The LCC Board of Education, in its March meeting, voted the tuition increase. It also voted unanimously to ratify the hard-won agreement already ratified by the instructors' union (LCCEA), and to temporarily halt the athletic department's testing of athletes for drug use. • Tuition The tuition increase, which will boost student costs from the current $19 per credit hour, to $21 per credit hour, passed five to two. (See related story, this page.) Chairman of the Board Jim Pitney, who voted for the increase, said he didn't believe the increase would affect student enrollment. Board member Bill Manley, who also voted for the increase, pointed out that the college's three main sources of revenue are state taxes, local taxes, and tuition. He said that since the college may ask both the state and the taxpayers for more money, it was only fair that students also shoulder more of the load. "I think we need to bite the bullet," he said. Board members Bob Bowser and Larry Perry voted against the increase. Perry said, ''Every year we vote for tuition increases. I decided we need to make a stand and say 'No more!' -- to quit looking for the easy way and find that money somewhere else.'' • Contract Ratification Pitney said the contract agreement was a time for celebration, while LCCEA Pres. Dixie Mau~er-Clemons expressed displeasure that the workload issue was still not settled.(See see Votes, page 11 Lewis wins Board election by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Staff Writer Martin Lewis, LCC student and director of the Student Resource Center, defeated incumbent Robert Bowser to win the at-large position on the LCC Board of Education during the March 25 election. Lewis, with 12,341 votes, had a comfortable 678 vote margin over Bowser's 11,663 votes. Gordon Wahto placed a distant third with 4,008 votes. When asked for his reaction to the ·election results, Bowser responded, ''I was kind of shocked, obviously, by the results of the election. I was very surprised . I don't know all the reasons for what happened (at the polls), but things will go on, I guess. I was very disappointed." spent Lewis approximately $270.00 campaigning to about 149,000 voters.

The past 20 years have witnessed a dozen such increases. But what does the $2 per-credit increase mean to next year's group of students, in the face of simultaneous cut-backs in Financial Aid? Cut-backs, such as those mandated by GrammRudman, will effect eligibility for some students. But, according to Director of Financial Aid Linda Wadell, if students are still eligible, an increase in financial aid will help pay the higher tuition. ' 'The administration was 'seriously concerned' about . the impact a tuition increase would have on LCC' s needy I students," says Wadell. was consulted by Jack Carter from the very beginning of the proposal. They always want to know before they make a recommendation like this to the board, how an increase will affect students, 11 see Increase, page 4 Page 2 April 4, 1986 The TORCH Dedication Dear Editor, This letter is dedicated to a fellow student: Kathryn Ann Lemcke Fating, who passed away on February 22, 1986, from diabetes. She leaves this world a little emptier with her going. I know that I, myself, her many friends and instructors, her 4 children, and her fiance, Wayne Russell, mourn her absence immensely. Kathy Faling was a very dedicated, hard-working, young woman, who managed to juggle a full-time student load in the nursing program, a job, and a family. She always had a kind word, or a warm smile for someone in need, whether it was a friend, or just some person who needed help. I'm very proud that I can say, "Yes, Kathy Faling was a friend of mine!" And thanks to LCC, there will be others (some who will never meet her) that can say the same thing. For in her memory a fund has been started here, at this school, for single parents. I don't know the exact qualifications, but one is a need for financial emergency assistance, within the family. What a God-send such a fund can be! I, personally, hope that this fund helps a struggling parent obtain his or her educational goals. Through such a tribute, Kathy's loss won't be in vain. Thank you LCC, and all of you -- her friends who reached out with such love and understanding in this time of great need. If you are a single parent in need, please contact the Stu- It's-the shoes that really challenge logic by Karen Irmsher TORCH Editor Since we, as students, are supposed to learn how to dress for success, I've been studying the costumes of "successful" women. I've noticed that women who are "making it," or trying to break into administrative or power positions, more often than not wear suits and high heeled shoes. I've been trying to figure out why. Of course there's the easy answer: that's what the people in power are wearing, so the comers have to copy that costume. But why did anyone wear an outfit like that in the first place? I've come up with a few ideas. The suits are usually slightly feminized, but all are made of thicker-than-average high-quality cloth and have shoulder pads. The thick cloth and cut of the suit tend to minimize both curves and bulges. That makes sense. Breasts are inherently unbusinesslike. They must be subdued. And fat, on both men and women, needs hiding. Fat is rarely revered, and most middle-aged, successful business people have more than they woufd like everyone to know about. Imagine if our major decision makers -- members of congress, beads of states, members of city councils and boards of directors -- had to campaign and then transact business while naked, without the donned dignity of a fine suit. It would become quite clear that for many powerful people, they lost control of their bodies, while they were gaining control elsewhere. As it is now, they can show they are in control by having enough money to afford expensive suits. Shoulder pads made sense for men, since male power was • originally based on brute force, and even in this "civilized" age we can't help but respond to some of that primal big shoulder stimuli. It's the shoes that really challenge logic. They certainly aren't copied from men, though men may have invented them. They are uncomfortable, hard on spines and feet. Women kick them off with grateful sighs qf relief, whenever they can. They make women a little taller, which could increase the sense of power, but it appears to me that their two main functions are at odds with the de-sexing purposes of the suit. They deform the le_g, thin the ankle, and thus emJ?hasize the attractiveness of tne calf muscle. Then the smalleroase of support forces a woman to take steps closer to a straight line in order to keep the foot that is holding her weight, under her. This emphasizes the twitching of nicely rounded buns, the motion of which has tnarguably high entertainment value. But beauteous buttocks and finely turned calves operate from an entirely different power base than big shoulders. It must be very confusing for both the wearer and the viewer. Why do they do it, I asked my friend Lois, who lives on the Smith River, near Drain, in a house she built herself. I can always count on Lois to have an answer. Lois says they do it to retain some hold on femininity while they' re having to sacrifice so much of their costuming and behavior to find acceptance in the male power structure. Is she right? Why do you think women wear high heels? I wish I could get an interview with Imelda Marcos. dent Resource Center. If you are not, why not pledge a dollar, or 50 cents in Kathy's name. You might just be helping the next "Einstein" or ''Madame Curie'' to graduate. Sincerely, Sarah L.

