Election turnout
Last week's ASLCC elections
drew 435 voters out of a pos ..

Students also voted favorably
on three student issues included
on the ballot.
The following students were
elected to Senate positions: Sherri Hilton, freshman, Business;
Barb a r a Prisk, sophomore,
Bus in es s; William Krueger,
s op h m o re , Data Processing;

In addition 152 votes were cast
for various write-in candidates,
none of whom won .office.
The three issues included on

Health service lacking
according to Dr. Elkind
LCC students can have greatly
expanded bealtfi services, if they
are willing to pay the price in
increased student fees, according
to collegf' President Eldo.1 Schafer.
Schafe r 's remarks were delivned during a panel discussion
in the Center Building last W,2dnesday. The p::i.r10 l also includ~d
Board Chairm:rn Catherine Lauris and LCC Physician Les Elkind.
Th~ LCC Political Mobilization Com :nittee organized the
panel and distributed a flyer
calling for a physician's services on a half-timt? basis, as

well as the availability of psychiatric consultation anrl laboratory facilities.
Dr. Elkind stated there is '' an
obvio:is lack of outpatient health
services at LCC." He \W1nt on
to say the causes are not willful, but financial,
He was echoed by Schafer, who
stated that it is "hard for us
to raise the money for a bare
educational program."
Both Schafer and Mrs. Lauris
agreed that any funds for expanded health services should be obtained from student funds and be
handled through student government.

light

the ballot were presented in the
forms of questions as to whether
student body funds should be expected to support athletics, group
legal services for students and
expanded health services.
The question on athletics passed with a count of 219 yes to
203 no, a narrow 16 vote margin. Legal services passed with
282 yes votes against 130 no's.
Health services passed by the largest margin with 351 voting for
and 65 voting against.
ASLCC President Omar Barbarossa interpreted the affirmative vote on the questions of
group 1e g a 1 services and expanded health services as '' a
clear mandate from the student
body."
However, citing the narrow
passage of the athletic issue, he
withheld comment.
At the conclusion of the elections, 11 positions still remained
unfilled, Barbarossa explained
that these positions would be filled by means of petitions. Any
student planning on taking at least
one class in those departments
during the year may turn in petitions, available in the ASLCC
offices, with 100 signatures by
Thursday, D•~c. 9. The petitions will then be considered and
accepted by the Student Senate
on that day.
The following positions may be
petitioned for: freshman, Data

Review pending

Editor & staff resign
Last Tuesday, Nov. 30, Lane's
Media Commission accepted a
letter of resignation from TORCH
editor Bill Bauguess, with "reluctan~e" and offered a "vote of
thanks for a job well done."
Letters of resignation from
other TORCH central staff members resigning at the end of
Fall Term, and addressed to
Bauguess, were also ;received
by the Commission.
The other central staff members resigning are La Verna Bauguess, associate editor; Richard
St a mp , advertising and production manager; and Tony Rogers, political editor. Bill ~irning, sports editor, also resigned
his editorship but will continue
with the staff as a reporter and
photographer.
In his letter, Bauguess cited a
conflict between his editorial duties and his academic responsibilities. He elaborated,'' Problems which occurred in the working structure of the TORCH led
to pressures on me, which in
turn res u It e d in my dropping
classes."
Bauguess also pointed out that
meetings with the staff, advisor
and Mass Communications Department chairman failed to resolve the prob 1em of "disharmony between the central staff
and the advisor,!' Ralph Peterson.
In addition , Bauguess requested that the commission review the ope ration and working policies the TORCH in order
to "prevent the continuation of
these problems."
At the request of Peterson,
the review was scheduled for
Tuesday, Dec. 14. He also recommended that detailed written statements from all concerned parties be submitted to
the Commis_sion prior to the review.
The Commission then decided
to advertise in the TORCH for
applicants for the position of
editor. Students may pickup ap-

