Lane Community College Vol. 5, No. 11 40Q0 East 30th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon 97405 Acting Editor a Gary Grace, an LCC freshman, was appointed Jan.13 by the Media Board as Acting Editor of the Torch. Gary w i 11 serve as Editor through Winter Term, completing the term of form';!r Editor Nita Sander. Applications for the next full term of editorship, which begins Spring Term, will be accepted by the Media Board at the end of Winter Term. A r ad i o broadcasting major, Gary served as Production Manager for The ·Torch Fall Te rm. His previous journalism ex perience included serving as Editor of the Toledo High School Boom,~rang during his junior year and as Business Manager while a senior. He also worked parttimP. for 2 1/2 years and full timt~ for a year at the Lincoln Co".lnty Leader, a weekly newspaper in Toledo, where he becam:· familiar with all phases of newspaper production and was promoted to Assistant Shop Supervisor. Gary also worked for a year as a full timt1 announcer for KTOO radio station in Toledo. One of the first tasks facing the new Acting Editor was reorganization of The Torch staff. Hewitt Lipscomb, a Freshman telecasting major, was appointed to the new position of Assistant Editor. Other changes include the creation of an Editorial Board, with Larry Libby, a journalism major and Torch columnist, as Editorial Editor. G a r y hopes, with these changes, to delegate respo:'lsibility m o re e v e n 1y Traffic change scheduled January 20, 1970 ointed for those who like to sleep in or were lucky enough to get a 10:00 class as their first. As to the problem o~ which lane to use, one thing should be kept in mind: if you get into the right incoming lane, chan~es are you will end up in the South or graveled parking lots. If you happen to get into the left incoming lane, you should finish somewhere in the vicinity of the West parking lots or the Administration Building. The key to solving Lane's traffic problem is for everyone to watch the signs and cooperate! If everyone does, this plan will probably work. -- - - - - - - - - - - ~ - I / // ~ -......11•1 +-~, I II I I .

The Torch will have a new look with the design of a new m as the ad, and s om e min o r changes in content are planned. World news, states Gary, will be a regular feature of the paper, and a correspondent will be appointed to report news of interest to LCC students about events at the University of Oregon. Gary also hopes to encourage more expression of opinion from the student body. LCC student receives national award Steven Knebel, a first year LCC student in Business Administration, will receive a humanitarian award Tuesday from Oregon Governor Tom Mi~Call. To be eligible for the award · a person must have saved someone's life by using techniques learned in a '' mi9dical self-help emergency care" course offered Two into one won't go! That's the problem with traffic entering LCC's Wtst entranee--two lanes narrowin6 to one produce nothing but traffic jam<,; and temper ta11trums. To rem~dy this situation, LCC security officers have developed a plan to reduce the co:ifusion-incoming lanes will be changed from two-way to one-way during heavy traffic ho'Jrs. The traffic change was scheduled for Jan. 19, yesterday, but will go into effect only when signs are posted. One-way traffic at the West entrance will begin at 6:00 a.m. for the early birds, and will continue until 10:00 a.m. by the Public Health Service and Civil Defence agencies. Knebel, 19, is credited with saving the life of his cousin, Brian Whitmore, the son of M:.. and Mrs. Kenneth Whitmore, of Eugene. The rescue occurred last April when Brian, then 10, accidentally hanged himself and lost consciousness while J?laying with LINDA BISSELL AND JOEL MOREL LO rehearse a scene from the "The M•~dium/' (See story page 4) (Photo by Hewitt Lipscomb) a rope swing outside Knebel's home. Knebel returned home about that tim1"3 and saw Brian kneeling motionless on the ground. He loosened the r op e around the boy's neck, then began mouth-tomouth resuscitation. Brian soon resumed breathing normally. Dr. Warren W. Weiseth, who examined Brian later, told authorities that "Steve's ability to react to this total situation in a rapid and orderly manner resulted in the saving of his cou sin's life." Presentation of a medal and certificate of recognition to Knebel was scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20, in the South Eugene High School auditoriu:n. Woodrow Savage, 16, of Glide also received the award for saving his two year old cousin from drowning. Knebel and Savage took firstaid courses in high school that utilized instructional materials provided by fed e r a I agencies through the Oregon State Board of Health. Th9 course Knebel completed while attending South Eugene High School combined the medical self-help course with the standard first-aid instruction offered by the Am8rican Red Cross. The Red Cross has cited Knebel for "extraordinary personal action" in connection with the rescue now being recognized by the federal agencies. Only 13 other persons in the nation have received similar recognition since the award program was initiated three years ago by the U.S. Public Health Service and the Office of Civil Defense. The LCC Board of Education declared itself opposed in a Jan. 14 meeting to the proposed lid on enrollments at Oregon public four-year institutions of higher education. The enrollment lid, said the Board, would send too many college transfer students to the com munity colleges and would shift the cost of educating them from state to localpropertytaxpayers. The Board's statement follows: '' The Lane Community College Board is concerned about the announced intent in Oregon to shift lower-division students from the four-year institutions to community colleges, which will be a by-product of limiting enrollments at the public four-year institutions. We feel such ::i nr!lr-· tice would jeopardize the basic philosophy of a comprehensive community college, as it was established under Oregon law. This change will create an unintended increase in enrollment of college transfer students in some com munity colleges, which are bylaw required to meet the needs of the community for v o cat i o na 1 or technical e du c at ion programs. Such a practice would shift the cost of educating some lowerdivision students from state re- venue to the local community college district property tax. The Board of Education of Lane Community College is opposed to this an no u n c e d intent and will do everything prudent to call to the attention of the fallowing the ramifications of this s h i ft of lower-division students: taxpayers of the Lane Community College District, other community colleges, the state a.dminis- • tration, the four-year inst it u tions, the news media, and members of the Legislature."

