The award recognizes Cox's 35-year career in the field of vocational education, a career f Casting beg ins for musical Casting for "Your Own Thing," a rock musical based on Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," began Monday, Feb. 2, in Forum 301. Tryouts are scheduled to run Feb. 3, 5, 9 and 11. The musical, which won the Tony Award for best musical in 1968, is being directed by Performing Arts Chairman Edward Ragozzino and conducted by LCC Music professor Nathan Cammack. Cammack is already incorporating addition a 1instrumentation with the original score. "Your Own Thing," the last production for this year, will open May 1 in the Forum Theatre. which includes serving as assistant director, then director, of the old Eugene Technical-Vocational School. The technical school was the nucleus around which Lane Community College was formed in 1964. Cox received an Industrial Arts Degree from Colorado State College in 1934, but was unable to locate a position in his field due to scarcity of jobs. For two years he taught chorus and directed the operetta and senior play at the high school in Gill, Colorado. He _ then moved to the Las Animas, Colorado, high school to teach industrial arts. In 1940, Cox moved to Astoria, Oregon, where he was a shop teacher at the high school. He came to the Eugene TechnicalVocational School as assistant director in 1945 and became director four years later. LCC brought the status of a college to the vocational school, stated Cox, and a 600 FTE enrollment, which EVTS was approaching, was met by LCC during the first Fall Term alone. The vocational student was looked down upon through the '50' s, Cox pointed out, but ''now, just the Toelken presents Tuesday concert The world of old New England folklore and ballad will c o me alive at LCC Tuesday, Feb. 3. Barre Toelken, a renowned folk and ballad singer, will present concerts at LCC at 11 :00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. in Forum 309. Toelken is currently an Associate Professor of English at the University of Oregon, where he teaches courses in medieval literature, folklore, myth and traditional narrative. Among Toelken's accomplishments are three record albums and three series of radio programs which are played weekly at more than 100 college and university stations. He has pre- sented concerts and lectures at more than 50 universities and colleges and at folk music festivals. Toelken primarily sings ballads that have come down through oral tradition. Some of his songs come from singers in his own family, some from singers in the Southern mountain highlands and in the West, where he has spent most of his time collecting folklore. Since he grew up in a family of singers and musicians in rural New England, his singing style is that of the unadorned Puritan or ''plain" singing traditional in that area. as s o c i at ion and the wording 'community college' have literally changed the thinking, because the students are going to college." Cox cited other benefits which came with the merger, including improvement in the quality of teachers and teaching as more vocational teachers work for academic degrees and specialists in subject matter are available to students. Another advantage to the LCC-EVTS merger is that more federal funds, particularly for the disadvantaged, are available. In predicting future trends, Cox noted more on-the job-training, splitting of time between classroom and job training, and a broadening of existing programs as technology develops. He also anticipates more coordination with Oregon State University and Oregon Technical Institute, and the requirement of four-year degrees in some technical fields. Torch editorship selection near Applications for the position of Editor of The Torch for spring, 1970, through winter, 1971, are now being accepted by the LCC Media Commission.

Miles tickets own car After tick~ing and having cars towed away last Monday, Jan. 26, John Miles, campus security officer, found it a bit embarrassing Wednesday, Jan. 28, when he ticketed his personal car for being illegally parked. Miles parked his car across from the Electronics Building, just outside the posted parking zone, and left in the campus security car to patrol. He stated he usually moves his car to the staff parking lot, but forgot to do so Wednesday. At approximately 11 :30 a.m., a student called a tow truck to Beatles show to return to KLCC The Beatles will be blasting out their return to KLCC during an all request show Feb. 4 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. KLCC's first "Beatles" show was broadcast Dec. 10 and received lavish listener approval. As a result, a similar program is being offered tomorrow night.

The truck arrived and the operator proceeded to jack up the car and put a dolly underneath the rear wheels. He then backed the tow truck up to the car. At that point, Bill Cox, Dean of College Services, arrived and informed the tow truck operator that the college accepted no responsibility for the towing since it had not been cleared or ordered through his office. AU towing orders must be authorized through Dean Cox or John Miles. Students have no authority to order a car towed from the campus, and would be re s p on s i b I e for all charges involved. After checking with the towing company office, the operator removed the dolly and left.the campus. A short time later, Miles returned and moved his car. He also fined himself $5.00forparking illegally and paid the fine. As Miles' action shows, no one is exempt from being ticketed for violation of campus traffic and parking reg u I at ions. Faculty, staff, and administrators have received tickets as well as students, Miles reported.

