peakers highlight rally

LCC held its first Soap Box
Rally last Thursday giving students and staff an opportunity to
discuss any topic which concerned them. A half dozen students, and one faculty member
made use of the opportunity.
Most of the topics were related to the issue of student
rights-Ben Kirk, the Welding
Program, the Labor History and
Sociology of Work classes, the
lack of photographic facilities,
and recent incidents arounct the
country involving the shooting of
Black students.
• Roger Carlson spoke on behalf of Ben Kirk, whose position
as an LCC Physical Science instructor will be reviewed again
on Dec. 130 Carlson felt that
Kirk is teaching a worthwhile
kind of physical science which
deals with human interaction with
the environment, and positive
change for the ecology of the
planet Earth. He urged that students support Ben Kirk before the
Board of Education and work
to regain accreditation of his
class.
• Pat Gary talked about the
,, el ding program. He said, '' Our
program was changed last summer through somewhat dubious
means and a lot of students didn't
even know it.·' His main point
was that the program, as it is
now, does not offer welding certification which greatly reduces
the potential income of welding
students.
Gary also said that the new
program does away with the metallurgy and the senior project
classes, both of which are important to a welding career. He
emphasized that the welding stu<ients have formed a cohesive
group and have initiated negotiations with the administration,
and that other students who want
something changed should do the
same.

• Dale Rogers spoke about the
Labor History class, which may
be terminated because of substandard enrollment (less than
18 students) and the Sociology
of Work class, which is being
changed to an evening class next
term. He said that these classes
have not been given a chance to
get rolling. Rogers felt that labor
history focuses on the biggest

social movement our country has
ever experienced, but that very
few people know about it.
• John Bauguess, the LCC
photography instructor, said that
LCC 's photographic facilities do
not meet the demands of the
students. He stated that the administration has not seen the

Election challenge
defeated by Senate
'' I voted three times," ASLCC Senator Steve Leppanen told the
Student Senate Thursday, during his unsuccessful attempt to void last
week's elections.
'' I voted for the Constitution; against it; and I abstained from voting. I voted for Trudy, for Bernie (referring to the race for the
Freshman Senator's seat from the Business Department-the only
contested race.), and I wrote myself in," said Leppanen. He also
noted a ballot box manned by only one person and another Senator
claimed he had voted without showing his student body card.
The motion Leppanen presented asked to have the Senate "direct
the Board of Tellers to void the 1972 Fall Elections for student government because of mishandling."
Publicity Director Jack Hart

Vets benefits added by congressional act

by Lee Beyer

Paid tutors, special classes, career counseling, and a health care and information referral service will all be part of a new Veterans Office to be opened at the start of Spring
Term.
The new interest in veterans was brought about
with the passage of the Higher Educational Act
in Congress last summer. A provision in the
act pr<i>vides for cash awards to all colleges which
increase their veterans services and actively recruit veterans to their school.
Under the Act, to be eligible for the rebates
a college must have a separate and special Veterans Services Office and the college must have
increased its number of attending vets by at least
10 per cent over the previous year.
Previously at LCC veteran's affairs were
handled by the Financial Aids Office, but with
the increases in veterans programs and the
number of vets attending Lane, the administration
has seen a need for a separate Vets Office,
said Frances Howard, Financial Aids director.
Ms. Howard said that the new veterans programs will not only help the vets themselves
but also the college. She explained that as part
of a new higher educational program to help
returning veterans, the federal government has
offered to reimburse colleges for their active
efforts at helping the ex- GI's.

According to Ms. Howard, colleges that meet
these qualifications by Winter Term will be
eligible for rebates for every vet enrolled.
Full funding for the program calls for rebates
of $300 for every veteran and $50 extra for
every educationally disadvantaged vet Though
full payment has not yet been authorized by
the government Ms. Howard expects that each
institution that can prove its eligibility will
get around $100 per vet enrolled.
"We're not talking about a small amount
of money," said Ms. Howard, "Last year we
had a thousand vets enrolled at LCC. This
would mean at least $100,000 to be added to our
budget.''
Ms. Howard added, though, that not all of
this money will go directly into veterans' programs. Under the federal guidelines only half
of the money must be spent for veterans' programs while the other half may be entered into
the college's general fund.
Currently, the administration is shaping up
the new program at Lane for Winter Term, said
Ms. Howard. She said that the program will
offer special courses open only to veterans,
such as reorientation to college and career
analysis. In the same direction, there will be
special tutoring programs to help the vet meet

Courts attack press--again
Once again the privilege of a reporter to
keep confident the identity of news sources has
received the challenge of the Courts.
In the past newspapers and the courts have
lived in relative peace with newsmen realizing
that their rights to keep confidence were not
absolute and the courts asking for disclosure
of news sources only in major cases.
But, in 1970 a New York Times reporter,
Earl Caldwell, refused even to enter a grand
jury courtroom to answer questions on his
story about the Black Panthers. Caldwell's reasoning was that if he even entered the courtroom, his contacts would dry up for lack of
trust.
This case was decided last summer by the
US Supreme Court. In its decision, the Court
said that newsmen have no immunity from the
citizen's obligation to furnish information in
connection with criminal investigations.
Following the high court's decision the lower
courts lost no time in using the precedent against
other reporters. In the last couple of months
a Newark reporter, Peter Bridge, was sent to
jail indefinitely for refusing to reveal sources
.o:f information about a story involving municiple
corruption. Bridge was kept imprisoned until
the term of the grand jury expired.

