Red Fox explains position
New-ly appointed ASLCC'
Treasurer, David Red Fox, in,
an interview fast week commented on what he considers the
three major problem areas in his
new position.
Red Fox, a sophomore majoring in political science, ran for
ASLCC Treasurer last spring.
He speculated that his previous
candidacy was the reason he was
appointed by the Student Senate
to fill the vacancy left by the
resignation of Cherrie McMurray.

Red Fox: 29, who plans to
transfer to the U ofOtocomplete
his political science degree, added that his second task will be
to upgrade the position of
treasurer "to make it an elite
office."
Lastly he revealed that he plans
to publish a full financial state-

ment in the TORCH in the near
future. "I consider this my most
important responsibility: keeping
the student government and the
students abreast of the financial
situation," he concluded.
Red Fox lists his office hours
as 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., Monday
through Thursday.

The new treasurer pointed out
that his job, as detailed in the
constitution, will consist of keeping track of the expenditures of
the student government.
''My first major problem is
that there has been no previous
standard accounting system. I
intend to correct this by updating the fiscal policy governing
this position," he explained.

Third World
students form
new coaliation
by William N. Powell
Recently a few students and
staff of the Third World, e.g.
Black, Chicano, Native
American and Oriental people,
have proposed formulating a
campus coalition in order to
promote and provide social,
educational, cultural and economic activities and programs for
present and future Third World
students of Lane Comm unity ·
College.
The "Third World" concept
refers to the overall philosophical, historical, and political
frame of reference in which ethnic studies are being developed.
WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) educational institutions
traditionally have emphasized
their Judea-Christian, GrecoRom an, and European genealogy, biologically as well as
culturally.
The objectives of such a
coalition are: 1) to encourage
and assist in the establishment
of supportive services for Third
World students (tutoring, counseling, financial aids). 2) To
encourage and assist in the recruitment of Third World students and staff at LCC. 3) To
assist in the development of
c o u r s e s dealing w it h Third
World people. 4) To suggest
and encourage. the creation
of more courses in the Ethnic Studies Program. 5) To
take a vocal stand against all
oppressive and racist activities, be they local, national or
international.
There will be a meeting at
4:00 p.m., Tuesday, Nov.9 for
a 11 Third W o r 1d People in
Forum 309. This meeting will
be for the purpose of electing
officers, and planning activities
for this coming year. All Third
World People are expected to
attend.

who offer to sponsor cour~es believe they have found soljlething
important that makes life more

to augment that meaningbypropogating the information or
examining the meaning they have
discovered by subjecting their
view to the criticism ~of others.
Commentingon -~piture of
LCFS, Wooten is optintistic: "A
lot of things are possible." He
is always interested in more sub- jects and wants to meet with possible instructors to talk over
ideas. He would like to see more
classes dealing with welding,
crafts, and practical research on
social problems and urban planning.
LCFS bas taken a large step
in social problems with the publishing of its different and unusual catalog.
It provides a
comprehensive listing of services
available to people seeking help
in areas such as counseling, we~fare programs, lodging, and dropin centers. Fifteen pages are devoted to informantion concerning
just about every service, shop,
institution and program available
in the local area.
LCFS is interested in people.

perhaps a better understanding of

In whose interests does the government act?

