

Dr. Frederick Giles, chairman of the
committee to evaluate the college for accreditation, recently visited LCC.
He met with several administrators and
discussed accreditation and various aspects
•
of the college operation.
The Self Study Steering Committee gave
their report to Dr. Giles Monday. He was
pleased with the rough draft but had several good ideas for improvement.
Dr. Giles, dean of the School of Education at the University of Washington,
is tl)e only dean in the United States with
a community college background. He was
president of Everett Junior College in·
Everett, Wash. for seven years prior to
accepting the University of Washington position.
President Dale Parnell and William Cox,
dean of business administration, took Dr.
Giles on a tour of the new campus.

into radio-broadcasting.
When asked if he thought he could be
a good editor, Foster said, "Yes, I'm
ambitious, eager, semi-intelligent , and
willing to learn and work."
In plans for improvement of the paper
Foster made several concrete suggestions.
He plans to have more stories of the
feature--man-on -the-street type. He also
plans more in-depth reporting. Foster has
plans for establishing an associate editor
position with e_stablished duties, and a
photo editor to help organize the photography department.
When Foster was asked about the most
important quality for an editor he said
that it was first, an outstanding writing
ability and second, an ability to lead and
represent people. Foster showed a definite
ability for both of these, according to Media
.
Board.
Media Board's decision was sent to Student Senate for ratification at their meeting
today.
The nomination was made in a closed
executive meeting. Three absentee votes
were accepted for the members who had
valid reasons for not attending the meeting.

the motorcade. A police officer pulled
his motorcycle out around the press bus
and was just about even with the truck's
rear-end when it turned right, across the
lane in front of the officer without any
indication. He swerved to the left to avoid
hitting the truck, said Quinn, and lost control. He zig-zagged down the road aways
before tipping over, then he slid down the
street about 10 or 15 feet--but what saved
him was his big fat ticket book. He slid

few voters before arriving at the Lane

Among the crowd were about 15 McCarthy
pickets, including a car, and about five Reagan pickets. One McCarthy picket curtly
said he represented no organization and
"if you don't mind, I'd like to hear the

The Reagan for President pickets were
heckled by parts of the crowd. "Reagan

Music was supplied at the Court House

The anti-Kennedy picket-packer who

the hotel Wednesday morning didn't appear
at the afternoon gathering.
Kennedy scrawled a few autographs on his
way to the hotel. He'll return next month for
a major address at the University.

New campus no solution

we're on the new campus next year."

How many times have you made that comment
when looking for the solution to . a problem?
Will the parking problem be solved when we
are all on one campus? Probably not, because
the board of education voted to eliminate one
parking lot altogether, and leave three of
the remaining four lots in gravel. So we'll
still have our little ."chuck" holes, mud puddles and drainage ditches to cope with.
What about the campus mail? How many times
have assignments, term papers and gene~al correspondence gotten lost between Springfield
and Eugene? (Sometimes it is quite amazing
how things do disappear, but we're not complaining about the service).
Communication will be helped because of one
campus, but then everyone will have to go
from building to building. They won't let
you go through the tunnels, so you'll still
be getting wet.
The biggest 'issue is intercollegiate sports
which will start next year. But can LCC move
to a new campus and start intercollegiate
sports on the right foot also?
It's true then that things may be better
when we all move to one campus, ·but LCC will
find that each year will bring new problems .
I am sure that next year will be no except i on.

less

To the Editor:
Congratulations! At last, I've found something worthwhile to read in The Torch.
Your creative writing section in last week's
paper was really great. Why not have more
of this type of material instead of the usual
"junk"?
J. Michael Shelley's writings were so
fluid with meaning that I think everyone
who read them had something to think
about.
I hope the future copies of The .Torch
are as pleasureable to read as last week's
was.

Honk horns
To the Editor:
Perhaps , if while crossing the Bethel
canal all drivers would profusely honk
their horns, the disruption of classes
would bring about enough pressure to get
the driveway replaced. Maybe if the professors had to drive through it, too, some
steps would be taken.
Or if we pass the hat and buy our coffee -drinking janitors a shovel, something
would be done. But I doubt it.

