Chly a few changes have been made to the documents since the last election but the changes are monumental. Th~ TORCH editorially opposed the documents that were presented to the students last November bt1cause they allowed the Student Senate, upon a two-thirds vote of that body, the right to amend the By-laws. We pointed out that embodied within the By-laws was the right of initiative, recall and referendum-the only muscle a student has if he doesn't feel he is getting proper representation from the Senate. The documents failed to get the approval they needed for ratification causing them to be sent back to the Senate for further modification. Since th at tim~ the Senate removed initiative, recall and referendum from the By-laws and placed them with the Constitution. Amtmdments to the Constitutio:i require approval by the student body. Although the Senate would still have the authority to change the By-Laws, we feel the inform1tion contained in that document pertains only to Senate action and would not affect the rights of students. Therefore, we reco~mend passage of these documents. Although the proposed documents prob'il.bly d-;> no~ give students any more rights (or any less) than what they have through the present doc um :mts, the proposed documents more clearly define a student's rights . The proposed documents also esta'Jlish a..1 election commission. It is badly need•3d, Elections at LCC have been notorious for their absurdity. (In Novem'J.3r's election one student voted three times to prove that it could be done). Such a commission might be able to establish better coordinated elections. The proposals also stipulate that a proxy shall not be part of a quorum (50 per cent plus one of the total Sen.ate membership). Last year numerc»,1s motio:'.ls were passed by a handful of Setu"ors armed with a bask~tfull of proxies. In a guest editorial on this page the writers suggest that one of the mc'.jor inadequacies of the prop:>sed docum,ents is ren!tmt1ration for Student Body Officers.~ But. it's interesting to n,Jte that renu-:rrnration has already been given to the Senate by the LCC Board of Education for this school year. Tl'U•~, but this could b3 changed, as co:Jld rny other part of the Constitutio~ or By-laws that stud,?nts find disagreeable, under Article XV of the proposed Coastitution which deals with recall and refere~dum,(Students also have the same power under Article XV of the present B?--laws). Both the proposed Constitution and By-Laws can be reviewed at information tables in the cafeteria. Letters to the Editor The Inna.cent Bystander Against by Linda Moore and Charlie Ak-ers The students of LCC will soon be held responsible for voting against (or for) ratification of the proposed ASLCC Constitution. Since this issue has not been fully presented to Lane students, I would like to review the proposed changes in the Constitution and their implications. The Institutional Bill of Rights for LCC which is " •••. utilized as the guiding Board policy institutional rights document," states under Section 18: The student government shall -be considered as the embodiment of student representation separate from the College administration and not a department of the Board of Education of LCC or any of its legal representatives." I question whether tbe Senate, as it now stands, is the "embodiment of student representation." The inconsistencies are many 5 and serve only to weaken" •. the rights and responsibilities of students to fellow students •.. " (ASLCC Constitution, Article Ill). The most interesting change in the proposed Constitution is, I feel, the addition of Section 4.0 of Article III. If ratified by the students it will read: Renumeration for the Student Body Officers will be outlined in the By-Laws.

They found this issue an important one to attack in order to achieve that goal." As it turned out however, the Senate voted in favor of sending Bolton, and allocated $385 for the trip's expenses (TORCH Jan. 30). But there were three factors that led to Bolton's not journeying to Indiana for the convention. First, Bolton explained that scheduling transportation made it impossible to arrive at the convention on Thursday, the opening day of the convention. '' In order to get to the convention at Indiana State University I would have had to spend six hours in the air traveling, 18 hours in lay overs and drive a rented car for two hours. I would have traveled for 26 hours, ar- Bowing to pressures from some ASLCC Senators, transportation problems and worry of future problems, ASLCC President Jay Bolton decided not to attend the Third World Student Association convention in Indiana last week. Several Student Senators and some students had complained that student money should not be spent to send a delegate to a convention that was to be attended by non-Whites only, and accused Bolton of racist actions. Bolton feels that students were misinformed and did not realize fully what the Third World meant. Bolton said " that when people on ·campus heard that no White people would be involved, it implied racism." . Bolton saw the move to stop him from attending as a move by'' young aspiring senators to make a nam•~ rived a day and a half late, and would probably be so tired that I would have needed rest and possibly missed more of the convention. It did not seem worth it to me," Bolton said. Also Bolton did not think the controversy raised by his proposal to attend was healthy for the campus and would lead to future problems. Some Senators, according to B'Jlton, were misinformed· about the functions of the Third World Student Association and acted hastily on the subject but "I feel the participation level in the Senate has increased and that in itself is rewarding." Third, Bolton decided to bend to the wishes of some Senators in the Senate and not attend the Indiana convention because all students were not to be represented at this convention. According to Bolton he had a deep concern in attending this convention. At a National Student Association (NSA) Convention in 1971, held in Colorado, Bolton chaired the Third World Coalition. It was from this meeting that the Third World Student Association developed - • Bolton was one of the founders , Bolton felt by attending the Third World Convention he would have become a more informed student leader. In 1971 only 35 Third World students attended the NSA meetingo According to Bolton, 20 were Blacks and five were Chicanoso The rest were foreign studentso Of the convention in Indiana, Bolton said, " over 1,000 people attended and attending that convention would have been beneficial to me as a Black man and beneficial to the campus through mt1 as a student leader." ,-.---------=---:--;---------- ---- · St a ff 9 r Ou P s • • • (Continued from page 1) Ted R)moser said his group will have to broad•:!n to include classified staff, but he doesn't see any problem. Romoser said the formation Jf th,~ group 11 is not something that just happened last week but ra•ther something that has bean in the talking stage for the last tw:.> years. Last year the Staff Association and the Staff Personnel Policies Committee (SPPC) changed the way they work witfi the Board, and I think people on the staff felt we should take a look at how that was going to work. " Romoser said he did not feel that the Staff Association and the SPPC has been ineffective, but added '' I think more people are ,beginning to su spect that just worki ng on a local l evel isn' t going to be enough to meet the demand,' I Romoser said he "can see some pr obl ems'' in havi ng two groups representing the staff and f ac u 1 t y at L CC but expl ained, " There are some st aff that will not join the AFT and thare ar e some that will not join the NF A. , I don' t think all of the car ds ar e on the tabl e for either of the groups.'' He said presently it wo:ild be difficult to deter mine which gr oup will be the most effective and by establishing two groups the fac uHy and staff would have an opportunity to see what type of ser vi ces the two organizat ions offer. But, he said, " This won' t happan until we h av e both orgn ~.zations established with local m1~rnh,3r shipso In the l ong run, the two could merge, or the staff members might indicate in large mrnt ,ers that they prefer one over the other.' ' When asked if salary was the big issue Rose commented, "N,), in the past, all the Board ilas talked about is salary and we want to be able to negotiate other issues. We want more authority to control our own destinies within an education atmosphere, such as class size, or electing department heads, just to mention a few. This union (AFT) has the potential to do this. '' Rose continued, '' Thi~ key issue as I see it is that on this campus the teacher ' s considerations are being consider ed l ess, and the decisions are being made on how cheapl y things can be done on a financial basis.1 ' Rose sees this as ''endan.sering the quality_of education. " He lis~ed the part - time summ ti~ school mstructor' s salary as one example. ' ' The Administratio, is propo- sing to pay a low, flat-rate, although they say they want to make the summer school a regular fourth term. What this means is a part of the regular faculty that normally would teach, will not because of the reduction in pay. '' The attitude of the Board d·3ring negotiations is 'We really don't care, there· are plenty of people to take your place or jobs,. and you are lucky to get what you get!' At this point the Board and Adm in is tr at ion have absolute • pow~r. They can do anything they damn well please; we have no power at all." "The only thing we have to rely on is their goodwill. This is the main reason we have begun to form a union," concluded Rose.

