LCC was located in downtown Eugene from its opening in 1964 to 1968. The present campus was built at a cost of 20 million dollars. LCC also has "extention campuses>' in Florence, Cottage Grove, Junction City and Oakridge. Tuition is $90 per term or nine dollars per credit hour up to 10 hours. TORCH to be twice-week~y Jack Anderson to garnish editorial page Jack Anderson, a record review column, current campus news, news from other campuses throughout the state and country, a column about chess I and a weekly feature about people who change things are just some of the regularly scheduled articles planned for this year's LCC student newspaper, the TORCH, which is beginning its eighth year of publication. Jack Anderson and his Washington Merrygo-Round, the watchdog of the government, has caught the public attention and won Anderson the Pulitzer Prize for reporting. Dave Chance, KLCC music director and cohost of the "Morning Show," will write a regular review column on current albums. " Catalytic People '' will be a weekly feature about LCC people who change things or cause things to be changed will be written by TORCH editor Jim Gregory. But, most of the 8 to 12 pages of the TORCH will contain current news stories about LCC events and people. The TORCH , on the newstands by 1 p.m. every Tuesday, will also be the newspaper to read for information on campuses throughout the state and the country. Plans are now being formulated to publish the TORCH twice weekly with special feature supplements published several times throughout the year. The staff hopes to begin its twice weekly publication either in late November or the beginning of Winter Term. The first supplement, about local and national political candidates,is scheduled for publication Oct. 31. To get where it is now the TORCH has undergone many changes and many staffs. The first TORCH was published Nov. I, 1965 as an eight page monthly. The lead story of the first paper was about then Oregon Governor Mark Hatfield presenting a charter to LCC. That edition also contained a story about the new campus that was to be built on 30th Avenue (LCC was located in downtown Eugene until 1968.) The first issue was not named TORCH, but "Name the Newspaper." Some of the suggested names for the paper were Lane Life, Lane Community Broadcaster and College Caper. The second {ssue was named TORCH but with no explaination. In the Fall Term of 1966 the paper became a four page weekly and in Winter Term of the same year changed its size from tabloid (the present size of the TORCH) to standard (the size of the Eugene Register-Guard). At that time the paper was written on campus but the stories and headlines had to be set, the photos screened, and the paper pasted up at the Springfield News because the TORCH had no equipment of its own. At the end of Fall Term 1967 the paper was again reduced to a four page weekly tabloid and remained that size until Fall Term 1969 when it became an eight page weekly, its present size. Today's TORCH staffers have the opportunity to learn far more about newspaper journalism than did the early journalism students at LCC because the newspaper owns all of its own equipment to set copy and headlines, and has complete paste up facilities and a fully equipped darkroom. LCC also offers journalism classes that teach students the fundamentals of straight news ' and feature writing, copy and news editing, and the use of production equipment. This Fall Term two Newswriting I classes are offered;· one is offered . from 10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays (TLN-SEC number 1341-01, course number J216) and the other one from 1 to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays (TLN-SEC number 1341-02, course number J216). Those who enroll in either of the two newswriting classes must also take Newswriting Lab, but the lab is scheduled for the same times as above but on Monday so that students will have no scheduling problems with the two classes. Both labs have course number J215; the TLN-SEC number for the 10 to 11 a.m. class is 1340-01 and 1340-01 for the 1 to 2 p.m. class. Also offered to those with journalism experience is News Editing (TLN-SEC 1401-13, course number J218) from 10 a.m. to noon every Thursday. Prerequisite for this class is Newswriting I or equivalent experience. This class will write and edit supplements for the TORCH, such as the one scheduled in October on political (continued on page four) On September 6 the LCC Board of Education gave unanimous consent to the ASLCC's proposal to raise student body fees by three dollars a term for full time students and to the Senate' s proposed 1972- 73 budget. The Board also voted to send Ben Kirk's proposed Science In Your Life course back to the instructional staff and administration for course outline modi fication. Students will now pay 50 cents per credit hour, to a m-aximum of 10 hours (a f ull time student) instead of a flat two dollar student body fee. The i ncrease in student body fe es, pl us an anticipated increase in bookstore