Thefts reported Page 2 Editorial Comment WHEREAS, the Lane County Area Education District (Lane Community College) finds it necessary to levy a continuing district tax in order to meet growing enrollment demands and to provide such capital facilities including land, buildings and equipment to properly serve the people of the district and to continue its educational program and offer educational opportunities to all of the people of the district. THEREFORE, shall the Lane County Area Edu- cation District levy a continuing district tax for a period of 5 years in the amount of $1,500,000.00 each year, totalling $7,500,000.00 in all, requiring a maximum rate of $.88 per thousand dollars of true cash value of taxable property within the district deemed necessary to raise $1,500,000.00 each year, to be used for the purpose of providing funds for the acquisition of capital facilities, including land, buildings and equipment for use in connection therewith ? The serial levy is a week away, and it is vital that everyone realize its importance-vital because the outcome will affect tho.se students attending LCC within the next five years. The problem is overcrowding. LCC provides, at present, facilities for 4,500 full-tim•~ equivalent students, and that capacity will be exceeded this year. Since its inception, Lane has continually surpassed enrollment projections. The projected figure for 1975 is 8,200 FTE, but there are several factors which could make this figure conservative. For example, the State Board of Higher Education may find it necessary to place a ''lid" (limitation of the enrollmtmt quotient) on undergraduate as well as graduate enrollmtmt at fouryear colleges in Oregon. The needs of students unable to attend four-year schools because of this "lid" would have to be provided by community colleges, and enrollment at LCC could increase. Also, when American troops are withdrawn from O:r;-egon G.I.'s, Vietnam, a vast number of wanting to take advantage of the opportunities provided in the G.L Bill, many turn tocommunity colleges for their education. EnroHmtmt could increase further. Just as important is the possible effect of industry m.:)ving into the area. Industry attracts people; the more people, the greater the need for education. Projects, such as EWE B's proposed nuclear power plant could, by attracting employees and their families, eventually affect the enrollment of LCC. These are just a few factors which could increase the projected 8,200 FTE encollment figure for 1975. Yet, even if only 8,200 students enroll by 1975, Lane can't adequately provide for them in the space avaiable now. What if Lane continues operating without additional funds for construction, as it will be forced to do if the levy is not passed? Should this happen, LCC would eventually have to run at full capacity from about 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 or 12:00 p.m., utilizing every possible hour for classes. As enrollm,?nt increases, more student schedules would contain classes in early morning or late evening. Some would be stuck with a combination-early morning as well as late evening classes. Schedules like these would make attending Lane especially difficult for the commuting student and nearly impossible for those with jobs. As a result of scheduling problems, many students would take longer to complete required courses, simply would not be able to attend. Eventually, even with utlization of space at its fullest, there will be no room for more students. LCC would then have to be selective in choosing its students, and the open door to education at Lane Community College would have to be closed. Thus, in order to keep the college accessible to nearly everyone, LCC m•jst be expanded. The chosen means of expansion is a five-year serial levy. Why a five-year serial levy rather than a m,Jre modest three-year levy? Both alternatives were considered by the Board of Education before the five-year levy was selected. A minor consideration is the practical problem involved in a three-year levy. The more frequent the elections, the greater the possibility and probability of defeat--even if the accumulative amount of the levies is the samI; as that proposed in one larger levy. Also, elections are expensive and each one held requires spending tax dollars. A more important consideration is the position in which a three-year levy would place the college. The three-year levy would provide just enough money to complete the cam.,;ms, as originally planned , for 6,500 _FTE students. Providing "just enough" money for predicted needs (particularly when those predictions are for only a three-year period, and when past predictions have consistently been exceeded), would leave Lane operating on a marginal basis. It would just be able to "keep up," if that. With just enough funds, LCC couldn't be flexiable in m~eting changing needs in education and industry. Flexibility has been one of LCC; s great virtues--as needs changed, LCC has changed to mt~et them-,if funds were available to do so. If funds are available only for m,~eting currently anticipated, or "imm•~diate", needs, major revision of planning is required if those needs change or increase. By the time changing or increasing needs are recognized and planned for, more funds are requested and approved, space is provided, and the programs initiated, LCC could be educationally antiquated--and students would be the unintentional victims. Planning for other than, and having money available beyond, the requirements of" immediate needs," doesn't m,~an that money will be spent im1mdiately or floolishly. If additional state or federal funds materialize to supplemimt local funding through the serial levy, that simply means that LCC will have a reserve and will not require additional construction funds from the voters while that reserve is available. If such funds don't appear, LCC is not locked into immediate needs and plans by a three year levy. The cost to the local taxpayers of expanding LCC under the five-year serial levy would be $7. 5 million, or $1.5 million per year for the next five years. This figure translates into a maximum of 88~ per thousand dollars of true cash value of taxable property. That amount should decrease with each successive year. If funds are to be provided for expansion, the only realistic alternative to a serial levy would be a bond issue. Financing through bonds, however, would cost taxpayers an additional $5 million in interest over a twenty-year period. In contrast, a serial levy is "pay-as-you-go" financing with no interest and is, in the long run, a much less expensive program. The success of the serial levy 'Could depend very much on the students and staff of LCC.

