18-21 year olds
eligible to register
About 15 Lane County 18 to 21 year-olds registered Monday,
Nov. 9, as potential voters.
The registrations are the result of an order issued by Secretary of State Clay Myers for
compliance with an amendment
to the 1965 Voting Rights Act
passed by Congress earlier this
year which lowered the voting age
to 18 throughout the country.
Th e constitutionality of t he
congressional action is currently
being tested before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Oregon, whose voters rejected
this year a proposal to lower the
state voting age to 19, is one of
the states contesting the national
lowering of the voting age.
Pending the outcome of the
SupremP. Court test, Oregon will
accept registrations from the
18-21 age group. Their registrations will be kept separate from
21 and over registrations, however, so they can be discarded
should the court rule against the
lowered voting age.
Potential voters may register
with the County Clerk at the Lane
County Courthouse.

Exchange program begins;·
LCC President visits Hawaii

LCC President Eldon Schafer
left Nov. 2 for Hawaii, where he
consulted with administrators of
four Hawaiian community colleges. He spent a day at each
of H aw a i i, Maui, Kauai, and
Kapiolani community colleges,
attempting to get an overview of
their needs.
Schafer's trip is part of a twoyear project in which representatives from LCC, and from community colleges in Orange Coast,
California, and Seattle, Washington, will act as consultants to the
newly constituted Hawaii community college system. The project, which will involve exchange
visitations of staff between the
Hawaiian and mainland schools,
is funded by a federal grant.
Schafer is the first LCC staff
member to visit Hawaii under the
exchange program. Keith Harker, director of LCC's Learning
Resource Center, has been invited by Jack Humbert, Dean of
Instruction at Hawaii Community
College (HCC), to consult on the
development of a learning resource center there. He will
leave later this month. Harker
previously worked at Oregon College of Education in Monmouth in
the teaching research division of
higher education. He has developed guidelines for training
media specialists in research and
information retrieval. While at
HCC he will also teach an inservice workshop on media available for use in the classroom and
learning centers.
Harker said he views the op-

portunity to assist HCC as a challenge, and is looking forward to
his visit. Schafer noted that the
exchange program provides not
only an opportunity for LCC to
assist the new college system, but
to learn much that will be of future
benefit to LCC itself.
On Nov. 10 Deans of Instruction Jack T. Humbert, Hawaii CC;
James Embrey, Kapiolani CC;
Dorothy Kohashi, Kauai CC; and
Earnest Rezents, Maui CC; will
visit the Lane campus. Theywill
observe LCC facilities and receive orientation so they may
coordinate in-service training
programs for their staffs.
The Hawaiian colleges, like
LCC, have in the past been vocational-technical in orientation.
Changing economy and growing
population have created a demand
for a wider range of skills, however. Changing to a community
college system, with the combining of liberal arts and vocationaltechnical training, has placed new
and sudden demands on facilities
and staff. Thus, the colleges are
calling on LCC, Orange Coast,
and Seattle for consultants in
curricula, 1ea de rs hip, administration, and program development.
Of the four Hawaiian colleges,
HCC serves the largest area-4,021 square miles with a population of 67,000. It was a vocational school for 29 years before being transferred to the
jurisdiction of the University of
Hawaii and made a community
college.

es would be held at Lane. All
other work would be done at
the U of O.
If the "cost factor " would
be the only reason for ROTC at
Lane, Senator Jay Eubanks of
the Performing Arts Department
sugges_ted, there is a need for
work Ing out an arrangement
whereby LCC students could take
ROTC classes at the U of O and
still pay Lane tuition rates.
Eubanks also pointed out that
LCC depends on the district for
it_s bu~get. "We h~ve campus
disruption, and they 11 close our
doors," he w~r_ned •.
AS B Pubhc1ty Director Tom
Purvis noted that "~he Student
Senate actually has httle to say
about whether ROTC is introduced at Lane." He recommended, however, that a position
should be taken for consideration
by the Curriculum Committee.
Gerald Rasmussen, Associate
Dean of Instruction, confirmed
this idea by stating that '' all
points of view will be welcomed
for discussion" when the proposal reaches the committee.
Following the Senate's vote not
to endorse ROTC, Holst announced that in keeping with this
decision it would be proposed to
the Curriculum Committee that
a plan be worked out to enable
Lane students to attend U of O
ROTC classes at LCC tuition
rates.
Kent State issue postponed

Action on a proposal to permit solicitation of funds to aid
indicted Kent State students was
postponed until the next Student
Senate meeting, after discussionbecame bogged down in parliamentary procedure.
A motion "not to become involved in political matters, such
as the Kent State issue," was
tabled following a controversy as
to whether or not Senate bi-laws
require that information on major policy questions be circulated
at least three days prior to the
meeting at which they are to be
considered.
First VP censured
A petition charging ASB First
Vice President Bruce Nelson with
nine counts of negligence in handling last week's student elections
was introduced by Senator Bill
Nelson, Science Department.
The petition read in part:
"The First Vice-president of
the Associated Stud e n t Body,
Bruce Nelson, was remiss in
carrying out his charges as required by the Constitution and
By-laws of this body.
l) Two days before elections,
(he) du mp e d responsibility of
making up ballots on other Senate
members.
2) Failed to obtain people to