:~$,;:

plication in the TORCH office.
Deadline for submission for applications is Friday, Dec. 10.
Applicants will be interviewed
by the Commission on Monday,
Dec. 13, and Tuesday, 14.
Following last week's -meeting, ASLCC President, 0 mar
Barbarossa, issued a statement
in which he pointed out that the
"resignation of these students
raises other side issues."
He suggested that st u de n ts
working in extra-curricular activities should receive academic credit. "Many times a student desires to do a professional
job," he said. "As a result, his
academic load suffers" He then
added: "The education of being
involved in student government
and campus publications broadens the education of that individual. We have to find ways of
rewarding these people through
academic credit."
In addition, Barbarossa stated
that he was "investigating the
possibility of monetary compensation for students working
in student activities.''
The major issue in Barbarossa's view is "advisors versus
students." "We have a question of how free the press is.
This freedom is being tampered
with by the advisor," he alleged.
Barbarossa then expressed
concern over "the way the Media Commission seemed to want
to soft pedal this issue of freedom of the press." He also
brought up the possibility of Student Senate action. He ·.varned
"If this matter isn't resolved
and the Media Commission tries
to whitewash this situation, I
am going to recommend to the
Senate that we with-hold funds
from the TORCH until this isuse is resolved,"
'' I want this review to be
fair, open and objective and I
am optimistic that this matter
can be resolved before next quarter," Barbarossa noted.

TORCH

·o_ec. 7

Resig natio ns view ed as only solut ion
One of the more trying times in any individual's
life is terminating a position or relationship
that has provided a sense of comfort and
fulfillment.
Working on the TORCH has provided these
things and more. It has demanded from those
of us charged with the responsibility of producing
the newspaper no less than part of our lives,
and it has offered us rewards twofold in return.
To continue in our endeavor to produce a quality
newspaper has been increasingly difficult over the
past several weeks. Events which have taken
place within the TORCH this term have created
tension and pressure · which have taken their toll
not only on our own academic studies, but on
the overall professionalism of the newspaper.
In an effort to understand and overcome these
difficulties, we have met with those concerned,
yet have failed to reach a feasible solution.
Because the solution to the problem appears
to be unattainable, and because it is not possible
for us to confinue to work in the presence of
those problems, we have submitted our resignations.
For the opportunity of working on the TORCH,
we on the central staff are grateful. We hope
that our contribution to the LCC commumty has
been benificial.
Printed on this page are the letters of resignation submitted by the TORCH central staff.

TORCH Editor
Lane Community College

Daar Media Commission Members:
Last winter, I accepted the appointment as
Editor of the TORCH with the full intent of
serving my entire term of office.
Events which have taken place this fall, however, have led to disharmony between the central
staff and the advisor. Meetings have been held
with the central staff, the advisor and the Mass
Communication Department Chairman in an unsuccessful attempt to rectify the situation.
Resulting pressure and tension have affected
the academic studies of the entire central staff
as well as their performance on the TORCH, and
have brought about the resignation of all the
central staff members except the Head Photographer and myself. Those resignations become
effective at the end of this term.
Because of the heavy toll on my academic
studies, my very existance in college has been
seriously threatened. I feel that, should I attempt to fulfill the last three months of my
office, the conditions that exist would bring about
the demise of my education completely and defeat my very purpose for attending LCC. I find
the only course of action remaining open to me
is to submit this letter of resignation, effective
at the end of this Fall Term.
I find this decision both regretable and distasteful. I do not take it lightly. Ihave considered
possible alternatives and find them unworkable
if I am to maintain a satisfactory academic
curriculum. I appeal to members of the Media
Commission to understand my situation, and offer
any help I can give in the future.
Because of the seriousness of this matter and
the p o s s i b I e implications to future TORCH
Editors, I hereby request the Media Commission
to review the actions of the TORCH central staff,
the TORCH advisor, and the Mass Communication Department Chairman, at the earliest posi,ible date.
Respectfully,
William J. Bauguess
TORCH Editor

Dear Bill:
Working on the TORCH for over a year now
has been a highly rewarding and valuable educational experience. The staff has been the most
dedicated group of individuals with whom I have
ever had the privilege of working.
As you know, this past term has been an extremely trying one because of inter-office problems which have not been resolved--even after
countless meetings with the advisor, and finally
with the chairman of the Mass Communication
Department.
I now find my -education in serious jeopardy
because of these problems, and my performance
as Associate Editor is also suffering because of
them. After considering the possible alternatives,
I find no other solution except to resign, effective
December 22, 1971.

Respectfully,
La Verna Bauguess

November 29, 1971·

Dear Bill:
During the past 12 months I have found my
involvement with the TORCH botb educationally
rewarding and professionally satisfying. In my
experience with student publications, I have never
had the opportunity of working with a more
"outstanding" newspaper.
However, as you know, problems have arisen
this fall which have developed to a point where
they seem to affect the performance of the entire
central staff. These problems are affecting my •
performance not only in the fields of advertising
and production, but in academic studies as well.
In an attempt to clarify and remedy the situation, the difficulties facing the TORCH, its staff
and advisor have been fully discussed with you,
the entire Editorial Board including the advisor,
and with the Mass Communication 0.2partment
chairman.
Because of the apparent lack of solution from
within, I feel my most sensible course of action
is to submit this letter of resignation, to become
effective upon completion of the present school
term.

