If the Board approves the whole package prepared by student government officers it could assess the student body a total of $20,000 through a proposed 15 cent per credit-hour formula.

She maintains that the groundwork had been laid for settling many of the non-economic issues in the negotiations, but that the parties are still "fairly far apart" on the economic issues. Heuser said that the Board's last offer entailed a 4 per cent wage increase on Oct. 1, and an additional 3 per cent increase on havoc on the unsuspecting worl<l. Jan. 1, 1978.

ASLCC Vice-President John Miller has stated that this proposed budget is very necessary. He has called the current ASLCC budget ''tokenism,'' due to "Administration control." He has said that four years ago the ASLCC controlled all student fee budgets, including finances for the TORCH, athletic programs, and health services, but that in the past three years ''the Administration has methodically stripped the ASLCC of all its power, leaving the students with very little say about where their money goes." The proposed budget, he explained, will restore some services and representation to the students. Asked to comment on his office's view of the new proposal Dean of Students Jack Carter stated there will be a proposal for the students to vote on following the next LCC Board of Education meeting, but "Exactly what that will look like I can't say right now.'' The Board has the option of approving only selected ''appropriate'' items of the total budget, according to Carter.

Carleson told me that Commission. A hunter, in my definition, is anyone who enjoys hunting for meat -- for food. I've hunted, both for deer and rabbit in Eastern Oregon. There is really no set mold for hunting. As for the area around here, Moore has seen all kinds of animals, ranging from small grey squirrels to a mountain lion. He doesn't hunt everything he sees and has some advice for those who hunt and for future hunters. "Know your target." Moore feels that everyone should fully identify what it is they are shooting at and I, for one, can agree with that. Deer season for the Northwest region will continue through Nov. 6. Elk season begins on Oct. 29 for Rocky Mountain Elk and on Nov. 12 for Roosevelt Elk.

Carleson adds, "It Is also prohibited to hunt from a public road or road right of way.'' Carleson also stated that the deer in the South Eugene area have been causing damage to property, amounting to "hundreds of dollars.'' He maintains that some people would like to see hunting legalized in the area to alleviate this problem. While Moore hunts in open areas that are legal, there are some people who feel A hunting can be done anywhere. spokesperson for the Oregon State Police says that "all hunting violations basically are class A misdemeanors.

Land Since· ·s tores that carry used records have to get them somewhere (radio stations don't go out of business every day), it makes sense that somebody ·somewhere, sometime, buys an album that turns out to be an unmitigated turkey. • When the turkey investor discovers his error, he or she has to decide whether to keep the record or dispose of it. If it's kept, the album usually ends up at the bottom of the pile, warped and cobwebbed beyond recognition. . Ttlere are many ways to dispose of such jetsam. You can let your kid brother use it for a frisbee. Some people give them away as birthday or Xmas gifts; this action risks offending the recipient ("Whaddisdis, it's already open?!). Or, you may attempt to sell the disc and recover at least part of the purchase price. (I once made $50 selling some old albums at a table in a college cafeteria, but some people aren't as persuasive as I am. Maybe the free dope inside the covers helped.) , The surest way of getting rid of an album you don't care for is to sell it to a used record dealer. Sure, you won't receive as much cash as you would selling it yourself, but then you're saved the hassles of obtaining a retail license. The method is not foolproof, however, so here are some tips on how to get your money's worth. • It pays to shop around and obtain several different bids on your albums. To illustrate this point, I took a random sampling of 14 of my albums, all in excellent condition, to three local shops and asked each shop for bids on each album. The bids varied widely from dealer to dealer; in only one case did all three shops offer me the same price for an album. One store offered me five doilars for an expensive direct-cut jazz album; another shop didn't ,, even bid on it ("No demand," the · man said). The total bids from all three stores added up to $17.75, $19, and $23.25. However, selling each album to the store that offered the highest price for it would have netted me $28.50; which is a significant monetary increase. • The original price you paid for a record means nothing to a retailer. He will judge your albums according to two standards: 1) Condition of the record; and 2) Store's estimate of resale opportunity. The latter condition is the one that will vary most between retailers. If a store already has a used copy of an album that you bring in, chances are they won't buy your copy. Also, if an album is known by the store to be a proven "slow seller" or "garbage," the record will earn a relatively low bed regardless of the shape it's in. • The condition of the records, however, is the most important variable. A shop usually will not offer more than 10 cents for a disc that resembles the mrface of the moon. ''Slight'' surface imperfections (minor warps and ;cratches) will often be tolerated although the bid will be downgraded accordingly. Also, a good record in a shot cover is always worth more than a shot record in a good cover. It also helps if the record is clean. This does not mean you should- run it through a dishwasher. Rather, surface dust should be removed with something like a Disc Preener, Discwasher or other record sanitation apparatus. General grun9e can be remove~_with mild solution of Jov Detergent and tep~_~ater. IT'S NOT TOO LATE!

