He was chosen from five other candidates. Mr. Patrick will represent LCC at the annual National Junior College As soc i at ion convention held in Portland, Maine, August 18-26. The convention attracts representatives from many of the nation's junior colleges and trys to bring to light the educational problems and ideas of the day. When asked how he felt about being selected, Patrick stated, "I was surprised and appreciate it very much." Mr. Patrick has two particular concerns he hopes to introduce at the convention. The first area deals with vocational instruction and working Opininions sought from LCC students Eight students have expressed their feelings about LCC by recording comments for the film "A College That Cares." The Torch would like to give other students a chance to express their views of Lane. A special section in the May 19 issue will be devoted to student comment about the college, and its programs. Topics students might wish to consider include: Why did you choose to come to LCC? Did it meet your expectations? If so, how? If not, why ? What aspects do you particularly like about LCC? What area could be improved, and how? Letters should be typed, double spaced, and signed with name, major and year. Phone number and/or address should be included so students can be contacted if necessary, but will not be publisbed. Letters must be received in the Torch office, 206 Center, by Friday, May 15, at 5:00 p.m. • with industry and the utilization of i ndustrial specialists to try to aquaint the vocational student PAUL PATRICK Selected as Great Teacher with the latest advances of industry. "If you can get these boys to think, they will Qe _a tremendous asset to industry," stated Patrick. The second area of interest to Patrick is a training program which he is concerned with at The vocational students LCC. are trained for three terms and then in the summer are placed in industry. The following fall they come back for the last three terms in which "round table" discussions are held where they tell of their experiences to the new students. The idea is not new in education, Patrick pointed out, but it has not been utilized much in the mechanical fields. The idea of the training-work program is to place students in as many different industries as possible for their term of working. This way they can bring back more varied experiences to the shop, added Patrick. Classical guitarist scheduled C 1as s i c a 1 guitarist Jeffery Chinn will present a free, public concert at LCC on Thursday, May 7, at 11 a.m. in Forum 301. Chinn's repertoire on the conventional classical guitar includes both modern and traditional pieces, among the Bach, Villa-Lobos, Torroba, Dowland and Satie. He also is expected to play music of the English Renaissance on the 13-string Stradivarius guitar. Chinn, 22, recently was 'lead gmtarist with the touring company of "Man of La Mancha." Previously he played guitar in the flamenco idiom with Ciro's Flamenco Compnay and for Los Flamencos de la Bodega, both acclaimed by critics. Chinn' s achievements have earned him the plaudits of Senor Juan Serrano, currently the most celebrated maestro of the flamenco guitar. '' J e ff plays beautiful and strong flamenco," he says, "but he has even more force and beauty in the classical." Composer Alan Hovhaness reportedly was so moved by Chinn's talen that he has a classical guitar composition in process, though he has not previously written for the guitar. Even comedian Pat Paulsen has commented: "If I had the talent Jeff has, I would give up my candidacy for president." Members of the LCC Board of Education met informally with a dozen of the college's administrators on Monday, April 26, to discuss plans for seeking a new president and the necessity for appointing an interim president after the departure of Dr. Robert Pickering. No actual termination date for President Pickering's services has yet been announced. His current contract expires June 30, and official board action would be necessary to extend it beyond that date. The Board emphasized that until Pickering's departure he will serve as President and support from the staff will be expected during that time. Though the Board would like to avoidnaming an interim president, it may be necessary to do so. The consensus of the Board was that such an interim appointee should be someone currently on the LCC staff. Procedures for selecting a new president were discussed at the April 26 meeting and at an informal work session on April 28. May 11 was set as the date for the first meeting of the new presidential s c re en in g committee. The committee will include a member of the Board, an LCC student, a secondary school superintendent, an LCC administrator, a representative oflabor, a college transfer teacher, a vocational teacher, a member of the civil service staff, a college counselor, and a member of the college's lay advisory Laborlndustry-B us in es s-EducationCommittee (LIBEC). The Board made several significant changes in the approach used last year to select a president for LCC. They plan to nar- row their search from nationwide to the Pacific Northwest, shorten the time expected to be taken to select a new president, and make less rigid some of the criteria for a candidate's qualification. The Board hopes to be (continued on page 4) Rev. Phillips to speak ·at LCC The Rev. Channing E. Phillips, the first negro to be nominated for president of the U.S., will deliver a public speech at LCC on Thursday May 7. Invited by the LCC convocations committee, Phillips will discuss "Politics, Religion and the Black M an." The program will begin at 8 p.m. in Health 102. Admission is free. Phillips, a Democratic nation. al committeeman from Washington, D,C., was nominated for president at the Democratic convention in 1968. Described by his supporters as the "most rational voice in the crusade for black power," he is president of the Housing Development Corporation in Washington, D. C., and has been senior minister of Lincoln Temple of the United Church of Christ in the national capitol since 1961. Phillips is a member of the Board of Convenors of the Black United Front, a member of the District of Columbia Commissioners' Council on Human Relations, and a member of the board of directors of the D. C. Urban League. He earned a divinity degree at Colgate Rochester Divinity School and a doctor of philosophy degree at Drew University. THIS RHODODENDRON ILLUSTRATES THE BEAUTY of the LCC campus.