and vend i ng machine recei pts and a cash carryover from the 1971-72 school year will increase the ASLCC's annual budget from l ast year's $58,400 to $106,300. (See break down of budget, pages 6& 7.) Board Chairman Robert Mention, in discussion of the proposed budget, sai d he was concerned about the amount of the increase pr oposed without some i ndication from the students as to what they desired. John Loebe r , student health services coordi nator, replied that even though the TORCH had published an ar ticle (June 27) explaining the budget and t he fees inc r ease no students had come to any of the weekl y executive cabinet mee tings this summer to protest the budget incr ease. Mention r et orted no citizens had attended the Board meetings this yea r to protest ~CC's budget either, but they kept voting it down anyway, The Boar d voted to send Kirk' s proposed science cou r se back for modification after learning that the Oregon Board of Education had refused to grant transfer credit or state financial reimbursment for the science course as presently proposed. It was at the LCC Board's last meeting, Aug. 9, that they had decided to offer the course on an experimental basis. At the end of Fall Term the cou-rse and instructor were to undergo a full evaluation by an independent evaluation committee. Carrol deBroekert, Oregon Board of Education associate superintendent, explained in a letter that Kirk's course was turned down because a student enrolling in the class may not " ...be receiving actual transfer credit instruction in a science class." deBoekert continued: ''The course, as outlined, simply fail s to provide the general science foundations one would normally expect from the science curricula." But, he added, LCC "can still offer the course as a non-statereimbursable and a non-credit course if the college Board wishes to do ;:;o and subsidize it from local resources." Dr. Eldon Schafer, LCC president, told the Board that it would cost LCC $11,200 of its own money to finance the course. Board member Robert Ackerman told the Board that the University of Oregon offers similar courses for credit, and added, "It seems that the price of innovation is pretty steep." The Board then approved a motion "To refer the course Science In Your Life back to the instrqction staff and the administration, and request a consultant on science from the State Department of Education to cooperate in modifying the course outline of this course so that it will meet requirements for transfer credit and reimbursement through the State Department of Education." Only John Barber dissented. In other business the Board voted to place on the Nov. 7 general election ballot a proposal to raise the LCC tax base to $2.6 million dollars. The present tax base is $1. 79 million dollars. A tax base is the amount of money LCC, or any other public agency, can levy every year without a vote of the taxpayers. And, under the Oregon Constitution this tax base may be increased by six per cent each year without a vote of the people. Schafer told the Board that the voters have indicated by vote in (continued on page four) GI B.ill delayed but yet to come Veterans attending school under the GI Bill may yet receive an increase in benefits although not as much nor as_soon as earlier expected. Many vets hopes of larger monthly educational allowances were raised last month as the US Senate unanimously passed a measure increasing payments from the present $175 to $250 a month for a single vet. A measure increasing veterans benefits to $200 a month for a single vet had been passed earlier this summer by the House of Representatives. Because of the differences in the House and Senate bills, it had been assumed that the measure would be sent to a conference committee to work out a compromise. According to the Washington D.C. office of Fourth District Congressman John Dellenback this was not the case: the old bill, because of the great differences, was instead killed and a new compromised bill was introduced in the House. The new bill is now being worked on in the House Committee on Veteran Affairs. Dellenback's staff said they were confident that substantial increases in benefits will be in the new bill, but the final increase is expected to be closer (continued from page four) Page 2 TORCH Sept. 12, 1972 The ASLCC has finally, after four months of planning and explaining, received approval from the LCC Board of Education for the 1972-73 student government budget. They can now get down to implementing their proposed programs which we feel will benefit all students. The se·nate's Executive Cabinet should ,be congratulated for the tremendous amount of time and work devo~ this budget-that is, all should be congratulated except one. And this one, because he put personal gain before the duties he was elected to perform, could have spelled defeat for the budget. David Red Fox, ASLCC treasurer, failed to attend any of the Board meetings at which the budget was discussed and failed to attend budget planning sessions that