3) Failed to see that tables
were set up and signs made.
4) Failed to obtain ballot boxes.
5) Failed to obtain student
print-outs.
6) Failed to see that voting
booths Were set up.
7) Failed to make sure that
the ballot was correct.
8) Failed to supervise elections as required by the By-laws.
9) Failed to appoint a Board
of Tellers as required by the
By-laws.
In these ways the First Vicepresident was grossly remiss in
carrying out his charges as directed by the Constitution and
By-laws and could be subject to
impeachment by this body. However, we the undersigned do not
feel this would be the proper
course in this situation.
THEREFORE I MOVE that the
Student Senate censure the First
Vice president, Bruce Nelson,
for the negligent manner in which
he has performed his charges
as this negligence is detrimental
to the goals of the Student Senate of Lane Community College.
Asked to explain the reasons
for the alleged negligence, First
Vice President Nelson said they
were personal and he would not
comment on them. Several senators then noted that his reasons
could not be considered personal
since such actions reflect on the
entire Senate.
The motion to formally censure
the First Vice President was
passed unanimously by roll call
vote (with six abstentions).
other business at the Student Senate meeting included passing a proposal to pay the ASB
President beginning winter term,
and forming a committee to investigate the possibilities of stu• dent insurance.

LCC straw ballot
reflects general election

LCC's straw ballot, held Wednesday, Oct. 29, predicted accurately for all positions but one the
results of the Nov. 3 general
election.
LCC voters selected Republican John Dellenback to return to
the 4th District Congressional
seat. At Lane Dellenback beat
Weaver 231-118: District results
gave Dellenback 84,145 votes to
Weaver's 60 107 while in Lane
County Delle~ba;k won by a vote
of 37,073 to 26,478.
In the race for governor, it
was McCall all the way. LCC
.voters gave him 231 votes to
Bob Straub's 113. In the state
McCall got 358,480 to 286,169
and in Lane County it was McCall
by 35,093 to 28,090.
In the State Senate race LCC,
as well as Lane County, voted into
office two Democrats and a ReDemocrat Edward
publican.

Fadeley won over Randy Miller
by a vote of 232 to 108 at LCC,
while the County voted in Fadeley by a vote of 38,596 to 24,705.
The other winning Democrat was
Betty Browne, who beat Don Husband, the incumbent. LCC gave
her a 201-144 mar gin, while the
County voted Browne in by 39,580
to 23,705. The only Republican
to win in the Senate was George
Wingard with his victory over
Noti lumberman Ray Swanson.
LCC's vote was 190 to 140, while
the County vote was 33,524 to
28,214.
The Democrats won all six
seats in the House of Representatives in both the LCC s_traw
ballot and the actual elections.

Students' Forum

Suppose it had been real?

by Karen Von Effling
Monday morning at LCC began
with an alarm ringing in the
Center Building. A questionable
percentage of students left the
building; a large percentage of the
staff didn't bother.
No one had been forewarned
of the alarm; it was set off by
someone opening one of the emergency doors in the library. A
prankster apparently thought it
would be funny to see the building
evacuated. But his prank failed-not that many people thought an
alarm was important enough to
take notice of.
Instead of a door, it could have
been a fire or bomb alarm. Do
you have to see the smoke before
you'll leave the building? Do the
walls have to startcrumblingbe-

fore you'll run? Does the building
have to blow up before you'll get
up and go?
Excuses for not leaving included "it was raining," "I
wasn't sure if it was an actual
alarm," "none of the people
around me were leaving," and "I
figured it was just a joke." Are
these good excuses for possibly
getting hurt, maimed, or killed?
In high school you complained

It's ironic that the U.S. is one
of the most highly industrialized
and "efficient" nations in the
world. Still we have some of the
biggest, grossest problems any
nation could possess. What is the

about alarms, but you left the
building; you knew there was, or
could be, a good and just reason
for the alarm and you went. Now
that you are mature, adult college
students, are you too old to
beware of danger? Does it hurt
your self-esteem to obey the
alarm and evacuate the building?
What w o u 1d have happened to
YOU if that had been a real
alarm?

underlying reason that we have
these problems? Simply inefficiency and money. It's far simpler to go on using a wigwam
burner at a mill than to load the
sawdust in a truck or railroad car
and have it shipped to a larger
mill which can afford to use the
sawdust in a manner beneficial
to man (for example, in presto
logs).
The reason that America progressed to its present standing
is that virtually all Americans
want "that dollar," causing the
stiffest competition anywhere in
the world. We are a group of
capitalists and we want that dollar. So much do we crave the
dollar that we put it before the
good of man--in fact, before the
very survival of mankind and the
world.
We are basically selfish,
greedy capitalists. The fact that
we are this way is not entirely
detrimental. The fact that we are
so greedy for "the dollar" is the
main reason that we developed so
quickly from a basically agrarian
society to a prosperous "efficient" industrial nation.
We have got to become increasingly conscious of the survival of mankind and less dependent on the dollar. We have to
stop and think: Does the means
justify the end? You answer that.
If you don't think it does, do
something to help alleviate the
problems so prevalent in our
country.