"It is easier to be critical than to be correct." These words of Benjamin Disraeli, although spoken many years ago~ have never lost their significance. Caref~lly planned, properly directed criticism has always been a maJor force for g~od in the formation of priorities within a given society. Destructive criticism, however, heedless of fact or effect, has never served to benefit anyone. A letter in a recent issue of the Register-Guard leve_led an o;>en attack on the structure and policies of Lane Comm~mty C_?,Uege. In view of the fact that this paper is concerned with LCc s relationship to the community, it is our belief that these charges . . should be answered. 1. The author of the letter contends that Lane has filled its main fountain with "garbage." The fountain un~er co~siderati~n was created to fulfill two functions. As well as its obvious architectural purpose, the fountain serves as a "bio-pond," stocked with various forms of animal and plant life. Th,a stru_cture has proved itself valuable to the Biology Department, and 1s, we bt3 • lieve, an example of making full use of one's facilities. 2. The letter implies that the "leadership" of LCC was undent~ _to pu_rchase a stud~nt reasonable in requiring full timt1 stu_ body card at a cost of two dollars. Admm1strahon sources pomt out that Lane students, either directly or by m,~ans of the student government, have requested a student b_~Y. fee for at least two years to help finance more student achv1hes. The college resisted any such move until the ASB governmt1nt pres~mted proposals for activities which had som,~ relationship to the educational . .. . . . program. In order to provide its students with the d1vers1t~ of achv_it~es 15 and services now available, the college had the choi~e. ~f ~a mg tuition and making an outright gift ~o t~e ASB, or mihatmg the student body fee of two doll_ars (which 1s very low compared to the average Oregon commumty college fee of $12.50 per term). 3. The author suggests th~t the. student_ senate_ uses the aforementioned revenue to . pay for poetic readmgs, pigeon race~ an? turkey shoots." It 1s true that th~ senate allott_ed $~5_earher m the year to bring in a local poet, whom turn read his origmal works to interested students, but this demonstrates the student governmt~nt's willingness to provide varied programs on the campu~. . As for the pigeons and turkeys, the senate has expressed no fl. . . nancial intentions of supporting either bird. 4. The letter states, "As m2ny school officials have pomted . out, LCC is ma king money hand over fist from new enrollmlmts ••• " th':! "many school officials" making this charge could not b_e located. A Business Office source commented: "We are not makmg money. We now have one month's financial operating money inthe~ank." The Lane student, on the average, pays only 20 to 21% of h.:s co5t to the college. The remainder com,~s from federal, state and local . revenue so'Jrces. 5. Another line in the letter says, "They're takmg our money to small towns all over the county to set up little schools, thus causing a deficiency here." According to college officials, the completion of the central campus will remain the first concern. The construction of "satellite campuses" or educational centers would not mt1an failing to increase the capacity of present faciSatellite campuses are at this tim,~ only under consilities. deration, and Florence is the only site that has been mE!ntioned seriously in this connection. 6. The letter continues by saying, "They will probably have to end the 'open door' policy of admission ... create grade requirements ... or raise the tuition again." We maintain that rather than ending the open door policy, long range planning for s:a.tellite educational centers will help keep the door open by allowing those who live far away to take advantage of newly expanded facilities. However, we are informed, any such extension will not be ma.de at the expense of the cel"!tral camuus • As far as we know there are no plans under cons1deratio~ rdr adjing burdensome g~ade requirements or ~aising tuition. !n reference to the college, the author of the letter states that "it looks as though a good thing is about to comf:l to an end." We take issue with this--from our point of view, it looks like a good thin6 is getting better. °' 0, VIEW FROM THE 4,, 7ute 1tadd#r 'U, LIBBY'S LANE I The Radical Scouts h . h Handbook . or, T e Rise of t e Tenderfoot Anarchist I'd n,3ver intended to join the demonstration at all.

