A 49 state electorial landslide carried President Richard Nixon into his second term as chief executive as his Democratic opponent, Senator George McGovern pick up only the District of Columbia and the state of Massachusetts for a total of 17 electorfal votes. In his landslide victory Nixon garnished approximately 62 per cent of the national popular vote. The State elections saw Senator Mark Hatfield and Fourth District Congressman Dellenback retain their seats by substansial margins. Two ballot measures important to LCC students also were in the light as the returns came in. Measure 9, the Farm Bureaus me as u re eliminating property tax for support of schools, down to a resounding 2 to 1 defeat while measure 21, the LCC measure increasing the LCC operational base, passed easily by over- 300 votes, easily •topping most current LCC voting records. (See story this page.) Shortly before 8 p.m. (PST), Nixon told a national television audience that both major parties are united in a desire for peace. "We are moving swiftly toward that great goal. . .we are on the eve of what could be the greatest generation of peace that man has known", the incumbent winner said. A few moments earlier, McGovern conceded defeat at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He said that if his campaign has brought the nation closer to peace, the ef·fort was worth any sacrifices. An unofficial count showed Nixon leading McGovern by over 13 million votes. The President swept the entire West, South and the populous Northern states with Maryland pushing him over the Ballot Measures Tallied + ' The final election poll The above picture was taken at Westmoreland Community Center in Eugene where election officials, as in all the county precincts , were kept busy as 80 per cent of the counties voters turned out. The turn out put Lane about five per cent ahead of the average Nation voter turn out. (Photo by Ole Hoskinson) Lane County sees three new faces by Paul Waldschmidt Three new faces will be seen in the three county wide offices that were contested in Lane County yesterday. By 12:30 this morning 100 per cent of the ballot had been tabulated. In the heavily contested district attorney's race, challenger J. Pat Horton defeated incumbent Robert Naslund 47,330 to 44,003. Horton, 30, a former assistant district attorney, told the TORCH that, '' the issue on drugs was the swing point in the campaign.'' "The election boiled down..• to the priorities each of us gave to the direction law enforcement will take. Mine was contemporary,'' he concluded. Frank Elliott (D) was returned to the office of county commissioner after a two year absence over his two opponents, Andy Maxon (R) and William Wooten (Independent). Elliott, with 35,204 votes to Maxon's 30,974 and Wooten's 29,412, lead the returns all evening, pushing ahead his final margin of 4,230 with late returns from the coast. Contacted ·by the TORCH, Elliott said that "he was surprised at Wooten's showing." And felt that Wooten cut into his total, "because we're both really Dem- ocrats." David Burks (D) captured the office of Lane County Sheriff with 56,547 votes in another three-way race. Barney Issel (R) pulled 23,804 and Independent David Larry ran up a total of 16,607. Burks, a lieutenant of detectives from the sheriff's office, stayed well ahead of his opponents all through the evening's returns. The break down of Multomah county's ballot counting compute rs yesterday evening left the outcome of the state-wide contests in doubt. With incomplete returns from the Portland area, only 64 per cent of the statewide vote had been counted as of 2 a.m. today. ... Incumbent Clay Myers (R) led Beulah Hand (D) 203,000 to 119,799 in the race for Secretary of State as of 2 a.m. In the race for state treasurer Democrat James Redden was ahead of Republican Craig Berkman with a sizable lead ofl43,000 to 99,767. . Lee Johnson (R), the incumbent attorney general was successfully fending off a challenge by Joe Smith (D) with partial returns giving Johnson 236,246 to Smi~h's 198,769. by Douglas Cudahey Two measures passed by county and state voters yesterdayMeasure 9 and Mesure Zl--compliment the existence of LCC. Meaure 9 passed by a 2-1 margin continuing the support of · property taxes to education. The masure, put on the ballot by the Oregon Farm Bureau, if passed, would have cut all funding from property taxes to education in the state. Schools in Oregon would have had to wait until the state legislature reconvened to establish a new sourse of funding. County Measure 21 also passed, giving LCC an increase in its operating base of funding from the tax payers. The measure asked property tax payers to fund LCC at the current level of enrollment in the hopes it would not be necessary to conduct the annual request for additional money. other state and county measures results: (With 60 per cent of the state and 83 per cent of the county ballots tallied.) State Measure 1--allowing public institutions to be built outside of Marion County-was passed by the voters with a three to one margin in favor of the measure. Qualifications for county sheriff as set by the legislature-Measure 2--was passed with a vote tally of 298,619 in favor and 151,515 against the amendment. State Measure 3, an amendment to the constitutional limit on indebtedness of counties, was reacted by a vote of 239,767 saying no, 176,403 saying yes. Whether or not religious or theological institutions will receive tax money with which fo operate.Measure 4, was answered with a stiff no. The proposal was defeated two to one. The size of a