ASL CC Constitution focus of debate
by Jim Gregory

F'or

Next Tuesday and Wednesday LCC students will be
asked, for the sec on j time this year, to ratify a new
ASLCC Constitution and By-laws.
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.

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.

·Bolton passes up Third World convention
for the ms elves and later on, run for
higher offices in the spring. 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."

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

Eighth LCC commencement set for June 6

LCC's Graduation Committee has decided to
have a modified traditional ceremony for commencement in the Spring, and has set Sunday, June 3, as
the date for the eighth LCC ceremony.
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.

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.

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)

Anti-tourist James Blaine Society
plans unusual adve,rtisi'ng campaign
Ron Abell doesn't hate tourists;
he just wants them to go somewhere besides Oregon, and he
hopes to achieve this through a unique advertising campaign.
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

fear the apartments will overload

growth of the college.
The Board also accepted the resig·nation of Virginia DeChaine as

Chaine, who has been department
chairwoman for six ye a rs, requested to be returned to fulltime teaching.

cent of the cases occur in the
15-to-24 age group.
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."
Lewetag stated that neither he
nor Nodine have plans to work towards licensing KLX, butbothstudents plan to work on the station
through the Spring Term.
According to Lewetag KLX, operating without an FCC license, is
not illegaL KLX's call numbers are
not being used in the state so everything is ''legal;" said Lewetag.
KLX has basically a contemporary rock format with an emphasis

Fourth District Congressman
John Dellenback said at a Eugene
news conference Thursday that
amnesty should not be an issue
until the draft has been '' laid to
rest," and emotional discussion
''is out of the way,"
"I personally do not feel," said
Dellenback, "that the nation can or
should move in the direction of unconditional amnesty . . . But I do

A pre-trial conference will be
he·Id March 19 in the sex discrimination I aw suit filed last
month against LCC President Eldon Schafer and the LCC Board of
Education, by Dorothy Utsey, LCC
Financial Aids secretary.
Ms. Utsey, who charges that
sex discrimination was involved in
the reclassification of her job in
August of 1971, said last week that
she has heard nothing from the
administration since last January,
when the lawsuit was filed.
Ms. Utsey, who administers the
Guaranteed Student Loan Program
in the Financial Aids Office at
LCC, claims that she was hired
as a "counselor aid 11 but that a ,,
month after she was hired, the job
was reclassified as a clerical
position, with an accompanying
drop in salary. She seeks reinstatement, reimbursement, paym•~nt of attorney' s fees, and proJohn Dellenback

ponding By-Law to the proposed Constitution they state:
Renumeration for Student Body Officers
1. President-sal ar y and full t uition
2. Sec r et ary-F TE salary (non-student professional)
3. Executive Cabinet Members and Senators - at-Large-full tuition
4. Parliamentarian , OCCSA Coordinator, and Health Coordinatorfull tuition
5. All officers receiving tuition grants must qualify by standards as
assessed by our Financial Aids Office.
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. For the
period ending 6-30-73 the approved allocation has risen to $12,340.
Most Senate membe r s al so r ecei ve three cr edit hours for their work.
It might be inter esting to note ther e has been a 150 per cent incr ease i n
Student Body Fees.
Ther e ar e other changes in the Constitution, som1~ of which are
valid, and other s which further constrict the rights of those students
outsid e the Senate,
Aside from these changes in the proposed Constitution, there are
other basic fl aws which need t o be challenged by the students at Lane.
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."
H e gave as an example possible
legislation . on log exports -- limiting exports from federal lands.

"I guess you can say I just like to stick my nose in things,"
laughingly admits Karla Schultz, two year veteran of LCC's Language
Arts Department.
"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.

Lane basketball team aims for playoff berth
by lex Sahonchik·

After· another week of OCCAa
basketball action LCC finds its
team heading towards the fourth
place berth in the OCCAA. 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.

In Roseburg Friday night, Lane
overcame Umpqua and won with a
77 to 62 score.
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

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.

from Lex Sahonchik

Somehwere, sometime, someone wrote, or decreed, an unrecorded
cardinal rule that says; "To be an authentic basketball team thou
shalt have a rally squad."
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

