Faculty chooses OEA
as bargaining agent'
A final ballot count yesterday left the Oregon Education Association (OE.n) as the faculty collective bargaining agent over
the .n.merican Federation of Teachers (A.FT) by a tally of 127 to 104.
The faculty's choice of the OEA as it's agent will be finalized
in five days, as long as no election complaints are filed.
The decision Monday ends a month-long wait for a majority
winner. The Administration had challenged 68 votes on the grounds
that those faculty members were supervisors or part-time employees. Neither the OEA nor AFT was a winner. Yesterday, a compromise decision was reached at a hearing conducted by the Public
Employees Relations Board (PERB) between the faculty and Administration, in which part-time instructors and depar_tmental
chairmen and some supervisors were .allowed to have their votes
couht. There were still 14 votes left inelligible, representing persons who work less than half-time and who have no Board of
Education contracts.
Before the actual ballot count Don Willner, the attorney representing the i.1.merican Federation of Teachers (AFT), questioned
the College's representative, Lon Mills, about bargaining unit
membership. Willner asked if the College's acceptance of superviso_rs' votes was also an acceptance of these supervisors as part
of the faculty bargaining unit. "The College is taking a deceptive

LCC student Julia Pommert who was informed
last week that she would no longer be able to attend the Men's Soccer class in which she was
enrolled, has since been re-instated in the class.
According to Ms. Pommert, she was told
by P.E. Department head Dick Newell last week
that she was being dropped from the class because ·it was listed as a men only class and should
be men only, and that the school could possibly
be liable for any injury she might incur while
in the class.
But a meeting between Newell and his P.E.
staff held Tuesday, recommended to Ms. Pommert,
according to a memo to her from Newell, that
she '' should not enroll in the . . . men's soccer
class because of potential safety problems and
because of the combative nature of the course;
but if you choose to take the men's ... soccer
class you understand that no modification or
alteration in the rules and skill progression
will be made to adjust to your presence in the
class ... " Ms. Pommert commented that she
never asked that any adjustment be made in
the class.
The memo continued, '' that you understand
that some schools will not accept this physical

education credit as a part of their requirement
(the University of Oregon has said that they
would accept this credit), and that the Department does not consider this to be a precedentsetting situation and will evaluate all of it's courses
and programs to determine their suitability to be
offered on a co-ed basis before publishing it's yearly
schedule.' '
Ms. Pommert said that perhaps if the P.E.
Department "is given enough time to plan a
class, or give consideration to letting members
of the opposite sex into a class, they will be
much more eager to consider a co-ed class or
fill a particular person's needs, tha n if it is
brought to them at the last minute.,., She added,
"I think alot of hassle could have been dealt
with alot less emotionally" if the situation had
been brought to them earlier.
Commenting on the class itself, she said,
that because of the publicity, "they (the men
in my class) are all quite aware that I'm a
woman.' '
Ms. Pommert said that although she was
told that she would not be held responsible for
missing last week, '' I did miss some important
aspects of soccer, so I'm taking the class on
a pass-no-pass.'' And, regardless, she said, "I'm
going to be behind the rest of the class.' '

125 nursing students enrolled at
LCC.
"Our main gripe,' ' one nursing student said, ' ' is that we
have no place to gripe."
The six nursing students interviewed last week by the
TORCH contend that they have
a genuine fear of being labled
"trouble-makers,' '
and consequently dropped from the program.
Vicky McAnultyc om plained
that "there is no written criteria
to say a student may be put on
probation before being terminated from the program, or telling
the student how to a void termination.' '
But Estelle Singleton, a Nursing Department chairperson, said
a case of probation like this
one may never come up again,
so there will be no reason to
write a policy for probation, because the ' ' rules will be strictly
adhered to." The rule is that
a student must maintain a 2.00
(C grade) average or above in
order to stay in the program.
But nursing grades are awarded
differently than grades in other
departments she said.
'' There are many things about
. the Nursing program that people
on this campus do not understand," Ms. Singleton admitted.
"a nursing student has to learn
something and immediately apply
this new knowledge. The student's
cognitive knowledge becomes
'how to use it safely.' The student isn't evalu·a ted with a
grade -- the information learned
cannot be measured by a GPh,
but has to be evaluated by how
the st u ct en t uses the learned
knowledge.'
But one of the six students
said, "We live under all this
pressure. We are constantly afraid we will be kicked out of the
program be ca us b somebody
doesn't like us. Instructors make

