;7 ~./ •• LCC Board discusses tuition, ho By Richard Stamp Revision of LCC's deferred tuition policy and the possibility of employing a collection agency to collect back payments were recommended to the college's Board of Education by a local auditing firm Nov. 11. In its annual report, the firm of Rowan, Iskra and Babcock of Eugene said that nearly $16,000 of unpaid tuition was ''written off as bad debts'' at the end of the 1968-69 fiscal year. This figure represents 11 per cent of last year's tuition from students financing their own way through school, or 1.5 per cent of the total tuition received by LCC. Part of Lane's "open door policy," according to business manager William Watkins, has been to extend credit for one or two terms in cases of need. He noted that it had been a Board policy not to turn bad debts over to a collection agency even though some students have left without paying their tuition. Auditor Ronald Babcock informed the Board that the ef- feet of such a policy is similar to a scholarship program in which the individuals c ho o s e themselves as recipients. It would be better, he pointed out, totighten credit policy and use the money saved to give scholarships to students selected by the Board on a basis of need. Watkins and LCC President Eldon Schafer both agreed that present tuition policies may need revision. Watkins suggested that one way of reducing losses might be to refuse deferred tuition to out-of-district students. Lane Community College Vol. 6, No. 8 4000 East 30th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon 97405 November 17, 1970 Sena te acts on , Kent State A discussion of Kent State and approval of a budget for a folk dance group highlighted the Nov. 12 Student Senate meeting. A petition, to be circulated among the student body requesting a federal grand jury to investigate the May 1-4 incidents at Kent State, was endorsed by the Senate by a 10 to 8 vote (1 abstention). The petition is to be circulated by a sub-com- mittee of the Senate. Also approved, unanimously, was a budget of $491 for the folk dance group at LCC. The motion was amended for the money to come from the already alotted Athletics budget. This money will be placed under a special line item number (under Senate control) for specific dance activities. In other business, the Senate Former Arab leader to discuss Middle East Lt. Gen.

A faculty committee at the college is currently investigating the charges against Sephton. recognized the LCC literary art magazine, ''The Concrete Statement," referred to committee a recommendation to allot $300 to Eugene Emergency Housing, and swore in the newly elected senators. As an i nformation item only, the Senate received an explanation of the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG). The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Student Se n ate will be Thursday, Nov. 19, in the Board Room of the Administration Building. The meet in g starts at 2: 0 !',ID. In another decision regarding tuition, the Board moved to require students to prove that "legal guardians" a're actually acting as their parents by providing for their needs such as food, clothing, shelter -- and even discipline. Dean of Students Jack Carter explained that some students have avoided paying outof-district tuition by persuading individuals who live within the district to go to court and become their "guardians," thus qualifying these students as district residents. Turning to the problem of student housing, the Board set the evening of Nov. 25 as the date for a work session on this subject. Carter described a proposal by Adult Studing Housing, Inc., of Portland, under which Lane could participate in low-rent student housing financed by the federal Housing and Urban Development agency. Florence Board member Albert Brauer declared that he could not support plans for building such housing until all the "ramifications" had been considered. Among these he mentioned the possibility of branch campuses, long range planning and the impact created by students living near the campus. He added that LCC was designed as a "commuter college" and that providing housing seems to go against this concept. Marston Morgan, director of Institutional Research & Planing, presented the Board with a survey on student housing and noted that the "commuter" concept serves mainly the more wealthy students from outlying parts of the district. Board member Catherine Lauris commented that "people are cxploiHPg college students in this area." Diane Nechak, staff member of the Lane Council of Governments, added that elderly people with low income a re suffering the most from housing shortages because of the competition with LCC and University of Oregon students for available low-rent housing. In executive session the Board reviewed 11 letters received from persons interested in filling the Board position vacated last month by Richard Williams, associate administrator at Sacred Heart General Hospital. Consideration also was given to six other names suggested by indi victuals. T h e ch o i c e of candidates was narrow d to six persons who will be invited to meet with the Board for interviews. Dec.9. The Board also dealt with budget preparations for the next fiscal year. During its open session, two persons were named to three-year terms on the college's budget committee. John Brewer of Swisshome was reappointed and Mrs. James Braymer of Eugene was selected as a new member. One position on the committee still remains vacant. Salary talks with the faculty are expected to start next month prior to regular budget meetings. Robert Ackerman, Board chairman, reported to the Eugene RegisterGuard that the Board may depart from its normal policy of keeping all aspects of salary discussions open to the public and faculty. "It's our feeling," he commented, "that the past system has not been fair. There have been times when the Board was unable to present a united position because it has been unable to caucus. Since the staff has this privilege we feel the Board should have it, too." day, Nov. 20.