Lane Com.--nunity College's women's basketball team captured the
consolation berth in the Northwest "B" Team Basketball Tournament
this we~kend in Monmouth.
The women beat Mt. Hood C. C. 32 to 24 to gain the position.
In the first quarter action, LCC used the press to cause Mt. Hoo1
to make many mistakes resulting in many turnovers. LCC rebounded
well, trying to keep the game close and succeeding as the quarter ended
with Mt Hood leading, 7 to 5o
LCC fought back to gain the lead in the second quarter behind the
aggressive playing of Judy Heidenrich. With 4:30 left in the half LCC
went ahead by two. LCC maintained their lead and then began to le~gthen
ito With less than five seconds left in the half, guard Sharon Isaacs fed
the ball to Penny Shoop, who scored with one second left in the half putting LCC out in front, 17 to IL
'
In the third quarter, LCC widened their lead to 13 points before
Mt. Hood began coming back. With 2:02 left in the quarter, Mt. Hood had
cut LCC's lead to nine points. But fighting to keep ahead LCC's Isaacs
took a wild shot with two seconds left in the quarter. She ~ade it ending
the quarter with LCC leading 28 to 170
'
Fourth quarter play started out slow. With almost three minutes
go~e by, only one point had been scored. LCC, with a comfortable 14
porn~ lead, started substituting early in the final quarter. LCC went on
to wm 32 to 24.

,

. In other games leading up to the consolation contest, LCC lost its
first game o~ the tournament to Grays Harbor College of Washington,
59 to 38: High scorer for LCC was Sharon Baugh with 14 points followed by ~ue Mitchell ~ith 13. LCC then beat Willamette University, 41
to 33. Mitchell was high scorer with 15 points and Baugh provided
another 10 points.

in their handling of problem:-; in
the area of rally squads. 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 following game was
played at Coos Bay against a strong
Southwestern Oregon Community
College (SWOCC). The women naturally wanted to accompany the
team down to Coos Bay and lend
their support.
Basketball Coach Irv Roth refused to allow the women to ride
with the team and there was no
rally at the SWOCC gameo Neither
was the rally present at Umpqua
CC game in Roseburg last Friday
night.
The women, of course, were disappointed. They assailed Coach
Roth and his assistant Athletic
Director Bob Radcliffe for not allowing them to accompany the
team. When asked about the amount
of cooperation they have received
from the Athletic Department,
Rally President Rita Marceau replied, ''None.''
She complained that the coach-

ing staff had told her that they
liked the rally but forced the women to "do our own thing." 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?

'Let them find their way~
by Murlin Spencer of the Register-Guard

A former prisoner of war, and now an LCC
instructor who still carries the scars of brutality
acquired in prison camps from the Philippines
to Japan, had this word today for wives and parents
of returning prisoners from Vietnam:
"Let them find their own way."
"We are inclined to do too much worrying about
them," said Paul Armstrong, an LCC Language Arts
instructor. "They made the horrible adjustment to
live the life of a prisoner and survive. If they can
do that, they can adjust to freedom."
Armstrong, 61, who adjusted from the life of
an artillery man in . the tragic, final days of Corregidor and Bataan in World War
II and 39 months
in prison camps to
become an LCC
instructor con- ..
cedes there is no%""'''..,,.""' ""~" safe generality"
that can be applied
to how wives and
parents s ho u 1 d
treat their men
home
returning
after months or
years as prisoners of the North
Vietnamese
Viet Cong.
But his wife ,,
Jean, who met and
him
married
within less tha
a year after h
gained freedom
is of the '' tough
Paul
school."

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

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."

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.

A License to Drive

My Fellow Oregonians:

Every time you take the
wheel of your car you assume
the responsibility for the
safety of yourself, your
passengers
and
your
governor.
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

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.

brief description of your physical characteristics along with an
international money order for $59.95 to Jose Emanuel Vequerez,
Siesta Print Shop,. Box 1836, Ensenada, Mexico. Please allow 38
months for delivery.
WHEN YOUR LICENSE EXPIRES
Just because your driver's
license has expired, there is no reason to believe it is no longer of
any value. 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.

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.

Regulatory signs are rectangular-shaped signs which tell
you that you are just about to

already doing it. 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

when you see this sign, you are
going the WRONG WAY.

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.

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. These
large pre-gummed letters are available at your local Motor
Vehicle Office for only $7.50 each and are renewable annually.

PARALLEL PARKING
Parking your car parallel next to a
curb can be easy if you just follow these four simple steps.:
1. Line up your car (#1) beside parked car (#2) and one to two feet
away.
2. Back up slowly, turning steering wheel sharply to right.
3. Turn wheel sharp left when front bumper of your car evens
rear bumper of car ahead. Continue backing until parallel.
4. Straighten wheels if on l,evel roadway. On hills, crimp front
wheels against curb to prevent rolling.

Offensive Driving

Drivers who are sober account for more than 50 percent of all
highway fatalities in the United States. 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 today's traffic, it's not enough to remember the rule, "Safety
First. " 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.

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.