things more difficult for us instead of counseling us and trying to help us cope with the added pressures. We really feel
like we have no where to go for
help."
According to hnnette Newman,
director of internal training at
Sacred Heart Hospital, "any
nursing course has to be a very
demanding course because nurses deal with life and death. There
lias to be a degree of pressure
in any nursing course. It sounds
like there are communication
problems and a lot of misconceptions with the LCC nursing students,'' she conjectured.
The six students said that at
one time last term, they did have
a student meeting and were prepared to go to Jack Carter,
dean of students, with their grievances. But Carter is reported
to have said the students were
not following proper procedure
and should meet first with Ms.
Singleton . If they could not get
satisfaction from a meeting with
her, he said, they should then
come to him.
'' If there are still genuine fears
of personality conflicts within the
department,
I think Ne should ·
get together and get that settled,''
Carter said Monday. Carter went
on to say that he is willing to
talk with any student about complaints. But· the students did not
follow through -- they could not
get a convenient appointment with
Ms. Singleton, they said.
"We want to be nurses so
badly," one of the students said,
''with every fibre of our being,
and we feel insecure with all
this pressure on us. But we have
to complete the program and
we are willing to do anything
to get through it.'' one of the
students said.
Another student explained that

Little Caesar Salad Gets Served

Scene: The hideout of The Little

Zwieback: It's been 40 days,
Chief, since you promised to

Committee of Untouchables. You
think they maybe getting a weensy

Caesar (angrily): Why should
they? I'm still promising to cooperate as fully as I've always
promised to cooperate fully.
Eclair: That's right, Chief.
I've assured Mr. Cress that you
are painstakingly going through
and sorting out all the evidence
against you. And as soon as you
find enough to prove yourself innocent, you will gladly turn it
over to the committee of ·your
own free will.
Caesar: What could be fairer
than that? Like I said, I'd die
before I'd withhold evidence from

the committee -- preferably of
old age.
Zwieback: I've told everybody
the evidence will prove you innocent, Chief. The trouble is, the
committee wants the other 90 per
cent, too.
Caesar: No way. It is the duty
of the Caesar to uphold the rights
of the Caesarship. And I will

Cress (grimly): You can'tduck
this subpoena, Caesar. You'll
have to turn over all the evidence against you.
Caesar: But I've only had 40
days to look for it. What's happened to the great American system of justice I have come to
know and love?

