Red Fox, a sophomore majoring in political science, ran for ASLCC Treasurer last spring. He speculated that his previous candidacy was the reason he was appointed by the Student Senate to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Cherrie McMurray. Red Fox: 29, who plans to transfer to the U ofOtocomplete his political science degree, added that his second task will be to upgrade the position of treasurer "to make it an elite office." Lastly he revealed that he plans to publish a full financial state- ment in the TORCH in the near future. "I consider this my most important responsibility: keeping the student government and the students abreast of the financial situation," he concluded. Red Fox lists his office hours as 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The new treasurer pointed out that his job, as detailed in the constitution, will consist of keeping track of the expenditures of the student government. ''My first major problem is that there has been no previous standard accounting system. I intend to correct this by updating the fiscal policy governing this position," he explained. wr mm 1 Third World students form new coaliation by William N. Powell Recently a few students and staff of the Third World, e.g. Black, Chicano, Native American and Oriental people, have proposed formulating a campus coalition in order to promote and provide social, educational, cultural and economic activities and programs for present and future Third World students of Lane Comm unity · College. The "Third World" concept refers to the overall philosophical, historical, and political frame of reference in which ethnic studies are being developed. WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) educational institutions traditionally have emphasized their Judea-Christian, GrecoRom an, and European genealogy, biologically as well as culturally. The objectives of such a coalition are: 1) to encourage and assist in the establishment of supportive services for Third World students (tutoring, counseling, financial aids). 2) To encourage and assist in the recruitment of Third World students and staff at LCC. 3) To assist in the development of c o u r s e s dealing w it h Third World people. 4) To suggest and encourage. the creation of more courses in the Ethnic Studies Program. 5) To take a vocal stand against all oppressive and racist activities, be they local, national or international. There will be a meeting at 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, Nov.9 for a 11 Third W o r 1d People in Forum 309. This meeting will be for the purpose of electing officers, and planning activities for this coming year. All Third World People are expected to attend. , who offer to sponsor cour~es believe they have found soljlething important that makes life more meaningful to them. They seek to augment that meaningbypropogating the information or examining the meaning they have discovered by subjecting their view to the criticism ~of others. Commentingon -~piture of LCFS, Wooten is optintistic: "A lot of things are possible." He is always interested in more sub- jects and wants to meet with possible instructors to talk over ideas. He would like to see more classes dealing with welding, crafts, and practical research on social problems and urban planning. LCFS bas taken a large step in social problems with the publishing of its different and unusual catalog. It provides a comprehensive listing of services available to people seeking help in areas such as counseling, we~fare programs, lodging, and dropin centers. Fifteen pages are devoted to informantion concerning just about every service, shop, institution and program available in the local area. LCFS is interested in people. One doesn't get that "magic piece of paper" at LCFS. One gets a better understanding of environment, the people in it, and perhaps a better understanding of oneself. Lane County Free School (LCFS) is truly a free school, run by and for the people of Lane County. ~rating at the level of private society, it is not government sponsored. It is open to the general public, . offering a wide variety of unique classes, including woodworking, cooking, discussions on poetry, philosophy and social problems.

Fall Term is already in progress but pro- . spective students can register sometime in late January for the next term. No degrees, certificates, or diplomas are awarded at the ·Free School: classes emphasize making life more meaningful for students. '' Free School pertains to what people can do, and provides sources of information not normally available," asserts Cindy Wooten, wife of Bill Wooten, . LCFS's founder and chief. Bill Wooten estimates that between 250 to 300 people are currently enrolled in 50 classes. Some have not paid their tuition fee, but attend the classes anyway, bringing the total number of students to well over 300. The Wooten's started LCFS in June , 1969, .offering 70 classes.

