Statement released concerning Pickering · The LCC Board of Education has released a 21/2 page statement on the procedures it followed in reaching its April 13 decision not to renew the oneyear contract of President Robert Pickering. The Board release the statement following a special Board meeting Wednesday night, May 27. The statement was prepared in response to criticism bysome LCC district residents that the Board had not publicly justified its decision about Pickering. The text of the statement is as follows: STUDENT IS TREATED following "disaster" in the Food Service kitchen. LCC nursing students practiced their knowledge of disaster tech- niques on the "willing" Performing Arts students.

Dr. Pickering and the Board understood that the period of em ployment would be from July, 1969 to June 30, 1970. Dr. Pickering's contract with the Board of Education, therefore, expired by its own terms on June 30, 1970. The Board of Education first discussed w it h Dr. Pickering certain aspects of his leadership in an executive committee meeting held on Nov. 26, 1969 following a Board meeting. Only Dr. Pickering and the Board were present during this meeting. It has always been the policy of the Board of Education to discuss personnel matters in a c Io s e d session.

("Stub") Stewart will be the keynote speaker at LCC's graduation ceremony on Saturday, June 13 at 2 p.m. The ceremony will be held in the main gymnasium in the Health B_!1ildStewart was chosen as the speaker by the LCC Student Senate. When asked his thoughts on continuing a graduation c e re mony, since some schools are discontinuing it, Stewart said, "I'm old fashioned enough to believe it is still desirable, in a simple form." He indicated his topic will be A LOOK AT THE PAST AND A PREVIEW OF THE 70's, and said he chose this topic because "I want to visit and gossip with the kids." The informality of his speech will be in keeping with the casual ness of the graduation ceremony this year. Stewart, former Legislator (three terms, 1951, 1953, and 1955), prominent lumberman and owner of Bohemia Lumber Co. in Cottage Grove, Oregon, was appointed on April 6 to the Building committee of the Oregon State Board of Education. This marked the first such appointment to the Board of Education since 1929, as the rivalry between the two Oregon universities has been so fierce that nobody from the Eugene or Corvallis area has served. Stewart graduated from Oregon State University in 1932 with a Logging and Engineering degree. His son graduated from the U of O and also completed one year at Stanford Business School.

Stewart confirmed that he attended a meeting of the Board of Education in Por tland on Monday May 18 and that the Board is to have the results of an in- quiry on the campus disruptions as promised by the Chancellor that ''he would have his department investigate and report to the Board, but this should be an outside independent report--blue ribbon enough so that the Legislature will give credence to it." as a participant in Oregon's education process, he indicated that he thinks the community college movement is good and hopes it will be '' kept on the vocational level as it will be the reservoir for our skilled workmen and women who are badly needed." His opinion of the cause of the current campus unrest across the nation was our affluent society, lack of discipline and TV, among other things. He stated he would not agree with free-school methods in general, as discipline is breaking down, and with it, respect for law and order. Three hundred and seventyfour students will graduate from LCC this term, the largest number in the college's history. KEEP OREGON ta.1 hygiene class. Mrs. McEldowney's classmates in the dental hygiene program s•?lected her for the awards, which is sponsored by the Oregon State Dental Hygienist Association (OSDHA).