were, according to the Executive Cabinet, scheduled at his convenience. Already, because of his failure to attend the planning sessions, the programs outlined in the budget have probably been delayed. Had Red Fox been available to help work out some problems in the budget it's possible the Board would have approved the budget in early August instead of shortly before classes were scheduled to begin. Earlier this summer the Cabinet had to instruct the ASLCC First Vice President to send a '' strongly worded'' letter to Red Fox concerning his absences at cabinet meetings. Red Fox, who is running for the House seat of. the 39th Legislative District reportedly told a member of the Cabinet he is unable to attend the meetings because he doesn't have a manager for his campaign. He told the TORCH that as soon as he does find a manager he will be able to devote more time to his duties as treasurer. But, he also told the TORCH that he didn't feel it was his responsibility to see that the budget got passed. ''It's the President's responsibility to see that his budget is passed; they just gave me the information and I drew it up," he explained. That's the point-who knows best how the budget is constructed? Certainly ASLCC President Jay Bolton knows why senate proposed programs should be implemented but it's the treasurer's duties to explain why the program needs the amount of money being requested because he is supposed to be the expert on finances. Red Fox also told the TORCH that should he win the election in November he will be forced to resign from the Student Senate. We suggest that he submit his resignation now. The students and the Senate need time to find someone who will devote the required time to the job , and who can give the students something for the $350 tuition they pay the treasurer. If Red Fox refuses to resign until he sees the outcome of his campaign then the Senate owes it to the students to ask for his resignation. But true! Everything LDst Odd thing, was ~ine.

These are innovations worthy of national attention. We hope you take advantage of one or more of these programs. Lane Community College is your college. It possesses many innovations that are designed to help you become successful. It has an atmosphere of openness which you will find appealing. It is through this team effort that LCC is rated one of the top community colleges in the nation. Most of these efforts to improve . LCC programs and services came in spite of the economic difficulties and tensions faced by higher education today. Though our funding is tight, we have, as Dr. Martin suggests, one of the better community col- Dr. Schafer leges in the country. We welcome your suggestions and assistance in making it even better.

The Center is located on the fourth floor of the Center Building on the North side. It is open every Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. A.ny student may use the many facilities including books, tapes, and machines, and special assistance in typing, general business, and accelerated reading. For foreign students, English and tutorial help are offered. The Center provides programs where individualized, independent, and group programs help students learn faster. A reading room located in the rear of the learning center provide an opportunity to improve reading skills, and a lounge with a large selection of reading materials available. Year end quota set Ceiling listed for draft call The Selective Service System announced Friday, September 1, that the draft lottery number ceiling for the last three months of the year will be RSN 95. Men with lottery numbers through RSN 75 are being inducted in August and September. The yearend ceiling of RSN 95 assures almost three-fourths of the men who faced induction during 1972 that they will not be called this year. Approximately 15,900 men will be inducted during the OctoberDecember period, with the majority of inductions taking place in October and November. All available men with RSNs of 95 and below will be selected for alternate service in civilian jobs at the same time. All eligible men with RSNs of 95 and below who become available for induction or alternate service after midNovember, when the last induction orders for 1972 are to be mailed, will be liable for induction or alternate service during the first three months of 1973 should there be calls during that period. The inductions for the last three months of 1972 will bring the total of men inducted into the Army in 1972 to approximately 50,000, the number which Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird indicated would be required during 1972. More than 94,000 men were inducted during 1971; 163,500 in 1970. 'Is that all sir?' Teresa Fulmer, is one of the many clerks in the Student Book Store who will be helping students like Dale Smith spend their hard earned summer money over the next couple of weeks. The Bookstore, located on the second floor of the Center Building, offers a large selection of new and used textbooks, plus several additional services.