EPAC' s Food Service SubCommittee report is almost complete. Some of the recommendations in the report are a 9 p.m. closing time for the snack bar, as well as a salad bar and hot entree at night. Feedback from the administration on these proposals has been very positive. I would encourage all evening students to use the snack bar.

The TORCH April 4, 1986 Page 3 Former LCC student might receive Pulitzer Prize by Laurie Riedberger Beat Reporter Could the "You can at LCC!'' slogan include receiving a Pulitze~ Prize? One LCC graduate, former TORCH editor Sarah Jenkins, will know this month. Charles According Cochrane, publisher of the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin (UB), his newspaper recently submitted a series of articles written by LCC alumna Sarah Jenkins and fellow judges thought highly of the articles.'' Further encouragement came from former Pulitzer judge and winner, Ted Natt and other leaders in the newspaper industry. The series began as a investigative story concerning two Walla Walla area residents who succumbed to the promise of 36 percent interest from investment in a so-called '' off-shore shell bank.'' The reporters exposed what may be a $73 million dollar pyramid scam which attracted investors from 44 states and 13 foreign nations, according to UB 's Managing • Editor Rick Doyle. Cochrane says it was Doyle who submitted the entry in the Pulitzer Prize competition, working through the extensive paperwork of the nomination process with Jenkins and Lancaster. There are 13 categories a news organization might enter. Jenkins says the UB has entered their series in two categories: One for the Public Service Gold Medal Award for a newspaper, which is the reporting category in which Jenkins and Lancaster felt their series would have the best chance; reporter Michael Lancaster for entry in the Pulitzer Prize Competition for Journalism. Cochrane says that although anyone can submit an entry in the Pulitzer competition, "to my knowledge, most people practice selfrestraint. Our decision to enter was made after the paper won the 1985 Public Service Award of the Associated Press Managing Editors' Association which showed us that inde endent the other is the Explanatory Journalism category, which means "You take a complex issue and explain how it affects the readers." The Pulitzer Prize competition consists of the following steps. original • Sending newspaper clips (no copies) mounted in a scrapbook or portfolio of a minimum size. • Writing a summary of the stories and history of their development. • Writing a one-page personal biography of the reporter /reporters. • Submitting black and white mug shots. • Submitting a $20 fee for each entry. ''It's such an incredible feeling," says Jenkins, "not only having the series submitted, but having others on the paper feel it was good enough to go through the hassle of entering.'' Jenkins wrote for The TORCH during the 1978-79 college year, was an assistant editor during 1979-80, and was the editor-in-chief in 1980-81. She was the first LCC journalism intern at the Eugene Register Guard, and continued to write for the RG on a freelance basis while she attended LCC and then the U of 0. In 1979 she won the Sigma Delta Chi (professional 1· ournalism society) Award or the Best Feature Story by a college writer in the Pacific Northwest. When a student at the U of 0, she served as editiorial assistant at Old Oregon Magazine. She earned her BS degree in journalism in 1982, and shortly thereafter began the as career her business/ agriculture reporter for the Walla Walla UnionBulletin. She was promoted to news editor at the UB Feb. 1. She says she feels good about her career. "A lot I've been able to do here is, quite honestly, from what I learned at LCC; the TORCH provided an incredible experience.'' Cochrane says it's "a longshot'' for a six-reporter newspaper like the UB to be condsidered for the award. No one knows what will appeal to the judges. "It's just a roll of the dice,'' Cochrane says. ::::l Cl/ ~ i-.. • Cl/ s' "CJ ·@ ta i::cl u >, "CJ i:: i:: ta > ta ~ i:: i:: >-. ,..0 ~ 0 0 ..c:: 0 ·' ll..

