Vietnam Morator ium attracts over 4,000
"I'd never been in a march
before or supported a cause like
this--it really does something for
you ... it means something."
Peace marcher . Debbie
Klinge' s sentimtJnts were reflected many timt~s over in the
faces of thos-e all over Eu 6ene
who participated in the October
15 Vietnam "moratorium." The
University of Oregon freshman
was one of 4,000 protestors who
marched from the campus to city
h a 11 i n a d a y , highlighted by
peaceful dissent and discussions
o!' the United State's military
presence in Southeast Asia.
The nationwide observance began in Eugene with interfaith
services at MacArthur Court.
Decrying Amt~rican "intervention" in Vietnam, the oraters
called for an immk~diate end to
the war.
Following the Mac Co'lrt gathering, the demuJstrators woun•1
their way downtown, gathering at
City Hall for another rally, which
ended at noon. Speakers at the
gathering included EugeM ma.y-

or Les Anderson, City Councilman Fred Mohr, one of the instigators of the m,Jratorium; and
community relations director
Wendy Ray.
Silence was 01:>served by the
marchers from 12: 00 to 12: 05 p.m.

A series of informal "town meetings" and "teach-ins", attend-ad
by an average of 20 to ~O people,
was then held at various places
in the area. These groups discussed the "hows and whys" of
ending the war.

elections
Fall elections for student government will be held Nov. 10.
M·1ch planning and'organizing has
been underway since the beginning of the term, in an effort
to involve more students and
circulate details on the elections.
All students runningforapo.5 itio~ on the Senate are required
to ores~mt a petition with 100
signatures to have a namt~ put on
the blllot.
Five senators-at-large will be
selected, in addition to a stud,:mt
body publicity director and freshmtm and sophomore senators
from ,~ach departmt•nt. Departments which will be represented
includ•~: Business, Electronics,
Fine Arts, Hom;• Economics,
Health and Physical Education,
Industrial Techio!ogy, Langua6e
Arts, Mass Communications,
M.1thematics, Mechanics, Nursing, Paradental, Performing
Arts, Science, and Social Scien~e.

a student body card must be presented before receiving a ballot.
If a candidate is running u:1oppos-ed in any d,=partmrnt, his
election will be considered unanimous unless at least 25 vote.s
are cast for any one write-in
candidate. Sh o u 1d a write-in
candidate receive 25 votes, the
election will be decided by a majority of votes cast. Candidates
leading their opponents by one
vo~e or more will be considered
elected.
A tied vote for departmental
representatives will r equire a
run-off election in that departm~!nt. A tie for other positions
will be d•=cided by a general runoff.
Winning candidates will be inducted form2lly into office at the
next Senate mtieting following
the elections.

recognizing the Moratorium and
urging that students be allowed
to p a r t i c i p at e if they wished.
President Pickering agreed, as
long as the students had made
prior arrangement with instructors and exhibited activity "in
keeping with the policies and
standards of the College."
Moratorium events were
somewhat •dampened by intermittent showers in the Eugene
area in a day that saw no major
inc id en ts. Although counterdemonstrations were threatened
be pro-war groups, there were
few obvious efforts to thwart the
•
massive observation.
Even as the effects of the
October 15 demonstration were
being felt throughout the nation,
plans were underway for similar
demonstrations in November and
December. Ray Husted, moratorium spokesman for the Eugene- Sp r in gf ie ld a re a observance, said meetings are underway to work out details of a
November 13-14 event in the area.

Climaxing the day's observances was a massive meeting
at MacArthur Court featuring
former Senator Wayne Morse.
(See separate story.)
In comparison with the University of Oregon's participation
in the national protest, Lane
Community College's role in the
activities was minimal. The day
before the moratorium, LCC
English professor Arthur Tegger
held a '' rap session'' for students
and staff in Center 221, on the
subject, ''Why have the Vietnam
Moratorium?" Wednesday's activities, however, were limited
to participation in U of O sponsored events by a limited number
of Lane students. The EugeneRegister Guard noted that while
many classrooms at the University of Oregon were empty,
attendance "varied" at LCC. The
Guard's spot check revealed that
classes showed from "20 to 75
percent of the students absent."
Lane's Student Senate had
passed a resolution October 9,