Those participating in the ceremony will be able to sit with friends and family during the first portion of the event, according to Jack Powell, committee chairman, but each graduate will receive individual recognition when awarded his/her diploma or certificate. Powell said, however, "there will be no attempt to march in or out,'' but rather the mood will be kept as informal as possible---no caps or gowns will be worn. Traditional welcoming speeches from the }?resi- dent of LCC, the ASLCC President and the Chairman of the Board of Education are planned. In addition, there will be a guest speaker present, hopefully, Senator Mark Hatfield will accept the invitation, said Powell. The theme of the commencement this year will be "The Impossible Dream." It will be followed throughout the entire day's activities. Powell stated that many people considered education beyond high school level and graduation from college an impossible dream. However, with the coming of the community college, people's views have changed. "Therefore, in a sense, this has been an impossible dream to them," said Powell. Tickets available STU.

Ms. Sanderson said everyone should plan additional expenses for two meals, lunch on the way and dinner on the return trip. For further information contact the Language Arts Department Surrealistic Surroundings A one-woman show by local artist Sandra McKee is on display in the art gallery at Lane Community College. The show, comprised of large oils of human figures in surrealistic surroundings will remain in the gallery until March 2. Ms. McKee, 26, studied ballet, modern and jazz dance on the East Coast until she was 15 when she moved to San Francisco and began her art career. Since then she has had two one-woman shows at the University of Montana. Both shows were in 1972. Gallery hours_are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. The gallery is located in the LCC art building on the east side of the campus.

Blitz-Weinhard Company, Portland, Oregon. Feb. 20, 1973, TORCH, Page 5 Many classes to be offered at Free University Nearly 45 courses will be offered in the coming Winter- Spring Semester at the Lane County Free University. "People don't come here anymore to discuss literature, politics or philosophy. They come in hopes of arriving at some truth about what's happening .... w ho we we are and what we do,'' said Cynthia Wooten, director of the Lane County Free University. According to Bill Wooten, past director of the Free University, the school started as a counter option to the rigid, highly structured schools in the area. Wooten said many people were dissatisfied with Eugene ' s schools-Elementary through High Education. In July of 1969, Wooten said the school offered 60 courses taught by local people on a relaxed but informative basis. Ms. Wooten sees a trend in education---a way from the politically informative and involved, toward the simple and practical knowledge. "People want to sort-out their own lives, making them as clear and simple and practical as possible," she explained. Nearly 45 courses proposed for the coming semester , she said, reflects this movement, with the greatest percentage of courses centering on crafts and skills. Course offerings include welding, woodworking, canning, folk arts, sculpture, drawing, weaving, spinning, and dyeing, photography, dancing, Spanish, people's law, houseplants, Hatha Yoga, Tai Chi, and a study of the current session of the Oregon Legislature. The new semester, which begins Feb.26, will see some changes in the structure of the Free University. For the first time, said Ms. Wooten, some instructors will charge minimal fees for their services. This charge will be in addition to the existing membership fee of $3.50 (which allows students to enroll in any or all classes, and which entitles them to discounts on various community activities). Since one of the primary goals fo the Free University is to "dev e 1 op a local alte'fnative economy," said Ms. Wooten, instructors should be compensated ''for their skill, their time and their art." She stressed independence as another goal, remarking that the current dis-interest in intellectual discussion and involvement cuts down on the public exchange of irleas and beliefs. . Related activities sponsored by the Free University will include a concert featuring Rosalie Sorrels, who Ms. Wooten calls a"country, folksy singer" better known in the East and in California, and John Adams, who, she adds, "plays fancy, talks fast, and sings real good." The concert will be on Saturday in the Recital Hall of the U of O School of Music at 8 p.m. The Free University Winter/ Spring catalogue will be available locally Monday. Some classes will begin the week of Feb. 26; others, the week of Mar.5. Most classes will continue until the first part of June. The Free University is located at 25 W.7th Ave.,Eugene; phone 686-1610.