BLOWTORCH by Michael Spilman blows 'em away by Lauri Riedberger TORCH Staff Writer Two extremely agitated women approached Information Specialist Jerry Sirois Tuesday, demanding to know why the fourth floor of the Center Building was being shut down. Sirois calmed them by calling their attention to a slightly different name at the top of the newspaper's cover. These women were innocent victims of The TORCH's annual April 1 spoof, this The called year BLOWTORCH. According to Lisa Zimmerman, managing editor of the TORCH, the now traditional April Fool issue -- this year called the Blowtorch -- has always been received with the response desired by its writers -- laughter. Turner awards three T-shirts TORCH Staff Writer Torch Adviser Pete Peterson says the br~instorming for the first ' sophomore humor'' issue came from Sarah Jenkins and Frank Babcock in 1979. The cover of the first issue, christened The Scorch, featured a scratch and sniff picture of an armpit. It was a huge success, says Peterson. Peterson says it is important to note that the staff worked on the issue on their own time, during spring vacation. It was "extra -above, and beyond" the call of duty. Zimmerman says this year's Blowtorch was designed to give students time to step back and take a break from seriousness. I really love doing humor. •As the saying goes, laughter is the best medicine.'' 1 11 "I hope I earn one one of these days,'' said LCC President Richard Turner as he awarded T-shirts to Mary Cudney, Marilyn Rholl and Richard Dittmar. On March 18, Turner presented these three LCC employees with the shirts in honor of their health and fitness achievements. The brief ceremony took place in Turner's office. Cudney, of the Learning Resource Center, earned her fitness award by bowling an average. score of 134 during an all-women's city league weekend tournament. Rholl, who works in the Business Department, earned her T-shirt by jogging and attending one of LCC' s selfdefense classes, which she ''highly recommends.'' Dittmar, from Security, bench pressed 165 lbs., and in another workout ran 4 miles. Dittmar, Rholl and Cudn.e y are now the original award winners in a new ' Staff Fitness'' program conducted by LCC' s Health & Physical Education Department (PE) at Lane. According to PE Instructor Kurt Schultz, the color T-shirt award goes to staff members who've completed 25 hours worth of seminars or physical education training. Seminar topics include lower-back care, nutrition and a stop smoking'' program. Acquiring hours is one of two options available to staff. The second avenue for participation is a program in which participants keep track of distances they cover while exercising. This program is called Oregon Community College Circuit" (OCCC). 1 11 11 For the OCCC, a map of Oregon will be placed in the trophy case in the P.E. lobby. Each exerciser will have a small line marker that crawls across the Oregon map miniature mile by miniature mile as he or she logs in more distance, says Schultz. Furthermore, participants must be "self-propelled" when they do their exercises, says Schultz. Motorized assistance is not permitted. Whether an employee bicycles, walks, swims, runs or rows, he must use his own energy. exercise can Staff anywhere they desire, but they should fill out their activity log cards at the Intramural Office or main desk in the PE Department. Staff from the Downtown Center and LCC' s numerous outreach centers may also join the action, but WorkStudy and SFE people are excluded. Schultz says the PE Department encourages staff to take advantage of its equipment. 0 ..c: 0....