Matheson has ma:ie some rather o'ltlandish, unfounded and undocumented statem,~nts in regard to Lane Community College and its student government inhis recent letter to the local newspaper. Evidently, Mr. Matheson has failed to keep up in what is actually happening within the student government. Judging by the remarks in his letter, it sounds as if he has a personal grudge and is endeavoring to take it out on the 40 people who make up the Student Senate. Why, I have no idea. It might be appropriate to point out that members of the Senate serve the student body free of charge. It's an almost certainty that once a student becom,~s involved in student governm,~nt, his grade point average will drop. One can safely say the m~mhers of the Senate pay to work for nothing and the kind of gratitude they receive for trying to do a t h an kl e s s job and accom;>lish something for their fellow students is a pointless slam by an uninform,~d individual. Let's set the record straight. The student body fee charged at Lane is among the lowest charged within the state, not only within the community college structure but the other institutions o!higher learning. The fee charged among all the community colleges in Oregon runs from $2.00 to $33.00. That is a far cry from the $2.00 for a full-time student and $1.00 for a part-time student at Lane. Now, where doesthemoneygo? Half of the athletic program is solely supported by the Student This year the Student Body. Athletics, Sen ate budgeted: $8,500; Intramur als, $1,080; Forensics (speech team), $1,000; Club promotion, $750; Fall, Winter and Spring activities, $2,000 each (total $6,000); Alumni Association, $500; Rally Squad, $450; Publications (Torch newspaper, $750; Titan yearbook, $1,000), $1,750; Titan Code (student ha:,dbook), $800; activity calendar/ newslett er, $250. TOTAL: $21,000. Let us go back over some o1 the areas mentioned. The activities budgeted f o 1 each term will come about only when interested students wish tc o~anize and work to put on an a<!tivity. The Student Senate is NOT here to entertain the student body. Our job is governing and managing in the best interests of all the students. We are the voice of the students to all areas (from the administration, faculty and board to the entire community). The student newspaper is an absolute necessity in trying to communicate to the campus what is going on. The Senate budgeted $750 to help the TORCH get on its f e e t until it could acquire en9ugh advertising to sustain its o:;;>eration. I have only mentioned a few of the budgeted items. Now, let's delve into some of the areas that seemed to arise that weren't planned on. The Senate awarded a tuition scholarship to a very deserving individual so that this person could continue to go to school, circumstances warranting it. We have helped two other people in emergencies w he re other avenues had failed. One involved a gift of $200 to a young lady who had lost everything she had in a fire, along with other family disasters that complicate, the situation. Another person couldn't get their ill spouse to 0 re go~ without an emergency loan--the Senate took care of this. The city bus service, presently operating between the campus and the Eugene-Springfield area, was started by initiative and funds of the Senate. The Board saw the need and granted enough money to ensure the service will continue for the re ma.ind er of the year. Yes, the Senate did allocate funds ($75) to procure the serfice of a poet to read some of As I pointed out his w o r k. earlier, we are the voice of all the students and therefore must do our level best to serve all of them to the utmost of our ability. Some people like sports, others enjoy music and literature, so we try to get something for everyone. We helped to send the Cross Country team to Pittsburg, Penn., to compete in the nationals. We now have a national champion at LCC. Presently, Lane is spo:'lsoring four girls to compete in the M:ss Eugene contest. Last term the Senate joined together with a committee appointed by the Student Senate at the U of O and organized a joint housing committee whose function is to aid students with housing problems. Our share of the bill---$200 . I could go on at length about what the Senate is doing for you and with your money, but space prohibits this. I am ,~xtending an invitation to Mr. Matheson and any other citizen and student to come to the Senate office and find out what's going on. We would be delighted to discuss these problems with anyone. It gets very frustrating trying to do something for somebody e 1s e when they won't take the time to come and tell you what it is they really do want, but instead level a blast at well-meaning efforts to do what is believed to be just and right. We aren't mind readers; you must tell us what you want us to do. The re are two types of criticism: good and bad.