SATURDAY-February 24 12:00 "The Deep Six'' 6:30 High School Sports ;.:-~ 1:00 "The Naked and the Deacl" (TV Testing Repeat) 6:00 Science Game ·-~ by Jack· Baughman Western science attempts to understand the universe through interpretations by the outer--or physical senses (sight, sound, olfaction, taste, and skin senses) sent to the brain. Realizing the fallibility of these organs (partial imput, tendency to distort) additional tools (statistics, experimental procedures) are incorporated in an attempt to get more accurate information. Occult science attempts to understand the universe through development and usage of the inner-or psychic senses (clairvoyance, telepathy, astral projection, etc.) Any serious investigator into the psychic realm will be rewarded with the knowledge that he is possessed with a wide array of inner senses which, when developed and combined with the outer senses, begin to give him a broader'understanding of and deeper affinity with the consciousness of the cosmos of which he is part. To seriously investigate the psychic realm one must leave behind, for the moment, all previously held concepts as to the nature and limits of reality based on modern physical science. It is one thing to intellectualize nonbiasness--but quite another to experience it. Here one reaches the neutral zone where all incoming information is capable of reaching the rational mind without being altered (rationalization) or shut out altogether (denial of reality). While in the neutral zone one realizes that according to some (e.g. occultists, mystics, Buddists, Hindus, theosophists, etc.), although terminology varies psychic phenomena is not only a reality but explainable. They go on to tell us that developed 'seers and clairvoyants have waking conscious realization of a totally different plane of perception. It might be called the fourth dimension. One of the more frequent names is the astral plane. The astral plane is but one of many planes as different from each other as it is from the physical plane, say the seers. As human evolution continues to unfold, increasing numbers of individuals are experiencing psychic insights. Any individual can develop these latent potentialities within himself. Many people are currently doing so both consciously and unconsciously. We don't have to worry about equality on the psychic planes as we are told that we all have the same potential. It's an individual's own choosing if these facilities stay dormant. Verbal descriptions of astral experiences are always imperfect as they must be translated into physical language. The only real way to understand them is through experience. One approximation describes an atmosphere of highly vibrant colors, geometrically configured yet fluid and constantly moving about. The entire astral world is interpenatrated with this luminescent ether. This ether is attracted to various life forms much in the same way as metal filings are attracted to a magnet. As this ether attracts itself around people it forms into what is called the human aura. Auric vision comes easy for some and takes a good deal of work (concentration, meditation) for others. Anyone with normal vision can readily see it under special lighting conditions. We hear a lot of talk about "vibrations" these days. Feeling vibrations is the psychic sensation of the various alignments of these "particles" of ether. According to this view, the added information aids tremendously in communication as it becomes less verbal and more direct. One begins to "feel" the intent of the communication before verbal words are registered in the brain. The astral world is not in some distant place as some believe. Rather it is said to com(Continued on page 8) Cliff Robertson, Aldo Ray, Roymond Maney 6:30 "Son of Sinbad" 3:30 "Brigham Young" Jr. 12:30 11 Naked & The Dead" •ExPOncling Consiousness 3:00 Tilto The Clown lELEPRDfflPTER. 3:30 "Stage Struck" Henry Fonda, SUJan Strauberg, Christopher Plummer ~00~ 5:30 News Gallery Don't miss next week's exciting schedule on Cable TV.

Abell was born and reared in Southern California. As a child growing up in Los Angeles he could look out at distant mountain peaks through clear blue skies, he told the members ·of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Society conference held last weekend in Eugene. N ow , he said, the skies are clouded with smog. He said that the great, empty beaches he once knew are now overcowded. Abell said he felt those years of change in California could be compared to the sinking of the Titantic, and having lived in Oregon for 15 years, he said that he fears Oregon is taking the same course. Abell is spokesman,and president of the Jam3s G. Blaine Society, a group, he said, that hopes to discourage the overpopulation of Oregon. Abel 1 said that Oregon's population is expected to rise 25 to 40 per cent over the next ten years. He said that the limited natural resources of the state should be conserved for use by its residents. Abell wants to discourage tourists from traveling through Oregon. He said that a reliable survey taken in California showed onethird (seven million) of the state's residents want to leave that state-Oregon is their first preference. The Blaine Society is considering an adve_rtising campaign to dissuade people from coming to the state. The Blaine Society's idea is a born loser said Wyoming Travel Director Frank Norris. Norris speaking at the Summit II Conference on Travel held in Olympia, Wash., called the idea of discouraging tourism an overreaction by environmentalists. He said that it is an injustice to blame tourism for sharirrises in pollution. "Tourism is basically a clean industry," he added. Norris also said that Oregon's unofficial policy of discouraging heavy tourism may spread to other Western states, thus dampening the multi-million dollar travel industry. Norris said, "People go where they feel welcome." • Abell said that the Blaine Society does not want to offend prospective tourists and new residents; it just wants to alert them to the bad points of life in Oregon. The Blaine Society has just published a newsletter containing authenticated facts about Oregon. The newletter states, for instance, that the FBI has reprted that Portland's crime rate is higher than Chicago or Newark. It also warns people, who are considering a hike in Oregon woods, that 50 animal carriers of the bubonic plague have been located in the state. The paper notes that gonorrhea is Oregon's second most communicable disease, and that prospective residents with teenage children should be aware that 70 per Board. .

But, Abe 11 said, the most important asset Oregon has in discouraging tourists is its rainfall, The newsletter carries the slogan, ''Remember, you don'ttaninOregon-you rust." Abe 11 admitted that Blainists also spread false rumors and exaggerations to prospective visitors. He said he once told some friends in the East that th~ rainy climate of Western Oregon produces a skin rash, The rash, he said, is called the Tillamook Burn, and causes the flesh to have a red, spongy condition. Abell's favorite slogan is: "You can tell when its summer in Oregon; the rain gets warm.'' Abell said that his group may extend its campaign to billboards and national travel magazine advertisements. "Picture in your mind," he said, "a billboard near the CaliforniaOregon border, with nothing but a horizontal line and the words: 'Fl oodline, 1964.' " LCC \Yelcomes second FM -radio station LCC welcomes its second FM radio station, KLX. (89,3), broadcasting Monday through Thursday, 5 to 10 p.m, in the cafeteria. KL,X started broadcasting approximately one month ago when two broadcasting students Ken Lewetag and Mark Nodine, received final approval for their proposal from the Mass Com:nunications Department Chairwoman Virginia DeChaine. KLX, transmitted only in the cafeteria, runs its program through the FM system in the Dial Retrieval area and is at present using "uncalled numbers."

