@ne Comm~t u College Page 1 Vol. 14 No. 2 October 7, 1976 Student's $250 stolen from padlocked locker By Kathy Monje Tom Woods, an LCC pre-dental major, returned from his badminton class Oct.1 and found that $250 was missing from his still-padlocked locker. Woods had paid his tuition with a National Defense Loan; the money was the remainder of the loan. He left his wallet, containing 1he money, in a metal locker (not a basket) provided by the P.E. Department for students. ''The only way someone could have gotten into the locker was to open the back of the padlock with a key, or to have already known the combination ... there is a box of computer cards with both the locker numbers and the combinations on them behind the attendant's window," said Woods. The attendants had not noticed anyone near the locker, but the room is open to · all students and their comings and goings are not monitored. :... . .. } ..s: :;.;:::~ : Woods reported the theft to LCC Security and to Dean of Students, Jack Carter. When contacted by the TORCH, Carter• said, "We have checked with our insurance company and it does not cover individual losses to students.'' He said that ''the cost of such insurance would probably be prohibitive." LCC Security personnel refused to comment at this time, pending investigation of the theft. Woods has since changed his lock, but wonders if other students will suffer similar losses. President had charisma Collector impressed by Lincoln Story and {)hotos by Michael Riley • 'The two things about Lincoln that impress me the most are his integrity and his charisma," Sid Austin, LCC mailroom courier, told the TORCH in a recent interview. Austin has lived in Oregon for most of his life and states that he is a " ... fourth generation Oregonian." He collects memorabilia on Abraham Lincoln and has displayed his collection at various events throughout the state. The collection includes a bust of Lincoln done by Volk, a famous sculptor of that time period, a lithograph of Lincoln that, says Austin, "Is considered to be a good likeness according to Lincoln's son." Other items included in the collection are a book about Lincoln that was published the same year he was assassinated and an etching of Lincoln that Austin obtained in Eastern Oregon. These items are just a part of th~ actual collection that is still in storage. Austin's collection started· in 1965 with Lincoln pennies and a Lincoln bank. "That's what got me really into it," says Austin, "from there I got the etching and some early American school readers on his life." Austin has not read all the books that he has on Lincoln. His collection includes over 35 volumes all dealing with our 16th president. admires a bust of Abraham Lincoln sculpted by Volk. Austin also collects inkstands and is presently waiting for a reproduction of an inkstand used in the signing of the Declaration of Independence. He told the TORCH that only 56 of these replicas will be made, the same number as the people who signed the important document. Austin also ordered the stand on the 200th anniversary of the day that the Declaration was publicly read. Both collections are impressive, Austin, is knowledgeable in both, and one cannot help but see the love that he holds for Abraham Lincoln. This summer, Austin went on a "Bicentennial Trip" back east and visited many of the same places that Lincoln visited over 100 years ago. Austin's inkstands will be on display in the LCC Library from November 22 to December 17. The display, titled, "200Years of Writing Impliments in the United States of America,'' will include the replica of the inkstand used in the signing of the Declaration of Independence and other stands used throughout America's history. ·ti n inkstand simiiiar to the type us;d by Linc~ln sits next to a book about the President published the same year as his death. Also this term Austin will be speaking at a "Brown Bag Forum'' on the Bicentennial. The forum will be announced in the LCC daily bulletin. IRS says low income returns available• Although the April 15th deadline for filing Federal income tax returns is past, some low-income individuals who didn't file tax returns because of low-income can still receive up to $400 from the government by filing a return at this late date, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The $400 payment is the maximum provided under an '' Earned Income Credit" established by Congress. The credit can only be paid to those filing income tax returns, even though they would not otherwise be required to file a return because their earnings are so low, the IRS said. To qualify for the credit, workers must have received less than $8,000 in total income from all sources in 1975--including wages, salary, tips, or other employee compensation. Additionally, the individuals must have paid more than half the cost of maintaining a home in the United States for themselves and at least one dependent child for the entire year. The dependent child must be younger than 19 years old, or a full-time student. Those qualifying for the credit who had total income of $4,000 or less would receive a check for ten percent of their earned income, up to the maximum of $400. The amount of the credit is reduced when income from all sources runs between $4,000 and $8,000, the IRS said. Individuals who believe they may qualify for the credit, but who haven't filed an income tax return this year, should check with their nearest Internal Revenue Service office. ASLCC applications due The application deadline for ASLCC positions has been changed from October 8 to October 15.