Cannikin, the underground test of a nearfive megaton nuclear warhead by the United
States, apparently went off without a hitch Saturday, contrary to fears of environmentalist
groups and many people who voiced concern for
world safety in an effort to halt the test.
That the nuclear blast produced no immediate damaging after-effects is a relief. But
it in no way excuses the fact that the test was
held on schedule despite loud disapproval voiced
by the American public. That action is an outrage to the concept of a government representative of the people.
The nuclear device, approximately 250 times
more powerful than the atomic bomb which leveled more than 60 per cent of Hiroshima in
1945, was detonated some 6000 feet below ground
level in a test that Atomic . Energy Commission
officials say proved the nuclear warhead would
be workable on a Spartan Antiballistic Missile.
The AEC says the warhead can now be lofted
above the earth's atmosphere by the Spartan
ABM to produce "a curtain of radiation through
which enemy ICBMs would have to pass". The
radiation, according to the AEC, would cause
atomic structural changes in the missile's
electrical components and render them useless.
The test, which many feared would produce
earthquakes, tidal waves or damaging radiation
leaks, showed no signs of producing any undesirable after-effects at all, except perhaps that
the Spartan can now be introduced into the
nation's already bristling inventory of weapons.
However, the precautionary tidal wave alert,
issued an hour before the test, lends credence
to the fears of many that something could conceivably have gone wrong. One miscalculation,
one minor error when dealing with an explosive
power equal to approximately five million tons
of TNT, could have serious consequences of which
the American people should have been informed
by the government, and given ample opportunity
to consider.
Such was not the case, however.

The first roadblock to delaying the test came
when Congress expressly delegated to President
Nixon the decision of whether to detonate the
bomb.
The second came just hours before the explosion when the Supreme Court voted 4-3 not
to delay the test.
Justices William J. Brennan, Jr., Thurgood
Marshall and William O. Douglas wanted to delay
the blast so the Court could consider the merits
of the opponents' arguments, noting that the case
presented '' a substantial question as to the
legality of the proposed test."
They were outvoted, 'however, by Chief Justice
Warren E. Burger, and Justices Potter Stewart,
Harry A. Blackmun, and Bryon R. White. They
issued their order denying a delay without
comment.
That national security could be injured by a
delay in the test, as argued by Solicitor General
Erwin N. Griswold in his presentation to the
Supreme Court, is absurd. If United States
security is in such a precarious position as to be
injured by a short delay in a test that the
American people may not even want, why conduct
the test at all? Why not attach the warhead to
the Spartan missile and hope for the best? It
makes about as much sense.
When Congress expressly delegated to
President Nixon the decision of whether to detonate
the bomb, that was an injustice to the American
people. A national emergency did not exist.
When President Nixon fajled to respond to the
pleas of the American people, that was an
injustice.
When a majority of the Supreme Court denied
a delay of the test without comment, that was
a slap in the face to every person who believes
in justice.
Such action by all three branches of the
government poses one burning question that affects
us all:
For whom is the United States Government
acting?

Business office withholds checks
A situation exists currently in the Business
Office which is very close to intolerable.
Presently, students receive their loan checks
through the Business Office. That is, if a student
obtains a loan from some commercial source,
such as a bank or loan company, he must go
to the Business Office to receive his money.
Once the Business Office is in possession of
the checks, it refuses to release them to the
person whose name appears on the check unless
that person agrees to pay whatever he owes the

college, on the spot.
The powers that be have two explanations
for this policy: first, they say that many people
have taken the money and left school without
paying tuition, or other fees and second, since
part of the money has been budgeted for payment
of tuition, they have the right to receive payment before releasing the checks.
It's not too difficult to see through this sort
of reasoning.
In saying that the college must protect itself
from these losses by collecting the money before releasing the check, the administrators
are in effect saying it is impossible to trust
anyone who borrows money to go to school.
They are, by utilizing this procedure, and by
using the rationale of past financial losses, mak.:.
ing the procedure a punitive action aimed at
people who are guilty of nothing.
The second reason, that the money is to
cover tuition anyway, is linked to the first.
(In order to receive a loan, a student must
submit a budget of his expenses, only about 30% -