VA to finance mobile homes
The Veterans Administration
will finance mobile homes for
v e t e r a n s and s e r v i c e m e n,
starting Dec. 22.
Administrator of Vet e rans
Affairs Donald E. Johnson said
a bill signed by President Nixon
on Oct. 23 authorizes VA to guarantee or make direct loans for
this purpose.
Earlier this year, the President's Committee on the Vietnam
Veteran, of which Johnson was
chairman, recommended legislation on mobile home financing.
The committee said the legislation was needed to provide ''low

when a TORCH representative informed the poll
watcher that it was illegal to have advertising
for candidates at the polls.
7) He failed to make sure that the ballot
was correct.
True. One person was left off the ballot
entirely.
8) He failed to supervise elections as required by the By-laws.
True.
9) He failed to appoint a Board of Tellers
as required by the By-laws.
True.
These charges do not mean that the actions
were not performed---simply that they were
not performed by the 1st Vice-President, whose
duties they are.
To these nine charges might be added a
tenth. Apparently those students who were obtained to watch the polls were not instructed
(or forgot momentarily) as to the proper behavior while poll watching. One poll watcher
was overheard by a TORCH reporter responding
to a student's question by discussing the relative merits of the candidate and advising the
voter whom to select.
From the list of charges it is quite apparent
the Senate and student body have every right to
be dissatisfied with the 1st Vice-President's
handling of the elections. The extent of that
dissatisfaction is evident in the petition itself
which states that these charges of negligence
could make him subject to impeachment. Rather
than the drastic action of impeachment however,
the Senate, as well as those who signed the
petition, chose merely to censure Mr. Nelson.
However, a censure is only effective if it is
meaningful to the person so censured. If it is
ignored, it is like a slap on the wrist---nothing
is really accomplished except making official what
others have been saying unofficially. Hopefully
this censure will not be ignored by its recipient,
whose actions are far from "personal," for ~s
an elected ASB official he is responsible to the
student body to carry out the duties of his office.

I) He had dumped the responsibility of making
up the ballots on other Senate members.
True.
2) He failed to obtain people to cover polls.
This is only partially true. He had other
students obtain the people to man the poll~.
3) He failed to see that tables were set up
and signs made.
True.
4) He failed to obtain ballot boxes.
True. For a while the only "ballot box"
available was one of the large metal ash trays.
5) He failed to obtain st1Jdent print-outs.
True.
6) He failed to see that voting booths were
set up.
True. At 8:10 when the polling places still
hadn't been set up, the Senate office called the
1st Vice-President at home to find out why. He
told them to talk to him about it later. At that
time, one of the senators set up a polling place
(using the metal ash tray as the ballot box) and
prominantly displayed the "Candidates' Forum"
from the TORCH next to the polling place. The
"Forum" was removed about five minutes later

A·n operation in mismanagement!
The ASB elections held -Wednesday, Nov. 4,
were, to put it mildly, a fiasco. And the Senate
was quick to act.
At the Senate meeting Thursday, Nov. 5, Bill
Nelson, Science Department senator, introduced
a petition charging ASB 1st Vice-President Bruce
Nelson with nine counts of negligence in the
handling of the student body elections and asking
that he be censured. The Student Senate passed
the proposal unanimously on a role call vote
(with six abstentions).
Nelson did not respond to any of the charges
except by saying that there were personal reasons involved and he would not comment on
them.
But was he lax in performing the duties as
set down by the ASB Constitution and By-laws?
The petition listed nine counts of negligence.

Clubs take· note!
It's often difficult for TORCH
staff members to chase down
student representatives of campus organizations, so publicity
about their activities becomes a
"hit or miss" (unfortunately,
mostly "miss") affair.
One campus group---the Forestry Club---has solved this problem by simply having a Reporter as one of the elected officers
of the group. Among the Reporter's duties is maintaining contact with the TORCH by use of
the News Notice forms supplied
each organization, or by other
means. Though these News Notice
forms are sent to each group,
or may be obtained at any time
at the TORCH office, 206 Center
Building, it doesn't do much good
unless someone takes the time
to use them. Having a specific
person to contact (and knowledge of where he can be reached
or a message left) and knowing
that you can rely on him to let
you know wht' s happening, makes
the job of the TORCH easier
and also ensures that groups
won't miss out on letting others
know they are around.
Our thanks to the Forestry
Club for an action which will
benefit both of us. other groups-take note!