•In past weeks '. the US Supreme Court added
to its precedent, refusing to hear the case of
Los Angeles reporter William T. Farr, who
was jailed on contempt of court charges for his
refusal to reveal an attorney who gave him
information during the Manson murder trial.
A judge had issued an order at the beginning
of the Manson trial prohibiting lawyers and other
participants from discussing the trial out of:
court. This order was in line with a new code
of. ethics (The Reardon Report) adopted by the
American Bar Association in 1968 recommending
that judges use their authority to order attorneys and court officials not to give the press
certain information about a trial prior to its
court date.
The Bar Association leader had said at the
time that the rules were not meant to interfere

Last week, Farr who had been in and out of
jail on contempt charges for his refusal to reveal
his sources, was again jailed. The presiding
judge said that Farr will remain in jail until
he agrees to disclose the information.
Following the Supreme Court's Caldwell dec1s10n, John ·Mitchell US Attorney General, then
issued a set of guidelines for federal prosecutors stating that the press is not to be considered "an investigative arm of the governm.~nt," that all sources of information are to
be exhausted before a member of the press
is subpoenaed, and that the case must be of such
importance that the Attorney General himself
must authorize the subpoena.
Clearly the lower courts and prosecutors
do not agree with Mitchell and have acted otherwis~in many cases taking advantage of the
newsman.
It is also clear that the press no longer
has enough friends on the Supreme Court, and
it appears they will have to look elsewhere
for aid.
It is only proper that the public should have
a right to know and the press should be free
of restriction to serve this right. It is unfortunate that many people in the judicial field
do not recognize the newsman's need for keeping his sources confidential. Without this right
it appears that the press in the near future may
find it difficult to obtain information of vital
interest to the general public such as intergovernment corruption. Because of this possibility, we call on the people and our congressional representatives to enact legislation protecting the rights of the press and the public's
right to know.

with the press but to give judges power over the
trial lawyers.
Judge Charles Older, who cited Farr, had an
understandable reason for wanting to know which
attorney disobeyed his order. But the reporter
e::ided up being the judge's whipping boy and in
doing so the judge was interferring with the
n~wsman's unwritten right to gather information
and, indirectly, with the public's right to know.

Dear Editor:

The TORCH has been using the
title ''Ms." when referring to
the females talked about. The
last issue (Nov.28 page 1) was
clearly contradictory when it stated. . .Dave Edinger hands the
keys of his newly-won Toyota
to his wife. . . Ms. Edinger."
If that woman wanted the use
of "Ms." shewouldn'thavechanged her name to her husband's and
furthermore would have objected to being the subject of another person (i.e. HIS wife).
I feel it is absurd to arbitrarily use "Ms." to refer to any
woman. Even further than that,
i believe titles themselves are
idiotic.

28, the LCC Black Student Union
(BSU) held its sixth meeting of
the Fall Term. The meetings have
been very successful except in
the aspect of participation. The
maximum number that have attended these meetings have been
on an average of 15--there are
approximately 64 Black students
enrolled in LCC.
We feel that to continue successfully, the BSU, in its attempts
to create positive events for

-Special Report from Washington -

VC GOES MODERATE
By Jack Anderson
H.172 Pulitzer Prize Winner for National Reporting(Copyri1ht, 1972, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

WASHINGTON-Secret Intelligence reports from Vietnam indicate that the Viet
Cong are preparing to change
their spots during the political
struggle for control of the
Saigon government.
The Communists have suddenly starteo. courting nonCommunist leaders in Saigon
who are opposed to President
Thieu. The Viet Cong apparently want to adopt a more
moderate front in order to win
the non-Communist left over
to their side.
Meanwhile, the true neutralists in South Vietnam-those
who oppose both Saigon and
Hanoi-are desperately trying
lo gain a voice in the peace
settlement.
The proposed peace accord
calls for a three-part national
council to work out the peace
terms. One third are supposed
to be appointed by Saigon, one
third by Hanoi. The remaining
third are supposed to be
neutral.
But the neutralists have no
real base of power. So far, they
have failed to get the United
States-or anyone else- to
recognize them.
It now
appears obvious that Saigon
will choose half of the so-called
neutralists and Hanoi the
other half. They will be neutral, therefore, in name only.
The real neutralists in South
Vietnam, who would like to
rally round General Duang
Van Minh, popularly known as
"Big Minh," are privately
appealing to the United States
for help.
But Henry Kissinger, for
one, hasn 't had much time to
consider the appeals of the
neutralists. Negotiating with
Hanoi by day and Saigon by
night, the President's master
negotiator has been too busy
to worry about the neutralists.
-Public Relations Two years ago with great
fanfare
President
Nixon
ordered his chief lieutenants to
curtail their public relations
activities. But we have found
that the public still pays a stiff
price for the privilege of being
told by the bureaucrats how
good they are.
Instead of tooting their own
horn, government agencies
now farm out public relations
work to private advertising
agencies.
Under the Nixon Administration, we have learned, some
400 private public relations
firms have gotten over a thousand contracts at a cost to the
public of well over $77 million.
Here are some highlights:
• $52 million, or about fourfifths of the total, was spent
by the Pentagon. The biggest
contract, for $4 7 million, went
to N. W. Ayer & Son of
Philadelphia for an Army
recruiting program.
• The Environmental Protection Agency alone handed
out 400 PR contracts. One of
them called for an expenditure
of $18,500 for "original paintings."
• The Commerce Depart-

