The three--German language. instructor Karla Schultz, Mechanics Department Counselor Dave Roof and Industrial Technology Instructor John Phillips, (all are members of the Academic Council) have proposed to replace the D, F and NP symbols-presently a.. part of LCC grading procedure-with an "N" standing for "No credit for unsatisfactory performance." The '' N'' grade would not be computed in the grade point average (GPA). Ms. Schultz said that the ad-hoc Committee presented a rough draft of the proposal at the Dec. 4 Academic Council meeting. The Council accepted the proposal for a public feedback study and asked the Committee to proceed with the questionnaires and hearings. Opinion poll sheets are being distributed to a number of LCC students and all full-time faculty. If enough positive feedback is returned then further 1 steps would be taken toward implementation of a modified grading policy in Fall Term 1973. A change in administrative rule would be necessary before this new grading system could go into effect, according to Ms. Schultz. The r ational e of the new proposal acc ording to the committee is as follows: • To establish a higher standard of accepted performance by replacing the D grade with the symbol N. (The D grade, as stated in the College Catalog, indicates barely passing work, i.eo, substandard performance). • To eliminate punitive aspects of the present grading policy ·by replacing the F grade with the symbol N. (The F grade affects the overall student's work through computation in his grade point average) . . •To provide a single symbol, N, to indicate unsatisfactory'performance. (The NP symbol would be use~ only for the pass/no pass option). •To provide an instructor-initiated symbol, Y, indicating no basis for grade, which would correspond to the student-initiated W, indicating withdrawal. • To base the probation procedure on the student's non-pr_og~ess in his work, i.e., the symbols N, Y, W would md1cate non-progress. Ms. Schultz said the opinion polls will be distributed through the Student Senate, :ctepartment chairpersons, and instructors. Open hearings on the proposed modification of the grading policy will be held in the fac ulty lounge today from noon to 1 p.m., and tomorrow from 11 a. m. to noon, and 2 to 3 p.m. The members of the ad-hoc committe for the modification of the gr ading policy will be present to answer questions and listen to comments. Group bans endorsement The G;PIRG (Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group) state board meeting at LCC Sunday, resulted in several resolutions, including one that forbids the organization from endorsing products or services.

C6PIRG State Director Steve McCarthy cited a net loss of positive accomplishments as a result of working with high schools, and a need for a definite policy in dealing with the problem. But the motion passed. The problems of unfavorable publicity as a result of policy decisions and lack of communication between local campuses and the state office permeated nearl v all of the discussion on the motions·. State Director McCarthy presented a number of other topics, including tentative plans to make funding of OSPIRG more independent of the State Board of Higher • Education, and an explanation of projects and project guidelines. Further discussion was he 1ct concerning funding on the local campus level. Fall Term LCC students paid $430 to OSPIRG on a volunteer basis. Totals for Winter Term have not been computed yet.

Also accepted was Vinyard's proposal to establish a 72-hour dead line for items to be placed on the agenda so that all members of the Senate may have a copy of the agenda 48 hours before each scheduled meeting. ~enate n:iember s have scheduled a workshop to plan for the coming special elect10n when the ASLCC Constitution will go befor e the student s in a second attempt for ratification. The workshop will be hel d at Heceta House from Jan. 26 to 28. The Senate meeting was an hour late in starting due to a quorum challenge made by Russel Ooms, freshman senator from Industrial Technology. The challenge was initially attempted by Richard Marshall club represent~tive from Phi Theta Kappa, but Marshall's right to chaiienge was quest10ned by ASLCC Senator-at-Large Steve Leppanen since Marshall has not yet been officially recognized by the Senate as a club representative. Ooms then stood and made the challenge. Later he told the TORCH he was just "bored with all the gobble-de-gook"occurring in the meeting-. After an hour recess called by Second Vice-President Ken Walker there was still no quorum present, but no one challenged the meeting.