The presence of a representative from the news media has also been a practice of the college even during executive sessions. This is to insure the session will confine itself to personnel matter only. In the eventthe Board discusses other matters the reporter is free to publish those items. On March 25, 1970 the Board held another executive committee meeting and discussed Dr. Pickering's effectiveness. Dr. Pickering was not present because each Board member desired the opportunity to explore with each other how they saw the evolving situation at the first executive session on Nov. 26, 1969. The Re gist e r Guard reporter .was present. The meeting lasted approximately two ho u rs . The meeting concluded with the chairman requesting that each Board member give deep thought to the situation with all its implications. On April 1, 1970, again following a Bo a rd meeting, the members met in executive session. This meeting was in effect a continuation o f t h e meeting he l d March 25, 1970. Dr. Pickering was not present. As a result of these deliberations, (March 25 and April I) the Board unanimously agreed that the Board c ha i rm an and vice-chairman would be instructed to meet with Dr. Pickering and indicate to him that it was the feeling of the Board that his contract would not be renewed. Board members also agreed that it would be better for the chairman and vicechairman to indicate the Board's intentions initially rat he r than requesting the president to meet with the full Board. On Saturday, April 4, 1970, the Board chairman and vicechairman met with Dr. Pickering and explained t he Board's position on the matter. On Wednesday, April 8, 1970, following a bu d g e t committee meeting, the Board went into executive session. Dr. Pickering was present and strenuously objected to the fact that the Board was not going to extend his contract for a second year. Dr. Pickering requested an opportunity to meet with the Board in its entirety to discuss the situation. The Board felt that Dr. Pickering was asking the Board to reconsider its thinkings and informal decision on (Continued on page 14) Four chosen by Committee For the past three weeks, LCC ·has been looking for a new president. It is still looking. The 11 member screening committ e composed of LCC administrators, faculty and students and two members of the community, discussed 39 candidates. Of these candidates, ten were interviewed by the committee and four of the ten selected to be recommended to the Board. The committee then met with the Board May 22, to discuss why the four were chosen and in what order the committee rated them. Names of the four candidates have not been released. AU are from within Oregon. The Board has also interviewed candidates. a special meeting has been set for June 3 to discuss the LCC budget and possibly the presdential candidates. Primary qualifications sought in a new president are experience in administration, leadership and a philosophy fitting that LCC. If none of these current applicants is thought by the Board to fit the qualifications, others from out of state may be considered. }:age 2 'CARE:-Rhet0r"k-·Or R~'ality? ·TLE M'ANJ~.oN C:-¥\MPlJS ·• •• by Robert L Pickering LCC was established on solid foundations but needs, as an instituti')ns, to change in order to appropriately relate to the dynamics of life today and those desired and predicted for tomorrow. The reactionary would deplore this and say LCC should remain as it is. The campus radical would also deny this and demand instant change to conform the college to his prejudices, with hate, violence, and bloodshed as possible consequences. Somewhere between those two extremes will be a path of reasoned, ordered, planned change based upon the most real, vital, and continuing needs of our society. And what might those needs be? Well, one could expound at length about this. It seems to me, however, that LCC has captured the essence of the great need of man--yesterday, today, and tomorrow--for LCC is a college that proclaims CARE. One can criticize this as an oversimplification, a truism, a romantic dream, and so on but f.11is car-= for all the people who want to come through the open door is a distinctive feature that must be retained as the college changes. Without it, the college would merely produce technicians, para-professionals and highly skilled men and women functioning somewhere in limbo between a machine mentality and beastiality. But care is just so much rhetoric unless accompanied by deeds and procedures that demonstrate the reality of care. This becomes the challenge of day by day living.. developing the wisdom and courage to demonstrate this commit- c~( ment while learning how to punch a data processing card, clean teeth~ weld ·an angle iron, tie a fly, shoe a horsa. design a more efficient machine, or write a paper. The kind of care propounded by LCC is not something separate from the nitty gritty details and gutlevel decisions of the moment. Rather, it is at the heart of these actions or it doesn't exist at all. .You ask how can one care if others about me don't? They do, of course. The problem is that they too are scared and have their defenses up. Care expresses itself in giving. And it's not necessarily natural to give. One needs to acquire the kind of commitment that makes it reasonabla and natural to lose one's self to goals bigger and better than himself in giving. As one gives of himself or receives from another some of the defenses and facades are penetrated. When one cares and gives one becomes more vulnerable to the impositions of others. But that's where the actions is. And life lived at its best requires the risk of cara. The choice of a decent world hinges, it seems to me, on this capacity to care and to live it. Without it we will neither survive nor be worthy of survival. The choice can be made only by individuals. The choice of our tomorrows is up to you . I'm glad you have identified with a college that proclaims that care and grateful for our association. You should know that I am savoring our many constructive and pleasant times and look back with some nostalgia on this year together. Let's stay in touch. I care too.

