These words, located on a sign over the barn door at Windgate Farms, introduced me to my first equestrian event in over five years. It all began with a comparison I volunteered to do between horses and sportscars. The sportscar part was fun, entertaining and ego fulfilling. I know nothing about horses except that I tend to sneeze around them. The TORCH editor made the arrangements, a "gallop" poll was taken to learn who wanted to join me and the day was set for Thursday. Windgate Farms has 243 acres of land, according to owner John Reavis. The farm has 13 horses and is located outside of Junction City just off Ferguson Creek Road. I felt hesitant about driving that far just to ride a horse, but my car could carry all five of us and nobody else volunteered. Thursday arrived, the car was ready, and I was dressed in western attire that I had scrounged from a pile of clothes kept in my basement. The other staff members were dressed accordingly; we were ready to ride. Anyway, we looked ready despite nervous comments from the less experienced riders. Ron Norberg, one of the people who work at the farm, greeted us and showed us our mounts. He also directed us toward the release forms that would waive the farm from any damage we received while riding. Norberg informed us later on that there had been "no major accidents" since he's worked there. The release forms signed, we were introduced to our horses formally. My horse· s name was Chief, a name that fit him and my overactive imagination to the letter. I began to daydream about ''Chief the wonder horse'' and the fight at the "Circle K Ranch." My western epic dream was stopped when we were told to "go ahead and ride." With five people, it is difficult at times to make unanimous decisions. Add five horses, each with their own conception of what is going on. and it becomes next to impossible. Finally. after much persuasion. the horses and the riders agreed on going up the hill. We looked like something out of a family wildlife film or a grade ." Z" western. There are a number of interesting trails at Windgate; these go off into the acreage giving the rider different terrains to experience on horse-back. Even one who is not fond of horses can still admire the scenery. Besides. the gentle clopping of hooves on the ground are relax:ng in themselves. Alas. my peaceful reverie was destroyed when the photo editor announced he was going to canter. The word seem to bring new life to Chief's peaceful attitude. Canter is a fancy term for "gallop." In a cloud of dust and hearty yell of unprintable expletives, the TORCH's chief photog~!P.h~r disappeared ()Ver a hillcrest. The refused to go 9own a hill .t hat I wanted to. A closer look at the hillside showed that it was exceedingly slick and Chief found a safer path to follow downhill. We rode into a clearing, those of us that remained together during the ride, and found the photo editor crying ''Viva Riley. costumed appropriately, test rides "Chief." editor followed suit; having much experience with horses she was probably bored with us slowpokes. We were all impressed with the way the horses behaved and with their appearance. They all seemed well groomed and well fed. Each horse was different in size, shape and color. Chief was small, brown and white, and looked like a horse Tom Mix would ride. I have to brag about Chief -- my love for horses goes as far as my resistance to sneezing around them, yet Chief earned that special spot in my heart when he Zapata" or something similar as he charged past us. His horse loved to run, but was restrained from going so continually thanks to the humane attitude of his rider. Even animals need to take it easy. Common sense was the important factor for riding. We tried to keep close together so no one would stray. Those of us who fell behind or charged ahead knew where the others were. At least where we hoped they'd be. The hardest part of the whole excursion for me was to avoid usin,g old western cliches like.

"We're now in a situation where we don't have any money," said Wheeler. "It's a little unfair, but we're trying to work around it.'' Without the funding from the mandatory fee, according to Wheeler, the ASLCC was left in a position making it necessary to LCC students for a voluntary fee. The TORCH asked Wheeler what will happen if the new cards don't go over well with students. Wheeler said that possibly other revenues would have to supplement the student government program, but the ASLCC hopes for the best. He didn't specify where the supplemental revenues might come.

