Senate votes
new student
officer elections
.After three sessions of deliberations,
the ASLCC Senate voted to hold a new
spring election.
.
The action resulted from discussion
over a petition submitted prior to Thursday's Senate meeting. The initiative petition which claimed to contain over 600
stude~t signatures, called for "a special
runoff election to be held before the end
of Spring Term, 1973." It designated
the top candidates to be included on the
ballot: '' The three candidates who received
the most votes'' for the office of first
vice-president, and "those candidates who
did not receive 50 per cent plus one of
the votes" for the senator-at-large seats.
Questions arose over the intent of the
petition after Second Vice-President Kenny Walker pointed out that if the senatorat-large positions had to be filled by
candidates receiving over 50 per cent of
the votes, only 01e candidate could wi n
(ther e are five ·senator-at -l ar ge positions). Senator Russel Oom:, called the
petition "unclear and ill-defined."
ASLCC Presid_
ent Jay Bolton stated that
although the petition needed clarification,
it was clear that "the intent of this is
a run-off election by the end of this term."
Senator-at-Large Steve Leppanen then
moved "to have a run-off election Monday
and Tuesday of finals week' ' pending verification of the signatures and clarification
of the petition. Leppanen stated that the
Senate "really doesn' t have any choice,"
because , he explained, " it would be in
viol ation of our Constitution" not to accept
the petition. The motion carried 6 to 4
with two abstentions.
Thursday's m,";eting recessed because
of lack of a quorum. When it reconvened
Monday, Bolton said in order to avoid
" our own little Watergate thing . . . I
ask the body for a completely new election." The Senate unanimously approved
the suggestion. It was then determined
that a by-law change would be needed to
deal with the new election. A by-law
change was then approved. (See Senate
story, page 14). The meeting adjourned in
keeping with the requirements on by-law
revisions.
However, the second Senate meeting
of the afte:.-noon - scheduled 10 minutes
after the first - it was determined that
the Senate had acted without a quorum,
and the earlier action was invalidated.
For ASLCC legal aid
The Senate then read and approved
election guidelines which had been developed since the last elections, by a
co:nmutee chaired by Russell Ooms. The
body then re-adopted a by- law addition.
The addition stated that in emergency
elections, suspension of all documents
was legal so that a new election could
be held.
A motion was then approved to reconsider holding a runoff election.
Discussion then turned to alledged illegaliti es in the April 31/May l election.
In a letter from Springfield Attorney
Robert Ackerman to ASLCC Presidentelect David Red Fox and Treasurer Bob
Vinyard, Ackerman said his law firm -Babcock and Ackerman - "would be willing to draft a complete legal services
program for the students at Lane Community College.'' ,
.Red Fox and Vinyard met with Ackerman May 14 to discuss the possible
formation of a legal aid service at LCC
_
for Fall Term, 1973.
Ackerman is director of the Student
Legal Aid service at the University of
Oregon and, until his resent resignation
(see story page ) was a member of the
LCC Board of Education. Ackerman said
he resigned from the board to avoid a
possible "conflict of interest" since he
will be involved in the legal aid program
at LCC . But, at this time, he said_, it
w:-is too early to predict the extent of
his involvement in such a program,
In an April 25 memorandum to the
ASLCC Senate Vinyard outlined the Legal
Aid Service. According to the memorandum, an attorney would work at LCC
15 ho'lrs a week, with a flexible schedule
so that he is available to both day and
evening students. The estimated cost of
the program was $16,000 the first year,
with a possible cost reduction in later
years.
The current plan , according to the
mi3mo, calls for supportive assistance
fro:n students on work study, who would
be gaining experience as legal secretaries in the Legal Aid Office. The office
would be open eight hours a day.

needs a free. press
Many have criticized the Nixon Administration for
attempted censorship of the press. But LCC students
don't have to look as far as the White Ho•1se to see such
an attempt-they only have to look at theirnewly elected
student body president.
Because the TORCH does not actually sell subscriptions the ASLCC Senate has funded about one-third of
the total TORCH budget (the Senate funded the TORCH
$3,400 this year). This has provided every student with
a copy of the TORCH for onlytwocents per copy, which
is taken out of student body fees.
TORCH advertising makes up for the balance of its
production costs. (The Mass Communication Department
"' supports the TORCH for instructional and bookkeeping
costs. It should also be pointed out that the TORCH has
requested $6,795 from the Senate for next year as the ·
staff plans to publish twice-weekly instead of only once
a week. Ho·Never, in order to meet the increased production demand the TORCH will be forced to purchase
new copy setting equipment.)
But 1973-74 ASLCC President, David J. Red Fox~
wants to eliminate TORCH funding because, as he explained to us, he wants the Senate to publish a newspaper "with our (the Senate's) point of view." Red Fox
ma,je this decision before ever seeing the TORCWs
proposed budget.
The·TORCH, as we promised our readers in an edito:-:-ial in the first newspaper of Fall TermJ has closely
monitored the ASLCC Senate, we have demanded they
show rationale as to why they spend student body fees
as they do, demanded thatthey thinkabouttheir expenditures, and demanded that they charge responsibilities
only to qualified people.
Red Fox doesn't like such monitoring. According to
him, when students know that kind of information and
criticism, it causes them to be disinterested.
The current ASLCC President, Jay Bolton, told us
that he doesn't feel the TORCH has been as critical of
the Senate Winter and Spring Term 1s the paper was
Fall Term.
Exactly. Our criticism has brought about changes.
Our suggestions have caused the Senate to think before
it acts. Our criticism is directly proportionaltothe way
the Senate conducts its business.
Without the free press LCC has had this year, the
Senate would probably have continued to conduct itself
Winter and Spring Terms as it did Fall Term-to the
direct disadvantage of alm)st every student. But Red
Fox does not want a free press.
Red Fox's attempt to censor the press not only woul9
deny students knowledge of how the Senate is expending
their money, it would also deny them all other news
stories-like the series on a proposed program change
in the Industria1 Technology Department that welding
students felt was unfavorable; or news stories about
LCC women working for equal status; or ab::mt a film
class that was running into difficulty in getting approval; or a complaint by paraprofessionals in the Math
Department that they be treated like other LCC em ployees; or news of attempted rapes of LCC women; or
grading policy changes, final exam schedules, registration schedules; or LCC Board of Education policy
changes; sports; additional benefits for veterans; future
musical, culture and art events-or the entire array of
news and information the TORCH ha.5 published this
year.
This issue is also an example of Red Fox politicsbefore the election Red Fox cami~ to our office and said
he felt the TORCH was a good publication and should get
$10,000 from the Senate next year (presently we receive
$3,400). We inform.-~d him we would not discuss TORCH