I ·• MotklCC diSaster adds·to ins'frtl'ction DISASTER by Doris Ewing At 8:58 Monday morning, May 25, the greatest disaster in LCC history did (did not) occur when 25 students were (were not) injured when the boiler did (did not) explode in the kitchen of the Center cafeteria. The "disaster'' was staged under the direction of nursing instructor Arlene Underhill as a training drill for the second year nursing students. The "victims" were students in the drama department. At 8:57 Monday morning the cafeteria buzzed with sounds of students going to and from classes, buying snacks, eating, conversing with friends--a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Aminute later the fire alarm rang, and the mood changed. For a few seconds no one moved, voices quieted and changed in tempo. The room was c h a r g e d with a sense of "What's happening? Is this a fire drill, or what?'' Then a few students near the door stood up, p i c k e d up their books and walked outside. Gradually others fo 11 owed. A few moved aimlessly about the room, not knowing exactly what was expected of them. A minute or two later Security Officer John Miles appeared and ordered the students outside. By now a little smoke seeped into the eating area through tp.e kitchen doors. A second alarm sounded. The area on the snack bar side was now cleared of students, but those sitting on the dining room side of the building ap parently paid little attention to the alarm or to the activities going on. To a casual onlooker, they seemed to be completely apathetic. Inside the kitchen, the drama students sat, crouched or lay on the floor or wandering about in varying degrees of s i m u l ate d shock. They displayed a variety of theatrically dramatic wounds. Someone then ca 11 e d Wendy Westphal at the information desk in the administration building. She was to deliver the message to the nursing department. At this time the nurses were in their regular 9'oclock class waiting for Nursing Department chairman Mary Fiorentino who was to lead a study on the adrenal glands. Wendy opened the classroom door, saw that Mrs. Fiorentino wasn't yet there and stepped out. A minute later Mrs. Fiorentino walked into class with a worried look on her face. The call for help had come. "We didn't know what to do," said one student. "We just sat. there/' Mrs. Fiorentino directed half the class to go immediately to the cafeteria and the others to get some first aid supplies. At the kitchen door, the first of the nurses stopped and stared at the combination of bod i e s, broken glass, smoke, and spilled grease. Within seconds, the nurses were at work. One victim lay with a deep wound in his abdomen. another sprawled face down on the floor, apparently lifeless. One girl had a huge wound near her eye. other victims suffered from broken legs or arms, numerous cuts, internal injuries or burns. The nurses worked quietly. As each patient was treated, he was taken to the ambulence area in the fire lane between the Center and Forum. (Both the Eugene ambulance service and the fire department had been warned in advance to disregard any emergency call from LCC at this time.) "Watch your step,it's slippery," cautioned a nurse. Aprons were strewn on the kitchen floor where grease had been spilled. Now the instructors stood back to allow the students to develop their own leadership. A dazed student called, "Charlie, where are you?" A girl with bruised and cut face slumped against a movable cart on which were piled freshly trimmed roast ready for the oven. Two nurses struggled to get a victim to walk. "Get up ... sit now ... atta boy, you can do it ... " When asked what had happened, one of the victims said, "I don't know. There was this noise, and a bunch of glass breaking. It was really wierd." Another victim with a head injury still moped about aimlessly as he looked for Charlie. Another, not visibly injured but in shock succeeded in getting in the way. One tried to be helpful by handing out towels and blankets "but nobody wanted me to help." In less than twenty minutes all the victims had been removed from the kitchen area. A half hour later the evidence was gone. The disaster was over. And Charlie had been found. When the first alarm sounded, a few students , like Doug Chambers, said they thought the alarm was "genuine". Others said they "figured it was just a practice." Rosa Button said, ''when I saw the nurses lay this person on the cement and then go off and leave him, I knew it was a · fake." One of the cooks said, "It was a surprise to me. I thought it was a fire drill." The disaster had been in the planning st age s for about two months. Mrs. Underhill had received t raining in the Sacred Heart "disaster" program last year and had helped with emergency treatment after a bus-car collision several years ago on the freeway near Cottage Grove. The nursing students recently finished a study of disaster techniques as they apply to state, county and local hospital facilities and needs. Donald Brieger, Deputy Director of E me r g e n c y Service of Lane County, and William McIntire, Director of the Emergency Health Service for the state of Oregon, d i re c t e d the classes. • About two weeks ago cafeteria manager Merlin Ames, drama department · chairman Ed Ragozzino and the drama students had been asked to participate in the disaster plans. To orient the drama students, one of the nursing staff instructed them in victims' reactions to different injuries. Then, Monday morning before the accident, the students received a final briefing on the details of the response. The injuries were make to look realistic with the use of theatrical make-up such as pancro blood and mortician's wax. Some of the make-up jobs were expert enough to fool the nurses (despite the purpling effect flourescent lights in the kitchen had on the ''blood''). "The fire alarm was a bonus," said Ames. "It went on when the smoke from the grill reached the alarm." At a joint meeting of the nurses and drama students immediately after the disaster, there was mutual respect for their respective performances. Ragozzino said it was a case of one group inspiring the other to do the best job pos.sible. The nurses were really concerned about one victim who has such a n at u r a 11 y weak pulse "that my doctor has trouble finding it." That, and her flushed face, nearly convinced one of the instructors that here was one drama student who had overplayed the part. The students had been warned not to ''break character" until STUDENT GRIMACES IN PAIN during mock disaster Monday, May 25. The student is from the LCC Performing Arts department and the "blood" is pancro blood. (Photo by Hewitt Lipscomb) officially released. "I didn't see even one that did,"said one nurse. One young man who was treated by a male nurse said, "I fainted but he outbluffed me. He gave me. mouth to mouth resuscitation." In evaluating the exercise, Mrs. Underhill said the victims view of the situation was p r i m a r i 1y limited to their own problems while the nurses looked at the group as a whole out of which care was given on a priority of need. Instructor Jan Kinman said, "I feel it's been a good learniJ!g ex perience. Some realized right away it wasn't a real accident, bu! !;tiey all dug_ in and did a good ffe':' The simulated disaster was for the benefit of the LCC nursing students who had just completed training in disaster techniques. (Photo by Doug Vernon) Job." a major criticism was the apparent lack of leadership. Because the instructors were on the scene, the students waited for them to issue orders. As nursing student Bea Wallace said, "There were four instructors there. Naturally we waited for them to begin." Once the students realized they had to take charge, "I could see leadership emerging,'' said Mrs. Underhill. "I'm pleased with t~e ingenuity of the student nurses in improvising equipment and materials in treating the victims. It was a successful training program."

"Dreams ,and Meditatio'f,,., topic of May ·25 talk "Dreams and Meditation" was the subject of Herbert B. Puryear who spoke on campus May 25. Puryear, a Ph.D. and Clinical Pyschologist, is the Director of Education for the Association for Research and Enlightenment (~R~). Puryear bases his lectures on readings by Edgar Cayce, a a psychic who began working as a diagnostician in 1902, after he discoYe red h is ability. C a y c e analy:ied 8,,000 patients and correctly identified their illnesses. His diagnoses were later backed up by physicians. The last 20 years of his life were spent in answering philosophical questions about God and the nature of Man. Cayce explained how to meditate and to analyze dreams and also spoke of "previous existence" or "reincarnation." In the book "The Sleeping Prophet," Cayce is identified as having predicted the cure for cancer; two world wars and the years they would begin and end; the death of JFK; racial strife in America; and hundreds of other events that came to pass long after his death in 1945. The following events have yet to happen: the destruction of most ')f Los Ang,}las; San Francisco, and New York (he didn't specify the cause); the end of communism in Russia with a liberated Soviet Union in alliance with the USA becoming ''the hope of the world," and Christianization and Of;;nocratization of Red China. Puryear said that our minds are "like icebergs, 70% is below the surface." And that we must open up our subconscious. We are all potentially in contact with each other via the mind, but we cut ourselves off. We have built up barriers between each other, and to commu:iicate with God, or meditate, we must obey the first commandment - "love God." We must love one another and we will communicate. But we must not love so we benefit and must "live our love." scheduled June 7 falling asleep we are more likely to dream what we want to know about. Dr. Puryear first became interested in Edgar Cayce's work in 1951 when Meredith Ann, now h i s w if e , introduced h i m to THERE IS A RiVER, by Tom Sugrue. In 1953 they spent three weeks at ARE headquarters in Viriginia Beach, Virginia, during the Congress and Summer School weeks. Since then he has lectured and taught for the ARE both at Virginia Beach and a cross the nation on subjects related to the Cayce readings. Dr. Puryear received his B.A. in psychology from Stanford University and his M.A., Ph.D., and Clinical Internship from the University of North Carolina. His graduate theses were studies of dreams and dreaming. He also received a Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship from the National Institute of Mental Health to condud laborat0ry research on the psychophysiology of sleep and dreaming.