The 26 person Inter-Institutional Task Force on Child Care, the group responsible for drafting the legislative bill, agreed to include community colleges in a meeting held last Tuesday, November 3Q. Linda Riept.., LCC Coordinator of Early ,Childhood Education, is "delighted" at the addition of community colleges to the bill. She feels that, ''The more publicity we can get so students will realize the legislation i_s pending and get thier interest will be a tremendous help."· Dennis Mulvihill, coordinator of the .Oregon Student Lobby, had been a strong voice in opposing the addition of community colleges in the bill. Yet at the task force meeting he mentioned receiving support for the addition from a number of ''sources.'' These sources. according to Riepe, include the Lane County Women's Political Caucus, the Oregon State Women's Political Caucus, the Governor's Commission on Woman's Status and the LCC Woman's Program Advisory Committee. Riepe hopes to get more groups involved; interested persons can contact her through the Department of Early Childhood Education.

ASLCC says their card will provide the following: 1. Insured student representation. LCC Board policy insures student representation already -- paying for a student activities card will not increase or decrease this representation. 2. Concerts, Movies, Lectures, etc. . . These are presently provided through the Student Activities office at little or no cost (other than tuition). 3. Organize and promote on-campus groups. Campus clubs and organizations may organize without ASLCC. 4. Emergency Prescriptions at Health Service. There is no contract between ASLCC and Student Health Service which will guarantee that there will always be money in a fund for this purpose. 5. Student Resource Center. This is valid in the amount of $500 or less. 6. Free Legal Services. Once again there is no contract which will guarantee that this service will be provided and ASLCC does not presently have enough funds to make such a contract. 7. Free Telephone. The college provides the telephone, not the ASLCC. 8. As much more as your support will sponsor. We need a more clearJy outlined program before investing our money in any Student Activities card.

Dobkin The nation's unemployment rate jumped to 8.1 per cent in November, prompting President-elect Jimmy Carter to indicate he will take action to boost the economy. ''The likelihood is the economy will need help," Carter said. But he added that he will wait until after the first of the year before de-ciding what specific action to take. Among the measures he has said he is considering are tax cuts and programs to create jobs. Carter commented at a news confe1~nce at his home in Plains, Ga., after the Labor Department reported that the jobless rate rose from 7. 9 per cent to 8.1 per cent last month, a new high for the year. Two hundred thousand more Americans were without jobs. _during the third quarter, there are many signs that by the year's end the rate will be - higher. In September, for instance. wholesale prices -- invariably the forerunner to similar increases at the retail level -surged upwards at a 10.8 per cent annual rate. It was the biggest jump in 11 months. Even if the rate of inflation should "level off'' at a 6 per cent annual rate -- and few observers expect it to do much better -- this will pose a severe threat to any hopes the capitalists may have for relative economic "stability." For 24 years prior to the recent inflationary burst of the 1973-75 period, the annual rate of inflation for the U.S. economy exceeded 6 per cent only once: in 1969 when it was 6.1 per cent. For the most part during that period ptices went up annually somewhere between 1 per cent and 3 per cent. Other figures indicating the economy's troubles showed drops in the average work-week, new orders for consumer goods and materials, net business formations and contracts-and orders for plant and equipment. All of this brought to the fore once again capitalism's classic dilemma. On the one hand, monopoly capital attempts to maximize its profits by extracting a greater amount of surplus value out of the workers' labor power and through maximum prices for its goods and services. On the other hand, its very drive for profit reduces the actual purchasing power of the working class to buy the goods it has produced. Happy New_Year? Unemployment lines grow. •~n the month of November 200,000 more Americans were without iobs."