of which is for tuition). However, if one were
to follow the Business Office's line of reasoning,
one would reach the conclusion that since the
check is also to cover rent, food, etc., the
Business Office should send whatever money is
left when they are finished to the student's landlord, who would send what he doesn't take to
the grocery store, etc.
Added to the other things wrong with the
situation is the questionable legality of the
practice.
The checks in question are made out only
to the student who has been granted the loan.
The student who is to receive the check has
already signed a promissory note agreeing to repay the loan at a rate of 7% interest; this is
no small matter. He is legally accountable for
the money, and should not be subjected to such
harassment.
Acting on this information, it looks as though
the Business Office has no right to hold the
checks.
It would appear as though this procedure is
merely an exercise of power on the part of the
administrators in control. They, apparently, are
making an arbitrary stand which they have no
real right to make. They are, apparently, getting away with it simply because the people to
whom they are doing this don't know any better.
If the administration really has no legal basis
for this practice, then the entire situation is
blatant misuse of power. The idea of sending
checks to the school is questionable. Allowing
the Business Office to get away with such tactics is unthinkable.

Rotten egg

survey?

To the Editor:
In the Oct. 26 TORCH, Jack
Hart stated that he had inter••
viewed Mr, Ames, manager of
Food Services on the price of
eggs. It was not my impression
that he was conducting an interview for publication in the
school paper. That being made
clear, the least we could do would
be to define my understanding of
what took place during this interview.
I was under the impr":!ssion that
Mr. Hart was interested in the
operational proceedings of Food
Service and not simply acting
as a self-appointed price regulator. I gave valuable time to explain how pricing wo_rks. Less
expensive items ~ompared to the
more expensive and how one
offsets the other. From this, he
seemed only to deduce that our
pricing system was only to support training programs. He made
no mention of the fact that Baron
of Beef currently costs us in
cooked form, $1.35 a pound and
we in turn sell it for .65 for 4
to 6 ounces. Yogurt, which he
mentioned costs .25, which we •
sell for .30. Milk, a high-sales
product, costs .09 per 8 ounce
glass and we charge .10. These
figures do not include cost of
labor, only the cost of the item
itself. There are many other
items served in all three areas
which Mr. Hart seems to have
overlooked. It w o u 1d be appreciated if I am going to be quoted
that that that quote should be
both accurate and kept in context.

to the Editor" and are not assigned as coverage by the TORCH
staff.)

To the Editor:
I would like to reply to
the article b:,, Jack Hart on eggs.
In his opening paragraph, he stated that '' so doing some quick
calculations." I think this statement is the whole key to his
rambling on hard-boiled eggs. If
he had taken as much time calculating as he must have interviewing one hundred people, he
could have come up with a truer
price and probably would not have
printed this rediculous article in
the first place.
I do agree the wholesale price
of eggs is 36 cents a dozen. Additional costs need to be figured
in with this, however. All the
personnel in the Food Service
area are not students, thank goodness. In addition to the head cooks
in each department, there are
supervisory personnel, a secretary, dish washers, waitresses,
sanitation workers (janitors),
security guards, electrical repairmen and others that all receive wages.
When the eggs walk in the back
door at 36 cents, they have to
be refrigerated. Refrigeration
does not operate for nothing;
those compressors take a lot of
electricity. Eggs are cooked on
a gas stove; this also adds to
the cost.
Then cold water is
run over them to cool them and
make the eggs easier to peel.