Comparing this album with his first, ''With a Little Help From mv Friend~." reveals some~ shortcomings, although it's a fine record. First, Steve Winwood is very conspicuous by his absence. Second, ''Friends'' was such a fantastic album that one may expect too much from Cocker's new release. "Delta Lajy," Cocker's hit single, i s on his new disc, along with two Beatie biggies "Sometimes" and "She Came Through the Bathroom Window". I think the thing I like most about Joe Cocker is that he sings from the guts and doesn't try to sound like anybody else, although he's been compared t o R a y Charles and Richie Havens. So many white artists are trying to relate a black image to their aujiences. Credence Clearwater, for example, is showed on their new album playing with black children in the ghetto, but it doesn't show them jriving off in their $5,000 station wagon. Cocker uses no gimmicks or phony pictures to s e 11 his records. Maybe that's why he's so underrated. Anvbodv who feels that "Lady SoiJl" has been "spinning her wh,?els" the last year or so will change his mind after listening to "Today I Sing the Blues" (Columbia GS 9956)~ Although the vocal is still definitely Aretha, the use of an electric bass and ro~k-style organ makes this a new, far-out thing for Miss Franklin. Bacharach's "Walk on By·,·, has been done by so many artists that it has almost lost its bt~auty, but Aretha does it with so much by Colin Campbell I stylish soul that it's w!1at you might call "fresh sa.d11ess". The side-m,m on this album include Sheldon and Benny Powell, Frank Weiss, Chuck Rainey, and Jerom,1 Richardson who plays lovely tenor solos. This record is blues all the way, and the only bad thing on the album is Sue Epstein's style of liner-notes on the back cover which is usually used to describe a "Boyce and Hart" or 4'1910 Fruit Gum Co .." record. Along with "Today I Sing the Blues," Columbia has released M on g o Santamaria' s I at e s t , "Workin' on a Groovy Thing." Although both L. JJ's are produced and supervised by the sam fi people, that's where the similarity ends. Not even the qualified reeds of SoEy Fortune, Jo~ Farrell, and Art Kaplan can make this album ,wen a fair comparison to Mango's earlier works, such as "Explodes" (at the Village Gate) "El Bravo," or his greatest, "Mongomania". Along with the title song, Mango does on his new disc other "new favorites" 1i ke "Spinning Wheel,", "Proud Mary,", "My Cherie Amour," and Lennon an1 McCartny's "Get Ba:k." Mongo Santamaria, on his last three albums, has done little original work, and instead has consistantly recorded popular hits by other artists. This ma:.:es money, but I hate to see a good jazz musician turn so comm,1rcial. Perhaps this has biased my review somewhat, so I will say that if you like "Super-Pop" jazz you m-ay dig "Workin' on a Groovy Thing."