ment spent nearly $4 million
with a New York firm to
promote "tourism" in the
United States.
All of this, of course, doesn't
take into account the $116
million the government spends
each year to keep its 6,000
"information specialists" on
the payroll.
- Black FilesThe FBI keeps thousands of
citizens under surveillance for
the crime of speaking their
own minds, but one group
especially harassed are black
civil rights leaders.
We have obtained the FBI
file on a prominent black
leader that is loaded with
malicious and irrelevant details about his personal life.
The file typifies the kind of
information the FBI has collected on numerous black
leaders, including the late Rev.
Martin Luther King, Rep.
Walter Fauntroy, Rev. Ralph
Abernathy, Roy Innis and
Floyd McKissick,
among
others.
By no stretch of the imagination can this man be called
a revolutionary, yet here is the
.kind of information the FBI
has collected on him:
• Much of the man's dossier
concerns his alleged lack of
leadership ability and the
troubles he is having with his
staff. One of his close associates is quoted as saying the
man is suffering from '' ego1nania.''
• Other memos are concerned with the man's married
life. He has "periodically experienced marital discord,"
says one document. The
black leader himse~f is quoted
as saying his wife ''treated
him like a dog.·'
• The FBI has even taken
note of the medicines the man
takes. One agent wrote that
the subject "utilizes a number
of medications daily 'to get
going,' and other pills in order
to sleep at night. At various
times during the day he resorts to additional pills."
The FBI, of course, could
spend the taxpayers' money
more profitably investigating
criminals rather than the personal life of a law-abiding
black civil rights leader.

_Keck addresses
meeting of LCC
Staff Association
At their mid-November meeting the LCC Staff Association
was addressed by Donald Keck
of Washington DC, associate director of the National Faculty
Association of community and
junior colleges ,
In his talk, Keck explained that
national organizations are forming to look into the areas of
education management and the
overlapping of administration and
classroom instruction. Keck explained that schools, on an individual basis, can make changes
on their own campuses but would
be more effective if they banned
together in large national organizations.
Ted Romoser, anLCCStaff Association member, s aid that
Keck is opposed to the business
approach to ed~cation and is not
in favor of education using the
management-by - objectives approach.
Citing an example of management overlapping into education
on the LCC campus, Romoser referred to the class enrollment
size policy that has been established at LCC.
Romoser views this policy as
limit_ing to the instructor the
avenues open to instruction,
'' Forcing instructors to teach
large classes that generate more
reimbursement from the state is
limiting the instructor to teach
his course lecture style, rather
than on an individual conference
basis/: said Romoser.

Security police force
battle campus theft
by Sheila Rose

"I couldn't believe anyone would do that--especially at Lane,"
said Gloria Swager an LCC student commenting on the recent theft
of a tape deck from her automobile. .
Ms. Swager' s truck, which was parked in the west lot, was
broken into on Nov. 9, and a tape deck, tapes, a tool box, and other
items were taken, valued at $600, according to Ms. Swager. At
the time the truck was locked, but a window was left partly unrolled. "It's too bad when you have to tie everything down," she commented.
This story is not uncommon, according to Mark Rocchio, head
of Security Police on the LCC campus. Ten thefts have been reported this term, with most occurring in the south and west lots.
Rocchio attributes this to the greater concentration of vehicles
in these areas: "Students who leave tape deck speakers visible in
their rear windows, or who leave their cars unlocked, are just
asking for it," Rocchio warned.
But the tape deck thefts are not the only problems confronting
the LCC security team---several "purse snatchings" have also occur- ·
red, mainly by the carelessness of the owners. A woman will leave
her purse unattended and return to find it missing. These crimes
usually occur near the pool tables in the cafeteria, in the locker
area of the Physical Education Department, and in lounge areas
in the Center Building. To try to prevent these crimes Hocchio
stations work-study law enforcement students to watch these areas.
Rocchio's security team has four regular. security officers
(besides Rocchio) and six work-study students. Of the regular security officers, one is always on duty. These officers, Ross Barton, Alan "Hap" Stanley, Paul Chase, and Randy Hart, do the investigative work. Rocchio said, "you can call the Sheriff's office and they will come out and investigate it (a crime) for you,
but they can't do anything we can't do." These officers can also
issue speeding tickets, although this year they have issued only
one moving violation.
,
Rocchio has a degree in law enforcement from San Jose State
College and spent two years with the San Jose Police Department.
In addition, he has six years of other job experience. He gave as
his .reason for leaving the San Jose Police Department the use of
the "hard line approach." Rocchio emphasized the use of the '' soft
line approach" here.
Crimes may be reported by contacting Rocchio or his office,
(Ext. 301) which is located on the first floor of the Administration
Building.