The current grading system consists of an A,B,C,D, or F grade for each course taken. Students also have the option of withdrawing from a class. With this system the student has both his successes and failure recorded. One of the problems of this system is that in order to have the necessary grade point average the student must get an A to offset a D. One student quit school with 1/2 a term left. After a few years he decided to come back, when he did he had to take 90 hours to raise his grade point enough to graduate. Seven new grading systems have been examined by the faculty committee on Grading Proposal, consisting of eight faculty members: Jim Snow, Math; Ron Metzger, Social Science; Pat Fraleigh, Counseling; Marv Winger, Automotive; Delta Sanderson, English; Terry Strong, Paradental; Jack Carter, Counseling; and Larry Murray, Special Training. The proposals being considred were taken from several schools which have tried .different grading systems.

The campus organization of APW had been working the previous two weeks supporting local civic groups and the congressional delegati on who were working to get a bill into congress to stop and detoxi fy the sh i p me n t. In submitting the resol ution, a PW was hoping that the additional publicized suppor t from LCC mi ght add mor e weight to the campaign. Response came from ..;>ractically every officer , senator and onlooker at the meeting held in the Board Room. Oregon Representa ti v e and LC C administrator Richard Eymann, who had recentl y become involved with PANG's campaign, spoke briefly, encour- , A•t B's and C's. The student will be allowed the option to retake the course. All courses attempted would be recorded in school records for V.A. purposes etc. One of the reasons members gave for their approval of this system is that it stresses success. One members commented that LCC is set up to take all students, regardless of ability, and those "who have for some reason not been successful in High School or have been reluctant to attempt education beyond High school." With a policy like the above, this member feels that Page " 5 success, not failure, should not be stressed. He felt the student who • wasted time will be "shaken" by the fact that he will have to retake the course. Some members also feel that if a student attempts to take engineering, for example, but cannot make the math, he should not keep that F on his records if he chooses to try a different major. Those opposing the new system say that the student might not have enough incentive if he does not have to worry about an F grade. The threat of an F keeps the students in class and working harder. John C. White hired ·for counseling position John c. White, a 36-year-old _ counseling specialist, has been hired as LCC's new Director of Counseling. The position is currently filled by Acting Director William Wright. White is presently the Director of Counseling at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. According to Dean of Student L S. Hakanson, Whiate has ''a strong interest in helping overcome educational barriers for all kinds of people," and was chosen for his experience as head of counseling in a community college similar to Lane. Following an extensive nationwide s e arch, White visited the LCC campus for an intensive eight hour interview by Student Services personnel. He was recommended as one of two candictates by the screening committee. .I White has served at Kirkwood Community College for three years. Prior to that experience, he counseled for the Job Corps for two years and , worked as a teacher-counselor for Iowa City Community Schools for six years. In 1963 he was awarded his Master's Degree in Education and Counseling at the University of Iowa, where he has done additional hours of study in his field. The new Director begins his work effective July 1 at an annual salary of $15,889.

