At the Bo a rd of Education
meeting Wednesday evening, Feb.
11, LCC President Robert Pickering praised the efforts of LCC's
staff members during the recent
serial levy campaign.
Despite those efforts, the
taxpayers said no at the polls
as the 7.5 million dollar levy
was soundly rejected. The final
vote tally showed 11,616 voters
opposed to the measure and 4,044
in favor. According to Marston
Morgan, Director of Institutional
Research, the next move will be
to analyze the public opinion
questionnaire distributed at the
polling places. Although not yet
completed, early tabulations of

the forms show the measure's
defeat is related primarily to resentment of Oregon taxpayers to
what they called the "excessive
burden" of property taxes. Little
resentment was indicated toward
LCC itself, but many people feel
victimized by inflation, impending recession and unemployment.
These views were reflected in
1,500 sample questionnaires. A
computerized breakdown of two
to three-t h o u s a n d responses
should be finished by next week.
In discussing the results of
the election, Pickering expressed
a desire for an advance commitment by civic groups as to their
feelings toward passage of such
a levy before presenting it to
the public for a vote.
The Board also agreed to ask
voters to approve ope rating
monies for the next college year
at the May 26 primary election.
No decision has as yet been made
on the amount to be requested or
whether it will take the form of
a request for a larger tax base
or funds beyond the six per cent
limitation.
In other business, the Board
appointed for _me r Eugene City

Media Commision to review policy

The LCC Board of Education
expressed concern at its Feb.
11 meeting that policies proposed
by the Media Commission might
limit freedom of the press.
The proposed policies of the
Commission, which acts as a
guiding commission for LCC
media were presented to the
Board by Karen Lansdowne,

A ra b $ f U den f d•I e 5
from heart attack
Abdulaziz Nasir, a21-year-old
LCC student m a j o ring in secondary education, died Tuesday,
Feb. IO, of a heart attack resulting
from a severe staph infection.
Nasir underwent open-he art
surgery for a faulty heart valve
two years ago at the University of
Oregon Medical School in Portland.
He was born February 7, 1948,
in Jaddah, Saudi Arabia. He lived
with his cousin, Mohammed
Kabli, and two roommates, Fahad
Sedairi and Abdul Sedairi, at
1920 Tabor Street in Eugene. His
family is in Saudi Arabia.
Nasir came to LCC from the
Language Institute in Corvallis,
and was a Saudi-Arabian Educational Scholarship student. This
was his second year at LCC.
After a prayer service at the
First Methodist Church in Corvallis Saturday, Feb. 14, Nasir's
body was shipped back to Jaddah
by the Saudi Arabian Educational
Mission. Funeral arrangements
we re handled by Poole and
Larson.

Bristow's term expires June 30.
Mrs. Lauris served 12 years
on the City Council and was Council president three times. She
is also active on the boards of

Lauris has not decJded whether
she will seek a four-year term
at the Board election May 4.
In further Board discussion,
the LCC ad m in i s t r at i on was
authorized to call for bids on a
classroom and laboratory building. At a cost of about l.3 million
dollars, the building will be financed from funds already on hand.
After lengthy discussion, the
Board shelved, for the time being,
a professional I eave plan for
teachers. The plan, presented by
Staff P e rs on n e l Policy Committee Chairman Paul Ma 1m,
would allow a teacher one quarter of leave time at two-thirds
pay for each six quarters of
teaching time. In this way, an
instructor would be able to attend
seminars and work sessions in
order to keep abreast of developments and up-date his classroom
material. There was some concern that the program would be
too expensive.
A discussion of operatingpolicy of the LCC Media Commission
resulted in a request by temporary com mission c ha i rm an
Karen Lansdowne that individual
Board members submit recommendations to the Media Commission. The Media Commission
will study the recommendations
and present the completed policy
to the Board at next month's
meeting.
among other considerations,
the Board agreed to permit the
Forestry Club to cut up and sell
downed trees at the South edgeof campus. Profits from sale of
the firewood will be used to improve the Southeast campus picnic area. Also, a new course
in elementary ethics was approved and a revision of logging
planning was authorized.