Student enrollment in~specia.lty science classes
sho\Ys current biology curriculum approval
by Lenn Lethlean

''The new general biology curriculum requirements explored
this year at LCC are an attempt
to w id en emphasis in teaching
concepts of general biology,"
commented Tom Wayne of the
Science Department.
"It was the opinion of the
biology staff that there was a m~ed
to provide a broader selection of

classes. Students have different
interests and backgrounds, and
most students have had at least
two courses of general biology
before they enrolled at LCC.
Th13y don't really care to take
another basic course in biology,"
continued Wayne.
Wayne said that last year questionnaires we re passed out to students and a study was conducted
to explore the idea of a work-

Community health services offered

A wide variety of health and clinical services are available
to LCC students in the Eugene-Springfield, Cottage Grove, and
surrounding areas from the Lane County Community Health Services
Department in Eugene. These services are available in addition
to LCC's health services.
The services include nursing, mental health, medical help and
health education programs. A staff of over 20 nurses and counselors
provide consultations, treatments and physician referrals. Some of
the clinics involve child health, immunizations, family planning and
tuberculosis clinics. The following is a list of some of the department's progams:
• A nursing service, open to mothers and small children,
offers child birth and child education classes. All pre-natal classes
are held at the Courthouse on Tuesdays from 9 to ll a.m. School

A little public interest money goes a long way. Oregon Student
Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) doesn't have the money
to "take on" the big guys. It does have enough to take a close look
at the operations of government and big business, though. With the
ability they have to get the attention of the public through the press,
they are sometimes more effective than if they were financed on a
level with the people they study.
No one, for example, could expect an OSPIRG with about
$150,000 a year income to be the equal of Portland General Electric
(PGE), a multi-million dollar utility giant. Yet, with one staff member
and a student, and a little volunteer help (no more than the cost
of a few billboards), OSPIRG raised serious doubts about PGE's
rate structure. They attended a rate hearing where PGE asked for
more money to bring their "profit" up to that allowed by the Public
Utilities Commission. The hearing process is complex and the room
was filled with experts. OSPIRG felt at a loss and wondered what
a student group could really do.
But there in the middle of the experts, OSPIRG asked an intelligent question, and voila! found a major flaw in the way PGli: calculates
its rates. It was amazing. OSPIRG asked them how they calculated
their "cost of service to customer" and they answered that they did
not have that information.
PGE subsequently withdrew its rate request.
OSPIRG doesn't have the money to be the "equal" of state
government either. But studies of state government use of outside
consulting firms show great amounts of waste. OS PIRG went in
and asked a few good questions. The answers showed the student
group that consultants are often poorly selected, overpaid, overutilized, biased, sloppy, etc., and as a result the state of Oregon may
waste up to $5,000,000 a year.
Again, smart students, good staff help, a few good questions, and
a small amount of money showed OSPIRG--and state governmentsomething they didn't know.
There are lots of other areas. You will be hearing about them
over the next few months. OSPIRG has lost a lot of its initial terror
of challenging assumptions of large agencies or corporations. They
have more faith in their research and the quality of the work done
by the staff and students"

able variety of classes. Several
classes were suggested as a result. The major problem was in
convincing all of the Science Department staff that the new program was workable," commented
Wayne.
This fall several new "specialty courses," which carry general biology credit were instituted. John Jacobs, Science Department chairman, estimates
that about 300 students have
elected to enroll in one of the
special classes.
'' There will still be the general
Biology sections . which will be
the more traditional approach
without special subject matter
e:nphasis, '' Wayne explained.
All of the instructors have
found the new program satisfactory in their requirements for
the st u ct en ts . The instructors
have also found that more students are staying through the
q11arter, that there is increased
participation in classes, and that
there is a higher interest in the
class and in problem- solving in
the class.
"The reason for this increased
interest seems to be . . . the
choice of classes, more excitem;,nt projected by instructors and
students because of the special
interest of a particular class ..•
more field work and deeper involvement in class problems,''
a1~cording to Wayne.
The new classes are:
•Animal Behavior: Evolution
and adaptation of animal behavior.
•Bi rd s of Oregon: A field
course emphasizing recognition
of Oregon birds.