One of ''The Apocalypse" members, Joe Zingo (as Danny) cavorts, flipps, jumps and flings himself over the stage and into the arms of anyone who will hold him. Zingo adds individual exuberance to an exuberant rockmusical. Zing o, choreographer for the show, has done theatre work and dancing since he was a teenager in Greenwich Village in New York. Stage designer Dave Sherman's zebra striped and shimmering set, with his wife Linda's wild colorful costuming easily lent themselves to the uninhibited musical. One gentleman, while putting on his coat to leave after he and his wife had finished dancing on stage with the performers, said, "I don't know about everybody else, but I had a ball tonight. I think the show would make for good out-patient treatment for a mental hospital." If audience concensus is any indication--"Your Own Thing" was "right-on.'' It's quite a show! You can do your thing with "The Apocalypse" and company •May 6, 7, 8 and 9. Tickets are $2 and may be purchased at the information desk in the administration building. Curtain time is 8 p.m. You are advised to come on time because I arrived late, and had to wait for the conclusion of the opening scene to be let in. 'Your Own Thing'-it's a sleeper by Jon Haterius There is Humphrey Bogart-John Wayne--W. C. Fields-Queen Elizabeth I--the Pope-and even child-star Shirley Temple. These notables backed up the cast, via cycloramic projection, for the LCC rock-musical "Your Own Thing" and helped the stage performers do their thing when the show opened to a packed Forum Theatre audience May 1. "Your Own Thing" is really a chance to see a psychedelic light show, devil-may-care stage antics, and hear some fast, hardhitting rock music. The music was LOUD, and one senior citizen remarked, "I'm hard of hearing, and I don't understand about what kids now days are doing, but I liked the show very much. It made me feel young--and I didn't have any trouble hearing the music.'' The audience Friday night was primarily middle age or older, but comment after the LCC performers had done their thing ran about like this. "It was a surprise!", said a middle-aged executive-type man. A gray-haired grandmothers aid, ''The sh ow was loud, modern, gay and fun to see. I didn't understand some of the words, but my husband said that he would like to see it again." (Her husband could not be reached for he was dancing on the stage with the performers and other members of the audience after the finale.) Another comment from a grandmotherly lady (this is a quote) "I 'grooved' on it!" A teenager said, '' I couldn't hear some of the lines, but the lights and music were out of sight. It was kind of groovy." LCC's "Your Own Thing" has obviously transcended the "generation gap," and Director Ragozzino has got ten what he wanted out of the 19 member cast and 12 piece rock-;rnusic band, led by Nathan Cammack. The opening night performance, energetically staged and performed, was not without fault. LCC is fortunate to have a small theatre to enable actors to be he a rd clearly. However, with "Your Own Thing" opening night, the most often heard complaint was "I couldn't hear the actors." With seven microphones on stage and the near nightclub style use of two hand-held mikes, it proved to be a burden for some of the audience to hear the actors over the din of Cammack's Calliope. The electronic organ, played by Nathan Cammack, and the offstage band were as much the stars of the rock-musical as the performers on stage. The band whipped through 17 numbers in high rock-musical style andprovided excellent (and loud) rock accompaniment for the "now" generation on stage. Cammack should have been stage front for a bow after the final scene as well as the performers. The band, however, smothered some of the stage actor's singing and the delivery of lines with the nailloosening rock-music. Alas--the music and stage antics of the "now" generation was the thing, however, in"Your Own Thing.'' Even if some of the Ii n es didn't come a c r o s s the show still went over. The kaleidoscope of lights, colors, rapid-fire lines, and fast on and off stage entrances, and blackouts in several scenes left the audience lost as to what was taking place sometimes. But even with the rock-musical's technical shortcomings, the audience obviously enjoyed the montage of hard rock music psychedelic theatre lighting, and dramatic and comedy antics that can only be described as "uninhibited." John Coombs as Orson, the leader of "The Apocalypse" rock group on stage, turns in an above aver age singing performance. Coomb's voice projected clearly, anq his rendition of "When You' re Young And in Love," a lament on his increasing age and decreasing success with girls, met with immediate audience approval. "When You're Young and In Love'' is delivered quietly and sensitvely, and contrasts dramatically to most of the fifteen other ha rd and semi hard rock tunes by song writters Hal H e st e r and Danny Apolinar. Coombs has studied music in California, sang two years with South Eugene High's choir and has worked with the Madrigal Singers. Jennifer Pack as Viola, the female twin to Sebastian (and key figure in the sexual mixups of the rock-group through disguising herself as a boy to get a job in the all-male rock band,) turns in a rather solid job of acting and manages to car r y her singing roles effortlessly. The show business axiom," it's not the size of the part, but how you play it," bore fruit for "The Apocalypse's" stage manager, played by Steve Harper. Harper's Paul Lyne type portrayal of a willy-nilly fluttering mother image over the affairs of ''his boys" in the band is a comedy high point. As Harper is flutt e ring around the stage admonishing the group to shapeup, the audience closely identifies with Harper's r o I e, and Harper evokes immediate and genuine laughter from the audience. Alan Brandon as Sebastian, the male duplicate of Viola, is the other member of the sexual mixup. Sebastian and Viola are continually being mistaken for each other by the other members of the rock group, until their sexual identities are revealed near the end of the show. Sebastian's lament about his advancing age, "I'm nearly 20,' ' and his vocalization of" The Middle Yea rs" is sensitively and quietly rendered, and makes Brandon a stand-out in the 19 member cast ..• The song is a parody on our .