No art teachers?
To :i 1e Editor:
We live in an era that is characterized
by a technology that threatens to totally
outstrip our moral advancement. Expediency and conformity are the battlecrys of
tomorrow. The society we have created
has almost
become our Frankenstein,
who instead of being controlled by his creator, becam,= so powerful that he controlled.
Until the writing of this article, the students, faculty and staff of LCC have somehow
been spared this rush to expediency and
security. Our school has been typified by
our president who has often said, "If a thing
is worth doing at all, it's worth doing first
class." Our president has said, "At LCC we
intend to have an institution that is innoviative not immitative." Our president has
also said, "Before any major administrative decisions were made that directly involved students and faculty, they would be
first consulted." These mottos have recently begun to ring hollow. It is with a
great deal of personal sadness that I point
this out. I was belied. I thought these words
were more than words.
Democracy for me implies a freedom--a
real freedom of choice. When the possible
~.ternatives (academic, occupational, pol1hcal, etc.) which are available to a person
are reduced, his freedom of choice is reduced, and so is democracy. Even Russia
conducts elections.
The people that have comprised the staff
and faculty at LCC's art department have
exemplified the innovative approach to art
education. They are "working artists."
They have paint on their clothes. They have
clay under their fingernails. These people
have offered both theory and practicality in
their instruction, which seems to me to be
the true essence of education.
The administration has recently given
these people an opportunity to exercise
their freedom of choice. ~uit working as
a part-time artist and teach full-tim,~ or
resign. Dress like other instructors or resign. Accept the administration's choice
for division chairman or resign.
I can understand that lt is not politically
expedient to approach a budget election with
people on the faculty who "don't look like
other people." The presidency is probably
a very difficult position to be in, with no
financial base from which to support the ongoing processes of the school. The administration is forced to "go for broke" each
year. It just seems that out of the syndrome of "anti-property tax" that prevades
the entire country, and make budget elections the president's ulcerator, that the art
department of LCC must somehow end up
second class.
Michelangelo was ostracized during his
life. DaVinci wore dirty clothes, and learned
about the human body not from pictures,
but from models, dead and alive. Van Gogh
cut off his ear. None of these people were
abl~ to satisfy so many pe~ply's thirsts
for esthetic beauty by listening to "text
book artists."
. Can artists that will paint the feelings
and emotions of our complex generation
be developed in the atmosphere of a technical vocational art department? I say not!!
Can artists somehow spring up where practicality is not a part of the educational
mix? I say not!! Can artists know the true
beauty of the human form if they must learn
from education majors and their textbooks?
I say NOT!!

MEAN
LOVE

This year marks the 102th anniversary of the discovery of diamonds
in South Africa. While diamonds had
been known for many centuries before, this was the first time the precious gem became available in commercial quantities. When it first became the gemstone of love and romance is unknown for the diamond
goes far back into antiquity. Ancient
Romans called it the "gem of reconciliatio n" between estranged lovers. Engagement and wedding rings
also easily go back four thotisand
years or more.
The first record of a diamond
engagement ring is the one given
to Mary of Burgundy by Archduke
Maximillia n of Austria in 14 77.
Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth
Il both cherished the diamond rings
given them by their betrothed, even
though they had larger diamonds in
the royal treasury. And up until the
diamond discovery in 1866. it was
largely the royalty who would celebrate love with a diamond gift. Nowadays, over 80% of engaged girls in
America receive a diamond as an
engagement ring according to the
Jewelry Industry Council.
Modern girls can choose a diamond ring on the basis of what
suits their fingers best taking into
consideration the style of the mounting and the shape of the stone. Usually, a large hand will find a good
sized emerald-cu t diamond more
flattering, while the small hand is
complimented by a marquise or
"boat shaped" diamond. The trend
today is to simple designs. We will
be happy to show you our selection.

There is no such thing as just getting
married today. The formalities involved in
planning one wedding may take as long as a
year's preparation. The only real escape •
from the formalities is not to get married.
Eloping was once the answer to the problem,· but with recent publications showing •
that a formal wedding seems to indicate a
more lasting marriage, elopements have
been drastically curbed.
Publishing companies are making a fortune selling books concerning such subjects
as duties of the bride's mother, duties of
the best man, duties of the groom's parents, what the groom should pay for, and
what the bride should pay for. There are
even some books which tell what the parents
of the couple should wear and in what colors.
The "marriage trade" has become a
dependable market for business people of
America. If marriages were suddenly made
unnecessary or illegal, parts of our economy
would certainly be affected. The jewelry
stores would lose the trade in engagement
rings and wedding bands. The florists would
not be able to sell the wedding flowers
for the bride, or the bride's mother, the
maids of honor, the church decorations,
the flower girls, or even the boutonniers
for the men. The flower market would suffer a terrible decline in sales. The medical

field would even lose one of their chances
to get money from the engaged couple. The
physical examinations and blood tests would
not be needed. Lawyers would lose many of
their "customers" because divorces would
not be necessary. Reno, Nevada, would even
suffer from such a drastic law. Statistics
show many marriages are ended in Reno
and with the loss of the "divorce trade"
Reno would certainly be affected.

ll

America is going through what is called by
many psychologists a "sexual revolution."
Americans are changing their moral codes
to fit their present way of life. Americans
preserve the sacred vows of marriage, if
not for their sacred value, then for America's economy. Marriages may be made in
heaven, but they are paid for on credit.