elections.

Joe Siksp ak runs out of gas
by Arthur Hoppe
Dear President: I, Joe Sikspak, American, take
pen in hand to stick a tiger in your tank. It's
about this gas shortage.
"Give me a Seven-high," I says to Paddy
down at P,addy's Place the other night. "And tell
m3 how come the oil companies suddenly discovered
they was running out of gas."
"It's one of the luckiest discoveries in the
history of the oil discoveries, Joe," says Paddy.
"They discovered it just when there's a fight
over the Alaska pipeline, a battle in Congress over
new oil drilling allowances, a struggle with the
Administration to raise gas prices, and a running
war with ecologists over off-shore rigs and oil
sp1lls."
"You can't get much luckier than that," says I.
"But do you think it'll blow over, Paddy?"
"Never underestimate our great american oil
companies, Joe/' says he. "Look at the tremendous creative genius they've used to sell us more
gas. You think they can't sell us on the idea they're
running out?"
And he tells me how it's going to become
this summer when I pull into Herschell's Friendly
Neighborhood Super Service.
***
There'll be old Herschell, (says Paddy) standing
under the familiar signs-" Triple Trading Stamps!''
"One Free Glass!" "Play the Fun-Filled Peas
& Shells Game!" Only the sign on the pump will
say, "$1.98 per gal. incl. taxes.''
"What happened to tbat gas price war last
November, Herschell?'' says I.
"It's still on, Joe," says he. "And I'm winning. How much do you want?"
"Well, seeing it's payday, Herschell," says I,
"I'll take a whole gallon."
"Fine," says he. "But first, hand me over my
free glass."
"I got to give you a glass?" says I.
"You're lucky,'' says he. "Naxt week, you'll
need a set of matched steak knives. Now, let's
see, at triple, you also owe me 214 trading stamps."
"I never liked licking them anyway," says I,
digging them out of the glove compartment. '' I
spend hours pasting them up and the guy takes the
book I labored over, throws it away and gives me
an appliance that busts a week later."
"Wash the windows, Joe?" says Herschell.
"They aren't dirty," says I.
" .Mine are," says he. "Start with -the one over
the cash register. And while you're at it, let's
check the oil. I don't know how many quarts I
got left in inventory.''
***
Well, getting back to Paddy's Place, President,
I order another Seven-high and say, "P:1ddy, you
mean I'll have to wash Hershell's windows, check
his oil and give him a glass and stamps to get a
gallon of gas I can't afford?"
"Not to mention losing a fin to him 1 Joe,
trying to guess which shell the pea's under, "
says Paddy. "And after that, you'll be ready to
write your Congressman demanding pipelines, drilling allowances, off-shore rigs and John Connally
for Ecology Director.''
Of course, President, maybe the country's really
running out of gas. But I wouldn't worry none.
Like Paddy says, "Wben you think how the automobile fills the air with smog, the hospitals with
bodies and the countryside with concrete, we should
be so lucky."
Truly Yours,
Joe Sikspak, Am,~rican

WASHINGTON - Thirtyseven years ago, Richard
Nixon was known to his Duke
Law School classma"f'es as
"Gloomy Gus." They gave
him the nickname because of
his brooding nature and his
tendency to pull into his tortoise shell during times of
stress.
During Nixon's second
year at Duke, for example,
Nixon began to slfp in his studies. Gloomy Gus got
gloomier. In desperation, he
and two roommates broke
into the dean's office to find
out their academic standing.
Today, President Nixon is
worried about far more
serious break-ins. As he
agonizes over the Watergate
scandal, the President has
turned to his most trusted
managers at the Office of
Manageme nt and Budget.
0MB staffers have been
asked to suggest what the
President can do to take the
people's mind off Watergate.
One suggestion the President has taken to heart is to
keep smiling. Old Gloomy
Gus is rarely seen in pubhc
these days without a grin on
his face. Whether he's meeting Willy Brandt or pinning a
medal on a boy scout, the
President has tried to appear
buoyant and fresh.
But smiles alone won't
make the Watergate go away.
Nixon is counting heavily on
the ·forthcomin g visit by
Russia's Leonid Brezhnev to
divert public attention from
the Watergate scandal. Nixon
is also considering turning his
White House reception for
POWs into a television spectacular. This again would remind the public of what Nixon regards as his greatest
achievemen t: bringing the
boys home.
Meanwhile, we have talked
to the President's old roommates who remember Nixon.
as a loner but never a quitter
in his college days. Often, he
would get up early and study
before his first class. Seldom
would he miss a class. In the
afternoon, he worked in the
library to pay expenses. After
dinner, he would hit the books
again, often studying late
into the night.
Although his law grades
dropped his second year at
Duke, Nixon didn't lose his
scholarship. During his last
year, he worked his way back
up and graduated third in his
class. In the same way today
he is working his way out of
the Watergate slump.

