Sample, president of the college, as well as a new de- partment chairman has been named. In addition, two memb- ers of the administrative staff have been named to new pos- itions, two members of the faculty were granted tenure, and two received approval for sabbatical leaves. Faculty recewing promotions "include Dr. James N. Spencer, from associate professor to pro- lessor of chemistry; Dr. Rob- ert C. Lau, from assistant pro- fessor to associate professor of music; Dr. John D. Norton, from assistant professor to associate professor of political science; Dr. James W. Scott, from assistant professor to associate professor of German; and Mr. Francis P. Satalin, from instructor to assistant pro- fessor of physical education. Having received the B.S. de- gree from Marshall University in 1963, Dr. Spencer was em- ployed at the International Ill illl I A regular feature, prepared by the American Cancer Society, to help save your life from cancer. Am I right?" ANSWERIine: No. Breast cancer does occur in men even though it is extremely rare. Of the estimated 90,000 new cases of breast cancer in this country in 1978 only 700 will occur in men. This means that while it is unlikely the lump that you have discovered could signal the presenceof cancer, it is important for you to 13ave it examined by a physi- cian as soon as possible. Surveys have shown that be- cause men are unaware of the possibility of breast cancer in themselves, they are apt to delay medical attention. The earlier the disease is diag- nosed and treated, the better the chance of cure for both men and women. A law student asks: "Can you give me examples of what occupations may in- fluence whether or not one gets cancer?" ANSWERline: Occupational hazards associated with can- cer are a source of concern and study. Rubber and ani- line dye workers, for example are known to develop more bladder cancers than other workers. Woodworkers and nickel miners develop more sinus cancer. Uranium, asbes- tos workers and reefers have more lung cancer and vinyl chloride workers, more liver cancer. People who work with X-rays also have a risk. As these various occupational problems are identified, safe- guards are essential to alert and protect workers. An engineer asks: "Is it true that after surgery for cancer of the larynx, patients are un- able to speak and have to use electronic devices to com- municate?" ANSWI= FIHns: Fortunately the answer to that question is no. After laryngectomy, an operation in which the larynx or voice box ]s removed, ap- proximately 65 per cent of patients eventually learn a new method of speaking. Called esophageal speech, this method forces the walls of the esophagus and pharynx to vibrate which creates a low- pitched rome. Another 15 per cent of patients are able to use a combination of eso- phageal speech and an elec- tronic device. Only 15 per cent of laryngctomees are totally dependent on artificial devices and for 5 per cent, no infornmtion is available. The International Association of Laryngectomees is an organi- zation sponsored by the American Cancer Society made up of some 260 new voice clubs. Through their members, the laryngectomee is given encouragement and help in perfecting his or her ability to speak. A highway worker explains: "1 have a small lump in the nipple area of my chest.

In 1967 he was granted the Ph. D. deg- ree in physical chemistry by the Iowa State University and join- ed the LVC faculty. While at Iowa State he held a research and teaching assistantship. He is a native of Meadows Brid- ge, WV, and resides in Lan- caster. He currently serves as chairman of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Section of the American Chemical Society for 1979. COALITION POLITICS AND THE 1980'S through :cbm...bined operatins. such divdrsi0ns to rail will provide s[gni'ficant public bene- fits by lessening highway det- erioration and reducing trans- pert costs for this coal. C&O's Raceland Car Shop will be utilized to build coal hopper cars for L&N by using present- ly existing excess capacity. During the first three years following consummation of the proposed transaction, 7,000 carS will be constructed at Race:, land for L&N at a savings ol more than $60 million comp ared to the cost ff purchased from outside car builder.

There were approximately 175 class members registered from all walks of life, with some traveling from the state of California. Several states were represented with approximate- ly 350 in attendance. Each class member who registered received a booklet with class listings and history of the sch- ool. The camp was decorated with old high school banners, cheer- leader letters, basketball jer- sey and mementos of school days at Forest Hill• The tables were decorated in the blue and gold motif. A painting by Doug Rogers of the school mascot ( Bulldog) was hung behind the speakers table, which was laid with old year books, pictures and etc. of Forest Hill Scho- ol. A bountiful picnic style lunch was served at 12:30 in the camp dining room. Mr. Jimmie Hutchison of For- est Hill served as Master of Ceremonies. A moment of sil- ence for the deceased was observed at 1:30. Each class was recognized by their grad- uating year. The remainder of the afternoon was spent remin- iscing and picture taking. Forest Hill High School beg- an in 1929 and was closed as a high school in 1967 with app- roximately 500 students grad- uating. P. o,   -, ,,-."'-a'\\;'o-Y ' 7)"  r  "1 The aerae adult can read 300 words a minute. By Paul M. Weyrich • 'Party identification alone cannot explain what is hap- pening in American politics today because voters now cannot trust party labels to evaluate a candidate's worth." With those words, pollster V. Lance Terrance of Houston summed up perhaps the most interesting development to occur in the political process in recent times. Neither political party stands for nmch of anything in the public mind anymore. Democrats range from Larry McDonald on theright to Ron Dellums on the left while the Republican spectrum includes Jesse Helms as well as Jacob Javits. To clarify what the candidates of both parties stand for, now that the parties don't tell the voters much, special groups have begun to identify certain issues which have an appeal to a segment of the electorate. Candidates position themselves on these ssues and thus become "good guys" or "bad guys" n the eyes of these specml groups and their memberslips, which often run into several thousand voters in a given Congressional district. The right to life issue may be really important to only 5% of the voters in a given district. The right to work issue may turn on only 8% and the gun issue just 3%. Taken together, however, these three issues can get a candidate 16% of the vote (most often far greater than the margin in a contested race) regardless of his political party. This effort is called coalition politics. It works with liberals as well as conserva- tive candidates. It was Coalition Politics which was at work in Minnesota where the Right to Lifers, combined with the anti-tax groups, combined with groups which disliked the environmentalists, managed after tumultous primaries, to turn the state of Hubert Humphrey and his Democratic-Farmer-Labor party upside down. Coalitions were also involved in the upset wins of Roger Jepsen in Iowa and Gordon Humphrey in New Hampshire where these two conservative Republicans ousted liberal Democrats-- and in Washington, where a coalition, with labor unions at the center, and Blacks and Gays and environ- mentalists at the outer edges, ended the short career of Rep. Jack Cunningham. In all of these cases, special groups were decisive in the election outcomes. Since the elections, Coalition Politics has taken still another turn, a further indication of the decline of the parties. In New Hampshire, State Senator Bob Monier was elected Senate President by a coalition of eight Conservative Republicans and four Conservative Democrats. In New Me,ice, Conservative Democrat Gene Sambcrson was elected Speaker of the House by a coalition of 26 Conserva- tive Republicans and I I Conservative Democrats. The situa- tion is interesting, because the legislators who formed the majority Caucuses in New Hampshire and New Mexico have retained their party labels and will likely run for re-election without changing parties. This is the logical step for c'andidatcs who are elected by issue coalitions and whose first loyalty is to their own philosophyand not to their party label. If the idea of putting the Conservatives (or Liberals for that matter) of both parties into a formal coalition catches on elsewhere in the states, there will likely be a similar move in the Congress. Previous attempts to unite the Conservatives have centered around Southern Democrats switching parties. Now there may be a way for Members of Congress to retain their party label while at thc same time becoming a part of an effective and ruling majority.
