Drug testing halted temporarily

Board votes on issues
affecting students
by Karen Irmsher

TORCH Editor

Students will pay $2 more per credit hour starting Summer
Term.
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

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."

Tuition hikes aren't new to
LCC students. 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

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,

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.

are not, why not pledge a
dollar, or 50 cents in Kathy's
name. You might just be

Dear Editor:

I would like to update your
readers on the various activities of EPAC-II, the Evening Program Advisory Comnuttee.
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.
EPAC recently formed the

to explore ways of
establishing an evening

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.

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.''

"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).

For the OCCC, a map of

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.

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

Proudfit adds flair to old phrase

Tektronix gives LCC a boost
by Michael Spilman

TORCH Staff Writer

Tektronix, Inc. of Beaverton, is selling LCC $5,655
worth of high-tech equipment and has donated the
equivalent of $20,500 of
video production devices.
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.)
Douda says the wage-andbenefits package will cost the
college about $510,000 •during the second year.

Housing industry in an upswing

by Del Mar M. Geary

TORCH Staff Writer

The housing industry does
have a future in Eugene ..
. "but not at the levels reached six years ago when the industry reached it's peak,''
says Peter Watt, instructor of
LCC 's
Construction
§ Technology class.
E '' One area that is stable is
~ the remodeling and renova:; tion business," Watt adds.
·g Molly Cheshire, former ofG fice manager of the Building
>-- Permits Division of the
~ Department of Public Works,
] also expressed optimism for
o.. the industry. "I can see only

improvement in the future,''
she says, noting that recently
the department has been
"very busy" issuing permits.
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. Dwelling units include single family, duplex,
multi-family, mobile home

biggest category, were issued
for additions and alterations.
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.
''The price of construction
materials is lower here than
in other parts of the country
and that makes the prices of
the houses cheaper too,"
Parker adds.

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. He

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."

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

would give the students experience that would be compatable with some of the
situations they' re going to be
getting into when they go

That's Army math. It means that after 2 years of
college (60 semester hours or equivalent) and a 2-year
enlistment, you could have up to $21,000 to continue
your education. Courtesy of the New GI Bill+ New
Army College Fund. (EffectiveJu)yl, 1985).
That other 2 means you can get two years of
ROTC credit by enrolJing in ROTC at the third year
level (with the approval of the college's Professor of
Military Science) when you reenter colJege. You'll earn
$100 a month in ROTC.
Qualify, and you'll start your enlistment with a
promotion. And just because you're out of school
doesn't mean you stop learning. We'll teach you a skill
that can help you go places later.
And you'll go places now, because we give soldiers
an opportunity to travel. And a chance to make new
friends.
Not to mention a lot of money for college. Plus the
chance to become an Army officer. Contact your local

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

when we're ready to start
playing. 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.