Amchitka, athletic funding, President's concern
by Omar Barbarossa
ASLCC President
In keeping with my stated promise to inform, on a weekly basis, the student body about
what's ha~pening on your campus, I am making
the followmg report to the students.
One of the real topics of concern on our
campus this week was the issue of· whether we
should take a stand in favor of, or in opposition
to, the proposed Amchitka nuclear test scheduled
for this past Saturday at 2:00 p.m. As of this
writing, we do not know whether the planned
blas_t has transpired. Nevertheless, it is my
feeling that the American people should voice
their viewpoint on a question that is of such
paramount importance both to our environment
and to the physical repercussions that would
eminate from this "experiment." There were
some members of the Student Senate, although
they were a minute minority, who felt that
we should not engage in, or take an official
• stand on, this situation. I disagree. I am amazed
that, all too often, we immerse and deceive ourselves into thinking that we can have no view
or effect on the course of events which take
place in our country. Whether you are for somethin_g. or against it, it is your responsibility as
a citizen to make your viewpoint known. I personally do not condone and have called for a condemnation of the Amchitka test. There were ·
many petitions circulated and donations were
taken to send telegrams to the President of the
United States, to the Atomic Energy Commission, and to Senator Clinton P. Anderson. It
is unfortunate that we cry about the fact that
change comes too slowly or that the "establishment" does not respond to what youth is
saying. If student government is to function in
a capacity of leadership, then student government should not be intimidated or even be timid
about asserting itself in this capacity. It takes
courage to take a stand ~n a controversial
issue; but then, there really is no other alternative.
Slogans about peace, love, and "right-on" simply
are not enough to get the job done.
I am going to call for a ballot measure to be
introduced in the Fall Elections that will give
the students a chance to voice either their endorsement of, or non-support through student
body fees of, the athletic program here at LCC.
There has been much questioning and criticism
about the fact that we have allotted $17,000 to
athletics, which supports a small segment of
the student population; while, on the other hand, we

have given only $500 to our Student Awareness
Center, which tries to meet the needs and services of all of the students on this campus.
People have asked where our head's at; or, in
other words, what are our priorities. This is a
valid question; so, through the ballot, you, the
students, will be able to vote "yes" or "no"
for athletics.
Another issue which I will put to the ballot is
the question of whether we should utilize stu-

Mayor Anderson of the City of Eugene stated to me that he felt one of the ways student
governments can communicate with city government is by having representation from the student
body at th~ City Council meetings. I have, therefore, appomted Mel Wood, student publicity director, and Jay Bolton, second vice-president,
to serve as official representatives, on an alternating basis, to the City of Eugene council
meetings-with the stipulation that they make

up a table in the cafeteria area
for enrollment of more student
members . An OSPIRG representative will answer questions
and accept contributions to carry
on state-wide campaigns and research.
Later this month four to five
students will be sought to run
for local OSPIRG board positions. Members will run during
regular school student government elections, and petitions will
be available for those students
wishing to run.
OSPIRG's office is located in
Center 234, across from the
LCC library. Students are encouraged to visit with representatives and ask questions.

The above criticism has been
heard from time to time by students, Student Senators and
others critical of Lane's "student apathy." Apathy has also
been symptomatic of a school
group calling themselves Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group.
OSPIRG-a coalition of students from Oregon's two and
four-year schools who are concerned with pollution, environmental abuse, and such things
as consumer fraud-has grown

Until recently, LCC-OSPIRG
had been decaying. The problem
had been singular-apathy.
This school term, though has
seen some change from th i s
apathy to a healthy activity in
OSPIRG's new office.
At its meeting Nov. 3, and at
two previous meetings in October, nearly a dozen students
came to pledge their help and
the continuation of OSPIRG at
Lane. But more hands and bodies are needed, according to
Cheryl Burgess, local coordinator.

the Student Government is going

that article. Since when does the
Senate use student funds to do
things that '' can't be done in

of business activities, directly
pertaining to the welfare of LCC
students, couldn't be taken care
of in a meeting, free of charge.
It seems
that wasting four
hundred more dollars on coffee,
milk, and donuts is no way to
pacify Lane students about misuse of their funds. Does the
LCC Student Government think
that coffee and donuts and Senators Relaxation Retreats are the
most beneficial investments for
LCC student funds?

Dollars and Sense
t

by Paul Nathan

Man on the Street: Most economists and politicans agree full employment is an admirable
national goal. Is there anything that can be
done to achieve this goal?
Economist: Let me ask you a question first.
Why is full employment a worthy national goal?
--·

-

•

Man on the Street: Because if you have full
employment you have prosperity.
Economist: If that were true, you could bet
that most governments would have already legislated prosperity into existence, - - not that they
haven't tried. Russia, China, Cuba and a host
of totalitarian and socialist countries claim to
have full employment. Chaingangs, prisons, and
natives in the jungle are fully employed. Yet
prosperity is conspicuously absent in all these
examples.
The easiest goal to attain is full employment,
if it's considered as an end in itself.