Mobile TV unit acquired for Lane A new m,)':>ile TV broadcastin6 unit b2gan its career for LCC Ja;1. 15. The mobile unit, in nontechnical terms, is a used Corvair va:a1 filled with closed circuit television equipmnnt worth approximately $13,000. Fifty per cent of the co.st of the unit was paid through Federal funds and fifty per cent by LCC. The TV mobile unit will also have great diversity as th,? truck carries 150 feet of cable for each camera. LCC can be especially proud of the m,:i'Jile U1it since the Uni versity of Oregon, an old~r and richer college, does not have a mo'Jile unit of its own. In fact, the University of O:~egon Family Life series is being taped by the LCC TV m :ibile unit. According to Jim Brock, who helped build the mobile unit, "The primary purposes of the mobile unit are instructional, TV and cam.pus projects, and for the Dial Retrieval System." The m1; bUe unit will also be used by the TV Boradcasting class, which is already scheduled to tape all harm: basketball gam0s. For those who are technically inclined, there follows a list of the major pieces of electronic equipmtmt in the m,;bile truck: An International Videa Corporation (IVC) Video Tape Record,~r, which receives Visual signals from the cam: ras ·and so11nd signals from the microphmes an-1 places them on magnetic tape.

A Dynnair switcher, used to • change from one visual so-.irce to another. A Ball Brothers special effects generator which allows for such effects as split screen. Telemation sync generator which matches visual and soun1 signals. In view of the number of requests already received for use of the mobile truck, congratulations are in order for all those responsible for the acquisition and building of the mobile unit, which is expected to be of great service to LCC and eventually tha cornmt:.nity. ~p'Ll~fie BIG ••M" SHOPPING CENTER • • D i• BUS SCHEDULEi• D D D ii ii iiD The present City Bus Service to the LCC campus will continue throughout the remainder of the 1969-70 school year.

With the present rate of growth, he said, world population can be expected to reach 6 billion by the turn of the century and 12 billion by 2040. Streisinger suggested courses in sex education and population be given by schools to help curb population growth. He stressed that it is not just lo·.v er-income groups that have too many .children but that middleclass Am1:•ricans are also contributing to the population growth.

Local Boy Scouts are now attending basic electricity classes on the LCC campus to acquire merit badges in electronics. The classes in electronics are held five nights a year, with a limit of 80 scouts for any particular night. The first electronics class this year was held January 5, and they will continue each Monday night through February 2 in the Adult Education building. Instructors for the Scouts are selected j ou rne y men electricians from the local trade union and electricians from the Eugene Water and Electric Board. The curriculum for these spec i a I classes consists of lectures and various demonstrations of both principles and equipment. The Scouts are given twopamphlet-size books to study.

Dellenbaclc presents U.S. flag • to Lane Student Senate A flag which flew from the top of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D,C., has beengiven to the LCC student body. -Congressman John Dellenback of Oregon's Fourth District presented the flag to Student Body President Dave Spriggs at a ceremony Friday afternoon, Jan. 16, in the Administration Building • Board Room. Chorus to present program for Black Studies The LCC Chorus will present Robert De Commier's moving work "They Called Her Moses" especially for the Black Studies Program sometime in February. A date has not been set by Chorus Director Wayte Kirchner, but rehearsals are in full swing. "Moses" is atwenty-fiveminute cantata which adapts quite well to staging and choreography. For this reason the production will include a dance group coached by LCC's Joe Zingo and narration will be handled by Ed Ragozzino. The work is based upon the life of Harriet Tubman and the songs of her time and people. During the Civil War Harriet Tubman performed as a nurse and as an intelligence agent for the Union Armj·. A former slave, she was a main cog in the Underground Railroad which led thousands of slaves to freedom in the United States and Canada. "Moses" was first performed by the composer's own group, the well known Robert De Co r -· mie,r , Singers. Research grants awarded to ~cience, La!'guage Arts professors is simply labeled "Electricity," and covers such topics as ions, @lectromagnetism 1 batteries and alternating and direct current. The book also explains how electricity is used in various industries, ans we rs the question "What is Electricity?" and suggests "Things to Make." TI1e second pamphlet titted '' How to Build 5 Useful Electrical Devices," gives instructions for projects including a circuit tester and a portable burglar alarm. According to Joris Jo~mson of the Adult Education Department, the scouts are asked to choose and build two of the five projects. Projects will be demonstrated by students and evaluated by the instructors at the fourth meeting, Jan. 26. In making the presentation, Dellenback said that LCC was making the concept of education come alive in more than just an academic sense. It is here, he said, that we find the potential of c om mun it yinvolvement to a large degree. The flag could symbolize the unity of civilian and government factors working together. The flag will fly over the Student Body office in the Center Building. Rally Squad sells LCC spirit buttons Members of the LCC Rally Squad are selling spirit buttons to LCC students, at a costof25t The money raised by these sales will be used to purchase outfits for the newly elected yell kings. Approximately 100 buttons have been sold. The large blue and white buttons have a picture of two basketball players and the words '·'LCC Titans." They may be obtained from any member of the rally squad, before gam1~s and during half times, or by placing an order with the Student Senate secretary in the Student Senate Office, second floor of the Center Building.