''H er e co m es th e br id e''
By CHARLOTTE REECF
Just think! Some day you will be marching down the aisle on the arm of your father
to the music of "Here Comes the Bride."
That will be your day of days; the day when
the spotlight will shine on you.
From the day you become engaged until
your wedding day arrives, you--the brideto-be will be planning your very own wedding. All brides want a perfect wedding,
but perfect weddings don't just happen. They
ar~ planned. Here is a guide which may be
helpful in planning for "your day." After your engagement is announced, decide what kind of wedding you want to have.
The size of the wedding will probably be
determined by the amount of money the
bride's parents can afford to spend. The

prospective bridegroom may not want to
go through a large formal wedding, but most
men let the bride decide whether she wants
a formal, semiformal or informal wedding.
.J1iese can also be divided into a big formal
wedding, a small formal, a big semiformal,
a small semiformal, a big informal or a
small informal wedding. Why not try a big
semiformal wedding?
Decide on the day and time of the wedding
and check with the clergyman to see if he
has any conflicts. Most weddings occur at
4 p.m. or 8 p.m., but any hour is appropriate. Weddings should not be held on Sunday if at all possible, because of the inconvience it places on the church sexton.
Do not forget to consult with the organist
because he _or she may have other plans.
After you have decided on the size of
the wedding party, select the attendants.
)t is usually customary to choose your

of guests.
Make arrangements for flowers and photographs.
The groom-to-be can host a bachelor
party is he wishes, but it should be several
days before the wedding.
On the wedding day, sleep late if you can,
have your luggage ready for the best man
and when you walk down the aisle, everyone will smile and say, "Did you ever see
• such a beautiful bride."

sister as your maid of honor,or your
fiance's sister. The other attendants are
other sisters or close friends. If your
fiance does not have a brother to serve as
a best man, he could ask your brother, or
he could choose a close friend and have your
brother serve as an usher.
The reception costs quite a lot also so
decide how many people you can entertain
and provide refreshments and cake for. Also the place where the reception will be
held determines how many people can be
invited to it.
Although it may seem odd, if you have
a small wedding, you can invite more people
to the reception. Or vice versa. You could
have a large wedding and because of the
size of the place where the reception will
be, you would not invite all those at the wedding for the reception.
It's a good time to start compiling a list

An oft ignored source of information,
advice and assistance for young bridesto-be is the ladies department of their
local newspaper. Most girls first become
aware of this when they announce their engagement, usually from three to five months
before they plan to be married. Often
it is only the advice of the staff of a local
newspaper which prevents the announcement
from becoming a social disaster. Prospective brides are urged to first formally
notify close relatives and friends before the
story is run.
To avoid the possibility of an error in
a name, address, or date in either a wedding announcement, most newspapers inc_luding the Register-Guard, and the Sp;ingfleld News have available forms which are
filled out by either the bride-to-be or her
parents.
For an engagement announcement a picture of the bride-to-be should be included
--for a wedding announcement some newspapei-s, such as the Springfield News, prefer a picture of the couple rather than of
just the bride. Most area photographers are
more than glad to send a print to the newspaper and will do so on request.
The Register-Guard has a bridal section
every Sunday and the Springfield News bas
a bridal section on both Wednesday and
Friday; both will print announcements for
either residents or former residents of their
circulation area at no charge.
Engagement and wedding announcements,
like every other detail involved in getting
married, must be handled with full attention to etiquette and formality and this
attention is gladly given by the staff of
your local newspaper's women's section.

"I do." These are the well known words
of a marriage ceremony.
I do what! Many couples today don't fully
understand .the meaning of the words preceeding the all important phrase. Many have
the idea ,-.f "I do unto my partner as he
does unto me.''
''I do" can easily be changed to "I will."
But "I will" can easily be mauled around
to ''I will give only to the half way mark
and nothing more."
Perhaps the safe version should be "I
can!" I can "ccept the responsibiliti es
given to me on this all important point of
my life. "I can .... " these are the words
many people find hard to say. If this is
true, perhaps this is what we should use,
maybe more will stop and think then.

HINTS FOR Tl-IE WEDDING ...

Page 9, BRIDAL ISSUE, April 25, 1968, THE TORCH
Mrs. Bessie Campbell, Bridal consultant for the Bon Marc he Russells, has written
a handbook for the bride-to-be. In it are
pages designed to be torn out by the bride
and handed to the members of her wedding
party. Suggestions are also given for the
reception line and cutting of the cake.
Each page lists the individual responsibilities for each person involved in the wedding. With Mrs. Campbell's permission
these have been printed here. Mrs. Campbell and the Bon Marche will be pleased to·
help you with any of your wedding problems.