"Well, a bill is due. They won't get it though because they can't squeeze blood out of a turnip." she remarked. But she went on to say, "the great thing is that we have the support of the area Medical Society, the Public Health Service and the backing of the general public. Population control is a big issue today. Everybody is getting interested. Our volunteer workers include several doctor's wives, the Mayor's wife and a registered nurse." Much of Mrs. Plesner's and other volunteer workers' time is spent speaking to schools and -~!~44~~ private organizations. Most of the engagements are handled by the Speaker's Bureau which is a group of qualified professional men who are available to fill speaking requests. '' Our organization now has an interested group at the U of O who are interested in setting up a similar organization. Also several LCC student nurses have expressed a desire to have such a clinic at Lane," S'.l.:_; Mrs. Plesner. Within a month, though, you won't find Planned Parenthood in its usual location of 16 E. Broadway. They havebeenforced to move to the Empire Building with the Urban Renewal agency because the downtown mall construction involves the demolishing of their present offices. Planned Parenthood is a practical and needed approach to our crowding communities, but Sharon Plesner and other volunteers don't feel like it's a one sided job. "I receive a great deal of satisfacation from working with the poeple that come to use seeking help. I guess it's the fact that I get to meet so many good and friendly people. They help me as much as I help them." LCC wins Green and Clean contesf air; PLANNED PARENTHOOD COUNSELOR, Sharon Plesner, talks to an LCC student nurse about the possibilities of establishing a Planned Parenthood chapter at LCC. (Photo by Jeff Powell) by Jeff Powell "Some days we have up to five abortion referral cases back to back," said the energetic Sharon P 1es n e r of the Planned Parenthood organization._ ''We even had one elderly lady come in and ask where she could find a prospective male companion." P 1an n e d Parenthood fills a large number of needs and provides answers within the realm of sexual problems in the Lane County area. Preventing unwanted children through preventive medicine is their basic goal. "We work very closely with the Family Planning Clinic. We are basically an education service," said the three-year .veteran of Planned Parenthood. Women, both married and single, continually approach Planned Parenthood with emotional problems as well as the need for preventive contraception. These women are referred to the existing public agencies in the community. Many of the women are seeking advice . about an unwanted pregnancy they are confronted with. Nearly 20% of the calls iri April were women seeking abortion help. "We take all the time needed in counseling a woman with an unwanted pregnancy, whether inside or outside of marriage," Mrs. Plesner went on to say. "There are a variety of reasons why women come to us. Some feel like they have to be preg-nant all the time. That is the only time they feel feminine. Some feel like they are getting Toy donors thanked Who is the mysterious benefactor who has been leaving children's play equipment in the play yard of the Child Care Center?? Mrs. Jill Heilpern, Director of the center, would like to thank those anonymous donors who leave toys for the children. Tuesday morning, May 19, someone left two wagons and a tricycle there. The toys are in fine condition. Mrs. Heilpern said the children really enjoy the toys, but she is wondering who the donors are. ''We appreciate the nice items, but we have no idea or clue as to who is giving us the toys." She added that "we are v e r y much interested in knowing who is being so nice. back at their parents or husband by becoming pregnant. It's these people we need to help." Mo re and more unmarried teen-age girls approach Planned Parenthood counselors weeking birth control help. Out of 100 calls in a month, usually 50% of them are single teen-age or college girls. Much of the time spent between the girls and the counselor is dealing with emotional problems that most of the girls haven't been able to confide to anyone. If the girl is really emotionally upset, they try to get help for her from the other Public Health agencies. If the girl is emtionally sound and set on getting birth control, Planned Parenthood helps her by making an appointment through the Medical Society with a qualified doctor who is willing to help the girl without involving her parents in the situation. The "Morning-After" pill is also available, but is not dispensed at the Planned Parenthood office. The caller, however, will be referred to a doctor where he can help her if she sees him within a 72-hour period. "It's our responsibility to know which doctors favor birth control and which don't. We don't want to offend the doctor or the girl," said Mrs. Plesner. "We only refer unmarried cases to doctors who don't feel morally wrong about giving birth control assistance. Once a doctors starts delivering babies of 13 and 14year old girls, they usually begin to g i v e t h e p i 11 s to these girls," she said. other problems arise that produce several phone calls daily involving women who want to know: "what do I do, I missed a pill!" "We are limited as to what advice can be given," said Mrs. P 1e s n e r regarding the calls. "There are somethings we cannot be responsible for. In most cases we call a doctor for advice or refer them to a doctor." Who finances Planned Parenthood? The fact is the badly needed organization is strictly on a non -profit basis. All funds are donated and the workers are volunteer with the exception of Mrs. Plesner who is a part-time paid worker but puts in a full work load every week. "We stay in business from month to month, because money is so tight," explained Mrs. Plesner. .She emphasized · her point as she opened the mail 1tM 'postman One-hundred g a 11 on s of ice c re am w as presented to Lane Community College May 29 by Harrisburg farm e r Edgar Grimes.

This shift is not always an easy one for the learner, but an effective teacher can make it less painful through his enthusiasm, humor, and concern. However, an effective teacher does not attempt to anesthesize his students with easy answers; he demands honest. effort, and he cannot be placated with good penmanship, memorization, or the mindless parroting of other people's ideas. He is flexible and fair, but, above all, he is intellectually honest. Pa u 1a Lutz, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Lane Community College, is such a teacher. Mrs. Lutz is always interested in a new id(ia or a new approach to teaching. If fact, she collects ideas as some people collect art objects, adding only the best and most stimulating to her lecture material. Consequently, every lecture she gives is like aneightcourse meal: enjoyable to consume but difficult to digest. Perhaps the ideas she presents are so stimulating because they are never static: her lectures are in a constant state of revision, and she is not afraid to change her mind or her methods. Furthermore, Mrs. Lutz cares enough about her students to be fair. Her tests are always challenging but they are never unjust: difficult essay questions are graded leniently; answers which show independent thinking are given extra points; and the grades are put on a curve. Also, she reviews the test imm,:diately-while the students still rememb0r the questions and care about the answers--and she returns the papers promptly. Her fairness also extends to her dealings with students. She listens patiently to their ideas and opinions 1 sharpening the good ideas with constructive criticism and pointing out errors in the logic of the bad ones, and she never resorts to sarcasm or ridic:ul~. But, perhaps even more impor- tant than fairness in a teacher, is intellectual honesty. And Mrs. Lutz demands honesty of her subject, of herself, and of her students. Because she does not feel that the discipline of An thropology is sacrosanct, she can point out dishonesty or errors in ant hr op o 1o g i c a I theories. Moreover, she asks students to present her with negative evidence against which to test her own theories, and, if the evidence is sound, she accepts it and uses it. Because of her honesty, she cannot be bluffed, nor is she impressed by anything but performance, and she fosters the same attitude of honesty among her students. Mrs. Lutz, then, is a highly effective teacher who teaches her students as much about fairness and honesty as about anthropol ogy. At the beginning of the school year, she said that she intended to make her students think. That was an understatement. As one Afro-American fair highlights weekend of her students, I often felt as though she had lifted the lid of my skull and stirred my brains with a French wisk. However, when my mind finally stopped reverberating, I discovered that she had not only made me think, but that she had permanently changed my way of thinking. And that is what learning is.