Only by referri ng to the Student Fiscal Policy, which has been ratified by the Student Senate and need not be approved by the student body, do we discover what that implies. In the Fiscal year ending 6-30-71, $1,749 was spent for total salaries tuition. In the following two-year peri od there has been a 7 per cent i ncrease of this line item.

One of the more outstanding omissi ons made by the Senat e seems to be th e fac t that , although any student can obtain a copy of the pr oposed Constitution in the Senate office s, the same student cannot r eadily obtain a copy of the GUrrent Constitution, the proposed By-Laws which corres po,d to the Constitution, or a copy of the Fi scal Policy. It brings to mind th e question '" Why?" The proposed Constitution r ef er s spec ifically in Articl es V, VI, Vll, and in Sec tions 3.0 and 4,0 of Articl e III , and in Sec tion 3.0 of Article XV, to the By -Laws. I urge the students of Lane to know what they are voting for by urging the Student Senat e to al so publ ish copies of the new By -Laws and this yea r 's Fiscal Policy, In this way, when we vote on Feb. 27 and 28, we can make the right decision. At this ti me it might be wise to consider an alternate solution to the student st>nate and its formation. One idea might include a salaried Coor dinator , intervi ewed and hired by student representatives, to function as a coordinator between the student governm :?nts and the programs with which it i s affiliated. Ther e should be a mi ni mum of two work-stlld\ students to ai d the Coordinator and the student representatives in the ar eas of correspondence and other secret arial duties. Finally, the student r epr esentative from each depa rt ment and the bal ance being sel ected from the gener al student body to equal one per cent of the FTE (Full Time Equival ent) student body. The student repr esentatives should sel ect a Chairman t q chair meetings and ac t as offic i al representative of the group when neces sar y. Ther e should be an Alternat e Chairman to assume the Chairman's r esponsibilities when necessary. This typE> of student government might well eliminate m,1ch of the bureaucracy wh i ch seems to oc cur so frequently in ones which consists of an Executive Cabinet and less privileged Senators. bodia, and Thailand, as we did in Vietnam. "We should not be a protagonist for one party,'' he said, but should ' ' work for peace through both sides." Dellenback favors giving aid to both North and South Vietnam to assist in their restoration - he used the term "enlightened selfinterest. " ''Enlightened selfinterest1 says to us, in my opinion, we should now move in and help to assure permanent peace in that area by giving some help to both sides," he explained. Concerning local issues, Dellenback discussed the problems of the Post Office. He explained the goals of the Postal Service as improving service and increasing economy, but said it seemed to be concentrating more on the economic aspect. Dellenback said the lessthan-perfect service has been coming during a change-over to automation, and has resulted in a "reduction in personnel ahead of the automation.'' Dellenback also commented on the recent devaluation of the dollar, saying it would have "no impact on the domestic situation'' nationally, but that it was necessary for the international situation. Of congressional activities in this session Dellenback said "there will clearly be some major issues in the economic field."

"I think it's important to know what's going on," says Karla. She credits involvement with ke~ping teachers from developing a tunnel vision '' which so many of us who are specialists develop---not because we want to, but because we feel we have to. "I think everyone should make some time for other interests and involvements so they don't just get stuck in a little rut." In addition to her teaching duties (she teaches German and World Literature), Karla is involved with a new grading proposal, is active in the Status of Women Committee, and is a faculty representative of the Faculty Council. Karla became interested in the idea of modifying LCC's grading policy when she first came to Lane. Several attempts had already been made to revise the policy she said, but none were successful.So, she decided to see if there were some way she could help. '' There are several things that bother me about our present policy," she said. She cited the use of the grades "D" and "F" as being unfair to students: A "D" she described as "an easy way out for both instructors and students." I ''Students are able to squeeze by, and instructors give '' D' 's, I think just out of helplessness where they don't feel the student really did succeed in the class, but they are reluctant to not give him any credit." Karla feels "when a student is given an F he is in "double jeopardy" because it not only affects the one class but pis total GPA and overall work. "I think a student who spends time and money in a course should be expected to succeed, but if he does not, I think he should simply not receive credit.'' She expressed hope that grades could be looked at in a more "adult light" and that students would not be subject to a "carrot and stick'' method. By working on the proposal Karla has felt '' a marvelous. personal side-effect. . . I got to talk to a lot of people and really got to know many more students from other departments. Something like this really helps me get insight int_o the problems and concerns on campus. That's very satisfying for me." Her work on the Status of Women Committee has also given Karla personal satisfaction. She feels the Committee is an important one • which combats injustices against women, "who aren't a minority, after all, but rather, a majority." She mentioned the fact of the rise in female enrollment at LCC is a further indication of the Committee's importance to this campus. The Faculty Council to which Karla is a delegate representing the Language Arts Department, meets twice a month to discuss concerns and problems of the faculty. The council serves as a forum for opinions and suggestions. ''We're sort of liaison people. We bring ideas and suggestions from the departments to the Faculty Council and we also relay information other departments have brought to that forum." '' This is also a campus-wide thing, and I'm very happy to be involved in that because it again gives me a chance for active participation in what's going on." Karla, who is originally from Germany and came to the States when she was 18, has taught at the University of Washington and at the University of Alaska. She liked Alaska very much. '' I think most American cities are very drab looking, with no specific atmosphere or personality, with very few exceptions. In Europe, even small towns are different from each other. You have a feeling of personality." What Karla likes about the US is the scenery. She stated that she, as a European, could not see that the States have much of an ecology problem. Karla admitted that both she and her husband have "gypsy blood'' and love to travel. She believes people should have flexibility and be able to do the things they want to in life. Wherever she and her husband go next, Karla says, she wants it to be a place where she can keep involved: a place where she can have som,~ influence in changing things and helping people.