The Proposed Grading System

Lane students kicking at last
LCC students are dead. That was the general opinion of anyone
who tried to organize anything last year. But the students are starting
to kick with the beginning of Fall Term, and it almost looks like
there will be a soun•i , healthy student bo1y on campus this year.
There are still hundreds of students, however, who remain
dormant in their own little world. The only problem is that this
campus is part of each person's world the minute he tours it, enrolls
in a class, comt"!S on Sundays to play a game of tennis, or takes a
part-time job here. That person can then no longer use the excuse
of being unaware of LCC. Now that he has gone so far as to admit
it's here, he is bound to see something he doesn't like. But what does
he do? Nothing! And who loses? Him! You've heard it all before-right?
I'll take an example most people are interested in--money. Now,
it's a fact that as a taxpayer some of your money is coming to this
campus. And it's a fact that every student organization on campus,
along with departments, instructors, buildings, etc., are budgeted a
certain amount each year. (No doubt a certain percentage of your
check goes to each division.) Anyway, now that your few pennies
are there, what are those people doing with them? Are they spending
them on reqarding projects and events that will benefit you, so that
you'll be able to rest at night because you know you aren't throwing
cheese down a rat hole? Or are they spending the least they can on
benefits for others and dividing the rest among themselves?
The Student Senate was budgeted this year after asking for a
larger budget to operate. Is it doing you any good? The TORCH
was budgeted $750 this year--are you getting any use out of the two
pennies that were pulled out of your pocket and tossed in the pot
for the TORSH? Each club was budgeted a certain amount this
year. Did you know that som8 of the clubs aren't even organized
and it is reported that many o:! them won't be this year because no
one joined? There's your money just lying around in some dark
hole getting moldy. How do you know this isn't true? The only excuse
for not checking up on something that was taken from you (either
voluntarily or unvoluntarily) is that you've very rich and love to
gamble or you have undying faith in yo'lr fellow American. I'm
ready to meet you if you are either one, because you're a rare
species.
Money isn't the only thing that's important on this campus. Many
times it's simply "the principal of the thing." With 1200 peo~le o!l
campus it's unbelievable that everyone agrees on everything. What
do you think about a minority group like the black students wanting
their own room to "display their culture?" What do yo'J think about
all those foreign students getting together? What about a Student
Senate that spends three days paid-stay at the OCCSA Convention.
What's happening with a student newspaper that doesn't relate to
students? These are known as "fireside gripes", because everyone
complains about them hut that's as far as it goes. Don't be left out
in the warm. Come on in where it's freezing.

the opportunity not to get an

concerned. I t will remove from

Editor discusses newspaper coverage of protests
(The following sto::-y, written
by Barrie Hartman, News Editor,
was recently published in the
Eugen9 Register-Guard under the
heajline "Newspapers and the
Spa~e They Devote to Protests-Wo:ild You Want it Any other
Way?")
Ever since black students began lifting their fists and voices
in protest in Oregon, some criticisms have been raised about
the seeming abundance of news
so ace accorded the situation.
The compl:1i!:1~~;. whi r::hcould
apply· to a.,y matter involving dissent, fall i~to two general categories:
•
- - Why do,3sn't the RegisterGuard ignore the protests? All
these people want is publicity to
help further their cause. So,
by running aH those pictures and
stories, you're playing right into
their hands.
- -If you people feel this sort
of stuff is news, then the least
you could do is put it in pe rs pective. The blacks and their
sympathizers represent an ex~remely s ma 11 minority when
Juxtaposed with the m a j o r it y.
Therefore, it is ludicrous and
irresponsible to give the protesters anything m(Jre than a few
inches of space deep inside the
paper--most certainly not all that
Page One az1d prominent inside
s~ace you have been devoting to
them.
Such criticisms are difficult to
answer without going into a
lengthy exami nation of the theory
of news and of the newspaper's
responsibility to the community it
serves. But let's try anyway.
First of all, agoodnewsp;Qer
believe that t he best citizenry is
an informed citizenry-one that
would rather be aware of.th1rn6ly
an1 the grim than to pretend they
don't exist. Such a citizenry is
best prepared to m,:, 3t prol:>leml->
head-on and, hopefully, to join the
difficult search for solutions.
Secondly, putting news in perspective would be·a sim1.1e matter
if all it required w as counting
noses o.~ both sides of an issui~and
always burying the loser deep
_in~ide the paper.
On the contrary, providing perspective requires digging vigorously into and behind both sides of
all the issues surrounding a given
situation. This is done not to s9ll
newspapers (such efforts, in fact,
sometimes cost us subscribers)
but to help produce that informed
citizenry mentioned above. Limiting coverage of the OregonState
University protests, for example,
to bare - mi nimum, insidepage
mention would be as dishonest
as never reporting or ,analyzing
controversial happenings at the
State Capitol, City Hall, or within
the Eugene school system.
Thirdly, publicizing an issue
involving a minority-like black
students on Or,Jgon's cam~•US
students on Oregon's campusmay indeed help the minority's
cause. But this consequence
seems far less a crime than refusing to adequately report the
situation, which would make th e
newspaper a tool of the majority.
Since when, moreover, is · a
newspaper supposed to reflect
just the views of the majority?
Most Amtiricans sympathize with
the Israeli cause in the Mideast
crisis. Does this mean that newspapers shouldn't tell the Arab's
side of the story? II the majority
of Eugeneans favored leaving the
cross atop Skinner Butte, should
the Register-Guard ignore all
efforts to bring it down?
Also, if newspapers are supposed to mirror just the majority
view-point, how is the majority
going to know what the minority is
up to? Needless to say, it takes
.g!~c.e. at history to
onl y . ~

