A story which ran on page 10 in the April 6 issue was incorrect. The, by now, nearly infamous story stated that Fred Sackett, LCC baseball coach, had resigned to accept a position at Washington St ate University as assistant football coach and that Marston Morgan, Director of Institutional Planning and Research, would fill Sackett's position. The TORCH extends a sincere a po logy to Fred Sackett and Marston Morgan for any inconvenience caused them by that article. The story was taken from the LCC Daily (which used it as an April Fool's joke) but the disclaimer accompanying the item was missed and the information was not verified, as it should have been. Since it is only powerful enough to be r e c e i v e d inside the immediate campus area, licensing . by the Federal Communications Commission is not required. ''The aim of the project," according to Tom Lichty, faculty adviser to KMPS, "is to give the broadcasting students a feel of commercial radio, which they cannot acquire at LCC's FM station, KLCC, since it is not licensed to sell advertisements." He added that although ads will be "bought and sold" to clients by a sales staff, no money will actually change hands. (Selling of ads will be on a practice basis, primarily to second-year broadcasting students.) Announcers for KMPS are Alan Booth, Gary Greig, Jim McKirdy, Bill Powell, Larry McCabe, Scott Walker, Mike Stanley, John Etheridge, P a u 1 Proctor and John Peterson. KMPS general manager is Bill Powell. ' other key personnel include Larry McCabe, music director; Ken Martin, program director; Paul Proctor, news director; and Jim McKirdy, sales manager.

National honor society initiates 73 new members Seventy-three LCC students were recently initiated into the Sigma Zeta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, national scholastic honor society for community and junior c'olleges.

And for a "tousle-topped" four-year old named Elizabeth there was a great deal of excitement Saturday, April 10, when she won the grand prize of a huge basket full of Easter goodies at LCC's egg hunt. Elizabeth was so enthusiastic she couldn't do anything but scream. In fact, everyone must a been a little excited -- no, one bothered to ask what her last name was.

The presidential race, especially, seems to be being waged in part through rumors and innuendo--both on personal and professional characteristics--toward certain candidates. Accusations about the personal lives of candidates do not belong in a political campaign. The only factors that should be considered are candidates' qualifications or an incumbent's record. And if. accusations in regard to professional conduct are going to be made, they should be made openly so that candidates may be able to answer them. Students hearing rumors or accusations should press for proof. If they do not receive an adequate explanation, they then should either disregard them or find the person the rumors or accusations To the Editor Wednesday, April 21, is election day for student body offices. Polls will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Voting areas will be set up in the cafeteria and, if weather permits, additional voting booths will be set up by the reflecting pond in front of the Admini stration Building and on the sidewalk on the east side of the Forum Building. If it rains, the votmg booth by the renecting pond will be moved to the Gym Foyer across from the Administration Building, and the booth on the east side of the Forum· Building will be placed on the walk-way under the Forum Building eaves. All faculty members are encouraged to ask students to get out and vote for the candidate of their choice. Students are asked to get to know the candidates and their views on all issues that students feel are important, then . are directed at and have him answer them. This is a.n important election for LCC and students should consider what is at stake when they choose a candidate. The S tu de n t Senate has control of over $40,000. The issues undertaken by the Senate, such as the Student Bill of Rights, are of great importance to the LCC community. And the ASLCC President now sits with the Board of Education to make students' views known to Lane's governing body. Because of the responsibility given to student government officials, candidates must be selected on the basis of whether they will best serve This can only be done by student interests. evaluating their past performance, qualifications, and platforms.

(Photo by Hew Lipscomb) LCC awarded NSF grant The National Science Foundation has awarded a $47,100 grant to the University of Oregon and LCC for a one-year joint project aimed at improving college science education. Proiect director will be Bradley Scheer, U of O professor of biology, with John Jacobs, LCC science department chairman, as co-director. The project, scheduled to begin in August, will involve science instructors from two-year and four-year institutions throughout Oregon. They wil'l meet monthly during the school year and for special classes at the University the following summer. The goal of the project, Jacobs said, is to improve college s c i enc e programs and to coordinate science education between the state's two-year and four-year institutions. The LCC Science Department is completing a similar project in chemistry in cooperation with Oregon State Univ~rsity and the Math department has been involved in a joint project in math education with the U of O. Lane was one of four Oregon institutions submitting proposals to the National Science Foundation for grants involving two-year schools and was the only one selected for funding.