jury, Meas u re 5 in Oregon will be cut a minimum of six passing by a margin of three to one. Measure 6, which liberalizes the loan eligibility requirements of Oregon citizens who are veterans having served between the years of 1940-47 and 1950-60 passed by 361,681 in favor to 64,309 against. Governors' will not receive any funds from the Governors' Retirement Fund as Measure 7 --which repeals the Governors' Retirement Act, 1971- was favored by the voters with 281,211 yes, and 144,074 voting against. Measure &-the succession to office of Governor was changed by the voters, allowing the Secretary of State and State Treasurer to succeed the governor. The two county measures ended up with number 21, LCC tax base, passing and Measure 10 failing. Measure 10--a charter amendment that called for an increase in the number of County Commissioners from three to five was defeated by the voters in Lane County by a margin of two-one. 270 electoral votes needed for a second White House term at 6:25 p.m. (PST) ... Though Nixon's victory was in record breaking fashion, his "coat tails failed to sweep the Republicans into control of the Congress as had been hoped by many of the President's party. In spite of Nixon's victory, the Democrats continued to show National strength as they captu red a majority of the Senatorial and Governorships up for grabs, and maintained Congressional control. In the US Senate race between two Oregon Liberals incumbent Senator Mark 0, Hat fie 1d triumphed over his opponant, former Senator Wayne Morse. The race seems to have been decided by the former senator's age and the Senate senority system. With approximately 60 per cent of the state's votes tabulated by press time, Hatfield was leading Morse with a comfortable lead. Lane County Hatfield Campaign Chairman, George Al vergue commented last night that Morse was probably "the toughest" competition Hatfield could have had. He said both candidates conducted "a clean campaign.'' Hatfield, age 50, resides in Newport, with his wife, Antoinette, and their four children (two sons and two daughters). Hatfield by profession is a educator ruid has been an instructor and Dean of Students at Willamette University. His public services has been as a State representative, 1951-55, State Senator, 1955-57, Oregon Secretary of State, 1957-59, Governor, 195967, and US Senator from 1967 to present. The Fourth District Congressional contest saw the incumbant jumping off to a lead early in the evening and increasing his lead as the night wore on. At 11:15 p.m. (PST) Congressman John Dellenback, the apparent winner, was 28,000 votes ahead of his cha 11 anger Democrat Charles o. Porter. In the later stages of the night Dellenback told the TORCH that he thought his campaign was a good one--" Any campaign you suceed in winning is a good campaign," he said. Dellenback, 54, is an attorney, and when not in congressional session, resides in Medford with his wife, Mary Jane, and his daughter and two sons. His public service record has been as a 5tate representative from 196167 1 and the Fourth District Congressma;, from 1967-present. Page 2 TORCH November 8. 1972 Editorial Comment Tomorrow (Thursday) the ASLCC Senate will be requested to finance $350 for an LCC rally squad. We suggest the Senate refrain from voting on this proposal until they have conducted a thorough investigation of possible funding methods. other one-half. no. their budgets. "We presented the Senate with an honest budget/' he said, "so we have no extra money left over." We can understand monetary problems -- but that includes monetary problems of students as well as the Athletic Department. So, before the Senate allots the $350 to the rally squad, we suggest they form a task committee to meet with the Athletic Department to see if there isn't some other funding available besides the student's pocket. This school year the ASLCC budget alloted $25,000 to the Athletic Department -- $7,400 more than it alloted last year. This accounts for $1.18 of the $5 each full-time student pays in student body fees each term. When Marty Stalick first began the formation of the rally squad he asked the Athletic Department for full funding. They said no, so he asked if they would fund one-half of the squad if the Student Senate were to fund the The TORCH extends it sincerest congratulations to Coach Al Tarpenning and his cross country team. The team not only took a perfect score in competition at the state level but Saturday took a perfect score at the regional level. The team now travels to Pensacola, Florida where they will meet America's best junior college cross country runners. We have an idea LCC will come out on top there too. Actually, to get to Florida Tarpenning and the A TORCH reporter's attempt to contact the Portland office of the Veter.ans Administration Athletic Department not only had to contend without running the best runners in the region but had to get past a Board policy that prohibited national competition for LCC. But that policy has now been changed, Tarpenning's team has shown they are the best and its off to sunny Florida. We wish the team rain in Florida--that should certainly give LCC an advantage! ' :.Yes, I'm calling from Eugene and I would like to ... " "Well we have a toll free number you can call through from there." "Okay, but could I ask you a couple of questions?'' • '1 think you better hangup and call us on the toll line." "Yes but can I ask you some. . . " "Well I'm only trying to save you some money -- the VA is aware of your needs. I'm going to hang-up now so you can use our toll line.''