And the end of the strike signals the beginning of the debate over the procedures used to gain new • contracts. General Motors, the world's largest private manufacturing concern, and its workers lost $104 million a day in wages and sales. Michigan lost $4 million a week in tax revenues. And nearly 100,000 people not working for GM were laid off jobs that depend on GM---100,000 out of nearly 1.8 million people who depend on GM, either directly or indirectly, for their jobs. It is time labor learned that strikes no longer accomplish what they were designed for in the nineteenth century. The new contract for GM employees will not make up for the lost wages. Labor must change its method of winning new contracts from strikes to arbitration---binding arbitration by a third party. For example, the United Auto Workers (UAW) would bargain with GM until the contract expires. If no agreement has been reached by that time, the auto workers would keep working and an arbitrator would be called in with the responsibility of forming a contract and the parties would be bound b'y his decision. However, this method does present problems. Both union and management could just go through the motions of collective bargaining, knowing that a third party will step in to set the terms of the new contract anyway, But if this is not the answer, it is a start--a start in the right direction. Because in recent strikes (GE, GM, and others) the workers have not been the only losers. The companies have lost money (and while they're losing money, they're in no mood to give any) and the governments (city, state and national) have lost money from lost tax revenues. And the public has lost. Because if the governments don't make up the lost revenues through higher taxes then government programs have to be cut back, Strikes were originally one of labor's few weapons to gain improved working conditions and more money but lately everybody has turned up the loser. There has to be a better ~ay! New community college welcome Josephine County voters approved the creation of the state's thirteenth community college district Tuesday, Nov. 3. The passage also provided for a seven-member Board of Directors and a budget to last five years. The Oregon Board of Education has prepared a statewide plan for a maximum of 15 community colleges in the state, one including both Josephine and Jackson counties (Rogue River Community College). It would seem that if the college is to serve both counties, then both should pay for it. And if both counties are to pay for it, then both should have the opportunity to vote on it. Hopefully, though, the Jackson voters will not f o 11 ow the example of Josephine County voters. Voters in Josephine County gave a generous majority to the question of creating the district, 6,712 to 4,563. But the decision to give it any operating funds was very close--5,322 to 5,226-indicating the voters saw little correlation between the two measures, What would have happened had the voters passed one measure and not the other? It would have been an interesting situation. the latest in soups, there's always peanut buttervegetable (no, I'm not kidding).

There is, at present on each campus, some form of studentaction organization to make all students aware of the problems in their environment.

The purpose of this organization would be to carry out resolutions pas-· sect by the students on a statewide governing board. 2. LCC is now petitioning student body members for a show of support.

Then Olson is quoted as saying "at that time I heard Ml6 rifle shots." However, the report states that Olson said ''he could not be sure Mitchell actually did fire into the ditch."

CWE students working parttime, or occasionally full-time, in off-campus jobs related to their college studies earn an average of $2.60 an hour. One student, in a vocational field, totals as much as $820 monthly. Only 41 CWE participants, however, are presently being paid by their employers. The rest, Way explained, are undergoing exposure and training in their field and should begin receiving wages during the next term. Students also are given academic credits for their work in l I - _ CWE. Way noted that while the trend is in this direction, Lane is one of the few colleges in the country that offer such a program with transfer credits. All of Oregon's four year inst it u tions accept these credits toward completion of elective requirements. Way added that he is now in the process of contacting the colleges and universities to work out a plan whereby students can have their credits -applied to the fulfillment of their majors. The CWE program is designed to integrate classroom theory with practical, on-the- job experience so that participants may find their studies more rewarding. Another goal of CWE is to enable students to make an easier transition into employment after graduation from college. liain Calley push the Vietnamese into the ditch, then shoot them with automatic weapons.