Championship playoffs. Last week Lane played three away games, against Central Oregon, Umpqua Community College and Linn-Benton Community College, winning one and losing two. Tuesday night in Bend the Central Bobcats took a narrow 76 to 74 victory over LCC in overtime. Lane had the game in hand several times, leading in the second half by as many as 10 points. But Central would not give up, and finally tied the game and sent it into overtime. Once again the Titans took the advantage on a three-point play by Jim Redman. Two consecutive· Titan turnovers gave OCC a four point and then one point lead. LCC took a couple of shots at the win in the closing seconds but missed. Curt Crone leads LCC wrestlers to fifth in conference by Steve Busby ,J Curt Crone "'" The conference season ended Saturday for LCC's wrestling team with the OCCAA championships. Lane finished fifth in the standings as they were paced by outstanding performances by Curt Crone and Dave Parks. Crone, at 134 pounds, was Lane's only individual winner and Parks placed second in the 150 pound weight division, losing a 5 to 1 decision in the final round. Lane's other placers, Steve Huffman, fourth in the 177 pound class, and Ken Wolfe, fourth in the heavyweight division, did well in their first taste of tournament action. This year's team will lose only two members through graduation, Curt Crone and Rich Bucholtz. But Parks, Huffman, and Wolfe will all return next year. With this lack of experience, Coach Bob Creed feels that the tournament gave the freshmen good experience that will be helpful next year. This weekend the Titans travel to Oregon City for the Region 18 Championships. Creed figures to take four or five wrestlers to the meet, depending on their availability to make the trip.

The first half was very close, with H an k Williams hitting long shots for UCC and Alex lwaniw scoring from everywhere for Lane. Umpqua's rebounders took a good 10 minutes to get into gear, but when they did they began to sweep the boards with a vengeance. Defense was not one of the Timbermen's strong points, though, and star player Syd Kosmicki had trouble all night. With one quarter of the ball game gone. Lane began to find the bucket and Kosmicki committed two fouls in five seconds. Marty Merrill canned a 22-foot jump shot to give Lane a 20 to 18 lead and the Titans took off. Jim Redman scored on tip-ins and Alex Iwan-iw shof holes in the basket from outside, inside, and all over. Iwaniw nailed two rebound shots and an 18-footer to put Lane up by eight. Iwaniw scored a phenomenal 22 points in the first half. In the second half, Greg Green took over where Iwaniw had left off. Green came out of the dressing room and hit one driving layup over the entire Umpqua front line, and a half minute later faked the whole Timberman team into the Umpqua River to score another two-foot shovel shot. Green scored again for his third basket in a row off a nice pass from Jim Redman. Umpqua finally scored their first basket of the half at 16:58 left in the game. By that time it was too late, Iwaniw hit two in a row, Merrill scored on a bomb from the lobby and Tom • = = • • Ill • - Smith shoved in a rebound. The score was 59 to 40 with LCC out in front when Umpqua came out of shock and used a trapping half-court press. The game was over for all practical purposes and the Titans simply coasted-in for their second win of the season over Umpqua. Saturday night at A 1ban y the Linn-Benton Roadrunners dumped Lane for the second loss of the week, 89 to 74. In a repeat of the first half doldrums against Umpqua, Lane came out slow. There was one difference: Umpqua is not Linn- Benton and it is not the easiest fake in the world playing catch-up ball against the league's leading Roadrunners. The first half was misery for the Titans as they simply could not put it together, Craig Martin, the Linn-Benton ·6-foot IO-inch , center dominated the scoring and reboundjng underneath the ~sket in the half, shutting-off the strong offensive reboundiag that had been an asset in the previous nights win. The Titans continue to trail and were behind 44 to 28 at the half. The second half saw LCC start to challenge Martin's dominance inside by driving down his throat. The strategy was effective and Martin picked up five fouls in the half as Lane chipped away at LBCC lead. It was in vain, though, Jim Davidson and Gary Michel continued to sco·r e for the Roadrunners and the Titans comeback fell short. Marty Merrill led the Titan scoring with 16 points while Tom Smith added ·15. Craig Martin totalled 23 points and 23 rebounds for Linn-Benton. WHAT FITS IN AVOLVO WAGON SIX-FOOT SOFA?

The modern definition of a rally squad is three to six women accompanied by two or three handsome masculine young men, all attired in the school colors, who execute various practiced and spon• taneous cheers and supplications, designed to spur the athletic teams on to greater excellence. LCC has now joined the ranks of thos:~ s•::hools proudly exhibiting their "spirit"-filled cheerleaders. The LCC rally squad made their debut at the Lane Community-Judson Baptist, Oregon Community College Athletic Association (DCC.AA) basketball game. There are no men on the Lane rally, although in the organizational phase of the squad several male students expressed early interest, but did not have the time. That leaves four women: Rita Marceau, Pam Warren, Andrea Lodestein, and Sandy Walton. This is not the first rally squad in LCC's history. The very first was formed in 1969 and lasted little more than a year. That first rally had four women and two men. They. each had to pay their own expenses. That was the reason for cancelling any renewal of a rally squad. The latest edition began with a_r1 investigative article on thB policy the LCC Mhletic Departm:ffi~, by a member oflast year's TORCH staff,. Marty Stalick. Stalick began research in January of 1972, proposing several changes in the handling of basketball games in particular, and athletic policy in general. Specifically, Stalick, in a letter to the Editor, (TOJ{CH Feb. 15, 1972,) called for refinements in halftime entertainment and suggested the formation of a rally squad and the possibility of concession • sales. In a subsequent meeting, Physical Education Director Richard Newell agreed to some of the suggestions, according to Stalick. The real work of organizing a rally squad began for Stalick before the start of the 1972-73 academic year. Stalick travelled to several nearby community colleges and questioned coaches and athletic officials Continued on page 11) Campus Ministry LCC - -James Dieringer = = - TACO TIME Office LCC Restaurant ................................................................... • • <UUL o-& ~ - (lJ - , .

Stalick came back with a rough draft of ideas and a tentative constitution for the proposed rally. The formation of a screening committee to select the rally squad personnel and the actual selection was hampered by various breakdowns in communications. The uncertainty about the possibility of Student Senate funds for the making of uniforms, and uncertainty about approval of the girls on the rally added to the confusion. Approval from the Athletic Department came just before Christmas vacation and, with Stalick extending a personal loan of $130 to the women for construction of uniforms, the women took over. They made their own uniforms, finally were approved by the Student Senate for the $75 alloted for full-fledge club, and began planning for action.