Used texts are sold for 25 per cent of the original price. To return a book, one must present the book receipt no later than three weeks after the beginning of the term in order to receive a full refund. Among the many additional services offered to the campus are book orders and popular paperback sales; stamps; and supplies for art, dental technology, athletics, drafting, and writing, including - tools, uniforms, and sports supplies.

The department is headed by Darwin McCarroll, with five faculty instructors. Auto Tech Offers Futures For Students The Auto Technology Department, offers a two year Associate of Science degree and a certificate of completion. Taught by a staff of eight instructors, auto technology training prepares students for entry level employme_nt in the automotive service and repair field. Beginning salary for a graduate varies between $1.50 to $2.00 :rn hou.r; journeymen earn up to $10,000 per year. Extra costs for students entering this program include tools ($175), coveralls ($12), books ($45), and welding fees ($30). One advantage this course offers, according to instructor Herb _Pruett, is that students may enter every six weeks, allowing members of the community who are already employed in this field an opportunity to increase their knowledge of new developments in the auto repair field. Training in this department also includes occasional visits to automotive plants such as Toyota, and General Motors. Flight Tech Provides Varied Training The F 1i g ht Technology program leads to a two year Associate of Science degree. This program prepares students for employment as business pilots, airline pilots, flight and ground instructors, air traffic controllers, and in other related fields. Fee costs for students entering this field are $500 per term in addition to tuition. Students will fly a total of 200 hours in var- ious aircraft and graduate with a commercial license and instument rating. Since the program began 31 persons have graduated. Applicants for this training must be counseled prior to acceptance and only those who can reasonably be expected to succeed will be accepted. Students must have a FAA Class II Medical Certificate.

Tuition based on need LCC has never had a health services clinic that is capable of providing for all the medical needs of the LCC student body. John Loeber, now the ASLCC health coordinator, began planning a health clinic last year and his plans are now to become a reality. The LCC Board of Education Wednesday, Sept. 6, approved the funding of $18,400 for the student health clinic. The money is part of the ASLCC budget for the 1972-73 school year. The health clinic, besides offering services for more than 71 000 people a year, blood tests, urinalysis, gynecological tests, tests for sickle cell anemia and counseling services for those who need them, will also provide a dental health program (that will be run on a basis of immediate need) and a prescription drug program. This program will allow students who need prescribed medical treatment to obtain their medicine from either the school's doctor or dentist. No definite guidelines have been drawn up concerning type of prescriptions, amounts of prescriptions, cost, or methods of repayment as of yet. Dental services is alotted $2,800 of the $18,400; the prescription service is funded for $600 , and the health service receives the remaining $15,000. According to the 1972-73 health services doctor 1 L. M. Elkind, the present usage of the health services is over 6,000 cases a year plus an additional 5,000 TB tests given and read. Elkind continued to state that, students needs were not adequatly met last year, and the operation did not lend itself to the best practice of medicine. ASLCC Second Vice President Kenny Walker and First Vice President Chuck Packnett were elected to high posts in the National Student Association at the close of the Association's annual congress in Washington, D.c., August 12 through 18, Walker was elected as one of the four West Coast (Oregon, Washington, and California) representatives to the National Supervisory Board (NSB), and Packnett was elected as one of four West Coast representatives to the Congress Steering Committee (CSC). Packnett and ASLCC President Jay Bolton were elected as alternates to the NSB. The three, and TORCH Editor Jim Gregory, represented LCC at the congr, NSA, which is made up of co1£2ges all over the United States, establishes student platforms and conducts workshops. Over 600 delegates attended the eight day congress. Delegates heard such speakers as Women's Lib activist Gloria Steinem, consumer advocate Ralph Nader, and ex-Vice Presidential hopeful Thomas- E.agleton. Ms. Steinem told the delegates that women are more non-violent and cooperative than men but, . fame by his attack of Corvair and, with the help of his "Nader's Raiders'' has been responsible for getting many consumer protection laws passed, told the delegation that students are among the most aware when it comes to consumer problems, but most students have limited time to change existing practices. He suggested the way students could work toward better consumer N oder - protection laws is throug-h Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG) and credited Oregon and Minnesota with setting up the first PIRG's in the country. (See story about LCC's OSPIRG, page 9.) After his speech, a delegate asked Nader, who is presently doing research on the US Congress, what he thought of columnist Jack Anderson's attack on Senator Thomas Eagleton. A- l l I. . t I ' l ti F l nderson, in a radio broadcast, said Eagleton had been charged several times for drunken driving. Anderson