I did, my whole car, not a part or a piece, but the whole damn thing was stolen. Not from Lane Community College. The car was parked at Mahlon Sweet Airport for thirty-eight days. (Even in the movies the play-police check the airports.) I recovered my car, but not with the help of the REAL police. Yes, be sure to call the real police when you want your property recovered, no matter how large or small the stolen property. Jean Cumby l How do you feel? I What shouldldoabouttheLondon Flu? I've heard a lot about it and a friend of mine just got very sick and I'm sure I'll get it too. Should I get a flu shot? This is a question the LCC Health Services hears often lately. Following is their answer: Flu shots are usually only effective if given at the start of the flu season--in early fall. This is because one's body needs timetodevelop antibodies. Flu symptoms are fever chills headache, muscle ache' sinu~ drainage, sore throat and c~ughing. There is no treatment for flu-antibiotics don't affect viruses. If you get the flu, get plenty of bed rest while you feel bad and for a day after the fever breaks. Make sure you drink at leastthree quarts of fluid~ a day--tea is good for the throat. Inhale steam, to help clear the nasal passages and lungs. A doctor should be seen (one is available from 8 a.m. to noon daily in Health Services) if a fever, cough or increased filling of the lungs persist. When you have the flu you should .stay home.

But the new measures, in turn, have alarmed civil rights lawyers who fear many innocent soldiers may be caught in the antidrug dragnet. We have uncovered one document, for instance, which was issued last month by Gen. Anthony Daskevich in Stuttgart, Germany. He recommended that commanders de v elop informers and reward them for information. The general also suggested • volunteer undercover patrols to be established to follow up on the informers' tips. "Cars entering the post will be checked and searched at random ... . Volunteers will search buildings ... stem to stern,'' wrote Gener al Daskevich. The general urged his unit commanders to conduct frequent shakedown inspections and to bust pushers and users to the lowest rank as soon as evidence is available. To handle known drug users, the general recommended the removal of the suspect's pass privileges, his driver's license, his civilian clothes, even the key to his room. If the suspect is married, wrote Daskevich, "he should be required to move into the barracks where he can be watched." Such measures, the general insists, pose no threat to innocent soldiers. But civil liberties lawyers charge that innocent soldiers have already been hurt by some of the extreme methods used to catch the guilty. Double Dippers For years, we have criticized retired officers for double dipping from the federal treasury. The practice began nearly a decade ago when Congress passed the Dual C~mpensat10n Act. Thanks to this law, more than 78,000 retired military personnel today collect part of their pension and draw ~ivil service pay at the same time. Double dipping has helped create a military spoils system, which encourages rigged recruitment, preferential treatment, unfair hiring and promotional practices. Retired militarymen frequently alert friends about to retire of job openings in the federal government. In some cases, jobs have been held open for months awaiting the retirement of ranking military officers. In other instances, new jobs have been created solely to fit the needs of retiring officers. •, But am O ng the w O rs t abusers of the law are some 70 flag officers now working in the civilian government. Some of them collect more than $50,000 a year from their combined military retirement and civil ian pay. ;t~~ ;.-_.: ~;~~ ~~~ i;~t • 4.:i.- . ~---- • ...... 5 . r· ., •• • • deal we have come across involves retired four-star Air Force Gen.

With $17,000 a year in retirement benefits, Graham would become the most lucrative double-dipper in the country if h_e accepted his full salary. Graham tells us that's a distinction he can do without. Behind the Scenes IS HANOI HOPEFUL? - • North Vietnam,, s master negotiator, Le Due Tho, has been surprisingly moderate in his private conversations in Paris. He has echoed Henry Kissinger's October statements that a cease-fire agreement is attainable and that on 1y a few r em a i n i n g problems need to be ironed out. This is opposite to the attitude he was expected to take . A secret intelligence analysis had suggested that he would be grim and uncompromising as a reflection of Hanoi 's anger over th e bombing. Nevertheless, the intelligence reports from Paris say Le Due Tho has been the model of reasonableness in his private conversation s with diplomats. THE WRONG 'THING' - It now appears that'the famous underworld informer Jo e Valachi never meant to say ;;cosa ~os~~~·" whic~ _means our thmg, m _descnbm_g the underworld crime syndicate. We recently saw the old FBI records of Valachi's initial interrogations. What Valachi repeated throughout the questioning was the phrase "Causa Nostra," which means "our cause."