········ ········ ········ ········ ········ ········ ········ ········ ········ ········ ········ ········ ·····
THE BEST MAN

Check ring and marriage license.
Check the groom's clothes to be sure everything is ready.
Have envelope with the minister's fee ready before the ceremony.
Check with the minister when marriage certificate is to be signed.
See that the bags of the bride and groom are placed in the going away
car and also that a light lunch is packed and stored in the car.
Be present at the rehearsal.
See that the groom gets in at a reasonable hour the night before the
wedding.
Plan the bachelc,r pcrty a few dar ahead if possible.
After the groom i~ ready to leave, see that his parents are called in to
say their "good '.-vishes."
Notify the head usher when the bridal party is ready to leave.
Be ready to toast the bride. It need not be a long speech, just "Here's
health and happiness to the loveliest of brides".

HEAD USHER
You are responsible to see that the things behind the scenes go smoothly.
Have all ushers check their clothes the evening before to be sure thct
all their clothes are in · order.
Be present at the rehearsal.
Be sure that all the ushers have their boutonnieres.
Check with the bride to know whkh usher is to take the mother of the
bride and mother of the groom down the aisle.
Designate two ushers to pull the white carpet.
Instruct the ushers that the bride's friends ore seated on the left, the
groom's on the right.
Instruct the two ushers ti.tat seated the mothers fo go back and escort
them out.
Appoint two ushers to go down the aisle ofter the ceremony and stand
by the pew as each row leaves.
Appoint an usher if the reception is to be in the church fo show the
•
guests where to go.
If the reception is to be in a hotel or country club, see that transportation
is provided for the bridesmaid. This should be done the night of the
rehearsal, so there will not· be any delay "in getting to the reception.
Inform the ushers when the bride end groom ore ready to leave so the
guests may be present to see them go.
Inform the ushers when the bridal formal photographs aie to be token.
Inform the ushers to be at the church dressed and ready at least half
an hour before the ceremony.
Inform the ushers that they ore to _act as host during the reception, especially to see that the older guests are served and comfortable.

CUTTING THE CAKE

Bride and groom cut the first piece
of wedding coke (1). Bride holds
the knife, usually decorated with
white satin bow and white flowers, groom helps by placing right
hand over bride's right hand. They
then shore in eating first piece of
cake and make a wish.

Friend or friends of bride and her
mother cut remaining coke. If reception is large, have two friends
to cut cake, furnishing each with
knife and cake server, dampened
end dry napkin for their hands and
(for underneath the table or out of
sight) a damp cloth to use for wiping the knife blade occasionally.
Servers cut down at edge of center
layer to divide lower edge of <.:ake,
then cut section 2, then second layer at 3, down through second layer only,
then sections 4 and 5. Exposed part of lower layer under 3 and 5 can
be cut if needed .
When half of cake has been served, remove top decorative layer (6) to a
plate furnished for that purpose. Top layer is always saved for the bride
and groom, unless it is needed for recept ion. Always keep decorated port
of cak~ toward guests, as long as possible.

REMINDERS FOR MOTHER OF THE BRIDE
Leave the arrangements for dressing the wedding party to the bridal
consultant or if there is no consultant, to a very close friend.
Appoint a friend that knows most of the bride's friends to s,u ve as your
hostess for the reception. Give her a list of oil those who will be assisting during the reception.
You will need: Two women to cut the cake
One to pour coffee
One to ~erve punch
One for guest book
One to take gifts
One teenager to serve the children's punch.
Remember to order corsages for all those serving.
Decide when you are going to hove the servers wear their corsages. I
would advise that they be placed at the tables where they will be serving.
The ushers should be informed of the names of those that will be serving
and they should be seated in a pew behind the family, so they will be
next to leave the church and at their places before the guests orrive
at the reception.
Details should be written down and given to the hostess.
You and your husband and the groom's parents should proceed to the
reception immediately following the ceremony.
If you decide to toke pictures following the ceremony see that you have
made arrangements for your guests to have a gloss of punch while waiting for the weddding party to arrive.
You shoutd wear your gloves while in the reception line.
You may carry a small purse or none at all.
Make a list of pictures which you wont token and give to your pho... ,
tographer.
Go assist the bride in preparation for her going away.

RECEPTION LINE
The. reception line is done in several ways and many ministers have their
way of doing it and since you are being married in their church their
preference should be adhered to. If not the following lineup is correct.
frequently neither fother stands in the line; the bride's fot~er as host is
looking ofter guests, the groom's father participating in the festivities.
But many times the father of the groom is a stronger to most guests and
he might not feel comfortable, therefore it is best that he stand in line.
It is proper for both to stand in line.

Guide for the
To Be Married
Man
By STAN BLUMENTHAL.

