ONwM , , . • _ARril 11, 1968 MEMOR IAL By ANDY GIANOP OULOS HELD Wa rfie ld sha res King's dre am President Dale Parnell's "short and simple" memorial to Martin Luther King and his work turned into an hour long attack on racial discrimination by John Warfield, Director of the Upward Bound program at the U of O. Warfield, speaking before approximately 200 faculty members in t • Bethel gym yesterday, said he had the same dream as Martin Luther King, that there is a place for the black man in America. "If you scratch the most militant black you will find that he has the same dream too." America's legacy of racism is what struck King down, and that it is showing itself again in the slow reaction by the authorities in trying to apprehend King's assassin. "Racism is not in the act but in the mind, if you want to reach the white man, you must work on his conscience,".said Warfield. The possibility of any further non-violent activity by Negroes is discounted by Warfield. "It is all over--the game is up-they know our bag." The militants have al-' ways known this said Warfield. "Black America was only waiting for the body to be put in the ground.,, Jobs are no longer .a factor to poor minorities said Warfield. "They want a legitimate slice of the action." They might have made a difference 20 years ago but now it is too late. "I don't own the store; I don't have the stock broker; and I don't have a say at city hall." These are the areas that Warfield feels the Negroes should be making _themselves heard in. Warfield also attacked the Oregon school system and its policies of having quotas for disprivileged students and demanding that they meet certain standards set by the middle class society. He feels "everyone has strengths no IJl__!tler what th~~! orip:in,'~ and that it is these strengths that should be exploited by the schools rather than trying to fit the students into certain alien norms. Above all Warfield feels that action should be taken now and that it should be initiated by the people in the power base. President Parnell said a racial relations committee has been brought into existance at LCC. Its purpose is twofold: *Explore the Kerner report and how it relates to LCC. *Re-examine policies at LCC and study methods of improvement. Parnell said this committee composed of both students and faculty will be a "continuing thing." 29 stu den ts ear n stra igh t-A 's Eleven more students made the Presi ... dent's List Winter Term than made it Fall Term.

JOHN: -WARFIELD Baha i's meet next Thursday • The LCC Baha'i Club will hold their second in a series of public meeting on contemporary topics next week. The newly formed group will sponsor a talk by a foreign student from the University of Oregon who is a Zoroastrian. The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 17, in Room 23 on the Eugene campus. This will be the regular weekly time and place for the discussion groups. Refreshments will be served during the question-answer period that will follow the talk. Zoroaster was a Prophet of Ancient Iran who brought eternal truths which contain a message addressed to all mankind of every age and every clime. The supreme being of the Zorasterian religion was called Ahuro-Mazda. It is a dual name signifying "the Lord of Life (and) the Lord of Creation." The teachings also state that Mazda created both good and evil. Everyone is invited. Focus meet s twice week ly Jan ·.Wilbanks, ·university of O~egon student, • spoke at • the April 2 meeting of Focus Club about his experiences working with the "hippie" movement in the HaightAshbury district of San Francisco.

Instead, John Warfield spoke at the Bethel campus. Why, because of one man's death, must such a fuss be made? Martin Luther King wasn't even president of the United States. Of course, his ideas were good and he was trying to gain intregati on more peaceably than Stokley Carmiche al. But why cancel classes so everyone can watch the public funeral? There was a small, private funeral which only 1300 people attended. Maybe tickets should have been sold to the public funeral. Would a convocati on featuring Luther Jerstad have been cancelled for King's death? Possibly not, so why should the choir, band and folk dancers be deprived of performin g?

New voting procedures were also adopted which delegated each school five votes· which may be split in any manner instead of one vote per school and delegated the three executive officers one vote each. Rudy Sarreli of Mt. Hood Community College defeated Bob Marsh in his bid for the presidency of OCCSA._ "To you, the people I'm representating," Sarreli said, "I can only say that I'll be my best." He went on to say that he wants to "develop the followers of today into the leaders of tomorrow and to make the other sections of the Oregon Community College Association more aware of the job of the ~CA" and that he "fully intends to do that job."