The Guardian Another unfavorable report showed wholesale prices rose six-tenths of 1 per cent last month, the third sharp monthly increase in a row. Higher natural gas prices and increases for other fuels offset a decline in farm prices, the department said. Carter rules out the possibility that he will seek authority to impose wage-price controls, but said voluntary restraints "could be an option." The president-elect also said he has doubts whether recent steel price increases were needed and expressed hope they will be rolled back. A key economic adviser to Carter. Jerry Jasinowski, said the rise in joblessness was ''further indication the economy is in worse shape than thought during the campaign and worse shape than what the President's (ford's) economic advisers believed to be the case in the fourth quarter." Earlier this week, several economists visiting with Carter urged tax cuts to stimulate the economy. A number of -congressional Democrats have said they prefer various job creating measures. such as public works projects. 'Economic Recovery' On the Rocks (condensed from The Guardian) INFLATION THREATENS 'STABILITY' While the latest Commerce Department figures show that the cost-of-living rose at a relatively modest 4.4 per cent annual rate WORKERS HA VE LESS MONEY t " . !t .. ' \ 1 One hardly has to be a Marxist to see this problem in life. Michael K. Evans, president of Chase Econometric Associates, which is the Chase Manhattan Bank's consulting affiliate. sees the present problem in those terms. ''The average worker." he admits. "has less money in his pocket, in real terms, than he did in 1972 and 1973." _In fact, despite the "recovery," average weekly real spendable earnings of production workers is less tod~y than it was in January of 1976. NO RETURN TO 'NORMAL' It now seems as though the economy will require some additional infustions of money to get it moving again. The likelihood is, therefore, that the next administration will come up with an additional tax ''rebate'' scheme and that the Federal Reserve Board will promote lower interest rates in orr.er to step up the flow of credit. None of this will solve the underlying problem. Monopoly, capitalist' anarchy of production, the shrinking world of imperialist exploitation. the growing wastefulness of the state bureaucracy, the brutal urgencies of imperialist rivalry, the increasing decadence of the institutions of authority -- these are problems which an economic ''recovery'' can do nothing about. continued on page 9 " •D~cembe'r 9. 1976 ·_·_·•_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _·_··_· ·_·_··_·_·._, -_~_-·_·_· ·_·_··_ · ·_·_·_· ·_-_· _·_··- -TORCH - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - P a g e 3 Different math offered next term by John Brooks Are you dreading next term because you have to take a math class but you don't like doing math? Next term the Math Department is offering a new and different class in mathematics called ''Mathematics in Our Culture." A poster advertising the class states, "You will not do a lot of math problems." In fact, the problems will be "exercise of logic,'' explains the originator of the class, Jim Snow, LCC mathematics instructor, in an interview with the TORCH. The class is designed for those students who are majoring in liberal arts and will show the relationship of mathematics to branches of knowledge such as art, music, and social science, says Snow. He says it could be called math appreciation. There will also be some history of mathematics and biographies of famous mathematicians. For six years Snow has been concerned DOC TALK ... Cavities by Student Health Services staff Dental caries (cavities) is a disease process by which the enamel (hard outer layer of the tooth) is disintegrated. This happens when you eat a carbohydrate (like sweets) and it becomes fermented by the bacteria (plaque) that exists naturally on your teeth. This fermentation process produces acids which eat away at your tooth enamel and cause car·es. How often you eat sweets is more important than how much you eat. It takes at least 20 minutes to neutralize the acid produced by the sweet each time a sweet is eaten. The more often sweets are in contact with the tooth, the longer you expose your teeth to cariogenic (cavity causing) acids. Sticky sweets such as honey. dried fruit, hard candies and caramels stay longer on the tooth surface and also prolong the exposure·of acid to the enamel. ¥ ou can help prevent dental caries by using good dental hygiene techniques (brushing and flossing) after each meal, usin_g a fluoridated toothpaste (fluoride helps harden the enamel) and choosing a good diet for yourself. Meat, cheese, nuts, fresh vegetables and fruits, plain yogurt, hard boiled eggs, popcorn, and sugarless gum and candy are good between meal snacks. Try to ·reduce the amount and frequency of high sugar foods you eat. Increase the amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables you eat. The cellulose and fiber they contain stimulate the gums and encourage salivation (production of saliva) which helps neutralize the cariogenic acids. At ni_ght saliva flow is decreased. This is why it is. especially important to brush and floss well before going to sleep. If you can't brush or floss after meals, rinse your mouth vigorously with water to loosen and rinse away any food stuck between your teeth. Fewer cavities means less expensive dental bills, better total health and a nicer smile.