So you're engaged, eh? Have you started
planning for the big day yet? Here are a
few tips for those of you who plan to take
the final step from bachelorhood to matrimony.
1. You're engaged now so a certain amount of responsibility falls on your shoulders. For instance, you're contemplating
marriage, so you have to change your social
pattern from the carefree bachelor days to
face the responsibility you have to your
intended. If you really believe she is the
only one for you, you can't be fl_irting around like when you were a bachelor.
2. Remember the engagement period is
your most crucial time. Make sure you do
things together, some perspective grooms
take their fiance to the jewelers, to pick
out the ring. Others take them to movies
periodically, or to dinner, or to church. A
set schedule is always preferable, if you
both work, or if you are both going to college.
3. DON'T OVER SPEND! No one likes
a big time spender, least of all your future
bride. Remember the groom has expenses
too, on or near the wedding day.
4. Most important of all, make your fi.ance feel li!;:-e the most important person
in the world. She'll be your wife someday,
and that will be the most important thing
to ever happen in your life. Your engagement is the prelude, beginning the most
crucial period before marriage. It gives
you time to iron out some problems, so that
you KNOW that she is the one that you will
spend the rest of your life with.
These tips were given to help those planning to marry, and to help them understand
the responsibilities they have both to themselves and to that special gal in their life.

WILL YOU
MARRY ME
By KATHY PIPKINS
"Oh Harry, I'm so flattered! I don't
know what to say."
"Mary, it was so romantic. Here we
were, standing in front of an apartment
building on Willamette St, and he sprang
it on me. It was so sudden."
"Well, what would YOU do if John asked
YOU to marry him ... ? I said yes."
Once again it is spring and hundreds of
guys are asking that special girl the
$64,000 question. "Will you marry me?"
There are many ways in which the men
can ask the question (as illustrated above)
but there are only two answers the girl
can give. Yes or no. So men "buck up,"

you all have a 50-50 chance that the girl
of your dreams will say, "Yes, Orville,
I want to be Mrs. O.J. Orangejuice."
Guys, if you've never asked a girl; you
have an enlightening experience ahead.
Girls, if you've never been asked, you
better see what's holding him up.
There are numerous ways in which the
man can ask a girl to marry him. Usually
there is a special date. Dinner at a fancy
champagne .... the
dancing,
restaurant,
works. However, the guy who chooses to
ask his girl while he is changing a flat
tire on a rainy night while she holds the
flashlight, has just as good a chance of
getting yes for an answer.
It isn't really how you ask, or where you
ask that is important. It's WHO you ask
that decides what the answer will be.

Br·i dal custo ms ancie nt
By JIM TOWNSEND
The season of brides will soon be here.
Graduation comes in June and after graduation many will marry those they pledged
their troth to in the past months. Brides
will walk down the aisles in white gowns
and veils and say 'I do/' etc. They exchange
vows, are showered with rice, have old
shoes and tin cans tied to the cars and go
racing off to seclusion: The Honeymoon.
In ancient times, in different areas of
the world, the bride or groom was bought
by dowery. In some places this is still
so. Rings, of course, could be part of the
dowery or payment. But the rings today in
our country take the place of the dowery
because it symbolizes the exchange of money or goods, making the marriage contract
binding.
The showering with rice is ancient also.
It was believed that by doing this they would
ward of{ the evil spirits. In ancient Greece
flour and sweetmeats were poured over thegroom to bring good luck and many children.
The best man who now carries the ring
would, in former days and in other countrieb~
. carry a sword in front of the wedding party to ward off evil. The old shoes and tin

cans replace ·this in our culture; for the
Chinese it is the firecrackers.
In some societies the whole village may
take part in the wedding celebration as
in this exerpt of a description of a Buddhist wedding in Thailand: On the wedding
day the village was engaging in a jubilant
celebration. The new wedding house was
being decorated with white~elephant flags,
trimmed banana and coco-nut palm leaves.
The roof, thatched with dry grass, was
neatly bound at its edge with red paper.
From the bamboo rafters, Kamnan (the
father of the bride) hung the various fruits
of the season, and on every door and window
he draped strings of the fragrant yellow
Jampa flowers. On the long ladder leading
down to the ground, Kamnan put six white
dots arranged in the shape of a triangle
to keep evil away from the house.
As this was going on the groom waited
on the other side of the village for the proper time to arrive and then he would ride
the elephant he had borrowed from the
monastry through the village followed by
his friends on the horses. As they went
they would gather crowds of children ~nd
their families all yelling and making noise
on drums and pans. In this manner they
would all arrive at the wedding house for
the ceremonies and feasting.

Marria ge,
an institu tion

?
•

Marriage is a great institution, which
everybody should try at one time or another. Just think of it, bachelors, waking
up in the morning and seeing your lovely
bride with curlers in her hair and cold
cream on her face lying there, saying "l
love you.,,. If that doesn't send chills down
your spine, there's always that feeling of
sensation of hearing the pitter-patter of
little feet around the house. But you have
to admit, that's better than child support!
One great bachelor stated "A bachelor
must always keep one step ahead of the
girl. When she gains that step, it means
marriage." This particular bachelor got
marrled three days after I asked him this
question. His new father in-law gave him a
shotgun wedding.
So remember bachelors, the institution of
marriage is what you make it.