we're 'news ed' to death
Bill Dwyer defies categorization. The idea of "classifying people into nooks and crannies of journalistic
flattery'' is "pretty embarrassing .. o if not corny" to
him.
Bill (somewhat facetiously) would have us consider him
"just another guy.''
But he is one who admits to having '' talent - a
lot of talent" in the realm of communications.
Theater, journalism, speech, and television broadcasting have all claimed Bill's attention at one time or
another since 1968 when he first started college. But it
is television that occupies his thoughts today.
"I appreciate being able to express ideas to other
people, theatrically," he said, "and television seems the
best way to do it." He approaches TV from a theatrical
angle, because, he said, it allows for audience enjoyment,
understanding and involvement (if only until the moment
an individual turns the channel).
Bill contends that people today are what they watch,
whereas they might have been what they read even a
short time ago. (Wasn't the philosophical notion once
stated that we are what we do?) No, to Bill it follows that
the visual media -influences people not only to BE wh-at
they watch but to DO what they watch. If they watch
mediocrity, they become mediocrity.
He sees television as a means of "communicating
people as themselves" in a visual sense rather than in
_ the abstract sense of printed " ideas, spectacles, or
issues."
He is confident that ''life has a drama all its own
that doesn't have to be injected by the media," It
m1~rely has to be perceived and then interpreted in
a "human'' way. He points out such men as David
Brinkley, Ed Morrow, Harry Riesner who transcend
dry news to become "masters at blowing it as objective
jourmlists." By "sneaking some humanity in there,,' '
he suggests that such individuals might eventually change
the beha vorial patterns of the masses.
Bill's interest is not in gathering ,:news''("Pm not
even sure what 'news' is anymore''). It is in capturing
the humanness and natural drama of average people
doing average things all around us: "honest portrayals,' '
he calls them,
He suspects that "we are all victims of sensory
overloa_do"
Not only are we victimized by our habits of consuming
news by way of newspapers, magazines, radio and TV,
we are victimized by the inability to assimilate all that
informationo
"The most we can handle is the news of one day,
because we're barraged with it all day long. Yesterday's
news is forgotten today: it has to be, We're all ' newsed
to death,' " he feels.
As a second-year TV student, he fluctuates between
a sense of duty as a communicator and the feeling of
being the perpetuator of "an absurd action in an absurd
situation." He refers here to the current problems
of the LCC Broadcasting program: low student enrollm,~nt, a high cost factor, personality conflicts, and the
possible disbanding of the radio and TV programs
within the next two years.
Though "the wind seems to be blowing toward the
disbanding of the programs," he feels compelled to act
to save them. "Confronting a beauracracy may be an
absurd action in an absurd situation, but you still act,
because it's in the act that you recognize your own
humanity.''
He plans to suggest a method to Gerald Rasmussen,
associate dean of instruction, whereby LCC could live
up to what Bill feels is the college's end of the contract
of promising the training and education of broadcasters.
The suggestion calls for the establishment of a threeterm fundamental television workshop for students who
are interested in TV but don't want to pursue the full
program. Bill feels that such a workshop would generate higher student enrollment and would modify the
present requirement that television students participate
in 17 lab-hours each week. •
Bill still accredits·'the Broadcasting program-despite
its current problems - with offering "the student with
personal initiative" an opportunity to "get some very
good training."
And he doesn't doubt that he'll eventually "be one
of the few people in this world who has a job that he
enjoys,'' because no.w M is acquirjng the 4bility to
translate talent into something that is viewabie.
bill dwyer
Bill Dwyer is outspoken, witty and articulate - a
self-proclaimed '' individual doomed to represent point
of view, issue and idea." The following are comments
on the media and his part in "the act":
eon Newspapers...
"Newspapers seem, now, to exist on their own rather

Civilian group trains for search & rescue
by
Cliff
Edgingtonn
Uniforms, inspection, and drill
practice at LCC?
Certainly not the usual fa're, yet
each Monday evening these activities are likely to be discovered in
the vicinity of the Air Technology
Building.
But familiarity with the courtesies and customs of the military is
one part of the wide range of objectives of the Mahl on Sweet Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP).
Organized on a nationwide basis,
CAP is oriented toward a variety
of public services, but especially
emergency situations such as
search and rescue.
As the nam9 implies, aviation is
the biggest common interest. Many
of the members (15 of the 20 seniors), are licensed pilots, anj the
program itself is an auxiliary of
the US Air Force. The CAP is also
structured like an Air Force organization: Each state is designated as a wing (a la._rge unit), which
is then broken down into groups,
squadrons, and, in the case of a
special interest group or one that
is geographically isolated, a flight.
Members are given ranks similar
to those in the Air Force with the
difference being that CAP is a totally civilian organization. CAP
members receive no salaries.
Squadron Commander, Captain
John R. Canfield, explains that the
members of CAP are divid~d into
two groups, Cadets and Seniors.
Cadets, beginning at age 13, follow
a merit system similar to that of
the Boy Scouts and work their way
toward a Senior rating. ''The steps
of the system,'' said Canfield, "are
different from scouting in that the
units are longer and more comprehensive."
Cadets must complete a series of
five steps by studying special
packets concerning aerospace education, moral leadership, physical
fitness, a leadership lab (concerning military customs), and participation in CAP activities.
If, at 18, the Cadet has completed