The program's office is located by the East entrance of the second floor of the Center Building, in room 234. Torkelson suggested in the event students find the room empty, they leave a message on the chalk board or leave word with Saralee Taylor in the Student Senate Office area. Mrs. Taylor, assistant to Student Activities Director Betty Ekstrom, and Mark Rocchio, head of campus security, are advisers to the People for People program. A proposal has been drawn up by Rocchio to expand the program into the community as an opportunity for students to become active in guidance and tutoring A section of the proposal states: '' The People for People Program at Lane Community College will be a student-run center which will provide students with not only an opportunity for meaningful, constructive student-to-student involvement at LCC, but also within the EugeneSpringfield community. '' Although most of the program will involve student interaction and guidance, partoftheprogram will involve tutoring young people in the public schools as well as coordinating various projects within the community youth • groups and service agencies.'' The proposal further suggests that student members of People for People receive academic credit for their work in the program. It is hoped the expanded program can get under way next fall.

Hence, they tend to question e stab 1is he d credentials which they see as blandishments to entice them to succumb to the system. A~ Lane Community College it is the young and largely noncredentialed Blacks that lead the demand for Black education. Drawing parallels to colonial education, they argue that the white bias in the school system is as inappropriate for Blacks as, say, French education is for Senegalese. Therefore, to precede professional instruction, they propose a rigorous Black Studies course that will have as its purpose the Black viewpoint. What the proponents of the Black Studies program are really saying is that they wish to change the attitudes and values of the students by an intensive course in Black experience--in particular; values such as the white individualism and materialism that might lead a Black doctor, for example, to buy two expensive car s instead of setting up a free clinic in the inner city. Social r esponsibility and self-sac r ifice are stressed instead. Yet, the administr ation responds by putting in only $14,000--$20,000 for the Black Studies program, out of $8.2 million school budget .being considered for 1971-12. Another frustration is the fact that many minority faculty coopt their own people in their efforts. This is due to the fact that these faculty try and conform to the demands of the established institutions. The "uncle toms", tio tacos and the white Indian in m any instances are just as guilty of impeding the efforts of the nonestablished minorities as is the white bureaucracy. f IL . HAM 8 LJ ,.

Page 6 THE TORCH, April 13 Tuition agreement su~fgested by Bill Nelson In this era of rising expenses and talk of increasing student tuition, it is indeed rare to hear someone suggest a program of possible savings to the students. The suggestion was made recently by Dr. EldonSchafer, President of LCC, and concerned Lane and Linn-Benton Community Colleges. Dr. Schafer suggested Lane get in v o 1v e ct in an inter-district agreement with LBCC to allow reciprocal enrollment at in-district rates. • That means that in certain vocational programs, a Lane student could attend the Linn-Benton school for the same tuition· p rice as if he· w·ere attending LCC - and vice versa for a LinnBenton student. Such a situation exists between Chemeketa Community College and LBCC, and the Metropolitan community colleges: Mt. Hood, Clackamas and Portland. J\s Dr. Schafer stated, the only drawback to the inter-district agreement is that Lane has 'Earth Week' set for Apri'I 18-24 A combined of fie ial grand opening of the new BRING (Begin Recycyling in Natural Groups) warehouse and an Ecology Faire will initiate Earth Week next Saturday and Sunday. Earth Week itself is scheduled from April 18 through 24. The activities will begi~ at 1:00 p.m. Saturday when BRING President Nancy Hayward officially opens the group's new warehouse at 340 WashingtonSt., Eugene. The warehouse is currently accepting cast-off glass of all types exept window glass, as well as aluminum in any form. BRING workers would prefer that the materials brought be cleaned, and that the glass bP divided into c 1e a r, amber and green groups. At 1:30 Satruday, a kite dedesign contest will take place, with special attention being paid to those kites which best depict an ecology theme. At 2:00 p.m. there will be a kite-flying contest. Prizes will be awarded in both cases. Prizes will also be offered in a "treasures from trash" contest. Awards will go to those who have made the most remarkable and unusual items from ordinary trash. Those wishing to enter the contest may do so between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Saturday, and the winners will be announced at 3:00. An Ecology Faire will be held at the warehouse on both days. Co-sponsored by BRING and the University of Oregon Survival Center, the Ecology Faire will include booths from a number of ecology-related organizations. Set-up time for the booths is from l0:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. The regular hon rs at the warejouse will be 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday. LCC magazine seeks art work : The Concrete St ate me nt, LCC's literary-arts magazine, is in need of several types of art work. For further informatfon on the magazine, contact: Don Johnson in the Print Shop, ext. 351; Terry Conrad in the Art and Applied Design Department, ext. 307; or Marilyn Waniek in the Language Arts Departfnent, 'ext. 249. no open vocational courses to offer LBCC students; therefore, there is no officiial agreement at . this time. If LCC and LBCC could negotiate an inter-district agreement, the two schools, along with the students involved, could bene- fit. Both money and space could be s ave d by centralizing a specialized vocational course at either Lane or Linn-Benton. A few of the open courses LBCC has to offer at the present time are: Farm Supply, Seed Technology, Environmental Control Technology, and Water and Waste. Dr. Schafer stated there is no official agreement between the two schools, but if a Lane student should wish to take one of the LBCC programs offered, an individual agreement might be made by talking with administrators of both .institutions.1 Future plans for the interdistrict arrangement depend on how much space LCC will have to offe ,r in their vocational courses next school year. Score tied 2-2 on comm. college budgets Two Oregon community college budgets have been approved thus far this year, and two defeated. Budgets for Umpqua Community College in Roseburg and Blue Mt. Community College in Pendleton were approved by voters. Voters in the Chemeketa Community Co 11 e g e district rejected a proposal to increase the tax levey by 6 cents per $1,000 true cash value. The total budget was approximately $3.5 million, with a $1. 7 million tax levy. Only 12% of the 94,000 registered voters in the district • tion of the Clackamas campus. The large budget increase was proposed to meet an expected 48 per cent increase in enrollment, according to college officials. Clackamas does not have an established tax base, and must seek voter approval for the entire local share of its $4.5 million budget. Sales & S.rvic• 1601 w.