Not one of the students interviewed felt he was affecting the Student Senate in any way while all felt they were affected by its actions. The general attitude was that the Student Senate is acting independently of the students, making decisions without the advice of the students who elected its members. Bill Hirning, Mass Communications, said "I feel the student Senators act to perpetuate themselves in their own best interest." - AU agreed that there is quite a gap between the government and those governed. "It's a vicious circle," said one student, "students won't support or become interested in a government that has no real power and the government has no power without student support." There seemed to be an obvious lack of the personal approach in this year's election campaign. Gary Stevens, a Business major, said ''I didn't hear one speech and no one approached me for Don't my vote. The only hint I had that there was a pending election was a few hokey looking signs hanging around." An interesting comment on the polling places was made by one student who said "I walked past the polls three times and never did vote. It looked more like they were selling lemonade than anything else." All things being equal, it would seem there is a rather obvious reason for apathy at LCC, but the other half of this story is still untold.

Tlw last 2() minutes or so are stunning and incredibly moving. The short (110 minutes, including intermission) two-act play opened Friday night in Lane Community College's Forum Theatre. "We Bombed" was written by Joseph Heller, who also wrote "Catch-22," and there are occasional echoes of that novel in the play. These are especially evident in the inspired double talk and the transition-less shifts from hilarity to horror. The production handles these shifts-and just about everything else-very well. It would be unwise, however, for theater-goers to expect another "Catch-22." Just as that was a highly individualistic novel, so "We Bombed" is a most unusual play. It involves a group of servicemen who, according to the . Gl's program notes, "could be Marines, Sailors Weathermen, Black Panthers or any group in our society which deals in violence." They are ordered to bomb Constantinople for no reason that anybody understands, particularly since there is no longer a Constantinople. They do it anyway, and one of their number is killed. And although there have been glimmerings of it before, it is the death of this man-Corporal Sinclair-which brings into focus the play's primary and most interesting device. Sergeant Henderson, who is as much of a hero as the play allows, simply cannot. understand the death of Sinclair since he was only an actor in a play. As Henderson says, "I've been in World War II three times-once in a movie." The plot device on which the play turns is Henderson's decision to lC'ave the pla y and not go on a bombing raid to Minnc~ota as he has been ordered to do. The rest of the play is devoted to resolying this problem. It is thP technique of the actors frf'quently leaving their roles, arguing over whose speech is whose, addressing the audience directly thaL gives "We Bombed" its early fascination and brittleness. Heller seems so fascinated with the device that it is as if he wants to try everything he can with it, whether or not it furthers the play. And thPn, in thr last ~ection, whether by accident or design, everything comps together, and power is substituted for cleverness. Heller is no longer manipulating his characters but seems rather to have become swept up with tht'm. Director George Lauris has done some splendid things with the play and with his actors, keeping enough things going on onstagc-and throughout the theater where his actors make constant forays-to krep the audience with the show at all times. One minor prnhlf'ni hcrE• Friday night was that in scenes requiring barracks-type joviality, it seemed that the actors were. just slightly phony. Lauris and the audic>nces also havP. several actors to thank for performances that go beyond being merely superior. Sandra Isom as Ruth, the "second prettiest girl on the base" is a standout. She has a marvelous comic talent which she exploits to the fullest with gesture. posture, expression, inflection and everything Plse at her command. James Whetstine as the major is just as good, although in a com[)letely different characterization. He is the embodiment of cold, ruthless , absolute powe r, particularly in the play's latter half. Giff Pov.:rll as Captain Starkey and Steven Wehmeier as Srrgr.ant Hen<lerson have the biggest roles in "We Bombed," and do a crcditahlC' job with them . There are a few occasions when they seem to be expressing emotions they can't quite reach, but since they have the show's primary "message" roles, that could be the fault. of the dialogue. [n minor parts, Stt>wn Harper and John Savage, with about as few lines a~ anybody , 1Jhsolutcly typify the tfrrifying gum-chewing, swaggering, cretinous , loathesorne little men with a lot of power . Technical Di rrctor Dave Sherman has done his usual superb job - especially with the airplane sounds and the lighting in thP play's climactic scene.

