Who "The High and the Mighty" is the title of a lecture to be given by Joe Uris, Sun- day at 2:30 a.m., in CC-117 at Clackamas Community College. "The presentation will deal with the effects of narcotics on United States Forces in Vietnam," Uris said. "There are a num ber of elements that go into shaping Ameri can culture that most people are unaware of. Things that seem insignificant now may have long-range national ramifications."

What Student Publications Advisor Randy Clark announced Tuesday that the single-copy price of the Cougar Print will double this term. "We've held the price down as long as we can," Clark said. "Last term the paper was free, but with recent increases in the wholesale prices of ink and paper we've had to make adjustments to pass that increase on to our readers." Clark hopes the increase will be tem porary. "If doubling the price doesn't get the job done we may have to triple," she said. "I am confident that by next semester we will be able to cut the single-copy price by one-half to one-third." Cougar Print Editor Jim Rogers was un- able to comment due to a recent throat in jury.

One group feels that a "no-smoking" policy infringes on a smoker's civil liberty; the other group feels that a non-smoker's civil liberty is violated by having to breathe tobacco fumes. Until now it has been like the weather; everyone talks about it but nobody does anything. That may be changing. Concerned students from both groups have banded together to discuss and seek solutions to the problem. This Friday the League to Save Mankind From Tobacco (LSMFT) will hold its first meeting. First problem on the agenda for discus sion: How to change the name of the league to get rid of the initials.