The purpose of the rally is, "not for prestige, but for support of the teams, school support," said Rita, but she complained that they were forced to wait " 'til the last minute," as far as transportation planning was concerned. The Athletic Department did however provide some transportation, in the form of school cars for a game at a later date. Coach Roth has his side too. Roth complained that his players have been practicing since Oct. 15 and had played through all but eight games of a long, tough season when the rally squad was formed. "No one knows the effort these guys have put out,'' says Roth. The importance of the game at SWOCC also had a bearing on his decision not to allow the women to accompany the team to Coos Baythe team lost the game by one point in the last seconds. Roth said he's coached for 15 or 16 years and has never been requested to provide transportation for a rally squad. It is indeed the prime duty of the coach to see that nothing should be done to interfere with the concentration of his team on the eve of an important contest. The coach has the last word when it comes to who travels with his players, and once again that fact was illustrated. Perhaps the best solution is the one used by the Umpqua Community College rally-they are given $250 from the student government at the start of the season and are expected to return the remaining funds back to the student government at the end of the year. _Th~ rally is allowed to ride with the team, but the ultimate decision is in the hands of the coach. If the coach decides against allowing the rally to travel with his team, the Athletic Department provides an alternate means of transportation. It's a good setup and Umpqua has a well organized rally squad. Umpqua may have a nice cheerleading section, but LCC has roundly beaten them on the court twice this year, and isn't that what it's all about?

Armstrong While she is not sure just how far he adjusted prior to their marriage, she believes "there is a great tendency to give them so much understanding you could drown them in it." "Some excuse their bad behavior-even bizarre behavior," she said. "I don't believe in that." Armstrong, a slight-of -build, articulate man who has no gray in his black hair, recalls incidents and dates of his military service and life in prison with remarkable accuracy. He enlisted in the 59th Coast Artillery in Oakland, Calif., and was shipped to the Philippines for service at Ft. Drum, a hattleship like artillery emplacement between Corregidor and Bataan. The six and 16-inch guns caused great damage to the Japanese invasion forces until Gen. Jonathan Wainwright surrendered the American forces. "We didn't surrender--they surrendered us," he says, and on May 8, 1942, the Japanese arrived to take him, a private first class, and the other prisoners. The Americans left their guns so damaged they could not be used again. Then came the trip to Manila, to Ft. Wawa and finally to Cabanatuan by freight train. It was at one of Cabanatuan's outlying camps that survivors of the infamous Death March of Bataan were held, and it was there that Armstrong witnessed the execution by firing squad of four Americans who were accused of escaping. Instead they Parody Supplement is not on the last page. Return to page 1 and start over. had attempted to go to the main camp to buy food. Armstrong wrote his story of that execution for the Register-Guard in 1958. One experience he recalls with near-horror is the 62 days he spent with other prisoners in the hot, stinking hold of a Japanese ship as he was taken from the Philippines to J apano The last 13 months of his imprisonment were spent on Kyushu. The treatment by the guards varied from kindness to extreme brutality. The guards themselves were military rejects, unfit themselves for military dutieso "My scars are bee ause of brutal J aps, " he said. "I survived because of some of the good ones." One of his most severe beatings, for no reason, came after the Japanese had surrendered. The guard knew of the surrender--he did not. The end of the war was not accompanied by shouts of joy and great celebration such as experienced in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Armstrong, who spent much of his prison life working in mining camps, recalls the prisoners were told they would not have to go to work the next day. The guar,ds explained they were being held back to prevent them from catching some disease. '' But that night they told us we could let our hair grow and we knew the- war was over," he said. "That was their way of telling us, bee ause we had been forced to have our hair clipped short before." The prison guards took off during the night and the prisoners, a mixture of British,Australains and Americans, were free to go outside the camp and forage for food. They needed it. With his normal weight varying from 160 to 165 pounds, his weight dropped as low as 88 pounds and was 110 at the time of his release. He returned to the United States on Nov. 1, 1945, and it was during his convalescence in a hospital in Menlo Park, Calif., that he met his instructor in wife, Jean, who was serving as therapy on a volunteer basis. He came to the University of Oregon in 1946 for his graduate work, obtained his masters degree in 1948 and taught at Grays Harbor Junior College in Aberdeen, Wash. He taught in high schools and then came to LCC. Armstrong has read with interest the benefits planned for the prisoners from the Vietnam war-advances in rank and back pay ranging as high as $100,000. He went into service as a Pfc and came out a corporalo His back pay for five years of service and as a prisoner totaled $3,5000 ''I was fortunate in one way, he explains. "I hac;l no close attachments-,io wife waiting at home for me when I came back. There was a big family, but none of the emotional ties that a man with a wife and children would have. "I was determined to be a writer," he continued. He has succeeded in that . He is the author of "Somewhere is Down," and "The Flip Side," a booklet of terse sayings which say· a lot in a few words. There is apparent in his conversation a deep understanding of the problems the returning prisoners of war will face because he, too, faced it. "President Nixon was right when he said he would not impose himself on them, but they were free to call on him whenever they felt like it. "They have done a good job of looking after themselves through all the months and years of imprisonment or they wouldn't be coming home now. They'd be dead. So let them find their own way." New Shakespeare Company gives Bard to -common man They want to give Shakespeare back to the rightful owners-the people, says a news release from the New Shakespeare Company of San Francisco. And that is exactly what they have been doing--exposing the magic of the Old Bard to theater and non-theater types in parks, libraries, museums and auditoriums, throughout the country. The company, made up of 25 professional actors and technicians with experience ranging from little to extensive, will bring Shakespeare's "As You Like It" to LCC campus on Friday, March 2, at 8 p.m. The company in describing their desire to bring Shakespeare to the common man, s~ys "he is Uf!iversal, relevant, a classic. He belongs to every man, not just the • intellectual or the guy who can afford six or eight dollars a seatbut every man." Tickets for the LCC performance, to be held in the LCC WWII hero hopes PO WS accorded 'more privacy' by Muri in Spencer of the Register-Guard An LCC instructor who holds America's highest military medal expressed great joy today at the release of the prisoners of war, but said he hoped they would be given '' a little more privacy" than they have been accorded. "This is a real tender moment I when fighting men are reunited with their families," said Robert D. Maxwell, a teacher of auto mechanics at Lane Community College. ''I'm tickled to death that they are able to come back, but I'm sorry so many appear to be in such poor shape. And I don't like the press and television making too much of this thing-this is a time when they need a little more privacy." ,Maxwell said there is now camparison between the return of these men and his return in January 1945 from Italy where he was stationed with the 3rd Infantry Division. '' My return was a fairly subdued one on a hospital ship, and after three years iri the service the reunion with my family was a real joyful one. But it couldn't be compared with the reunion of the prisoners with their families. They had been given up for lost-for all their families knew they would never return. Then they return." The Medal of Honor is awarded for the greatest heroism, and Maxwell was awarded his medal for great heroism at great sacrifice. He tells the incident in a matter-of-fact way-it was 28 years ago on Sept. 7, 1944. He was serving in France about 60 miles from Germany. It was night when he heard a grenade hit the ground after being tossed across a fence by a German. "I felt around for it to try and throw it back," he recalls. "I couldn't find it, so I dropped to the ground and attempted to cover it with my body and a blanket where I thought it might be0 I took most of 1 the explosion myself, but no one else was injured. ' He received a number of wounds, with part of his right foot blown off, a severe wound in his left forearm, a wound in his head and shrapnel pieces in his body. He was hospitalized in France, in Italy, in California and in Colorado Springs for three months prior to his release . He did not know he was aherountil after he was moved to Colorado when he was sent to Denver to receive the highest award from an Army general in behalf of President Truman. an Robert Maxwell {right) in class 11111 Unclassifieds 11111 73 CENTS-A-YARD SALE.