Armed police Jump from steel vans and quickly spread themselves to form a wall between the building and the students. The students scream obscenities and well-wom political slogans from the bottom of the stairs. Their leaders shout encouragement from the third floor balcony. The tens.ion Is contagious and spreads &om students to police; the students provoking the cops and the cops just waiting to crack their heads open. The "pigs" unleash billy clubs from their belts and with almost religious zeal, bring them down on the heads of the students. The first scream of &fght is heard among the crowd and panic spreads, like the tear gas cannisters that release poison. A file cabinet is thrown through a window in the library, miraculously missing someone's head. Glass, paper, fire, and students are scattered over the courtyards between the Center and Business buildings. Harry and Jan ignore the bloodshed around them, and in their own sort of protest, make love on the stairway leading to the bookstore. "Violence is a turn-on," Harry says to Jan. Does any of this sound familiar? Almost ten years ago, the film "Getting Straight" was shot at the LCC campus. Oh my, how things have changed. Elliott Gould plays Harry, the sexist, smart-ass-know-it-all, former "radical" who is trying to get "straight" in order to complete his master's degree in education. He's got some real problems, though, not the least of which is his impatience with anyone less brillant than he is. And his brillance, or the producer's idea for a_"star student/' "is open to question by anyone. Candice Bergen is Jan, a middleflass WASP who possesses a "perfectly chiselled nose." (It's true. I've never seen one more beautifully sculpted.) She's trying to calm the war raging in her soul: Marriage/ kids/suburbia or self-made revolutionary? The other characters are a crosssection of the sixties more politically oriented students; a few black militants, some hippies (one of whom freaks out when he goes for his draft physical, then turns Harry in for cheating on a test, thus getting him kicked out of the education dept.), and feminists. But there are no gay people, though, as far as I could tell. The plot, if you could call it that, revolves around student demands for a later curfew, a Black Studies Department, and for more freedom to run their own lives. Harry, much to his dismay, is elected to take the demands to the President. After discussing it with the Board of Regents, the President comes back with a "compromise:" a 10:00 p.m. curfew, and scholarships for five black and one chicane student. (I guess the feminists didn't have any demands, or maybe they were ignored, not being important enough to warrant any consideration. Harry looks first at the President in disgust, then through the window (the window in the Board Room in the Administration Building) and sees a kid getting his head· busted open over a 10:00 p.m. curfew. He then says to him, "Don't try to hold back time. It'll tear your arms out."_ It's probably the best line in the movie. I guess it has. Maybe no one has . had any limbs tom off, but time has definitely moved forward. • Leaving the· film showing in the Forum Building, my friends and I walked down into the late afternoon sunshine, blinked our eyes, and looked around in a sort of dream-like state. The courtyard was peaceful as the wind blew gently through the trees. A few students were walking toward their cars. No broken glass, here. The trash cans weren't burning and people were walking quietly between the buildings. It was hard to believe I'd seen so much blood on the concrete and the stairways that I've walked on so many times. If I hadn't seen the blood on that kid's head, I might Letters Letters To the Editor: On September 9, Mao Tsetung, chairman of the Communist Party of China, died at age 82.

Who was he ~that the two most powerful countries in the world, the US and Russia, have no leaders that compare with him in stature, either in love and respect from the people, of fear and hate from enemies?