Eugene's Director of Parks and Recreation commented that: "The three most outstanding efforts were made by Lane Community College, Churchill High School and Cal Young Junior High. Any special recognition should be given to these three schools. Their concentrated efforts were most visible." The letter received from Mayor Lester E. Anderson follows in its entirety: ''It was with a great deal of pleasure that I noted the news reports of the role Lane Community College students played in the recent 'Earth Day' activities. There is little doubt the problem of pollution is now critical. It is encouraging, however, to see student groups exhibiting a concern and taking upon themselves the responsibility of actively attacking the problem. Your student group performed an outstanding community service. The trail building project on Spencer Butte is one I am sure will be greatly appreciated in the approaching s u m me r months. I have enclosed a copy of a memo read to the City Council on April 27 regarding the 'Earth Day' projects. Thank you again for a commendable job. Sincerely, Lester E.

Comments from Lane girls who participated in the Northwest Outward Bound School 1969 pilot girl's course included" ... the greatest experience I've ever had," and "I think all the 'hardships,' combined with the hard work and hikes, build the individual and bring students closer together." The Outward Bound course for girls is not merely a test of physical stamina or technical skills; it is a test of personal inner resources. As the leaders of the program say, "We don't want to make a man out of you and we don't intend to shatter your ego or your body." The experience is designed to help the individual both mentally and physically. The girl's course is not a "watered-down" boy's course; it is a course designed especially for girls with a female oriented program and female instructors. The response to the 1969 course was overwhelming; the en th u siasm was phenomenal. Not one girl "dropped out" for any reason. Several LCC girls were a part of the program. Two girl's courses in Outward Bound are planned for 1970. The courses are open to any girl between 16 and 23 years of age, and will both be based at Foley Ridges Camp in Oregon's Cascade Mountains. Courses will cost $400 each, and r un July I through July 26 and August 3 through .August 28 .

MASS. • Straub speaks at RAP session Students tapped for honorary Twenty-two LCC students have been initiated into Phi Theta Kappa, the national scholastic honorary society for two-year colleges. Students selected for membership in the society must earn a minimum g.p.a. of 3.5 for two consecutive terms, with a total of 24 or more credit hours. Fourteen students from Eugene were selected, including Joyce Abel, Eldon Beers, Janet Bobb, Maryan Dixon, Lois Feist, Steven Fitch, Kristi Gardner, Virginia Anne Geertsen, Carroll Ingram, Kathy Knudson, Ke n n e th Strobeck, Susan Turner, Herbert Wanyanga, and Loren Widders. Barbara Birchard and Robert Hunt of Springfield were also tapped for the honorary. Other students qualifying for membership include Junaita Bachelder, Cottage Grove; Greg Belshaw, Goshen; Robert Carson, Junction City; Joyce Greiner, Fall Creek; Bruce Grimes, Harrisburg; and Gail Waggoner, Lowell. "What we grope toward is the heart and spirit of politics," State Treasurer Robert Straub told an LCC RAP session April 30. Stressing the need for more communication, Straub, Democratic gubernatorial candidate in the May 26 primary election, said he finds an undertone common among young dissidents today. "They seem to believe if they look hard enough they'll find a candidate who is perfect." "No candidate is pei:fect," he said. The job of the voter is to "choose the best candidate, and then the two work together from there." Straub, 49, was elected Lane County Commissioner in 1950 and State Senator in 1959. In 1966 he opposed Tom Mc Call for governor. As State Treasurer since 1964, Straub has charge of state funds and securities. He is a member of the State Board of Control which oversees state institutions and much of the state school land. In citicizing Gov.