Unwilling to attempt another call to the Portland office, the reporter obtained as much information as he could from the local office and settled for that. After spending a considerable amount of time trying to get the- LCC phone -lines, ·the reporter was finally successful in :setting through to the Portland office.

Again, the Department said According to Robert Radcliff, LCC athletic director, the Department has no money it can allot to such a program He said he agrees that a rally squad would benefit LCC, but the squad was not planned for in the budget, so no money is available. He explained that "every penny" the Athletic Department has is already budgeted for some program. In fact, he explained, some programs are going over We are not in opposition to the idea of a rally squad -- we agree with its creator that it would probably help promote LCC athletic events -- but we are in opposition to students paying for the squad while other funding is available.

WASHINGTON-Tons of confetti hit the fan when President Nixon paraded majestically through downtown Atlanta last month. The litter poured out of office windows as the President passed by. The President was delighted, but at least one Southerner, 19-year-old bank clerk Marian Landis , was appalled. Once the downpour had begun, Mrs. Landis tried to put a stop to a confetti operation in a building near where she works. She trooped up to the tenth floor of the William Oliver Building where she expected to find employees throwing paper snow. Instead, she found an office suite filled with a half-dozen or more men in shirt sleeves hauling bags of confetti in front of a huge fan_ The man who greeted her at the door . was armed with a pistol in a shoulder holster. "I was surprised,"• Mrs. Landis told us, but she was still angry enough to deliver a stinging anti-litter speech. "When I asked him to quit, he refused,'' she said. "When I asked him who he was, he said • he was a Secret Service agent. I could tell they weren't volunteers." The Secret Service denies that any of its agents were in the room, but it admits that it frequently uses local law officials to monitor confetti operations along parade routes for security reasons. But the only apparent security involved here was making sure the President was well received. -Trasic DelaysDisabled citizens who have been turned down for Sociai Security benefits are encountering huge delays in appealing their cases before government hearing examiners. A serious shortage of hearing examiners, we have learned, has caused delays of six months to a year for thousands of citizens across the country. Right now, there are 33,000 disabled citizens awaiting hearings and only 336 judges authorized to listen to them. That ~dds up to a backlog of about 100 cases for every hearing examiner. And every day, the backlog gets worse. In Cleveland alone. hearing examiners are falling behind at a rate of 35 cases a month. In human terms, the delays can be tragic. Paula Hanley of Akron , Ohio, for example, has suffered from multiple sclerosis since 1970. She has been bedridden for at least 12 months of the last two years. A mother of two, she and her husband can't pay the mounting medical bills. She has waited six months for a hearing date and still none has been set. In another documented case, a 35-year-old father of three became so upset over his poor health and tai1ure to get a response from Social Security that last month he simply dropped out of sight. The man had been out of work since last January when he was forced to . quit his job because he had emphysema - a chronic lung condition. His family is now almost penniless . The Bureau of Hearings and Appeals has requested money for twice as many examiners to handle the backlog of case·s . But we have learned the request has been denied. - A Yippie RevoltYoung radicals, dejected by their failure to whip up antiestablishment sentiment this election year, apparently have turned against three elders of the Yippie movement - Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin and Ed Sanders. Four years ago, the three Yippies led the youth demonstrations in Chicago -against the system. But this year they are urging followers to work within the system and vote against Richard Nixon. Their views are spelled out in a new book, "Vote," which they co-authored after covering the political conventions in Miami Beach last summer. Since their return from Miami Beach las_t August. all three have been victims of harrassment by former followers. Here are some examples which we have carefully verified: 9\Jerry Rubin's car has been vandalized - or "trashed," as the radicals put it - on two different occassions. The last time, damage was so extensive he junked it. Three days later, someone threw a rock through Rubin's front window in the middle of the night. •Ed Sanders has had similar car trouble. His car windows were smashed. the tires were slashed and a foreign subsfance was poured in the gas tank. Sanders, furthermore , has . been threatened with physical harm . •Abbie Hottman went on tour to promote the book and everywhere he wen t letters mysteriously preceded him . The letters, written on Yippie stationery, denounced the three co-authors as over-thehill hippies who are trying to exploit the "movement. " Their publisher, furthermore, has been inundated with hate mail. One envelope contained human waste. The zany trio refuses to discuss who is after them. But the word is out that the ''crazies'' - as the young anarchists are called - now regard Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin and Ed Sanders, of all people, as establishment capitalists. (November 8, 1972 TORCH Page 3) Physician, dentist, nurses complete new health team Student nurses added to staff- Operating on an expanded budget of $15,000 as a result of the student vote last year, LCC's Student Health Services is now in a period of transition. They are not yet fully operative but are enjoying an expansion of services offered last year. The health clinic was established for emergency situations first aid, referrals, the prevention and control of communicabl~ diseases and counseling. It is free for the student's use and is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with doctor's service from 8-12. The dental clinic, set up to faciliate the education of the Paradental students is available to LCC students at no charge on Wednesdays from 9 a.m to noon. Appointments can be made through the Dental office. For further information, contact Health Services Coordinator ~ohn Loeber in his office on the second floor of the Center Building, m the new student senate offices. ga,n expenence by Jim Worlein If you ever find yourself under the weather and decide some immediate medical attention is necessary, there is a good chance t,hat you'll receive that attention (at least in part) from a fellow LCC student. Cooperative Work Experience (CWE) enables student nurses, who so choose, to gain clinical experience in the Student Health Services program. Don't feel that if you go there you'll find yourself a guinea pig. The nurses are there to put to John Redfield M.D. Dianne Taylor This year LCC has a new Student Health Services nurse, Ms. Dianne Taylor. She has · • replaced the retirir,g Ellene Goldsmith who has been the health services nurse for the pas~ several years. Ms. Taylor has no immediate plans for any major changes in the present student health plan, but she commented she would like to continue with the work Ms. Goldsmith has begun. Ms. Taylor's duties include counseling, initiating student referrals, being available for emergencies, and seeing that the new health programs are carried-out. She will also be working to instruct student nurses, and she will assist the LCC physician~ Dr. Thomas Redfield. A graduate from the University of Oregon's School of Nursing, Ms. Taylor has also worked at Sacred Heart General Hospital in Eugene. She previously held a position at a local Portland hospital in Public Health before accepting her position at LCC. "Helping people feel well enough to go to school'' is the goal of LCC's expanded health services, according to Dr. John T. Redfield, the latest addition to the health program at Lane. Until a week ago a doctor was on campus only on Wednesdays, but since Dr. Redfield's arrival, LCC's free medical services have been extended to Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon. Since the extended program is new and facilities are yet limited, the medical services are now dealing basically with first aid and screening illnesses. But they can arrange help for students to find a means to pay for prescriptions if the student cannot afford it at the time of his or her need. Dr. Redfield said that '' what we can do is limited. It isn't and never will be a _total health c:ire center,'' but he also commented that some ideas for future expansion include development of facilities for a VD clinf. ~, pregnancy testing, and mono detection. Originally from the East Coast, and a University of Wisconsin graduate, Redfield has lived in · Eugene for the past six years. During that time he worked as physician for employees of Weyerhauser company in Springfield, and helped to lay the groundwork for Whitebird Clinic in Eugene. When not at LCC, Redfield works at his own private practice of "industrial medicine" where he acts as consultant to small industries in need of health services. "I constder myself a worker for the workers,'' he commented. _, d . Laura Oswald Ms. Laura Oswald is spending her third year at LCC as a fulltime nurse. With a master's degree in health education, several year's experience at Sacred Heart Hospital, and as a grade school nurse for District 4-J, , Ms. Oswald says her professional interests have become community-oriented. ''I feel the community has to stay healthy as a whole rather than concentrating on one individual." A former Vice President of Oregon Nursing Association and still active member, she is currently involve·d with Community Howard Byrd Coordinated Child Care, a twoyear old program which assists children in day care centers in getting health care. Howard Byrd is now taking appointments for ear ·and eye examinations, a new service which is free to all LCC students. An appointment can be made by contacting Ms. (Eddie) Miller Ms. Oswald can be found in the Health Services office every weekday from 8 a.m. to4:30p.m. Ms. Dianne T a y 1o r , a new Health Services nurse, believes the student nurses receive ugood bedside nursing experience and practice in communication skills, interviewing skills, and in assisting a doctor in examinations."