Polaroids proposed for photography
'' You can immediately look at
what you've done/' said John
Bauguess, LCC Photography instructor while discussing his
proposal to use Polaroid cameras for first term photography
students.
He said using the camera would
help the students avoid the "confusion of fancy gadgets on cameras, technical problems of de-

veloping film and printing, and
the added problem of getting
people in the darkroom. 1 '
Bauguess said he has contacted
the Polaroid Corporation, asking
them to donate 20 Polaroid Swingers, but so far has received no
reply. Bauguess is also requesting staff and students to donate
or sell their Polaroids to the
Photo classes.

Summer memories
Yesterday's cold air probably made many people
think of their summer trips and experiences with a
twinge of remorse. That time is over -- for several
months, anyway.
If Milt Madden or Paul Malm thought of their summer
experiences yesterday they were having thoughts that
were probably different from most.
Madden, an LCC history instructor, spent the past
summer, as he has for the nine previous summers,
as a park ranger in the Rocky Mountain National Park.
located about 60 miles northwest of Denver.
Madden said he returns as a park ranger every
summer because it gets him and his family away
from organized living. '' The only rule in the summer
Madden house is to do as you want, when you want
to do it," he said,
But Madden also enjoys returning to LCC at the end
of the summer to get away from the tourists. One of
his most hated questions is: ''Why don'tthey make more
big campgrounds? (pause) Say, where has all the wildlife gone to?"
Malm, an LCC international relations instructor, spent
the summer traveling around Israel -- his second trip
in four years. (Two LCC students, Carleen Towlerton
and Rich Schreiber, traveled with Malm.)
Malm said the main reason he traveled to Israel
was to update his knowledge of the Middle East problem.
While in the Middle East, Malm had a chance to
visit and interview several diplomats and military leaders
and other authorities on Middle East problems.
and other authorities.
He said later he also had the chance to learn the
proper -- and improper -- way to mount a donkey .

"People helping people" is
the special theme of the Eugene
Jaycees Christmas Shoppin~
Tour, said Chuck Heauser,
Eugene Jaycees chairman and
tour chairman.
Heauser said the main purpose of this annual event is to
give local, underprivileged chil~
dren the c h an c e to have as
memorable a Christmas as other
children enjoy.
The Jay c e es, according to
Heauser, acquire the names of
about 400 children, 6 to 12 years
in age, mainly through Eugene
school principals.
On Dec. 12, the date of the
Christmas Shopping Tour, Jaycee couples will accompany the
children while they shop for gifts
in the Eugene downtown mall,
said He au s er. Afterward, the
children are taken to the Eugene
Hotel where many community
groups, such as the Campfire
Girls, will assist with gift wrapping and will organize a Christmas party.
The shopping tour, said Heauser, is funded mainly through donations. Businessmen, clubs and
individuals all contribute. "Support has come from everyone,"
said Heauser.
For instance, today from 6 p.m.
until closing time, the Paddock
Tavern will feature a "Suds for

The newly built student government offices at
LCC ''cost us considerably less" than previously
expected, according to David Red Fox, LCC student body treasurer.
The five offices, located on the second floor of
the Center Building, were completed last week and
will be occupied by the LCC Executive Cabinet and
possibly other Student Senate members.

According to Red Fox, the cost of building the
offices was previously estimated to be '' around
$2000." But, said Red Fox, by" going through the ·
school'' services and utilizing student skills, the
cost was kept down to $660, "so far," for supplies.
Red Fox stated that various LCC students had
heiped in the architectural planning and actual construction of the offices, which, in effect, had a
double benefit--money was saved and experience

to proceed with the orderly progression and planning for the

said, part of the budget involved
the hiring of a new nurse and the
purchasing of supplies.

Further expansion of LCC' s
Student Health Services will inelude diagnosis and treatment
of mononucleosis, other infections, and pregnancy. A small
fee will probably have to be
• charged for the mono and pregnancy tests to cover their cost.

In college, ROTC is a course in management development. A sure

Applications are still being accepted from former military
dental corpsmen for a special dental hygiene training program at
LCC.
Ex-military men and women with experience as dental corpsmen
are being sought to fill the first class, which is scheduled to begin
after the first of the year. Applications will be accepted through
the first week in December.
The hygienist program was set up by LCC paradental officials
and the national department of Health, Education & Welfare (HEW)
to take advantage of skills and experience a military corpsman
picked up during his service years.
Special instructional packages are being developed that will
allow students to advance at their own rate of speed. Though the
regular dental hygienist curriculum calls for two years of study,
many ex-military men and women could expect to make it through
in less time, perhaps in 12 to 15 months, said the program' s administrators.
Completion of the course carries an associate of science degree and makes the graduate eligible to take state licensing examinations. Applicants are urged to write R.J. Boettcher, Paradental
Training Grant, LCC 1 4000 E. 30th Ave.,Eugene, or apply in person at Room 207 in the math building at LCC.

Elections ...