income veterans/'
The VA administrator noted
these specific provisions of the
law on the financing of mobile
homes:
* Establishes a special mobile
home loan guaranty or direct loan
benefit for veterans and servicemen who have not previously used
any of their $12.500 home lo::i.n
guaranty eligibility to purchase
conventional homes.
* Provides that if a veteran or
serviceman uses his mobile home
1o an entitlement, he may not
otherwise use his $12,500 home
loan entitlement until he has repaid the mobile home loan in
full.
* Provides that VA may approve loans up to a maximum of
$10,000 for a mobile home, and
up to $17,500 where a suitable
lot to place the mobile home on
is purchased.
Provides that the VA may
guarantee up to 30 per cent of
the loan for a mobile home, but
use of this guaranteed or direct
loan benefit does not reduce the
veteran's or serviceman's
$12,500 guaranty entitlement.
While emphasizing VA has not
had experience in loans for mobile homes, officials expect about
13,000 loans to be made during the
first year of the program.
The law which provides financing for mobile homes also restores expired G.I. loan benefits
to some 8.9 million World War Il
and K o r e an Conflict veterans.
The law also preserves these
benefits for all veterans who
served after Jan. 31, 1955, until
they are actually used.
Another provision eliminates
the .5 per cent funding fee VA
formerly required post Korean
veterans to pay on guaranteed
and direct home loans. This
provision does not affect loans
made before Oct. 23, the date
the bill was signed.
The law also makes direct
loans for specially adapted housing available to seriously disabled veterans in all parts of the
countrv.

Utilizing the language in an
informal situation is the keynote of the tables, which meet

35,930 no to 26,496 yes.
Except for the poor voter turnout recorded by LCC, the results were much the same for
both the college straw ballot and
the actual elections. Of a potential of some 6,000 staff and
student voters, however, only
356 people voted in the LCC straw
ballot.
The straw ballot was organized by Paul Malm, LCC political science professor, and conducted by his students.

White

Bird: Eugene's only 'free clinic'

TEENAGERS WAIT .AT WHITE
problems.
by Bill and La Verna Bauguess
(This is the first of a two-part
Series on the White Bird Sociomedical Aid Center.)
The term "free clinic" has
been popping up in the United
States recently. Free clinics have
been offering a variety of services not offered by medical or
social agencies in the past. Perhaps saying the services offered
by free clinics are more readily
accepted than those in the past
would be more accurate, because
the services referred to include
both medical and counseling services to alienated youth.
And while these services have
been offered by various other
agencies for a number of years,
seldom have they been incorporated within one agency as they
are in the free clinics, nor have
they been aimed specifically at
individual youths who have been
alienated either by their own
doing, or by lack of real understanding on the part of parents
or others in society.
While hospitals offer complete
medical services, those youths
who are fearful of society, and
of everything that ( to them ) is
representative of the society they
fear, will not seek the help they
need because of the atmosphere
projected by the hospitals. The
same holds true for the various
counseling services offered by a
scattering of agencies ranging
from free non-profit organizations to very expensive private
practitioners. These counseling
services for the most part project a fatherly or parental image
to alienated youth that destroys
any communication before it has
a chance to start.
At 837 Lincoln St. in Eugene
sits an old white, two-story
house. On its right is a modern business building; bordering it on the opposite side is a
parking lot. A sign on the door
says, "If you are parked in the
parking lot, please move your
car." Hanging on the front porch
is a sign which says, "White Bird
Socio medical Aid Station."
The tranquil appearance of the
outside of the old two-story house
is deceiving. Upon opening the
front door you find yourself in a
small entrance-way, with a stairway on your left, a tiny bathroom in front of you. On your
right, in what probably was once
the living room of the old house,
sits a reception desk usually occupied by a young woman who

tache and shoulder-length hair.
He greeted us warmly and intro. duced us to other staff members
in the room. The next 45 minutes
was spent--in between telephone
calls and people popping in and
out of the room---discussing the
operational . procedures of the
White Bird organization.
Dolf explained that "White Bird
is a subculture agency trying to
fill the gap between the straight
and hip community". White Bird
was founded in January of this
year and began operation in February. To this date, it has served
over 2,600 people. At present,
about 180 to 200 "contacts" are
made per day. An amazing fact
is that while about one-half of
the contacts made today are medical and the other half are for
counseling purposes, medical
contacts have risen 17% in the
last two months, and counseling
contacts have jumped an astonishing 95%. Of all the counseling contacts, 55% are drug related. Drug related doesn't mean
that 55% are drug addicts, but
that drug use or abuse is a part
of the symptoms of the real
problem.

"We Bombed in New Haven"
opens LCC's '70-'71 theatre
season Nov. 13 when George Lauris dire ct s this incisive play
about the "obscenities of war."
F i rs t produced at the Yale
School of Drama in 1967, and
produced in Broadway in 1968,
"We Bombed in New Haven" is
a play which speaks for people
and against the atrocity of war.
The play is packed with a potpourri of broad slap-stick humor
with a satirical salute raised to
the military complex.
For this generation of Americans, says director Lauris,
"nothing could be more relevant
from a student standpoint or from
a national priority standpoint than

people missing "New Haven" will
be poorer for having done so.
The play is relevant in terms
the students at LCC and the youth
of our count r y can understand.
The characters in the play are
what bring life to this out-of-theordinary contemporary comedydrama, however. Though the play
ref 1e ct s our society's concern
with military trappings, the daffy
and bewildered en 1is t e d men
comically underscore the serious
side of this Joseph Heller play.
It's a drama about the schizophrenia of war, punctured with
comedy of the enlisted men who
are victims of a war their society created.
In watching rehearsals, it becomes clear that director Lauris is just as concerned with the
message as the medium of expressing the message. The play
is done in a "theatrical" style-there is little scenery or attempt
to hide the fact that the actors
are acting in a theatre. The
actors, in fact, direct themselves
to the audience and make reference to the fact that they are
acting in a theatre and are '' in a
play about war." Lauris points
out that "We Bombed in New
Haven" is a "play-within-aThis quality heightens
play."