Center 221, currently a staffstudent lounge, was approved by the administration as a staff lounge and conference room effective Summer Term. This room will be set aside for eating, taking a break, talk or browsing in a proposed library section. The lounge should also help solve crowded cafeteria problems. The staff has been asking for a lounge since February of this year. After the first petition, the administration decided on use of 221 as a staff-student lounge. The last poll taken indicated 30% of the faculty, as well as many of the classified staff, felt a need for some sort of lounge. Staff Association President Jed Merrill cited a weakened morale and a need to have a place to get away from the office and classroom. ' Instruction Ge r a 1d Rasmussen made the prediction of 350 FTE students this summer. The 261 sections being offered this coming term constitute 31.9% of the total of 839 sections offere in the Fall Term. All departments except two will be offering courses in the sumrm~r session; both day and night classes will be open for students. Because of the nature of some of the occupational courses, some of the courses in this catagory will not be available this summer. As a result there will be more college transfer courses than occupational. There are also several remedial courses being offered this s i mm•~ r to help prepare interested people for college transfer or occupational courses. Although the LCC budget was defeated in the last election, no custs are to be made in the coming term schedule. Scheduling Secretary Judy P ierce said, "We are going ahead with the summer :schedule as planned." Summer Registration will begin on June 8, and class schedules will be available on campus at that time.

At present, information concerning a number of programs focussing on man's survival can be obtained at the Survival desk in the Student Senate offices of the Center Building. The center now provides an opportunity for all students who wish to participate in some aspect of ecological work to meet and work with other students in a combined effort. The Survival Center is expecting to function throughout the Summer at Lane to give everyone the opportunity to work with it that wishes to. In an attempt to make Lane students and faculty more aware Instructors attend LAPS session Mary Carlisle, LCC Textile instructor, and Gladys Belden, head of the Home Economics Department, attended a special session on the OSU campus, May 16, on Learning Activity Packets (LAPS).

T"ne unit will tour outlying areas, such as Elmira, and allow people who lack funds to attend school to use the packets. The department hopes to motivate these people to learn and and perhaps to return to school. Sp e c i a 1 counsultant for the learning session was Dr. Richard V. Jones, Professor of Education at Stanislaus State College, Turlock, California. He has been preparing LAPS for some time. Jones believes that this method of individualized instruction is much better than what is being d o n e t o d av in public schools. "Rather than providing for the learning needs of each student, the segmented and rigidly en- forced age-grades kind of school organization tends to inhibit the learning of students. The need has been emphaized for a more individualized approach to present teaching." And LAPS is an attempt to bridge the gap.

Meeting in the food services dining room following an extensive tour of the Lane campus areas, the 42 club members proceeded to install their 1970-71 officers at a luncheon.

One room is equipped with donated medical supplies, including the customary doctor's examining table. The downstairs also has a kitchen and another room which contains desks and files for the directors. The upstairs has three rooms.

Track meet (Continued from page 15) in the 220. May's winning time was 22 seconds, which is only a tenth of a second off his own school record. Another individual standout for the Titans was Rod Mooers. Mooers, who gained AU-American honors last week with his thirdplace pole vault finish in the NCAA Junior College Championships held in Garden City, Kansas, won both the pole vault and 120 high hurdles. Mooers cleared 14'6" to edge Mt. Hood's Rick Taylor in the pole vault along'; with breaking his old school record of 15.4 by gliding over the ~igh hurdles with a time of 15.2. 055 Olympics held May 24 Each year the Oregon State Spec i a 1 Olympics is held for handicapped and mentally retarded children. The children participate in such events as standi ng long jump, 50-yard dash, softball throw, running long jump, high jump, 300-yard run, and 440yard relay. Children from Pearl Buck Center in Eugene came to LCC for assistance in preparing for this track and field meet, held in Portland on May 24. Several students from Lane, including men and women physical education majors and members of the women's track team, worked with the children. Kris Havercroft was in charge of getting students to help each day, and seeing that the children received assistance. The children came to Lane for about a six week period preparing for the meet. Among those helping were Patti Lewis, Lavada Barber, Kathy Cole, Peggy Bartholomew, and Ann Mattson. There were 26 youngsters from Pearl Buck Center entered. The results: Running Long jump: Jim Ward, first. 50 yd. dash: Virginia Reark, first; Kim Larson, fourth; Rick Smith, fifth. Standing Long Ju mp: Rick Smith, second; Joan Pfreham, third; Virginia Roark. fourtho 25 yd. swim: Rick Jones, third; Gene Richardson, fourth. 300 yd. run: Jim Ward, third. Softball throw: Bill Houck and Mike Kilmer, third; Gene Richardson, fourth. °Lane's Doyle Kenady was clipped by Umpqua's Steve Petrie in the discus competition, one of two final events held on Friday. But after a night's rest the powerful Titan came back Saturday to set a new conference record in the shot put. Kenady broke Treasure Valley's John Lewis' mark of 50'11" with an incredible toss of 54'4 1/4". Lane's javelin crew, consisting of Don Van Arnam, Butch Hathorn, and George Slay, added further points to the Titan cause by finishing second, third, and fourth in that event. First place went to Mount Hood's Doug Vickery with his winning toss of 211' -8 1/2". But not everything went as well for the Titans. Lane's high jumper Dennis Conley soared to a lifetime best of 6'6" only to be beaten by Mt. Hood's Larry Luehrs in a jump-off for first: place after both athletes failed to clear 6'7" .• Luehrs, who was selected by the coaches as the athlete of the meet, bettered two fine performances by Titan Dave Wise. Friday Wise leaped 46' 4 1/2" in the triple jump only to be bettered by Luehrs' 46'6 1/2" try. Then in the long jump competition held Saturday, Wise sailed 23' 3 3/4" which was only good for second place as Luehrs bested Wise's jump by 2 1/2 inches. Women's team takes third May 22 and 23 Lane's women's tennis team attended the Northwest Community Co 11 e ge tournament in Washington. The tournament was hosted by Everett Community College. In attendence were Skagit Valley, Centralia, Columbia Basin, Highline, Lower ColumLia,Clark, Olympia, and Wenatchee. Highline won the team championship. Lane won third place and was only one point from taking second. Each school was represented by three singles and two doubles teams in the double elimination tourney. Lane's Karen Barrong won first place honors in second singles. Barbara Ackerman placed third in third singles. Kathy Cole and Judy Moorhouse were fourth in doubles. Also in attendence from Lane were Juanita Treat and Bev Vanderwall. L.CG to gr:aduate first nurses in ceremon ies Saturday , June 13 LCC will graduate its first nursing class June 13. That graduation will mark the conclusion of a two-year trial nursing curriculum that started September, 1968, under the direction of Mrs. Mary Fiorentino, head of LCC's first nurse's training program. Thirty nurses, including three men, will receive Associate of Science Nursing Degrees. On May 6, 7 and 8, two representatives of the Oregon State Board of Nursing returned to LCC to approve and grant final accreditation to the nursing program and grant an official endorsement from the State of Oregon for LCC's first graduating nurses. Before any nursing school may graduate students, the school must meet state requirements which LCC did when the State Board of Nursing approved the initial program in 1968 and granted final approval to the curriculum in May. Donna Monkman, Executive Secretary for the Oregon State bOard of Nursing, and Miss Marvelu Fisher, Educational Consultant for the Board, spent the three days talking with Mrs. Fiorentino, teachers, and students and examining how LCC's nursing program had developed and lived up to expectations since written copies of the poem, with the nursing program was apeach copy bearing the poem's proved by the state in 1968. title.