I,.,CC's on-campus dentist, Dr. Ray Rickett, has spent his last three and one-half years here, after graduating from the University of Oregon in 1968. He works at LCC with dental assistant trainees enabling them to get actual chair-side experience. Rickett and his assistants treat patients five days a week. The patients, all members of the community, receive care through several state programs, including the Neighborhood Youth Corps, the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, and on Wednesday mornings he examines between 9 and 12 LCC students. Children's Welfare patients see the dentist on Wednesday afternoons, Thursdays, and Fridays. The d~ntal program costs $30,000, of which LCC pays •$2,800. Available to LCC students are services including extractions, front-tooth root canals,denture fitting, and decay fillings. There is no charge to the student. Dr. Rickett also pointed out that any student can have his/her teeth cleaned and have a full set of X-rays performed by the dental hygiene program on campus .

The mighty Arabic warriors were themselves conquered by the fascination of chess as played by the Persians (Persia had been conquered by the game when that empire defeated lndia.)o But the Arabs were of the Must- mic faith, and as such their religion denied them the pleasure of images even on a chessboard_ Pictur~s, statues, everything that might represent the connotations of a realistic •'idol," was forbidden to them . The fas c in at ion of chess, though, was already victorious; it was too strong to be denied, Since they could (or would) not give up the game, the Arabs changed the way the pieces looked.