Also elected were OSPIRG 1 s
Board of Directors: Sonja Rasmussen, Dustan Johnson, Garry
Spencer Fedaraw, Bill Neighbors, Jan Lonnquist, and Jerry
Edin.
The Phi Theta Kappa elections
resulted in the election of Stan
Nielson as President, Rhonda
Harwood as vice-president, and
Sheila Rose as s e c re ta r ytreasurer.

'Student Nurse of the Year'
aY1arded to LCC contestant

----•:
r ,.

Judy Smith

Oregon's ' ' Student Nurse of
the Year" title has been presented to Ms. Judy Smith, a
second-year Associate Degree
Nursing (ADN) student at LCC,
in an annual contest held at Good
Samaritan Hospital in Portland.
Ms. Smith competed for the title along with seven other contestants from other nursing programs in Oregon. Each nursing
contestant was chosen by fell ow
classmates to represent their
college. The winner is judged on
appearance, poise, medical
knowledge, and a prepared three
minute speech which the contestant must compose herself.
For Ms. Smith, a mother of
four children, the event was both
rewarding and exciting for herself and her children. She commented, ' ' My children were
really thrilled; they treated me
as though I was a celebrity."
Her husband, Donald, and her

children were the ones who encouraged her to go into nursing, she said.
Ms. Smith added that she is
glad she is able to '' fulfill a
life-long dream" of becoming a
nurse after almost a 20-year
absence from school. She feels
that the title means a lot to her,
considering the work that a student nurse puts into her career.
Ms. Smith was an undergraduate of Northwest Christian
College and worked part-time
in a hospital to help finance her
schooling.
Later, after graduating from NCC with a degree
in theology, she married the
Reverend Smith, pastor of Westside Christian Church, and raised a family.
She is now eligible for the National competition in Texas, but at
this time she is unsure whether
she will be going.

Results released
on nursing exams

LCC's Nursing Director Mary
Fiorentino reported last week
that 37 graduates from last year's
nursing program have passed
the i r state board examinations
and are now qualified to become
Licensed Registered Nurses.
The exams, held in Portland
last July, were the first part of
a five part test requirement. The
results of the exams raises the
number of LCC nursing graduates
who have earned their certificate
in the last three years to 92.
Five of the graduates this year
were men.
Only three of the 40 graduates
failed the examination, said Ms.
Fiorentino. LCC graduates who
have successfully completed the
two year nursing program, earn
an associate of science certificate.

Information Center
answers questions on
drugs, drug usage
The Drug Information Center
(DIC) in Eugene is an information clearing house answering
questions about drugs and drug
usage whether they be over-thecounter prescription drugs, or illegal street drugs.
The DIC is connected with
MEDLERS, a computer system
operating a world-wide medical
data bank. "If we can't get you
an answer about drugs you probably won't get one," stated Mark
Miller director of the DIC.
The DIC library houses over
200 books on drugs and numerous medical articles, drug pamplets, and research data.. The
center also has access to books
in the medical library at Sacred
Heart General Hospital.
The DIC is funded mainly by
the University of Oregon student
government. "We have applied
for a grant from the federal
government for $50,000. If we
can get it we will be able to
serve the entire state "said Miller.
In July of this year the DIC
started a drug analysis project,
with the purpose of informing the
community of the inherent dangers of illegal street drugs. The
service is free and does not
involve any legal authorities-anyone using the service is anonymous.
Persons wanting to use the drug
analysis service are urged to
call the DIC at 686-5411. But the
center warns do not bring drugs
to the DIC office as "it will
put you and the service in serious legal danger."

New chan ges ,n
GI Bill

to affec t many students
by Art Lamons

More chan a million students, taking advantage of the GI Bill, will be affected by changes
which come as a result of a new law approved
by the President on Oct. 24.
Director of the Department of Veterans Services in Lane County (VA) Wally Bortz said
though the new law liberalizes the criteria for
paying additional benefits, the bill still '' is
much the same as it was for the World War
II veteran." It has a wide var,iety of benefits
and has improved some because it is '' adaptable."
National Administrator of Veterans Affairs
Donald E. Johnson said the new Oct. 24 law
does much more than raise training allowances
and authorize advance payment."
It allows the veteran adopting children to
receive benefits for that child before the final decree of adoption is issued.
The new law also says that for all VA
benefit purposes, the term "wife'' shall include
the husband of the female veteran, and ''widow" shall include the widower of a female
veteran.
The following changes are listed by VA News
as those of greatest interest to students:

Gl's head home
GI's board a troop transport in Vi'etnam for along awaited
flight back to the US1 bringing to an end their tour of duty, and in
most cases a discharge from the military.

Women vetera ns, .•

(CPS}--The new veteran's education law, signed by ?resi-dent Nixon October 24, includes liberalized provisions for
women veterans.
Women veterans no longer will have to prove that
their husbands are disabled and permanently incapable
of self-support in order for education allowance, compensation, and pension money that male veterans are allowed
for their wives.
This provision applies to the GI bill, vocational rehabilitations, pensions, compensations, and dependency and
indemnity compensation (DIC), which is paid for serviceconnected deaths.
The law also liberalizes the criteria for. paying additional amounts for children who are · iD the custody of a
veteran and also awaiting adoption.