Mr. Cress, that we will comply
fully with those sections- of yours

Fighting Back
by Jack Anderson
W.o.SHING TON- -The guerrilla tactics of the Symbionese Liberation
army have Washington officials worried. They have spent the past
two decades developing counter-insurgency tactics. American Special
Forces are quietly helping governments around the world fight
guerrillas, who in the past have always operated in the jungles or
the mountains or other remote hideouts.
But the Symbionese Liberation ..\.rmy is typical of a new breed of
guerrillas. They make their hideouts right in the hearts of our great
cities.
They stage daring assassinations, kidnappings and bank
robberies in crowded neighborhoods. Then they disappear, not into
the brush, but into the ghettos.
Both the FBI and the Pentagon are studying how to cope with this
new menace. Clearly, the urban guerrillas are radicals who are
willing to jeopardize innocent lives to achieve their revolutionary
aims. The counter-insurgency tactics of the jungles simply won't
work in the crowded cities.
Our tacticians, therefore, are devising new means to fight the
urban guerrillas and stop the terrorism.
Hughes Connection: Phantom billionaire Howard Hughes may yet
be the downfall of President Nixon. The relationship goes back to
the 1950s. The l ate Drew Pearson and I dug out the fact that Hughes
had loaned Nixon's brother Don $205,000 with only a $13,000 lot as
collateral. The scandal contributed to Richard Nixon's defeat for
president in 1960 and for governor of California in 1-962.
Despite these bad political burns, the Nixons seemed unable to
keep away from Hughes. Don Nixon continued to consort with
Hughes aides after his brother moved into the White House in 1969.
On August 6, 1971, we revealed that Hughes had secretly siphoned
$100,000 from his Nevada gambling operations for the President.
The cash was delivered in two $50,000 bundles to the President's
friend, Bebe Rebozo, at Key Biscayne and San Clemente.
I told Senate Watergate investigators all I knew about the payoff.
I told them Rebozo had distributed the money to the President's
secretary and the Nixon family. I also reported that the President
had full knowledge of the whole affair. For proof, I suggested that
the President's personal attorney, Herb Kalmbach, be questioned
under oath.
The Watergate investigators followed my suggestion and they
now have Kalmbach's sworn testimony. Ihavealso given the committee additional corroborative evidence.
This could prove that the $100,000 cash gift was intended, not as a
campaign contribution as Rebozo has claimed, but as part of a personal slush fund for the President.

this cause. Where does he and
Ed Barrett get their information?
There were no polls taken or no
vote taken. In your only letter
to the editor, Paul Bachus wrote
to support freedom of choice.
1 happen to view unions as half
of big business. Witness the history of all the major unions.
They start off with a noble cause

Secondly, where does Ed Barrett get off writing about people
who talk and don't act. Where is
the Ed Barrett recycling center ?
The number one reason there is
no recycling center at LCC is
bec ause it is not an administration priority. Just like electric

just as easy for students to

Previous TORCH editorials have spoken about the importance
of the upcoming student body elections. Now we see developments
that show just how important it is to choose leaders who will serve
students' best interests.

The Student h.wareness Center budget is over $3,000 in the hole,
the Legal hid budget is in a state of confusion, and the Student Body
Treasurer is saying, "We'll figure it out." Our question is, "When
will they figure it out?' '
The Treasurer, David Mahoney, says he knows there are requisitions that have been processed without his lrnowledge--but that
an audit of the books is unnecessary because it would only show
where the discrepancies are. Well, . that's all we want to know.
The Treasurer also tells us that there is $5,000 in the Club
Promotions line item of the budget. However, Business Office
records show a deficit of over $4,000 in this account. The Treasurer explains this by saying that $6,000 was deposited into this account with the adoption of the new aSLCC budget in November.
That would, at best, leave only $2,000 in the account -- another
$3,000 discrepancy.
So far, without any investigation, we find over $6,000 in discrepancies between student body records and Business Office
records. i1.nd the Treasurer says that we don't need an audit.
We contend that an audit is necessary -- and should be done
before the elections, so students will know just what happen€d to
their missing funds.
Once an audit is accomplished we will know how our money
has been managed, by whom, and for what.
Many of the student leaders this year have left LCC. But many
still remain. We have the right to know how they have served us,
and will serve us in the future.

"Prices will be adjusted on the Romaine and Butter lettuce items in order to reflect the additional cost to food
services . . . " according to an April 15 memo from Jf!rry
Fischer, LCC fiscal officer. Small tossed salads will be repriced from 30 cents to 50 cents, and chef's salads repriced
from 85 cents to $1.15. In addition, Fischer's memo stated
that, "When we cannot get this (UFW) lettuce ... other uses
of lettuce will be discontinued (such as lettuce on sandwiches,
etc.)."