I have greatly enjoyed my experience in working with the TORCH. It has been, by far the best
"student" publication with which I have ever
been connected. I have found mv involvement
with the TORCH to be educationaily and professionally rewarding.

There are, however, problems existing which .....
have been discussed at length between the central
staff, the TORCH Advisor, and the Chairman of
the Mass Communication Department.
Because of these problems, and the resulting
professional differences between myself and the
TORCH Advisor, it has become impossible for
me to be effective in my position as Political
Editor, or to successfully continue my academic
career.
I feel that, in view of the situation, there is
no course open to me except to announce my
resignation, effective at the end of Fall Term
1971.

Senators consider issues at weekend workshop
Fifty Senators, Senators-elect
and interested students jammed
Heceta House to participate in
the Student Senate Retreat Dec.
•
4 and 5.
The retreat, lead by ASLCC
President Omar Barbarossa, in
reality was a fourteen-hour-aday work session where students
planned, rapped, talked and conspired at ways of helping LCC
students.
Some of the prime concerns
of the people who attended the
retreat were those of student
health services, studen.t legal

services, teacher evaluation and
financing of the student government. Although no official action
could come from the meeting, the
topics were thoroughly examined
and explored for possible solutions.
Health services was determined as the most expensive to implement. No exact figures were
discussed, however it was estimated to run in excess of $20
thousand per year. The health
services would provide medical
services at no cost to students.
Legal services were discussed
in depth with Board of Educa-

Letters to the Editor
Asserts right to speak out

To the Editor:
Since the beginning of this
term, one of the issues about
Omar's summer activities has
been racism. The theory seems
to be that because the students
didn't object to the past President's activities, they are only
objecting to Omar, due to the
fact that he is a minority member.
I, as a concerned student, have
been left two paths to take: 1)
Remain quiet, support the President, and overlook his "less
than propitious summer activities, 11 in favor of being called
a liberal; and 2) speak out against
things I feel are unjust, support
the President only on issues I
feel are valid, and observe his
activities to insure he is fulfilling his obligations, even
though I may be called prejudiced.
I choose the second route for
I feel that this will enhance a
more productive student government and be more beneficial to
the college in the long run.
The right of the individual to
speak out against his President
is a right given to us by the
Constitution and has nothing to
do with race, religion or creed.
It is too bad students utilizing
this right are considered prejudiced, and not concerned.
Bobby F. Kirk
Health services to cost

To the Editor:
Based on the comments made
by Dr. Schafer and Catherine
Lauris last Wednesday, it seems
clear that the administration is
going to look no further than
our, the students, pocketbooks for
the funds to improve health ser'-

vices at LCC. It is true that
wra pay the lowest student fees
in Oregon, but that is no excuse
for increasing them if there are
more equitable ways of raising
money.
First, take a look at the budget. There seem to be some
obvious discrepancies, such as
certain administrators' salaries
going up while other budgets were
slashed. Students need to examine
the Budget Document from astudent perspective and propose alternatives to the administration.
Second, funds can be raised by
having benefit dances or concerts. Jay Boulton is working on
this, but this project needs more
students working on it.
A third alternative deals with
the question of who benefits from
LCC. Yes, we benefit by getting
( Continued on page 5)

tion member Robert Ackerman.
Ackerman stated that the cost
of legal services at the University of Oregon and other institutions is about one dollar per
student. He felt that the cost
would be the same at LCC. Ackerman's private law firm currently handles student legal services at the U of O.
Most students expressed an
opinion that teacher evaluation
is an important issu~. Most students said it was not only their
right, but their responsibility
to evaluate teaching methods. Dr.
Eldon Schafer, LCC president,
said that student evaluation is
now being considered by the Administration as part of the new
teacher evaluation process.
The most controversial subject
discussed at the retreat was the
financing of athletics. Athletic
funding currently takes nearly
40 percent ($17,400) of the student budget. Many students feel
nd on
$17,000 is too much to spe_
200 to 300 students who participate in athletics. others think
athletics are worthwhile and that
the Senate should continue its
same level of support. After
much discussion on both sides
of the controversy it was resolved that the Senate's finance
committee would study the problem and make recommendations
to the Senate.
Pat Bonn from the Aid to
D~pendent Children organization
(ADC) asked t h e Senate for
$2,000. She wanted the money so
seven ADC recipients could go
to Washingtion, D, C., to testify
at U. S. Senate hearings on House
Reform Bill #1. She stated that
the bill would affect more than
300 LCC students who are currently receiving ADC and related welfare scholarships. The
bill, according to Mrs. Bonn, is
discriminatory against welfare
programs and would tend to
create additional welfare problems rather than extinguish current ones.
The Senate was sympathetic
with the ADC cause but has no
money to allocate at this time.
A study will be made to explore
fund-raising methods to finance
emergency needs such as ADC's.
Final disposition of the ADC
problem will be discussed at
the Dec. 16 Senate meeting.
A consensus of opinion indicated that "student apathy," a
disease suffered by many students at LCC, is due to I) a lack
of communication between the