To eliminate the state debt she p reposes a state lottery, sim ilar to that sponsored by New Hampshire where the profit has by Doris Ewing. Her name is Gracie - the "Young Democrat" who says her age is between eager and desperate--or over 30 and between 40 and death. G r a c i e Hansen-show queen, night club owner, and Democratic candidate for governor of Oregon. Glittering Gracie -- resplenlace), super-thick eyelashes an extra millimeter longer, and flashing, o v e rs i zed jeweled rings--was about to blow her image. So she told an LCC audience in the LCC cafeteria, Tuesday, April 28, as the strains of "The Stripper" faded into the background. For ten years she's been called naughty and wicked. "Well, I've enjoyed the name, but not the game," she said. Now she admits to a husband and four children, ages 4 to 21. Gracie said her job as night club owner may be in jeopardy due to high taxes, rising costs and the recent increase in the price of liquor. "I've never been rich enough to be a Republican. If I'm going to be out of a job, I might as well go for the top one." Gracie began her political career as precinct committeewoman in Morton, Washington (poman in Morton, Washington (population 1140) where she worked for election of former Governor Rosselini. He won, and she became proprietor of the sole liquor store in Morton. She moved to Seattle after her PTA productions proved to be "too adult for Morton." There she worked as assistant manager for a savings and loan company, prior to her entrance into the big time when she "saved the Seattle World's Fair from science."

"Why not give a tax bonus that could be paid with a smile?" she asked. "After all, everyone likes to take a chance." If she had her way, the resulting profits would not be dedicated to any specific purpose but would be spread over all areas of concern. Gracie would also like to see Oregon acting as landlord with a state-sponsored program similar to the Federal Housing Mministration. Such a program would upgrade the economy and provide more jobs, she said. While enironmental pollution is a problem, she said ''the most deadly and insiduous form is pollution of the mind, and negative thinking." Gracie feels her chances for nomination in the May 26 primary election are good. That is, she says, unless voters want an instant replay of the 1966 election (when Robert Straub and Gov. Tom McCall opposed each other.) Gracie analyzed the constituency of her opponents, Robert Straub and Arthur Pearl, by commenting Straub has the conservatives, Pearl the liberals, and Gracie the swingers. She'll have room in her administration for both Straub and Gov. McCall, Gracie said.

On the subject of field burning, she advocated that the "breathers and makers" of smoke should be on any Legislative committee formulating a field burning bill. Also, '' the cost of pollution should be in the cost of the product," she stated. Opposing Mrs. Fadeley for position #1 is Russel Satler, who also spoke on pollution. "The smell of the pulp mill invades the president's office window as well as the clerk in his shop," stated Satler. Continuing on the pollution problem, Satler stressed the for idea of "what the land can absorb," and opposed state-wide zoning based on social and economic pressure.

The Titans, who snatched 13 first places and 11 runner-up spots, tallied 112 points to the Courgars' 43 and the Bobcats' 24. Titan strongman Doyle Kenady tossed the shot 52'2" and heaved the discus 146'3". Lane's Jim Garrison and Rick Hoxmeier completed a clean sweep in the discus by finishing second and third. Ex-Springfield High graduate Butch Hawthorn grabbed first place in the javelin with a winning toss of 189'2". Titan George Slay's top throw of the afternoon, which sailed 184' 5", was good for a second place finish. The Titan's Dave Wise came up with two first places in the field events. Wise won both the long jump (21' 4 1/4'') and the triple jump (45' 4 1/4"). Lane's Dennise Conley won the high jump and placed second in the triple jump. Lane's pole vault crew added further frustration to the Titan's opponents as they swept that events. Joh Mays won the hundred with a time of ten seconds flat. Stoppel, who placed second in the 100 yard dash, came back and crossed the tape first in the 220 with a 23.3 clocking. In the 440 Titan Al Smith paced the Titan quarter miles with a second place finish. Titan hurdles Jerry Tubbs and Rodney Mooers each recorded second place finishes in their respected events. Tubbs ran the 440 intermediate hurdles in 59.9 seconds while Mooers was timed in 16.6 seconds in the 120 high hurdles. Clackamas' John McGladrey won both high hurdles (16.3) and the low hurdles (57 .o). Lane's distance runners were once again tough.