In the part of the film that deals with the theologians, in which all the major religions of the western world are represented, only one theological representative is singled out to ridicule. He is a character not unlike Reverand Ike, or Billy Graham. He is made to seem totally hypocritical and full of B.S. And yet the other representatives are almost ignored and retain some dignity for their office. )'es it's still true . . . Thou shalt not make light of the Papacy, etc. However, the film still manages to indicate that none of the religions are without questionable credibility. '' Oh God,'' a film by Carl Reiner opened Friday at the Valley River Twin. I was there for the first viewing, and will probably return to laugh some more. "Oh God,'' is not intellectually sophisticated, it is not riddled with violence, and there are no explicit sex scenes. It is an enjoyable experience. God appears on Earth in comedian George Burns' body, but only John i>enver, as an assistant manager of a supermarket, can see or hear him. God has a message for the world. and asks the assistant manager to deliver it for him. Denver induces a pleasant believability into the character of the assistant manager. At first he is leery and doubtful, but God persuades him to accept the reality of His presence, and Denver finally sees the light.

His mission is to report to the rest of the United States just what is going on in ''Ecotopia. '' Had Callenbach written the book in third person it would have proved to be more interesting. He could have developed '' Ecotopian'' characters and their inner beliefs and philosophies. But as it is, we see only . the one-sided viewpoint of the foreigner, Weston. And he is a -simple character with few complexities, which makes him an unmemorable fictional character. The saving grace of the book is in the subject matter.

Another problem may be sleep apnea. This usually happens to a middle-aged man who spends much of the night virtually breathless for periods. ranging from ten seconds to several minutes. In between these breath holding episodes, he snores so loudly that he may awaken himself as well as the neighbors. Sleeplessness is sometimes due to a disturbance of our circadian rhythm. This is the rhythm of our body temperature as it relates to our wakefullness. Normally our body temperature moves in a bell-shaped curve, being lowest in the morning when we awaken, rising throughout the day to its highest peak in the afternoon when we are most active, then falling back to its lowest point in the evening at bedtime. Jet lag, late nights, or other factors cause a shift in this biological clock which regulates wakefullness and sleep. Adhering to a strict schedule of bedtime and waking hours can reset the body clock. Chronic insomnia can be associated with chronic anxiety, depression, neuroses, or sexual problems. Treatment for the basic problem often alleviates the insomnia. Many insomniacs find that reaching for sleeping pills is not the answer. The temporary relief doesn't last and usually adds a new dimension to the problem. Pills usually lose their effectiveness in two weeks and they suppress dreaming which interferes with the normal stages of sleep. Some helpful suggestions for troubled sleepers follow: . • In order to reinforce the idea that bed is a place for sleeping: a) go to bed only when tired, b) use your bed only for sleeping or sex (not for reading, eating, watching TV, worrying, etc.), c) if you can't go to sleep within a reasonable time, get up and go to another room. • Get up and go to bed at regular times. Don't take naps, get up when the alarm rings, etc. until you develop a consistent and natural sleep rhythm. • Remember, insomnia is sometimes a state of mind; no one dies of insomnia and no one can stay awake forever. • Relaxation techniques practiced prior to your proposed bedtime will assist you to sleep. • Decreasing known stimulants, e.g. coffee, colas, cigarettes, and exciting activities.can be a prelude to restful sleep. • Q -----------------------------, ~ CXJ· @ne Commull.Jtu College Vol.15, No. 6, Oct. 27 --:f!ID:s:;:8, 1977 4000 E. 30th ~:ve., Eugene, OR., I ,- '•··- ,.~ ., r Daycare center h~ vacancies by Jeanine Streeter For the first time in · the - LCC Child Care Center's history the facility is actively looking for children of LCC parents to fill 10' vacancies. All of the openings are at the center located at the Unitarian Church at 40th and Donald Streets. Linda Riepe, director ot the center, said, however, that the second of the two child care centers operated by the college--the campus center--is filled to capacity. "We've never had this happen before," said Riepe. "Usually both centers have waiting lists totaling SO to 60 parents" who are eager to enroll their children. Letters to students who put their names on this fall's waiting lists turned up few responses this week. Child Care Center staff members assume most students have already made arrangements for their children. But Riepe said that if LCC students do not respond to the announcement of these vacancies the center will seek application from LCC staff members and the public in general, two groups normally excluded from participating because student-parents have first choice. The normal fee per child is 9... cents per hour, which includes the cost of a noon meal. Parents can leave their children up to eight hours per day on the day they have classes, but must schedule for a minimum of four hours per day, two days per week. The Child Care Center is located in the Health and Physical Education Building, and Riepe can be reached at LCC extension 208.