Ms. Bennett st ate ct, '' The course 1 s objective will be to provide the student with a history of film from the early 1900' s up to present day. The scope will be international: the students will view major films by major directors around the world. Another major objective of the Film Study course is to provide each student with a critical method for evaluating films. 11 Ms. Bennett said many college level students now attending LCC have grown-up in theworldoftelevision. Their source of amusement has been vis u a 1. "They are ' watchers/ 'listeners': Curious eyes with the picture before them. The bulk of their experience has been visual. "Our present literature curriculum ignores their experiences and tries to pull them into ours (pre-television).'' Ms. Bennett continued, "It's not that I feel any doubt towards the validity of the book experience, but for some students, I do doubt its effectiveness. We do reach most but lose more than we like. This proposed course would be a step in a positive direction.'' Ms. Bennett thinks film study might interest students into taking literature. By entering "art study'' through an experience he/she is already familiar with, the student may be better prepared to appreciate literature study. Associate Dean of Instruction Gerald Rasmussen said, "In view of declining enrollment, the school's policy in regards to new proposed classes is fairly tight.

According to Ms. Bennett last fall, 250 questionnaires about the proposed course were filled out by LCC students. Ninety-six per cent indicated that they felt this course was needed, seventy-five per cent indicated that they would enroll in the course if it were offered. Lane's proposed course is not new 0 In a current count made by interested students and staff there were 437 colleges and universities offering 2,397 film courses. At the U of 0, which receives many Lane transfer students, two film study courses are offered, including a lower division film class. The proposed Lane course wouldparallel this section. Materials needed for BRING future The financial status of BRING (Begin Recycling In Natural Groups) plays a major role in what new materials may be recycled or reused stated Peter Thurston, BRING director. ' I~ order to expand its services, Thurston says, BRING will need to raise more money and attract new volunteers. More than half of the wor~ done ~t BRING is performed by volunteers, although the nonprofit organization employs six part-time workers, and although it is currently financially "solvent" these topics will be discussed at this Thursday's meeting of the local recycling group 0 "Some people have been working at BRING for more than two years, and in some cases they're beginning to get burned out" Thurston said. "This is a time for reju,venation, we'd like to see· new people come in and .volunteer, and possibly take on new proiects." Through its warehouse on Franklin Boulevard near the LCC campus, BRING presently recycles or reuses refillable glass containe~s, crushable glass containers, tin cans, aluminum cans and alummum products, egg cartons, and high grade ledger paper. New ~aterials that might be processed at BRING, according to Thurston, mclude magazines, plastic products and light bulbs. ·' We have about as much money now as we did last year, ' 1 he noted. ;'We're not in debt, but we're at rock bottom/' Two potential sources of new funds will be discussed at the annual I~eeting. "We've had an offer to work witha private industry that would hke to recycle large bulk quantities of solid wastes generated in the Eugene-Springfield area," Thurston said. "We' re also trying to get a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency." BRING presently receives financial support from the sale of recycled materials, from private donations·, and from the county government. In order to incr_ease the amount of materials recycled, BRING operates a monthly "BRING-Mobile" pickup at six locations in the Eugene areaincooperationwi thalocalNationalGua rd unit and sponsors a weekly pick-up at the Growers Market, located at Willamette and Fourth streets. :::tt ;! • Chu F :r~~tk~~e~~l'l ;.~~ at the Central Pre sbyte ri an 1,11111 111111 111111 111111 111111 111111 111111 111111 5 = = -.- -~'5 • ~------· = = ,----, -= -N • I ,,, = I ~,, = 5Cfoi;i-fh; enate, i _aid tJie~piderto tJie -- • • •• - .• - • • • )._~--_ ,uid you kn;:,~ there are 15 '~ . vacancies in the \ StuJent Senate?,' • • ......... ~'"./(._~~ ~-,"'l'! 09 '19 ,. m_ m_ore ~........ - -• ~-----~-__.............. intereste d in , , , the open hearing/- --"\ on the newly revised{ t;,onstitu tion. - - - - - - - - --- • (Jates to lbe announc ed) • 111111 111111 111111 111111 111111 111111 111111 111111 1 ! e <tllyesse , Page 4 TORCH Jan. 16, 1973 I The Humum Enviromn enlt Vegetarians request Last month OSPIRG released the results of surveys by over 50 Oregon students showing that Oregon's toy shelves are still stocked with many dangerous playthings.