This move is necessary, according to Merlin ames, head
of Food Services, because Romaine and Butter lettuce require
about 200 per cent more handling (because they are open
leafed) and yield 75 per cent less bulk. Ames said that in
addition to the increased handling the lettuce now available
costs 75 cents more per case (two dozen heads) and that

John Loeber selected
197 4~75 TORCH editor

by Media Commission
More "general campus news" and a "news magazine
format" are the aims of John Loeber, recently selected
as 1974-75 editor of the LCC TORCH.
.
Loeber, given a unanimous vote of support by the LCC
Media Commission after its vote between three candidates
for the post on Wednesday, April 17, said, "I intend to continue
the advertising ratio at 30 per cent, but I would like to develop
the paper into a newsmagazine style with many more pictures,
graphics, and new layout formats so as to focus attention on
relevant news contained there in.''
Columns written by students are another possibility Loeber
mentioned. He said, '' I would like to extend an invitation to all
interested persons who would like to become involved in publication of the TORCH.'' He added that input or criticism
from TORCH readers will be welcome.
Loeber said, "I intend to rely on the Editorial Board
extensively in decision-making on the paper." He said that
no plans have been made yet for a summer issue of the TORCH
because it is still uncertain how large the staff will be.
Loeber was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, and raised
in Califorhia. A.fter dropping-out of high school, he joined the
Marines and spent 46 months in radar and communications.
He then lived for six months as a hunter and trapper in the
Yukon.
Loeber moved to Hermosa Beach, California, and opened
an art gallery called the C.D. Rail. Eventually he came: to
Oregon, where he attended LCC and studied electrical engineering.
During this time Loeber worked as the first Student Health
Coordinator for LCC and heloed develop the present student

Kissinger Coup Coming?: The stage is
set for Henry Kissinger to pull off another .
of his patented miracles. Within a few
months, if all goes as planned, he will
normalize relations ,between the United
States and India.
The love-hate ·relationship between the
United States and India is one of the enduring ironies of modern times.
The
two nations are the world's largest democracies.
Yet they have usually been
at odds.
The lowest point came just
two years ago during the India-Pakistan
conflict.
We published top-secret documents revealing that the Nixon hdministration was
tilting toward the Pakistan dictatorship.
Indo-hmerican affairs hit bottom when
President Nixon personally ordered a halt
in economic aid to New Delhi.
In recent months, however, relations
have slowly improved.
American diplomats have hinted that the United States
might be willing, if requested, to resume
economic aid. The Indians have quietly let Washington know they are interested. hlready, over $75 million has
been set aside for India, provided that
agreements can be worked out. For one
thing, American diplomats want to establish an nmerican naval base on the
Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia.
Now the stage is set for Kissinger
to fly to New Delhi for face-to-face
discussions with Indian leaders.

Wasteful Ways: The Federal Energy
Office is worried that Americans are returning to their wasteful ways now that
the Arab oil embargo has. been lifted.
Conservation practices are still essential
to prevent shortages.
There is also a danger that the Middle
East negotiations will break down and that
the oil embargo will be reimposed. Intelligence reports claim that the suicide
raid on an Israeli village by Arab extremists was deliberately staged to provoke Israel into reprisals that would
scuttle the peace talks. They came dangerously close to achieving their goal.
The United States, meanwhile, is drifting into greater dependency on Middle East
oil. Strategists have warned that the Nixon
Administration isn't doing enough to develop new sources of energy. This could
lead to an acute crisis, they claim,
by the end of the decade.
The financial crisis may become even
worse than the energy crisis. President
Nixon's own top economists have warned
privately that the United States economy
cannot stand the multibillion-dollar financial drain that it will cost to buy
enough oil to keep the country going du ring