As a footnote, it should maybe be added that only in the last few years has the concept of roll-up plastic chessboards come to-the-fore in our modern society. The q u e st ion of whether ffiPIRG will remain on campus as a viable organization may be decided at the student elections slated for Nov. 15, according to Jon Haterius, ffiPIRG chairman. Haterius explained that the Student Senate and the college Board of Education have indicated they were unhappy with the lack of student participation· in LCC's ffiPIRG chapter. Though no official communication has been exchanged over the matter, Haterius said, it was implied that ffiPIRG should have a minimum of three members if they wanted to continue collecting funds from the student body. Haterius said that he currently has three people interested in becoming ffiPIRG board members but that they still must be put on the student ballot and run for election to the post. On Tue s d a y of last week, a;·PIRG attorney Neil Robblee, was on the LCC campus talking Students to produce educational shows '' Production of educational television shows by students at LCC will be a common thing in the future;· said Virginia De Chaine, chairwoman of the Mass Communications Department in a recent TORCH interview. "The students have the talent/' shP said "and we as educators have to supply the leadership to utilize the facilities that are available to us.·• Ms. De Chaine said that future broadcasting efforts would use the television cable system much the same as the University of Oregon now uses cable channel 10 for their productions. "We have in the past use_d the cable for sporting events and news programs·· she said. '' We will be using it more as we get more sophisticated,' Cable television-sometimes . called community antenna is a system by which broadcasts of distant stations are received and rebroadcast to home receivers through a special cable hook-up. Local TV sets would not ordinarily pick-up these shows. Cable stations also have broadcast equipment for their own '' Program organization. 1 ' She said further that Teleprompter of Eugene, the local cable c?mpany "has been very kind in allowing us to use their facilities," smce they are not obligated by any rules or regulations to aid the school at all. "We in education haven't made as much use of existing cable television facilities as we could," she added. The chairwoman described a stay at home course as an example of future production posibilities. She said that such a course would travel by way of the television cable to the home. Students would communicate back to the classroom by telephone. This would enable "shut-ins and others who could not get to the college to enroll in courses," she said. Television cable facilities at LCC are not extensive enough to allow programs such as the stay at home course, said Ms. De Chaine, 11 but the facilities may be expanded when the cable television franchise" (in Eugene)" is up for renegotiation in 1977, then there is a possibility we could get more usage for public and educational transmissiono'' with students and setting-up and explaining projects ffiPIRG has completed and intends to work on :in the coming months. Some of the on-going projects deal with illeg:ll used car sales practices of setting back odomet_e r readings, investigating stores for sale of toys listed as dangerous to children by the Federal government, and reviewing the forest practices in the Willamette National Forest. Hate rius said that a, PIRG has had good cooperatioJ with all state agencies and that the current auto study is being conducted with the help of the state Motor Vehicles Department. All the gathered information, Haterius explained, will be sent to Senator Packwood for his use in pushing through federal legislation forcing auto producers to inst a 11 anti-set-back mechanisms in all new cars. Students and faculty members at LCC will again have a chance to donate blood to the local Blood~ mobile. "Each year for the past four years," according to Science instructor Steve John, ''the Bloodmobile comes to the school to get 22 pints. of blood. This blood goes into Lane's account in the Blood Bank and is used by students and faculty members." John commented that, ''Each term the bloodmobile has. . . trouble getting enough b 1o o ct. Eighty per cent of the blood donated in the past was donated by the faculty staff. Eighty per cent of the blood is used by students/' He went on to comment that, '' Those who donate blood will be doing a service to the community." However, he further stated that, "In order to donate blood one has to make an appointment to determine the type of the person's blood. Those who donate should plan to spend 45 minutes of their time for the entire process which includes checking and s c re en in g the blood." Appointment can be set up by calling LCC extension 381 or seeing the Science Department Secretary Ms. Sharon Shorey. Lane blood donors needed The mobile will be available outside the food services snack bar between I p.m. and 4 p.m. "Those planning to give blood on Monday, Nov. 13, should have a big lunch," the instructor commented.