He made a preliminary study and found out that many other colleges in Oregon had a class paralleling Snow's idea. Some of those colleges endorsed the practicality of Snow's plans. Over the summer Snow worked on ideas. There are "a zillion topics" this class embrac·es, he said, with a sparkle in his eye at the thought of unlocking the many wonders of the world. One of these wonders that he cited was concerning the spiral found in the Chamber Nautilus shell. First, that spiral fits a precise mathematical equation and second, that same spiral is foun~ in the arrangement of the seeds in a sunflower. The interview was interrupted by a telephone call for Snow. The caller turned out to be a student who was interested in this new class. Snow said the student was presently a social science major but was considering entering the performing arts.

For more information, or if you would like to volunteer to help OSPIRG there will be a table during registration. OSPIRG projects currently being researched at this time include: A) Women's Rights Handbook The Women's Rights Handbook will provide basic information on Women's Rights. Hopefully, this information will assist women in taking control over their own lives. There will be several sections in the handbook dealing with rape, how to do a name change, how to use legal references, and the status of Equal Rights Amendment. Student input is desired for the handbook as there are still sections that need research to be done. r~... B) 2-4-ST herbicide In 1970 the use of 2-4-ST herbicide was banned for home and recreational use by the DeparJment of Environmental Quality (DEQ) after the Surgeon General said it "may present an emminent hazard to women of child bearing age.'' It was found in a recent study conducted by OSPIRG • that 77 per cent of all stores surveyed which sold 2-4-ST were recommending it for illegal use.

Civil rights areas for projects include: l) Oregon Mental Commitment process, 2) Women in Prison. Regional project ideas: J) Food prices in poor areas of Eugene and Portland. The study will attempt to show price differences in affluent areas as compared to poor neighborhoods in chain stores. 2) Rental Issue Retaliation.

On Wednesday, Nov. 10, Malm participated in a panel discussion sponso~ed by the World Affairs Council or Oregon for public service. Malm stated that he had been invited by the Counsul for the Republic of China, ''to attempt to represent the views of that country.'' Other panel members were Prof. Jeff Barlow. Asian History authoritarian at Lewis and Clark; and Rick Pass, representative of U.S.-China People's Friendship Association. Moderator of the discussion was Joseph M. Ha, Chairman, Curriculum of International Affairs .Qf Lewis & Clark Co1lege. The format for the panel was ''both statements and questions." said Malm. ''The vital issue was whether we (the U.S.) should recognize Communist China and remove our recognition of Taiwan in the process," said Malm. Malm noted that advisors Cohen and Brzezinski to Presi• dent-elect Carter are thinking of doing that same thing. What do the Feds know ?

Her supervisor, Woody Turner, said that he would give priority to CWE students who apply to his firm, simply because they are the "best people we can use." Turner. who attributes his statement to Kim's performance, also thinks the critique written at the end of each term is a good idea. If .all of this sounds interesting, Bob Way. who coordinates CWE on ·campus, says that students who are interested should make arrangements ahead of time -as a matter of fact, right now in order to be involved by Spring Term.

