Upw ard Bou nd
Gad dis say s pro gre ss slow
By HUGH DA VIS

Walls within walls? Dr. Thomas Gaddis,
guest speaker at LCC's second convocation, spoke yesterday about the barriers
of life inside pri son walls. Gaddis is the
director of the Upward Bound Prison Project.
Gaddis, working with the Office of Economic Opportunity initiated the prison edu-

cation project after finding that a greater
portion of disadvantaged persons, for which
Upward Bound is intended are in prison.
Dr. Gaddis spoke at length on the difference of cultures within the prison confines that alienate chances of rehabilitation for the prisoners. The prison staff is
instructed to maintain custody but not to

allow prisoners to take advantage of them.
The prisoners, by the same token, will
not extend themselves for their own benefit. The inmates lose identity, liberty,
and mobility when imprisoned, becoming
what Gaddis termed "an automation."
What Upward Bound seeks to do is reinstill the inmate's ability to make deci-

sions, make mental activity and broaden
their chances to succeed in society when
released. "In a total social system," Gaddis said, "the cultures between staff and
inmates are too different for either to
progress toward the ultimate goal~" That
goal is the return of the inmate to society
as a useful citizen 'with a purpose.

Progress toward this goal is slow, even
negligible because of the embryo stages of
Upward Bound. At present the project
serves several men ranging in age from
17 to 44. Gaddis said there is one inmate
at the Oregon State Prison who is on a par
with a first year college math instructor.
The program, designed to educate in-

mates in prison, provides for released
inmates by paying tuition, board and room
on a regular campus if they show promise
of attaining an education.
Gaddfs believes that if conditions are
improved concerning staff-inmate relationships, the Upward Bound Project will
become an integral part of prison life.

Q. WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THE OPERATION "OF THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT'S
CABINET?

We couriers hatJ. been busy delivering
many items to members of the staff. For
instance, live frogs for the Science Department and piglets for the Biology Department. This also includes other items such
as: overhead projectors and films for the
library; science eQ'1ipment; books Jar the
bookstore, and dumbells 'that weigh more
,than we do) for the .P.E. Department.
• These deliveries sometimes involved carrying boxes of books up three flights of
stairs in 90-100 degree weather.
We could not have completed our job as
well without the help of others. Our thanks
to those people trying so hard to give a
better mail delivery system to our cam.pus. A special thanks to the building secretaries who quickly sort, wrap, and tag the
mail for delivery. Because of such fine
help and cooperation we can say, "come

I have been mulling about this· for a
long time, that is, to try to build up enough
courage and confidence to pursue a higher
education in spite of my age. It see.med to
me for a long time that there we.r e _too
many obstructions in my path. There was
my age, my foreign educational background, and, of course, my financial resnonsibility to my family: Also, there was
a constant nagging feeling of failure at

thoughts that had been bothering me all along.
•
The cou~eJing and guidance I had on
that day was just wonderful.· Everything
started looking bright and hopeful after a
few minutes of conversation with the counselor, and the nervousness and anxiety
I brought with me just disappeared. The
counselor was a very pleasant la~y .and.
judging from her speech, I saw : she was
a person of high intelligence.

It is my belief that students at LCC are
unfriendly. When '1 walk down the hall, no
one even smiles at me except for some of
the kids in my classes.
Nobody speaks to me; they don't even
bother to pass the time of day.
I am an average American male and the
other day I asked a girl in my Psychology
class what her name was. She replied it
was none of my business.
Once when passing a fellow student in the
hall, I nodded and half-way smiled at him.
He stiffened up and said, "You don't know
me."
So what if I don't. Is everyone going to
snub me when I make a friendly gesture?
Put a little more happiness in your life
as well as the lives of others. Why not
make a new friend today?