Gene Cogburn Fools read it To the Editor: With regard to Hugh Davis' letter to the editor dated April 4, 1968, I would like to express the newly founded concern with which I hold the apparent erosion of his capacity for either moral discretion or mental discernment. When he stated to Gene Cogburn that "no one but a fool could have presumed that what you have written is garbage," although he equated Cogburn's article with refuse he thus by hiw own "logic" equated himself with the simpleton. I would not attempt to elaborate upon his opinion of himself but would rather prefer to leave to Davis the defining of his "character" or the lack of the same. One cannot help but ponder, however, if not the best way to keep Davis in the future from recogn ~lng the necessity for moral discretion and mental discernment would be to secrete such ideological assets under the proverbial "bar of soap."

Vilified by the press and Congress for their noisy activism, scorned by the majority of their moderate classmates more concerned with campus affairs, and lambasted from the pulpit for their flowing locks and sundry other hygenic offenses, they seem to have nowhere to go. Their views, sound as they may appear to them to be, remain largely ignored, and their protests, correspondingly, have disintegrated into displays of cynicism and emotional diatribes aimed at the Establishment. The American democratic process strikes them as more absurd with each passing day--and each mounting crisis. CHOICE 68, the National Collegiate Presidential Primary, will probably either solidify the skepticism of the campus radicals or cause them to re-evaluate their thinking as to the actual political power of the vote. If a sizeable percentage of college students do care enough to participate in the election, and, indeed, to succeed in exerting some appreciable pressure over the policymakers of the country, then the radicals may well channel their considerable energies into the drive to lower the voting age to 18. If the Primary fails, however, to stir.Jhe long silent student moderates or to influence American policy, then leftists will probably remain convinced that only forceful and, if need be, violent action will produce acceptable political ends. But of more immediate concern is whether the radicals will participate at all in CHOICE 68. The ballot, certainly, is well stocked with leftists and moderate- liberals, and the Viet Nam referendum questions should satisfy the most extreme of the radicals, The current anti-admin istration feeling among students would also seem to indicate that a leftist vote is a distinct possibility.

McCarthy, choice 68 sho w stud ent pow er One of the more amusing side effects, depending on your sense of humor, of Eugene McCarthy's impressive showing in the New Hampshire primary has been the rather adulatory reaction of the national press to . the Seantor's corps of energetic and intense ''ballot children.'' Originally written pathetic idealists, off as somewhat McCarthy's student army earned their abundant laurels by helping engineer the first stunning upset of the 1968 presidentia l campaign. As a result, the well-scrubbed, respectable, and quietly effective "Student Volunteer" suddenly became the darling of the press. Youth Back in the Fold, gushed endless editorials, Democratic Process Works! Ninilism of the New Left Refuted! Generation Gap Bridged! As the New York Times stated eloquently what other papers expressed garishly, "Senator McCarthy has . managed to persuade great numbers of concerned youth that it is possible to make effective protest against existing American policies and practices by traditional democratic means." This endless journalistic game oflumping all students into one vast and grotesquely misleading generalization thus continues. The archetypal collegian, it now appears, is no longer the student leftist with his picket sign and smouldering draft card. The "average" college student right now, today, is the "concerne d" college student-the student whose faith in democracy is ly but surely being reaffirmed through electoral triumph and lots of hard, determined work. The •idealistic gleam of such a student portrait will go far, no doubt, towards reestablishing middle class America's faith in its gold plated youth. But McCarthy's "Student Volunteers ," like the radical agitators, are but fringe elements of the college community and hardly representative of the American student body as a whole, whose reputation for indifference and apathy is not without substance. As President Adran Doran of Morehouse State College in Kentucky stated, "These activists say that the rest of the students are apathetic and don't care. They're not. They're satisfied with the way things are. Why should they protest? There's nothing to protest about.,, the National Collegiate CHOICE 68, Presidential Primary, is functioning with a somewhat more spirited preconception in mind--that , in fact, student moderates do care and do want their opinions registered, in a .responsible, effective manner. The election itself will determine whether • CHOICE 68's image of the "average" student is accurate. For in order to attain national visibility, CHOICE 68 must attract at least two million voters on April 24. Such a goal will be attained only if enough moderates choose to exert themselves to the minor degree of casting their votes. CHOICE 68 will fail if they do not. The liberal and conservative activists-may hoard the headlines, but the long silent student moderates have the numbers:..:.and it is only by the raw power of size that a skeptical public and an overly antagonistic Congress will pay attention to the reality of student power. It's one thing, of course, to boycott an election through primciple and it's quite another to miss one through ignorance or apathy. If the moderates do fail to participate, especially in this, the most challenging of election years, then they will indeed have earned the taunt of Henry' IV, "Go hang yourself, brave Crillon; we fought at Arques and you were not there." Sha ckle ford nee ds bod ies Choice 68 is a national presidentia l collegiate primary to be held here April 24. Sponsored by Ti~ Magazine, the primary will feature names of not only announced candidates but of potential candidates such as Oregon Senator Mark O. Hatfield, Illinois Governor Charles Percy, Nelson Rockefellew and others. Roger Shackelford has been appointed by ASB President Leon Lindsay to head the local election. He said he needed "bodies" to help in committees. Shackelford said the purpose of Choice 68 is to put "the voice of the college students of America" before _the American people, concerning national political issues. • • The April 24 election will be conducted in much the sam way as the student body elections were held last month.