Cannikin, the underground test of a nearfive megaton nuclear warhead by the United States, apparently went off without a hitch Saturday, contrary to fears of environmentalist groups and many people who voiced concern for world safety in an effort to halt the test. That the nuclear blast produced no immediate damaging after-effects is a relief. But it in no way excuses the fact that the test was held on schedule despite loud disapproval voiced by the American public. That action is an outrage to the concept of a government representative of the people. The nuclear device, approximately 250 times more powerful than the atomic bomb which leveled more than 60 per cent of Hiroshima in 1945, was detonated some 6000 feet below ground level in a test that Atomic . Energy Commission officials say proved the nuclear warhead would be workable on a Spartan Antiballistic Missile. The AEC says the warhead can now be lofted above the earth's atmosphere by the Spartan ABM to produce "a curtain of radiation through which enemy ICBMs would have to pass". The radiation, according to the AEC, would cause atomic structural changes in the missile's electrical components and render them useless. The test, which many feared would produce earthquakes, tidal waves or damaging radiation leaks, showed no signs of producing any undesirable after-effects at all, except perhaps that the Spartan can now be introduced into the nation's already bristling inventory of weapons. However, the precautionary tidal wave alert, issued an hour before the test, lends credence to the fears of many that something could conceivably have gone wrong. One miscalculation, one minor error when dealing with an explosive power equal to approximately five million tons of TNT, could have serious consequences of which the American people should have been informed by the government, and given ample opportunity to consider. Such was not the case, however. The first roadblock to delaying the test came when Congress expressly delegated to President Nixon the decision of whether to detonate the bomb. The second came just hours before the explosion when the Supreme Court voted 4-3 not to delay the test. Justices William J. Brennan, Jr., Thurgood Marshall and William O. Douglas wanted to delay the blast so the Court could consider the merits of the opponents' arguments, noting that the case presented '' a substantial question as to the legality of the proposed test." They were outvoted, 'however, by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, and Justices Potter Stewart, Harry A. Blackmun, and Bryon R. White. They issued their order denying a delay without comment. That national security could be injured by a delay in the test, as argued by Solicitor General Erwin N. Griswold in his presentation to the Supreme Court, is absurd. If United States security is in such a precarious position as to be injured by a short delay in a test that the American people may not even want, why conduct the test at all? Why not attach the warhead to the Spartan missile and hope for the best? It makes about as much sense. When Congress expressly delegated to President Nixon the decision of whether to detonate the bomb, that was an injustice to the American people. A national emergency did not exist. When President Nixon fajled to respond to the pleas of the American people, that was an injustice. When a majority of the Supreme Court denied a delay of the test without comment, that was a slap in the face to every person who believes in justice. Such action by all three branches of the government poses one burning question that affects us all: For whom is the United States Government acting? Business office withholds checks A situation exists currently in the Business Office which is very close to intolerable. Presently, students receive their loan checks through the Business Office. That is, if a student obtains a loan from some commercial source, such as a bank or loan company, he must go to the Business Office to receive his money. Once the Business Office is in possession of the checks, it refuses to release them to the person whose name appears on the check unless that person agrees to pay whatever he owes the college, on the spot. The powers that be have two explanations for this policy: first, they say that many people have taken the money and left school without paying tuition, or other fees and second, since part of the money has been budgeted for payment of tuition, they have the right to receive payment before releasing the checks. It's not too difficult to see through this sort of reasoning. In saying that the college must protect itself from these losses by collecting the money before releasing the check, the administrators are in effect saying it is impossible to trust anyone who borrows money to go to school. They are, by utilizing this procedure, and by using the rationale of past financial losses, mak.:. ing the procedure a punitive action aimed at people who are guilty of nothing. The second reason, that the money is to cover tuition anyway, is linked to the first. (In order to receive a loan, a student must submit a budget of his expenses, only about 30% - of which is for tuition). However, if one were to follow the Business Office's line of reasoning, one would reach the conclusion that since the check is also to cover rent, food, etc., the Business Office should send whatever money is left when they are finished to the student's landlord, who would send what he doesn't take to the grocery store, etc. Added to the other things wrong with the situation is the questionable legality of the practice. The checks in question are made out only to the student who has been granted the loan. The student who is to receive the check has already signed a promissory note agreeing to repay the loan at a rate of 7% interest; this is no small matter. He is legally accountable for the money, and should not be subjected to such harassment. Acting on this information, it looks as though the Business Office has no right to hold the checks. It would appear as though this procedure is merely an exercise of power on the part of the administrators in control. They, apparently, are making an arbitrary stand which they have no real right to make. They are, apparently, getting away with it simply because the people to whom they are doing this don't know any better. If the administration really has no legal basis for this practice, then the entire situation is blatant misuse of power. The idea of sending checks to the school is questionable. Allowing the Business Office to get away with such tactics is unthinkable. Nex.t I see World War I . No statistics?r. ..