This a fact widely known among the county's physicians, teachers and community officials. But there is no panic. In fact, it is business as usual in doctor's offices, White Bird Clinic and the Lane County Health Dept. These good people continue to do their jobs day in and day out. Many of them do their best to spread the word and inform the public. The problem is that either the public has not heard properly or the public does not care. If the epidemic was polio or smallpo~ or even measles, no doubt there would. be a run on every private medical office and facility in the county. No doubt, people ould line up and wa-it for hou s to be immunized. Committees would be formed to find the source and the best w a y to protect the com munity. And in some giant, spontaneous, co1mtywide master plan, professionals and laymen would enjoin t<> 0vercome the dangerous plague quickly and in goodorder. The public health would prevail. The epidemic in Lane County is gonorrhea-a venereal disease and not very respectable - sometimes known as "clap" "dose.'' "drip'' or "GC" short for gonococcus, the name of the bacteria that causes the disease. Nobody is too excited about this gonorrhea epidemic and the public health officials all over the country have their theories but most admit they are at a loss to explain the public's apathy. Gonorrhea is not a minor, inconsequential disease. If u n treated, it can cause sterility, he art disease, arthritis and blindness. A c c o rd i n g to Lane County Health Educator Art Berwick, reported cases of gonorrhea increased 1014 per cent between 1959 and 1969 (see chart). In 1955, only seven cases were reported. By 1959, there were 56 reported cases and the State -Board of Health year-end figures for 1970 showed 810 in Lane County. What 'is more chilling is the fact that the actual incidence of gonorrhea is 3.36 times the number of report e d cases. Which means, accoridng to Berwick, that Lane County probably had more like 2,700 cases of gonorrhea in 1970. Dr. David Ruppert. newlv .::ipp oi n t ed county health officer, confirmed what the U.S.Public Health Service is reporting, that ' 'gonorrhea is the number one communicable disease requiring thearpy" in Lane County and the country. Dr. Ruppert explained that influenza actually tops the communicable disease list but most of the current literature classifies gonorrhea as the most pre v a I en t disease, "requiring specific antibiotic therapy." The American Social Health Assn. recently declared that venereal disease incidence in the U.S. had reached pandemic proportions. The U.S. Surgeon General, General Jesse Steinfeld, MD, reports that "gonorrhea is out of control" and syphillis is the fourth among reportable comcommunicable dises in the U.S. Steinfeld estimated the incidence of syphilis in the U.S. is 70,000 to HU,UOO cases and that gonorrhea is in excess of 1.7 million.

Physic a I exam policy changed for Fall Term Beginning Fall Term of 1971, LCC students will be dealing with flexible physical examination reruirements as a result of March 10 Board of Education decision. Acting on a recommendation by LCC President Eldon Schafer, the Board moved to revise its present policy of requiring physical examinations of all fulltime and certain part-time students. The new policy requires any . student enrolling at LCC to fill out a self-reporting form as a part of his entrance requirements. This form will report any chronic physical condition and indicate the person to call in case of a medical emergency. Each student will also be required to show proof of freedom from active tuberculosis.

The serious job hunter, who knows the field he wants and who in these recessed times may have lots of time on his hands, may experience disappointment if he expects OTIS to find him work.While OTIS can, in a few cases, line up interviews with people with more information (not necessarily employers), it can't tell who's hiring.