With the support of its citizens a country
could always institutionalize massive full employment progrms. Only one problem - - programs
of this kind have all been tried before and have
never worked.
If it were possible to create prosperity by
law, the totalitarian nations would be the most
prosperous nations of all, Siberia would be the
production capital of the world, and science of
economics could content itself with the investi.gation of the operating principles of chaingangs
and prisons where unemployment is non-existent.
The fact is, most popular "solutions" to
economic problems usually consist of only dealing with the effects of those problems rather
than identifying their causes. The popular theory,
"When you have full employment, you have prosperity," is backwards. It should be reversed
to read, "When you have prosperity, you have
full employment." It is this kind of theoretical
error that can destroy a country, especially if
practiced by a government on a large scale.
The cause of prosperity is not employment it
is PRODUCTION. Employment is simply a biproduct of production.
M.O.S: What distinction is made between production and employment?
Economist: Production is the creation of ·,
goods capable of satisfying human needs and
subsequent desires. This definition presupposes
that WHAT IS PRODUCED be determined by what
individuals believe will further their life and
happiness, and that it has the capacit~, to fulfill
that function.
The cause of production is MAN'S INTELLIGENCE and his ability to transform his thoughts
into material goods to further his life. EMPLOY MENT is merely the means to this end.
To best understand the distinction, look at
what is necessary for the economic prosperity
of just one man alone on a desert island.If the man is to live, he must produce the goods
necessary for his survival. Production of goods
is the object. The method to attain this production is the work required to achieve that objective. His standard of living will rise to the

Nov. 9

TORCH

MAC accepts CC degrees

degree that he produces the goods which are
essential, useful, and satisfying to him.
But suppose somewhere he once heard that
full employment leads to prosperity, and went
around digging ditches. It would not matter how
long or how hard he worked, he could not increase his standard of living.
On the contrary he would be much worse
off. He would have to admit that full employment without production will not add to his
well being. He would have to admit this or he
would die.
Prosperous economies can die of the same
unnatural causes. The proper method of a.:.
chieving prosperity for a nation of men is no
different from that of one man. The method is
to maximize production.
The mere fact that people are working does
not guarantee increased production and prosperity. You can have full employment without
full production, but you can't have full production
without considerable employment.
Again, employment is a by-product of production. Any attempt to reverse this natural
order will reverse any trend of prosperity.
M.O.S.: But isn't it the intention of those
who advocate full employment to try to provide jobs that are productive?
Econ.: Isn't it ESSENTIAL for every employer to provide jobs that are productive?
An employer doesn't need a politician to urge
him to increase his production. If there is any
possible way to expand his business, he will
find it. Remember, he's in the business of producing.
There is a big difference in the motives
of most politicians and economists who want
to increase employment and those of the employers. Today's policy makers believe in employment for employment's sake. Production,
they think, will be a by-product of employment.
If employers thought like this, they would hire
as many workers as possible and sit back and
wait for the money to roll in.
Incredibly, this is what most of our leading
politicians and economists are doing right now!
But fortunately, entrepreneurs are much brighter about these matters.
An entrepreneur is a person who, in the course
of production, assumes the responsibilities of organization, management and risk. He is the man
who realizes, in order to compete successfully, he must be concerned with increasing the
quality and/or appeal of a product, thereby
increasing his production; In this way, he can
expand his business.
And when he's ready to do that, he will only
be too glad to ''fully employ" the best men he
can find.
The full employment doctrine is a myth. Those
who advocate full employment as a means of
achieving prosperity present to men the ILLUSION of prosperity. Going through the motions
of p rod u c i_n g will not result in production.
The next time you hear a policy maker _
r ecommend full employment as a national priority,
remember the man on the island digging ditches.
That policy maker aims to have a nation "digging ditches." And that's why he's dangerous.