See this play - - it has a compassion that is all to its own." New York Times, Clive Barnes. "A good play, strong, sad, funny. Paul Zindel writes with force and economy.'' Edwin Newman, NBC-TV. '' The title 'The Effect of Gamma Rays on Manin-the-Moon Marigolds' is a false clue to a touching and often funny play that. .. is not nonsensical or verbose or pretentious or wayout flashy. Actually it is a rather old-fashioned domestic drama (old-fashioned is no insult from me) in that it is about people - - and interesting ones at that -- whose behavior, while outlandish at times, is made as comprehensible as anybody's behavior ever can be made. ' The New Yorker, Edith- Oliver Page 8 TORCH November 8, 1972 Tutor aids the bewildered by David Butler A year ago, Jim Crouch couldn't write his way out of a simple sentence with a dependent clause. Today he tutors bewildered casualties of Writing courses lll and 112, and has changed his academic major from business to English. Not all of the successes in LCC's student tutor program are as spectacular as Jim Crouch's; most students who are losing battles with LCC 's required writing courses win the war only after many grueling sessions with a tutor like Crouch, a fellow student who knows that college-level writing is not the fire-breathing dragon it's cracked up to be. Many departments at the college also have tutors, but the Language Arts staff is one of the few with what amounts to a full-time operation. Seven students, led by writing instructor Art Tegger, staff an office which is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every school day. Between them the seven tutors see dozens of students each week, some with minor problems of punctuation or word choice, and others who seem to have more massive problems. "We operate under the premise that everyone, and I mean everyone, can write a college-level essay. Most of the people we see, especially the very poor writers, don't believe that," said Crouch. ''When they get to us, after years of struggling through grammar school and high school English courses, they're already looking over their shoulder, wondering who's going to come up and clobber them next." New text published for students Showing them "what to do" is a tedious job, but the processes are fairly simple: "We know, for instance, what to do when a student is having trouble organizing his thoughts into a thesis sentence," said Crouch. "He'll put some mumbo-jumbo downonpaper, but it won't be anywhere near what is in his head. So we:11 sit down with him for as long and as many times as it takes to get that thought from his head to the paper/' One of the first steps Crouch and the other tutors take when meeting with a student is to build up his confidence. '' Often their thoughts are great, and they only need to learn how to clarify them, make them more understandable." Because they aren't teachers, the tutors occupy a rather curious position at LCC. According to Crouch, tutors often end up as a go-between with students and instructors, helping both groups understand each other a little more. Response to the program has been good; how good is hard to say. Students who weren't passing Writing lll before working with a tutor are doing much better now. And instructors seem to like what is being done, too. In fact, an instructor in the college's night progral)l is interested in starting a tutoring system for his students. Dealing with numbers, quantities of students is all very well, but the tutoring system at LCC is working because it is still one student sitting down with another, eyeball to eyeball, working out a problem together. by English professors at Lane A new English composition and writing textbook, called "Awk" has been written by LCC Ass o c i ate Professors Theo<:lore Romoser and Michael Rose of the Language Arts Department. It s format makes use of student writing examples to teach others how to write more effectively. Rose said that traditional composition textbooks a re written from examples of professional writers, but he feels these types of textbooks were not fulfilling student needs at LCC. Rose and Romoser decided to write a textbook using essays and writings selected from LCC student assignments in order to help composition students learn what to avoid. They can compare their own writing with less successful attempts, and by imitating writing that is more successful but not totally unlike their own. Rose stated, "Time and limmiting the text to the essentials and determining which essays and writings were best to use, " were the basic obstacles confronted when preparing the book. This is the first year of circulation for the textbook, Rose said, "Awk will probably have nation a 1 distribution 1ate r, ''but he also commented that he has no idea how it will be received in other places.

A garage ? Women don't operate garages. They often sell auto parts in garages, but they don't run the show. And for that matter, women don't. become mechanics either. Automotive repair is intricate, demanding, rough, physical work. But then, Ms. Hack has been tilting at windmills (and winning) for the past two years now. It's unlikely that a little thing like jumping feet first into a male-dominated world will faze her very much. No other woman is signed up for the full two-year mechanics course at LCC, although two other women are involved elsewhere in allied fields. One is learning to be a welder, the other an insurance investigator. Ms. Hack's auto mechanics training first got off the ground when she started tinkering on a 1949 pickup at her home near June tion City. As 194 9 pickups ususually do, the truck constantly seemed in need of repair or preventive maintenance. Trouble was, she didn't have enough money for it to be worked on by a professional, and everyone else she knew did well to know where the gas tank was. Luckily, Ms. Hack had a good eye for detail, seemed to grasp concepts fairly quickly, and was IOIEITSON'S DRUGS "Your Prescr~Joe -· Onr llaJD Cc,acen" -T115 SOtb and HD CHAMPION TERMPAPERS 636 Beacon St. (#605) Boston, Mass. 02215.

Alrea.dy, she had built her own ' house and had done major repairs to the pump that controlled her water supply. '' It was the p u mp breakdown that actually got me thinking seriously about developing an automotive skill," she explained. "I was a high school dropout, totally unprepared for anything. And I had opted for a rigidly independent life. I realized that if that was the road I was going to take, I'd have to face up to certain realities, namely, learn a trade that would get me a good job, and also, learn how to fend for myself." .Auto mechanics, she figured, would accomplish both. Though still a first year student, which means she is receiving generalized training in both auto and diesel mechanics, Ms. Hack plans to specialize in auto mechanics during the second phase next year. And after she graduates from LCC, she hopes to open that garage somewhere and staff it with women mechanics.

"Each time you run, you run against different competition," said Al Tarpenning; "one of the best things about our team is that we have interchangeable men." Tarpenning w~s referring to the order of finish of the Titan top five. Dale Hammitt won the race, but the next four places changed hands among Lane runners, with Tim Williams eventually finishing second, Garrie Franklin taking third, Bill Cram fourth, and Randy Griffith fifth, fighting severe cramps all the way. Tarpenning cited the interchangeability of Titan runners as adding a big advantage to team unity and competitive spirit:" It's not al ways cut and dried who's going to win.'' Bill Cram made the remark (Continued on page 10) • ••• ••• •• heads for Florida by Marty StalickMistakes and miscues like eating candy bars and honey before the race and taking a wrong turn and running sixty yards farther than the original course, did not detour the inevitable, as the LCC Titan cross country team waited just one-quarter of a mile before taking com man d and coasting to a perfect score victory in the Region 18 Cross Country Championships, Saturday morning. Dale Hammit, LCC's long-distance prodigy again recorded the winning time with a 20: 55.5 clocking at the Pendleton meet. After trailing the first 600 yards , the 'Titans sped past Blue Mountain CC's John Sekerka and never looked back from that point on. Midway through the four mile course, LCC runners were taking command in 1-2-3-4-5 fashion, with Hamm it in front with a 9: 51 two-mile clocking, follo\\-'.ed by Bill Cram, Tim Williams, Garrie Franklin and Randy Griffith.