I d \ ~ BAA According to Mari Reed, architectural technician for Campus Services, the decision was made by the Facilities Management Committee. Its decision is the result of complaints from non-smokers who felt that the earlier smoking/nonsmoking divisions were inadequate. Reed says that the main goal is to have smoke-free pathways. The routes which specifically concern the FMC are: (1) the path which begins at the northeast entrance of the dining room, and passes in front of the elevator and Renaissance Room, (2) the aisle that runs through the snack bar area, (3) the passageway leading to Student Health and Campus Ministry. Red and white markers have sprung up this week around the cafeteria and snack bar to designate new smoking areas. The smokers' section in the northeast corner of the cafeteria has been reduced from approximately 4,800 square feet to roughly 4,050, and a similar section to the south of the snack bar has been reduced from approximately 1,350 to about 1,012 square feet. 2465 HILYARD • rr-n-~-o-rr C CENTER ~ 0 10 20 30 40 TORCH Staff Writer THE BEANERY 9 Cl ~ SCALE BLDG. #11 ?I C Elllll-l.tYEL CENTER 1 lffil j-~= D 5 CAFETERIA ROOM 687-2211 AGENT: GENE MANLEY Students who are not on any sort of financial aid will be the ones without any compensation for the increase. For them, the additional $21 per term will come out of their own pockets. Wadell admits it's not easy to find a solution that is absolutely ''fair'' for everyone. "But," she says, there's no way this • college could preserve the instructional programs without this increase. The board was contacted by students who said they would gladly pay more if the board could preserve the programs." 11 Wadell says the increase was debated by the board for a long time. "Looking to the taxpayers, who are already struggling to put food on the table, seemed out of the question. It's the students who benefit the most from their education.'' The increase will generate an estimated additional $426,000 toward LCC's 1986-87 budget of $29,635,100. Tuition and fees make up approximately 20 percent of the total revenue income each year.

And she means what she says, even if it does sound routine. before they fill numbers. during the formal registration days each term, and she likes her work. in the ''If students would double check what they've written down, it might eliminate some of the repeats," says Proudfit. ''The students need to check their copies to be sure the sequence numbers are what tney want. Sometimes they've written it down wrong; sometimes the "I enjoy the one-to-one with the students," she says. Proudfit says she guesses she can keep smiling through the thousands of students each term because she's basically a happy person. Between terms, she's a homemaker and volunteers some time at Sacred Heart Hospital. She also works with her church group and belongs to a quilt club. And she looks forward to registration for the challenge. Director of Admissions Bob Marshall estimates that at least one out of three, and maybe as many as one out of two, registrants must repeat some part of the registralion process. ''It's time-consuming for everybody," says Marshall,' 'but it is part of the procedure.'' And he agrees it's better to get things straightened out during registration than to wait until the first day of classes. "There's something new every time," she says. Well, maybe not the phrase, she laughs. But she promises she'll make it sound new anyway.

The gift is primarily the result of LCC' s effective communication and the Beaverton-based company's magnanimous attitude. In response to a letter from Jim Dunne, head of LCC' s Mass Communication Department, Tektronix has donated over $20,000 of video-production equipment -- one oscilloscope, an oscilloscope cart, two color monitors (which have not yet arrived) and two wave-formmonitor/ ve ctor-s cop es (WFM-VS). In his letter, written last December, Dunne told Tektronix Sales Manager Warren Beals about fhe department's "crisis." First, Dunne mentioned the excellent "product" the Broadcast and Visual Design program is producing -- its students. But he explained that the department was lacking some crucial equipment to do its job well. Dunne also pointed out that LCC' s shrinking revenue makes it difficult to supply student needs, and that the department cannot effectively test its gear. And some equipment is irreparable. Therefore, Dunne explained, during Spring Term video production courses could not be adequately conducted. In his communication, Dunne asked Beals to accept $5,000 from the college as payment for some needed items, and requested that the company donate other videoproduction equipment to LCC. Tektronix approved the donation request. Beals himself drove the equipment to LCC on Feb. 20. Dunne says a major benefit from the donation will come from the oscilloscope that will help Chief Engineer Bob Tanner quickly pinpoint problems in TV production equipment, saving great amounts of time anamoney:. This means equipment will be available to students on a more consistent basis, says Dunne. The WFM-VS units will provide students with the abilility to make faithful plus steps on the salary schedule -- if they are eligible. (More than half of the faculty are on the final step and ineligible for such a step increase. Of the approximately 400 faculty at LCC, 283 are full-time.)