• Mt. Angel (Special) - Beginning this Fall Term, Mt. Angel College is accepting accredited community college associate
arts degrees in total, and community college course work,
other than remedial, according to
John H. Baker, vice president
and a~demic dean.
"The effeet of this action,"
states Baker, "hopefully will be
to ensure that students are allowed full credit for valid college level work and to assume
those programs will be organic
to the types of programs elected
at Mt. Angel."

He added: "Much credit refusal has been based on the
rather snobbish premise that only
the home institution can do a
rather comparable course as it
should be done."
Baker concluded: "The effect
of the new liberal policy may
be to force us into a careful
examination of third and fourth
year programs that relate more
specifically to needs that students bring."

A precedent for this decision,
which was passed in a recent
meeting of the Mt. Angel College Academic Council. was
initiated with the College's to-.
tal il.c c ept anc e of the lawenforcement program from Chemeketa Community College.

it for awhile. Nevertheless, out
of this experience came the Augur.

This level of formality continued during the entire process
of the Augur's creation. Johnson spoke to Bill Wooten, who
was running the Free School out,
out of the Ransom Building; Wooten liked the idea. He gave them
a room in the Free School, and
this became the news central,
bureau offices, and hangout for
the Augur. Two weeks after these
historic events, the Oct.14, issue was on the streets. The
first issue, like succeeding is- ·
sues, dealt with comm1mes in .
the area, the Eugene peace movement, the Conspiracy Eight Trial,
labor strikes, and urban renewal.
The staff then, and now, is abso 1u t e 1y impermanent. Anyone
who w ant s to write something
does so, and it is printed. The
writing isn't always news, information, or even interesting.
But the material that finds its
way to a page in the Augur is
rarely found in the RegisterGuard. And unlike the Guard,
the Augur has never had an
editor, no r a rep o rt e r, nor a
photographer. .As Johnson puts
it, "the Augur was, from the
beginning, an experience in participatory journalism." The staff
was a collective-wher e editorial responsibility was shared by
all. Today this collective responsibility remains.
• With the Augur, a number of
people make a subsistence living
selling it. A hawker makes a
dime on every copy he sells. In
Eugene sales are limited by population. In large cities like San
Francisco or Berkeley, a person
can make up to $70 a week by
selling papers.
When the Augur first came out,
two policemen (off duty) came by
to have a look around. Printers
have refused to print certain
things, which means that the
Augur, like every paper, have
seen at least several printers
come and go. Johnson made it
clear however, that compared to
large city underground papers,
the Augur has had the barest
amount of flak from city officials
or anyone else.
Luna and Johnson left the Augur last August. At that time,
the Augur was taking a more
political and less cultural perspective. The Augur was changing. Johnson didn't agree with
the change at that time, but
he let it happen. .As Johnson
said, "the paper doesn't belong
to anyone, it belongs to everyone." Since that time the paper
has gone through many otner
changes like the first: there is
more community coverage: each
week there is coverage of the

activities done by the var10us
cooperatives in the Eugene area;
there is an ongoing series of
drug information articles put out
by the Rainbow Family. And each
week a lot of people read the
Augur.

The Augur was formed because
several people felt there was a
need for it. TI1ese severalpeople
didn't want to get into "straight
journalism." Johnson now works
for the Bullfrog Magazine. The
other day Paul Gratz was laying
out the paper--most papers are
born this way. The revolutionary
broadsides of the American Colonists were no more structured
than the Augur.
At this point many underground
papers are fading away-not be-

cause they go broke, norbecause
they are suppressed, but because
people no longer need them. When
they are neded again, the scene
is repeated. When Eugene no
longer needs the Augur, it will
inevitably fade. The Augur was
born informally as it will someday die. This is clear bv the
question printed on the cover of
their first issue: "Have you the
courage to start over?" That is
what the Augur does. It starts
over.