Movies like "Catch-22" (by Josephy Heller), "The Graduate," "Midnight Cowboy," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "Easy Rider/·' and '' Boys fo •the Band" all deliver' messages about contemporary social problems -- unlike movies and plays in the '30' s and '40' s which depicted life in an unreal, "glossy" sort of way. "We Bombed in New Haven" delivers contemporary messages in the s am e introspecitve ways as some of our current flock of films and plays. The Lauris~ directed LCC plav is an incisive, powerful and moving war game play that hits you at gut level by way of dramatic and comic parody on our military. There are moments of comedy, and higher moments of tragedy (wihout revealing the ending). For the generation of "peaceniks" and flower-power and antiwar people, particularly of college age, "We Bombed in New Haven" has a message -- the message "is the play." I asked a girl her reaction to the play as we left the Forum Theatre after the play' s conclusion. She said, "Oh, -- what can I say" as she brushed a tear from her cheek after the final act. em~wt Jt:wdry fas,,i, s. fictio By GEORGE SK.EIE MfM!\F R A!lil:HICA N GEM SOCIETY ROMANTIC RINGS The new romantic look in women's fashion _s , according to jewelry industry sources, will continue the demand for important looking rings are a must for the other hand. The bolder rings using colored stones encircled by diamonds are elegant and lady-like, in keeping with the new graceful skirt lengths and fluid fabrics. Cultured pearl rings may be clusters of freshwater pearls sprinkled with small diamonds, sapphires and rubies, or large blister or baroque pearls with a tint of pink or bluish-grey. Intricately "draped" rings of fine gold combine well with stone-set rings, and are especially suitable for wear on the fifth finger. Antique reproduction rings are also pop u l a r, especially with the younger market. W he n buying colored s to n e rings, one thing to remember is that there should be complete disclosure by the jeweler as the physical properties of the colored gem. By this I mean calling a stone by its correct and proper name. If a stone is synthetic, as is so often the case with improperly labelled Alexandrite, for example, then it should be identified to the customer as synthetic corundun, or whatever.

The text, "Ecological Crisis: Reading for Survival," was released last Sept. The text contains 22 essays on population, environment, and the current ecological crisis. Published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich in paperback form, the text is designed to be used in the freshman year of biology, contemporary prob 1e ms, western civilization, and basic ecology c 1a s s e s . An accompanying teacher's manual gives suggested writing assignments and other ge , student projects. The teacher's manual includes letters from students to be used for examples. The authors of the essays include such notables as Sir Julian Huxley, Rachel Carson William O. Douglas, Paul Eh~lich, Aldous Huxley, and Marston Bates. Mrs. Love says she chose essays for their scientific accuracy and overall importance, and her husband chose them for their readability and soundness. Mrs. Love will use the text in her classes next term. She is hoping other LCC teachers will use the book.

If so, why not consider including a foreign student in your holiday festivities this year. Friendship families from the Eugene area are being sought for 53 foreign students attending Lane Community College this year. They represent such homelands as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, Pakistan, Colombia, Taiwan, and Singapore. They are looking for opportunities to be included in American family activities and are happy to share their native customs with their hosts. Mrs. Irene Parent, coordinator I I I Dolf Seltan, White Bird Clinical Director by Bill and La Verna Bauguess (Last week, in part one, we discussed White Bird's reason for being, its projected image, the people who work there, the counseling services, and the people it serves. This week, part two delves further into the White Bird story, beginning with the medical services.) persons who need help, and the society that can offer them the help they need. The success of this roll is evident in the number of contacts made each day(approximately 60 to 100 persons) for medical treatment. The White Bi.rd medical staff consist of 40 doctors, 30 nurses, approximately 8 optometrists, 7 dentists, and one oral surgeon. All of these people, without exception, work at White Bird, or for it, on a strictly volunteer basis. And while an examination room is in operation at the clinic for medical exams and minor treatment, spec ia 1 and emergency treatment cases are sent out on referral basis to medical professionals who donate their time at their normal place of work. For example, those needing emergency dental treatment are given a card and direct referral to one of the volunteer dentists. The dentists, who accept emergency cases only, see one patient per week per dentist and are constantly booked ahead. While the services of these professional are free to those referred to them by White Bird, there is a minimal charge to cover the cost of materials and medication. Since the time of Hipocrates, through the ages of time since his death, man has slowly gained knowledge in the practice of medicine. In the past century, giant strides have been made toward the elimination of the killers of mankind which lurked inside his body, slowly taking life until there was no more life to give. Gone is the threat of the dread diseases - small pox, yellow fever and cholera - which once spread across the land like a flash flood, laying waste to human life in its path of destruction. A short 52 years ago, cholera alone swept across the United States killing half a million people in a short seven months, and afflicting 19 1/2 million more before it finally brought itself to an agonizing halt. Polio, the dread disease of the 20th century, has been conquered by the never-ending advancement of modern medicine.