To the Editor: In the Oct. 26 TORCH, Jack Hart stated that he had inter•• viewed Mr, Ames, manager of Food Services on the price of eggs. It was not my impression that he was conducting an interview for publication in the school paper. That being made clear, the least we could do would be to define my understanding of what took place during this interview. I was under the impr":!ssion that Mr. Hart was interested in the operational proceedings of Food Service and not simply acting as a self-appointed price regulator. I gave valuable time to explain how pricing wo_rks. Less expensive items ~ompared to the more expensive and how one offsets the other. From this, he seemed only to deduce that our pricing system was only to support training programs. He made no mention of the fact that Baron of Beef currently costs us in cooked form, $1.35 a pound and we in turn sell it for .65 for 4 to 6 ounces. Yogurt, which he mentioned costs .25, which we • sell for .30. Milk, a high-sales product, costs .09 per 8 ounce glass and we charge .10. These figures do not include cost of labor, only the cost of the item itself. There are many other items served in all three areas which Mr. Hart seems to have overlooked. It w o u 1d be appreciated if I am going to be quoted that that that quote should be both accurate and kept in context. - - --- Egg cetera Lane Community College RtH The innocent bystander Bill Bauguess by Arthur Hoppe Chronicle Features If he isn't making the surprise appointment of a Texas Democrat to his Cabinet, he's holding a surprise meeting in Alaska with the Emperor of Japan.

To the Editor: I would like to reply to the article b:,, Jack Hart on eggs. In his opening paragraph, he stated that '' so doing some quick calculations." I think this statement is the whole key to his rambling on hard-boiled eggs. If he had taken as much time calculating as he must have interviewing one hundred people, he could have come up with a truer price and probably would not have printed this rediculous article in the first place. I do agree the wholesale price of eggs is 36 cents a dozen. Additional costs need to be figured in with this, however. All the personnel in the Food Service area are not students, thank goodness. In addition to the head cooks in each department, there are supervisory personnel, a secretary, dish washers, waitresses, sanitation workers (janitors), security guards, electrical repairmen and others that all receive wages. When the eggs walk in the back door at 36 cents, they have to be refrigerated. Refrigeration does not operate for nothing; those compressors take a lot of electricity. Eggs are cooked on a gas stove; this also adds to the cost. Then cold water is run over them to cool them and make the eggs easier to peel. What do you do with the shells?