Women veterans have already been receiving the-same

Rules on tutoring are liberalized to make

Women veterans may now claim their husbands as dependents. Widowers offemale veterans
will now receive the same benefits as widows.
Lump sum payments of allowance are authorized for wives, widows and children enrolled in educational programs on. less than a

Local Director Bortz again emphasized that
"time is running short" for those. veterans discharged before June 1966. "There are now
less than two years to file for and complete
educational benefits." he said, "Also the veteran
should check every year or two in order to
inform himself of new laws or changes.1'

Surrounded by thousands of dollars worth of
stereo equipment, new cars, and worn out military fatigues, many veterans, who are the products of the Vietnam War and recent military
troop reductions, are fleeing and trying to forget their rigid military disciplines, to slip
into the degeneracy of civilian life.
Though few veterans have been drastica!}y
affected by their military service, many have
become disappointed and dissatisfied with US
military policies and strongly disapprove of them,
Yet, according to John Humbertson, an ex-Air
Force MP, and presently an LCC music major,
his disapproval of the military came after his
four year enlistment.
Taking off his stereo headphones, Humbertson explained that having no convictions about
the military, he joined the Air Force out of
high school with the idea of seeing the world
and getting a job he wanted. However, even though
he signed up for a tour in Europe, his only
chance to see the world came when he received a tour in Vietnam.
"I went in/' he stated turning down his
stereo, "with the idea that I would get the job
I wanted," (which was working on air conditioners). However, he ended-up as an MP and
the hopes that he could get the job he wanted
was only an illusion inspired by his Air Force
recruiter.
"Recruiters are probably the biggest liars
around/' stated Don Hetz, Humbertson's roommate, also an LCC student. Hotz claimes that
usually recruiters will promise jobs and tours
which will never materialize. Hotz went on to
say that recruiters "go to their home towns
and feed the kids, just out of high school, full
of bullshit and false oromises.''
As a· military policeman, Humbertson stated
that the training he received "didn't help me at
all. It showed me, "he added how a police
force operates." However, contrary to his military training, he did take while station in Viet(Continued on p~g~ 2)

Nightmares part of vets life
by

Steve

_Busby

The worst attrocity ·of the Vietnam War may
not be the physical damage ,to innocent victims. Rather it might be the damage done to
the minds· and · characters of the participants.
Garry Battles, a student at LCC is an example.
Battles is a sensitive, concerned man. He
is also a man who says he is scarred by the
things that he has seen and been forced to
do while in the defense of our country.
Battles comes from a conservative background
in Ohio. He ·did the typical things that young
people do in this country: He dated, drank a few
beers, and rebelled quietly against the authorities
that he thought were wrong.
This is changed ' now. Now he is vociferously
opposed to any and all of the actions of authority
that he does not agree with. He trusts few people
because he feels that few people really know
what is going on in the world.
Nightmares are a part of Gary's life now.
He dreams of the old man he was ordered to
shoot and he thinks of the other Vietnamese
he saw other men shoot. He did these things
to survive because, as he says "The only 'way
to get ou t o~ the field was to kill more people than anyone else."
The senselessness of the killing and brutality finally "got to his mind." He refused
to "pull any more triggers." He spent the remaining four months of his Vietnam tour guarding a supply dump.
.
He received an honorable discharge. But he
was discharged in time to feel the after effects of the incident at Kent State near his
Ohio home.
He had returned to sanity only to find the
rest of the world had gone crazy.

Vietam vets
disillusioned
According to a survey of nearly
650 veterans in the St. Louis
area, veterans of the Vietnam
era are disillusioned and angry
about what they feel is discrimination by American society.
"Their own society thinks of
them as dregs and drop-outs,
dehumanized killers -or drug
addicts, or pitiful victims of a
hated war to be avoided and
shunned," says the study report
conducted by the Veterans World
Project at Southern lllinios University-Edwardsville.
The findings of the survey
recognized the many veterans
feel that they are discriminated
against in job and e du c a ti on •
opportunities and the report proposed programs to bring them
into the mainstream of society.
~' The readjustment p r ob 1e m
cuts both ways," the report said.
'' Tens of millions of Americans
have allowed their frustration
and resentment about the Vietnam
War to turn itself against the men
who have had to fight."
Among the major recommendations in the report are
increased educational benefits,
construction of service centers
to assist veterans in the re adjustment period and a more
flexible system of administering
veterans affairs.
The study suggested use of the
job-splitting concept, u ri dt r
which two veterans are hired to
share a fun..:time position and
still . have time to continue their
education.
Nearly 60 per cent of the ,
veterans surveyed said they felt
society was not as interested
in them as it was ' in veterans
of previous wars.
The survey was started last
August, 1971,
by 60 Vietnam
veterans who used interviews and
questionnaires to check the attitudes of other veterans.
For
the puposes of the survey, only
men with military service since
1964 were questioned.
A report of this survey first
appeared in the Register Guard,
April 1972.