Nov. 19, 20, and 21 Regular Admission: $1.50 Thursday, Nov. 19 only: $1.00 Tickets are available at the Information Desk Student Activities Director: 'intense and aware' by Judy Perkins "I believe, and practice, a philosophy of work hard and play hard," says Betty E ks tr om, LCC's new Director of Student Activities. "If I were to describe myself in one word, it w o u 1d be 'intense.' How this developed, I really don't know. However, I do know my lire will continue to be full as long as I can maintain an attitude of awareness, openness, and willingness to participate in new experiences, and the ability to integrate these episodes into my life." Mrs. Ekstrom has been at her post since Oct. 15, but officially she started Nov .1, replacing Jack Carter who was appointed Dean of Students. Since her appointment she has been familiarizing herself with the functions of the job. In October she was away almost every weekend on conference trips. Mrs. Ekstrom formerly was on the LCC counseling staff. When asked to define her new duties as Student Activities Director, she said "I am in the process of looking at my job and finding what the scope of this job is. Students plan activities as interest develops; I offer my opinions and they make the final decisions. I'm available if something seems off-base, or off college policy. I am here to back students and to help them make sure all channels have been checked, and to make sure the students are aware of these channels. So it's actually a matter of me being aware of what is going on." Some of her responsibilities include defining and interpreting for students the powers and responsibilities of student government; aiding students in successful participation in self-government; coordinating the activities of student government, student organizations, and student social groups; directing and supervising the tot a 1 student activity program, including intramurals, social activities, and special events (speech contests, dances, etc.); assisting faculty advisers of student activities; supervising the expenditures of the associated students' budget; and assisting students in establishing policies and procedures for the development, formation, and regulation of student clubs and social organizations. The new director is also the staff advisor for the Student Senate, and is required to travel as an adviser when ASB officers and Student Senate members must attend a conference. She is also in charge of announcements over the public address system and all posters and fliers pertaining to students. Such announcements or posters must be cleared through her office. This very business-minded blonde is certainly qualified in her field. She received an Associate of Arts degree at Colorado Women's College, and holds a B.A. in journalism. She has also done graduate work in counseling at the University of Oregon. She be c am e active in the YMCA, which led to various executive positions on the regional and national level. Of her work as a counselor for the Oregon State Employment Service, she said: '' It was a good training ground for working with a wide variety of people." Mrs. Ekstrom became a counselor for LCC in 1967, and in 1968 took a leave of absence and received her masters degree in Student Personnel administration in Higher Education. "Women need to be on the administrative team,'' says Mrs. Ekstrom. She spends from 12 to 15 hours a day on her job and still finds time to keep in touch with her family--"two children, a dog, and a husband." She doesn't count herself a member of Women's Lib., but says "It's nice to have equality." She is at her best, she feels, when working with people. ''I have a high tolerance, I'm able to roll with the punches. This job consists of ambiguity and it builds up tolerance. Students have trust in the fact that I am honest. LCC has tremendous students and student officers." Haiku poetry gives her a great deal of relaxation. "I paint for my own amusement and I love to water ski." She also tries to read at least 1/2 hour each day and calls this "p r o g r am me d SKIERS.... Page 7 reading." She finds sewing frustrating and used to bowl and play bridge. Her primary interest is involvement with her family and its activities. Her husband is the manager for student services for project OTIS, a data processing firm. '' The personal growth I gain through exposure to people and viewpoints different from mine simply reinforces my vow to keep tuned into me and to that which is happening around me," she states. As those who work with her know, Betty E k s t r o m is '' right on."