The address, titled "Human Environment and World Order," keynoted the University of Texas International Ex-Students conference May 14. In his talk the Secretary-General made an analogy between the recent return of Apollo 13 and the current global c r is is of human environment. "Now we face a rapidly increasing imbalance between the life-sustaining systems of the earth and the demands which its inhabitants put upon it. This is an unprecedented challenge to all earthpeople here and now. If we fail to meet that challenge, it could become an unthinkable disaster for our children." He expressed his hopes for suc_ cess of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment set to meet in Stockholm in 1972 , and mentioned the work of many organizations and governments throughout the world that are now trying to set standards in some areas. "If effective measures are to be taken in time, we need something new-and we need it speedily--aglobal au tho r it y with the support of agreements of government and of other powerful interests, which can pull together all the piecemeal efforts now being made and fill the gaps ... for the task of saving the environment, nothingless than a new step toward world order will do," he said. ( Continued from page I) April 1, 1970. The Board and Dr. Pickering agreed that they would meet for dinner on April 13, 1970 to further explore this matter. This meeting was held and a s e r i o us discussion ensued with Dr. Pickering that lasted at least three hours. Dr. Pickering was then asked to leave, and the Board discussed the case for another two hours, after which Dr. Pickering was asked to return, and he was informed that the Board s t i 11 unanimously felt that his contract should not be renewi:)j.,. In each of the meetings the Board's decision was unanimous and the representative of the news media was present. Each member of the Board of Education comes f r-0 m dive rs e backgrounds, communicates with different segments of the c o m munity, and lives in representative geographical areas of the education district. On or about April 14, 1970 Dr. Pickering released this information to the Register-Guard. Pickering declined to comm?nt on the statement and told the Register-Gaurd Thursday, May 28, "This is astatem~ntbythe Board of Education. I must reserve my comments at this time." Some of the same persons who appeared and spoke at the May 13 meeting renewed their dem:rnds at the May 2'1 meEting for an explanation from the Board on the specific reasons for not renewing Pickering's contract. The statement only dealt, however, with the procedures and not with specific reasons. The Board said could not commi·mt publicly on these reasons because they involved "personal matters" which have historically been kept confidential by the Boar j. One of the resients, Mrs. Floyd Hulegaard of Eugene, said petitions were being cir~ulated in the commu.1ity calling for an investigation of the Board's action by the State Boar J of Education in Salam. '' After we get that sent ,. and if then n :J commHtee is sent her,:: to investigate," she said, "ther,:: will simply hav2 to be recall petitions prepared." Carrol DtBroekert, Associate Superintendent for Pub 1i c In- ment of Education in Salem, said that ther<:! is no pr.ecedent for the State BoarJ to launch an investigation into a personnel matter at the r ·::!quest of a citizens group. He said the Boar:.l has "no real legal jurisdi ction" in such matters within the community college system, although he added "That dof:sn't r •!le out citizens from coming to the Stata Board.'' DfJB:-:,ek:-!rt said that State Board policy pr'Jhibits it from becoming involved in such matters unless the locally-elected Board of Directors of the school formally requests such intervention. In the April 13, 1970 discussion with Dr. Pickering it was also unanimously agreed that Dr. Pickering would have every opportunity to make a transition from the Lane Communitypresidency to his next employment and that publication of the Board's decision in the news media would not come from fhe Board but would come from Dr. Pickering himself at a time and place that he through appropriate. Contrary to published accounts of this matter Dr. Pickering was not "fired." The firing would be the termination of the employee at some time during his contractual period of employment. The Board of Education agreed only that his contract, which expired by its own terms, would not be renewed. LCC TELECASTING STUDENTS receive instruction in TV station operation from instructor.