DIAMO ND FACTS Today, many people are discoveriQg . that they can indeed own diamonds- -in many cases, an entire jewelry "wardrobe " of diamond set accessories. Regardless of the size of the diamonds you purchase, the same set of standards is used in judging diamond quality which af.. fects the price you pay. There are only four factors which establish the value of any diamond sold anywhere--the 4 C's. The factors of Color, Clarity, Cutting and by Carat Weight provide a which the worth of your diamond can be accurately measured by trained jewelers. For example, nearly alldiamonds have a yellowish body color. The degree of this color influences the price you pay. The value of the diamond decreases as the common yellow tinge appears. That is color. Clarity, second of the 4 C's, describes the presence or absence of internal blemishes which seldom mars the beauty of the diamond, but does affect price. Judging this ac curately is often done with a strong binocular microscope. Of course, the jeweler's training for this grading is of vital importance. Judging the Cutting of a diamond also requires a trained eye. This fashioning must be done to exact mathematical proportions, and, again, an instrument is used to determine the excellence of the diamond's cutting. Carat Weight merely means the size and weight of the stone. We will be happy to explain these factors to you in more detail the next time you visit us. awu- $~ 1027 n iJJam~Ue THE TORCH, April 11, 1968, Page 4 PRESIDEN T.

A. . •' There is an old Testament prophecy of the 'sins of the Fathers being visited upon the thir.d and fourth generations.' Nothing could be more applicable to our situation. America· is reaping the harvest of hate and shame planted through generations of educational denial, political dis-franchisement and economic exploition of its black population. Now, almost a century removed from slavery, we find the heritage of oppression and racism erupting in our cities, with volcanic lava of bitterness and frustration pouring down our avenues ... White America has allowed itself· to be indifferent to race prejudice and economic denial. It has treated them as superficial blemishes, but now awakes to the horrifying reality of a potentially fatal disease. The urban outbreaks are 'a fire bell in the night,' clamorously warning that the seams of our entire social order are weakening under strains of neglect." We have established an all college stuent-staff committee to study the Kerner Report and to develop means of helping all LCC students and staff to understand the seriousness of the situation. We look forward to the results of the committee's efforts.