If all your enthusiastic friends liked your playing cards in wild new colors, who would know if the public was ready for them? Or if you just had a '' great idea" and wanted to know just how good it really was, where would you go for help? The place to begin is the LCC Adult E du c at i o n Department, where Joris Johnson, Executive Secretary of the Oregon Inventors Council (OIC), has his office. He daily receives calls and letters from inventors, would-be inventors, people with ideas, and curious folk. As Co u n c i 1 administrator, Johnson sees that OIC fulfills its stated purpose "to promote and assist in the developm1~nt of ideas and inventions, with the objectives of creating new products, new or expanded industries and Home Ee group attends workshop Nineteen L CC Home Economics department staff members and students attended the fall workshop of the Oregon Association for the Education of Young Children in Portland Nov. 14. The workshop, held at Catlin Gabel School, dealt with "The W or 1d of Children's Books." Keynote speaker was Caroline Feller, Assistant Professor of Librarianship at the University of Oregon, who spoke on "The Art of Story Telling." Each person at the conference also participated in three short work groups, selected from topics including how to select books for children and handle story times, science books for the young, making and using puppets and combining them with books, making books at the arts and crafts table, special books for special situations such as the unhappy or angry child, acting out stories, books for boys songbooks, books on films and filmstrips, and poetry and fingerplays. Also available at the meeting were an original collection of books illustrations and a book sale. LCC participants included instructors Frances Clark, Joann Ellingson, Jill Heilpern, Gayle Sm it h, and 15 students in the Early Childhood Education pro- payrolls in Oregon." embedded lights blink should be and signing dollar fee~ a tenforms, can an mventor release of For have his i n v e n t ion thorough!

About the same time, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland was looking for a new sponsor for the dying OIC which was under its auspices. Then, when Governor Mark Hatfield asked LCC to !ake o_n ~he job, the college role m gutdmg inventors became a reality. The first O IC administrator was Dr. Ramon LeGrandeur, now LCC Associate Dean of Instruction. Johnson, his assistant, inherited the executive role in the Spring of 1968. "I was green as a gourd when I came into this work," Johnson said. But three years later, 60 inventions had been processed through the LCC office. Typical services inc 1u de d basic patent information which needn't be handled by an attorney, e v a 1u at ion of ideas and suggestions and referrals to manufacturers or helpful individuals. Early in 1970, Dr. Leslie Shaffer of the University of Oregon School of Business offered the Council the services of his class in Research in Applied Innovation. Students in this class had already been trained increative thinking in another of Shaffer's courses. As these students work on a one-to-one basis with the inventors, th,ey ap p 1 y their newly learned techniques to the inventors' problems·. After the inventions have been studied, they are brought before the entire Council for afi_nal evaluation report to the mventor. As a result of the booming interest shown by both the students and the inventors, and of increased publicity, about a hu,dred inventors have indicated inte rest since Spring of this year. Both Shaffer and Johnson have said they were pleased and "we need all the ideas we can get." According to Shaffer, no idea is ever '' ignored or laughed at or criti 1-:ized." Too mueh is stifled in this way, he said. One of the recent successes is the "Fisherman's Third Hand," a p I as tic, holster-li~e device to hold a fishing rod, which is now on the market in area stores. A plastic paper weight in which for the Christmas ti_mt~Shaffer. ready in said market, People often just want to share their idea_s. "Th~y're not in,: terested lil making money, . he said. As examples, Dr. Shaffer cited the man who designed a marble game for his grandchildren and wanted others to be able to enjoy it. Or the blind woman ~ho has designed a new sewmg machine device she claims can make sewing easier for others. Or the inventor of a new type Or the one who of swim fin. wants everyone to know that carpeting attached to soles of tennis shoes will make a walk in the mud less exasperating. Dr. Shaffer described the elcterly gentleman who ''was concerned that wheel chair patients could not participate in sports. So he made a bowling ball device (like a hand on a long handle) which a patient can use to push the ball. He claims it really works." other inventors just want someone to listen. Dr. Shaffer said a man in Eastern Oregon calls him at all hours of the day and night. "He has excellent ideas, but he just doesn't want criticism of any kind, not even minor suggestions." Another man believes a tunnel should be built from San Francisco to Portland, with the project financed by the ores discovered along the route. A young man from Portland m.erely wanted someone to figure out the difficulties he'd have in converting houses to house boats. He solved the problems and now several of his houseboats are on the Willamette River near Portland. A peach picker that can harvest the crop without bruising it But it's exis being tested. pensive, and "we don't provide funds " said Johnson. An~ther inventor has developed an engine which he claims will get 120 miles to the gallon of gasoline. He says the engine has been tested on a tractor. Unfortunately, the tractor is nowhere to be f o u n ct, said Dr. Shaffer. Getting new products on the market is sometimes difficult since companies often use their own personnel to develop new ideas. OIC has helped an inventor submit a new windshield washer to one of the major au tomobile manufacturers, but as yet there has been no response. Smaller companies sometimes shy away from involvement with inventors, especially if theyhave been involved in lawsuits, said Shaffer. other inventions that have been or are still being studied include pipes, earrings, folding hair brush, disposable grass catcher, playing cards, insulated lunch box, and a new drill for drilling curves on bits. These ideas are welcomed and encouraged by OIC. As both men have said, "I'm amazed at ideas people come up with. There is no limit."

HAWAIIAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS TALK over common problems with LCC Administrators Tuesday, Nov. 10. Language Arts Dept. offers flexibility by Cheryl Good Leaning back in his chair, John Howard tagged hims e 1fas ramrod, faculty c on f e s s o r, and trouble-shooter for the Language Arts Department at LCC. As Department Chairman Howard's job is concerned' with scheduling, in cooperation with t~e office of instruction; working with the budget; .and recrulfing staff members. All of his duties he emphasized, are in coopera~ tion with his Associate Dean Gerald Rasmussen. ' Aside from the visible duties Howard's position demands, there is the ever-present chal,_ lenge of maintaining good personnel relationships. Eighteen of the 30 instructors in the Language Arts Department are full-time contract staff. Exciting things are happening in the Language Arts Department but good thing's don't happen fast. Changes "sneak up on you." The major change in education is to do a better job as far as students are concerned. Howard stressed the importance of taking care of the students' needs, from counseling to teaching. One vivid example oftendingto the individual student's need is displayed in the Communication Skills program. Here, English skills are taught to vocational students. This English program .is flexible and open-ended. This is to say that each student works at his own rate and can complete the program as rapidly as he can finish the work. There is a special need for an English program such as this one, because there is a great range of ability among vocational students. Howard pointed out that a student should not be required to sit in class for three months when he can finish the program in a few weeks. The use of tape cassettes makes this flexible English program possible. Instructors in the Communications Skills pro- President sets open office hours President Schafer has set aside the hours from 2 to 4 p.m. on Monday afternoons to meet informally with students and staff. Anyone wishing to talk to Dr. Schafer is invited to stop by his office during those hours, or to make an appointment with him. gram include Evan Alford, Sam Blackwell, Tom Kepner, Don Smith and Barbara Hasbrouck. It is important in the Language Arts Department, as well as in any other aspect of education, to keep teaching techniques and learning materials up to date. What remains constant in its importance is the re-examination of basic curriculum to see if some courses are valid. Many older courses can be redesigned to be used to their greatest advantage. Howard elaborated: "We lack funds to free people who are interested in doing this kind of thing and keep them so busy teaching the old things, we don't have time to redesign to teach something new." Language Arts is now the second largest department on campus. Programs offered include: English, taught by Kay Anderson, Evenlyn Ave r y, Britta Hansen, Sheila Juba, Carole Mawson, Toni Robinson, Ted Rosomer, Mike Rose, De 1ta Sanderson, Cherry Taylor, Arthur Tegger, and Ruby Vonderheit. World Literature, taught by Ruth Bow man, Frank Miller, Ruth Bowman and Frank Miller. Shakespeare, taught by Paul Armstrong and Karen Lansdowne. Foreign languages: Ginny Nelson, French; Karla Schultz, German; and Arden Woods, Spanish. A new full-time instructor this year is Marilyn Waniek, who teaches a one-term course entitled '' The Negro in American Literature." This course covers literature from the Slave Narrative to the present. Although the Negro in American Literature is primarily a lecture class. Mrs. Waniek finds the students very enthusiastic and as a result, there is much class discussion. The main focus of the course deals with the artistic values of the works involved. Another new program offered by Language Arts this year is Children's Literature, taught by part time instructor Muriel Nilsen. The program trains students to act as teacher's aides in public schools, working with first and second graders. It also prepares students to help with pre-school day-care programs. Emphasis is placed in the course on the selection of learning m at e r i a 1s story telling, and book talks which are designed to interest the fiveyear-old in literature. What are the prospects for an expansion of the Language Arts program? The answer is evident--more money means more classes. However, the increase in number of classes can only go so far. A line has to be drawn somewhere to avoid saturating Lane facilities. With enough funds, Howard explained, LCC could very easily have a bigger enrollment than the U of O within the next four years. The remaining, and most important question projected by Howard is "How big are we going to let LCC e:et?" From left to right they are Jack Humbert, Dorothy Kohashi and James Embrey.