later retracted his statement saying he had no proof of the charge. Nader told the delegates that Anderson was condemned by the establishment for making one mistake. He added, "After one thousand stories he makes one mistake. GM (General Motors) has had something like 12 million recalls--12 million mistakes. And GM is the Guardian of Maintenance?" Delegates to the convention also attended workshops during the day on such topics as Student Rights and Power; Racism in the White Community; The Students' Role in Educational Change; and The Higher Education Bill and its proposals for community and junior college students, to name a few. During the evening delegates attended administrative and legislative plenaries. other discussion continued, and mandates were passed by the delegates, including a mandate calling for the boycott of non-union lettuce, a mandate supporting the multiple sclerosis program, an NSA amendment requiring NSA to give equal representation to members of the Third World and women, plus several other items. The three members of the LCC student government who attended the congress said that when school begins they will make a full report to the Senate and interested students on the NSA. t Ms. Steinem she said, women have been forced by the dominant culture to compete for the attention of males and have been expected to obtain their identity from males as well. Speaking of sexuality, Ms. Steinem said, ''Men are so accustomed to submission (from women) they don't know what cooperation is."

That's what the newest addition to the Placement Office told her. The "new addition" is a computer hookup, called OIAS (Occupational Information Access System), that will help students find careers that they are suited for. OIAS consists of a teletypewriter which is hooked-up to the OTIS (Oregon Total Information Service) computer. The OTIS computer lists over 200 occupational careers along with the qualifications for each career~ So , a student wishing career information merely fills out an exploratory questionnaire which takes into consideration geographical, economic, and occupational interests, and physical limitations a student may have, and then feeds his answers into the computer. It sounds pretty complicated, but it's really quite simple. The student simply sits down at the teletypewriter located outside the Library in the Center Building, and types the word "Hello". The computer responds with "Hello" and asks the student's name. When given a name the computer replies "Hello Jim" (Jack, Mary, or whatever), and then asks whether you want general information on a particular subject or if you would rather start the questionnaire. If the student chooses the questionnaire, the computer goes down the list of 25 questions asking the student to answer each on the teletypewriter. Once in the computer the student's answers are analyzed and matched against the careers the computer has listed. Within seconds the teletype is banging away and the student soon has in his hands a list of careers he or she may be adept at. With list in hand, the student can ask the computer for a brief description of any career he or she is interested in. If still interested, he can ask for a list of people who have volunteered to talk with others about their job. Along with the computer hookup, Career Information Service also has available published bibliographies of occupational descriptions, and cassette recorded interviews with persons in various occupations. According to Dick Katz of the Career Information System, the OIAS hookup is not thought of as an alternative to career counseling but rather as a tool to complement the counseling services. Katz said that the computer setup is simple; a student can ask the questions he wants and get straight answers without having to cast an authority or father figure on the machine like he may do with a counselor. As a tool, the computer should make career counseling easier for the student and counselor since the student will already have a career in mind when he walks into the counselor's office. The counselor and student will be able to get right down to planning his or her educational needs. Hopefully, said Katz, the computer will end the popular, "I don't know what I want to do," phrase. The OIAS system was developed by Bruce McKinlay at the University of Oregon through a grant from the US Department of Labor. The pilot program was introduced to high schools and briefly at LCC last year with the results being so successful that the system is now hooked into LCC, the U of o, and most high schools and junior high schools in the area. According to Katz, the system will eventually cover the entire state. Job placement offers good results "We're probably the only office that doesn't mind being bugged by students.'' This quote, from the secretary of the Job Placement Office, Corinne Meehan, is typical of the attitude that helped place 450 students with jobs in the first • six months of this year. The Job Placement Office, located on the second floor of the Center Building is operated by W. "Buck" Bailey and his secretary Ms. Meehan. The office's success stands out quite clearly-last year, according to Ms. Meehan, of 583 people who applied, 492 were placed in jobs. With improvements in the economy the expectations for this year are even better Ms. Meehan said. The Placement Office offers a complete job referral service for all students and their spouses, LCC graduates, and high schoolers. According to Ms. Meehan , all that is required of a student desiring work is to stop by the Placement desk and fill out a card listing work ex- DAIRY~ ANN Breakfast, lunches, dinners.