The 1968 bridal gowns are the most completely beautiful and feminine styles to be
seen in a decade, according to Mrs. Jane
Erickson, fashion coordinator for Kaufman
Bros. She has shown these styles on the LCC
models, Patti Baumann and Jeanie Hoglund,
in this Bridal Section.
The bride can now dress to personify her
own personality just as she does in street
dress.
The 1968 styles have had three major
influences:
(1) The movie "Gone with the Wind" has
done much to influence the bridal fashion
picture. It has introduced on~e again the
full, billowy skirts, tiers of ruffles on the
train, heavy ribbon detail, and jeweled ·
trim.

I

\4

(2) The "little girl" quality has also been
a major influence in bridal fashions. This
demure, nostalgic era is shown in the heck
ruffles and the tiers of lace and ribbon.
(3) The Spanish influence, acc·enteci by
the . mantillas, is continuing strong. This
is for the girl who wants the softness of
lace surrounding her face instead of the
traditiona l illusion veil.
Elegant fabrics are very much a part of
this year's bride's w'ear, but these fabrics
·are also functional. Dotted swiss, silk organza, and French voile are popular materials for the bridal clothing.
Bridesmaid clothes this year accentuate
the intricate feminine detail shown in the
bridal gowns. Soft floral with plain color
overlay are predominate on the fashion
scene. The color range for 1968 is far
greater than ever before.

The wedding is like a theater production
in that it is performed before many spectators. It has a male and female lead and
a supporting cast.

Have you ever tried to write an article
about something you know nothing about?
H you have, it has probably ended up like
something from the bottom of the birdcage.
This reporter knows nothing about marriage and this is supposed to be an article
dealing with this subject. To avoid the
"bottom of the birdcage" syndrom that prevails in much of amateur journalism today,
this reporter went out and did a little research on the subject of marriage. In other
words (as if what I just said needs elaboration) I went out to be educated and to cure
my ignorance.
Boy did I get cured!! I almost got pickled
and made into sauerkraut!!
All I did was ask a girl to marry me. I

• How about your Christmas

• A list of friends.

final pruning of the list, don't
be too ruthless. Remember, nearly everyone loves to see a wedding. It's a gracious custom to
invite old friends who remember

Another practical side of this
system is that the remaining
space on the card can be used to
record gifts as they arrive.
Thank-you notes may be written
by referring to the card for name,
address and type of gift.
Aids In Thank-You's
The cards are also a boon since
you can check off the name when
an invitation has been sent, and

way to pay off a social obligation.
Now that the list is complete,
you should transfer it to some
sort of a permanent record to
simplify addressing invitations.
Senral books are printed for just
this purpose. •
However, one simple and practical method is a card file. On
each •card you should list-name
of the person, names of children
being invited ( whose names appear on inside envelope), their
address.
Card System Effective
This card system is especially
effective if an address is changed
or you decide to omit or add a
name.

when a • thank~you has been
mailed.
The invitation list is one of the

most time consuming aspects of
planning a wedding, but with
these few points it can be made
much simple~.

figured it had better be a girl or else the
guys might look at me funny. And naturally
the point of asking the girl (she remains
• anonomous) were purely on the research
level. I tried to explain this to the girl
who I hadn't previously known and she really
gave it to me. All four boyfriends. She also
gave me the word "all research is supposed to be done after you're married" but I
never really figured that one out.
The main impression I got from my little
experience into (maybe that's a poor choice
of words) marriage was that it is a serious
subject. It is also a surgical subject when
you mess around with it. It cost me eight
stitches.
Although much that you read does deal
with marriage on a ligher note, when it
comes to the real thing, "cool it" buddy,
or you might get cooled.

''TUFF''

I suppose I must now say something in
reply to Michael Pendleton's letter to the
editor that appeared in last week's Torch.
It seems as though we are now entering
·an era of letters to the editor in LCC publications. As evident by the floods ofletters
that have poured into The Torch in the past
few weeks, I believe Hugh Davis may have
started a trend. A trend that was a long
iime coming, and a long time needed.
The Torch is a learning experience, and
I personally appreciate Pendleton's letter
Qecause his criticism increased my learning capacity. One can only correct his
taults when they are brought to his attention.
But I must say to Pendleton, that I will
NOT reverse my present attitudes, because an opinion is needed, even if it is to
have something to agree or disagree with.
I will say to Mr. Pendleton that I will do
tnY best as Intramural Publicity Chairman
to report the facts as facts, and to be as
completely unbiased _as possible in straight
news writing, although it does sound rather
dull.
However, Mr. Pendleton, you seem to be
ignorant of journalistic aims and processes.
There is no such thing as "completely
unbiased" reporting of any type. This is
journalistic fact. You also failed to recognize the "Beaver article" as one of a fea-