For the record, the
medicine men went to the
land of the Vikings to attend
a series of professional seminars. In Stockholm, they
were supposed to learn about
"sexual freedom in Sweden."
In Copenhagen, they were
supposed to watch a film
called "The Next Witness."
This made the trip tax
deductible, which means the
taxpayers who stayed home
had to help pay for it indirectly. The seminars were
carefully arranged, however,
so they wouldn't interfere
with sightseeing.
A spokesman described the

an "incentive trip," combining business and pleasure.

HE RESTFUL
afternoon sun gently
warming Australia's outback completely
belies the turbulence, which eons ago,
transformed the face of the continent. Once
a land of pine forests, mountain goats and snow-fed
streams, Australia has changed to a continent that
today houses the strangest array of plant and animal
life found anywhere on Earth.
From the moment I stepped off of my plane and
onto this land down under, I began to feel the
enchantment of Australia. A world which had
existed for me only in books, on film and in the
pages of Natural Geographic had now come alive all
around me.
My host was Dr. Fred Permian, director of
Geographic Studies at the University of Perth. Dr.
Permian's revolutionary theory on the creation of
the Australian Continent as it exists today was
published in an academic journal less than one year
ago. Already, it is generally accepted as the
definitive theory on the evolution of Australia.
As our jeep wound through the outback country,
Dr. Permian explained his theory.
"Up through the last part of the Pleistocene
Epoch, the continent of Australia was pretty much
the same as Europe in both development of life
forms and in geography. Then, about 75,000 years
ago, the planet was beset by a violent magnetic
storm, almost unimaginable in its severity.
"As the storm grew more intense, the gravitational pull of the Earth was interrupted. Of course,
those land areas north of the equator were virtually
unaffected by the loss of gravity because they are on
the top half of the planet. However, those areas on

the bottom half of the Earth did not fare so well.
"During the first few seconds of gravitational
interruption, only smaller animals and loose gravel
fell off. But within a very few minutes, entire
mountain chains were losing their grip and
dropping from their mother Earth. No one can be
sure how long it took the planet to restore its
gravitational pull, but it was obviously before the
entire continent broke free.
·• All other landforms in the southern hemisphere
(except Antarctica) were connected in some way to
their northern neighbors and soon became
repopulated by migrating plant and animal life.
Australia, however, was isolated. This upside-down
island was thus left by itself for the next 750
centuriei to create its own unique life forms."

Dr. Permain slowed our jeep to a halt. .. Ahead of
us lies the Great Victoria Desert," he said.
.. According to my research, the terrain of this area
used to closely resemble that of Switzerland."
l looked at the good doctor skeptically.
Two hours later, we reached the Crown Diggings,
an archeological site frequently visited by students
at the university. "Here at this site," explained Dr.
Permian, .. we discovered a cave which had been the
home of some of the earliest Aboriginal tribesmen.
And inside that cave we discovered an ancient pair
of downhill skis."
It is hard evidence such as this, coupled with the
undeniable facts of Australian life forms
themselves, that has made Dr. Permian's theory so
universally accepted by the scientific community.
From as far away as New Zealand, scientists have
come to study this land, and ultimately to affirm Dr.
Permian's findings.
l did not have to be in Australia for long, before l
began to take on the attitude of the Aussie's around
me. This is a land where everything, including the
visitor, must exist upside-down. Yet in only a few
days, l had completely forgotten that my safety
depended solely on the force of the Earth's gravity.
At first the visitor fears that his shirt-tail may
come out or that all the blood may rush to his head.
But when none of these things happen, he begins to
relax and enjoy the beauty of the countryside.
Australia abounds with the bizarre. Eucalyptus
trees are commonplace. Animals found here include
the kangaroo, wombat, koala and emu. Both the
rabbit and fox were introduced by man. Squirrels
are nowhere to be found. Dr. Permian explains that
when the gravitational interruption occurred,
squirrels were among the first to go. "The squirrels
on the ground fell off almost immediately, and those
clinging to trees simply fell off with the trees."
As I travelled through Austra~ia during the next
few weeks, I was amazed at the general flatness of
the land. Except for the Great Dividing Range near
the continent's western shore, there are no high
mountains. And even the peaks within the Great
Dividing Range lack the elevation of their counterparts in other areas of the globe.
When it was finally time for me to leave Australia,
I felt both sorry and lucky. I was sorry to leave a
country which I had fallen totally in love with, and
lucky to have toured it with a man such as Dr.
Permian. Thanks to the hard work of this dedicated
scientist, man now has a fresh vantage point from
which to view a strange and bountiful continent.
Fourth generation shepherd Al Bonner carries a
hook so he can grab onto something solid in
case the Earth's gravity is again interrupted.

don't believe in taking unnecessary risks.