The Titans are the Region 18
cross country champions. The
runners are naturally happy, but
the happiness seems a bit anticlimatic, because they will not
have a chance to compete for the
National Junior College cross
country t it 1e . The reason for
Lane's absence at the nationals ·
in Danville, Ill. is a very basic
one: There is no money!
Why?
The ~tudent Government has
not allocated, and will not allocate, the money to make the
trip.
Why?
Aside from the obvious conclusions, that I have drawn in
previous articles, that the Senate
is very anti-sports, is the fact
that the government feels it is
in trouble with the students.
Why?
Much publicity has been given
in this paper to certain misgivings of this student administration. I feel there is no need
to elaborate. However, I think
that the Senate's approach to
I

the "pacification" of student outcry merits some comment.
Suddenly the Senate is operating in the "better interest" of
the student at large. The Student Gove r nm en t is accomplishing this by providing, at
no cost to the student, coffee and
doughnuts and milk during midterms and finals. This action
smells of "Public Relations."
The Senate's rationale, for providing a service to a large number of students with the money
($2.00) which each student gives
to the Senate each term, seems
basically sound at first analysis.
Howe var, after mulling the
situation over, it seems less rational and more foolish. If this
sort of rationale is carried to
its extreme (more than $3,000
yearly) the Senate can give my
money back and I'll buy my own
coffee and doughnuts and milk,
during midterms and finals.
Maybe I am mistaken but I
thought the money was being taken from students, to the tune
of $50,000 this year, so the

LCC, SOC
tie 2-2

John Thompson's

Oregon Gossip

It's nice that Al Tarpenning's
LCC Cross Country Team won
the Region 18 Championship in
Roseburg, Saturday, Nov. 6.
However, they may not compete
in the nationals, because the LCC
policy is that the Student Senate
must approve the funds necessary
for the Titan runners to go, and
that they have not done. So,
Lane stays home.
There seems to be a de-emphasis of athletics at LCC, and
this is tragic. It is tragic,
because it seems to me that most
of the students at Lane have the
pride necessary for the school
to excel in every phase, not just
academically.
All we have to do is look
north to Mt. Hood, southwest
from there to Clackamas, and
east to Treasure Valley. These
schools have established vigorous athletic programs. Mt.
:Hood is currently competing in
1the Washington Community Coll[ege Football League, and doing
,iuite well. They have other fine
t eams. Mt. Hood's philosophy
ils to excel in athletics as well
ns in the academic world, and they
are succeeding.
LCC should
follow.
Saturday Lane edged out Ricks
College of Rexburg, Idaho,
2:9-36. Ricks' Jamie Stark was
winner in 20:35. Titan runners
Dale Hammitt and Bill Cram
f:inished second and
third,
respectively. The remainder of
t11e Titan team also placed. This
was a tremendous team effort
by the Titans. Considering LCC
i~: Regional Champion, it is a
pf ty that Ricks, and not LCC, will
bE~ representing Region 18 at
the nationals.
Well, the Stanford Indians, defe:nding Conference and Rose
Bowl champs, are the 1971
Pmc-8 Conference champs as
we·ll. They will be the Pac-B's
reipresentative in Pasadena New
Year's Day, and I must say that
the,y will be a fine representative. Forget the loss~~ to Duke