LCC N.ursing Department off.ers 'p.ersonal touch'
by La Verna Bauguess

This year three sophomore
student nurses came to LCC after the fall term had already
begun, seeking admittance. They
were accepted and have fit in
quite well.
What's so unusual about that?
These students had applied at
several nursing schools between
here and California and were
turned away each time with the
same story - school has already
started and you won't be able
to catch up. It was suggested
that they wait and enroll next
year.
Mary Fiorentino, Director of
Nursing at LCC, didn't agree
with this attitude. Her view of a
good nursing program is that it
needs to be flexible. "We are
trying to make our nursing program accessible to mostpoeple,"
stated Miss Fiorentino. "It's a
shame to have a situation where
students are locked into a program."
Mary Fiorentino is an energetic and vibrant person who
reflects a note of pride and
enthusiasm when she speaks of
the nursing department. Miss
Fiorentino put the nursing program at LCC together in 1968
and since then has received wide
acclaim for the success and excellence he r program represents. '' It was a dream come
true, when I came to LCC I was
told I was to set up the nursing
program as I thought best," stated Miss Fiorentino (even yet
with an expression of amazement). Originally from Canada,
Miss Fiorentino studied in the
state of Washington, where she
received her bachelor of science
degree in Nursing from Seattle
University and her masters at
the University of Washington. Before coming to LCC she worked
on the Associate Degree Program at Portland Community
College.
Miss Fiorentino takes a real
personal interest in her students,
and they in turn feel at ease to
call her Mary and seek her out
in her office when they have problems. The teaching staff of the
nu rs in g department includes
Evelyn Alford, Charlene Beffen-

FAA

bacher, Sheila Gardipee, Patricia
Green, Janice Kinman, Saralie
Lewis, Iris Lindahl, Margaret .
Milne, Ann Newton, Arlene
Underhill and Joyce Young. These
teachers are focusing on the in'::.
dividual approach to nursing and
are available in rotating shifts
to assist students when questions or problems arise.
''We have a REAL action center," said Miss Fiorentino. "Our
students hate quiet study rooms."
The action center is set up with
movie and slide projectors, books
and other reference material.
"We have faculty members available, machines running, also
earphones and adaptors so more
students can work with a minimal
of confusion.
There are 30 students enrolled
in the Practical Nursing P r o gram, one-year program that
prepares men and women to work
under qualified supervisors in
the care of the sick, in rehabilitation, and prevention of illness.
The Associate Degree in Nurs in g is a two year program at
LCC. This year 60 freshman and
48 sophomores are enrolled. This
program prepares beginning practitioners for performing general
nursing care. Both general and
specialized content are taught
throughout the program to assist the student develop as a
person, as a citizen, and as a
nurse. An attractive feature of
the Associate Degree program is
that a student can graudate and
be eligible to write the St ate
Board Test Pool Examination
for licensure as a Registered
Nurse in two years. In the Diploma school three years is required, while 4 or 5 years is
required at the bacealaureate
level.
Miss Fiorentino has proven it
can be done successfully in two
years by placing a high emphasis
on lab work. Flexibility is also
a key: students maybe moved
from the Practical Nursing program to the Associate Degree
program or vice versa after the
student's individual capabilities
have been assessed.
Why does LCC have a nursing
program? Community need is the
ans.wer . "The need seems to be
seasonal," says Miss Fiorentino.

renews Lone accreditation

The A v i at i o n Maintenance
Technician School at LCC is the
first of Western region aircraft
mechanics programs to be accredited under the new Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations.
The announcement came following a recent visit to the campus by a team of FAA inspectors.
The Western region includes all
states west of the Rocky Mountains.
Melvin Gaskill, mechanics and
transportation department chairman, said that the inspection and
accreditation renewal is part of
the FAA's master plan to upgrade the currciulum in aircraft
mechanics schools across the nation. During the next two years,
every institution offering the specialized training will be reviewed for certification by FAA
inspectors.
Some 90 students are currently enrolled in the two-year program at LCC. The training is
divided into two phases of aircraft maintenance, with separate
certification earned in servicing
structural parts and in repairing aircraft power machinery.
Following the revised FAA
guidelines, Lane aviation maintenance. instructors revamped
their program to include individualized learning. Students this
fall are able to arrange their
own hours in the laboratory and
proceed at their own speed in

learning the skills involved in
the work. They also receive
credit for prior knowledge and
experience in the field.
An added feature of the program is that new students are
accepted into the training as
space permits on Monday of the
fourth, seventh, and 10th weeks
of the term as well as at the
beginning of each quarter.