Teleprompter & Eugene/S pringfield negotiate franchise by Bruno Cohen Teleprompter Cable TV and the cities of Eugene and Springfield are now involved in confidential preliminary negotiations for a new franchise agreement. According to Shirley Swenson, coordinator of the Metropolitan Area Cable/Transl a tor Study (MAC/TS) Commission, a SO-page franchise proposal has been drafted. Eugene City Attorney Stan Long is currently working with Teleprompter on formalizing the franchise proposal for the commission. Details about the contents of the commission's SO-page proposal or estimates as to when Long's initial negotiations with Teleprompter might be completed have not been made public. After a Teleprompter rate increase of $1. 75 per month in August 1974. Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County governments formed the MAC/TS Committee in October of the same year. The committee's purpose was to "explore the possibility of building translators to bring TV broadcast signals" to the area and therefore, possibly Women'sCenter offerswork /study positions - th recommend a public translator. Teleprompter is a private company operating through a franchise arrangement with city governments. A translator is a broadcast relay station which brings distant stations to an area that otherwise could not receive them. Translator signals are broadcast through the air. and anyone within their range can freely receive them. But. on June 10, 1975, the MAC/ TS Committee made its final report. It determined that building translators might have an adverse effect on the area's cable system. •'The committee has concJuded that the public good would best be served b.Y. renegotiating the present cable franchises granted by the cities and developing a franchise for the County so that the local governments have control over rate changes, can establish equitable terms for extension of service and make such other requirements as may be necessary to insure that the cable service adequately serves the public need." Although Eugene's current franchise agreement does not expire until 1980 <Springfield in 1979), the Federal Communications Commission has ordered all ~ranchises between cable companies and municipal governments renegotiated by Marcl. 31. 1977. In its June report the committee had recommended that Teleprompter be given 90 days to agree to renegotiate. If the cable company refused to do so, the :ommittee proposed to go ahead with feasibility studies for a translator system. The report's recommendations were adopted by the Eugene and Springfield city councils. The MAC/ TS Committee then became the MAC/ TS Commission and was given authority to pursue franchise negotiations or translator feasibility studies. depending on Teleprompter's response. Teleprompter at first refused to renegotiate. but later , in December of 1975. changed its mind. Since that time the MAC/ TS Commission drafted its SO-page proposal and named attorney Long their negotiator. According to Tom Williams. chairman of the commission. Long will be provided with as much technical advice as necessary and will consult with three selected members of the nine-member commission as his "backstop." The proposal must be formalized and returned to the commission for recommendation to the Eugene and Springfield city councils. Public hearings will be held before any final decision by the elected bodies is made. The discussions between Long and Teleprompter remain confidential at this point. Both Swenson and Williams point to line extension policy (cable service to new areas). localization and disclosure of Teleprompter's financial records, and rate regulation as some of the major issues for the confidentiality.

According to Phillips. " ... professional people get just half of the skill-training that our people get." Phillips also said that he receives more temporary job openings than there are people to fill them.

Field trips are made in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). the Ranger District of the Willamette National Forest and the private industries in the vicinity. The TORCH asked Phillips if budget cuts have negatively affected the Forestry program. He said that there have been no restrictions on field trip money, but equipment and operational money is tight. Stolen equipment has not been replaced, which means ''. . . students are using equipment unsuited for work," said Phillips. According to forestry student and Forestry Technology Club President. Phil Rapp. there is a need for qualified aides in the department to help students with field work. Since there are only two instructors to assist forty first-year students and twenty-five second-year students. their time is valuable. Rapp also added.

I asked if the elves were being treated properly and receiving the wages they deserve. Santa was more than happy to state that the elves are very pleased with their working environment and with the wage and benefit agreement they have with him. He replied by Michael Riley '' Santa Claus? You want to interview Santa Claus? Sure, go ahead, and while you're at it, talk to Peter Pan tool" My editor was not in her best mood when I suggested doing a story on Santa Claus. In fact, nobody on the TORCH staff believed me when I told them of my appointment with the father of Christmas Tuesday afternoon. Most people argued that Santa dido 't exist, he was nothing but folklore and nobody in their right mind would even talk about interviewing Santa. I have never claimed to be in my "right mind" and as I dashed out to my car I k·new the man I ialked to would be Santa Claus. . It began Tuesday morning when I called Meier and Frank in Valley River Center and inquired about the schedule Santa keeps with them. As a child my mother would take me to M & F's Portland-store and Santa would listen to me and give me a metal truck as a thank-you-for-seeing him, gift. Now as any true believer knows, Santa wouldn't be Santa without gifts and .long ago I figured that Santa helps out that particular chain of stores in a financial as well as a traditional way. I was right, he has his own department and my call was transferred faster than speeding reindeer to the Santa phone. His assistant made the appointment and my heart leaped for joy, I was going to see Santa again! Speeding through the freeway traffic to make the appointment, I wondered if he would recognize me from my earlier visits with him. My question was soon to be answered as I slid into the Valley River Center parking lot and ran toward the store. The moment of glory arrived; I soon found myself face to face with history, SANTA CLAUS!!! My voice quivering, I grovelled at his feet for a few minutes before I realized that I had to conduct an interview. The man was quite understanding and I felt he had seen people make fools of themselves in front of him before. When I recovered from my embarrassing situation I asked if he was indeed the real Santa. Did he merely work for the store as a hobby and did he remember me as the sniveling kid who cried while sitting on his lap? Santa nodded and said, "Yes, Ho Ho Ho." Santa informed me that he and the elves are all set for Christmas and '' Even Rudolph is ready for the big night.'' I inquired as to the age of the famous reindeer and was told that they '' are all getting along in years.'' Santa is looking just as good as ever.