To the Editor:

On behalf of the annual staff, I would
like to thank all students and staff members who had their pictures taken last
week. Your support for our venture is
is greatly appreciated.
Approximately 650 persons had pictures
taken, resulting in a lower number than
least year. Means to alleviate this have
not been devised, and having the photographer return would be hardly profitable,
either from his point of view nor from
ours. However, those who missed him
and wish to have their pictures in the 1968
Titan should contact Mr. Ziel's studio and
make arrangements through him. The pic. tures would still be free of charge and
should be taken before Jan. I.
Though the poor turnout is very dis·Couraging to both me as an editor and to•
. the staff, it does present its good side.

of catalog in the library, a great deal of
attention is directed to the card catalog
which is nothing more than a cabinet of
drawers which have cards in them. The
cards represent books and are used to give
a library patron (those of you who use the
library are its patrons) information about
a book including that necessary to find it.
There are three card catalogs at Lane
Community College--one on each of the
campuses. However, if you happen to use
the libraries at Bethel or Eugene more
than the one at Springfield, it might be
kept in mind that the card catalogs at
Bethel and Eugene contain cards which represent the books only in those branches of
the library. Because you can't find it there
does not mean that we do not have it as the
master card catalog is in the Springfield
library. This catalog is the one in which
there are cards for all the books in all
three LCC libraries. Those of you who use
the Springfield library might remember
that the book you found in the card catalog
but not in the stacks might be at Bethel
or Eugene.
How do you find out where a book is located? It's easy! Just ask! .

This week I have some news wliich will
be important to, and probably affect every
student at Lane CommunitiY' College.
For the past six weeks the Student Senate in conjunction with the Student Activities Committee have been working on an
Activities Policy for the college. This policy is now complete and has been adopted
by the Senate and the Activities Committee.
What is this policy? Why is it important?
Until now there have been no guide lines
for the College Board to follow in making
their decisions on any student function.
One area that is a real sore spot is inter•
collegiate sports.
This policy supplies those guide lines
and if adopted by the Board it would be
possible to budget for an intercollegiate
athletic program for next year.

Unfortunately funds are very 11m1
for a program this year, however th:
student Senate will ~upport any extra,mural competition according to Student
demand and within their financial capabilities.
This policy will be presented to the
Board at their Nov. 15 meeting at 7:30
p.m.
This presentation will be made by members of the Student Senate. I urge all
members of the Student Body to attend
and support us, and help get this badly
needed policy a part of the college.
Anyone who would like more information concerning the College can contact
~e on Thursday morning ~f-" Jhe Eugene·
campus between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

It was about 8:30 in the morning. The
wind was blowing through the trees hard
enough to drown out all other. sounds.
It was cold enough to freeze a thin sheet
of ice on still water. There was just
enough light to make out images on the
horizon, but not enough light to shoot.
We were camped about thirty miles north
of Prineville, Oregon. It was October first,
the opening day of deer season. I was sitting alone on an old abandoned skid trail,
behind a stump. I had spotted, about seventy-five yards away, a small group of
deer, not more than six or seven. It was
too dark for me to see which were bucks
and which were does .. All I could do was
sit and wait and hope they wouldn't run•
off before it got light.
I laid my rifle on top of a stump; aiming
it in the direction of the deer. - My red
hat and shirt were getting soaked from the
mist. • My legs were getting uncomfortable,
so I changed my position. I took off my

army belt' that carried my knife, rope,
extra ammunition and canteen. My mouth
was getting dry from the nervous feeling,
so I took a drink of water.
Now it was light enough to shoot. I could
tell by looking through my binoculars that
there were fives does and one big fourpoint buck. My heart was pounding furiously as the deer began to mill around in
front of me. The big . buck stayed behind

Now this.figure may be decreased by about
10 pages, thus leaving room for additional
coverage of the school and its activities.
Especially to the instructors on the Eugene campus, who dismissed classes a few minutes early for the sole purpose of annual pictures, I would like to say "thanks."
As close as may be determined, the occupational people outnumber the college
transfer pictures 2 to 1. The college transfer program includes approximately 1800
students with only about 170 _having pictures taken, while the occupational department numbers little more than 1,000 with
alproximately 350 having pictures.
Again, I would like to say thanks for
the support shown by students and staff

South Euge_ne edges Sp-r inglield, 26-21
By GENE COGBURN

All the favored teams drove for victories in last Saturday's round of intramural football games at Willamalane Park,
but not without a couple of anxious moments along the way. In the set of three
games, only league leading undefeated
.North Eugene had an easy time of it as the
. Northmen trounced the Bethel district 44..

