A&P Adds Trainer
Lane Community College has
added another first to its history
book.
Recently the Airframe and
.Power Plant Department added
a new Link Trainer to its
flight course. It was built by
General Precisions in Bingham,
New York.
The trainer simulates actual
flight as if in a small modern
general aviation aircraft. It can
be used by student pilots both
for basic flight training and to
obtain an instrument rating.
The Link Trainer is completely made up of small micro circuits, comparable to a small
transistor radio. The instructor
has a ground path recorder that
monitors the students' flight. He

can throw in wind, rough air,
loss of oil pressure, cylinder
head temperature, and out of gas.
The instructor also acts the
part of the control tower, com
municating to the student through
the two-way radio in the plane.
He is able to dictate current
weather conditions and flight instructions as might be encountered in actual flight.
The plane climbs, turns, banks,
and dives, at the command of the
student. The instrument panels
are identical to general aviation
aircraft.
A specific number of hours
spent in the trainer, dictated by
the federal air regulations, can
be logged as actual flight time
which counts towards the minimum time for pibt.s rating.

is directed by Ed Ragozzino and
,is LCC's first play.

Debaters do Well In Portlondtontest
In the second debate of its
season the Lane Community deconsisting of Bob
bate team
Shurtliff, Sandy Curtis, Peggy
Denniston and Earlene Harju,
chalked up another victory by
winning one out of six rounds
of debate.
"This is the first time they
have been in a .debate itself and
we were surprised to win one-but I was proud of them and they
were proud of themselves," commented Miss Carol Taylor, debate instructor.
Miss Taylor's comments on
the University of Portland debate
on December 5 and 6 were,
"The debators are really anxious
to go -- more so now than before they went to the first one.
While there, they met '"a lot
of }he other debators anci said
they le,arned a lot from them."

"There were 44 schools at
the meet held at the U of O,
from utah, Nevada, Wyoming,
Idaho, California, Washington and
Oregon," Miss Taylor said. "It
was a very high powered and
exciting debate; the kids bad a
lot of fun.''
The 4 debators were debating
on the resolution, "Executive
control of foreign policy should
be significantly curtailed." "Bob
and Peggy were debating the affirmative side and Sandy and
Earlene the negative side.
The Forensics Association decides the topic for all schools
to debate the entire year, although now the students are only
debating one side of the topic, •
in the winter term when they •
get their feet wet and learn
what's going on they will each
have a chance to debate each
side. In other words, when a

debator stands up to debate he
is saying,' This is my analysis
on this side, not necessarily my
belief.' "
The team, which meets on
Tuesday nights at 7:30, practices
the coming debates, discusses ·
and researches the topic, and
examines the fundamentals of debate itself. The class will not
meet again until December 3,
and anyone who is interested is
welcome and encouraged to come.
Miss Taylor admitte,d, "This involves work, and as it is new,
people are sitting by watching
the progress before they commit ·
themselves: Pm going todo some
recruiting for the winter term
as we can use more people."

High School Visits
On Nov. 18, ASCUS conducted
a tour of LCC campus for the
senior class of Pleasant Hill
High School.
Bill Denniston, president of
ASCUS, said that a total of 83
seniors from Pleasant Hill High
arrived at LCC for a tour which
started at 12:00 rloon and ended
at 1:00 p.m.
ASCUS members who acted as
guides for the tour were as
follows: Bill & Joanne Denniston, Mike Bingham, James Long,
Engel,
Bill
Cynthia Davis,
Carroll Turner, and Clayton
Lindseth.

Bill Denniston said that this
tour was part of an orientation
program for senior students who
desire to further their education.
Denniston said that the tour
went as scheduled, with one exception, and that occurred when
one of the buses from Pleasant
Hill left without its load of students. 1-Ls a result, it was several hours before 20 students
from Pleasant Hill were finally
able to obtain transportation back
to their school.

The preceding was the probable
reaction of some of our ancestors
as they recoiled in horror at
a radical editoria l f>y the local
troublem aker and publisher.

The editoria l was, of course,
advocating the ending of terri- ,~~f-]) 1.
torial status and the beginning
of statehood. But those who objected to the article did so only
because the editor had said the
head of the statehood committee
was spending his time shacked up
with the Widow Humphrey instead
of spending his tim•~ in the capital
and taking care of business there.
After all, why shouldn't we tarn-feathe r the varmit? Everybody
says he's a radical.
But thank God this wouldn't

was an accident, so why not forget it?
Few people realize the heavy respons ibilities student newspaper
editors carry. So Editor Ron Eachus trusted somebody he shouldn't;
so the result wasn't nice. So what? People are viewing the University and the Emerald as though they were criminal s.
Wquld these psuedo-socialites, these psuedo-Christian crusaders

Two wom~n who saw WW II

CAMPUS PACS ARE COMING!! That's
what the signs around our campus
are announcing these days. Here's
the full story begind this cryptic
message: Students here at Lane
Community Coilege are beneficiaries of a "giant product give-away"
by manufacturers of various brandname products who are trying to win
new customers among the college
crowd. More than $3,500,000 worth
of merchandise is being distributed
in CAMPUS PACS going to 1 million
college students across the country-and we are fortunate to be included
in this huge promotion, according to
Miss Ada Zinser, manager of the
Bookstore. On Dec. 4,5,6, at the
Bookstore, 1000 pacs will be distributed on a one-to-student basis.
Students will be checked off so that
as many as possible can take advantage of this limited supply.
The Bookstore expects a tremendous
rush, according to Miss Zinser, if
experience at other schools is duplicated. Students are urged to get
to the store early since the supply
of CAMPUS PACS is so limited.
"This is a great opportunity, Miss
Zinser said. "These top companies
want the patronage of the college
student, and they're using this
means to get it.. Al though each
pac is worth several dollars. 11 Our
charge of 35¢ per pac covers packag- ing, freight and handling costs
only.
Products to be featured in these
CAMPUS PACS include: well known
toiletries with one box made up
for women and another selection
for men.