Funding ' to be on ballot .. ' Amchitka, athletic funding, President's concern by Omar Barbarossa ASLCC President In keeping with my stated promise to inform, on a weekly basis, the student body about what's ha~pening on your campus, I am making the followmg report to the students. One of the real topics of concern on our campus this week was the issue of· whether we should take a stand in favor of, or in opposition to, the proposed Amchitka nuclear test scheduled for this past Saturday at 2:00 p.m. As of this writing, we do not know whether the planned blas_t has transpired. Nevertheless, it is my feeling that the American people should voice their viewpoint on a question that is of such paramount importance both to our environment and to the physical repercussions that would eminate from this "experiment." There were some members of the Student Senate, although they were a minute minority, who felt that we should not engage in, or take an official • stand on, this situation. I disagree. I am amazed that, all too often, we immerse and deceive ourselves into thinking that we can have no view or effect on the course of events which take place in our country. Whether you are for somethin_g. or against it, it is your responsibility as a citizen to make your viewpoint known. I personally do not condone and have called for a condemnation of the Amchitka test. There were · many petitions circulated and donations were taken to send telegrams to the President of the United States, to the Atomic Energy Commission, and to Senator Clinton P. Anderson. It is unfortunate that we cry about the fact that change comes too slowly or that the "establishment" does not respond to what youth is saying. If student government is to function in a capacity of leadership, then student government should not be intimidated or even be timid about asserting itself in this capacity. It takes courage to take a stand ~n a controversial issue; but then, there really is no other alternative. Slogans about peace, love, and "right-on" simply are not enough to get the job done. I am going to call for a ballot measure to be introduced in the Fall Elections that will give the students a chance to voice either their endorsement of, or non-support through student body fees of, the athletic program here at LCC. There has been much questioning and criticism about the fact that we have allotted $17,000 to athletics, which supports a small segment of the student population; while, on the other hand, we have given only $500 to our Student Awareness Center, which tries to meet the needs and services of all of the students on this campus. People have asked where our head's at; or, in other words, what are our priorities. This is a valid question; so, through the ballot, you, the students, will be able to vote "yes" or "no" for athletics. Another issue which I will put to the ballot is the question of whether we should utilize stu- Pae:e 3 Planned Paren.fhoo d has new clinic Mrs. Pat Paschke, public health nurse, and James Ringrose of Planned Parenthood recently announced the expansion of Lane County's fa mi I y planning program.

We are now forming a student committee that will draw-up the guidelines for the application procedures and the criteria for deciding which students will have priority in renting the apart9 ments. I have already recommended that Mr. Marston Morgan be named advfsor to this committee because he has labored and put-forth a SPECIAL RATES lot of personal effort, through the President's office, to see that this need for student housing was met. This is another example of what can happen when students are vocal and demonstrate their needs. Mayor Anderson of the City of Eugene stated to me that he felt one of the ways student governments can communicate with city government is by having representation from the student body at th~ City Council meetings. I have, therefore, appomted Mel Wood, student publicity director, and Jay Bolton, second vice-president, to serve as official representatives, on an alternating basis, to the City of Eugene council meetings-with the stipulation that they make a report of what transpires at the meetings. From noon to 7:00 p.m. seven days a week At the Senate's retr.?at, I would like to try something different. Something that will be more constructive and meaningful, not just for the Senate, but foz: other segments of the campus community. As a consequence, I am going to recommend that we invite the College President, the Board members, the Dean of Students and the President of the Staff Association. ; re(continued on page 4) l ~'!!~!~., W ·1________________l ;i Mon ..-Fri. until 6p.m. DOWN UNDER Hot Dogs 10~ Pool & suds Located under the Hunter Room PLAYLIST A grass roots interest and recognized by the OSPIRG State STEREO FM 90.3 I.

The above criticism has been heard from time to time by students, Student Senators and others critical of Lane's "student apathy." Apathy has also been symptomatic of a school group calling themselves Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group. OSPIRG-a coalition of students from Oregon's two and four-year schools who are concerned with pollution, environmental abuse, and such things as consumer fraud-has grown to the extent that the University of Oregon's chapter has nearly two -h und red students working for a better, or at least cleaner state of Oregon. O the r schools in the state. though on a smaller scale, have exemplified the keen interest and participation of s tu de n t s in OSPIRG. Until recently, LCC-OSPIRG had been decaying. The problem had been singular-apathy. This school term, though has seen some change from th i s apathy to a healthy activity in OSPIRG's new office. At its meeting Nov. 3, and at two previous meetings in October, nearly a dozen students came to pledge their help and the continuation of OSPIRG at Lane. But more hands and bodies are needed, according to Cheryl Burgess, local coordinator. ...Gu.rrently,_i;.,cc is not officially TORCH Nov. 9 w *Debut/For the Week of November -8-15, 1971 KLCC FM/Playlist No. 55 * 23.