They are expected to use about 60 p e r c e n t of an $88,768 grant awarded to the Teaching Research Division of the State System of Higher Education at Monmouth. The science project of which Mitchell is director, will develop a list of concepts to be learned and information as to appropriate materials to be studied. Advanced During Fall Term various companies donated aircraftparts and accompanying service manuals to the Airframe and Power Pl~t section of the Mechanics Department. This donated equipment will save the Me ~hanics Dept. several hundred dollars. De-icer "boots" were donated by the H. F. Goodrich Corporation. These "boots," which retard ice formation, are rubber devices attached to the leading edge of the airplane wing. McCalley Industrial and Hartzell Propeller, Inc., donated various types of airplane propellers to be used as educational aids. Students will be taught to run and service them. In addition, Piper Aircraft and Cessna Aircraft companies donated service manuals for propellers and other equipment. A new means of getting news of LCC to the community has been installed in the LCC Office of Information and Publications. The Code-A-Phone, a device for recording messages to be played back over the telephone, will be used by Larry Romine, Director of Information and Publications, in publicizing the college. Those interested in LCC can obtain news items by dialing 747-9642, which plays back up to six-minutes of taped information. The tape automatically rewinds to be ready for the next call. A primary reason for installing the Co:te-A-Phone was to enable LCC to release news more efficiently to radio stations. SCOUT GETS "SHOCK" as electricity makes his hair stand on end.

The 98-83 victory was the Titans' third in a row and ninth of the season. The host Titans trailed early in the contest, bat three baskets by Pardun and a layin by Rob Barnes gave Lane a lead they never relinquished. Lane finished the first half with a strong 59-40 lead, and outscored their opponents 20 to 9 in the last five minutes of the half. A free throw by 6'2" forward Rob Barnes gave the Titans their largest lead of the day--73-50-with 12:18 remaining in the gam1~. The v i s i t o r s then staged a comeback threat as they sliced the Titans lead to nine, with 5:22 left on the scoreboard clock. At this point, Titan coach Mt~l Krause choked any Clatsop hopes of an upset victory by ordering his well-rested starting squad back into the game. The starting five quickly regained the lost momentum o:, two baskets by Pardun and six free throws by 6' freshman guard Ken Boettcher. When the final buzzer sounded, the Titans were ahead by 15. The Titans got a sterling offensive performance from sophomore Tom Pardun, who sank 15 of 22 from the floor en route to his season high game o".ltput of 35 points. Ro":> Barnes ended the evening with 15 points, while Paul Stoppel and Ken Boettcher added 12 and 14 respectively. Center Dane Bandell, a 6'3" freshman from Astoria, led all Clatsop scorers as he tossed in 22.

LCC wrestling team The LCC wrestling team pick':!d up its first win of the season Friday, J~1. 16, a.:id did it the easy way as they d~feated Clatsop 33-5. Only three of LCC's grapplers had to touch the mat. Two of these, Mflce Pfaller at 17'7 lbs. and Jim Mcirvin in the Rally squad asks for support of teams "More students should be at the games!" This is the pleas of the LCC rally squad, to which two yell kings were recently added. Jack Johnson, a freshman majoring in business and physiology, and Scott Goodman, a freshman in elem~ntary education, were elected during the month of December. The squad has been keeping b•1sy with practices, gamt1s, and fund raising projects to help increase support and enthusiasm for LCC sports. They attended several soccer gam,1s and are now attending most of the basketball games. So::11i:- of the Rally Squad girls picked mistletoe during the Christmas season and sold it to aid th!Jir financial problem~. The squad is now selling booster buttons and are in hopes of raising enough money for their uniform-s and travel expenses. Th,3 rally squad's main desire is to have larger turnourts at the gam11s, because th~ team definely needs more support. The squad feels there is not enough enthusiasm within the student body. The gam11s are exciting and fun an:i everyone is urged to attend. Tne Titans have a winning team and they deserve the students' support!