Shortly after the end of the third milepost of the race, Hammit had a slight navigational problem with the help of a race official and wound-up running away from the course instead of with it. Fortunately, Hammit realized his mistake and was able to correct it, before he had run too far. Luckily for the Titans as a whole, the other schools that had played the follow-theleader game for the first three miles continued the game, not knowing they were also going the wrong way and wound-up playing the seventh hole fairway behind Hammit and company. In jockeying for positions for the final standings, Williams and Franklin both were able to outleg team mate Cram to the wire, while fifth place finisher, Griffith, out-hustled BMCC's Sekerka and Dan Stanhope. LCC Cross Country Coach, AI Tarpenning commented on the race saying, ''We made no major mistakes in running." Talking further about the Titan's finishing order, Tarpenning said, ''We have interchangeable men in running positions. The number-two man will finish number five the one week then he will finish back up high in the pack the next." When asked if this has any influence on the runners, Tarpenning said, ''Sure it - has.

'Hopefully it will be a peaceful solution' An Arab student attending college in America often has a different outlook on certain situations than what is taught in class. But some, like Abdullah N. Sudairy, find it enlightening. Abdullah is a Saudi Arabian who is working for a political science degree in America. The The Saudi Arabian government pays for his education under the agreement that he return to Saudi Arabia after he gets his degree and works for the government for three years. Abdullah feels that American instructors and the Americanb press tend to give a "one-sided view" of the Middle East problem. He said he was aware that the jewish people were "treated badly in Germany" but, he explained, "they have no right to come to Palestime and treat the people(there) badly. The Jewish people have the right to live in Palestine, but not all of them. For every Jewish family immigrates to Palestine there is an Arabian family who goes out of the country." Abdullah said there are already "about one , million refugees living out of their countries. There must be a solution, but hopefully it will be a peaceful solution/' he continued. Although Abdullah is only beginning his first year at LCC he has been in the US for a year and a half. Last year he attended a colleg·e· near San Francisco. . He said he likes the educational system in America better than that of Saudi Arabia because it is more flexible. In his country only one examination per year is given for each course. ''If you flunk it, that's it," he continued. Although he plans to work with the government of his country he does not find it strange that he is getting a degree in political science in America. He said that he is studying political Bench Slivers ... ( Continued from page 9) 1 "I guess that shows who's best in regionals."

Tarpenning g o es into the Florida meet hoping a bit for rain: ''We've had moisture during the past races, it would give us an advantage."

Abdullah was able to come to the US after being given a scholarship when he graduate from high school. He said his country is stressing education very heavily now, in fact, he said, even ::nore heavily thah its military. He said Saudi Arabia has no problem with its universities being overcrowded and feels that one reason his country has not seen the student . riots the US has experience in the past few ·' ·:years is because the students are satisified with 1-.'-.the status quo. In his country, Abdullah said, \the government will pay people from the villages to attend colleges. Abdullah , who speaks English well said he studied English for six years while in school (in Saudi Arabia English is a required subject) and then went to England for more English language studies. He has decided the only way to learn English is to live in a country where the language is spoken. Even though Abdullah has been living in a country where English is spoken he admits to having difficulty understanding all the different dialects of "American English." When Abdullah came to America he felt equipped to deal with American society because of his exposure to it through American movies and television--there was no "culture shock," he claims. In fact, he explained, after a short • briefing, in New York when he first arrived, - he has been completely on his own in the US, He said he has experienced no great difficulties because of the different culture. Abdullah lives in Ashlane housing.in Springfield. Apathy closes Zero Population group The LCC chapter of the Zero Population Growth, (ZPG), has all but disbanded, according to Freeman Rowe, LCC Science instructor and former ZPG member. ZPG held their last meeting two weeks ago which was attended by only two members who are carry-overs from 1as t year's club. Rowe said that most students who attend LCC stay only for one year, and this creates a problem for most clubs. Zero Population Growth started the LCC chapter in the 197172 school year. The group is responsible for a hand book on Birth Control that is issued free upon request at the Student Health Service. Student apathy was one of the prob 1ems that ZPG faced in establishing the LCC chapter. "Most students work and leave campus right after classes, or are just apathetic and not aware of the ZPG," said Rowe. Rowe, went on to s a~ he feels that ZPG _is catching-on, however, and this can be substanciated by the figures released on the US birth rate--these figures show a definite drop. • Rowe explained that there is a ZPG chapter in the Eugene area and also a Lane County chapter. He feels that most people in the school who are in ZPG belong to one of those chapters and don't find a need for an LCC chapter. Z.PG, according to Rowe, is spending all their money at this time on National TV spots. Rowe feels this will bring· results. FULL TIME: Live-In Couple. meals and clean. Just need one during the day.