Is there anything that can be done to achieve this goal? Economist: Let me ask you a question first. Why is full employment a worthy national goal? --· - • Man on the Street: Because if you have full employment you have prosperity. Economist: If that were true, you could bet that most governments would have already legislated prosperity into existence, - - not that they haven't tried. Russia, China, Cuba and a host of totalitarian and socialist countries claim to have full employment. Chaingangs, prisons, and natives in the jungle are fully employed. Yet prosperity is conspicuously absent in all these examples. The easiest goal to attain is full employment, if it's considered as an end in itself. With the support of its citizens a country could always institutionalize massive full employment progrms. Only one problem - - programs of this kind have all been tried before and have never worked. If it were possible to create prosperity by law, the totalitarian nations would be the most prosperous nations of all, Siberia would be the production capital of the world, and science of economics could content itself with the investi.gation of the operating principles of chaingangs and prisons where unemployment is non-existent. The fact is, most popular "solutions" to economic problems usually consist of only dealing with the effects of those problems rather than identifying their causes. The popular theory, "When you have full employment, you have prosperity," is backwards. It should be reversed to read, "When you have prosperity, you have full employment." It is this kind of theoretical error that can destroy a country, especially if practiced by a government on a large scale. The cause of prosperity is not employment it is PRODUCTION. Employment is simply a biproduct of production. M.O.S: What distinction is made between production and employment? Economist: Production is the creation of ·, goods capable of satisfying human needs and subsequent desires. This definition presupposes that WHAT IS PRODUCED be determined by what individuals believe will further their life and happiness, and that it has the capacit~, to fulfill that function. The cause of production is MAN'S INTELLIGENCE and his ability to transform his thoughts into material goods to further his life. EMPLOY MENT is merely the means to this end. To best understand the distinction, look at what is necessary for the economic prosperity of just one man alone on a desert island.If the man is to live, he must produce the goods necessary for his survival. Production of goods is the object. The method to attain this production is the work required to achieve that objective. His standard of living will rise to the Nov. 9 TORCH MAC accepts CC degrees degree that he produces the goods which are essential, useful, and satisfying to him. But suppose somewhere he once heard that full employment leads to prosperity, and went around digging ditches. It would not matter how long or how hard he worked, he could not increase his standard of living. On the contrary he would be much worse off. He would have to admit that full employment without production will not add to his well being. He would have to admit this or he would die. Prosperous economies can die of the same unnatural causes. The proper method of a.:. chieving prosperity for a nation of men is no different from that of one man. The method is to maximize production. The mere fact that people are working does not guarantee increased production and prosperity. You can have full employment without full production, but you can't have full production without considerable employment. Again, employment is a by-product of production. Any attempt to reverse this natural order will reverse any trend of prosperity. M.O.S.: But isn't it the intention of those who advocate full employment to try to provide jobs that are productive? Econ.: Isn't it ESSENTIAL for every employer to provide jobs that are productive? An employer doesn't need a politician to urge him to increase his production. If there is any possible way to expand his business, he will find it. Remember, he's in the business of producing. There is a big difference in the motives of most politicians and economists who want to increase employment and those of the employers. Today's policy makers believe in employment for employment's sake. Production, they think, will be a by-product of employment. If employers thought like this, they would hire as many workers as possible and sit back and wait for the money to roll in. Incredibly, this is what most of our leading politicians and economists are doing right now! But fortunately, entrepreneurs are much brighter about these matters. An entrepreneur is a person who, in the course of production, assumes the responsibilities of organization, management and risk. He is the man who realizes, in order to compete successfully, he must be concerned with increasing the quality and/or appeal of a product, thereby increasing his production; In this way, he can expand his business. And when he's ready to do that, he will only be too glad to ''fully employ" the best men he can find. The full employment doctrine is a myth. Those who advocate full employment as a means of achieving prosperity present to men the ILLUSION of prosperity. Going through the motions of p rod u c i_n g will not result in production. The next time you hear a policy maker _ r ecommend full employment as a national priority, remember the man on the island digging ditches. That policy maker aims to have a nation "digging ditches." And that's why he's dangerous. • Mt. Angel (Special) - Beginning this Fall Term, Mt. Angel College is accepting accredited community college associate arts degrees in total, and community college course work, other than remedial, according to John H. Baker, vice president and a~demic dean. "The effeet of this action," states Baker, "hopefully will be to ensure that students are allowed full credit for valid college level work and to assume those programs will be organic to the types of programs elected at Mt. Angel." He added: "Much credit refusal has been based on the rather snobbish premise that only the home institution can do a rather comparable course as it should be done." Baker concluded: "The effect of the new liberal policy may be to force us into a careful examination of third and fourth year programs that relate more specifically to needs that students bring." A precedent for this decision, which was passed in a recent meeting of the Mt. Angel College Academic Council. was initiated with the College's to-. tal il.c c ept anc e of the lawenforcement program from Chemeketa Community College. HOT LINE Uptight?