and WSU.
Few teams go un:iefeated in this era of footballo
Wow!
The Axemen of South
Eugene are some kind of a football team. Coach Dave Powell's
gridders stunned North Eugene
27-0 Friday, Nov. 5 at Autzen
to gain a spot in the state playoffs. In their gigantic victory,
South held a very good North
team to just 33 yards in total
offense. Combining that defense
with a fine running and passing
game, the Axemen boosted their
lead in the inter-city rivalry to
10-3, and their winning streak
over two seasons to 15. Coach
Powell said it: "Yes, this was
a very big one." It was that,
and now South meets the Marshall
Minutemen of Portland in the
quarter finals. The Axemen look
good enough to capture all the
marbles.
Looking at records: R. "Shug"
Jordan, head football coach of
Auburn with his team's 30-21
victory over Mississippi State
Saturday, now has a 145-66-5 win,
loss, tie record in this, his
21st season. Saturday's win was
the eighth this season without a
loss or tie, and the Tigers are
ranked fifth nationally. "Bear"
Bryant,
Jordan's rival at
Alabama, receives most of the
publicity from that state. However, Jordan just keeps winning
game~ without flamboyance, and
his winning record just becomes
more impressive with each
season.
Accolades are in order for the
Portland Trailblazers once again
since they downed the Houston
Roe kets 112-11 O in Houston,
Thursday, Nov. 4. The "Big E",
Elvin Hayes 28 points weren't
enough for the Rockets, as Sidney
Wicks, the Trailblazer's rookie,
combined a fine scoring and rebounding game to lead the Blazers
out of the cellar and into fourth
place in the Pacific Division of
the NBA.

The LCC Titans closed out
their cross country season with
with a Region 18 Junior College
Ch~.mpionship Saturday. The
meet was held at the Sutherlin
Knolls Golf Course in Roseburg.
The Titans withstood strong
competition from Ricks College
of Rexburg, Idaho to take the
Championship 29 to 36. Lane
will not advance to the National
Championships on Nov. 13 in
Danville, Illinois because of lack
of funds.
Although the Titans took the
team honors, it was a Ricks
runner, Jamie Stark, who ran
away with the individual honors
with a winning time of 20:35.
Dale Hammitt and Bill Cram, who
have been the top Titan runners
all year, took second and third
place honors with times of 21:05
and 21:08, respectively.

Senate could ''do something" for
the students. I am sure the students could buy their own refreshments with the two bucks.
So what else could be. done?
Send the cross country team
to the national championships?
Perhaps not, but it would accomplish more good than feeding
a few students some coffee and
doughnuts and milk. It would at
least show that the Senate was
trying to promote excelience on
campus. I'm sure that if it were
an academic team (such as a debate team or biology team) which
shows excellence, there would be
little difficulty in persuading the
Senate to pay the bill.
There seems to be some derogatory connotations about athletics. Some folks think they
have no place on campus. I disagree. Athletics, Ii k e any program, vocational or co 11 e g e
transfer, is part of the "learning _experience."
Student Senate, why free coffee
and doughnuts and milk?

Tomen's Hockey Team
The LCC women's field hockey
team hosted a tie game with
Southern Oregon College (SOC),
Friday, Oct. 29.
The Lane team, unsure of
SOC's strategies, was caught off
_guard shortly after the game got
underway when SOC's center forward scored the first goal.
Although both teams threatened
to score several times, the half
ended with no change in the score.
·Halfway through the second
half, SOC scored again during a
penalty bully between Lane's
goalie and SOC's center forward.
However, Lane recovered late
in the second half when Jan
Hull put LCC on the score board
for the first time in the game.
Next,
Lavada Barber,
and Lisa Fox, combined for the
•final 2-2 tie.

22-28 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Searl will be joined by Harvey
o. Bennett, a former Cottage
Grove instructor, now assistant
professor of Education at Eastern
Oregon College.
The workshop will be devoted to
learning how geography teachers
from the elementary through college levels can use their local
community as the basis for geography study, focusing on how
spacial . organization effects
growth patterns and other socioeconomic characteristics of a
locale.
Searl and Bennett have worked

in Cottage Grove, and later in
conducting seminars in geography education at the University of Oregon. Searl still
teaches summer classes for geography teachers at the University.
The pair are co-authors with
Larry King of Portland Community College of a book on
Oregon

entitled
"Places People Live, an Urban
and Social Geography." They
also have participated in national
school trials of e'A)erimental
instructional materials for geography education.
The national convention will be
concerned with six major contemporary issues considered
from the perspective of the local
community. One of the principal
speakers will be Dean Rusk,
former Secretary of State anq
now on the University of Georgia