Apathy or over-confidence about the outcom,3 of this election will cause its defeat. ·saturday and evening classes being considered Saturday and evening classes are being considered to enable students to complete getting their degrees in 3 or 4 years by attending Saturdays and evenings. Gerald Rasmussen, Assistant Dean of Instruction, said his office has been studying the possibility for the last two weeks.

In another decision, the Senate voted to send a letter of apology to Abdullah(Joseph McClean), a classical-folk singer who performed at LCC Jan. 29. According to his contract with the Senate, Abdullah was to be paid $75 after his performance. Due to a mix-up, payment was delayed. The $75 has since been sent to the performer, along with the Senate apology. In a unanimous decision, the Senate voted to relieve ASB Treasurer Paul Homewood of his duties. A new treasurer will be selected at the next regular Senate meeting Feb. 5. Thursday, Jan. 29. Included in the collection are p i c tu re s providing an intimate vie w of actual wartima conditions.

The Spec i a 1 Trainings Programs, directed by Larry M11rray, involve individuals who, because of low income, incom..,lete high school education, or other circumstances, need to learn som•~ employable skill. The program focuses mainly on 80 to 85 stud e n ts enrolled in clerical skills, plus a few trainees in we 1ding and building maintenance. '' A high school dropout who hated school and now has enough courage to return, needs some special consideration." Th e program's b as i c philosophy is that "w•~ take the student when she is ready to go to school, not when school is ready to begin." Therefore, there is no registration deadline. In fact, two new students were expected to enter LCC on Monday, Feb.2. While course credits and requirem,:!nts are comparable to other programs at LCC, the students are allowed to progress at their own rate of speed. In addition to basic shorthand and typing skills, the clerical trainee receives a foundation in office procedures, business math and machines, keypunch, and accounting. In addition, a civil service examination is given as part of the course. While the curriculum ,~m1-1hasizes job training it is intendened to help the students mflet other needs, states Mary Merrill, instructor in the clericalprogram .. Grades are part of the system, but their importance is deemphasized. Mrs. Merrill says she prefers to find answers to such questions as "how is the student doing?", "How_ is she functioning as a person?" "Is she willing to learn?" other, they learn their subjects and improve their verbal communication. Only when one knows and understands something can she explain it to someone else. SI ow learners are encourged when they understand that many employers would rather have som~one who is really interested in learning the job, than to have som,:!one who ''knows all the answers." While the main purpose of the program is to teach an employable skill, the students are encouraged to take enrichment courses to develop other interests.