Ever popular orgy follows feast consisting of two

as this one, held in a forest clearing, help to maintain tribal togetherness and harmony.

bleeding stump of our newfound Chikan Gumbo
friend, Humljtriu (pronounced Sam). For several
weeks we maintained our vigil, caring for the
injured native, hoping he would learn to trust us
enough to lead us to his tribe.
Doctoring an injured man whom you can neither
see nor understand is no easy task. But the result of
this effort proved to be invaluable. Once healed and
able to hop satisfactorily on his ramaining foot, the
indebted H umljtriu led us to his people.
The Chikan Gumbo are a nomadic tribe. They do
not maintain villages or even temporary huts. In the
warmth of summer, they sleep open on the forest
floor. In winter they .seek the protection of caves
hidden within the dense underbrush of Gifford
Pinchot.
Invisible People Are Hard to See
Since only the Chikan Gumbo can see other

speak.
"Mi trehis: Afti i treli anthropi thelun na mas
meletisun. lne fili mu. Argotera tha tus
magirepsume ke lha ginun kalo gevma." Of course,
we could only guess at what he was saying. The
language of the Chikan Gumbo was as unfamiliar as
Greek to ·our untrained ears.
It was not long before we gained the tribe's
confidence. On the third day of our stay with the
Chikan Guqibo, I was invited to accompany them
on a hunt for food which would be followed by a
great feast.
To my surprise, the natives began crisscrossing
the forest with trails of $20 bills. At the junction of
the several trails, they dug a pit, covering it with
148
limbs and grass. Before very long, two hikers, a
hunter and a forest ranger were in the pit, and in a
. few hours, the great feast ensued.
Tribal Legend Explained
When I asked where they had secured all that
cash, Pjtyuhne (pronounced Liz), a woman of about
30 and the only Chikan Gumbo who could speak
any English, related this popular tribal legend:
"One night pale god fall with small white cloud
from sky. He have 10 thousand magic green leaves
in suitcase. Pale god make good feast for Chikan
Gumbo. Magic leaves bring many feasts since."
Other staples in the ~ative diet are roots, berries,
wild hickory nuts and many edible parts of the pine
tree.
Unfortunately, only ten days after we had met the
Invisible People of Gifford Pinchot, they silently
moved on to another part of the forest. We awoke
one morning to find they had vanished- without
leaving a trace.
Today, as I look back at my stay with the Chikan
Gumbo; l can still feel the excitement of that first
encounter with Humljtriu. It was then that I began
to start feeling a kinship with these shy, yet loving
people.
Goodbye to Martha
Perhaps this first meeting with the outside world
(other than to fill dietary needs) will mark the beginning of the end of the Chikan Gumbo. Perhaps the
intrusion of scientist-explorers ·and the inevitable
crush of an expanding civilization will eventually
destroy them.
But more likely, and certainly more hopefully,
our meeting will help all men to better understand
one another and will, in turn, give man the knowledge to preserve rather than destroy the ·Invisible
People of Gifford Pinchot National Forest. For
that, Humljtriu's right leg seems a small price to
pay, indeed.

On the seventh night of our stay with them, a
member of the tribe came into my tent and stole
Martha. Even though she was a pleasant woman
and had been kind to me during our 17 years of
marriage, I knew that making trouble over her
disappearance would have served no useful
purpose. The Chikan Gumbo are a·tolerant people
and have no word in their language for kidnapping.

finally found the Invisible People of Gifford
Pinchot. We had found the Chikan Gumbo.
For two months our party had been trampling
through the dense timberland of the Gifford
Pinchot National Forest in search of a people
thought to be the last remaining undiscovered tribe
on the North American Continent. And for two
months we had found nothing- no tracks, no
campfires, simply no trace. l was beginning to think,
as so many already did, that the Chikan Gumbo
were nothing more than myth.
So it was not without some excitement, that on
the night before the screams, our Skamanian guide,
dishwasher and .pack carrier, Ralph, found human
footprints on the bank of a nearby creek.
Although little information had been previously
known about these invisible tribesmen other than
that they were hard to see, it had always been widely
held that they did leave footprints if they walked
across soft surfaces.

campsite. Then I tied up Ameille, our National Geographic photographer and the camp's only admitted
sleepwalker. If there were tracks in the concrete by
sunup, I'd know we were closing in on the Chikan
Gumbo.
The screaming started at · about 4: 15 that
morning. When I reached the camp's perimeter, I
could tell by the footprints that the situation was
serious. One of the tribesmen had obviously stood
too long in one spot, his right foot becoming firmly
imbedded in the setting concrete. Unable to loosen
the invisible native by hand and unable to find our
camp sledgehammer, I was forced to free him with
my ax.
As morning nears Gifford Pinchot, the forest
comes alive. Initially, there is a calm, more still than
the night. Then the birds begin. Sparrow, robin,
lark, crow and, of course, the legendary blackheaded grosbeak all blend their voices to celebrate
the approaching dawn. Soon the sound of
scampering chipmunks and falling cones joins the
gentle rush of a restless morning breeze, refreshing
the damp night air of the woods.
So it was as my wife, Martha, and I bandaged the