I'm glad that the violence that characterized the sixties, and climax•• ing at Kent State in 1270, is over. But I wish I saw more energy put into communication between administrators and students. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie. It was a flash from the past, a memory of an exciting time, that in some ways now seems rather· .ddiculous. I'm glad no one is going to clobber me for wanting to stay out past 10:00 p.m. have laughed. A riot over a curfew? I suppose the movie was symbolic of changes, not only at LCC, but at most campuses around the country. It gave me some time for a little reflection on the state of education and what all this violence in the last ten years has brought. The last few years of the '60's, and the forces that clashed on campuses around the country, have helped to bring the relative peace and freedom we have today. Black Studies departments are on almost every campus except, ironically, at LCC, where the Ethnic Studies Dept. was disbanded last year. Dorms are coed, student newspapers have a high degree of independence, and I don't think anyone remembers a curfew. As for making love on stairways i~ the middle of a riot ... well, violence doesn't turn me on, but then, neither does apathy. There are those who feel that students still don't have a strong enough voice in the way universities and community colleges are being run. I've heard them talk about it, but what's being done? Where were they this summer when the LCC Board of Education cut out student legal services while cancelling mandatory student fees? Except for a few people involved in the ASLCC, no one cared, as far as I could see. And with the mandatory fees went a proposed childcare program, without a whimper from anyone. Have we run out of issues? I don't see how. I don't know if everyone has mellowed out, gotten ·01e1, or is . just tired of ttghting. A couple of instructors, Paul Malm, Social Science Dept. Chairman, and Language Arts Dept. Chairman John Howard, appeared in the last sequence of the film. Harry is taking the oral examination for his master's, and in the middle of an instructor's spee<;h about F. Scott Fitzgerald's homosexuality as exspressed in ''The Great Gatsby," Harry realizes he's never going to make it in the straight world. Malm and Howard appear as part of the group that test Harry. And although they don't have any dialogue, they do very well at running out of the room when Harry explodes into a frenzy after decidinP to blow to hell his chances of getting degree. When I called Malm to get his comment on the film, he told me, surprisingly enough, that he hadn't "I think it was a seen it. disreputable movie," was his opinion. He said he hadn't seen the entire script before he was asked to appear. and felt that the producers had made instructors look "like idiots." Cecil Kellaway, (now deceased) who portrayed an instructor, impressed Malm with his '' gentleness and professionalism." He added that his feelings about Elliott Gould were exactly in reverse. As for the riot scenes that appeared in the film, Malm said, "Nothing like that," had happened at LCC. We've forgotten that much of today's "academic freedom" is the result of a long struggle between administrators and students. Although both groups have quit yelling at each other over barricades [they've moved that kind of dialogue to board rooms], there still doesn't seem to be any real communication, or more importantly, any real effort at working together. I've always felt like I was in a vacuum at all the Board meetings I've attended. Everyone went through the motions, but nothing About SO or 60 people attended last Thursday's film, which was sponsored by the ASLCC. Co-ed dorms change men, women students Letters I formed China from a country where they lived in misery and oppression to an advancing socialist country where the · workers and peasants rule. He pointed the direction for the working class and oppressed people not only of China but for the whole world . Mao Tsetung's life and death have given rise to a lot of questions, which the rich man's press has tried to answer in its own way. Was Mao Tsetung an "idealist" who pulled China together by his sheer strength, vision and will? Will the Chinese Revolution continue? Do Mao Tsetung's contributions apply just to China, or do they have anything to do with the rest of the world? The Revolutionary Student Brigade (RSB) at the University of Oregon is sponsoring a memorial meeting on Thursday, Oct.7, at 7:30 p.m. in the Erb Memorial Student Union (room to be posted) on the University campus. We will be paying tribute to Mao Tsetung and talking about t.hese questions and others. The RSB invites all LCC students to come learn about Mao Tsetung, the struggle he helped build. and the lessons we can learn .from his life. John Lanier Peter Harvey (CPS)--Does co-ed dorm living mess up your head? Yes, no and sort of, according to two Stanford University psychiatrists who reported their findings in Human Behavior magazine. The pair quizzed 900 freshmen students at a large public school in a small town where most students live in university housing. They found that overall, co-ed dorms are more pleasant, relaxed, friendly, enjoyable and that the atmosphere promotes greater personal growth than single sex living arrangements. They discovered men who opt for co-ed living have higher academic and career goals, like to drink beer and think of themselves as easy going and "on top of the world." Women in co-ed housing, however, were found to be quite different than their female classmates stuck in women-only dorms. Women who lived under the same roof as men had higher academic aspirations, took part in more social and cultural activities and engaged in more of what the psychiatrists call ''impulsive-deviant behavior," which means they occasionally break school rules and drink hard liquor. These women also had a better self image than other university first year women. thev described themselves as "easy going," and they were l~ss likely to view themselves as cautious.