Is it truiy a sign of our times. God help us if it is. Eddie By EUGENE • IS COGBURN Eddie Bailes is a friend of mine. Like most people, I think of my friends as special. But there is one thing about Eddie that makes him extra special. Eddie Bailes is a Negro, a very special thing in this area. Eddie, 23, is a Data Processing student at LCC, and is also the only full-time Negro employee on the LCC roster. Eddie Bailes is a janitor. The white-Negro ratio at Lane and in this area is very small, but there is much concern in administrative circles about the racial problems that exist or could arise in this area. Eddie Bailes is concerned also, and he is fighting. Eddie does not fight with his fists, however, he battles using himself as the •primary weapon. By personal definition Eddie is "anindividual." Fewwhoknow Eddie Bailes would disagree. Being "anindividual" is Eddie's way of erasing "the Color Line" --racial discrimination. He is acutely concerned about his place in society. This individualistic personal involvement is Eddie Bailes' means of establishing himself in this society. Eddie is not out to establish a Negro in society, but rather he is out to establish Eddie Bailes in today's complex society. Eddie feels that this is his, and the Negroes, only way to succeed in this racial-orientated world that we live. As a Negro at LCC, Eddie is, in his own words "one of a few." But Eddie does not reject his noticeability in the halls of Lane. In fact, it fits perfectly into Eddie's theory of himself as a "Negro Ambassador." ~ing "one of a few" Negroes at a special friend Lane, Eddie feels that his "standing out" will help establish himself, and his race. People must think of Negroes on a individual level and not on the level of a looting mob. Eddie feels that his behavior, good or bad, admirable or not is noticed because of his visual isolation. · Eddie is surprisingly well informed in all areas,and the national racial situation is no exception. Eddie is against the violence and "long hot summer" theories that govern the national civil rights scene today. Eddie is suspect of at least 50% of the Negro leaders in the U.S. He feels that Martin Luther King, at the time of his death, was losing the respect of many of the nonviolent advocates. Especially when many of his "marches" erupted into violence. It seemed as though King was back in his hotel room "as soon as the first brick was thrown." Eddie, however, tends to disregard the National problems in lieu of his own. And suprisingly, Eddie's problems are not racially based, but rather are those of a young married man; paying the rent, making car payments, doing his job. Racially Eddie has faced little or no discrimination in the Eugene-Springfield area. Eddie points to the fact that it took him only a single week to find employment after he arrived in Eugene. After he got out of the service it took him three months to find a job in his native Negro area of California. Eddie sets his goals in life much the same way that most people do, projecting as far into the future as possible. (Eddie is quick to provide advise to anyone seeking. It is valid advice.) The only difference between races is sociological and cultural. This is what makes MAN different within himself. On a local level, Eddie can not disregard the possibility of a racial strife. But the trouble, if any, will not be locally sponsored of that. In answer to the suspected riots Eddie "can't see it," and jokingly quips "I valu~ my life above all else. But with all the racial noise being in make locally, Eddie has not been personally con tacted by any racially-orientated Negro leader. Eddie Bailes is his own leader. What is it like to be a Negro? Unless you have black skin, you don't really know. To find out how Negroes at L.C.C. feel about race riots and Black Power among other things, the Reporting II students interviewed students and found the following opinions.--CR Whites cause proble m By JERRY f-OSTFR Eugene has a small Black problem. The problem is White. Color it "prejudice." "There is a Negro problem in Eugene," said Reverend James H. Jenkins, pastor of the First Methodist Church in Eugene. Jenkins, who has lived in Eugene for six months, says he thinks there is prejudice in employers and in stores. He said he has seen people "turn up their noses at Negroes on the street in Eugene." Eugene is prejudiced but is "getting better than it used to be," said O'Dell Carmicle, an LCC Drafting major. "Although," he said, "this could be better." The job situation "is terrible." You have to have "experience." They "want you to go to college." The same with whites? "Not really." People will hire a Negro, said Jenkins, "if they qualify. A white man can fall short in qualifications and survive." He would be more tolerable. The Methodist clergyman said he thought there was white vs. black prejudice in "jobs" and "probably in stores." "You can't put a man in jail for snubbing a Negro." Besides, he added, "our civil right progress is resultant not of brotherly love, but because of legislation." Jenkins is looking forward to open housing in Eugene. The minister then attacked some newspapers as racist. He said papers which describe Negro law breakers as " 'John William, a Negro, ... ' are showing racist tendencies. They wouldn't say 'John WilIiams, a White, ... ' or 'John Williams, a Chinaman, ... '." REV. JENKINS Carmicle, who claims to be a nephew of Stokely Carmicle, the former chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), charged embittered Negro "parents" with creating the violence of past summers, by relatmg their feelings to the younger generation. O'Dell Carmicle said he was socially "distant" to his uncle because "he (Stokely) believes in Black Power, and I don't." O'DELL CARMICLE King become s martyr As this is written, the information has come that Martin Luther King Jr., Nobel Peace Prize winner, has been shot to death by an unknown white assailant as he stood on his hotel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. Thus, he became a martyr to the cause of Black Americans all over these United States. This surely emphasises the uniqueness of the situation that the black American finds himself in today. The fact that he has full citizenship rights and is accept~d in this area where there are so few of his race, does not give a full picture of his plight in other sections of the nation. Basically, he is unaffected unless he has come from a large city or from the South. If he were born in Lane County, the pressures on him, as being somehow different, have not been too readily apparent. In questioning a VISTA trainee, who is of another unique race, the Jewish race, the statement was made that the Negro is the same as any other race. In questioning a high school student who hopes to go to L.C.C. when he graduates, this statement was given, "I don't see where they are any different just because their skin is a different color." This, of course is in the Lane County area. Not so in Memphis or Mississippi, and perhaps there are even some in this area who would resort to violence against the Negro. But on the whole, it seems that intelligent people deplore acts of violence against any group or race because of color, habits or religious beliefs. For Martin Luther King Jr. it is over -and surely the condolences of the Nation go out to his breaved family.--Jim Townsend liw/4VA#% LErrERS 10 • EDITOR I 11111111 We?&fAWM¾f'Y!lifallh'lffA#Aw&W&IAPA'd#/4 Negroes proud?