As tradition has it, new teams aren't supposed to do very well for a few years, especial! y in their maiden season. It just isn't proper. It's really bad when the "youngfolk" show up their elders. A lot of leeway is left for disgust and embarrassment mainly the latter. It is only right, and socially accepted, when the older, more established teams are at the top of the standings, fighting for the I ea g u e championship. The only place left for the "newcomers" is at the bottom of the standings - preferably the basement. With the grueling grind of baseball - the tiresome traveling, and the winding schedule of games, day in-and day out - it's dog eat dog, and has always proven to be the survival of the fittest. Since the fittest usually means the more established ballclubs, it is only fair that an expansion team, such as Lane, will have to suffer for a few years and settle for second division ratings. But Lane, new and all, pulled a fast one, and pulled it early like about the first league game of the season. After a tough spring training, and an encouraging turnout of about 30, head coach Irv Roth picked the 21 best players that he thought would play like a baseball team and, most important, represent Lane Community College in the tough, twelve-team OCCAA.. Flocked in Roth's nest, and under careful tutoring - Dodger style - the Titans boarded their chartered Trail ways way back on April 4 and headed for Portland for their first two league games of the season - a double- Titans win two more The LCC Titans, backed bythe four-hit pitching of Reg Gardner and a sizzling 350 foot triple by Bob Auld, made a doubleheader sweep of division rival SWOCC Saturday afternion, May 2, at Hamlin Field. The two wins kept the undefeated Titans on top of the southern division standings, with a 6-0 record. Lane is 7-3 for the year. In the opener, Reg had the Lakers under control throughout the game, scattering four hits. Two of the hits occurred in the third inning when the Lakers got their only run on two singles and a sacrifice fly. Lane got its winning runs in the fourth inning on a single by Tom Joll, a walk to Rod Laub, a double steal, a hit on an eorror by Kirk Hendricksen, and a lineshot single up the middle by Rob Barnes. In the nightcap, 1e ft y Steve Townsend started on the mound for Lane, but his appearance was held to four innings because of wildness. . After three successful starts this year, Townsend couldn't find the range as he issued nine walks and gave up two runs, making way for righthander Lee Holly. With one out and the bases loaded, Holly got out of the jam as the next two batters hit infield flies. Trailing by one run, the Titans had their big splurge in the fifth, sending nine runners to the plate and scoring six times. Holly led off with a walk, as di d Mike Myers and Bob Foster, loading the bases. Two runs came in on consecutive errored hits by Ken Reffstrup and Rod Laub. Rod Barnes singled, loading the bases again, and after an out and another run on an error of Dan Bain's hit, Bob Auld cleared the bases with his b o o m ing drive to deep centerfield. Sports- Big deal! by Bob Barley Sports is no big deal at Lane. It is big in nearly every city, town, school, or college in the United States. But not at Lane. For most athletic teams, attendance and team support varies with the win-loss percentage of the teams. Not so at Lane. This year Lane has been highly successful in nearly every sport yet the attendance has consistently been poor. The Oregon Ducks get nearly 10,000 people at every one of their home track meets. Lane, on the other hand, doesn't have enough support to necessitate the installing of bleachers around its track. Both squads are equally competitive at their·• own level. Lane has the better team record. Lane's baseball team plays (whenever schedules dOn't conflict) in the same spacious park that the Springfield-Euge11e Emeralds call their home - Civic Stadium. Yet more people turn out for one Emerald game than for all of the Titans' home encounters. Last Fall Lane's soccer team had its greatest season ever. They repeatedly knocked off the top soccer teams in the state while losing only one contest. Yet average home attendance was less than 40. Lane's 1969-70 basketball team finished its season with a very fine 17-7 win-loss record. The average home crowd was a near-equivalent to that of a junior high conflict. This sports year at Lane is quickly coming to an end. Petitions have already been passed around for next year's rally squad. But team support must be more than a rally squad and a winning ballclob, for Lane has na.d the latt~r two but not the ultimate one. . _ . . ... Page 7 header against Clackamas C.C.