LCC Business Manager Bill Watkins noted that passage of the bill will be necessary to avert a budget deficit, despite college spending cutbacks undertaken last month. Overly optimistic expectations of federal revenue and an increase in fixed charges attendent to the payroll have created a potential deficit for Lane of over $200,000. The proposed bill would give LCC $68,000 to reimburse costs due to overenrollment. Lane exceeded its predicted enrollment of 4,865 FTE (full-time equivalent) by over 750 FTE. FTE is measured as one unitper 10 hours of instruction provided by the institution. LCC's expenditures have already been frozen in the areas of capital and travel. No further cutbacks are planned at this time. The LCC Board of Education decided March 16 to make these cutbacks rather than limit student enrollment this term. Watkins noted that these cutbacks will not affect students or student services. by Mark· "I hear you've had experience with . sonic-booms," said Alphonso. "A little," I said modestly. "How. did you get it?" asked Alphonso. "Easy:,'' I said. "We lived under the flight path of supersonic planes, and there was hardly a day passed we weren't shaken." "It was bad, huh," said Al•• phonso. "Bad,'' I said. "Let me tell you. One quiet afternoon I was lying on the couch taking my siesta when a flight went over. Sound waves crashed against the house and rattled the window weights." ON THE LINE «1,td, Rod Laub is quiet, confident, and very important to the Titan baseball team. In fact it's his confidence in himself that is probably his big-· gest asset to a baseball team, and Rod candidly admits that "I can come through. under pressure." Rod should know. He's had sever a I pressure-packed moments while wearing a baseball uniform. A take-charge type of player in his own way, Rod has been ·a leader on just about every team he has played for. Unlike Johnny Bench, who isn't afraid to tell anyone that he is the leader of Cincinnati's big red machine, Rod is the quiet type-a silent leader on the Titan baseball team. He doesn't have Bench's boyish looks or his boastful confidence. but after that they have several things in common. Like Bench, Rod's main position is catching, and he doesn't hesitate to say that it's his favorite position. Being able to play the outfield and third base almost as well as he can catch strengthens his value to the Titans, as coach Fred Sackett can periodically allow him to rest his catching legs but keep his powerful bat in the lineup. After a very impressive high school career at North Eugene, Rod hit .365 last year at Lane in his· first collegiate season. Along with his high average he led the young Titans in home runs, slugging four in twenty games. Two of his home runs won games for the Titans, leading the team to the Southern Division championship of the Oregon Community Co 11 e g e Athletic Association (OCCAA) and a spot in the state tournament. Tournaments are nothing new to Rod, and he was about the only Titan who didn't get the tournament jitters. While most of the Titans could do little right in the three tourney games they played (winning one out of three, for third place), Rod split his catching duties playing left and right field also and hit well enough to be named to the All-Tournament team. All last s ea son the Titans ripped apart every I ea g u e opponent they met. And when the tourney started the bats went silent, e v e r y b o d y was making errors, and there were too many mental mistakes. Signs of Rod's baseball prominence really started to form as a sophomore at North Eugene when he became the only rookie to make the varsity squad--a team that finished second in the state tournament. He got a lot of experience that year and learned a lot. When he came back for his junior year, Rod was all set as the number one catcher, and it was then that his leadership ability z:,~ ';il4IUUluJ started setting in. With a lot of new, but good, players in the lineup, it was Rod whom they looked to in And more clutch situations. often than not, he came through. The more Rod came through for his teammates in those clutch situations, the more confidence he got in himself. After finishing second in the state as a sophomore, Rod and his "new" teammates lost a p 1a yo ff game against Marshfield for a tournament spot their junior year. The school season ended on a ;:; u cc es sf u 1, but disappointing, note, but the Highlanders had summer ball to look forward to. Little did they know that they would end up in the high school World Series in August. North Eugene swept through the league that summer, and headed north to Portland for the state For most of the tournament. players, it was their first tournament appearance. For Rod, it was his second. The Highlanders lost their first game, and with their backs to the wall they came roaring back to win four in a row--and the state championship. The following week North won the western regional tournament and got an August ticket to the high s Ch O O 1 World Series in At bat he led his team in hitting, collecting two doubles and three sing 1es in twelve trips--a .416 average! When talking about excitement, Rod quickly said that "the world series trip to New Mexico is my biggest baseball thrill. The 14inning loss to Cincinnati has also been my biggest disappointment. We really wanted to win." Rod finished out his high school career by leading his team to another state championship and a runnerup position in the regional tournament at Seattle, Wash. So far, Rod Laub has never had a bad baseball year. With the confidence he has in himself, he probably never will. Last summer he led his semipro team with a .385 average, his best ever, and second place in the state tournament, throwing out several runners and hitting two home runs in the event. Although he hasn't talked to any pro scouts yet, this may be Only in his second the year. season of college baseball, he's hitting .400 with a home run, triple, and two singles in ten at-bats. Farmington, New Mexico. Rod got several clutch hits in the state and regional !ournaments, and the World Series was a supreme test for him to find out just how good a pressure player he really is. The surprising Highlanders, led by their catcher, won their first two games to put the m in the semi-finals. Their sudden success came to a halt in a 14-inningheartbreaker with Cincinnati, the eventual national champions. With Cincythrowingtheirnumber one pi tc he r--the tournament's most outstanding one-it was a surpr_isetheHigh_lan_ders forced them mto extra mnmgs. North had a chance to win the game when Rod smashedadouble in the twelfth inning, but he was left stranded as Cincinnati got out of the game and went on to win. Playing against the nation's best teams, Rod felt what pressure is really like. "The pressure was on all the time," he said. "There were major league scouts from every team sitting right behind home plate taking notes and timing us when we ran. Every time a player made a move he was being watched by the scouts." The scouts didn't bother Rod too much as he led his teammates to fourth place in the national tournament. While he didn't steal any bases, Rod showed his throwing arm as he threw out two runners trying to swipe second, and cut off a co~ple of runs at the plate. I I I I I J I I I I I I I II , 1 • '"..