"Right now there are no jobs in
Eugene." In the fall many nurses, married to University of
Oregon students, work through
the school year while their spouse
attends classes; in the summer
they often move away. There is a
growing demand for professional
nurses. The state of Oregon needs
at least 400 new nurses each year
for each 100,000 population. LCC
is the only school in this area
with a nursing program since
Sacred Heart General Hospital
fazed its program out.
Janice Kinman-looking more
like a student than an instructoris head of the planning committee
for first-year students. Janice
remembers clearly coming to
LCC last year to teach. "At
first I felt a little threatened by
being questioned continually by
students," she said. Since she
graduated only four years ago
from the University of Oregon
she went on to expiain, "It had.:.
n't been that long since I was in
school and that sort of thing
just wasn't done." Soon realizing the open relationship between
students and instructors, this
fear quickly dissoved. Janice now
welcomes questions and if there
is something she doesn't know she
tells her students and helps them
find the answers they want.
Constantly seeking ways to better and improve the system of
training student nurses, Mary
Fiorentino has developed what
she calls "the packet system."
She had an idea in the back of
her mind and one day last year
while visiting the Mechanics Department, Chairman Mel Gaskill
showed her the packets his students were using. This was
exactly the thing Mary was looking for. A grant was applied for
and re c e iv e ct, and Miss Fiorentino and her staff worked all
summer to get the new system
ready this fall for freshmen students working toward Associate
Degrees.
The first six weeks the freshman student spends at LCC are
spent in extensive 1 ab work.
Basic skills and heavy emphasis
on communication s k i 11 s are
stressed. After the six weeks
period it is felt that enough of a
freamework has been given for
the student to start working in
a hospital. Two days a week
student nurses go to Sacred Heart
Hospital and other medical fa. cilities, in groups of no more than
ten under strict supervision of
their instructor, to help them
develop their skills_. The instructor cont r o 1s the learning experience in the hospital, rather
than releasing the students to

workers. Miss Fiorentino firmly stated, "We can't have student running all over the hos-

pita!, without adequate supervision. We deal with life and death
situations."
The packets the freshmen students receive cover everything
that will be required for each
particular week. Mondays the focus is on a three-hour lecture,
which is taped so students can
refer to it at any time for assistance in their studies. During the week students spend two
days working in various hospitals, doctors offices, clinics
and other medical facilities in
this area. Students also go to
the Veterans' Hospital in Roseburg for experience in psychiatric nursing. The packet contains the total lesson plan for
the week - the objective, lab
work, identifying of principles,
vocabulary, pharmacology (which
may be specific drugs to identify
or even math), and a self-evaluation section for the students to pinpoint their problems.
A seminar is scheduled for Fridays and brings together everything the students studied through
the week.
Nationwide, there is 41% failure
of graduate nurses to pass state
board examinations for license
as registered nurses. One of the

main reasons for failure, according to Mary Fiorentino, is
the fact that nursing programs in
institutions of higher education
have become symbols of status,
training is often poor and the
results is reflected in the high
failure rate. LCC is challenging
that statistic and failure in the
Nursing Department is almost
nonexistent. Of the 28 graduates
who tested for their license to
become registered nurses, only
two failed to pass one of the
five rigorous tests handed down
by the State Board. LCC graduates have consistently ranked
first or near the top each year
since the nursing program began.

The following appeared in the
Oct. 16 issue of the COUGER
PRINT, the Clackamas Community College student newspaper.
"It was suggested by quite a
few people that this paper should
come down hard on the subject
of the speed bumps which have
been installed on the campus.
Quite frankly too many people
have already come down pretty
hard on the damn things.
"In itself, the idea is not so
bad, but it was certainly a relief to find them gone on the
morning of October 7."
Sound familiar?
Some of LCC's newly installed
traffic bumbps have been removed-at le3:st temporarily.
Mark Rocchio, head of LCC's
security force, said those bumps
that were removed were actually
overdoing their job. The bumps
were installed to deter speeding
on campus. Some of them were
too ~arrow at the base, however,
causmg too steep a rise and
forcing cars to come almost to
a complete stop.
Those bumps remaining are
either built with more gradual
incline, or are placed where
traffic must already halt.
Date of replacement for the
speed bumps which were removed
is uncertain at this time.