"What can you expect from people that have lived all their lives in a closed society like Eugene-Springfield. We come from totally different backgrounds; how can they possibly understand?"

Why don't they leave him buried and quit making a martyr out of him?

Besides, the band and choir convocation was cancelled. It sure wasn't a very good week for the music world. "Everything fell through." Better luck next time. A search party is being organized for the campus mail. It was last seen heading towards the Bethel campus. Maybe it fell into the gaping canyon everyone is calling a ditch that stretches across the driveway. If an advisor is seen franticallytak ing shovel in hand and scrounging through the gravel and cars mixed together in that "ditch," it's because someone trusted a president's speech to the courier and he was never seen or heard from again. It must be keeping company with The Torch's two copies of the President's and Dean's Lists.

It seems that an instructor had mentioned that a particular title by a particular author would be a good book for the students to read. As a result, several students had come in looking for it and one student asked me to help her find out if we had it. Since we didn't have the book, I asked her if she wanted it in connection with a course and if she thought we should have it.. She replied in the affirmative and I also learned of the instructor's reference to it. She seemed surprised that students could recommend titles to be added to the library collection. I checked with the instructor who also thought we should ha~e the book, and ti has now been ordered. A good portion of my time is ~pent in securing library books arid materials for use by LCC students and staff. Most of the books in our library are added to the collection on the recommendation of faculty members because we feel that the instructor knows best what books will support the courses he teaches and provide the student with a deeper understanding of the subject. However, many students who come in will look for material a~d, upon discovering that m we don't have it, will leave. This applies to those looking for books on a subject as well as to those seeking specific authors and titles. Very few students realize that · they, as well as their instructors, know what they need when they come looking for li. brary materials. Therefore, I am as interested in finding out what a student did not find as in being able to provide what we already have. In short, feedback from individual students can give me a good idea as to what books need to be added to the collection. When a student makes a recommendation, I like to know to what course the request applies and to which instructor I may go to verify the request since our acquisition policy states that the library is to secure books and materials that support the curriculum. The important thing is that students can initiate the request that we purchase a book or books. By providing the information that I need in order to verify the applicability to LCC' s curriculum, you as a student can provide me with an indication as to what we need• in the library and render a small but valuable assistance in the long process of building an outstanding library collection that will better serve the needs of LCC students. If a recommendation to purchase a book by one student worked, it can, within reasonable bounds, work for you. • Bridal issue next week The Torch is going to publish a special Bricjal Issue on April 18.