Although pressed wood will also work--and costs less--there is the danger of this type of processed material 11 chipping." Wood can be made to look like a chessboard by just ruling the squares and painting the dark ones. When drawing in the squares, remember that the average sized set needs a square of at least 1 7/8 inches. The larger set needs a correspondingly larger square. Also, as a word of caution square. Also, as a word of caution: A chessboard is "legal" only when there is a light-colored square in the right-hand corner. For those like me, who have shaky hands and a fear of the straight line, there's a better way than ruler and paint brush--bookbinding tape! This great invention can be criss-crossed to form the dark squares, and it comes in many colors. Since it is available in varying widths, this makes it possible to construct a board that that has been specifically designed for one's own pieces. Those who have woodworking skills and tools can also have the challenge (and reward) of an inlaid wood board. It is beautiful, warm, and presents only the problem of getting lost in its executed excellence, instead of concentrating on J~e game (That's a pleas- utte ant excuse, anyway.). If one has pushbuttonitis, I might suggest using masking tape to block off the light squares. Then, get out a can of that most delectible spray paint and have-at-it. The results of this technique are truly amazing. Don't, however, try to do this with liquid paint and brush unless you've had experience. There is nothing more frustrating than having the paint bleed under the tape. The easy part comes after cne squares are delineated. •Adding several coats of varnish and shellac will produce a durable, easy-toclean, nice-looking board. The protecting coating is essential when bookbinding tape is used, because it helps to smooth out the board by filling up the drop, or crack, formed when the tape was put on top of the wood.

John Early, the producer of the Learning Resource Center's (LRC) instructional tapes, is attempting to go beyond simply recreating a lecture situation: He tries to enhance rather than merely reinforce the student's learning. Recently the LRC did three days of taping for the Social Science Department featuring students at• Lane through the New Gate tendmg and Work-Release programs developed ~hrough the state penitentary m Salem. The students talked about their problems in relating to other students. Early said he hoped the tapes would be of use to -students who are unsure of how to relate to those coming to LCC from prisons, and to prisoners unsure. of the probtems . they face in adjusting to the college community.

Early said this service can be especially helpful to students with speech or similar problems--they can tape themselves, and then watch themselves on tape. Several other program ideas are under consideration and in planning stages. One possibility, said Early, is a plan to travel to Salem each week and tape the Oregon legislature in action. Another is a lecture series en- titled 14 Life, Health • and You.'' In the Law Enforcement Program a tape is being planned about new methods of pistol firing. And taping has already started on the LCC home basketball games, so that by the end of the season there will be a complete file for student use. One large program series currently being planned in cooperation with the Adult -Education Department would teach hand signals to deaf students. ;j/ I ____ ,... ·ART and ARCHITEC TURE SU .P PLIES STUDENT/FACULTY D~COUNTS Page 5 TORCH Jan. 16, 1973 i························· ·················-······-· ·························· ··· I IF YOUR CASSETTE JUST CAN'T MAKE IT - I OURS WILL •I -I 0 \_ \ ,J 0 •;\ ,,,\, ,....,·_ .,,5 0 I I .

