Great Teacher chosen
After five days of meetings
and deliberation, the Great Teacher Selection Committee chose
Paul Patrick of the Mechanics
Department as the 1970 LCC
Great Teacher. 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.

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

The Rev. Channing E. Phillips,
the first negro to be nominated
for president of the U.S., will
deliver a public speech at LCC

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.

'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 Mayor Anderson
commends LCC Earth Day efforts
The following comments concerning LCC's Earth Day activities were received by Warren Coverdell, ASB President,
Monday, May 4.
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. Anderson

Budget campaign
~Ions projects
to inform public
Getting information about LCC
to the public is the main project
of the May 26 Budget Campaign.
As a part of that campaign, a
film entitled A COLLEGE THAT

Those students chosen were:
Duane Hogue, Air Frame; Mona
Gerg, Psychology; Lois Feist,
History; Ted Napier, Civil Engineering; Orval Baker, Auto
Body; Margie Swisher, Nursing;
Kathy Koch, Clerical Assistants;
and Jay Montgomery, Business.
The film will be shown some
time this month on both local
TV stations, and will be available to other groups requesting
it.
other campaign projects include a Vocational Fair to be
held at Valley River Center May
22 and 23. The Fair will give
the var i _9 u s LCC departments a
chance to show the public what
they are accomplishing. KLCCFM is currently broadcasting

Transfer study reveals
high GPA average

More than three-fourths of
LCC's Winter Term full-time
college transfer students had high
school grade point averages high
enough to gain them admittance
to the University of Oregon. That
finding, which contradicts the
assumption that many students
enroll at LCC because they are
unable to gain admission elsewhere, was turned up by Registrar Bob Marshall in a study of
high school transcripts.
He found that only 409 , or

30.33 percent, had gpa's below
2.50. A survey of transcripts
above 2. 50 is still to be completed. Marshall found that 850
or 59.03 percent, of the 1,440 fulltime vocational-technical students had high school gpa's below
2.25. A total of 1,125, or 89
percent, of the voe-tech students
had gpa's below 2.50. In total,

include deletion of references to
secondary and elementary school
experience and participation,

''community experience andparticipation," "family man with

The Board also agreed to place
less emphasis on a candidate's
having a Ph.D. degree, community college experience, and experience in educational adminis-

tration as opposed to general
administration.
Also discussed by the Board
was having candidates respond
in writing to the criteria set
by the Board and to a series of
open-ended questions designed to
bring out their philosophical positions on the role of community
colleges, minority groups relations, adult education, and national social problems.
The Board reviewed at its
April 28 meeting a list of 20
potential candidates and agreed
to seek applications from most
of them.
These applications
will be referred to the screening
committee, which may suggest
additional candidates.

summer courses for girls

Girls in Outward Bound? Why
not? 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 .

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.

Glittering Gracie -- resplenlace), super-thick eyelashes an

of "The Stripper" faded into
the background.
For ten years she's been called naughty and wicked. "Well,

amounted to over $6,000,000.
"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. "Of
course I'll find a place for them
when they tell me where their
talents lie."

Track team leads meet

Coach Al Tarpenning's powerful track squad ran away from
Clackamas and Central Oregon
community colleges last Saturday, May 2, in a triangular meet
held in Bend. 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. Don Norton and

by Dave Harding
The LCC Titans is a new
baseball team competing in a
tough league--the Oregon Community College Athletic Association.
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. . _