Although caricatured endlessly as dedicated young fascists obsessed with the mirage of exterminating insidious communism and related socialist end products, the fact remains that as a semi-professional political machine in the narrow, conventional sense of the word, the student right is unequaled. This professionalism has developed, paradoxically enough, as a result of the incredible publicity that student leftists have received from the national press. Their largeand usually garish-demonstrations have rudely thrust the less flamboyant conservatives far into the background--where, in the leftist scenario, they vegetate in deserved obscurity. Actually, this guise of conservative anonymity is deceiving, for the vitality of the student right rests in its dedication to the democratic process. Student power for conservatives does not entail the leftist course of direct and militant social intervention regardless of law and order. It involves instead, power gained and administered through accepted formulas and established structures - student government, for instance, and national student organizations such as the Young Americans for Freedom. than dreaming and demonstrating. It's a simple, direct process, almost mechanical in fact. But that, after all, is how elections are won--and campus conservatives are out to win CHOICE 68. Their chances of doing so are not as minimal as some liberals would like to believe. For the politics of the right today are more the politics of charisma than any other political wing on the American scene. In '64 it was Barry Goldwater who hypnotically swayed campus conservatives, and this year the prophet's mantle rests on the shoulders of Ronald Reagan. Any sizeable student mobilization behind Reagan will do the liberal cause severve damage, and most campus conservatives know it. A glance at the CHOICE 68 ballot would tend to justify optimism. Those liberals dissatisfied with Lyndon Johnson's performance as Chief Executive have several extremely attractive candidates from which to choose. Predictably enough, the liberal vote for president will probably be extensively fragmented with no over-riding numerical superiority being enjoyed by any • single individual. Conservatives, however, can rally in convincingly heavy numbers around Reagan. True, some extremists will back Wallace, and more moderate conservatives will support Nixon. But the bulk will vote for Reagan. The result could be a surprisingly authoritative conservatice victory, one that would rock the leftists more than anything else. CONSERVATIVES WORK So while the leftists picket, agitate, and alienate, the student conservatives try to pack the polls and ch~ .Q_ut ~he vote, rat~er If the liberals and moderates go their usual stumbling ways and fail to moblize than the conservatives will do handsomely in CHOICE 68 - for the conservatives, at least, care enough to vote.

Submit before April 12. NO. 8 IN A SERIES End common reading faults By HOW·ARD SSC BIRD •Dir.e c tor Excerpted from the World Publishing Company book, "Study Faster and Retain More." We've talked about the first surveys and the memorization in past installments. We'll spend this one on yet another step in the "survey and resurvey" method--the "fast reading of the entire chapter." Students often have trouble with this step, simply because they read so slowly that a "fast reading" is impossible. They bog down in the print. You won't become a "speedreader" just by reading this, but if you feel your reading is entirely too slow, a little attention to a few common faults will go a long way toward clearing up your troubles. Most slow readers are slow because they "come down too hard" on every word. An illustration should make this clear. There is one day in every October when millions of baseball fans are waiting to hear the outcome of the World Series. When the first headlines come out, they usually read: "Yankees Win the World Series." short message that says alot. But it might also read: "Yanks Take Series" -which is even shorter; but says the same thing. But wouldn't it be just as meaningful to say simply: "Yanks"? The third headline is only one-fifth as long as the first but it says just as much. The point is that the reader who reads each word with equal emphasis is wasting a great deal of time. In the average textbook, Jqss than 50 per cent of the words will really mean anything. The trick is to concentrate on the key words--in most cases, the verbs and nouns--and let your eyes move lightly over the unimportant print. Or, to put it another way, read for thought rather than for words. Reading for thoughts will be easier if you use your eyes in the right way, too. Rather than focusing directly into the print, lift your ~yes ever so lightly above -the line of print, let your eyes relax--and you'll be able to ·se~ more words in a single eyestop and speed up accordingly. Finally, you might catch yourself moving your lips as you read. Stick a pencil in your mouth and chew on it as you read to stop this. Remember, it'~ always thoughts that you're going after, never just works. (NEXT: Taking Notes in Class.)