"I've gotten to the place where
I want to concentrate on teaching

Editorial Comment

LCC's proposed five-year serial levy fell
victim to the mood of Lane County voters. President Pickering said it in a post-election news
conference, stating his belief that most of the
almost 12,000 votes cast against the levy were
votes against higher taxes, and not necessarily
votes against the college itself.
The 7.5 million dollar expansion proposal
would have provided the college with added
facilities for which the need, according to LCC
Business Manager William Watkins, was "critical." The one-and-a-half year old campus was
designed to accommodate the equivalent of 4,500
full time students. This number has been exceeded by 200 already.
The college is therefore faced with the obvious
question: what now? In an interview with the
Eugene Register-Guard, college administrators
agreed that if the defeat should occur, Lane's
"open door" would have to be partially or completely closed until additional construction money
is obtained. Further ramifications could include
a limitation on new programs and expansion of
existing plans; a t:rBnd toward larger classes
and possibly a forced de-emphasis on vocational
education; continued use of "dilapidated temporary classrooms" and increased rental of
non-college facilities off campus.
Voters, faced this year with a large, depressing· array of tax levies, apparently did not
interpret Lane Community College's needs as
being that of a "crisis" nature. Perhaps they
were right. It depends on one's definition of
"crisis." The defeat of the serial levy will
certainly not force the college to close down
completely. If one's interpretation of crisis
ends at that point, last Tuesday's loss may be
easily shrugged off. It is to be realized, however, that without sufficient support, the philosophy and policies of LCC will be forced to undergo change.

Letters to the Editor

Lane County voted a community college into
existence. The voters, realizing the success and
potential of the new institution, then cast ballots
in favor of building and furnishing a brand new
campus. Success continued as enrollment doubled,
then tripled. Last Tuesday was a major turning
point. Voters had the option of continuing to back
a college that had exceeded nearly everyone's
expectations, or to call a halt, in effect, to LCC's
continued growth and progress. For reasons of
which we cannot be sure, Lane County voters
chose the latter option.
Any objections we might make in this space
would mean very little in the face of three to
one voter disapproval. LCC is, after all, Lane
County's own college. The voters had a choice
to make--and they made it. Here are some
possible results of that decision: LCC's "open
door enrollment," smaller class situation. and
the unique aspect of a balance between vocational
and college transfer instruction may well become
things of the past. Our only response can be that
of regret. With the passing of the "open door"
philosophy, LCC would differ very little from
Eugene's Uniwirsitv of Oregon. Once again the
spectre of low high school grades would compel
"border-line" students to turn away from higher
education.
This is the voter's perogative. We acknowledge that the property owner carries a large
tax burden as it is. We further acknowledge
that the approval of a serial levy would have
increased the weight of this burden. It comes
down to a question of priorities.
If the voters believe that the needs of a community college providing quality education are not
as important as other things--well and good. But
in years hence, when it is remt~mbered that costs
and educational value were placed on a democratic
scale, let is also be remembered that the public
got exactly what it paid for.

of his life as a driver of various
vehicles. We nodded our heads
frequently, as did the other two
passengers, and hoped that he'd
decide to get going soon.
He drove off with just the four
of us, which encouraged him to
keep up his monologue. I guess he
figured he'd take advantage of
his captive audience.
Trying to ignore the driver's
constant babble, my companion
and I began talking. Somehow we
got on the subject of children,
and soon I knew all about her
brilliant eleven year-old son who
loved U.S. History and was very
interested in the American Indians.
Meanwhile the bus had let both
of the other passengers off. When
my new acquaintance had to get

off I was rather sad; now the bus
driver had me all to himself and
I had to ride clear to the end
of the line. I soon learned how
it felt to drive a taxi and the
throughts one has when driving a
shcool bus. Finally, the end of
the line came, and I got off with
a goodbye and a thank you and
set out on my eight-block walk
home.
Ten minutes later I was
stretched out on my bed trying
to forget the preceeding two hours
and twenty minutes. What an
experience! What a relief to be
home! What a shock to find out
that my car had still not been
fixed and that I would have to
ride the bus home again the next
day!

Ad Agency approved; seeks funds
An exp e rime n tin the advertising and promotion of LCC activities is taking shape.
Jack Whisenhunt, First VicePresident of the A.SB, is the originator of a plan for an LCC advertising agency and, with the
help of ASB Corresponding Sec retary Nancy Dillon, hopes to
have the agency in operation as
soon as funds are available.
The agency proposal was presented to the Student Senate re-

cently and passed by a 19 to 7 research to determine student

supplies and secretarial wages problems and the solutions they
has been requested from the Sen- would propose.