She tolls for students around the country who pay anywhere from $40 to $100 in deposit fees for new telephone service. These extravagant payments are no indication, however, of any financial distress in Ma Bell's kitchen. American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) reported net earnings of $ l. 1 billion for the past three months, a record rivalled only by the Exxon Corporation. The Bell system has already received approval for 32 regional increases so far this year which will provide $641 million in added revenue. These figures offer little comfort to the student dealing with the phone company for the first time. In DeKalb, Illinois, two seniors at Northern Illinois University with good credit and a similar record of long distance calls for three years had completely different experiences at Continental Telephone Company. One student was charged $50 in deposit fees while the other was only charged an automatic installation fee of $14. When asked about this discrepancy, a manager at Continental' s DeKalb office said that _the phone company employees are hired~at_the beginning of the school year rush and often charge differently. Phon e· companies are generally not allowed to use anything other than their own records to check a credit rating. In most cases, if a student has not had a phone in the past, the phone company charges twice the student's estimate of one month• s long distance calls plus twice the local monthly charge as a deposit. Under federal law, telephone companies must pay interest on deposits and return them if the person has paid the telephone bill for nine months. In general, a student who gives a. higher estimate of long distance or toll ca11s risks paying a higher deposit. One case in DeKalb involved a student who estimated she would make $40 worth of toll calls and was charged a $100 deposit. When she returned with a lower estimate, she was charged a lower fee. At the Rochester Telephone Company. which is not part of the Bell system, the situation is not much different. A series of six questions is asked of a prospective phone owner which include name, address, employment and income-source data. Each of these questions, when answered, receives either a negative or positive rating from the phone company. For example, if a person has lived at his or her residence for fewer than two years, this is a "negative" response according to the phone company. Full-time student status is a "positive" answer. The only time a student's deposit fee is computed according to estimated long distance calls is if the student has never had phone service. A Rochester Telephone Company official said that college students are treated the same way as residents. The situation is different for the on-campus students at the Unviversity of Rochester who is, by virtue of living in the dormitories. automatically treated to a telephone, courtesy of Rochester Telephone's Centrex system serving the UR since 1967. The University of Rochester has agreed with the phone company to pay for campus phone service in one lump sum. When asked for an estimate of the sum, Mary Inis, a centrex operator at the University could only say "it's alot." Students with on-campus phone service are issued toll-billing numbers resembling credit card numbers at the beginning of the school year by Rochester Telephone. A student cannot elect to have phone service shut off and in protest, several students turn in their cards each year. There are ways to avoid the deposit problem that are simply kept under wraps. If a student has had Bell service in another state and maintained good credit, he or she should not be required to pay the deposit fee, by Ted Romoser, Language Arts and English Composition instructor Study Skills classes are bulging, basic composition courses are sold out, people are seeking skills, my students are attentive and listen carefully to see what assignments must be completed. The year is starting quietly; no demonstrations no agonies over war, drugs , politics, sex, race. Sounds like good news for a teacher, right? Well, for this teacher the answer is a definite maybe. Here's why. It's like mornings when you step out the door into a foggy Oregon/ Scottish Highlands kind of day and sniff to see if the wind is blowing over the Springfield mill toward you or if that's just healthy thick air. I'm sniffing the atmosphere at LCC and other colleges and wondering if there isn't a faint odor that can't quite decide if it's healthy activity and economic energy or if it's pollution. I'll tell you why a quiet year might keep unpleasant notions lurking far back in the conclusion-jumping, department of my mind, if you'll accept my theory about good teaching and good writing and (your part) good learning. Good teaching, like good writing, requires a point of view, a position, a relationship to the people in classes and to the material being taught. Writers whose work is alive and moving, don't just write about something, they believe strongly, have a definite attitude toward their subject. Good teachers know what they think about the various materials and theories and techniques used in their classes, whether they're talking about history or how tightly to adjust the valves. They sort out, and accept or reject. Investigative journalists like Woodward and Bernstein created excitement and told a good story because they had a point' of view toward Watergate. And good students learn well not by memorizing everything presented but by sorting out what they like or don't like , by comparing new information with what -they know already, by questioning. What learners, writers and teachers have in common is position, point of view, beliefs. So the year begins quietly, but is this a quiet of satisfaction , a quiet of people with settled positions