According to Ms. Meehan the biggest problem is getting "student feedback." She says that quite often a student will fill out a card and never check back with the office. Often students move or change phone numbers without informing the office. Another problem is students failing to not if y the Placement Office whether or not their job interview resulted in their getting the • job.

The Child Development Center is open only to the children of LCC students between the age limits of 3 and 6. Ms. Heilpern says that applications for the Center are available at the Home Economics Dept. office and "welcomes donations of good, used children's books or other play equipment in good condition." LCC students who worry about their children's care during school hours need worry no more. LCC has a Day Care Center which will take care of their children during a student's class time including evenings. Night care costs 60 cents per/ hour and day care costs are based on a person's ability to pay, (though many are subsidized under welfare). Ms. Jill Heilpern, director of Child Development in the Home Economics Department, prefers to call it a Child Development Center and stresses that "we are much more than a babysitting service, we are educating our children.'' The Center is staffed by students who are working in Childhood Development.

The project is also concerned with improving communications between the public and the mathematics education comm u nity. The Oregon Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry are cooperating in the project. The effort is part of a new cooperative approach involving state, local, private, and federal agencies. The Oregon System is being partially supported by one m il 1i o n d o 11 a r s of National Science Foundation funds during the first year of a five year program.

Jon Hater i us is the TORCH's OSPIRG correspondent. Salmonella p~isoning. _ Autorepair rip-off. Deceptive advertising. These are targets for OSPIRG. The Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG), in its first year as a student environmental and c on s u m e r "watchdog'' bit into controversial business and industrial practices. It will continue to bite this year. Last year OSPIRG investigated meat inspection practices in Oregon and found lack of sanitary protection, poor inspection, and lack of warnings of salmonella contamination. a;PIRG cited lack of cooperation between the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) and the Oregon State Health Division regarding salmonella contamination. The study also reported violations in meat processing were rarely followed up by ODA and the Oregon State Health Division. And when OSPIRG investigated auto repair dealers in its study of front end shops in Multnomah County, it found dealers weren't the only ones who were squirming. The OSPIRG study concluded that the consumer apparently has only a "50-50 chance of receiving fair treatment from auto repair shops - at least in the front end shops visited.'' A full 62 per cent of the shops visited quoted prices for apparently unneeded and unnecessary repairs and replacements. The auto studies resulted in several auto dealers signing voluntary compliance agreements with the Multnomah County District Attorney. By signing the agreement, dealers acknowledged a tacit assumption that they had been engaging in illegal practices. Then U>PIRG looked at "bait and switch" tactics in the Portland area - ''bait and switch" is a practice of luring a customer to a place. of business through an enticing advertisement and then switching him from the advertised product to another product. Of 49 car lot checks, 24 were found to be dealing in questionable business practices of bait and switch advertising. Clearcutting, air and water pollution, refuse dumping in the Willamette River, forest management, possible pollution of Men ash a Corporation mill in Coos Bay, water studies by U of 0 C6PIRG . . . the list goes on. CSPIRG took big bites. In many cases C6 PIRG reports have been handed directly to the Oregon State Legislature to furnish needed information on consumer fraud and industrial polution. The research takes money, of course, and CSPIRG is powerful because its flow of revenue comes from Oregon students. Last year OSPIRG made good use of the student donated 120 thousand dollars. This summer OSPIRG awarded 18 "intern scholarships" to students in Oregon who demonstrated keen interest and obvious investigatory abilities.Each intern worked for $750 for 12 weeks pursuing studies in forest practices, po 11 u ti on, land use