"Great Teacher" search underway
The search for LCC's "Great
Teacher" is underway.
The teacher selected for the
annual award will represent LCC
at the Great Teacher Seminar,
sponsored by the American Association of Junior Colleges, at
Westbrook Junior College in
Portland, Maine, from August 18
through 26.
One hundred teachers from the
.,ation's community colleges will
attend the ten-day workshop to
discuss such topics as remedial
and developmental p rob 1e ms,
planning for innovation, current
learning theories and theirpractical application to teaching, and
ways to increase individual productivity.
Jed Merrill of Industrial Technology stressed the importance of
LCC's presence at the seminar
by stating "We are one of the few
schools in the West represented
in this event."
Nomination petitions for the
"Great Teacher" may be submitted e it he r by students or
faculty and are available in the
President's office. Those nominated must be full-time instructors and must be able to attend
the summer seminar. Expenses
will be paid by LCC. Student
petitions must have at lease 20
signatures or 1/5 the enrollment
from the teacher's classes. Faculty nominations must have at
least two faculty signatures.
A Staff Personnel Policy Commission s u r v e y questionnaire
will be 1;iven to students of the

nominees and, based upon their
results, six finalists will be chosen. The questionnaire will evaluate the teacher in such areas
as presentation of subject matter, grading, and personal characteristics. Each question has
a range of points from 1 to 6
which students may assign the
instructor.
A s e 1e ct ion committee com-

posed of four faculty members
and four students will make the
final decision. The committee
will have representatives of both
occupational and transfer areas.
President Pickering will act as
committee chairman.
The deadline for turning in
nominations and the date of final
s e 1e c t i on will be announced
shortly .

culum in the future.
One suggested means of getting
student opinion and reactions is
the use of survey questionnaires,
and part of the function of the ad
agency would be preparing and .
administering questionnaires on
request. "The questionnaire is
the basic research tool," Whisenhunt said.
Besides working in advertising
and promotion, the agency would
a 1so serve as an information
agency from which students could

receive information related to the
campus. Whisenhunt views it as
a coordination of all information
so that any aspect of campus life
would be readily available in one
place.
Advisers for the ad agency will
be Bert Dotson, College Community Services; Don Johnson, of
the Office of Information and Publications; and Bob Johnson, instructor in business advertising
and marketing.

through 3/4" plywood.
Competitive tournament shooting is a growing sport, and
archery competition will become
an Olympic e v e n t starting in
1972. Oregon has 46 archery
clubs which are affiliated with
the state organization, c a 11 e d
the Oregon Bow Hunters, and
the Nation a 1 Field Archery
Association. The NF AA claims
some four million members in
the U.S.
The bow and arrow are also
popular in hunting. The modern
bow hunter has demonstrated its
power and versatility with his '
performance i n the field. Every
big game animal known to man
has been taken with a bow. Bow
hunter Bob Swinehart completed
the big game list in 1968 by killing
a 6,000 pound rhino with a single
arrow. ,

Pickering presented a brief sur- their current problem and the

method they were employing to
solve it through the use of an
analogue computer. Throughout
the afternoon our t e a m found
many such situations in the LCC
community. Industrial Technology, Science, Business Skills,
Electrical Tech no 1o g y, Mass
Communications, Air and Autom o t i v e Technology, Carpentry
and the Special Training Program were a few of the areas
included in our walk through the
futuristic structure that comprises Lane Community College.
Throughout the campus, stu-

dents gathered to participate in
question and answer sessions
with each of the council members.
Judging from the reactions ofthe
participants, the experience was
stimulating, enlightening and exciting in its scope and promise.
A sumptuous buffet featuring
roast boar was excellently prepared under the direction of Merlin Ames, Food Supervisor.
Rounding out the evening, the LCC
Choir, under the direction of
Wayte Kirchner, performed a
variety of choral selections. A
reading by Ed Ragozzino, Chair-

man of the Performing Arts Department, was also presented.
Following dinner, the council
and participants retired to one
of the comfortable lounge areas in
the Center Building for a period
of discussion and evaluation in
which the day's informality was
continued.
Listening to the comments of
the men on the council, I found
myself stimulated and excited as
they related their perceptions of
the day's experience. Responses
were honest, open, and in some
instances they reflected con-