Services $34,117 Analysis 62C by Ole Hoskinson The ASLCC Senate is experiencing problems in collecting their projected budget of $106,000 for the 1972-73 school year. In order to collect that sum:, the Senate must collect $35,433 every term. According to Fall Term figures the Senate only collected $34,117. And, according to college statistics, enrollment is down Winter Term which will probably cause a further loss for Winter Term. Above,i both actual and projected expenditures are listed. The projected expenditures (shaded) were what the Senate planned to spend on thoije items at the beginning of Fall Term and the other· figures are what was actually spent. Student Puplications (TORCH, Titan code book, Senate Publications) show a ·larger amount than was actually funded because of an early payment. For example, the Senate funds the TORCH at $3,400 a year (the majority of TORCH revenue is obtained from advertising ) which is paid in three payments. Because the Senate made the Fall Term pay_ment at the beginning -of Fall Term and the Winter Term Payment at the end of Fall Term, both totals are shown. So, for Winter Term the only expenditure for publications should be the Titan Code Book (if published) or other publications of the Senate. Medical Services ran lower than originally budgeted because their services did not begin until midFall Term. More was spent on $alaries and Tuitions than was budgeted, even though not all tuition-paid positions were filled. The only justification the TORCH was able to find for this increased expenditure is that more positions were filled during Summer Term than was planned. $1.09 Athletics Salaries & Tuitions . Contingency Numbers in oc area are the budgeted amount of the $5 ASLCC fee. The number in the white area is what was actually spent of your fall term $5 student body fee as of December 31, 1972. For the last three years, volunteer zoology students have trudged through rain, sleet, or snow to a bird-banding sight above the southeast LCC parking lot. Floyd Weitzel of the Science Department : is the commander coordinator of the bird-banding project. Weitzel and his zoology students attempt to weigh, measure, and band any birds that are captured in their nets. "Generally, we are trying to determine if individual species use the same area each day and if they migrate to the same area each year," Weitzel said. "The trapped birds are small, no larger than Blue Jays,'' said Weitzel. Large mesh nets sixty feet long and twelve feet high are used to catch the birds. The nets are used only on Friday mornings for a period of three to four hours and when in use they are nearly invisible and a bird will fly into them unexpectantly, and entangle itself in the fine netting. "We check the nets every five to ten minutes and retrieve the birds in the nets. The birds are completely un-. harmed," commented Weitzel. According to Weitzel once the birds are retieved from the nets the students weigh the birds, measure the wing lengths, and place a numbered US Fisb and Wildlife Service band on one leg. Then they are released. "Vandalism has been a continuing problem," Weitzel said. "We have found our nets cut, torn, and even shot up with shotguns. It has forced us to take the nets out of the field and set them up each Friday. We used to just fold them up in the field, but with the continued vandalism we are forced to bring them in, which takes considerable time from our project." Two scholarships were awarded last year to Steve Kirkpatrick and Jack Voris from the Eugene Natural History Society Scholarship fund for their work in the bird-banding project. Weitzel has asked for two individual scholarships for students this year. The banding project started in 1970. Since then, the project has banded 150 separate birds. Slightly more than 100 of these birds were Oregon Juncos. (At press time it was uncertain whether the bird banding project would be offered in the future. Weitzel reportedly cancelled the program for zoology students because of pressures to admit women to the project. The TORCH will give a full report in the next issue.)

Two controversial issues that will appear early this year before the legislature are Senate bill No. 27--dealing with age of majority--and the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution. Bill No. 27 on the age of majority is being held up in committee after evidence provided by statistics from Michigan which showed Michigan's arrests of drivers under the influence rose 87 per cent. During the first year the age of majority was 18. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) might see rough weather in the Oregon Legislature. The amendment, if ratified by 38 states, will become the 27th amendment to the US Constitution. Thus far, ratification has been received from 22 states. Opponents to the amendment have been vocal on this issue. The main reasons for opposing the bill amounted to fear that women would now be eligible for the induction to the armed service as draftees. Rape would not be classified as a crirqe and one sex bathrooms would be eliminated. Margie Cundy of the Lane County chapter of the Oregon Women's Political Caucus explained that this anti-ERA material that is being spread through Oregon is unfactual, alarming, and unfound. The Equal Rights Amendment, if added to the US Constitution, would grant women equal rights not to be abridged by state or federal government in cases of discrimination. Bills endorsing the ERA have been introduced in the Oregon Senate by Betty Browne, Dem. Oakridge and Nancy Fadeley, Dem. Eugene. Anti-war bill sees revival. ..