This manual has been prepared to sufficiently confuse you so that maybe you'll decide to stay off the road. It provides generally useless information, yet keeps several state employees from going hungry. Oregon motorists enjoy an excellent highway system that plays a vital role in our state's economy. Why risk destroying it with overuse? Read this manual and stay home. Otherwise I may be forced to ask the legislature to raise your license fees and gas taxes even higher. love, 2 There can be no pleasure equal to that of receiving your very first driver's license. Whether you are 16 or 60 at the time, that first license will me.m more to you than anything else in the world. To some it is a symbol of adulthood, to others an emblem of achievement. And to all it means an end to dependence on others and a beginning of their dependence on you. POWER A driver's license gives you power over others. You decide when grandma can or cannot use the crosswalk. You decide when the grade school safety patrol has outlived its usefulness. You decide who is going to live and who is going to die. IDENTIFICATION Your driver's license is the most effective piece of identification you can possess. With it you can open a bank account or pass a bad check. It identifies you to the grocery clerk, the policeman and the county coroner. Your driver's license is unique- no two are ever made exactly alike. OBTAINING A UCENSE There are two ways to obtain your Oregon driver's license. The first is to be at least 16 years of age, be a resident of the state, study this manual and be able to answer a battery of ridiculous questions based on its contents, have adequate vision, practice driving a vehicle so that you would be considered at least semi-skilled in its operation and have $3.50 in cash.

Here are just a few ideas on how you can recycle your old license. Use it as a bookmark. Trade it for three Roger Maris baseball cards. Road Signs Next to the Department of Motor Vehicles, the road sign is the motorist's best friend. Road signs give important information about distances, directions, points of interest and, of course, rest areas. Many road signs point out traffic dangers that are not easily recognized or that don't actually exist. Most importantly, however, road signs take your eyes off the highway just long enough to cause accidents and traffic jams. And these are the things which help keep our department in business. As you travel throughout the state, you will begin to notice that different types of signs serve different purposes. • Neon Signs Use it as an eye patch. ~] Use it as one of the ingredients in a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Invite over 51 car driving friends and work up a card game. Seasons and Bag Limits State law regarding automobile insurance and financial responsibility allows each driver to kill or maim the number of persons he can hit in a single accident. The period of time from when the driver's license is issued to when this first major accident occurs is called Open Season. After the first major accident, the driver has reached his Open Season bag limit and Closed Season begins. During this period, you may secure a license only after proving financial responsibility to the state. Such responsibility is usually shown through the purchase of an auto insurance liability policy. Once this policy has been bought and your license re-issued, you are free to hunt as before. When the five year Closed Season comes to an end, Open Season begins once more and the driver is again entitled to one free accident. The purpose of this law is to insure that potential victims may retain the thrill and excitement of everyday life as well as to protect your right to drive your car over somebody else as guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States. Neon ~igns warn the driver to slow down or stop. They oftentimes indicate the presence of some traveler's aid which might be useful before continuing on down the highway. Many neon signs are directional and, as such, include an arrow for clarification.

Their most important function is to help , the jury reach a speedy verdict. Example "A" is a typical "No-Way" sign. Example " 8 11 is a sign indicating that the driver is either on the wrong side of a freeway divider, in the wrong lane of a highway, or travelling the wrong direction on a &>ne way street. In any case, when you see this sign, you are going the WRONG WAY. '1'•1Xli,S Illuminated plastic signs are informational signs.