These were the findings of the
Nixon administration when it investigated the problem of reading

structive criticisms. LCC 1 s present utilization of space was complimented. However, Don Griswold indicated a need to plan now
for future needs. Most members
agreed that LCC is a maximized
environment where the learning
process could take place. In
reference to students, they felt
that Lane's student body reflected
interest, seriousness and direct
concern with today's many problems.
Taking a practical view, Bill
Suiter initiated discussion of
idealism and practical implementation of interaction among
the varying factors involved. Is
LCC relevant, he asked, as a
source of talent for business,
industry, labor, government and
education?
In a conversation with President Pickering Monday afternoon,
he felt the council's first meeting
was a successful beginni ng ofaction and interaction by which we
of LCC can improve our college
for the common man.
Speaking for myself, the experience was val u ab l e, interesting and informative. Questions have formed in my mind:
What is Lane Community College? How may we, as students,
help implement thi s program to
bring about maxi mum benefits for
all people concerned?
Members of the National Advisory Council paid their own
expenses to attend this initial
meeting, which Lane administration, faculty and local advisory
council (LIBEC) made a reality.
The council members are considering dates for the next meeting, to be held sometime in the
Fall of 1970, depending on their
schedules.
What course may we, as students, pursue to lend assistance
to this _invaluable beginning?

Ninety-six ADC scholarships aid LCC, U of O students FLS

Eighty-six people now at LCC
and ten at the University of Oregon are in school through scholarships provided by the Lane
County Aid to Dependent Children A s s o c i at ion, Legislative
Chairman Loretta Daniel t o 1d
ADC members at a meeting at
LCC Tuesday, Feb. 10.
Of those on ADC scholarships,
80 earned higher than average
grades last term. Eight were on
the Dean's list, and 23 made the
honor roll.
·In reviewing the work of the
Scholarship Committee, Mrs.
Daniel said the Lane County group·

has been responsible for pushing
through appropriate legislation
which enables organizations such
as ADC associations to receive
three matching federal dollars
for every scholarship dollar solicited locally.
Scholarships up to $400 a year
are awarded to ADC recipients,
solely on the basis of need. Unlike some other funded programs,
the recipients are not required
to follow any prescribed curriculum or take a minimum number
of hours.
Applicants, screened solely by
the ADC committee, include teen-

age youths whose parents are on
ADC and have no other way to
get post-high school training,
mothers who wish to learn a
skill so they can become selfsupporting, and a few men who
have been unable to get training
through other agencies.
The Lane County association,
which has been a pioneer in scholarship funding, is trying to get
all Oregon counties to start scholarship programs, Mrs. Daniel
said. This program, which is
unique to Oregon, has created
nationwide interest, with contributions being received from as
far away as Massachusetts.
In discussing growingneeds,
Mrs. Daniel compared the 1,000
• Lane County ADC recipient families of four years ago with the
2,010 on the program today.
'' Poor people need the oppor- ·
tunity to go to school," she said.
For every person who applies or
receives a scholarship, there are
35 or 40 others who need it.
.A state-wide ADC-sponsored

Walk for Development to solicit
funds will be held this year, with
all money going to the respective
counties for scholarship aid.

Mrs. Daniel also told the audience th&y should become "involved" both as individuals and
as a group. "Most of all we need
concerned people among our own
group. We need help and ideas
on how to change things. We
need to help others, as we were
helped. Remember, most of the
people in this county are just
one paycheck away from welfare."
Geraldine Jones, president of
the ADC association, will speak
on the we l fa re situation at a·
conference on urban affairs to be
held at the U of O Feb. 18.

The Lane County association
will provide the leadership for a
Poverty Conferences ch e du 1ed.
for June 13 and 14 at Willamette
University in Salem. Goals of the
conference include provision for
a federation of poor people.