Many government agencies have said the underground press prints material of a dangerous and inUndoubtedly cendiary nature. King George III shared such senti·ments. The re is no way to talk about the underground press in a way that makes one paper consistent with the other. Contrary to the Government's fears, there is little, if any, conscious uniformity about them. There are general characteristics many of them THE share. Yet when one tries to formalize the ties among them, one fails because some little single-sheet paper in the Mid- . west may defy this sort of definition. There is one coherent nucleus around which most (again not all) of the underground press revolve. That nucleus is Liberation News Service (LNS). LNS is the wire service for the underground press, formed in 1967 in Washingtha~ time o~y the :ton 1 • o~c•, by Bill Dwyer it for awhile. Nevertheless, out of this experience came the Augur. This level of formality continued during the entire process of the Augur's creation. Johnson spoke to Bill Wooten, who was running the Free School out, out of the Ransom Building; Wooten liked the idea. He gave them a room in the Free School, and this became the news central, bureau offices, and hangout for the Augur. Two weeks after these historic events, the Oct.14, issue was on the streets. The first issue, like succeeding is- · sues, dealt with comm1mes in . the area, the Eugene peace movement, the Conspiracy Eight Trial, labor strikes, and urban renewal. The staff then, and now, is abso 1u t e 1y impermanent. Anyone who w ant s to write something does so, and it is printed. The writing isn't always news, information, or even interesting. But the material that finds its way to a page in the Augur is rarely found in the RegisterGuard. And unlike the Guard, the Augur has never had an editor, no r a rep o rt e r, nor a photographer. .As Johnson puts it, "the Augur was, from the beginning, an experience in participatory journalism." The staff was a collective-wher e editorial responsibility was shared by all. Today this collective responsibility remains. • With the Augur, a number of people make a subsistence living selling it. A hawker makes a dime on every copy he sells. In Eugene sales are limited by population. In large cities like San Francisco or Berkeley, a person can make up to $70 a week by selling papers. When the Augur first came out, two policemen (off duty) came by to have a look around. Printers have refused to print certain things, which means that the Augur, like every paper, have seen at least several printers come and go. Johnson made it clear however, that compared to large city underground papers, the Augur has had the barest amount of flak from city officials or anyone else. Luna and Johnson left the Augur last August. At that time, the Augur was taking a more political and less cultural perspective. The Augur was changing. Johnson didn't agree with the change at that time, but he let it happen. .As Johnson said, "the paper doesn't belong to anyone, it belongs to everyone." Since that time the paper has gone through many otner changes like the first: there is more community coverage: each week there is coverage of the activities done by the var10us cooperatives in the Eugene area; there is an ongoing series of drug information articles put out by the Rainbow Family. And each week a lot of people read the Augur. The Augur was formed because several people felt there was a need for it. TI1ese severalpeople didn't want to get into "straight journalism." Johnson now works for the Bullfrog Magazine. The other day Paul Gratz was laying out the paper--most papers are born this way. The revolutionary broadsides of the American Colonists were no more structured than the Augur. At this point many underground papers are fading away-not be- cause they go broke, norbecause they are suppressed, but because people no longer need them. When they are neded again, the scene is repeated. When Eugene no longer needs the Augur, it will inevitably fade. The Augur was born informally as it will someday die. This is clear bv the question printed on the cover of their first issue: "Have you the courage to start over?" That is what the Augur does. It starts over. ,- ~,~,...,i:.'i~~i :·1·~f1ji~ •11&1 "' ~:.' .,, r~ I ; ' • - . ' •• ,• -~ , ( er4fil ' ; I z au,,.