?~~e!

s e e that the minority has been
right too often for the rest of us to
ajo;>t a s m u g , self satisified
stance.
F in a 11 y, ignoring unpopular
news happenings is as dangerous
as it is irresponsible. Closing
one's eyes to an ugly situation
doesn't ma.ke it go away. Nor does
the right to sit as judge and jury
in deciding what news happenings
are fit and unfit for its reader's
eyes. One has to look only as far .

as the Iron Curtain countries to
see what types of newspapers are
produced under such conditions.
So it is in your interest that
this nation's newspapers remain
free to proYide all th'= facts and
developments surrounding issues-regardless of the skin color
of the participants or the tenor of
t h e i r ideology. A 11 things considered, would you really want it
any other way?

New grading
system proposed
A proposal for a new grading
system for LCC was prepared
last year by Jack Carter, Director of Student Activities, and discussed by the Academic Council.
As a result of this discussion,
a "pass-no--pass" gradingoption
has been mad,a available. No
action has as yet been taken to
implement other a.spects of the
proposed system.
The suggested s y st e m is a
four-point s~ale in which the student would receive an A, B, or
C for satisfa~tory completion of
coTJrse requirements, and an R if
course work is not completed
satisfactorily. A, B, and C would
indicate excellent, good, or
acceptable levels of co".Irse work.
An R> however, would indicate
that the stud<ant needs further
work in the cours9 and sho11ld
repeat it, take a developmental
co'Jrse before repeating it, complete it through independent study, or possibly change pro;;rams.
Grad•~ symools to be used in
addition to the basic four include
W, for withdrawal from the
course; I, for incomplete work
due to circumstances beyond the
student's control; and P, for
credit received under the "passno-pass" option. Only grades
of A, B, or C would be used in
grade point calculation. No credit would be given for a grade
of R, but if the course were repeated satisfactorily the grade
assigned would replace the R.
The proposed system is

,,

adapted from those used at Delaware Technical and Community
College, Santa Fe Community
College, and Sacramento State
College. The purpose of changing
grading procedures, states Jack
Carter, would be to be more in
keeping with Lane's open door
approa~h to e d u c at ion and to
lessen some of the negative aspects of the five point system in
which grades from A through F
are assigned a~1d used to comp'Jte
grade point averages.
Advantages of the plan cited by
its proponents include: 1. The
student would be allowed more
time with the material (for example, by repeating the course) and
slower learners wo'Jld not be
penalized for their failure to
reach a level of competency in
a given lengthoftime. 2. Emphasis would be placed on success,
and the anxiety from threat of
failure would be minimize d.
3. The implication that the college is willing to accept less than
adequate work (now represented
by the grade of D) would be removed. 4. It allows students to
explore areas other than their
prescribed program with a minimum of threat.
Proponents of the grading revision do not feel that it will
interfere with students who wish
to transfer to other institutions,
as credit is given only for A, B,
or C work and the minimum requirement for transfer is 2.00
(C level).

'peace therapy' in which the audience was asked to "think peaceful thoughts." The pause ended

