Cadets tour Texas base
While most University students were heading home for the Christ
mas holidays, eight Air Force ROTC Cadets were southbound for San
Antonio, Tex., to join other AFROTC cadets from seven Northwest
schools for a five-day visit.
Cadets were provided with an opportunity to see part of the Air
Force in action as they toured Lackland Air Force Base (AFB) and
Randolph AFB. While at Lackland, the cadets toured the Defense
Language School, which teaches English to people from more than 36
foreign nations.
At Randolph AFB, the group received briefings on Air Force man
ning and the promotion system. All seniors met with their career coun
selors at the Military Personnel Center.
The cadets also had one day to explore San Antonio and tour sights
such as the Alamo and the Tower of the Americas.
Transportation to Texas was provided by the Air Force, and each
cadet paid his own traveling costs.
Art entries due Friday
Lane County artists and craftspeople are reminded that this is the
last week they may submit completed art work or proposals for art work

appropriateness of the art work related to placement location, quality of
design and craftsmanship, durability of materials and clarity of propos
als.
The committee will recommend work to be placed in 11 possible
locations within the building. The price of the work, method of mounting
and a one page biographical resume of the artist are to be submitted
with the art work or the proposals.
Lane County Commissioners will make the final selection of art
work to be purchased by the county. All entries must be submitted no

Firms can help drinkers
How employee assistance programs can help employees with
drinking problems will be the topic of the next Community Alcohol
Education Program tonight at 7:30 at the Central Presbyterian Church,
1475 Ferry St.
Ric Brown of Weyerhaeuser Personnel Department will be the
speaker, and the film “Case 7201” will be shown. The free program is
designed for the general public and coordinated by Lane County Coun
cil on Alcoholism as part of its weekly series.
A successful program of help for employees, according to Brown,
requires cooperative effort of the business and its employees, often
represented by their labor unions. He says help is offered to those
asking for it on a voluntary basis, and may be required of those whose
job performance reveals a problem.

Project seeking smokers
Interested in kicking the habit? The Oregon Smoking Control Pro
ject will now accept people, especially those who smoke cigarette
brands with high levels of tar and nicotine, like Marlboro or Salem.
The stop smoking program consists of six weekly small group
meetings. A nicotine fading technique will be used whereby smokers
gradually reduce their tar and nicotine intake over the six weeks.
Craig Beaver, with the Smoking Project, says smokers using the
technique “have enjoyed over a 50 per cent abstinence rate at long
term followup in previous smoking control studies."
In the past, adversive smoking techniques have been used in the
program; however, they have been discontinued. Other components
besides the nicotine fading may be added to the program, according to
individual need.
The program charge is $5 for six sessions, with a $25 refundable
deposit. Those interested should call the smoking clinic at 686-4964
between 3 and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Beaver suggests calling
soon, as a limited number of people can be accepted at this time.
