Petitions Du-e For SB Offices The constitution of the Associated Students of Lane Community College requires that all students who wish to run as a candidate for office must file for an Associated Student body office by presenting a petition properly signed by 50 qualified members to the Student Activities Office.

They were designed for weight to 25 to 26 pounds said Bill Cox, dean of college services. ' The Diesel, Auto, and Aircraft Mechanics Building "sank three inches" said Cox. The building was shored. "Today after the snow melted off," said Cox, the building corrected itself. He added the buildings have an approximate five pounds safety factor. According to Cox, someone faked a call to a local radio station pleaing for citizens to feed the ducks on the LCC ponds. Several people responded but said Cox "they're (the geese and ducks) eating better t~an you ai:id I are." Someone brought them a hundred pounds of grain, the school bought them a hllndred pounds of grain, and someone bought some bread out for them to e~. • •• Interested parents are all that is needed to start a child care exchange program at Lane Community College this term. ''Next year we fully intend to have a Child Care Center at Lane," explained Mrs. Gladys Belden, head of the home Economics department, "but several distressed mothers who are students this term have expressed an immediate need for an exchange baby sitting program." In this program a mother would be able to bring her children with her to Lane and leave them with the Child Care Center while she attends classes. Then, during her free hours between classes, the mother could supervise the children at the center while other mothers were attending classes. The immediate • advantage to such a program for the parents is the money saved in not having to pay a baby sitter for the full time the mother is at Lane. One young mother, Mrs. Elaine Berg, recently expressed her approval of the program by saying, "It's definitely worthwhile to me to help take care of other children for a few -hours so I can continue taking classes at Lane without worrying about finding a baby sitter each time. My children will also benefit, though, by being with other children and learning in a nursery type situation." Puzzles and toys will be available to keep the children busy as well as regular reading and music sessions similar to the programs in an ordinary nursery school. • The children in this program will range in age from three to five· years old. One requirement of the parents who use the Child Care Center is that they enroll in an adult education class. This would meet only two hours each week to discuss different , aspects of child care and development. Continued on page 4 . "Petitions are due for Asso- ciated Student Offices and Stud- ent Senate", says Jack Whisenhunt, publicity director for Student Senate.

The Med:.1 Board at a special meeting January 16 moved to recommend that the 1969 TITA.'l'i •yearbook not be published because of difficulty in securing a yearbook staff and related problems. LCC students and staff members are invited to attend special Media Board meeting February 18 at 11:30 in room 102 of the Health Building and express their feelings at that time regarding the future of the school's publications. A special invitation is issued to members of the Student Senate to attend this meeting in light of the statement of' the Accreditation Evaluation Committee that the relationship of the college newspaper to the Student Senate needs to be examined. a Signed: Pauline Dixon Chairman of Media Board Trash al LCC The trees in the nearby hills have lost the green-hue of sum mP,r and now are turning a greyish-brown, signaling the end of summer and marking the beginning of autumn; giving a forboding appearance; for winter is not far off. There is a chill in the air. suggest~g perhaps, a promise of snow. LCC's parking lots are practicallydeserted, revealing the rough black surface of asphalt. Bright yellow lines are painted at regular intervals, marking individual parking spaces for cars. The straightness of the lines bring to mind a formation of soldiers standing in perfect formation. But something is wrong, instead of a clean orderly parking lot, papers of all sizes, and colors are seen shapes, everywhere. In some places the wind has blown the paper into small piles, completely hiding the asphalt from view. The Torch does not print the news. Or so its staff members have been told. An interview with Student Bo117 President, the Marsh Johnson revealed as a fact, that there is a conflict be•tween the Torch and the Student Senate, and the real reason s are finally out in the open. The Gripe of the Senate: Case in point seems to be that the Student Senate has· purportedly allotted $2,750 to the Torch to support its operation. ·The Student Senate reports that the student body does not feel like they're getting their monNeither do they ·ey's worth. believe that the Student Senate receives proper coverage from • the newspaper. Marsh Johnson cited, as an instance, that members of the student body feel that he is incompetent. He maintains that the reason for this is that they really don't know what he and the Student Senate are doing. The Problem of the Torch: Jerry Foster, Editor of the Torch, admits that the Torch has not been all that it could be. The reason, being.that there is not much organization to speak of. Because of this, it is difficult to get a paper out at all, much less full of quality news! How About the Student Body? The basis of the whole problem can be logically traced down to apathy. Apathy amidst the Torch staff, apathy amidst the Student Senate, and more importantly, apathy amidst our student body! It seems that plenty of people are readily avail.able for gripe sessions, about both the Torch and the Student Senate. .

The whole tour went well there were no accidents - and the shows went smoothly. The tour was a valuable learning experience for the students. Friday morning, January 18th the cast returned to Lane, moving in slow motion but smiling. Ed Chambers of the Stop the World cast, stepped into the Performing Arts office and asked '' When do we start on the ne; production?" To that question Ragozzino replied, "Let's wait about a week."

Mr. Ragozzino' s comments to Stanley Blumenthal instructional TV and the Torch reporter ran somewhat as follows. The show played to audiences of 700 'at Willamette University in Salem, 400 in the Abby theater at Mt. Angel. "Littlechap," Scott Van Fossen, made a big hit with the state legislators in Salem when "Mum'oo-Jumbo" he did the speach to parliamimt scene. The legislators proved to be the shows most sophisticated audience. They caught all the most subtle humor, and stopped the show repeatedly with their applause. Nicola Crafts stole the show at Mt. Angel Abbey with her "AU-American" number. In that scene a night club dancer, Nicola, goes into the audience to perch on some gentleman's lap, and run her fingers through his hair, etc. For this routine Nicola picked the most austere appearing gentleman in the place. He turned out to be an austere language professor from the seminary. His students really enjoyed the situation, and Nicola the scene beautifully, played Ragozzino said. The Benedictine mi"~n of Mt. Angel Abbey were gracious hosts. They conducted the troupe on a tour of the Abbey and served dinner European style, the main dish was "huge" platters of speghetti with m~at-balls.

When asked what it was like to take college students on the road Mr. Ragozzino said '' They were in constant motion." The "motion" consisted of loading and unloading gear, setting up and taking down the props, eating, rehearsing, doing the show, and then unwinding for a couple hours so they could settle down and • rest\ Yvonne Cosby Student {hollenges {ito lions There seems to be a thorn in the side of some would-be-· peaceful institutions this year. Reagan has his problems with students, and LCC has its prob- . Iems with traffic citations. Wally Rowland, Lane's traffic officer has been "doing a lot of walking." In the short time since winter term began he has issued well over two hundred tickets of various-sized bails to both students and Administration personnel. '' I dislike inconveniencing the students by issuing these tickets, but they must realize that park ... ing stickers and proper use of parking facilities is essential " • ' he said. Student reaction to this policy has be~n negative. Joyce Early, recordmg secretary of the Student Senate, had this to say,. '' This is an institution which is to serve the students, some don't think this (policy) is fair, so we had better figure out a way that is more to the students best interest." Joyce is presently circulating petitions which she feels will insure "that a competent com·mi.ttee or investigation will be made of the present system." She feels fines imposed for such illegalities as placing the parking sticker im,::>roperly or parking head-in are "unjust."w Apparently Miss Early is not alone in her jujgement, she has over three hundred signatures from i,tudents and staff members who back her petition. Officer Rowland said ''although parking regulations and stickers has been confusing, they are now easily obtainable in the registrars office and there is no reason for students or staff to be cited on these traffic violations" The discussion is a heated one and many feel it's "worthwhile."