Some writing can be open, some closed, and some personalo Such is the case of my story. It's personal--a personal narrative if you like. The narrative I am going to write is recent. It happened only two weeks ago, and I learned quite a bit from my experience. This narrative is, in a sense, a little different from most other experiences I have had, for when this happened, a whole different feeling came across my heart than from the others. The scene was Griffin Park in Salem, and the event was a baseball game between Lane and Chemeketa Community College. In the fifth inning, I was hit in the face with a pitched ball, and because of the inmact, I was knocked to the groupi;t immediately, conscious - but half out of my mind. Because of the bleeding in my nose, and blurriness in the left eye, I was taken to Memorial Hospital in Salem. X-rays revealed a broken nose, and the sight in my eye was steadily leaving me. While I was in the hospital, Lane rampaged to an 18-0 victory, and after the team showered and ate, they stopped by the hospital to say hello and everything that you say to a disabled teammate, and then they left for home. That night the doctor put eye patches over both my eyes so I could get as much rest as possible. Bedridden, 60 m i I e s fro m home, and "blind," I had some time to do a little thinking about baseball, and my thoughts were about some of the guys on the team. After all of the years I have p I aye d baseball, the different personalities I have met, and the different teams I have played for, I have never felt more "togetherness" on a ballclub than the unity on the LCC Titan baseball team. The next day after my injury, I was laying in my hospital room "blind" and bored. That afternoon as I was laying still, I heard a little scuffling of the feet, and all of a sudden, half of the team was in my room. At that moment, a special feeling crossed my heart-- not for me, but for the guys on the team. Heading home on the bus after the Chemeketa game, the guys on the team took up a collection, and the next day they bought me a card and a sweater, and brought it up to Salem that afternoon. To me, that is something that I will always remember. They traveled 60 miles on their own time just to see an injured team mate f o r no m o r e t h an ten minutes, and give him a getwell card and a sweater. That is one of the best examples of "togetherness" I have ever seen, and to me, a personal feeling for my teammates that I will always remember. Allan Gillespie's first pitch into centerfield for a home run. Gillespie was pressed into mound duty when the Blue Bandits scheduled starting pitcher, Carl My r i c k, along with teammates Bob Schultz· and Dave Harding, failed to show up for the game. In the second inning the Beavers upped their lead to 2-0. But after that it was all Blue Bandits as Gillespie held the Furcarriers scoreless the rest of the way.

Page 16 LCC Senator aids MeXiccin:Ame"ricans. by Jon Haterius Omar Barbarossa, an LCC student of Mexican ancestry who was elected student Senator this term, is now starting efforts to give voice to Mexican-Americans iri the Northwest. Barbarossa is vitally c on cerned with helping MexicanAmericans (Chicanos) by helping organize the Northwest Mexican-American Union for Political and Education Adv;rncement. A spokesman for Oregon' s Mexican -Americans, he is working with other Mexican-Americans in Idaho and Washington to "give Chicanos a voice in society." Chicanos are a minority group, observed Barbarossa. "In Oregon there are less than 30,000 Mexican-Americans, but these people who do not have a strong goice .in society should be represented and have a voice." This is what the new Chicano organization that started this Fall is all about. Barbarosa attended the Oregon Community College Association convention early this May and suggested the association form an ad-hoc committee within OCCA to find ways of representing and giving a voice within OCCA to the Mexican-Americans enrolled in community colleg-es in the state and providing education to this segment and all minority groups. As a result of Barbarossa's suggestion, there is now an ad-hoc committee working within OCCA to investigate avenues of education for Mexican, Negro and all ethnic and economic minorities , Ther8 ara 15 million MexicanAmericans in America. The re a re more Chicanos attending c om mu nit y colleges than fouryear colleges and universities and m o re are attending every year. Barbarossa believes that representation and education of Chicanos and all ethnic and economic minorities at the community college level is very important and becoming more so as more minority people seek self-improvement and education. The attack on the problems of this minority group, according to Barbarossa) is in four areas: 1) Education of the "silent ma•jority"to the problems such as inadequate living conditions and lack of adequate finances to improve themselves, of the "Forgotten minority." 2) Education of the Mexican-Americans so they may obtain jobs and earn an adequate Ii vi n g . 3) Rep re.:. se!1tation of Chicanos in politics, so they have a voice in the working of government. 4) Economic improvement by way of better jobs and higher paying jobs. It is a job of education and politics, then, that Barbarossa is concentrating his efforts on to better the lives of the "forgotten minority" in the Northwest. "We are centering our efforts on high schools and community colleges in Oregon, Idaho and Washington. Many of the Chicano high school students are dropping-out and we are trying to encourage them to gro plight with that of the Chistay in and to continue on into canos. "We share the samepr,)bcommu:iity colleges." Yet, a- lems as the Negro, but we feel nother problem encountered is that our problems are more uthat many of the Mexican- A- nique.