I 1 • by Bill Hirning , The Titans are the Region 18 cross country champions. The runners are naturally happy, but the happiness seems a bit anticlimatic, because they will not have a chance to compete for the National Junior College cross country t it 1e . The reason for Lane's absence at the nationals · in Danville, Ill. is a very basic one: There is no money! Why? The ~tudent Government has not allocated, and will not allocate, the money to make the trip. Why? Aside from the obvious conclusions, that I have drawn in previous articles, that the Senate is very anti-sports, is the fact that the government feels it is in trouble with the students. Why? Much publicity has been given in this paper to certain misgivings of this student administration. I feel there is no need to elaborate. However, I think that the Senate's approach to I the "pacification" of student outcry merits some comment. Suddenly the Senate is operating in the "better interest" of the student at large. The Student Gove r nm en t is accomplishing this by providing, at no cost to the student, coffee and doughnuts and milk during midterms and finals. This action smells of "Public Relations." The Senate's rationale, for providing a service to a large number of students with the money ($2.00) which each student gives to the Senate each term, seems basically sound at first analysis. Howe var, after mulling the situation over, it seems less rational and more foolish. If this sort of rationale is carried to its extreme (more than $3,000 yearly) the Senate can give my money back and I'll buy my own coffee and doughnuts and milk, during midterms and finals. Maybe I am mistaken but I thought the money was being taken from students, to the tune of $50,000 this year, so the LCC, SOC tie 2-2 John Thompson's Oregon Gossip It's nice that Al Tarpenning's LCC Cross Country Team won the Region 18 Championship in Roseburg, Saturday, Nov. 6. However, they may not compete in the nationals, because the LCC policy is that the Student Senate must approve the funds necessary for the Titan runners to go, and that they have not done. So, Lane stays home. There seems to be a de-emphasis of athletics at LCC, and this is tragic. It is tragic, because it seems to me that most of the students at Lane have the pride necessary for the school to excel in every phase, not just academically. All we have to do is look north to Mt. Hood, southwest from there to Clackamas, and east to Treasure Valley. These schools have established vigorous athletic programs. Mt. :Hood is currently competing in 1the Washington Community Coll[ege Football League, and doing ,iuite well. They have other fine t eams. Mt. Hood's philosophy ils to excel in athletics as well ns in the academic world, and they are succeeding. LCC should follow. Saturday Lane edged out Ricks College of Rexburg, Idaho, 2:9-36. Ricks' Jamie Stark was winner in 20:35. Titan runners Dale Hammitt and Bill Cram f:inished second and third, respectively. The remainder of t11e Titan team also placed. This was a tremendous team effort by the Titans. Considering LCC i~: Regional Champion, it is a pf ty that Ricks, and not LCC, will bE~ representing Region 18 at the nationals. Well, the Stanford Indians, defe:nding Conference and Rose Bowl champs, are the 1971 Pmc-8 Conference champs as we·ll.

