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."
Uris, who is preparing his doctoral dis
sertation on "The Long Term Effects of
Halloween Trick or Treating on Contem
porary American Morality and Social Val
ues," believes that "most Americans don't
pay enough attention to their own role in
shaping society.
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.
Why
There has been a great deal of talk about
cigarette smoking in the Clackamas Com
munity College cafeteria. Groups for and
against have generally fallen into one of
two camps.
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