According to some, educators across the country are largely unaware of the potential value of the cassette, a compact tape recorder using snap-in tape cartridges. Dr. Howard F. Bird, Director of Study Skills at Lane, is not one of the unaware. "We've acquired 34 of the cassettes," said Bird. "Although we cannot make them available to the general campus at this time we think this will prove to be an excellent opportunity." EDUCATIONAL SCREEN AND AUDIOVISUAL GUIDE magazine gave the following background on this newest addition to the educational family of gadgets: "An educator in 1965 predicted that one day students would use the tape recorder as commonly as the pen and typewriter. Such a development, he ma int a ine d, merely awaited the creation of a highly compact, relatively inexpensive, reasonably foolproof, durable machine with good fidelity. "Even as his prophecy was made, our technology was rapidly providing the means for its fulfillment. Today, the cassette recorder is perhaps the most available, yet most unrecognized available, yet most unrecognized, new medium for instruction we have." Claus Reschke, German instructor at Lane; told how the cassette and the community college found each other. "I at first thought to use the cassettes in the Adult Education program at Lane," said Reschke. "It had been my intention to bring the language lab right into the student's home. '' Although the Adult Education part of it fell through, I requested the college to purchase the cassettes for the language students to use through the Study Skills Center." Dr. Bird foresaw a date when take his lab time at all. "We'll take you w he re you the supply of cassettes might Bird and Reschke believe the '' If the students who make use investment was a good one.

Amateur radio operators--or "ham:," - -are for the most part very "turned-on" by th~ir electronic, globe-spanning a:tivities. There are currently over 250,000 amateur radio operators in the United States. Arthur Godfrey, Barry Goldwater and Curtis Lemay are am,.,ng well-known personalities currently possessing licenses. LCC faculty m,~mhers who currently hold, or have held, amateur licenses include "Mac" Mc Carro 11, Roger Houglum, Jam1~s Brock, Curt Raynes and Ralph Cook.

The Lane station is capable of transmitting on 160 m1~ters (low frequency), 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 The mt~ters (high frequency). higher frequency bands are used most often for long distance contacts, known in "hamology" as D.X. When a contact is made, a card known as a QSL card is sent to the person contacted, acknowledging the talk (known as a QSO\ The card is proof that the two operators have worked each other. A log of each transmission is required by th9 Federal Commnnications Commission (FCC), and contains broadcast date, timt! of transmission, frequency, and type of transmission. The call letters of the operator and station talked to are also noted. This log many timi?s reads like an international date line. Mccarroll hopes to encourage more LCC stu,1ents to get their amateur radio license and use L:1m's station whenever they get the urge to travel or sample life in far-away corners of the earth. The Radio Club will have its first meeting of the year Feb. 3 at 12:00 noon in the Electronics Lab. Anyone interested in "ham" radio is encouraged to attend, even if they do not have a "ham" ticket.

As the secondstringer slowly improves, the starter knows he must also im·· prove or he will b~ out of a job. Although pride is his most important attribute, the "Bench warmer" has one job which is more im;>0rtant to any team than anything else. The secondstringers must keep up the enthuasism and morale of the starters or the team will fall apart. On the field, most good athletes will say that they can blot 01t crowd noise, but not that yelling from the bench. If his own team is not behind him, the firststringer becomes just another p 1ayer instead of an A 11- American. Second-stringers spend their whole season on hard work and the chance of getting a break. Often a second-stringer will be pushed into the starting line-up when a starter is injured. Instead of being awe-struck, he goes out and does a very capable job. Many timns it is so capable that he lands himself a starting role and pushes the form2r starter back to the bench. A good exam.)le of this happened with the Cleveland Browns football team. At the start of the s Front Row (1. to r .)