Warning signs can show u pcomirJ,g intersections, curves or just plain words of warning. Examples "A" and "8 11 show curves in the roadway. Example " C" shows an abrupt end of the highway. Other Common Warning Signs Driver knows himself Driver knows you casually Driver has selfconfidence Driver has edged too close to center line Driver knows you personally Driver has 3 o 'clock yoga class ,~ Although electronic signal lights are now standard equipment on all automobiles, the hand signal still remains the most expressive method of indicating a turn. RIGHT HAND TURNS 1) In approaching the corner, maneuver your car well over to the right. 2) Move left arm outward and through open car window. 3) Bend arm .,90° at elbow, leaving upper arm parallel to road surface and forearm pointed upward, perpendicular to road surface. 4) Retrieve arm and complete turn. LEFT HAND TURNS 1) On a two-way street, approach the corner with your car just to the right of the center line; on a oneway street, approach the corner with your car in the far left lane. 2) Move left arrrmutward and through open car window. 3) Point arm straight out, stiff at the elbow, para lie~ to the road surface and perpendicular to the side of your automobile. 4) Retrieve arm and complete turn. HAND SIGNAL CHECKLIST D Be sure your car window is rolled down before signalling a turn. Be sure to retrieve your arm after signalling. Otherwise, you could travel around in circles for the rest of the day. D Always remember: Left hand turns are signalled with the left arm and right hand turns are signalled with the left arm. 6 7 . Steps in Parallel Parking Who Has the Right-of-Wayl Car "A" has right-of-way to go straight or turn left onto one-way street. Car "B" has right-of-way to turn right but not to proceed forward. Car "C" has right-of-way to turn left if both car "A" and car "B" are stalled. 3 RIGHT-OF-WAY It should be obvious that the question of right-of-way is determined by what letter you have on your roof. If you make more right turns than left turns, you should have a ''B" on your roof. If you make more left turns than right turns, you should have a "C" on your roof. And if you go straight more often than you turn, you should have an" A" on your roof.

This shocking statistic is due in part to the fact that many motorists simply do not under- stand the effect alcohol and other drugs have on the body. Most people mistakenly believe that alcohol is a stimulant. This is not true. Alcohol is a depressant and, as such, it has been shown to actually improve your ability to drive. When alcohol enters the stomach, it is rapidly aosorbed into the bloodstream and carried throughout the body. As sopn as it reaches the brain, you start to become calm and relaxed. It is this effect which makes alcohol and many other drugs an important factor in preventing even greater numbers of ,highway fatalities. Tests conducted by the Federal Bureau of Highway Safety have proven that the calm or relaxed motorist is much more able to cope with modern day tense driving situations. Conversely, the motorist who is nervous or emotionally "high strung" will tend to make quick movements, rash decisions and have a greatly increased chance.,of becoming involved in an injury accident. 1'\ere are many drugs which have effects similar to those of alcohol. But the potential user should also be warn@d that there are also drugs- principally stimulants- which have an opposite effect . . During your trip, signs along the highway will alert you to areas where police arecflow using highly sensitive devices to check on drivers who use such stimulants. Warnings such as "Speed Zone Ahead" and "Speed Checked By Radar" should not be taken lightly. ; In a public reservoir. 9 Alcohol and Drugs Sober & Shakey specifically train. or On a pedestrian. is 0 ·under a truck or moving In a schoolyard.

" It's also important to remember who's safety it is that comes first. Other motorists aren't going to drive nicely just because you're driving, too. So why should you drive decently for them? Offensive driving is a philosophy of operating an automobile. The offensive driver understands certain basic principles of the road that seem to escape many other motorists: 1. Other drivers do not want to get in a wreck. When it comes to a final showdown, most will give in. 2. Drivers with small children in-their car tend to be very timid. 3. Few drivers will notify the police if you threaten them with bodily harm. 4. Even though they may appear self-confident, pedestrians, bicyclists and horseback riders know that their lives dep~d 09 your good nature. @ The offensive driver can get to work, get home and get to the supermarket faster than anybody else. That's because he has the good sense not to look out -for anybody else. OFFENSIVE DRIVING TOOLS HORN The horn is the most useful tool in the offensive driver's possession. With it he can warn oncoming traffic that he is using their lane, he can instruct pedestrians to have respect for others and he can let ~her drivers know what he thinks about their asinine driving habits. GAS PEDAL The offensive driver does not use the gas pedal as if his life depends on it. He uses the gas pedal because his life depends on it. Each second he lets up on the gas pedal is another second of life wasted in traffic. The offensive driver understands that a life filled with wasted seconds isn't worth living. REARVIEW MIRROR The offensive driver realizes that he is traveling forward and, therefore, it is a waste of time to look back. To help pass the time he will often use his rearview mirror to reflect the suI, into another motorist 's eyes. Special concave mirror lenses are now available at many auto parts distributors. They enable the offensive driver to focus as much as eight times the brightness of the sun onto an area the size of a cranberry. 11 Motorcycles Not too many years ago, motorcycling was looked upon as a perversity and an outrage by society and as a criminal activity by the courts. Motorcyclists were forced to carry on their activities in the shadows- away from the watchful eyes of others- out of fear that they would be labelled abnormal or sick. Fortunately, these "Dark Ages" of motorcycling are now coming to an end. They are being replaced by feelings of tolerance, if not outright acceptance. Most states are presently revising their criminal codes to allow motorcycling and other unusual vehicular activity so long as it only involves consenting adults. Motorcyclists, themselves, are becoming more bold and ope;, about their vehicular preferences. Not only is their number on the increase, they have organized clubs and lobbying organizations to fight for even further reforms. Because of all this, your State Motor Vehicle Department has started a program of licensing and public education to insure that these former vehicular outcasts may now drive with pride and respect in a predominately automobile oriented society. Before operating a twoMOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENTS wheeler on public roads, a motorcyclist must first get a special endorsement on his driver's license. He must show knowledge of the particular rules pertaining to his vehicle orientation, as well as prove to the examiner that he is qualified to operate the vehicle in traffic. Front brake ~I -Throttle THE MOTORCYCLE RIDER All motorcyclists are required to wear clothing CLOTH I NG while operating their vehicles on public roadways. The motorcycle rider should always be ALERTNESS prepared to make a sudden stop. The State Highway Department, in cooperation with our office, has installed a number of potholes, steel bridge gratings, grooved pavement areas and old trolly car tracks in order to help motorcyclists stay awake and alert. A drowsy motorcyclist is a menace to everyone. One of the greatest assets to modern APPEARANCE motorcycling is the rider who keeps himself and his cycle in a favorable light. High-rise handlebars, chain link clothing and outlandish tattoos (which are now prohibited in some states) only tend to destroy the image that most motorcyclists are trying to create.

The written exam is b~sed on _information in this booklet. The driving skills test checks your ability to operate an automobile in normaJ traffic situations. In order to help you prepare for the written exam, we have included some sample test questions below.