The KnickerBoettchers, champions of the Eastern Division, shattered the Jocks' hopes of a perfect record and their fantasyland dream of a basketball title with a strong second half, and a come-from-behind 142-138 victory. The Jocks, to the amazement of many, including themselves, quickly pulled out ahead, scoring in rapid fire action while turning the ball over to the KnickerBoettchers extremely quick defense just once en route to a 14point bulge at halftime - 80-66.

At half time there was a heavy shower, making the field much slower than before. In the second half the Lane team seemed to outrun the ball because it was slowed down so much by the surface water. As if not being able to generate an offense wasn't enough, the Lane team lost the services of goalie Abdullah Sedairi early in the second half. With Jack Johnson home with a knee injury, and A look at the ·pros by Bob Barley A rash of crippling injuries has struck professional football in 1970. Never before have so many players been carried, dragged, or lugged off the playing field. With the installation of synthetic turf in many of the leagues' foot b a 11 fields, major injuries were expected to decline sharply. But this has not been the case. The club hardest hit is probably the Green Bay Packers. The Pack came out of the exhibition with a fine record and renewed promises that the Pack would be back. But injuries to key personnel such as quarterback Bart Starr, linebacker Dave Robinson and running backs Travis Williams and Dave Hampton have set the Pack back.

Sedairi's injury getting hurt the Lane defense was at a disadvantage. Sedairi's injury seemed to hurt the team not only in the loss of his services but also in the way they played, as they seemed to lose spirit. The only bright spot for the Lane team was the fact that left wing Steve Meligan broke his four-game slump and scored the only Lane goal. After losing 5-1 to the OSU "C" team, the Titans were out to play better when they met the Oregon State "B" team here on Sunday, Nov. 15. With goalie Sedairi out, Jack Johnson played a very good game in allowing only 2 goals. The Lane team scored once in the second half but it wasn't enough to offset the two first half goals by am. The game was primarily a defensive battle as neither team was able to get an offensive drive going and the ball kept changing hands. Lane was hampered by a rash of injuries that put three defensive players out.

With two minutes left, the Jocks missed four shots in a row, and all the while the KnickerBoettchers drove the baseline for key two-pointers--and all of a sudden the K n i C k e r B O e t t C he r S led 137-131. With less than a minute left the Jocks trailed by two at 138~ 136. After they missed a key shot which would have tied the game, they ended up four behind.

Women's team defeats PSU 2-0 The LCC women's field hockey team defeated Portland State University 2-0 Tuesday , Nov.IO. During the first few minutes of play, the game was controlled by PSU. About midway through the first half LCC's Jan Sweeney fed Beth Smith the ball, and Beth scored the first goal. Miss Daggett was overheard commenting "Now that's hockey." The whole team looked surprised, to say the least, that they had scored against Portland State. From that p o int on Lane controlled the game, and quickly came back to score again. Portland St ate came back strong in the second half and threatened to score several times, but the Lane defense was ab 1e to block Portland's attempts.