(Photo by Curt Crabtree) "Second Stringers" are real force ·of team In all sports, there is one group of people who deserve a lot of credit hut usually receive none simply because their effects on a team are not noticed by the typical spectator. These are the players who sit on the bench most of the gam-3, better known as "second stri ngers." Without them, UCLA would not be A m ,? r i c a' s top collegiate basketball team, USC would be a push over on the football turf, and all other great team:, would be just average. This may sound funny because it is not the second stringer who makes the team num'Jer one. Tha first stringers actually play the gamt~ and are the heroes of the spectators. But what makes the first stringer as good as he is? Believe m,~, without somP. good back-up man, a first-stringer would be a player who never improves and whose team would never amount to anything. Highest on the second-stringers list is the idea of pride. He is just like Avis, wanting to be number one, but having just one obstacle in his way. And this appears to be a very firm~y entrenched obstacle, one which probably cannot be moved from its position. But because of his pride, the second-stringer R T season, their fullback was Ron J oh n s o n, a t w o - t i m •= AllAm ti rican from the University of Michigan. At the halfway point of the season, Johnson was injured slightly and Bo Scott, an unhearalded fullback from whoknows-where, becam t:• the starter. In a few weeks, Johnson was ready to play again, but found that he was now the bench warm er because Scott had taken over the numher one spot for good. So the next time you're at a sports event watching those guys on the bench jum11ing up and down, just rem,~mber that without them, the starters on the field would be running around like a bunch of scared jackrabbits. Basketball team awards bracelet To encourage teamwork, the women's basketball team awards to one team member after each game played a team bracelet to be worn until the next game. The award is made to the player showing outstanding teamwork during the game. After the women's game with Lower Columbia, Patti Lewis was selected as the outstanding player for teamwork. Wrestlers win one, drop two Don Murray, and Mike Pfaller. An of LCC's victories came by decision, as none of the wrestlers were able to register a fall. Central Oregon took advantage of two early forfeits to grab a quick lead and went on to defeat LCC 26-13. Individual wins came from Ron Henderson, Rich Culbertson (on a pin), and Mike Burk (on a forfeit). Coach Bob Creed was very impressed with his grapplers' performance in the absence of two outstanding wrest 1e rs. Von Bailey had the flue and undefeated Jim Mclrvin had a rib injury, so neither wrestler was able to compete. Coach Creed named Rich Culbertson the top wrestler of the week for his outstanding performance in Bend. Although Culbertson did lose one match, it was to last year's state champion, and Rich was very impressive even in defeat. other fine performances turned in by LCC wrestlers included three wins from Mike Burk, two apiece from Ron Henderson, Don Murray, and Mike Pfaller, and one victory by Rich Hoberg. Wrestling the top three teams in the OCCAA, LCC's grapplers came out with one victory and two losses in a four-school meet held Jan. 31 at Bend. Participants in the meet were LCC, Treasure Valley, Blue Mountain, and Central Ore go n Community College. In the competition, LCC picked up a victory over Treasure Va 11 e y for the first time ever, and lost to strong Blue Mountain and Central Oregon teams. In each of the matches, Lane gave 15 to 20 points to their opponents through forfeits before the matches even began. The Titans were able to fill only six of ten weight divisions. In the TVCC match, LCC won every match wrestled, as all Treasure Valley points came via forfeits. The final score was 28-15. Winners for LCC were Ron Henderson, Rich Culbertson, Mike Burk, Don Murray, Rich hoberg, and Mike Pfaller.

Thanks to good team play and execution, the Titans out-hustled and out-rebounded the taller Saints, and went into intermission with a shocking 41-28 lead. The second half was different though, as it turned out to be a scoring duel between Pardun and the Saints' Mel Farris. Both were fed the ball consistently throughout the game, but it was at the foul line where it made the difference. Four of the Saints' starting five were benched via fouls, and 24 of the Titan points came from the foul line. Lane was led on the floor by play-making guard, Mike Myers. EVERETT MAY AND TWO SAINTS scramble for the ball as it flys out of bounds. Lane won When he fouled out with 15 minutes remaining in the game, the Titans hit a cold strak, being out-scored 15-7.

Titans blast Clipperm en Coach Mel Krause and his Titan cagers got back to their winning ways last Friday night, Jan. 30, as they blasted the Columbia Christian Clippermen 97-76. The win halted a four game Titan loosing streak, and enabled coach Krause and his cagers to r e m a i n in contention for the OCCAA tit 1e. They are currently in fourth place with a 6-2 record. Blue Mountain is out in front with an unblemished 8-0 record. The Titans fell behind in the early going, but with 17:43 remaining in the half, Everett May's 15-foot jumper put the Titans out in front 7-6.