ture nature. In feature writing, the opinions that I expressed are natural anct correct journalistic style.
The "Beaver article" was a reporting
vehicle used to build interest in the intramural softball league race. The only
unity that can be · achieved in an environment such as Lane's is established with
in the
participation through interest
program's competition. It seems to have
got your attention anyhow, Mr. Pendleton.
It is too bad that a few more of your fellow
Eugeneans couldn't get as interested. We
might have an intramural softball league of
some proportion.
Under normal conditions, establishing a
champion gives the other teams something
to shoot for. Unified Thurston stomped the
Beavers, at least you could have tried. I
must also remind Mr. Pendleton, that although I am emotionally linked with Spring-,
field, my position was an anti-Beaver one,
as the basketball captain of the "infamous"
Freshly Brewed Coffee, the only team to
defeat the Beavers. Would you also please
notice that the quote you used in your
letter to the editor was not properly interpreted. I did not establish the Beavers
as intramural champions, as you infer,
but the recently crowned basketball champions, as (I thought) clearly stated.

TUESDAY APRIL 30,
C•

4 : 30 FIELD II 1
Thurston vs. Beavers
FIELD II 2
Nqrth vs. South

It all began in the summer before my
sophomore year in high school.
One day, as I cruised around town on my
traffic-ticket getting Honda motorcycle, I
chanced to pass by a baseball field, where
two high school girls' softball teams ~ere
warming up.
It was a dry, choking day, certainly not
one to sit in the bleachers for four humid
hours watching a baseball game. But being
such an avid student of our national pasttime, and also liking baseball slightly, I
pulled over to watch. After observing both
teams warm up, I realized that one was
vastly superior to the other though it couldn't
play baseball very well.
I must have sat on my 'cycle' for close
to 15 minutes before my intent gaze was
interrupted by a touch on my left shoulder.
Somewhat startled, I turned sharply to be
confronted by a thirty-fivish Jnan, dressed
in a large, green baseball cap. He may have
been wearing other apparel, but the hat
dominated my appraisal of him. This was due
to the fact that he was about two feet
shorter than myself and the broadbilled hat
hid almost his entire body as I looked down
on him. He looked up at me, revealing a
squinting, rubbery face that smiled broadly
behind a five o'clock shadow. He gave the
impression of an inability to speak, but
after he had made a short appraisal of
me, he found it necessary. It did appear
that it was an effort for him to do so. I
could tell at once that he was a desperate
man.
'' Son, would you happen to know anything
about girls softball." He spoke with apained
expression.
To relieve his tension, I joked slightly.
"Well, I know a lot about girls, and some
about softball."
He sort of laughed, which I felt was a
major accomplishment.
"We need an umpire, our regular didn't
show up." His reply came in almost pleading tones.
TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK

Thurston blasts Beavers
Tuesday rematch scheduled

The Springfield Beavers aren't quitters. But then again
there are those who think that they never got started.
Thurston's softballers turned out in force Tuesday to
thrash the Beavers 28 to 8, in intramural softball league
play. But the Beavers are ready for seconds, and they'll
get them.
The combined six Eugene intramural districts could not
field a team. The result is a replay of the April 23 games.
If no teams are formed from the Eugene Districts, the league
will be turned into a recreational period.
Thurston's Tuesday win was a full team effort. Every
rhurston player gained .base safely, and scored at least
once. The Beavers couldn't muster much of an offense, and
Nas plagued by fielding miscues.

Whether you realize it or not, there are
more than fifty-two weeks in a year. I'm
convinced that no one will ever really know
how many weeks there are in a year because every time you count them there suddenly appears one or two or ten and sometimes more new weeks.
Does that sound ridiculous? Well, it really
isn't because somebody is always naming a
week to bring something to the attention
of people. There's "National Dairy Week"
and "National Secretaries Week" and "National Education Week." During 1965, there
were more than 200 such weeks and many
more have been added since.
Well, those of us who work in libraries
have a week too. It's National Library Week,
which this year is April 21-27, and' that
began Sunday. Just like any oth~r week, we
have something we want to bring to someone's attention and so, on the posters and
bookmarks and other things you will soon .
be seeing, there will be the following motto--"Be all you can be. Read."
These days the ability to read is of pr-ime
i mportance: We take it for granted. Just·
try to take a drive. or fill out a job application or any• one of •a thQllsand things
you do every day without beieg able to
read. People will read almost anything-the backs of breakfast food boxes and
record albums, the contest rules for grocery stores and service stations, the advertisements for cars or cigarettes or
cameras, and sometimes even a book.
The whole point is this. All the knowledge available to mankind can be found in
print if you really want to look for it and
really want to know. If you want to be
everything you can be or want to be, one
of the ways to achieve your goal is to read-and learn. Reading is the key to self-development.
Think about that motto for a minute and
see if you can figure out what its message
is to you. Just what did you have to do in
order to find out what this column was all
about?