6.
In the other games, however, second
place South Eugene barely eeked out a victory over Springfield 26-21, and Thurston
gave Sheldon fits for one half before the
Irish adjusted and came out with a 20-12
winner.
With just one round of games left, a
replay of disputed games appears a possibility, but discounting this, it appears
that the intramural title goes on the line
this Saturday when North Eugene battles
South Eugene. North leads the league with
a perfect 4-0 record over South's 3-1
record.
While North and South battle for the top
spot, Sheldon will try to move into a play
off spot with a win against Bethel. In the
other game Thurston and Springfield will
battle for the cellar position in the league.

Bethel then came 'back to score and
avert its second straight shut-out of the
season. Springfield blanked Bethel last
week. Bethel went the length of the field
on a nine play drive that produced a Joey
Baels to Chris Gardner touchdown pass.
North came back to add two more TD's
to their total as Etchison ran 38 yards for
one, and wrapped up the scoring with a 45
yard TD pass to Don Richardson.

Springfield has made a habit of losing
football games in the final minutes and
they did it again this past week as second
place South Eugene edged the Millers in
the final moments, 26-21. It was truely a
see-saw battle that saw the lead change
hands three times before the final outcome
was determined.

With more than half of the first period
gone scoreless, South Eugene finally got on
the scoreboard to lead the game 6-0. South
QB Tim Corcoran passed to halfback Leo
Tsou for the counter.
Springfield came right back with a touchdown of their own to gain the lead. Subquarterback Gene Cogburn came in to give
starter Hugh Davis a J:lreather and directed
to go-ahead drive.
by a 15 yard TD pass from Cogburn to Don
Gross for the tiemaker. The Millers then
went ahead as Cogburn threw to center
Reb Bonney for the PAT.
South was able to go into the half with
the lead, however, as Tsou got behind the
Springfield defenders and took a Corcoran
pass in the endzone for the 12-7 half time
count.
South received the second half kickoff
and moved to a 19-7 lead. Corcoran, play·ing in place of r~gular Joel R.obertson,
gave South the 12 ~oint lead as he found
Bob Hanesai<?__ng fhe-end zone.

In the second half, Springfield offense
consisted almost entirely of two outstanding pass plays, but they were enough to
put the Millers ahead of the Axemen for
the second time. The first came ater
South's third TD as QB Davis tossed a
60 ya.rd "alley oop" type pass to _Rick
Foster; who made the catch while falling_
on his back into the end zone .. The Millers
·added the PAT to bring the count to 19-14.
When a oenaltv stopped Soutb, Springfield·
came back again with a Davis ualley oop"
pass. This one went 55 yards to Don Gross
who struggled the ball away from the
South defender as he fell at the three yard
line. Davis then carried the ball for the go
ahead score, 21-19. This set the stage for
South's final TD drive. Springfield just
couldn't hang long enough, as Corcoran
passep on a fourth down play to Tim Rayley for the winning score. Springfield had
one more chance with the ball, but four
incomplete passes spelled the end for the
Millers.