The first round of games was organized at a meeting of participants and district leaders held Monday, April 8. Although not all eight districts were represented at the meeting, the league will still consist of teams from each of the eight intramural districts. All eight district teams will see action the first night of the season. As was the c:ase in the intramural football league, ·all games will be played on fields in the Willamalane Park complex in Springfield . The park is located between .ttie 1200 and 1400 blocks of "G" street in Springfield and is adjacent to the city 'hospital. At the organizational meeting April 8, five districts, Springfield, Thurston, North Eugene, Churchill, Sheldon, were repre•sented by district managers and/or representatives. Two new district managers were named to fill vacancies. Stephen Harper was _n._a.med to head Springfield, and Jim Pur- tkk2¥2&t W&W/4 Bea ver s cefi was named ·Thurston's top man. Those districts no.t having representatives at the meeting were South Lane, Bethel and South Eugene. South Eugene, however, has established a tentative roster under the direction of Bert Paugh and Doug Coddington. All teams, with the possible exception of the Springfield Beavers are in need· of players. Also anyone who is interested in umpiring those games or acting as official scorers are also asked to come to these first counting games. As was established in the basketball program, all· officials will receive $2 per game for their services. All intramural games will follow the PE softball classes that are scheduled at the park on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All those taking the softball class are encouraged to stay and participate in the intramural league, to practice their skills. The league will use the 1968 Official Slow-Pitch Softball Rules as printed by H. Harwood and Sons inc., of Natwick, Mass. Beware of Beavers' prepare to be chewed. The Springfield Beavers, defending intramural district champions, are planning to add the intramural softball title to their recently claimed basketball championship. From all appearances, the Beavers seem destined for glory. Organizations has been the key to Beaver uccesses, and the talent behind the Springs_ field groupings is LCC broadcaster- journalist Stephen C. Harper. Under the direction of Harper, the Beavers are the only team fully organized, and by all indications, the most talented team going into the first round of league action which begins Tuesday, April 14. Talent is abundant on the 16-man Beaver roster. There are many familiar names associated with the Basketball Beavers, but there is one big (literally) addition to the Beaver organization. It comes in the form of 6 foot-one-inch 240 lb. Harvy Dolan. Dolan was a key varsity performer for River. McKenzie High School of- Blue --- ---***--- 1 must now set my format for this coluinn, which I hope, but doubt, will be printed every issue of The Torch. The Title, as you may have not noticed is ''Style Sportcasting." If you read "Guide for the Unmarried Man," you will be sure to notice that it is Sportcasting, and not Sportscasting. For a complete explanation check the "Guide" article. Using the definition of sport as anything or anyone, under the proper circumstances, this column will be a sounding board for any one or anything, so all you evil people be ready to pick me apart. Any contributions, especially money, will be appreciated. Written material will also be accepted. ---***--- The Beavers also have their share of all stars. The baseball list is led by Larry Fullerton, ex of the Springfield High School. Fullerton was an outstanding varsity pitcher for the Millers for three years and was given an all status in local Lane A-1 baseball league. The Beavers have used the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" theory to increase their already abundant talent. The only loss the · basketball Beavers suffered was to the Freshly Brewed Coffee, also of Springfield. The two teams have joined strengths under the Beaver name. The biggest Coffee contribution to the Beavers comes in the form of FBC forward Rick Foster. Foster was an outstanding infield-outfie lder for Springfield Hi~~for three years. _Foster matches his fielding sJcills with superior hitting ability. ., , SfORTS BY EUGENE COGBURN LCC students found the white water boat parade much to ·their liking. ¼d?&W#/4 W&WefHMiP /4 . April STYLE - SPORTCASTING Well hello there people. Eugene Cogburn here, dirty old man of The Torch sports staff. After several months of st~aight news writing as intramural publicity chairman and Torch sports editor, I am now about to embark into the field of entertainment as a feature columnist. This move on my part was primarily instigated by my highly sue cessful (?) controversial and completely ridiculous (?) (make your own judgement) article entitled "Guide for the Unmarried Man." I must thank Mr. Hugh Davis for his letter to The Torch, it may build interest• and readership, but Mr. Davis, who are you ? Everyone I talk to wants to know. I hope my column is more widely read than your editorials appear to have been. def end I hate Lane Community College! The name is really what I am concerned about. The Lane Community College for this outstanding local junior college just does not seem to fit any more. LCC is no longer Last Chance College, but first chance college. With a great new campus going into use next fall, I think a new name is also appropri~te. Not that Lane Community College is so bad, but I feel that we need something to . reflect the newsness and formality of our school is sure to develop with the new campus. Personally, I would prefer to attend Lane Junior College (LJC), or Lane State College (LSC) (that h~s a familiar ring), or even Lane l-ollege (L~..:. ---***--- And now a word on sports. Ag-rad student, Pm not sure what area, at Oregon State, Mark Williams has recently completed a research ·project on present athletics and future activities for Oregon's 12 junior colleges. We are certainly glad that Lane• is finally getting on the stick, so to speak. According to Mr. Williams' project, Lane and Linn-Benton are the only two Oregon JC's that have no intercollegiate athletics. Lane hopes to remedy this situation next year, but that bond issue still has to be passed. Some people are not counting too heavily on it being passed. $#@%¢¢&*±@#$%¢&*)+-_ 4:30 5:30 4:30 5:30 f:.·.- II I I ;;: ....[!;! Ill .. .. All games will be held at Willamala ne Park, Spfld.