One hundred and fifty-two permits to construct single family dwellings were issued in 1985, while only 70 were issued in 1984. The total number of permits issued in 1985 was 1,547. The total economic impact was $22 million greater than in 1984. In 1984, 193 permits were issued for dwelling units, while 1985 saw the number rise to 346.

Sixty-eight units were demolished to make way for the construction of new units. Of these, 26 were single family dwellings. "1985 was a very g~>0d Y':ar for the construction industry,'' says Cheshire. One independent construction worker, "Boone" Parker adds, "On the nationwide scale, Eugene has a very promising future because of the tax base and the availability of resources. I haven't had to go look for jobs because there are a lot of jobs here and I usually have one lined up before I'm finished with one. This is good bec;ause I've had a few lean years.

Titan catcher Scott Smith makes the play on teammate Bill Townsend during practice. Titan sluggers optim istic about season despite youth fulne ss by Darren Foss TORCH Sports Editor The 1986 Titan Baseball team is fielding a predominately young team this season with only five returning players and eight freshman. Last year's team finished second place in the league, and made it to the regional playoffs. Despite a young team, Head Coach Bob Foster remains optimistic. "We should finish in the top three this season in league, and hopefully make the playoffs," comments Foster. ''Mt Hood is the overwhelming favorite to take the league title this season." The Titans' top returner is co-captain Ted Davis, who is a shortstop and pitcher. Davis led the team with a .433 batting average and was selected as an NWAACC first team all-star last season: The other co-captain is sophomore transfer Leo Francis from Northern Idaho College. He plays both the infield and outfield for the Titans. "He's a smart player, has good speed, and ha~ already helped the team tremendously," says Foster. . Other top_ returning sophomores mclude Dan Luneski who plays ~econd and thir~ _base, and is currently hittmg .280 after the California trip. • Aaron Helfrich is back as the team's starting catcher and occasionally pitches. He has a quick right arm to throw out runners attempting to steal. "He had a great game against Sacramento City College already this season. He threw out nine guys, but then pulled -some tendons in his right elbow while pitching and will be out for a while. Aaron has a year's experience as catcher a~d knows how to call the pitches,". say~ Foster. • Rehef pitcher John Olson is back in the Titan blue and white this season. He should be one of the Titans' strong pitchers to close the door and • ~~ f';:f"" save the win. The Titans lost most of their starting pitchers from last year including their top pitcher Gary Fonnesbeck, who won eight games for Lane. Foster virtually had to rebuild the pitching staff from scratch. • Foster picked up a veteran starting pitcher in Bill Townsend, a sophomore transfer from Umpqua CC in Roseburg, who prepped at Churchill High in Eugene. • Another transfer from Umpqua is sophomore Ed Howarth, who has become the team's starting sec~nd baseman, and can play first ~nd sho~stop, also. Howarth is returning to Eugene where he prepped at South Eugene High. "He's a strong addition to our infield,'' comments Foster. • The team's top freshman recruit is outfielder Andy Johnson who has shown some hitting power in the early season. He' s currently hitting .439, and is a good defensive ball player.