Gallup advocated a one-year, compulsory, nationwide service program for all 18 year olds, male and female. Receiving a decidedly mixed reaction from the crowd of less than 200, Gallup said that the program would serve as a frontal attack on severe social injustices. '' All 18 year olds would be in a military or peace corp related field for one year," asserted Gallup. "It would serve as part of their education for the real world, training for the real world." Calling on president-elect Jimmy Carter to '' awaken America's sleeping giant National Service," Gallup added, "college students today have a very strong social conscience," and that according to his polls, a large majority of young people favor ·his proposal.

He credits the program's success to the special effects by local businesses, clubs, churches, and \ citizens over its years of operation. Witzke estimated he has been with the project since 1972. Witzke says the project will deliver gifts to Lrne County children throughout the state, as needs are assessed by counselors and case workers. The children are placed by the county in various shelter homes and schools in the state. Those interested in contributing gifts to the project can contact Witzke at the Lane County Juvenile Department, at 687-4115.

Hayden Hodges, a physics instructor and the meteorological instructor in the Science Department, said his prediction is the same he came up with earlier in the fall: He said the beginning of winter would be marked by a series of storms, the first one on December 17; these storms would be ''blowly,'' he said, •'with not a great deal of rain''; he predicts that these storms will continue through December 24 and that Christmas day ''will be a fairly nice day.'' But he stated flatly that, m his Judgement, there would be no snow. Chet Wolf who works in Electronics Maintenance in the basement of the Center Building. is a weather buff with SO years experience. Wolf says he makes his predictions by listening to the radio. He predicts that it will be "awfully wet before Christmas" and that Christmas will be wet. He adds that this is based largely on his 50 years experience. Another method of prediction is used by Terry Harbour who contends that "looking out the window is the best" way to predict the weather. Harbour was once a student of Hodges and was known for his accurate predictions. Harbour says he thinks it will rain within the next couple of weeks, although he doesn't think it will "precipitate'' in the next few days because he says he has "no aching in my elbows" from arthritis. He does predict a mild Christmas with the temperature up between 40 and SO degrees. Roger Houglum. an instructor from the Electronics Department who is also a weather buff, says this year may be different but not drastically so. he said it will be 52 degrees, mild and overcast with a south wind blowing on Christmas day. He added that it may be dry or it may be wet but that Christmas will not be white. Houglum is also basing his prediciton on "experience." The weather bureau gave us "just a guess," predicting that "once we get back in the swing of winter" there will be storms off and on till next summer with perhaps some heavy rain. So there you have a weather report to plan your vacation around. I hope that it is helpful and that you have a good vacation and Merry Christmas.