Ma Thorn paid The Torch office a visit

stud ying help ful

Excerpted from the World Publishing
Company book, ''Study Faster and Retain
More."
In this chapter, we'll see how to use your
studying at home to make your class, work
easier and vice versa.
If your teacher just follows the textbook,
you've no problem. But most teachers just
use the text as a general guide; their class
lectures may concentrate on points that
are only briefly mentioned in the book, if
at all. In a case like this, a little planning
can save you a lot of work. Here's what
you should do:
The night before the class, survey the next
textbook chapter a couple of times. Use the
bold print, the summary, the maps and the
graphs. Don't dig into it too deeply--just get
a general idea of what's in the chapter and
some idea of how detailed the chapter is.
In class, the next day, you need to take
notes only on what is not in the textbook.
There's no point in rewriting the textbook
in class. A good overview the night before
(it takes only 10 minutes) will save a lot of
unnecessary scribbling during class and will
give you a chance to reallylistento the teacher for a change.
Ideally then, your text will provide the
background that · will let you take an intelligent part in class discussions.
Your teacher can talk at a rate of about
150-200 words a minute. The very best
stenographers can't take dictation that fast,
so don't try to write down everything a teacher says. You can't write that fast; you'll
get confused and you may even miss an important part of the lecture.
Here's the way a good note-takei: operates:
--When he does take notes,he listens;
he doesn't just scribble. He assumes that if
a teacher wants something taken down ex-

down. Between Putnam's Inn and Mayfresh,
Torch staffers will stay coffee-polluted for
quite awhile.
Happy belated birthday to the guy who's
responsible for the production assistant
sporting an engagement ring on her left
hand. Best wishes and all that kind of stuff.
This week's paper was supposed to be
last week's, but due to circumstances completely within our control, last we, k's paper
is coming out this week. It started out to be
12 pages but a sudden burst of energy, copy
and pictures expanded it into 16. The last
attempted 16-page paper was rapidly and
not-too-nicel y shot down. This one should
have a better reception.

DEAR

The next time you drive into the parking
lot and get out of your car, be sure to open
your car door hard enough to put a goodsized dent in the car next to yours. People
just love to count the colors that somehow
appear on their car doors during the course
of a single day. It's human nature to be
a little considerate of your neighbor. Try
being human for a change.
At the rate strikes are taking place, the
next thing you know, journalists will go out
on strike •to demand that folk dance:r~
take their music and loud feet elsewhere
and communicate with each other. That
probably would never take place though.
Newspaper people are peace-loving germs.
They don't fight; just contaminate.
For the first tim,: Torch staff members
have been placed off limits, . for sympo~iums, that is. The Reporting Il class converged this week on an unsuspecting student
body to seek intelligent answers to various
questions. They undoubtedly had to look
pretty hard.
Quote of the week came from the local
Bambi-killer . He told his class, "I'm singing trumpet," Funniest thing is he was. The
band, choir and folk dancers are at the coast
today to give a couple of concerts. Hope
they enjoy themselves and that too many
of them don't get lost in the blue Pacific.
Pink carnations for the girl already elected corresponding secretary (once). She's
in the hospital for a short stay, but not
because she couldn't face the elections
again. This time is merely a formality.
Get well quick Susie.
Applications for next year's Torch editor
were considered yesterday by Media Board.
Just a clue to anyone who has been considering joining the world of pink dots.
You wouldn't be able to stand working under
either one of the aspiring candidates. Slavedriving is the way they plan to accomplish
things. Lots of luck to the soul who gets
stuck with the thankless job of editing The
Torch.

actly (perhaps a definition), he'll say so.
The good note-taker listens for the main
idea of the thought before he starts writing.
--As the teacher introduces each major
point, our ideal listener makes a short note
to pin down the topic. Then he just listens
and tries to understand the teacher. He
may write down occasional fine distinctions,
that the teacher is fond of. When the teacher finishes each major point, our hero
makes a short summary of it and starts
to listen for the next big point.
--The good note-taker is always active
and questioning; he tries to anticipate what
the teacher is going to say. That way, he's
able to concentrate; his mind doesn't wander.
One more point--if a certain class or a
certain teache·r bores you · and you can't
help daydreaming, try listening in spurts
(the same way that you study). Conc~ntrate hard for 10 minutes, then take a 5minute daydream break, then listen to 10
•mJre minutes, take another break and so
on. It's not the best way of attending class,
but it's better than daydreaming all the time.
