In response to this letter, TORCH reporter Rick Bella talked to several Senate officers and members of the College Administration. He now files this analysis.) Although Senate sources admit that the Senate has been relatively inactive this year, they blame this lack of on a myriad of problems action ranging from disagreements with College Administration to hassles innate in their own structure. Specifically, Senate sources point out these problems: • A losing battle with the Adminisration for control of the budgetary process after the creation of Special Programs and Activities Fund (SPaF) Committee. the cabinet • Infighting among officers resulting in the controversial resignation of First Vice President John Richard. • Confusion among newly-elected senators as to operaing procedures. • Being bound to what may be aa outmoded structure which does not accurately reflect the needs of the school. • The Special Programs and Activities Fund (SPAF) was created by the LCC Board of Education last summer to deal with the budgeing of campus projects which are co-funded by college and student monies. These are athletics, health services, the TORCH, the ASLCC, and the Concrete State- ment (the literary arts magazine).

Women in the textbooks, Britton says, are given a limited amount of career roles, mostly that of mother, and are often cast as "inept,' "ridiculous,' and "ludicrous.' In addition, women are rarely given dynamic personalities or responsible positions. the opportunity to review and, if desired, challenge the content of the records. A record must also be kept in the student's file establishing the identity and purpose of all persons who view the records. Written permission must be obtained from the student to inspect records, with the following exceptions: school officials, including teachers with educational interests, school officials from schools to which the student has applied for admission, and those officials connected with a student's application for financial aid. This law will have "virtually no impact' ' at LCC, according to Bob Marshall, director of registration. He explained the Student/Staff Bill of Rights has already established practices similar (Continued from cover) Then built up over the last ten years. State and Federal law require that financial records be kept for five years and all other records indefinitely. These records appear to be in good hands, however. One member of the Student Records staff recently refused a parent access to a student's records. She was rebuked for trying to ''break up the family unit,' but held fast and protected the student's right to privacy. She said "its very surprising'' to find out how many people think they are exceptions to the privacy conditions, including police officials an,d credit agents. She says the Student Records Office will continue to steadfastly refuse to allow any unauthorized individual access to a student's records, without written permission. "The mother role is fine," says Britton, "but · many women are motnerplus. And they're competent career people. But they're not shown as competent, intelligent human beings in the text-. books. They're being ridiculed in story after story." Britton related one story from aninthgrade reading skills book about a store in the Old West where a man could buy a wife. One patron is particularly dissatisfied with his purchase and returns the merchandise. He is given directions on keeping her happy and is also told how to get satisfaction from her. As an example of racism, Britton told of a story about a Native American boy named Silver Twist who goes out to hunt a buffalo. After he has found his prey and wounded it, he goes over to finish slaying it. The animal lifts its head and licks the boy's hand. Silver Twist proceeds to slash its throat with his knife. At the end of the story there is a study question which asks, "What senate pro b-'1ems. .. ~ have you learned about Native American culture from this story?' ' in a text from the Alpha~ One Program series, children are taught a poem which Britton says is "very demeaning' of a man with club feet. She claims handicapped people for the most part are ignored- that is, there are very few stories about them at all. Britton feels that the root of the problem is that writers and editors of textbooks are "programmed'' with all these biases themselves and therefore are not aware that they are furthering these prejudices through seemingly '' innocent" reading materials. She says there are no textbooks available on the market that do not contain these examples of sexism and racism. As a possible solution, she suggesed that school districts might want to writei and produce their own material although she conceded that this would be a timely and costly venture. "In the meantime,'' she said, "I think we need to perhaps USE! economic pressure in order to forcEi publishers to produce the kinds of materials that are acceptable." l_.......... ~~;~·~~~·m;~~·;·~;;. . . 1 A spec1al pre-registration session will be held December 14 for returning evening students at LCC, according to Bob Marshall, director of admissions.

Consumer help here If you paid for an unsatisfactory pro- duct or service from a company, and were frustrated in your attempts at locating help, you may find relief yet. The LCC Library has obtained a comprehensive list of the governmental agencies to contact for specific consumer complaints, which is free upon request. Compiled by the Consumer Services Division of the Department of Commerce and supplied to LCC by the Oregon State Library, the list contains approximately 380 different types of complaints, followed by the name and phone number of the government agency concerned with that problem. The list was compiled in July of 19'74 and is the most recent publication of its kind, but if a phone number is changed or your area of complaint is not listed, you are instructed to call the Consumer Service Division in Salem at 378-4320. The table on which the list rests is located about 40 feet straight into the library through the main entrance. If you have trouble locating it you may register a complaint with the circulation desk, ~nd they will help. Federal grants avail able Over one million students have applied for the Federal Government's Basic Opportunity Grants so far this year, and it is still not too late to apply. First or second year students can get between $50 and $1,050 to help with educational expenses. Basic Grants provide eligible students with a "floor' of financial aid which can be used ay any one of over 5,000 eligible colleges, junior colleges, vocational or technical schools, career academies, or hospital schools of nursing. It costs nothing to apply for Basic Grants, and they never have to be paid back. Before applying for a Basic Grant, students must meet three important criteria: • be a US citizen or permanent resident • be enrolled full time at an eligible institution of postsecondary education • be enrolled in postsecondary school after April 1, 1973. To apply for a Basic Grant, students must fill out an "Application for Determination of Basic Grant Eligibility''. These applications are available from the school's financial aid officer, or by writing Basic Grants, Box 1842, Washington, D.C. 20028. Even if a student has applied for other financial aid, he or she must fill out a separate application for a Basic Grant. Four to six weeks after submitting an application, you will receive a "Student Eligibility Report' which notifies you of your eligibility. The amount of the grand depends on financial need and the cost of the school which you are attending. The student must take this report to the financial aid officer to find out the amount of the a ward. rl«t o.~ , 1~. -~ tne, ROBERTSON'S DRUGS Your prescription, our main concern ..... 30th & Hilyard 343-7715 ' SNOW SKI IN HAWAII?

Dotson who is also assistant to LCC President Eldon Schafer, attributes Lane's high national standing to its basic philosophy of concern for individual needs. It is the olicy of the school to search out every potential student, discover their educational needs and then attempt to satisfy those needs. The most recent results of this policy are the $503,000 Skills Center in Florence and the probable use of KVDO television station in Salem for broadcast of accredited college courses. Learning ReKeith Harker of the source Center (LRC) says the philosophy realizes itself in the form of the individual learning packages available in the majority of the classes at Lane.