Thurston in the game with two option TD
runs around the right side for 26 and 15

Bouncing back from its toughest game
of the year last week against Sheldon, the
Northmen had little trouble with the Bethel
district team, overwhelming them 44-6 in
intramural football action Saturday morning at Willamalane Park, Springfield.
Held to two touchdowns last week, the
Highlanders erupted for seven six-point- ·
ers against the Bethel team. Six of the
TD's came from the passing route, as
QB Jeff Etchison tossed for five and ran
for another. The only thing North hadproblems with was converting their PAT's.
North failed on all but two of their seven
attempts.
North started out the game with a bang,
and kept on pulling the trigger, to shoot
down any thoughts of a Bethel upset. On
the sixth play of the game North had its
first six points of the game as center Dan
Buch caught his first of three touchdown
passes from Etchison.
North came right back to score on a
halfback pass from Mike Pendleton to Don
Richardson. North stopped Bethel on downs
and Etchison then found Buch in the endzone for the second time to give North
a 18-0 lead at the break.
The Highlanders wrapped up the game on
its first two series of downs in the second
half I as both went the distance to the goal.
The first drive was capped by the Etchison
to Buch rassing combo. The second ended
with an Etchison to Rich Morrissee TD
pass.

defenders were left covering his pass receivers. It was a Myers PAT that gave
Sheldon the halftime lead.
In the second half, Sheldon's defense

resulted in the shutting out of the Colta.
Schmunk, with his running contained by
the Sheldon defensive line went to the aid
to come close to the Irish goal once more,
making three first downs. But the Colts
were unable to penetrate the Irish endzone.
Sheldon's offense, on the other hand,
found a great deal of success in the final
half against the Thurston defense. The
Irish had a pair of TD' s called back before Myers found Rod Myrick for a counter and the winning score of 20-12.

At one time or another, I'm sure that
most of the students attending college
have felt a throb in their stomach, a constant headache from reading, or, generally, speaking, very tied up inside.
This is the moment that sports, athletics, physical fitness, exercises--whatever you want to call it can be of the most
benefit to the student.
Participation in athletics gives the student the opportunity to get out of the pas sive world of book learning and into the
world of activity.
Constantly doing the same thing such as
reading, sitting in classrooms, or working on an assembly line for eight hours a
day is very hard on anyone's mental capacities and consequently on one's physical
fitness. Both mental and physical fitness
depend so much on each other that at
times it is difficult to separate the two.
Participation in athletics will help to
build strength, character, and courage
which we all need to get through the daily
tasks that face us day in and day out.
athletics will help,
Participation in
almost beyond compare, to build endurance
which we need to read for long periods of
time. It will also help to develop strength
that help one through a tedious schedule in
the classroom.
Physical fitness helps to give a person
the well-rounded mental and physical ad-

,

key word

.justment that he will need throughout life.
Through participation in athletics a student
at Lane Community College could develop
these skills and abilities.
To quote Ray Ellingson, professor of
physics at the University of Oregon, in
an article written by Jerry Uhrhammer of
the Eugene Register-Guard, March 6, 1966"I must confess that I am puzzled by how
well many of our athletes do in business
and in the profession. I believe it just may
be that there is something about the discipline of training, the learning to start
at the bottom of an organization and working your way up, the learning of what a team
effort can contribute in contrast to a collection of individual efforts that prepare
an individual for life in our complex society." Need there be any more said?

No athle tic corn-ersto ne for LCC
By JAMES TIFFANY

Athletics will not be one of the factors
from which Lane Community College will
achieve further growth or future acclaim.
I am not saying that LCC will not have an
athletic program in the future; it probably
will, but it will not be such that the college
will receive any great revenue because of
it. If an athletic program will exist in the
future, it will undoubtedly be on a small
scale, certainly not on a scale with the
junior colleges in California who depend, to
a certain degree, on athletics for a portion
of their revenue.
As I look around me on the various LCC
campuses, I see students who seem to care
little about anything associated with the
school, other than better parking, acceptable grades, and wishing (with a passion)
that this were next fall so they would not
have to spend a small fortune commuting
between classes. I have yet to find a student who has mentioned athletics of any
kind, let alone discuss the possibility of
an athletic program at LCC.
I really feel the majority of the students
could care less about an athletic program.
They do not have the time for it. The college appears to be comprised of a great
number of married students (who undoubtedly have families), a generous sprinkling
of those who have full or part-time jobs
combined with their schooling, and the rest
are kids who are just out of high school
