OCCSA Supports Parnell Opposes Measure•? The Oregon Community College Student Association delved into individual community college problems and answers, and acted on two state issues--supporting the defeat of one, and the retainment of the other in the Association's fall convention hosted by Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario Friday and Saturday. Small mixed delegate groups discussed student apathy concerning student government and college social and even athletic affairs. According to these discussions, one college has a controversial dresscode problem which is causing friction between student, faculty and/or administrative elem,1nts. Students apathetic about college--social, athletic, or intellectual--happenings were of major concern to delegates. • One state issued acted upon was ballot measure #7, termed by one speaker as the "l 1/2% public nuisance." The speaker, Grant Rhinehart, TVCC Board Member, said that is #7 is passed, the amount of revenue lost to education would put schools be. hind enough financially to liken the situation to a losing game score. He said education's position would be ''like making up a 30-0 baseball game in the second half of the ninth inning. "Schools will be desperately trying to catch up," he said. Lane Senate President Marsh Johnson presented an OCCSA prepared resolution to the convention calling for the defeat of #7. The Association unanimously supported the resolution after an amendment sponsored by Chuck Olson, president of the Clatsop delegation. Central Oregon and Linn-Benton delegations were absent at the vote. Mt. Hood was the only school to split their vote. They voted three yes (for the resolution) and two abstained. Rhinehart, speaking on the other state issue said he was nearly 60 years old and had "never worn a button in support of any man before." He paused, looked at, and touched a Parnell button on his chest and said, "but I wear this with pride." Later the OCCSA endorsed former Lane President Dr. Dal~ Parnell for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Parnell accepted the state post last spring at the request of Gov. Tom McCall. In other Association business: Probably the hottest issue of the week-end came when Lane made an unsuccessful bid for the spring OCCSA convention. An OCCSA committee suggested three schools for the spring convention: Clatsop, Portland, and Lane. Clatsop Student Body President Chuck Olson said they "would very much" enjoy having the convention in Astoria. He promised new ideas for the convention "that have never been thought of before," and laughing, he quickly added "and probably haven't been thought of yet.'' The speaker for the Portland delegation thanked the committee for the recommendation, explained briefly their convention facilities, and received a • large round of applause when he withdrew his school's name from the list of convention contenders because it was held in Portland last spring. This move left only Lane and Clatsop. Continued on page 4.

Of The Torch Jokingly admitting he had indeed traveled with '' the two major presidential candidates--' 'pausing, "Muskie and Agnew," he began telling of "The State of the Nations." He said Richard Nixon had an advantage in winning the '68 Republican nomination because "he had no opposition." Romney dropped out before he started. Drummond made no mention of Governors Rockefeller or Reagan. The little grey-haired man who probably stands no higher than a leprechaun, kept taking off and putting on his large, black-rimmed glasses while explaining that Nixon has learned a lot since his encounter in '60 with JFK. as an . example, Drummond recalled a recent meeting of editors where both major-party candidates spoke. Humphrey, he said, tallied 57 minutes and used three minutes answering questions. Nixon, diametrically, spoke three minutes and answered questions for 57. Despite audio trouble the first few minutes, he described Humphrey's political actions as looking "like an elderly campaigner in slow motion." Though he •doubted either Bobby Kennedy or Gene McCarthy would have beaten Humphrey had he entered state primaries. dermining what that society stands for. He said we must begin to recover government bythe consent of the governed. Many Americans, he said, have become so disdain, they seek government by violent protest.

JOYCE EARLY ASB Recording Secretary Last week I was walking into the east entrance ' of the school when I saw three LCC students stumbling into the school. It appeared that they were under the influence, but I felt I wouldn't make first judgement. So I followed them out to their car, there was an empty case in the back of the car and another one they were opening in the front. I was horrified (SOME STUDENTS WHO READ THIS WILL OF COURSE LAUGH IT OFF JUST SHOWING THEIR INABILITY TO GROW UP) at what I saw. Why would students put on such a show as this? .

Powell feels that we should not critize the people but accept them for what they are. Powell contends there is too , much emphasis on school period. There should be more thought on sharing ideas with people (involvement respect) in picking up the meaning and knowing the people of passed decades. He feels this is the true mark of education. This is Powell's 11th year of teaching, but he does not think of it in those terms. He feels he is still going to school, not as a teacher, but as a student learning with his students.

Most library facilities can be found on the second • floor and this includes the reference books, current magazines and periodicals, study area, microfilm services, the main card catalog, res.erve books, reference assistance, and all audiovisual services. The book stacks are located downstairs. The check-out procedure is as follows: 1. Sign the book card with name and student body number. 2. Show your student body or social security card. 3. Attendant will stamp checkout date on the book card and book pocket. 4. Books may be returned at the attendant's desk downstairs or at the upstairs reserve desk. Cooperation with the above procedure will be appreciated as it will allow us to serve you better. One important fact that most students will find different in our check-out procedure is that we stamp the book and card with the date a book is checked out. is because we have a This "no due date" policy. Since we have no date due, we simply request that a student return a book as soon as he or she is through with it. A book is due at that time and we ask that it be •returned in order to .make it available to other students who may want to use it. If a student wants a book which is checked oµt, we will, upon request, send a letter to the person who has checked it out and request him or her to re turn it. We do request that all books be returned by the end of the term. If there are any problems or questions, students and staff are encouraged to ask any library staff member and we will do our best to provide the service needed.