According to Williams, he accomplished a good portion of that mission. Williams was appointed to fill the administrator slot by LCC President Eldon Schaferafterthe Evenieg Advisory Committee told Schafer tttat an administrator woo would W9'1'k with the eveni11g college program would make the evening program "more viable." Williams and his alternate, Larry Murray, discussed a wide range of topics concerning the evening program with the members of the committee as both men admitted they were, for the most part, unaware of the prob- that a night student can't complete his or her respective major in the evening college, among lems of the program and the goals of the committee itself. Committee members indic ated they were more than happy to fill them in on the drawbacks and roadblocks the evening college has faced. After hearing them Williams concluded that a great deal of " time is going to have to be ficial titles have been assigned to either Williams or Murray but public hearings have been scheduled on Nov. 10 at 9 a.m., and Nov. 13 at 3 p.m. for discussion of the possibilities. spent between the committee and my administration." Tom Committee President Klingbeil appointed a special actions sub-committee to gather dofaftiaceasn.d forward it to Williams' According to Klingbeil this data will consist of problems in class scheduling, college services unavailable at night, and the fact After the meeting Williams told the TORCH he was impressed with the committee and the job they're trying to do. He feels the Evening College must meet the needs of the students. "These people are pretty active and have some pretty hard ideas. One must understand that a night student usually is a working person during the day so he or she doesn't have a lot of time. If the program isn't meeting the needs, then the students are going to make darn sure that it does before wasting any more time. They aren't messing around." As yet, no specific respon. au t hon•t y, or even of sibilihes, Ben Kirk, an LCC science instructor who has met opposition because of the structure of his new course, "Science in Your Life," has failed in his efforts to obtain transfer credit standing for the course. Kirk, who instructed students in physical science; felt last year there were too few choices available for students who were non-science majors. " The available choices didn't fill the needs of some students, " he explained. As a result of this factor, and because of criticism of his teaching methods and the content of his physical science classes. he designed a course, entitled "Science in your Life," primarily for the non-scienc e major. According to the developer of the program, " The new course was designed to give the student an Students are asked as awareness on controversial projects. citizens to evaluate and· form opinions on matters they feel are Some of these topics include nuclear power, mass important. transit, ecology, use of insecticides, use of herbicides, and federal health regulations.'' Last year, while he was teaching physical science, Kirk received criticism from the LCC Board of Education. He explained, ' ' They found my way of grading the course objectionable, the way of measuring achievement objectionable, and the subjec( matter objectionable. They also objected to what I didn't consider.' ' In reference to part of his grading methods, he remarked that he asked the students to grade themselves. LCC President Schafer told the TORCH, _'' The Board objected because he has no way of measuring ac hievement." But, Schafer added, the Board "did approve of his teaching methods." Kirk submitted the new course outline to the administration, the LCC Board of Education, and the Oregon Board of Education, Kirk said that, "The new course as outlined was in that order. refused at every level." Schafer later said that, "Nobody objected to the course at LCC. However, the Oregon Board of Education didn't approve of the course." Kirk, in a brief summation of the reasons for the course not receiving transfer credit, related that the Oregon Board felt that in order for the course to have science credits awarded, the new course must meet the criteria for such a course. He remarked that according to the Oregon Board, " specifically, the course doesn't examine the skills the Oregon Board considers necessary-like the use of formulas for determining scientific factors, use of microscopes, and use of spectroscopes." The Oregon Board did inform LCC that the course could be offered but only as a non-state-reimbursable and a non-credit The course, under this arrangement, would have to be course. subsidized from local resourses only. The course is now being conducted during the Fall Term as a non-credit course. According to Schafer, "A group of fellow science teachers • • • five or seven from LCC, and three outside scientists from the University of Oregon, Portland Community College, and the State Board of Education, will meet with Kirk and try to fit the program to the Board's standards." The LCC President commented that. "If the course doesn't get transfer credit, it won't be offered after Fall Term." Kirk earlier stated that, "In order to receive credit, . the course has to be changed to meet the criteria of the Oregon Board. I made a promise to· the students taking the course about its structure. I can't change the course now.,, Regulations of the Oregon State Department of Education stipulate that before a course can be assigned transferrable credit it must be accepted by a minimum of three-four year colleges. Kirk claims that five such schools have said they would accept the course. He continued, "Each time an objection is met a new one pops up. I get the impression no one wants the course." -~-M~M--~~MM, ~~/:Jtll?Lt!!! r,i, -,I,;/ rr c;;, TERM PAPERS Send for your descriptive, up-to-date 128-page, mail order catalog of 2,300 quality termpapers.

The usage of the sewer lagoon by a proposed Apartment Complex next to the college was one of the major topics of discussion at both the Board's Oct. 11 meeting and the ASL CC Senate's Oct. 12 meeting. Both groups feared that if the complex was constructed the lagoon would be overloaded, thereby forcing the college to limit its growth.