Graduation ceremonies questioned
While a student in high school,
one had few misgivings about
graduation. There was nothing
to question-either one received
the m2.gic diploma, or one did
not. It was a fact of life no more
bewildering or joyous than the
junior-senior prom. One expected long winded speeches, inspiration odes from the A Capp,2la
choir, and the ·grinding strains
of the Grand March performed by
the advanced band.
0 n the community college
level, however, there has been
much discussion, investigation
and soul-searching on what validity a graduation ceremony actually holds for the student.
"It took longer for 600 people
to go through commencement at
L.C.C. than it did for 6,000
oe oo le at Oregon State,"co;n ..
m~inted Carrol Noel, seco:'ld vicepresident of the Student Senate.
Noel, a math major, felt the
c~remony should undergo inten~-, iv e reviston.
"The choir,
orchestra, and speakers were all
good," added Neel, "but it was all
a little too much."
Sandy Curtis, senator from
language a rt s and a political
s c i e n c e major, viewed the
proceedings as "phony." "You
get into your little gown and
march across the stage to shake
hands--it's like high school."
The senators' attitudes seem to
be exemplary of many students
who believe that the idea of a
jnuior cone·ge graduation should
be seriously reviewed.
Some of the faculty is of sim:lar
sentiment. Larry Romine,
director of Information and Publications, is involved in the
investigation. He stated" Perhaps only half the students attended graduation last year, and the
only reason many of the faculty
sho ·.v,ad up is because they would
have missed a day's pay had they
not attended."
The question
of graduation
exercises was discussed at a
recent cabinet meeting in Dr.
Pickering's chambers. A committee consisting of members of
the student body and faculty was
appointed to study reactions
to the matter.
President Pickering also requested that the Student Senate
determine
the consensus of
student bodv ooinion toward the
ceremllny.
The senate is to
-report their findings within a
few weeks.
Jed Merrill, instructor of
Industrial Technology, will also
bereporting his findings to the
Cabinet. "I'd like to see graduation as a day of rewarding and
merit," stated Merrill. "A day
to recognize what's good and then
try to pro::luce more of the sami~.
If some person achieved some
thing outstanding in any given
field, I'd like to see him get the
recognition.
"I don't see how long speeches
by past, present or future stu fant
bo::ly presidents adds much to
the ceremon," he went 011. "No,
I'm not in favor of dropping
graduation, but I know I'd like
to see it changed."
The dilemma that seem:, to be
mentioned mcst often by students
and faculty alike is how to make
graduation mt~aningful to those
participating.
"We have to remember that
the students are the priority in
this ce rem,_ ,'1y," s:iid Merrill.
"The comm,mity college wo'Jld
be doing a service to everyone
if they involved a high level of
student activisim in planning
graduation. This should be 'their'
day. A lot could be done to the
grad·uation activities- - it could be
different every timt~."
Possible options were cited
by Bert Dotson, assistant to the
P r e s i ct e n t. "We c o u l d go
f r o m no g r ad u at i o n at all
to the most elaborate of ceremonies," he said. We want

to zero in on the type of graduation
the students want. Lo:>king at it
objectively, as far as the faculty
is concerned, we'd just as so:>n
forget graduations.
"We'd like to find out what the
students, staff and commnnity
want-what are their feelings? We
sho'lld talk to individual members
of the community," Dotson elab- ·'
orated. "to people taking the adult
education classes--p er haps to
people who will never take part
in graduation at all."
Another aspect of the questio;1
involves the feelings O f the
vacational education major as
opposed to the opinions of those
in the college transfer program.
Dotson comm,3nted: , , I don't go
along with the idea that graduation

vocational people than to the

brought up that, whereas 011e
will conclude his education the
latter will automatically go on to

This isn't

Family Counseling Service
to hold meeting October 30
A film entitled '' Parent to
Child About Sex" was shown to
an over-flow audience in the
Fo:rum Building at Lane Oct. 16.
The film was shown as part of
the Fall term co:irse, "Sex Education for Parents," offered by
Adult Educatio.!l in their Fa~11ily
Living Series.
The film was planned to give
interested parents the necessary
information to aid them in handling their children's sex education. After the film, the audience
separated into several smaller
groups to exchange ideas and experiences on the s11bject under
the direction of trained volunteers provided by the Junior Service League.
Some of the discussion covered
topics such as "How and when do

I teach my child about sex if he
doean't ask questions?" "How
do I deal with misinform,:dneighbor's children?" "How do Iteach
morals without instilling guilt?"
The next meeting of the course
will be at 7:30 in the Forum Building on Oct. 30. John Cockrell,
M. D., a Eugene obstetrician, will
lecture on "Methods and Techniques of Contraception" as part of
the program on "Planning a
Family." The program is organized for LCC by Family Counseling Services of Lane County,
a private, non-profit group directed by soc i a I worker Vern
Faatz. There is no charge for
attendance. Further information
may be obtained at 342-3051 or
747-4501.

Oregon Technical Institute and

Under this program a student
receives a bachelors degree in
Construction Technology after
taking two years at each college.
Bob Gault, Carl Blood, and
Jed Merrill of the drafting, mapping, and civil engineering programs, went to Klamath Fall$,
Octo. 17, to start setting up the
program.