Stude nt activ ist does more than comp lain Some people do nothing and complain about everything. Others see everything and do something. Jack Hart, ex-ASLCC publicity director and present (and past) student activist, is one of those people in the latter group. Therefore, when Jack announced his resignation from the Senate last week as publicity director it seemed totally out of character. Jack usually becomes involved- he doesn't quit. But, he explained, he has another idea that he feels will benefit LCC students more, and also, he further explained, he dislikes the concept of publicity. The concept of publicity he said, "implies the same connotation as a used car salesman. "I don't think the students of this college need publicity as much as some form of communication so they can make their needs and desires known to the proper places so they can have the type of education they want," stated Jack. "The only real communication that exists here on campus," says Jack, "is a downward type of communication that is generally in the form of orders. The students have very little input into the policy-making machinery." Jack would like to see a change in this situation. "I'd like to see students being able to have a say in the type of instruction they have, the hiring and firing procedure, classroom size, textbook materials, etc," he explained. He sees this as being possible only if students "organize and reform some kind of affinity group... some kind of negotiation group with direct negotiation power with the Board of Educatioa and the Administration. • '' I believe if this is possible, if we can establish a student rights negotiation committee then it would be the job of the committee to represent the students' needs directly to the Board of Education in a civil manner as the SPPC (Staff/Personnel Policy Committee) does for the staff and faculty now." Jack expressed the need for a Students' Rights Representative who could '' start the machinery going for the establishment of such a Students Rights Negotiation Committee. He has submitted two proposals, one of which is to hire a full-time, paid representative who would work 40 hours a week, and the second proposal to provide a tuition grant so that a student could fill the job part-time. Jack stated that he would like to apply for the job of student representative himself.

There is no charge and the public is welcome. political backing by college presses (CPS)--A new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ruling states that student newspapers which receive financial aid from a university can endorse political candidates without endangering the school's tax-exempt status. A.n IRS spokesperson said that the ruling (IRS Rev. Ru. 72-513) also applies to financially independent college newspapers. The IRS notified the "Columbia Spectator' ' in September 1970 that its tax-exempt status would be revoked if the newspaper continued to endorse political candidates and take strong stands on political issues. It then dropped the charge without explanation ~n Mav 1971. When questioned by the "Spectator," an IRS spokesperson said that the new ruling didn't arise from any specific case, but from "something that should have been clarified." The old ruling states that tax-exempt ·organizations may not devote any "substantial part of (their) activities" to legislative or political purposes. The revised ruling reads, "the process of gathering news, doing research, analyzing data, writing, and editing material for the newspaper on any subject (including political and legislative matters) furthers the education of students on the n_ewpaper by improving their knowledge and skills."

He said he hopes that many people would apply so that the student body could have a large selection and then choose the best person for the job. He expressed his belief that a person wanting the job should have been in the student body for enough time that he/ she has a good working knowledge of the machinery of the administration and the types of avenues open to exercise . students rights. "The qualifications ... should be the ability to communicate with personnel at all levels of the campus, and understanding of the campus, and a real concern for the needs of students.'' Jack stressed the fact that the job of student representative should be a temporary job, as later the negotiation committee itself would be all that would be needed. Jack concerns himself with student needs in various ways, and has shown his concern by becoming involved. He has been involved in the controversy of the welding program, and was head of a children's park project initiated by five LCC students--the Flying Frog Project (FFP) in Florence. Jack described the Florence Park project experience as "what I feel the educational emphasis should be at LCC. I think the work 'community' is fast slipping out of Lane Community College if it hasn't •disappeared · altogether. I think we need to return to the community and start supplying the type of training that the community needs." • Jack continues to become involved, as in the case of one of the last Student Senate meetings when he spoke on his belief that if a student must drop out of school during the first two weeks of a term, he should be allowed the full return of his money. Jack Hart will, no doubt, continue to be outspoken and involved.

Gymnastic outlook "not too bright" by Lex SahonchikThe 1973 LCC Gymnastic team starts a season of six meets Thursday night in Portland at Portland Community College. According to Gymnastic Coach George Gyorgyfalvy ,the season outlook is "not too bright.'' Inexperienced gymnasts and the fact that practices did not start until January 2 due toGyorgyfalvy's commitment to the Lane soccer team,(which finished a late season) are blamed for the poor outlook. • Not one of the gymnasts from last year's team will return to compete this year necessitating a complete rebuilding job for Coach Gyorgyfalvy. That task is difficult enough without considering the fact that most quality gymnasts pass up LCC for a school that will give them financial assistance and perhaps public recognition. George will especially miss one of his better gymnasts from last year, Jerry Valentine, who has graduated. "We must train our own and build our team," says Gyorgyfalvy, "we've done this every year and it seems that this year we won't have a good year again."