carefully inched toward the nest. .. We must
not frighten them or they will hide," my guide had
warned. "And if they hide, you will get no pictures,
and without pictures you will lose your job."
My objective lay just three yards ahead. Wild
cooties.
The very mention ofthe words conjures images of
freedom, excitement, color and delicate beauty. Yet
the sad truth is that according to most experts, the
wild cootie as we know it faces almost certain
extinction. Unlike other threatened species,
however, the cootie's enemy is neither man nor
beast. The cootie's enemy is itself.
The irony of nature. In her glory she creates and
renews life. In her fury she stomps on that which she
has created.
Evolution is overwhelming the cootie.
In the early months of 1972, scientists noted that
cooties were beginning to give birth to larger and
more durable offspring. As these offspring matured,
they began reproducing , more numbers like
themselves. Today, only one in twenty cootie births
result in a .bug which resembles its ancestors, and
unless this trend can be reversed, experts predict the
last of the original wild cooties will disappear before
the end of this century.
Unfortunately, little is actually known about the
cootie, and much of what is known appears
contradictory. One of the few remaining herds of
unevolved cooties makes its home near Leroy,
North Dakota. Entomologists there are desperately
trying to - unravel the secrets of these fragile
creatures in order to understand why the drastic
evolutionary changes are taking place.
One of the most studied- and undoubtedly least
understood- habits of the cootie is its quadrennial
mass march on Illinois.
Cooties are ordinarily submissive animals, yet
every leap year they trek across land and sea to
gather in huge herds just outside the Chicago
suburb of Oak Lawn. Then at 6 a.m. on September
8th, as if on cue, they swarm into Chicago and
descend on the Parker Brothers factory there.
Within two hours, every monopoly game in the city
has been devoured and the cooties, again tranquil,
return home.
Such odd behavior is typical of cooties and seems
to be reflected in man's attitude toward them. In
•Although the new breed of cootie is flightless,
it is larger and apparently heartier than its
endangered ancestors. Scientists believe the
switch from antennae to ears to be the most
significant change in the animal.
Natin (opposite page) prepares a cootie meal ina
manner which ·has been used in his family for
generations. Many people refuse to eat the meat
ot evolved cooties, believing them to be
enchanted, so the poaching of older cooties

Subsid ized student transportation consid ered ' The Thief Who
The possibility of free transportation ,for all LCC students was
discussed at a May 14 ASL CC Budget Priority meeting. It was given
fourth priority, following legal aid,
student health services, and child
care.
One of two methods could be
used to fund the free transportation to LCC students. The ASL CC
Senate could buy bus tokens from
the Lane Transit District (LTD)
for a 20 per cent discount and
distribute them to student body
members. Or, the buses could be
chartered for use by student body
members: If the buses were chartered, LTD w o u Id be charging

Rynerson, administrative assistant for planning for LTD.
Senator-at-Larg e Steve Leppanen originally discussed free transportation at a recent Senate meeting. His suggestion would allow •
"any memher of the LCC student
body full transfer privileges anywhere on LTD lines by presenting
their student body card."
Leppanen discussed the possibility of student transportation with
by Bill
~tllitfu
LCC Director of Institutional Research and Planning M;uston Morgan, who has done some previous
work with LTD concerning · possible use of tokens or passes which
could be purchased by students at
discount rates of 20 per cent. •
However, this plan was never pursued to completion.
According to the study Morgan
conducted, 64 per cent of those

amnesty att,itude
Many LCC students will soon
be asked by poll to express their .
views on the issue of amnesty
by LCC's chapter of the Vietnam
Veterans Against the War (VVAW).
The poll, according to Dan Deneen, president of the LCC chapter
of VV AW, is designed to help the
VVAW understand the attitudes of
LCC student about amnesty.
Deneen continued that the poll
specifically deals with how students feel about deserters, and,
those who avoided the draft, and
if students believe these "exiles"
should be allowed to return. Further, Daneen wants to find out·
what should happen to these menwhat type of punishment or alternatives would students give
these returnees, if any?
He said the VVA W hopes to use
this and other information to get
an overall picture of this areas'
attitudes on "deserters and avoiders."
The poll is to be conducted Tuesday, May 29.

The scene, of course, is all conjecture, but one can only believ
that "The Thief'' is the result of just such a mechanical; calculatin
appraoch to film production.
The film is directed by Norman Lear and co-produced by Bu
Yorkin and the screenplay is by Walter Hill.
"The Thief'' is basically the old "Sophisticated Jewel Thief
story, revived and revised. Superficial changes are thrown in to freshe
the plot a bit, and add an element of that popular commodity "releva.nce, '
but its all window dressing for an old and shopworn idea.
Ryan O'Neil plays Webster McGraw, a computer programme
who is fed up with the hypocrisy he see's around him .. McGraw feel.
that everyone is stealing from everyone else (relevance) so he quit
his job to become an "honest thief" - one who steals jewels fron
the rich and gives to (presumably) himself.
In the process he (of course) m; kes fools of the entire Hustm
police force, all of it's richer citizens, his ex-wife and a plodding pri
vate detective, played by Warren Oates. The only person he doesn'
hum~.liate is his fashonable girlfriend (Jacqueline Bisset).
The dialogue revolves on an epithet - son-of-a-bitch - whicl
the producers assure, is hilariously funny, especially if it's repeate< .