The Oct. 16 issue of THE

ABE classes offer GED aid
by Erika Orchard
"My biggest concern was that
someone would see me going in."
This confession came from a
Springfield mother of five and
grandmother of seven as she recalled her first day back at
school.
School for Mrs. Verda Harvey~
1221 "F" Street, and for her two
married daughters and sister who
joined her, was a class for adults
wanting to brush up on reading,
writing, arithmetic and spelling.
But the three had more in mind
than brushing up--they were out
to pass the General Educational
Development (GED) tests which
would earn them the equivalent
of a high school diploma.
Mrs. Harvey and her daughters, Judy Lewis and Linda
Chrones, "graduated" last summer after being among500persons who, last year, took advantage of the free adult basic education c I asses offered through
LCC.
Probably few p e op 1e would
question whether a mother who
has been active in PTA, the Election Board, and as a Girl Scout
leader had finished high school.
That's why Mrs. Harvey was a
little reluctant to give away her
secret by coming to the classes.
Why then did she enroll?
"I just wanted to do it," was
her simple reply. "I used to
think it was above me to get an
education." Mrs. Harvey dropped out of school in junior high
when her mother became ill and
needed her help at home with the
seven younger children.
"You can't imagine how much
fun it is to be able to help your
daughter with her homework,"
Mrs. Harvey continued. The
young lady she was referring to
is Wendy, an eighth grader at
Springfield Junior High whose
ambition it is to be a teacher.
Mrs. Harvey's older daughters
had other goals in mind when enrolling for the classes. Linda,
25, wanted to pick up where she
left off when she dropped out of
school as a sophomore. Since
completing her GED she has been
working for the Springfield Police
Department and is currently receiving training for a career in
po Ii c e work. Mrs. Harvey's
other daughter Judy, 30, completed junior high but was forced
to drop out of school when it was
discovered that she is allergic to
chalk dust. Since passing the
GED, she has found a job and
enjoys looking over the work done
by her two school age sons.
The idea of earning a high
school diploma later in life isn't
new to this family. Mrs. Harvey's other sister completed the
LCC program several years ago
and her son Jack earned his diploma through the military service. Another son, Steve, is the
only family member to finish high
school so far.

16 pints donated
to Bloodmobile

Sixteen pints of blood were donated by LCC students and staff
Monday, Oct. 26, when the Lane
Memorial Blood Bank Bloodmobile visited the campus. That
amoung brings the LCC Blood Donor Account up to 57pints of blood.
Everything went well during
the Bloodmobile's visit, said
Steve John. At the end, there
were more people than could be
handled.
Any student group interested
in having the Bloodmobile come
to LCC again this term can contact Steve John at extension 382.
The Bloodmobile can be scheduled twice a term if students are
interested. In order to justify
its return, twenty donors are
needed for each visit.

Mrs. Harvey said she feels
there is some truth in the saying
"kids follow their parents' example." But she's glad that hers
have followed her lead in picking
up the studies they once left
behind.
"Picking up" wasn't easy,
though, Mrs. Harvey admits.
Math was her biggest obstacle
during the ~wo years _she attended
Adult Basic Education classes.
"I just knew I couldn't do it,"
Mrs. Harvey s rn i 1in g I y cornrnented.
But she did "do it" and eredits her teacher's special way of
"daring her to learn something."
Under the ABE program, anyone 16 years of age and older who
hasn't achieved beyond the ninth
grade level may enroll at any
time during the year. There is
no charge f?r the classe~ and
those attendm_g may remain as
long as the!' w~sh.

. Like Mrs. Harvey, a number of
people in these classes are fulfilling a long-time desire to finish high st hool. others simply
want to improve their reading and
writing ability. As a result of
the help they receive, these people have experienced such
"firsts" as voting for the first
time, subscribing to a newspaper,
opening a savings account, and
ordering from a catalog.
Some 1,688 persons have taken
advantage of the classes since
they were first offered in 1965.
However, the ABE program has
a long way to go toward reaching

less than a ninth grade education.
"It's hard to convince others

State universities and colleges
offer the best bargain for the college-bound student, but even in
these institutions the cost of a
college education has risen 30%
in the past five years. And it
will continue to rise.
These were among the conclusions of a joint report by the
American Association of State
Colleges and Universities (representing 275 schools) and the
National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (representing 113 of the
nation's biggest state schools).
The report indicated it is

LCC Print shop fills instructional needs
by Bill Nelson

On the first day of classes,
most students received a course
syllabus, study outline, or some
other piece of printed instructional material. Many of these
materials were printed in the
LCC print shop, located on the
fourth floor of the Center Bldg.

The proper name for this de-.
partment is Instructional Materials Production. It f u 1f i 11 s a

Adult Ed offers yoga class

by Fred Robbins
This year the Adult Education
program at LCC is offering a
class in Hatha Yoga.
The class began Sept. 28 and
meets Monday evenings from
7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The course
includes 20 hours of instruction
and participation, and costs $12
a term.
The addition of Hatha Yoga to
the LCC curriculum indicates the
school's commendable willingness to respond to community desires. In response to a number of
individual requests, Buck Proctor of the Adult Education Department appointed Res Wray to
construct and instruct a Hatha
Yoga course for those people
wanting it. Thirty people are enrolled in the current class.
Wray studied and practiced for
two years under a very qualified
Yoga instructor in San Francisco.
Last year, Wray taught three
t er rn s of Yoga for the Free
School in Eugene.
Wray's teaching technique consists of starting his students off
slowly. Also, he tries to ensure that they enjoy their exercises.
Mrs. Linda Clifton, a
school teacher in Lane County and
a member of the class, said she
very much enjoys the manner in
which the class is conducted.
Everyone in the class, she said,
is allowed to do his exercises
free from constant reprimanding
from the instructor if they happen to be doing an exercise not
exactly correctly. If someone
encounters difficulty, they merely have to mention it to the
instructor and he advises them
as to a more correct procedure.
Wray is interested, most of
all, in his students making Yoga
a part of their everyday life.
Mrs. Clifton said that doing Yoga
as a group makes it much easier
to '' stick with it'' than if she
were to try to do it by herself.
The course is designed for attaining or regaining vibrant
health and harmony of body and