In the two years since his discharge Battles
has made speeches, written articles, and demonstrated in an attempt to show people what the
war has done to this nation and the people in
it. "It hasn't · helped as much as I wanted,"
laments Battles.
,
Currently Gary Battles is taking it easier,
trying to get his head together. Art and labor
relations courses he savs, are showing him the
way that he will have to go if he is to achieve
the results that he wants.

Illusion ... continued from page

nam a extention course from the University of
Maryland in Elements of Business Enterprise.
He remarked that this course was probably
the only worthwhile education he received while
~e was in the service.
Both Humbertson and Hotz agreed that readjusting to civilian life has been no problem
and that GI benefits have been both fair and
reasonable. "He's (Uncle Sam) going to pay for
my schooling," grinned Humbertson "and that
is all I want off him."
Disapproving of the bureaucracy of many
government programs, Humbertson stated'' I don't
really look forward to receiving be~efits from
the government. They treat you like a machine and all you are is a number to them. I
figured I was a number by the age of 13 when
I applied and received my social security card."
On the question of an all-volunteer army,
Humbertson disagrees, because "you would get
a bunch of professional killers. Right now,"
he continued, "there are enough people who don't
really want to be in there. They keep a watch
on the system, and balance the hatred."

(EDITOR'S Note: Bill Mansell, the college ; controller and a former Bookstore Commission member, was contacted in the absence of LCC Business Manager, Bill Watkins.)
Most all college bookstores return part of their ' yearly profits to the stttdents.
Basically there are three ways in which bookstores can share with their patrons
some of the take: By reimbursement to a student organization; by direct payment to
individual students; and by reduced prices.
LCC's bookstore is set up to use the first of these choices and it returns money
to the Student Senate through a formula based on enrollment. Basically, this formula
gives the Senate $1.55 for each Full Time Equivilent student (an FTE is measured
by each student who takes at least 45 credit hours per year). Using this formula the
bookstore last year returned over $9,000 to the Senate.

Mansell llesltautly agreed wifh this and explained this is one of the problems that
our bookstore is now facing. Mansell said that the administration now feels that the FTE
rate should be increased, probably to $1.60-65. When asked if he favors this approach
to student reimbursement, Mansell, a graduate of am and former member of their
bookstore co-op, said he favors reducing prices in the bookstore.

80% poll~d $ay bookstore doing above average iob

Eighty per cent of the students polled in a recent survey said that the LCC book- .
store is doing an "above average" job in serving the students' needs.
During the middle weeks of Fall Term 107 students answered a 16-question opinion .
survey which queried student attitude on bookstore prices, buy-back policies, selection
of textbooks, availability of supplemental books and tools, and the way the store is
meeting the needs of students. Students were asked to convey their attitudes toward
the store by answering the questions on a scale of one to five -- with one being "poor,"
three being "average," and five being "excellent."
For the purpose of analysis, the results of five questions are listed here in terms
of the mean average of all 107 responses.
How well is the LCC bookstore serving your · needs as a student? The mean average
response was 3.63.
Are you satisfied with the selection of books supplemental to texts available at the
bookstore? The mean average was 3.14.
Are you satisfied with the selection of tools and supplies (paper, binders, utensils,

Do . you feel that LCC bookstore prices for required text books are reasonable?
The mean average response was 2.49.
Do you feel that the book buy-back rate offered by the bookstore is fair? The mean·
average was 3.11.
The mean average statistics seem to imply that students react most negatively
to the price of required textbooks and the buy-back rates offered for used texts. These
sentiments can perhaps be attributed to the fact that book prices and buy-back rates
are budget areas most directly affecting the student.
However, it is important to know who sets the policies for these two areas. The
new textbook prices are extablished by the publisher, not by the bookstore personnel.
And, most collegiate stores buy-back used texts (if the texts are to be used again)
at the rate of 50 per cent of the original price.
Listed below are five categories demonstrating student attitude in four departments,
on campus, and one random sampling (taken in the cafeteria).

According to Oregon State University Co-op Bookstore Manager, Anson H.P. Smith, 10 per
cent or more of the store's
profits are returned to student

nation.
am students or faculty who
desire membership in the bookstore co-operative, pay a 50-cent
fee per school year, according
to Smith. For a member to receive a financial return on the
books he purchases, he must
save his sales receipts during
the course of the school year
and return them to the CEU Coop for a monetary reimbursement during the early portion of
June. Smith pointed out that at
the end of each • school year,
the costs of doing business are
evaluated by the Board of Directors of the bookstore, and
money which is not needed for
business expenses is returned
to the student or faculty member.
Smith said that the Board of
Directors consists of three faculty and six student members,
who serve three and two year
terms respectively.
He stated that the faculty members of the board of directors
are chosen by the University
President, two of the six student members are elected student body officers of am, and
the four remaining students are
chosen by the incumbent student
members from the preceding school year. He mentioned
that the board of directors have