The Titans' height advantage proved the difference in the game, as they dominated the boards. With the rebounding advantage the Titans had, they ·were · able to pull of several fast breaks, and keep the Clippermen no closer than 20 points throughout the game. High man for the Titans was Tom Pardun, who canned 24 points. Bob Wagner had 16, May 14, and Greg Hoy dished in 11. For the Clippermen, Chr is Cowart and Greg Bradstreet each had 21 points. Page 8 Rep. Green presents plan for use of draftees Representative Edith Green of Oregon, long an advocate of withdrawal from Vietnam, has presented a bill to the House of Representatives with the objective of limiting the use of draftees, against their will, in an undeclared war. The maximum time a draftee could be kept in a combat situation in an undeclared war would be six months, as opposed to a year. Rep. Green's bill would provide the following: The President of the U.S. would be able to commit troops, both enlisted and drafted, for aperiod of ninety days without approval from Congress. At the end of the ninety days, the President must seek Congressional approval for a longer commitment of the same troops. If Congress does not approve, an armed force may remain but draftees would be replaced with enlisted personnel. With Congressional approval, or after rotating draftees, the P re s id e n t could leave troops committed ninety more days, giving him a total of six months in which to accomplish his ends. At the end of six months, the President would need a formal declaration of war from Congress in order to continue involvement. If Congress refused to declare war, the President would have to pull all troops out immediately. The rationale for the bill is the belief that American mi 1it a r y leaders and troops should be able to accomplish President goals in a six-month interval in a situation that calls for armed intervention but not actual war. If the situation proves so critical as to call for deeper involvement, the entire country would be mobilized and shift to a war economy, with everyone (including big business and heavy industry) contributing to the war effort. The government would thus be able to control war profits and charges against big business of exploiting a war would not be applicable. Labor dept. renews LCC grant A $70,946 renewal grant from the United States Dapartmnnt of Labor has been awarded to Lane Community College to train 40 wiemployed persons in clerical and secretarial skills over a 32-week period. The grant, made under the Manpower Development and Training Act (MDTA), provides 90 per cent of the cost of the training. The college provides the other _10 per cent of th-e cost "in kind" in the form of classroom space and administrative support. The college also recently rereceived word of a $18,000 renewal grant from the sam,~ agency for its short-term welding program, which trains 36 people per year. M_)TA program:, at LCC are operated in conjunction with the State Dapartmlmt of Em11Ioym~mt office at 680 Pearl St. in Eugene. Applications for the program~; usually run far ahead of the number of training positions available, but persons who are interested in applying m.1y do so by contacting the employm,?nt office and asking to speak to an MDTA counselor. The new clericaj. pr9gram grant will be user! to train two groups of unemployed persons, one of 25 students that begins im1m~diately and another for 15 students that will begin Feb. 23, according to Larry M,1rray, LCC director of special manpower training projects. Murray said the students will be trained as stenographers, clerk-typists, sec re tar i es or bookkeepers. He said approximately $20,000 of the grant will be used to administer the program and the other $50,000 will be used for "subsistence" payments to the trainees while they are in scho:>l. "Soul!," a variety-talk series produced by and starring topflight black professional talent, starts Wednesday, Feb. 4 at 10 p.m. over KOAP-TV, channel 10 , Portland, and KOAC-TV, channel 7, Corvallis.

Music will be interspersed with interviews with persons prominent in the news. Every fo_u r shows, "Soul!" will have a new host. Host for the first programs will be Curtis Mayfield, popular lead singersongwriter-guitarist of The Impressions. Performing arts on the first program will be King Curtis, musical director for "Soul!"; the Ki ngpins; The Impressions; The Three Degrees, a popular girls trio; Marion Williams, gospel and folk singer; rock artist Ben E.

National distribution of 20 new programs in the series is being made possible in part through a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Ford Foundation. Televis·'ion Oregana stops publication The Oregana, the University of Oregon's yearbook, ceased publication as of January 29. The annual publication, which dates back to 1902, was suspended by a unanimous decision of the University Publications Board, a student-staff committee. The general lack of interest in the yearbook by students was given as the reason for the decision. Only 150 copies of the planned 1970 volume had been sold. Those purchasers are expected to receive refudns, as are living organizations that purchased space in the book. The Publications Board, in conjunction with the resolution suspending the yearbook, • unanimously approved a statement exonerating this year's staff from any blame for the failure of the book to sell. The resolution stated that the suspension Meditation principles taught a lecture on Transcendental M,~ditation as taugpt by MAHARISHI MA.RESH YOGI . was presented to LCC students Thursday, Jan.22. sponsored by the Students' International Meditation Society (SIMS). The p·1rp0s~ of the lecture, by Thomas Wingquist. a stufont of MAHi\.R:"SH l was to give stu'.ients a basic un::ierstanding of MAHARISH ('S teaching. MAHARTSHl's method of mE.ditation does not conform to the popular misconception of "contemplating your navel."