mind. The physical life styles
of the majority of people today
fall far short of contributing to
vibrant health. Many centuries
before Christ a number of men
were concerned that men had lost
the habit of living in conformity
with the organic laws of their
species. Foremost of the factors
contributing to this problem is
man's erect posture and his erratic breathing. To correct this
situation, these men established
the discipline of Hatha Yoga.
The LCC Yoga class has as
its objectives: 1) establishing a
sense of balance, 2) maintaining
an everyday supply of blood to
all body parts, 3) acquiring the
ability to relax, 4) attaining good
posture, 5) physical flexibility
and stamina, and 6) concentration, objective self-control, and
clarity of mind. It achieves these
objectives by using exercises in
breathing, c on c en t r at ion and
postures.
Many aspects of modern life
do not foster good posture, expecially for students who spend
many an hour over their textbooks. In addition, contemporary furniture doesn't lend to good
posture. Besides all this, to some
people, a person exhibiting a
slouched posture gives the impression of c as u a In e s s and
hence, an "object of cool"---not
so cool. Many of the postures
in the Yoga class are designed
to reestablish correct posture.
One often hears the remark
"I hope I die before I get old".
For most people, the dread of
old age sterns from characteristics accompanying it: stiffness,
mental sluggishness, body deterioration, and inactivity. However,
Hatha Yoga's chief aim is to
prevent these undesirable characterisitcs from setting in. Hatha

concluded that ' 'when a couple

Popular myths about men and
women which interfere with good
sexual relationships in marriage
were also discussed by the speaker. The male who feels that it is
unmanly for him to show emotions is probably not very good
at making love, he noted. On the
other hand, women should disregard the idea that "nice girls
don't" and think about their own
needs and potentials.
There is no "cook book" for
a satisfying sexual relationship,
Scott commented, nor is there
one for a good marriage. Both
involve tolerance, respect, honesty and the desire to stay together.
Scott's talk was the fifth in a
discussion series on "Liking

Marriage More," sponsored by
the Family Counseling Services
of Lane County. According to
Vern Faatz, counseling services
director, objectives of the series were to provide new information, share ideas and help
participants gain different perspectives on the various aspects
of marriage.
In response to a question as
to whether human behavior can
be changed by a lecture series,
Faatz replied:
"If it can't, then we're all in
trouble because our whole educational system, from kindergarten to the Ph. D., is based on
the idea that people can learn
new things and change attitudes
and behavior through the acquisition of knowledge."
Two additional discussion series are planned by the Family
Counseling Se r vices. During
Winter Term, parent-child relationships will be considered
and a Spring series will deal
with divorce.

Soccer team wins
two more
Coach George Georgyfalvey's
soccer team picked up two more
wins in soccer play this past
week. The Titans squeaked by
the U of Coots on Tuesday, Nov.
3. Then on Thursday, Nov. 5, they
stormed by Clackamas Community College.
In the first game it looked
like the Titans were going to
settle for their second consecutive 0-0 tie of the season.
Lane battled the U of O Coots
evenly throughout most of the
game. With only one minute to
go, the Titans scored on a beautiful shot by Jim Whitaker.
The single Lane goal was set

up by Jack Johnson moving up
from his normal fullback position and getting the Lane offense going. With Johnson setting up Whitaker up for the Lane
goal, and Whitaker making a nice
shot, Lane edged out the Coots
for a 1-0 victory.
Fullbacks Mc Ke an, Johnson,
Riley, and Allender solved last
week's problem and made several
good clears. These clears allowed Lane to be on the offense
more.
Goalie Abdullah Sedairi had
another fine afternoon as he made
several good saves. This was the
Lane's te::irt1s second shutout in

a row.
When Clackamas Community
College came to Lane, they probably wished they had stayed home
as Lane swept by them with a
5-1 win.
The weather was· very bad,
causing the game to be held up.
• When the weather cleared the
game got under way and the Titan offense really got rolling,
coming up with the most points in
a single game this season.
Led by center forward Dennis
Orm, who tallied three times,
the Lane team took a 2-1 halftime lead. Helped out by Jim Whitaker and Abdullah Alriani, who
each tallied one goal, and a good
defensive effort, the Tit ans
picked up their fourth victory in
the last six games.
Left wing Steve Meliganplayed
a good game, with several assists, and was outstanding in
bringing the ball downfield and
setting up the scores.
Lane's defense has allowed
only one goal in the last three
outings. The defensive unit, expected to be Lane's strong point,
is living up to their expectations.
The defensive unit, composed of
team Captain Jack Johnson, John
McKean, Rick Riley, Greg Ludke,
Les Allender, and goalie Abdullah
Sedairi, plays well together. The
addition of Sedairi to the team has
helped a great deal and strenthened the defense tremendously.
The Titans travel to Corvallis
to meet the asu team on Wednesday, Nov. 11. The much improved Lane team hopes to
stretch its winning streak to three