and definite directions? Or is this a quiet of timidness, a quiet of insecurity, a quiet of people and a society without positions? That's my worry. A few years ago the books of readings we used in composition classes had themes. They were essays, poems, stories, newspaper articles on civil rights, the the war, then the role of women. Students and teachers had positions all over the place, violently for and violently against. We had crusades (on all the issues above), we had Nader versus GM, Humphrey versus Nixon, a long-haired student jumping up in heated classroom discu~sion to point a finger of accusation at an exMarine and accuse him of being a closet Yippie after the Marine accused him of being conservative. And I think most students also learnPn hasic skills. Now we're all clamoring "back to the basics," learning practical skills and skipping the frills, there's talk again about making community colleges purely vocational. On the national level, we have two major candidates (no, maybe I should say candidates of major parties) who take a nationally televised debate and do what? While one hundred million people (at the beginning) wait for one of the leaders to show himself as a person with something to say, they both play it safe. One tries to make a virtue of having done nothing and planning to continue, the other tries to make a virtue of general emotions of love and trust. Both come across as boring technicians who are good at memorizing statistics. But do positions come across clearly? They didn't, and I was one of the ten people west of the Mississippi River who paid attention to the entire debate, even the silence. Maybe you see why I'm worried about quietness. Is this the quiet of the hollow men, "headpieces filled with straw," that the poet T .S. Eliot described as typical of our modem age: people without emotions, without commitments, without positions? Maybe that's not who we _3:~e. but just to argue, say it's true and Are we speculate about why. intimidated by discovering that the economy can be so badly handled that it won't provide jobs for eleven per cent of Lane County's work force, so we need to shout up about issues and get trained? Ar~ we disgusted by actors in high places who tell us they're not crooks while lifting our moral wallets or who use the public payroll to create a Capital Playboy Club, so we're ready to give up on the whole process of political battle and compromise? Or are we just worn out by wars and assassinations? Those are some of my guesses. And you can add six more of your favorites. We both end the same place: The atmosphere of education at LCC and other colJeges is different now, it's quiet. I'm afraid quiet may slide over to passive, and I don't believe education happens to peopl~. I think people have to reach out and grab it, then wrestle with it and take some bruises from it. No one is going to get an education or give one if we think it will ·be like the shof line at military induction centers: a dose of typhus, a dose of flu, a dose of tetanus. No, not that way. We 'll · end with the disease instead of the cure. Here's why I'm worried about quietness. It just might mean people have decided to go along and make out as best they can with things as they are. Maybe people have lost the belief that individuals can change anything by caring and acting, by taking positions and fighting for them. Probably our belief in the individual's ability to ::hange the system has been too simple and optimistic; but sometimes it has worked. And belief that some one person can begin to change things is not far removed from belief in yourself. Bot~ of those beliefs have been important in keeping our society healthy. I want you to get employed and to get at LCC the skills you need for employment. But I also want you to use LCC as a testing ground for positions. I want you to take classes aggressively. To take positions. To say, "I accept this but I reject that." I want you to look for classes that will give you a chance to test your positions on all your concerns as an individual and citizen. Personally, I'd prefer a year that required me to put up with lots of boorish behavior, with crusades, objections, and even noisily wasted time in gassy debates. I'd prefer that to a quiet year spent with passive people. Retirem ent class offered "Looking Forward to Retirement" is a new class for couples preparing for retirement in the near future.

Appia 800th informs students by Al Smart The Apple Corps is looking for a few good men and women, not for the purveyance of fresh fruit, but rather to man their new portable structure, the Apple Booth. The Apple Booth, conceived during the hepatitis scare last year as a tool of the Student Health Services to bring the true facts to students and faculty, made its debut at registration this term. Its primary function, that of educating in event of an epidemic wherever students and faculty may be reached, will be coordinated also with general information on such topics as ear and eye care, women's services, family planning, and cold and flu information. Jenny Hayes, RN, Apple Corps coordi·nator, plans having the Apple Booth open daily, two weeks each month, at various sites on campus to handle weekly topics. Persons i,n terested in helping with the Apple Booth should contact Jenny Hayes at Student Health Services. SHS is open Monday - Thursday, 8-5, and 8-1 on Friday, with two nurse practitioners on duty. A doctor and lab technician are also available 10-2, Monday - Friday.

In contrast, the warm-up artist, John Hyatt, sang original songs that fell in one musical bag. The audience had a mixed reaction to him--many people thought him a man in touch with his roots, but a large number were offended by his sexist, racist, and ethnic cliches and walked out on his set.