by John Loeber
"We are all potential victims
of oppression," was the message
brought to Eugene by radical
leader Angela Da ~is.
Ms. Davis, who is widely known
for her trial in 1972 on charges
of murder, kidnapping and conspiracy, spoke for the National
Alliance against Racist and Political Repression at the U of 0
on Friday. Her speeches were
punctuated by standing ovations
and cheers as she commented on
the state of civil rights inamerica.
"For those of youwhoseewhat
is happening, give serious thought
to who the real criminals are,''
she said, "it is clear that there
is something fundamentally
wrong.' '
Commenting on her conspiracy
trial and it's relation to oppression she said that the m-edia had
made a "celebration" of the
fairness of her trial. But she
pointed out that it had cost hundreds of thousands· of dollars
in legal fees and expenses to
counter the 400 government witnesses and to create enough public pressure. Merely having a bail
set was exhaustive. She said the
jurors had had a political, rather
than legal experience, and were
"forced to deal with their own
racism" and that "the most important victory was to put the
prosecutor on the defense.''
Ms. Davis went on to state,
"I vigorously maintain that I
didn't get a fair trial,'' because
of ra.cism, government resources
and media coverage which was
biased.
Ms. Davis also spoke about the
"Zebra" killer-- the San Francisco male, described as a Black
man of about 25, who is believed
to be responsible for shootings

tioned why Alioto hadn't ordered
a stop and frisk for the Zodiac
killer. She added that she finds
"transhistorical parallels" between the Nazi take-over ofGermany and current U.S. problems.
In another example of oppression, Ms. Davis said that North
Carolina is a "disaster area,"
with the greatest number of involuntary sterilizations in the
country, (1,623 between 1960 and
1968) , and the greatest number
of state and federal prisons (89)
She pointed out that at Butner,
N.C. a new $13.5 million correctional research center for behavioral modification is being developed for federal prisoners.
and she said that Samuel Poole
(a Black man) received the mandatory death sentence for first
degree burglary in North Carolina this year, saying, "I have
to think about Egil Krogh who
committed first degree burglary in Los angeles (in Daniel
Ellsberg' s psychiatrist's office)
and was
sent e n c e d to six

months," and wondered if he
would have gotten the death penalty if he was in North Carolina.
During a question and answer
period Ms. Davis made these
comments:
• She does not feel that the
Democratic Party is a suitable
vehicle for political change or
any social change. She feels the
Communist Party will be the organization to lead the masses to
revolutionary change - - through
raising the issue of racism as
oppressive to all working people.
eShe feels that the press'
concern about the Symbionese
Liberation Army (SL11.) is based
on a desire for "good copy" and
is a diversion from the main
question of racism.
eCommenting on the United
Farm Worker's (UFW) struggle
to boycott produce such as lettuce, not picked by UFW workers,
she stated that, "When you buy
lettuce that doesn't have the UFW
sign on it, that lettuce has blood
on it.' '

The Zebra killer is "sick,

Ms.
Davis who said, however, that

She noted Mayor Alioto' s '' stop

She said, "We're in the midst

"I was frightened out of my mind -- I was terrified," was
the ,feeling expressed by TORCH repoFter Roger Reid (a Black
man) after a visit to San Francisco last Friday.
Reid was talking about his experiences in l • .t city as he
tried to uncover the facts involved in the recent "stop J.nd search"
policy adopted by the San Francisco Police Dept. in the wake of
the "Zebra'' killings.
He said, ''The police are stopping Blacks at random in an
attempt to discover the Zebra killer" -- who is described as
being Black, 20 to 30 years old, five feet nine to six feet tall,
150 to 200 pounds, medium complexion and slender~ Reid says,
'' This description fits about 60 per cent of the Black community
in San Francisco.''
"You begin to feel that everybody is the FBI,' asserts Reid,
"all the Blacks feel that everywhere you look is a cop."
Reid tried to interview the police about their search. but was
told "all information about the Zebra case was confidential." He
was instead, according to Reid, questioned as a suspect.
"It was like a Jew going into a concentration camp and asking
about the conditions,"he said.
"The Black consensus," commented Reid, "is that the Blacks
feel the situation is out of hand and that they must prepare for massive attacks on the Black community. People won't go out on the
streets because they're afraid,'' he said. He made the observation
that "the police are cruising the streets with books of mug shots
in their laps, looking at pedestrians -- all the police actions lend
themselves to the general fear."
The Blacks "have been advised bv the .american Civil Liberties