Transformer causes odor in Study Skills

An over-heated transformer
caused quite a stir in the LCC
Study Skills - Center on Friday
morning, Feb. 13.
A bad odor was detected by
the first two students entering
room 407 at 9:00 a.m. "It smelled
like burning wire," one of them
later reported. These two were
soon joined by secretaries from
the Study Skills office. A hunt
for burning cigarette butts and
faulty plug-ins began.
By that time, the odor was
floating down the hall, and various
concerned people began showing
up. An LCC Security officer was
among then ew"sniffers"present. The officer and two others
cleared the room of spectators
and began a search for the cause
of the mcreasing burnt smell.
Meanwhile, the fire department

was called.
Accelerated Reading students,
usually in room 407 that hour,
were ushered into a room in the
back of the Study Skills Center
before the cause of the odor could
be found. Lat er, they were to
learn the cause of their evacuation.
The Goshen Fire Department
arrived, only to find that the
p r o b 1e m had been located. A
fluorescent light transformer had
over-heated and the tar at the
end of the light began to smell.
When the odor got into the ventilating system, the result was a
g,reat deal of concerned hurrying
and scurrying.
An hour later, the air was beginning to filter out, and the
section returned to normal.

discusses
communication
during meeting

'' An open line between two
equals" was the definition of
communication presented by Ken
Naiziger at 13>-e Family Living
Series meeting F'eb. 12. He and
his wife, Claudine, were guest
speakers on the topic "The Impo rt an c e of Communication."
The topic for the series as a
w ho 1e is understanding adolescence.
- Mr. Naiziger spoke on verbal
means of communication, and
presented three major premises
in communicating.
The first premise is that both
people communicating are human
be in gs. People tend to pigeonhole other people, Naiziger said,
and make assumptions such as
parents having more knowledge
than adolescents because they
have lived longer.
The second premise of communication is that people do not
listen. Most people are so busy
• deciding what they want to say
they are not really listening to
others and tend toward pre-.
•
formed conclusions.
The fin a 1 premise presented
was communication is a sharing
of perspectives and is not right
or wrong, good or bad.
Mrs. Naiziger's presentation
dealt with non-verbal communication. Most communication, she
said, is IO% verbal and 90% nonverbal . Facial expressions and
body posture can be revealing of
a person's thoughts, and if verbal and non-verbal communication conflict, the listener
should attempt to determine why.
The next session of the Family
[Living Series will be February 26
at 7:30 p.m. in Apprenticeship
219. The guest speaker, David
Harper from the Lane County
Juvenile Department, will speak
on "Parent-Youth Conflicts."

Two teams have perfect records
as intramural season comes to close
With only three games remaining in the regular season, Lane's
intramural basketball teams are
in a mad scramble for tournament berths. At the season's
end, the top four squads will enter tournament action to decide

the LCC championship.
Steve Harper's Beavers and
Bi 11 Line's Springfield "J's"
seem shoo-ins for tournament
spots. Both are balanced ball
clubs and post unblemished 4-0
records. Lynn Johston's Miso-

,

gynists seem almost certain of
nailing down anotherpost-season
berth. The fourth tourney spot
seems a toss-up between Brent
Fulp's Trojans and Loyd Kildal's
Lards.
In last week's action, the Beaver's defeated the Trojans 60-47.
In this Tuesday, Feb.IO, contest,
the Beavers pulled away in the
closing minutes to record their
fourth victory of the season. The
Be ave rs, who have lost the
services of high scoring guard Ed
Dillenger due to military obligations, were paced by John Youngquist's 16 points. Steve Armitage
led the losers with 14.
In Tuesday's other contest, the
L a rd s defeated the Unknowns
74-57. The Lards fought off a
fourth-quarter surge to nail down
the victory. High point man for
the Lards was Derald Mann, who
ripped in 35 points. The Unknowns
were paced by the Grants Pass
flash, Dale Paul, who fired in
21.
On Thursday, Feb. 12, Lynn
Johnston's Misogynists easily
defeated Dan McLaughlin's
Couldnotthinkofone's 67-44. Marist's Jim Bauer paced the winners with 14 points while Mike
Then~ll grabbed game honors by
scormg 19 for the losers.
In Thursday's other contest,
BillLine'sSpringfield"J's"demolished Marty Martin's It's so
Big 104-61. The winners broke
open a close contest in the second
period en route to their lopsided
win. Springfield's Gary Bates
paced the winners with 31 points
while Toledo's Pete Light chipped in 20 for the It's so Big.
This week's schedule is as
follows.