Few teams go un:iefeated in this era of footballo Wow! The Axemen of South Eugene are some kind of a football team. Coach Dave Powell's gridders stunned North Eugene 27-0 Friday, Nov. 5 at Autzen to gain a spot in the state playoffs. In their gigantic victory, South held a very good North team to just 33 yards in total offense. Combining that defense with a fine running and passing game, the Axemen boosted their lead in the inter-city rivalry to 10-3, and their winning streak over two seasons to 15. Coach Powell said it: "Yes, this was a very big one." It was that, and now South meets the Marshall Minutemen of Portland in the quarter finals. The Axemen look good enough to capture all the marbles. Looking at records: R. "Shug" Jordan, head football coach of Auburn with his team's 30-21 victory over Mississippi State Saturday, now has a 145-66-5 win, loss, tie record in this, his 21st season. Saturday's win was the eighth this season without a loss or tie, and the Tigers are ranked fifth nationally. "Bear" Bryant, Jordan's rival at Alabama, receives most of the publicity from that state. However, Jordan just keeps winning game~ without flamboyance, and his winning record just becomes more impressive with each season. Accolades are in order for the Portland Trailblazers once again since they downed the Houston Roe kets 112-11 O in Houston, Thursday, Nov. 4. The "Big E", Elvin Hayes 28 points weren't enough for the Rockets, as Sidney Wicks, the Trailblazer's rookie, combined a fine scoring and rebounding game to lead the Blazers out of the cellar and into fourth place in the Pacific Division of the NBA. The LCC Titans closed out their cross country season with with a Region 18 Junior College Ch~.mpionship Saturday. The meet was held at the Sutherlin Knolls Golf Course in Roseburg. The Titans withstood strong competition from Ricks College of Rexburg, Idaho to take the Championship 29 to 36. Lane will not advance to the National Championships on Nov. 13 in Danville, Illinois because of lack of funds. Although the Titans took the team honors, it was a Ricks runner, Jamie Stark, who ran away with the individual honors with a winning time of 20:35. Dale Hammitt and Bill Cram, who have been the top Titan runners all year, took second and third place honors with times of 21:05 and 21:08, respectively. INDIVIDUAL: (Four Miles) I. Jamie Stark, Ricks, 20:35; 2. Dale Hammitt, LCC, 21:05; 3. Bill Cram, LCC, 21:08; 4. Jerry Miller, Ricks, 21:12; 5. Pete Cambell, Ricks, 21:17; 6. Dave Robinson, Flathead, 21:21; Senate could ''do something" for the students. I am sure the students could buy their own refreshments with the two bucks. So what else could be. done? Send the cross country team to the national championships? Perhaps not, but it would accomplish more good than feeding a few students some coffee and doughnuts and milk. It would at least show that the Senate was trying to promote excelience on campus. I'm sure that if it were an academic team (such as a debate team or biology team) which shows excellence, there would be little difficulty in persuading the Senate to pay the bill. There seems to be some derogatory connotations about athletics. Some folks think they have no place on campus. I disagree. Athletics, Ii k e any program, vocational or co 11 e g e transfer, is part of the "learning _experience." Student Senate, why free coffee and doughnuts and milk? Tomen's Hockey Team The LCC women's field hockey team hosted a tie game with Southern Oregon College (SOC), Friday, Oct. 29. The Lane team, unsure of SOC's strategies, was caught off _guard shortly after the game got underway when SOC's center forward scored the first goal. Although both teams threatened to score several times, the half ended with no change in the score. ·Halfway through the second half, SOC scored again during a penalty bully between Lane's goalie and SOC's center forward. However, Lane recovered late in the second half when Jan Hull put LCC on the score board for the first time in the game. Next, Lavada Barber, and Lisa Fox, combined for the •final 2-2 tie.

Searl will be joined by Harvey o. Bennett, a former Cottage Grove instructor, now assistant professor of Education at Eastern Oregon College. The workshop will be devoted to learning how geography teachers from the elementary through college levels can use their local community as the basis for geography study, focusing on how spacial . organization effects growth patterns and other socioeconomic characteristics of a locale. Searl and Bennett have worked in Cottage Grove, and later in conducting seminars in geography education at the University of Oregon. Searl still teaches summer classes for geography teachers at the University. The pair are co-authors with Larry King of Portland Community College of a book on Oregon geography entitled "Places People Live, an Urban and Social Geography." They also have participated in national school trials of e'A)erimental instructional materials for geography education. The national convention will be concerned with six major contemporary issues considered from the perspective of the local community. One of the principal speakers will be Dean Rusk, former Secretary of State anq now on the University of Georgia School of Law faculty.