The whole process is Linfield College eliminates failing grades from records McMinnville, Ore. -- Failing grades need no longer appear on a student's transcript at Linfield College. The faculty has passed a measure to make a student's transcript a record of satisfactory completion of rerequirements. The student now has the option of dropping a course at any time, even within 60 days after a final examination, and having the record of his enrollm<•nt removed from his transcript at his request. The innovation is one which has also been adopted recently at variety series to feature black entertainers "does not reflect an attitude that the production staff has failed in its job, but reflects a realization that there is no market for the yearbook." Sales of the Oregana (originally titled "The Webfoot") were good through the early 1960's, but declined in the middle of the decade. In 1966 about 33% of the student body purchased the yearbook. In 1967 this figure declined to 27%, in 1968 to 18%, and in 1969 to about 13%. Attempts to revive sales by changing from and annual to a quarterly publication schedule and by changing to a magazine for mat failed. Suspension of the O re g a n a leaves open the question of who will pay costs incurred thus far. Approximately $3,067 in income has been received from sales of the book and page s p a c e, and Stanford and Brown Universities. The philosophy behind this move is that a record of failure often precludes another chance in education or lessons acceptability in graduate school or employment. The record of failure often conceals personal difficulties which have nothing to do with the potential to com plete academic requirements satisfactorily, Linfield believes. Dr. Gordon C. Bjork, Linfield president, says, "We ought to rely on positive incentives and creative teaching to inspire superior performance." Linfield will require a 2.0 average for graduation and that a student be suspended for failure to complete fewer than five courses by the end of the first year, 10 courses by the end of the second year, 15 courses by the end of the third year, and 20 courses by the end of the fourth year. This would allow a student to complete his academic work in nine semesters, rather than eight, with no academic penalty. The number of courses required above applies after the fall of 1970 when Linfield goes on the three courses per semester system.

A s id e e ff e Ct of MAHARISHI'S mnditation is the release of tension. Scientific experiments have shown the process's W'.J.y of releasing tension has had amazing effects o,p,~o;iles' phys"iological and psychological h•?alth. To learn the process of meditation, a person m,1st attend two preliminary lectures, then sign up for four personal sessions with the instructor, Winquist. The instructor received training in India in a three-month teaching session from Mt~HA RISH C. $2,755 has been spent on photography and student staff salaries. Since most of the income has been spent, the Publications Board will ask Am?rican Yearbook, the publishing company for the yearbook, to refund money to subscribers and purchasers of page space. The contract with the company requires that American yearbook pay all losses for the book, as they did last year when The Oregana lost $3,000. The company is not obligated to pay, however, unless the book is published as planned. The Publications Board indicated that payment of costs resulting from suspension of the publica tion would probably be less than the deficit the company w o u 1d have to pay if the bookwerepublished. It is on this basis that the company will be approached. The fate of the Oregana is not unique. Several other yearbooks have folded at liberal arts institutions. The Eugene RegisterGuard indicated a possible reason for cessation of the yearbooks by commenting that liberal arts institutions are those where "tradition--the key element in most yearbooks--is generally held in low regard." Jackie Krowartz, editor of the 1970 Oregana, stated to the P u bl i ca ti on s Board: "There simply isn't a place for a traditional yearbook on this campus." Another possible factor for the Oregana's failure has been the difficulty in getting approval for a permanent system of purchasing the yearbook during registration, at the same time the student pays tuition and fees. This system is employed at Oregon State University, where 8,300 yearbooks were sold last year. A session on mi~ditation was held at the U of O as well as one at Lan=. A second lecture was delivered at the U of O Jan.22. After the lecture, somt1 62 to 65 students from the U of ,~i=:~ .-.IIIM--U DlL!llllw 0 and LCC signed up to take the four private sessions that began Saturday, Jan. 24.