After their defeat by Clark Jr.

basketball team came back Sahlurday, Feb. 7, and downed Tongue Point 41-15.
The Tongue Point girls were
plagued with fouls as five of
their eleven players fouled out
of the game.
According to Miss Daggett,
coach of the LCC team," Tongue
Point had difficulty finding the
basket in the first quarter and
w a s unable to break out shifting

Thurston 'Rally Squad

Thurston High School varsity
rally squad members will appear
Feb. 18 in colorful clown costumes to perform a musical number for the children in the Child

The performance is scheduled
for 9 a.m. in the Child Development Center of the Health Building.
The routine was first developed
as half-time entertainment for
a basketball game, but received
better-than-average response
from spectators because of unique costuming and movement.
The group will bring its own
music, taped by the Thurston
Pep Band.

The Titan matmen ended their
dual meet season on a winning
note Saturday , Feb. 14, with a
19-15 triumph over visiting SouthWest Oregon Community College.

Titans perfect host; OCE wins 85- 69
Lane's basketball squad proved
itself the ideal host Saturday,
Feb. 14, as the Titans gave the
visiting Oregon College of Education Jayvees a victory.
Coach Mel Krause's cagers
lacked shooting and rebounding
and committed nu me r o u s turnovers and fouls en route to their
85-69 defeat.
The Titans used a two platoon
system throughout the contest.
Lane's non-starting squad was by
far more effective than the starting five.
Lane jumped off to a brief 2-0
lead on a 20-foot jump shot by
starting guard Mike Myers with

the contest only ten seconds old.
But a bucket by ex-Churchill star
Dennis Bottem and five points
by Lebanon's Gary Remillard
gave OCE aleadtheyneverrelinquished.
A six-minute field goal drought
by the host Titans in the closing
minutes of the first half enabled
the visitors from M o n m o u t h,
Oregon, to go into half-time intermission with a comfortable
40-31 lead.
The Titans showed signs of the
type of basketball they are capable of playing when baskets by
Bob Wagner, Tom Pardun and two
free throws by Rob Barnes closed

the gap to 55-51 with 8:52 left
in the contest. But three gift
tosses by OCE sophomore Don
Jaraths and a basket by Bottem
quickly froze any Titan hopes of
a comeback.
When it was all over, the Titans
had shot only 23 per cent from
the floor while giving the visitors
56 unmolested tries at the charity
stripe.
Lane's freshman guard, Ken
Boettcher, proved to be the hosts'
only bright spot as the Springfield
graduate paced the Titans with
15 points. Bob Wagner added 12
points while Paul Stoppel and Tom
Pardun netted 10 each.
Gary Remillard, a 6'2" sophomore, grabbed game honors for

Lane's men's gymnastic team
got back on the winning track
Friday, Feb. 13, as the host
Titans outclassed gymnasts from
Oregon College of Education.
Lane had a five-match winning
streak broken last week by Portland State, but grabbed top honors
against OCE in all six events
as they outpointed the visitors
97 .05 to 63.50.
The Titans got off to an early
lead with a 1-2 finish in the
floor exercise by Mike Blair and
Harold Sumner. Vern Lousignont
and Titan team captain Mike Bush
notched first and third in the side
horse as Lane began pouring it
on.
Bush, Dean Mitchell, andSumner finished in that order on the
rings as the confident Titans continued to roll up the score. Blair
recorded his second win of the
evening as he turned •in a fine
vault on the long horse. Ron

Jacobson, another Titan, grabbed
second in that event while OCE's
Al Cowi ns placed third.
Blair recorded his third and
final win in the match as he led
the Titans to a clean sweep on
the parallel bars. Vern Lousignont and Mike Bush placed second and third. Lane's high bar
specialist, Larry Brown, turned
in a sterling performance as he
ran away with top honors in his
specialized e v e n t. OCE 's Richard Mills took s e c on d while
Lane's Mike Blair placed third.
The final score read Lane,
97 .05--OCE, 63.50.
The win
raised the squad's record to 6-1.
This Friday, Feb. 20, Lane
gymnasts will travel to Portland
to take on Portland Community
College. The match will start
at 7:00 p.m.
The Titan gymna s t s are
coached by George Gyorgyfalvy. -