As in th,e first two matches, Lane's strength appears to be in the heavier weights. Jim M,!Irvin from Marist High School is still und,afeated, having won three straight matches. Mike Pfal}er from North Eugene has lost only one ma·~ch and was very im_i:1ressive in his victory last Friday.

Played in front of about 200 screaming Umpqua fans, the game seemed to be all Umpqua throughout the first half. The Timbermen led 34-29 at the half. But when the Tim be rm e n' s most experienced player, 6' 1/2" forward Dan Parker, fouled out with more than 17 minutes to play in the second half, Umpqua's lead was gradually worn down until LCC tied it up at 52-all with 9:58 left. The Titans started to jell when 5'11" reserve guard PaulStoppell came in early in the second half and forward Tom Pardun started dropping in most of the 26 points he collected for the night. LCC coach Mel Krause said the second-half play of Stoppell was '' just great" and a real spark to the winning Titans. The Elmira graduate dropped in eight points from the floor and made four of five attempts at the free throw line. The last eight minutes of play saw the Titans go ahead 54-52 and, after about two minutes of see-saw lead changing, they steadily mounted a lead over the Timbermen that held until the end. Tuesday night's win puts LCC at 3-1 in Oregon Community College Athletic Association conference play and 8-1 for the season.

"He worked with the boys on it all week so we could cut down the rebound advantage that Clackamas had because of their height." The Cougars from Clackamas had five men over 6'3", including center Rolly Sims who stood at 6' 6". But the Titans' press, good ball handling, and finely executed plays more than overcame the visitor's tall men.

WORLD NEWS Twelve Mississippi school districts desegregate (Washington)--UPI--Total desegregation spread to an additional dozen Mississippi school districts this week as they opened classrooms under the Supreme Court Integration Mandate. The racial integration, now more thorough in Mississippi than in m:my big northern cities, was re 1unc tan tI y accepted by thousands of w h it e s although thousands of others abandoned public schools. As the districts complied with the order, the high scourt took another step toward furthering desegregation across the South. I t refused to hear arguments that de facto school segregation should be permitted if it results solely from housing patterns. Hayakawa to stay at S. F. State (San Fr an c is c o)--UPI--Langu age expert-turned college president, S. I. Hayakawa, says he will stay on as president of San Francisco State College and not run for the U. S. Senate or the post of California Superintendent of Public Instruction. Hayakawa told news men he sees his work at San Francisco State "as begun but far from completed." He said he will continue to fight for "academic freedom" as head of the college (torn last year by violent student protest). Polls have shown Hayakawa to be one of California's most popular figures. Administration thinks inflation slowing (Washington)~-UPI--The White House says there's mounting evidence that the Administration's efforts to halt inflation are beginning to work. A spokesman cited two indicators, the Wholesale Price Index and the Consumer Price Index, to back his claim. Both showed much smaller gains the last half of 1969 than in the first half. Earlier, the Commerce Departm.snt reported that personal income made the smallest advance of any month of 1969 in December. And the Gross National Product has been reported as showing no actual growth in last year's fourth quarter. 91st Congress wants more work less politics- (c ap it o 1 Hill)--UPI--The 91st Congress began its second session Monday with a prayer and a promise. The promise was to work more and engage in less politics. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said the Senate would work even on Saturdays to "try to keep abreast of the times." He alsoexpressed what he termed '-'a vain hope that there will be a minimum of politics this election year.'' The Senate also took up the controversial 19-billion 700-million dollar spending bill for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare which President Nixon has promised to veto as infla- r lll•IIJ~ without a budget since July 1.) Mansfield hopes for a vote on the bill before President Nixon delivers his State of the Union message Thursday.