"The Thief" is·. also jam-packed with puns, both visual and verbal,
planted apparently to assure plenty of yuks from the yokels. (Ex-•

right?)
In short, "The Thief Who Came To Dinner" is engineered as
a sure-fire box office success.
It won't make it in my opinion because it insults the viewer' ~
intelligence with overplanning and dressing up. Sort of a film versior
of the Edsel.

criticism of another com:nittee's
attempt to weaken Oregon's bicycle law which allocates one per·
cent of the state's highway money
for bicycle and pedistrian trails.
In a press release last week
from the office of Representative
Nancy Fadeley, it was reported
that the H o us e Transportation
Com mfttee adopted amendments to
HB 2644, a bill relating to bicycle safety, ''so it would increase the number of communities
which are exempt from the pathbuilding requirement.''
Rep. Fadeley (D-Lane), Environment Committee chairperson,
pointed out that these \amendments
proposed by Rep. William Markham (R-Riddle) had been previously rejected by the House Environ- ,

Monday's ; double meeting was a result of this

by Sheila Rose •
Dr. Eldon Schafer, LCC president and Douglas Cudahey, an LCC
student and Oregon Community College Student Association campus
coordinator - were recently elected chairman and vice-chairman,
respectively, -of the Oregon Community College Association's (OCCA)
Coordinating Committee.
OCCA is comprised of all 13 Oregon community collges, and serves
as a communication link between the schools. OCCA also represents
community colleges before the state legislature. The Association holds
five separate statewide sections: College boards of Education, administrations, classified staffs, faculty, and students. The coordinating
committee is composed of four elected officials from each section.
Schafer is also president of the administrative section, and
Cudahey is also publicity director of the student section (OCCSA).
Schafer sees the function of the 20-member council, ideally, as
being the representative voice of the state's community college::;,
o::::cA should be "speaking out on major issues where there is congruence" among all the sections, he said. What should be avoided,
Schafer continued, is for the OCCA to be ' ' used as an element to come
back on local (school) boards."
Cudahey voiced agreemi~nt and added that resolutions passed by
the group were only "recomm,~ndations-not directives." But Cudahey
added that local boards should consider that any resolutions passed
by the group have been studied by a great cross-section of the states
community college system, who have "confronted that problem from
many different sides."
Because of this, Cudahey feels OCCA resolutions should receive
more recognition. He accused local boards of sometimes being ''out
of touch."
New structures for OCCA and the Coo:rdinating Committee are
currently being explored. "It hasn't always functioned well," said
Schafer.
One suggestion, made by Dr. Frederick Boyle of Central Oregon ,
Com:, mnity College, was to expand the size of the Coordinating Committee to 39, with three representatives from ,3ach school. Sections
would receive membership on th-3 council on a totating basis.
Another suggestion has been to make conventions into "subjectmatter oriented discussions," said . Schafer. But "it's wide open for
suggestions," he said.
•
Cudahey said his main concern over structural changes is that
students maintain equal representation and voting power with all
other sections.
Cl~ss to present
light show for
Spring Arts '73
One of the features of this w,aak' s
Sp ring A:·ts ' 73 will be the contribution of light show techniques
le arned in an art cl ass.
Under the direc tion of Jim L esan, members of Harold Hoy's Basi c
Design cl ass are learning the art
of production and presentat ion of
phantasmagoria (light shows).
Lesan , founder anj co-owne r
of the inte rna tio:ially known Phantasmagoria Light Show, volunteered hi s servi ces and expertise
in response to a suggestion to Hoy
by Spring Arts Committee Chairman Steve Leppanen, a friend of
Lesan's. The show will be presented this Friday night in the
south parking lot. " Projectable
light shows,'' said Lesan, '' is the
presentation of non-photographic
images. Light shows are not new
to this generation, they've been
around since the 1880's when there
existed the 'magic lantern,' somi3thing like a modern slide ·projector."
Lesan feals th':lt light shows
are unsuccessful because they are
incorrectly managed and presented. This is one of the reasons he
volunteered his' knowledge of the
• medium to the project, along with
approximately $2,000 of specially
modified equipment which he construded himself.
Various forms of light shows
are being used in ballet and theater, in addition to rock concerts,
(Lesan has presented his show with
Jimi Hendrix, Big Brother etc.)
to coordinate mood attitude and to
give images to moods with, for
example, religious, natural, and
psychedelic program themE\3.

Veterans in college on a halftime basis can now be tutored; VA
will pay veterans up to $50 a month

Veterans Affairs Donald E. Johnson said there is no charge against
the veteran's basic GI Bill entitlement when the Vet uses the tutorial
assistance.
In a newsletter published by the
Veterans Administration last week,
veterans were reminded that under
the GI Bill single veterans receive
$220 per month, up to a maximum of
36 months of school attendance, or
a total of $7,920, for educational

Ackerman quits LCC Board
One of the first electeC: members
of the LCC Board of Edu c: ation,
Robert L. Ackerman, re~·i gned his
position May 9.
Ackerman, who represents zone
three (M~_rcola, Springfield, and
McKenzie), was elected to the
Board in July of 1965. His term
of office was to expire June 30,_
/Application deadline set for Friday
J
Only 430 students have applied for a diploma, certificate or degree,
according to Graduation Committee Member Jeanie Snyder.
Students who wish to receive a document showing proof of graduation
from LCC must apply at the Student Records Office by May 28. However,
graduating students who wish to participate in LCC's graduation ceremonies must apply to the Student Records Office by May 21 .
The graduation ceremonies, scheduled for Sunday, June 3, are in the
final stages of planning according to committee members.
The committee recently received confirmation that Fourth District
Congressman John Dellenback would speak at the commencement, as
will LCC President Eldon Schafer 1 LCC Board of Education Chairman
Robert Mention and ASLCC President Jay Bolton.
Prior to the ceremonies LCC's Baroque Orchestra will perform in
the Forum Bldg. under the direction of Nathan Cammack. Also, a Dixieland jaz'7. band, provided by Eugene's Musicians Society, will play following the ceremonies while graduates and ther guests enjoy a dessert hour.
1973, but due to change r:1ade by
the l egislature it was exter!ded for
an additional year .
In his letter of resignation, Ack erman stated that he had not pl anned to seek re-election and that
he had " undertaken additional personal and professional committm11nts which would not permit
an additional year on the Boar d. "
' ' Further, I feel it is time for
another voice to be heard from my
area with respect to the issues
facing Lane Community College,"
he wrote. Ackerman was the voice
for zone three for eight years.
Robert Mention, "'L C C Board
chairman, said he understood Ac kerman's increased business activities, although he is sorry to ~ee
Ackerman leave the Board.
Mention described Ackerman as
a man. who was accessable to people: one from whom people felt
they cold get help.
LCC President Eldon Schafer
termed his reaction as one of
"disappointment, but understanding." He added that Ackerman has
been a '' re a 1 strength to the
Board.''
At this time, the Board has
made no decision for a process
for selecting a replacement for
Ackerman, but Mention said he will
reccommend the Board consider
applications from interested persons in zone three, and then ap.point someone to fill the one year
vacancy.
.Ackerman lives in Springfield
with his two children and is a
partner in the law firm, Babcock
and Ackerman. He is active in
community affairs and in 1968
received a distinguished service
award and was designated Springfield's Junior First Citizen.