planning, and business prac- In the coming months OSPIRG will provide testimony to the Federal Trade Commission, offering the results of the "bait and switch" study in October meets with the Attorney General. And the group plans a study of the Portland General Electric Company (PGE) on rate structure and rate increases. other studies in coming months are land use legislation, auto emission reduction plans, and further auto repair and advertising practices in Oregon. LCC-OSPIRG is planning similar study of "bait and switch" practices in Eugene-Springfield, and will survey local front end alignment businesses, and is considering study of "odometer turnback'' practices in the car sales industry. An OSPIRG spokesman will man a table during registration to answer questions and recruit interested LCC students into t!'le local chapter. The Chicano and Native Amer-. ican Affairs Center is sponsoring a '' Chicano Dinner'' of au thentic Mexican food in the Lane Community College dining area Thursday, Oct. 5, at 6:30. Tickets are $2.25 for adults, $1.25 for children, and children under five, free. Switchboard, a community service organization which assists people in finding houses, employment, and transportation is going through reorganization proceedures in order that they may provide a more efficient service to the community than they have in the past. Changes include new members as coordinators, staff, and redecoration of the office. Another change that has taken place is their new telephone number, which is now 686-8453. The new number will enable people to contact them twenty-four hours a day. Switchboard also deals with buying, selling, trading and continued on page 10 The Menu will be as follows: Menudo (Mexican soup); Arroz con Pollo (chicken & rice); Burrito de Frijoles (beans & tortillas); plus drinks.

Sept. 12, 1972 TORCH A·v,areoess Center Employs students helping students Lane C om m u n it y College's Student Awareness Center (SAC) is one of the most innovative developments in the student activities area. The Center employs several work-study students as coordinators who are dedicated to helping other students find routes to so 1vi n g problems. SAC can offer help in the following areas · , HOUSING - The coordinator of this section keeps information about available housing in the area, inc 1u ding individual listings and helpful agencies. CHILD CARE-The coordinator maintains up-to-date information about child care services and facilities available at LCC and in the community, and will operate a baby-sitting referral service. TRANSPORTATION - This section maintains a schedule of those who can offer rides to the LCC campus and those who need rides. LEGAL SERVICE-The coordinator will have a list of available low-cost legal service individuals and firms in the community and is familiar with the services available through the Legal Aid Society. DRAF'T-This section maintains current information on all Selective Service activities directly affecting students, such as deferment ·requirements, copies of lottery numbers, etc. The Awareness Center has a new location this year. It is still on the second floor of the Center Building but is now at the west end, just outside the doors, in room 234. SAC's hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays. Instructors Graduate Four LCC auto mechanics instructors were among the 22 Oregon and Washington community college educators who recently graduated from a Toyota p r o du c t familiarization school held in Portland. The course which the four, Paul Wellborn, Henry Naessens, Herb Pruett and ~ob Maxwell participated in, was the first such course sponsored by an auto· importer in the Pacific Northwest. Each received a set of Toyota shop and training manuals. Last year, Toyota donated new cars to LCC and 8 others. Have you put Bag-101 on your curriculum? ~>:~;;,L· : : .- ..

According to Jack Powell, head of the Financial Aids Office at LCC, "If a person really tries, I don't -think there is any way he or she can't go to school." Many of the programs are based on "demonstrated need" and for those who qualify there are 15 to 20 financial aid programs available at LCC. If a person doesn't fit one program, he or she may qualify for another. The FEDERAL programs include the following: ADC ( Aid to Dependent ChilADC scholarships are dren). provided in part by welfare mothers who have formed their own "club." This group sponsors money -raising activities wb.ich provicle one fourth of th~ money for the scholarships and the federal government provides the remaining funds.