Men S Track team better than ever The Titans' Men's Track and Field team, defending Region IV Champs and NWAACC Runnerups, face the 1986 season without many of the key members from last year who won six conference titles in 1985. This year's crop of newcomer's, though, should be just as strong. Despite the loss of manpower, Men's Track Coach Harland Yriarte contends, "We think we have the men to better the (1985) team's achievements." New Members fill up the gaps. He points toward a host of sophomores, transfers, and new recruits to back up his claim. Brazilian Olympian and world cupper Jose Barbosa was ranked number 10 in the world by Track and Field News in 1985. The quick half miler will certainly turn heads in NWAACC track circles in 1986. "Anything I could say about Jose and his contributions to the Lane program would be an understatement," says Yriarte. "We are obviously pleased he chose Lane to further his education." Jose will continue to be coached by Louiz DeOlivera, the Brazilian mentor who also trains Joachim Cruz and Mary Slaney, among others. In addition to Barbosa, the longer sprinters appear to be loaded in the Titan camp. Freshman Bob Haggard from Richland, Wash., has already run a 1:53.5 for the 1500 meters in his first meet, while freshmen teammates Jim Howarth from Rogue River (1:56.02), Carl Richardson from Hammond, Ind. (1:54.0), and sophomore Dennis Garboden (1:55.3) complete a very good cast of Titan speed. Sophomore transfer Eric Nelson of Mapleton brings 228' 10" credentials in the javelin. Sophomore Brad Gerard, who. prepped at Springfield High, lends a personal record (PR) of 202' 5'' with the javelin. Sophomore Jim Cheadle, who prepped at Grant Union High in Portland, heads the short hurdle event, while Laurence Austin (Duran, Okla.) and frosh Rick Johnson from West Linn could make this a tough event for Lane. Sophomore boxing enthusiast Don Beecraft of Rifle, Colo. promises to punch out opponents if they're too close on the last lap. The team's best fighter, bone crusher Beecraft promises no mercy in the three mile event with a PR of 15:26.3. Thirty-two year old Hugh Henry heads the shot and discus field with a shot put throw of 56-feet-even, set while at Hood River 14 years ago. Henry may need some rust remover in order to shine on league award stands. "He will definitely progress as the • season goes on," says Yriate. The Titans will be shooting for winning the Oregon Comunity College Championships for the fifth time in the last six years. In the old Region 18 Conference they won two of three conference championships prior to joining the NWAACC in 1984, where they finished third. The 1985 Titans, despite 20 personal bests, finished second to Spokane in the Conference. SRokane appears to be the favorite on paper among NWAACC schools, but with a solia team effort the Titans might have something to say about the capture of a Sasquatch (Spokane's mascot). "We've sighted them the last couple years," says Yriarte. "But 1986 could be the year we finally get one in captivity." Unbeatable.

Mass Comm purch ases new editin g syste m by Brian Nash Beat Reporter The Mass Communica tion Department recently received a State Vocational Grant with which to purchase a $44,000 computer-co ntrolled video tape editing system, which edits video tape electronically. According to video and film instructor Bob Prokop, LCC will be the only school in the Northwest to have such a system, and possibly one of only two in the United States. According to Prokop, a special course in computer editing will be offered Fall Term of 1986. Although the system will arrive this term, it will take at least until Fall Term for the college to install the equipment and for instructors to learn to use it. ''We felt that we neectea editing equipmen t that would give the students experience that would be compatable with some of the situations they' re going to be getting into when they go out into the job market,'' says Prokop.

Sunshine gladdens our . grey matter Dear Annabanana, Why do people seem happier in the spring than they do in the winter? Signed, Happier Thanalark Dear Hap, Well, it's partly the sunshine. The sun is up when the alarm clock goes off, and it tends to make us feel less like we're getting up in the middle of the night to do whatever it is we have to do through the day. Early morning daylight is beautiful. But more than that, it means Oregonians can see what the weather will be when they wake up and look outside. It makes a difference in which clothes we chose to wear, and we're definitely happier when we're wearing the right clothes! This time of year, the sun is still up in the afternoon Aslilane Apartfuents . . "' . ..

Those of us who work day shifts somehow feel entitled to a little daylight when our work is done; it makes us feel better to know the sun has to put in more hours than we have! And the sun really does begin to put in a little more overtime in the spring, and we start to see the fruits of its labor about this time of year. (Well, maybe ·not the fruits, but we get the flowers.) And we get assorted shades of new greenery. And we naturally get a little happier for the ne)'V scenery. Another i,nteresting point is that the sunshine actually works as a mood elevator, taking most of us up to the top, floor ~f our emotional structuresi· When sunlight passes through the eye, it causes a chemical reaction on the retina which infiltrates our brain's grey matter. It tells us that grey doesn't really matter any more; we see things differently; we look at other people differently (particularly people of the opposite sex); c:1nd we're inherently happier. There is, of course, one very simple explanation for why people look so much happier this time of year -they aren't used to the sunshine. They haven't dug out their sunglasses yet, so they' re squinting a lot. And squints can sometimes be mistaken for gleeful smiles. t The TORCH April 4, 1986 Page 11 t,i ■~111.■lll~- _ ,_,_ ,_· ,c,,~,,:c ~ EPAC, frompage2----- Volunteers are needed to work on this project.