The Titans captured five first places, ten seconds, eight thirds, five fourths, two fifth places and four sixth spots to account for their remarkable 209 points. The closest team to the Lane squad was the University of Oregon j.v.' s with a distant 122 points. Following Oregon were Ump- qua Community College with 79 points, Central Oregon Community College with 49, the Oregon Track Club with 34, Clatsop Community College with 8, and Chemeketa Community College with 4 points. Because of the size of the meet, the 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 scoring system was used. That system allows 10 points for first place, 8 for second, 6 for third, 4 for fourth, 2 for fifth and 1 point for sixth place. This scoring method allows nearly everyone running in an event to score some points for his team. The system differs from that usually used, which allows only the first four to cross the line to earn points. Lane's John Mays captured the 100-yard dash with a 9. 7 sprint. He also anchored the 440 relay team, which won with a time of 44.3. Mays' third accomplishment for the day was a second place in the 220 with a clocking of 22.1. After the 100-yard dash, Mays was heard to say he was disappointed with his time . He had reason to complain. He had two clocks on his first place--one read 10 seconds flat and the other, which was unofficial , read 9.6. Since the official clock was obviously wrong, the judges compromised and gave him a tenth of a second better time · than the second place man, Steve McArthur from the Oregon J. V.'s. Mays finished close to three yards ahead of McArthur, and would have had better time had an accurate clock been used. Kenn Nickell of the Titans placed second in the 440 dash, but in doing so broke the school record of 50.8 with a time of 50.4. other LCC first places went to Tom Martin in the 120-yd. high hurdles, timed at 15.5; George Slay in the javelin, with a toss of 204'7"; and Darris Smith in the long jump, with a leap of 21'6". Second places were recorded by Tim Bishop in the 120- yd. high hurdles; Tom Cooley, high jump; Tim Bishop, 440 intermediate hurdles; Mike Turner, j ave Ii n; Gaylon L it t I e john, Pluckett, Dan Van Camp and Nickell, mile relay; Rick Haxmier, discus; Tim Bishop, long jump; and Tim Bishop, triple jump. Third places for Lane came with efforts from Dennis Hilliard, mile run; George Slay, shot put; Kent Larson, 100-yd dash; Lynn Henkle, high jump; Dennis Hilliard, 2°-mile run; Ray Shaptaw, pole vault; and George Slay, discus. Page 11 Fourth places went to Darris Smith, 100-yd dash; Larry Isley, 880; Jerry Rice, 220 dash; Ray Lipsit, pole vault; and Jerry Rice, long jump. Darris Smith took fifth in the t rip I e jump and Buddy Wright captured fifth in the 120 high hurdles. Pulling down sixth places were Gaylon Littlejohn, mile run; Rick Haxmier, shot put; Steve Benorthia, 880; and Bruce Davison, mile run. Coach Al Tarpenning' s track squad moves north this weekend to defend its Mt. Hood Relays Championship. Lane will compete against ten other teams at the meet. Host team Mt. Hood is given the best chance to upset the highly favored Titans. The events for the meet will include a 2-mile relay, 4-mile relay, I-mile relay, 440 and 880 relays.