performance. He said, "We had
a combination of things working
against us. Basically we need
some leadership. This is hard
at a two year school so we have
to look to our sophomores. If
we get that we hope to . . get
back into the winning ways."
He continued, '' Our kids are
going to have to boqnce back

weekend, They are tough and
we will have to -put it together
to beat them."

is to allow the meet officials
time to get to the University of
Oregon where they will be working on the Twi-Light meet.

Even though the track season is only half done the LCC track
team is already beginning to prepare itself for the conference and
regional championships. This will be the third year in a row
that Lane goes into the meets as the favorite.
In past years the other schools had to worry about the Titan
distance corps, The LCC distance runners have the same dominant
stature in the junior college ranks that the University of Oregon
has on the major college level.
This year a few new wrinkles have been added however.
Never before have the Titansgoneintothelast part of the season
with such a balanced team. Not only do the Titans own the top conference marks in 13 of the 18 events but in 11 of the 18 the Titans
also own the second or third best records -- in many cases both.
Coach al Tarpenning says, "This year we have more balance
than we had last year (when the Titans placed· seventh in the national
junior college championships).
"Even with the top marks, we are getting a lot of seconds and
thirds, and this should make it easier for us in post season action.
But the other schools have improved too. You can't take the other
teams lightly," he said, "that's when you get knocked off.''
No one is likely to take Lane lightly. The number of quality
athletes on the team is awesome. No less than 13 athletes from
Lane are ranked in the top ten in 'the nation.
an these national rankings don't help Tarpennin g too much,
though. Tarpenning stated, "We have been sending our results into
the regional offices but we haven't got anything back. This puts us
at a disadvantage because they (the other teams) know what we've
got but we don't know what they are doing."
The Titans will find out soon enough, though, and when they do,
Tarpenning can concentrate on what will be Lane's number one
problem in track -- finding enough money to send all the qualified
athletes back to the national meet.

Reichenberg pitches shutout

Bennie Reichenberg, a former AU-Stater from
Sheldon High School, pitched Lane to an 8-0
shutout of Chemeketa Community College in the
first game of a doubleheader played in Salem
Saturday. Lane completed a two-game sweep with
a 5-3 conquest in the second game.
Jerry Brund started a three run rally for Lane
in the fourth inning when he reached base safely
on an error. Greg Conrad followed with a single
that put men at first and second.
Chemeketa committed its second error of the
inning. It proved costly with both Brund and· Conrad scoring and Marvin Cook being left in scoring position, Lane didn't waste any time capitalizing on the opportunity. Catcher Rick Woods singled
to bring Cook home and stake Lane to a four to
nothing lead.
Reichenberg narrowly missed pitching a perfect game with the only blemish on his record
being a fourth inning single by Chemeketa's Ren-

nie Jones. In what Titan Coach Dwane Miller
called Reichenberg's best game as a collegian
the freshman struck out eight and walked only
one.
The second game opened with Chemeketa pushing across solo runs in the first and third innings.
The two to nothing lead disappeared when Marvin
Cook unloaded on a pitch and sent it over the fence
Lane came into the seventh and last inning
locked in a two to two tie. Gary Hassler singled
to start the inning off for the Titans: Two consecutive errors by Chemeketa proved to be their
undoing. The first moved Hassler and Rick Woods
into scoring position and the second brought them
home. Jack Speulda singled home Steve Henkaline
to wrap up the scoring for Lane.
The Titans travel · to hlbany today (Tuesday)
to meet the league leaders, Linn-Benton Community College, in a doubleheader. Play is slated
to begin at 1 p.m