Special Training: key to open door?
For students who seek "the
open door to the open door,''
enrollment in the LCC Special
Training Programs may be the
key.
What began a few years ago
as pre-vocational education has
evol v ed into a three-part program: ndult Basic Education,
vocat ional training, and new program development. Directed by
Larr y Murray, Special Training
Programs now serve sever a 1
hundr ed Lane County residents.
In the begi nning, Adult Basic
Education, an outgrowth of the
federal Manpower Development
Training a ct (MDTA), offered
schooling to those citizens 18 and
over who had not been able to
finish high school. The Work Incentive Program through the
Oregon State Employment Service now provides several teachers who use the same curriculum.
T he concept ha s g r o w n. According to Helen L oomis, an ABE
Staff Assistant who coordinates
the program's activities, as the
students acquired new knowledge,
they demanded more, until it was
necessary to expand the program.
Consequently, th e ABE st a ff
now serves four groups of students:
*the origin a I Adult Basic
eludes reading, wr iting, spelling
and arithmetic.

*High school completion of
General Education Development
(GED). While these two programs
differ in detail, they both offer
English grammar and usage, social studies, science, literature
and mathematics as basic
courses.
The GED certificate, accepted
in lieu of a high school diploma
in all but two states, certifies
that the recipient has an educational development equivalent
to that of most high school graduates. A high school diploma
indicates that a prescribed curriculum has been completed.
*Students who have been released from high school on
a special waiver to continue their
education.
*English as a foreign language.
"One of the things that we're
always being told," said Mrs.
Loomis," is to take the courses
to the people. So we do, by
scheduling both day and evening
classes several times during the
wee k at the Eugene Labor Temple, at various schools throughout the county and here at the
LCC Study Skills Center."
"And don't forget the Annex,"
she said. The Annex is the Eugene
City Jail, where Byron Davis
teaches two nights a week.
"And remember the student

classes as his shift changes,"
said Lucille Lamoreaux, In- ·
structor in ABE. "All the students have personal study plans
so they can change from one
class to another without disrup•
tion."
Another facet of the program
is English as a second language.
Celeste Schneider and two aides
teach a twice-weekly class to
about 40 students, from a score
of countries and with varying degrees of fluency in English. The
majoritv a re women, m any of
them wives of university students. Since about half have very
little understanding of the language, teaching is individualized
so that each student can progress
at his own rate.
Mrs. Loomis also said not
everyone realizes that ABE students have all the privileges of
LCC students--student body
card, library privileges, use of
Study Skills Center and other
facilities.
This also includes counseling.
Director Murray said, "The staff
certainly supports us. A counsselor may drop into classes once
or twice a week."
LCC, with the second highest
ABE enrollment in the state, has
the greatest number of students
in proportion to allocated funds.
During the lifetime of the program, 222 have completed the
Adult Basic Education course.
Forty-eight entered high school
completion or GED and 78 have
gone on to additional schooling,
either vocational training or college.
Students have ranged in age
from 18 up, with about three
fifths under thirty-five.
Some of the ABE students go
into one of the LCC vocational
training programs. The clerical
course offers a comprehensive
secretarial skills program to
about 85 students.

to certification i s taught by
George "Bill" Mobley ~o 10-12
students each term.
"We put in 40 hours a week
30 in the shop." he says. "Th~
classroom session includes biueprint instruction, shop layout ana
metallurgy, as well as how to
find a job and hold it."
As in the ABE program, the
number who finish the welding
course i s high. Of 36 who enrolled last year, 30 completed
the course and 28 were cert~fied.
Mobley explained that welding

but is a highly complex trade
in itself with sixteen degrees of
certification. ''When things get

dumb and heavy."
According to Director Murray,
future plans call for new program development. "We hope to
introduce new programs, house
them in Special Training Programs for a year to work out
the bugs, and then transfer them
to the appropriate department."
Under consideration are such
dive rs e subjects as environmental technology, orQamental
horticulture, heavy duty equipment operation and plastics.
'' y OU know, I think that this
program is one of the best things
ever done," said Bill Mobley.
"When a man has lost his pride,
he's lost everything. If he has
pride, he'll try to upgrade himself.
"We take a man, show him the
way to go, and what he does is