Out of a field of 23 teams,
ranging from eommunity colleges
through universi ty level teams,
Lane Community College finished
in 11th place with 12 points.
All of Lane's points were supplied by the comhination of Judy
Heidenrich in the javelin and Penny Shoop in the high jumJ. Both
placed third in their events, with
Penny setting a school record of
5 feet 2 inches in her event.
Beth Boehmer, normally one
of Lane's stronrrast and most consistent perform ers, finished out of
the m::mey in the mile and the
3,000 meters. Teammates said
cramps and a charley horse caused her to run much slower than
her planned pace.
Lane's mile relay team, in their
first race of the year, finished
fifth in a non-scoring exhibitio:i
race. (Tue mile relay is to be
added to the events for the womtm's
track meets for the next year and
th-3 220 yard hurdles will also be
replaced by the 440 yard hurdles.)
According to sprinter Sue Bundrant, the track at Flathead Community College in Kalisbel l, Montana, where the meet was held,
co:isisted of packed dirt, the javelin runway consisted of ' ' a run
across a road into a lumpy field,''
and a long jump pit had a landing area of asphalt with a sand
overlay.
Flathead CC won the meet with
100 points followed by Oregon State
with 67, and Sim) 'J Fraser of

finished in eleventh place with

Roma Kwong-M.m Au, a foreign student from Hong Kong, died
Saturday in the Fern Ridge Reservoir as a result of a swimming
accident.
Au, 22 year old pre-med major, and seven other friends were
swimming at Perkins Penninsula. when the accident occured: According
to an eye witness, Au and two other men, also students at LCC, were
in the water when tw 1J of the students started to return to shore and
noticed that Au was not returning with them.
One of the men then returned to check, found Au floating on his
back, unconcious, and summoned help. With the help of the other men
Au was brought to shore.
No phones were available but fortunately a L ane County Sheriff
came by. An ambulance was_ called taking about twenty minutes to
reach the scene, according to Jennie Li, one of the group of students. During this time first aid
was being administered .
The ambulance attendants were
unable to revive Au with resuscitation techniques available to ·
them. He was taken to the Eugene
Hospital and Clinic where he was
pronounced dead on arrival.
Friends report that Au was a
very good swimmer. According to
Ms. Li, "Rom':!. was probably the
best swimmer of us all."
Au was a Roman Catholi::: since '

MAG1ZINE OFlFiEAIR
The fall of 1971 was when THE MAGAZINE OF THE AIR made
it's debut on KZEL-FM, Sundays at noon.
THE MAGAZINE OF THE AIR, now in it's second season has
an impressive past index of guests including actors,
actresses, polit'icians, loggers, craftsmen, housewives,
ppets, gardeners and many more people of diverse backgrounds and occupations, all communicating their ideas
in an entertaining way.
Produced by Gary Palmatier, THE MAGAZINE OF THE AIR offers
the community -the use of the KZEL-FM facilities and

BULLETIN BOARD has always been on KZEL-FM and is the catchall for
community events, news and services not covered in the SWITCHBOARD
REPORT.
The SWITCHBOARD REPORT is broadcast live from Switchboard during
BULLETIN BOAR~ and offers and finds rides for people, helps them
locate their lost pets, or homes for surplus pet~, or a job, or
a place to live. BULLETIN BOARD with SWITCHBOARD REPORT has become a vital service to our community.
Early in 1971 KZEL-FM introduced a public affairs program called ART PEARL vs. THE WORLD. The show was the
result of an idea of Dr. Pearl, a noted professor at
the University of Oregon.
The idea was to create a ~omfortable atmosphere for the
discussion ind free exchange of ideas relative to the
problems facing our society.
When Dr. Pearl left the university, the show's name was
changed to THE AMERICAN CIRCUS and Gratten Kerans is
now the host but the theme of the program remains the
same.
Guests on THE AMERICAN CIRCUS have ranged from top local
and state politicians and administrators to students and
firm workers with topics covering a broad spectrum of
public interest.
THE AMERICAN CIRCUS is broadcast 1 ive on KZEL-FM (96.1)
from the Bavarian Restaurant at 444 E. 3rd in Eugene
every Wednesday evening between 7:00 and 8:00PM. The
public is invited to attend.