'I , •'I by Fred Craft,;; Youngsters will be admitted free when Lane Community College hosts the Linfield College JVs in basketball Saturday night (Dec. 11). Tipoff time is 7:30 p.m. in the first annual "Kid's Night" at the LCC gym. The event kicks off a series of special athletic promotions (which will later also include women's basketball and wrestling) geared toward making the community more aware of the quality of LCC athletics, according to Lane Athletic Director Dick Newell. "We believe we have an outstanding group of athletes at Lane who are extremely entertaining. Many of them are from the Eugene-Springfield area. People will be very surprised -- and excited -- over the ability of our athletes," says Newell. ''Frankly, we think we'le the best entertainment in town." Admission to Lane basketball is $1.50 each (LCC students and senior citizens are admitted free). Children through age 12 will also be admitted free to Saturday's game. "Our basketball team is outstanding," says Newell. ''The players are super, and they really move the ball. Good shooters. Great defense. They put on a fine show, win or Jose.'' For the record, Lane normally wins. The Titans have a record of 45 wins and 13 losses over the past two seasons, while winning the Oregon Community College Athletic Assn. championship for two consecutive years. Players have won a number of all-star honors, and coach Dale Bates has been named coach-of-the-year. ''The teams in our league now point to us as the true champions," says Bates. "We're like the Oregon Ducks: Everybvdy wants to beat us, and plays their best against us. But the challenge bring.,; out the best in us." Despite outstanding success on the court, the team has played to sparse crowds. Thus, Newell, in his first year as athletic director, is attempting to generate more spectator interest. "Kid's Night" on Saturday is the first step. Persons attending the game will find ample parking close by, a well-lighted gymnasium, courtside seating, snack bars and a Titan Straw Hat Pep Band (which makes its debut Saturday). Tenor Milt Madden, LCC history Herpes virus is immune Everyone (CPS)--Worried about contracting one of the lesser joys of sex? Are you secure in feeling that a shot of the old cure-all, penicillin. will eradicate any of those nasty, painful symptoms that come packaged with venereal diseases? Did it ever cross your mind that one of the little buggers may be immune to all known cures? The National Center for Disease Control reports there is a new strain of VD catching both the public and the medical community with their pants down. It's called Herpes Simplex Virus and there is no known cure. The more common version, HS 2, is generally called Genital Herpes and its increase as a communicable disease is causing public health officials to have more than an occasional headache. Herpes is not your everyday infectious disease. Unlike gonorrhea or syphillis, which are bacterial infections. herpes is a virus. But unlike other known, curable virus infections (i.e.-Hong Kong flu), herpes will lodge in the nerve cells. Permanently. Antibodies already present, or injected. have little or no effect. ·Normally. the human body can produce its own defenses, antibodies, which will attack and kill foreign substances. Even after a case of measles, mumps or the flu, the ·body will build up resistance to ward the disease off the next time around. One health official in Denver, Colorado said that 90 per cent of the adult population over twenty have herpes antibodies already built into their circulatory system. These will gobble up some of the herpes virus entering the body but the disease can still be caught and the symptoms are quite painful. Recent studies confirm that women who have herpes have eight times greater chance of getting cervical cancer. One medical text estimates that six per cent of the women who have herpes will get cervical cancer within five years. One of every four infants of infected mothers die at birth. Children that do survive may have serious complications. including brain damage. Although gonorrhea is still first on the list of venereal diseases, herpes is bucking for the number two slot with an estimated 300.000 persons infected annually. Symptoms include either cold sores around the mouth or blisters and open sores around the genitals, thighs or buttocks. The symptoms may disappear within a month but may recur periodically up to two years after the initial contact. While the virus Itself cannot be killed, local treatments may be applied to reduce pain and prevent infection. Several other treatments are now being studied in Seattle. Washington. Doctors recommend no sexual contact if a person has lesions, or open sores. Any sign of the above symptoms warrants an immediate visit to a doctor or local health clinic. ·v· [ e v t • . •. , 'd • instructor, will sing the "Star Spangled Banner."

The study by M. Harvey Brenner, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, further documents previously acknowledged relationships between the economic health of the nation and the physical and mental health of its people. The study was based on the 1970 population and used statistics compiled over the last three decades. It found that in 1970. when there was a 1.4 per cent rise in unemployment. the increase was responsible for the following illnesses and admissions to institutions: •1540 suicides (5. 7 per cent of the total); •7660 admissions to state prisons (5.6 per cent of the total); •5520 admissions to state mental _hospitals (4. 7 per cent of the total); • 1740 murders (8 per cent of the total); •870 deaths from cirrhosis of the liver (2. 7 per cent of the total}; •26.440 deaths from CVR diseases (2. 7 per cent of the total). The rise in unemployment since 1970 is expected to have a tremendous impact on these statistics, one that "is not in any fashion included" in the above figures. ..