Proposed film-making course
may be offered at LCC in fall
A course in film-ma:-dng may be offered at LCC next fall
if sufficient funds become available, according to John Elliott,
chairman of the Mass Communication Department. Roger McAllister, Art Department chairman, is working with Elliott on
the proposed course.
Funds, dependent on the outcome of the next tax-base election, are needed to hire an instructor to teach such a course.
Elliott also indicated that most of the necessary equipment and
materials are on hand, needing only organization and revitalizing
before being put to use. "This should hold any student fees down
to a minimum," he speculated.
There is also the possibility of the course being "doublelisted'' as fulfilling requirements for both Mass Communication
and l\.pplied A.rts programs towards Associate Degrees or for
transfer to a four-year institution.

Retired forester speaks to group

The problems of Forest Land
Management are varied, but according to Freemont Ma.Comb, a
retired forester, "People's lack
of knowledge is probably the biggest barrier to i'orest management in the country today."
To combat this, MaComb's idea
is to start in the elementary schools and have someone tell children about what is right and what
is wrong about forest growth

plans. MaComb spoke last week
irl a meeting of first and second
year LCC forestry students.
The bulk of the questions asked
Ma Comb focused on the problems
of small-time logging businesses
and their rights. M one point,
MaComb said, "No one has the
right to destroy land, even if
he owns it and pays taxes on
it." His rationale for this statement was that humans hadn't created the land, but they have the
right to use the land as long
as it is not destroyed.
MaComb has a background
of more than 35 years in the
Forest Service, has served in
the Willamette National Forest
and is now retired from Region
6 in Portland.

Women's poem·s featured
LCC Interdisciplinary
The
Studies department presented
Wednesday the third of a Readers' Theatre series involving the
readings of two women poets.
Interdisciplinary Studies instructor Jeanette Silveira read from
Judy Grans', "The Common Women Poems,' · and "The Psychoanalysis of Edward the Dike,''
and Linda Danielson , also an
instructor in the department,
read Adrienne Rich's, "Diving
into the Wreek.''
The "Common Women Po-

ems,' which Ms. Silveira referred to as a new way for women
to write about women, regarded
the common woman to be as
common as the common rattlesnake. The poem concluded amidst cheers from the basically
female audience, the "the common woman is as common as
the best of bread, and will rise.''
From "Divingintothe Wreck,"
Ms. Danielson presented a women's dilemma of being caught
between the choice of being warm
and affectionate, or creative. The

Dennis Celorie said, "The stu dents have -studied the for ma ts
all year, they now have a chance
to develop them."
The Radio Broadcasting staff
is now attempting to "pipe" music from KMPS to other parts
of campus. "We're fighting the
red-tape now to do this," said
Celorie, ''and I can't say where

choice was said to have been
an impossible one. In "The

Richs' poems, the protaganist is
continually faced with 'hndroculus ' criticism (that from a
specific male standpoint).
The last poem of the program, "The Psychoanalysis of
Edward the Dike," read jointly
by Ms. Danielson and Ms. Silveira, satirizes the modern psychoanilytical approach to homosexuality.
The next scheduled Readers'
Theatre presentation will take
place on May I. The program
will consist of readings by the
Chicano Student Union (CSU), at
noon in the staff lounge of the
Center bldg.

Nurses
(Continued from page 1)
the program involves "a high
pressure, accelerated pace for
all the students. For all our
efforts to keep up the pace,
we get no feedback from our
instructors, or what we do get
is negative. This type of attitude
is not condusive to learning.
The attitude in the whole departm<mt is down, students and
instructors alike, we all feel
it."
But one student said that she
has high hopes for the Supervised Field Experience (SFE)
Program, which is new in the
Nursing Department this year.
"I feel confident working on the
floor with a professional nurse
and no instructor around. If the
pressure could be relieved like
that in classes; " she said, "I
feel I could function better in
the program."