Tne Flying Titans Club is deador breathing with difficulty!
German Ellsworth, head of the
LCC flying club, stated that
though the first year enrollment
in 1966 was 20 memwrs, there
now seems to be no one interested
in rescuing the dying club.
Ellsworth attributed the d-~mise of the membership to the
newer Flight Technology program started in 1967 and to the
fact that many of the newer students are mar r i e d or holding
part-timr~ jobs.

could be an appropriate place for
a joi.nt, all-race, cultural exchange center where materials
and information might be disseminated. Room 234 on the east
side of the LRC would be suitable
for a study center and an Upward Bound program where tutors could get together with students who need academic help.
Several of the faculty have agreed to aid programs started in

No-fine policy on books
adopte d by LCC library

to hold meeting

"Dear Liar," a play with only
two characters, easily succeeded
in ho Id in g audience interest
during its two-night run in the
Forum Theatre at LCC on Oct.
17 and 18. The success of the production
can be atributed to its stars,
Gwen Jackson and Fred Pattle,
who turned in excellent performances under the direction of
Ed Ragozzino, Chairman of Performi ng Arts at LCC.
I am too a pacifist!

The play, a biography in two
acts written by Jerome Kilty,
is the story of one of the world's
great literary romances--that of
George Bernard Shaw and Mrs.
Patrick Campbell, who exchanged
correspondence during a 40-year
period._It is a tribute to the talent
of Shaw and Mrs. Campbell that
their letters contain sufficient wit
and drama that they could be
read virtually verbatim from the
stage.
The production was extremely
well received by the audience
which gave the actors two curtain calls.

will be at home Friday for the

The Titans, .while being one
of the youngest teamf; in the

Coach Al Tarpenning will take
his winning tro0p of runners
east over the mountains Saturday
for a five-way cross co::.mtry
battle at Bend. The rigoro'ls
four-mile run will get under way
at ll:00.
Lane, the pre-meet favorite
after upsetting highly rated Mt.
Hood last Saturday, will vie with
Treasure Valley, Salem Tech,
Clatsop Community College, and
host, Central Oregon, for the
winning honors.
The Titans will be led by Jan
McNeale, who has been the individual winner in all four of Lane's
cross country meets this year,
including a thrilling upset win
over Mt. Hood's Dave Boggan
last week.
Also high on the list for Lane
will be Hugh Helickson. Helickson, who finish.ad tenth last week
at Mt. Ho:>1, while nursing a cold,
is almost recovered, and should
be ready to go at full stride.
John McCray, Mike Allen, and
Gaylan Littlejo~n will also be
counted on for a Lane victory.
McCray finished fifth last week
at Mt. Hood, while Allen and
Littlejohn finished t we Ith and
thirteenth, respectively.

everyone was expecting between
McNeale and Mt. Hood's Dave
Boggan never came about. McNeale jogged around with Boggan
for about a mile, and then just
took off and ran the last three
miles of the rocky asphalt surface by himself.
M c Ne a I e ' s winning time of
21:38.4 was an overwhelming 29
seconds ahead of Boggan's.

Coach Tarpenning and his runners are now 3-1, with two meets
remaining.

Education is essential for almost anything. Without education
a person could hardly get anywhere. In professional s:ports a
team cannot consistently win until
they are thoroughly educated to
their gam.:a . A good example of
this is the New York Mets--the
darlings of the National League,
the team that couldn't do anything right. For the past seven
years they were the laugh-ins
of baseball. Everything they did
was wrong. They couldn't throw
a baseball--let alo~e catch o!le.

for Foreign
students
Sixty to sixty-five foreign students from 16 different countries
are attending LCC this term.
The prime difficulty enco:mtered by foreign students at Lane
is the English language. Assistance in English is available in the
Study Skills Center from 10:00
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. daily from Mrs.
Ken Erickson, who formerly
worked with the Oregon State
Language Institute Program. Additional help is given by Mrs.
Celeste Schneid9r in her Writing
10 classes, Monday, Wendesday
and Friday at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00
p.m. In addition, Mrs. Schneider
teaches Adult Basic Education
classes in Eng;lish as a second
language at South Eugene High
School from 7:00 to·9:00 p.m. o~
Monday and Thursday. The foreign students help to pay for these
services by paying $400 tuition
rather than the $60 charged indistrict students.
Additional tutoring help from
local students in different subjects would be appreciated, and
students would have an area in
which to work. Irene Parent,
foreign student counselor, states
that tutors could interpret information from lectures o r books
and help the foreign stud~nts