She has been active for several years as a volunteer with the National Council on Alcoholism and the Alcoholism Council of Greater Los Angel• es. the proposition that nothing is serious.'' That's the way Executive Producer Rachel Gille described KLCC•TV's upcoming special "Friday Night Dead or Alive." The show is a half-hour lampoon of news programs, with appropriate commercials, and is intended to be shown on cable station KOZY Jan. 7, 1977 at 11:30 p.m. The program is being produced by students in LCC's Mass Communications Department. Departmental approval of the pilot, now in production, is required before the show's release to KOZY. Gille, along with co-producers Capt. B. Woodie and Tonner Hays, claim that "Friday Night" is intended as a cure for America's most prevalent disease -- TV . drool -- a condition brought on by long hours of watching network television. The producers predict that viewers of their show will never again watch television. "They may continue to drool." said Capt. Woodie, "but we will have attained a semantic cure, that's the important thing.

The Lane County Council on Alcoholism offers this free program of entertainment to acquaint the public with its activities, which include information and referral service with 24-hour telephone coverage and counseling. The council has speakers and films available for schools and other groups, free literature, and it operates two recovery houses. It is a non-profit citizens organization, founded in 1962 to fight alcoholism on the local level. Its program is based on the belief that alcoholism is a disease and that the alcoholic is a worthwhile human being who deserves the same consideration one would give a person with any other disease. The free program will begin at 7:30 p.m. Thursday , December 9, in the auditorium on the Lane County Fairgrounds, Eugene. Annual council business will be conducted from 7 to 7:30.

They also deny that shows such as "Saturday Night Live," "Laugh In," or "That Was the Week That Was" served as any inspiration to them. Hays emphasized the controversial nature of "Friday Night" but assured the TORCH that those who do not watch the show will not be offended by it. When asked who the program was intended for Hays responded with a blank stare, but added that ''you won't have to drink pot, snort beer, or smoke coke to enjoy it." Capt. Woodie expressed his great pride in the program's opening. "The show will start with an impulse of energy that will freeze your tuner in position." His eyes ' glowed feverishly as he described the huge generator he is building to fulfill the technical requirements. He than launched into an unintelligible account of torpedoing an ·Australian submarine off the coast of Maui during his Coast Guard days. Gille says that ''unless someone catches us," taping of the pilot will be completed by December 17. >/ ; l 1 welbeRs This reviewer found himself wishing for a rudimentary map showing the approxi• mate locations of the various houses of worship. The importance of Mrs. Freeman's book can be found in the Preface.'' "No written work exists in which this material is brought together." After reading this volume it would be difficult to pass by a church mentioned in the book without making an effort to stop or to mark its location for a future visit. In summation, an important heritage of history, religion, and architecture has been brought to our attention in a pleasing manner in this work, A Guide to Early Milt Madden Oregon Churches. ' I f• ; ., ,:;, ' !' Exhibit continues Last week's craft fair at LCC was termed a "moderate success," but a disappointment by its organizers in the American Welding Society (AWS). LCC Chapter President David Andre blames a compet• ing fair at the University of Oregon for the lack of expected participation in the event here at Lane. Unlike the LCC American Welding Society's fair, the U of O Craft Center fair is not a profit-making venture. They lost money- last year, and Tom Urban, coordinator, estimates they will just break even this year. !Registration schedule- presently enrolled students December 14 . . . . . . . .

Each section introduces the denomination with a short sketch of its history in Oregon. This includes information about individuals and events important to the history of that particular sect. Often comments concerning present furnishings, tlieir immediate surrounds, and their physical appearance are included. In every instance a picture of the past or present edifice situated on the locat•on in question is included. • Mrs. Freeman's style is very readable. The facts together with a skillful use of anecdotal material will maintain the reader's interest. Inspirational quotes or comments often conclude each individual church section.