Senate and the students, and 2)
·the decentralized campus. Many
Senators agreed that something
should be done in both those
areas to improve student/Senate
relations. One suggestion was to
seek m o re space f o r Senate
offices and include a large area
for student activities. It was mentioned that the only place students
have to congregate is in the Food
Services area. This area is always filled and is not conducive
to meeting, planning or working
on projects. The Senators agreed
that a central place for these
activities is needed and decided
to try and get the basement of
the Center Building after the
proposed Performing Arts Building is c'ompleted.
Methods of -::ommunication with
the students are under investigation and wil 1 be reported at

the Senate meeting on Thursday
Dec. 9.
The retreat demonstrated that
the Senate is willing and eager
to work for the studentbody. If
only some of the plans considered
are implimented a lot of good
will be done for the LCC campus.

TORCH

Dec. 7

Man and Environm ent
by Mikel Kelly

It's customary, in dealing with such aneveryday topic as pollution and its foul deeds, to
reach out and grab at sensationalism, sparing
none of the gloomy details. The possibility of
impending doom hovering over New York or
Los Angeles or Chicago is valid enough but somehow it just doesn't turn downtown Glenwood into
an angry mob. It might be appropriate then, to
bring the problem closer to home.
We'd probably like to think of the EugeneSpringfield area as typical America. Unfortunately
it's not. Geographically, our little community
has some big-city crosses to bear. We've crammed ourselves into the southernmost corner of
the Willamette Valley, surrounded on all sides
by mountains, except to the north. And that's
where most of our outside air comes from. With
nowhere for the air to go, pollutants from all
the way to the Columbia River gather in Eugene.
The 140,000 some bodies that make up our own
metropolitan area don't help much either. We
drive cars, burn wastes, and use fuel. All of
these add up to a phenomenal strain on our air
supply.
The most ideal illustration is the summertime
headache that materializes with the field burning
season. Old Joe Grass-seed-grower in Shedd
doesn't have a smoke problem. Corvallis skies
can stay clear as a bell, while in Eugene there
are days when no one can see across the street.
It would be most unfortunate, however, to
singularly proclaim the seed grower as the evil,
cape-swishing Dick Dastardly, standing between
Lane County and an everlasting utopia_. There is
much to be said for the theory that mankind
will never see the ecological collapse of its
environment - but will instead alienate itself
to the point of finally causing a continual spasm
of violence. The likelihood of such devastating
polarization should not be taken lightly. Everyday, the need for rational., clearheaded thinking becomes more immediate.
So. Just what is it in our air that's causing all
this furor? And what are its sources?

accounts for 69 per cent of the carbon monoxide,
63 per cent of the nitrogen oxides, and· 52 per
cent of the hydrocarbons emitted from all sources
surveyed." Well, we are pretty much aware of
how "safe" carbon monoxide is. Nitrogen oxides
can be harmful to humans and vegetation, and
when combined with water, produce nitric acid,
which corrodes nietal surfaces. And hydrocarbons are known for the part they play in photochemical smog , which affects man as a respiratory ailment.
The "Emission Inventory" says the second
biggest source of pollution is the wood products industry. Most significant in this category
is the wigwam waste burner. Due to stringent
controls by the LRAPA, 1970 saw wigwam burNamed to assist Loughlin in

Complaints bring standards
All students currently enrolled

evaluate
methods during finals week.
The test was devised primarily
as a method of providing input
for the grievance proceedings
underway against Ben Kirk, LCC
Science Oepartment instructor.
The question of Kirk's teaching methods surfaced last year
because of student complaints.
As a result, he was placed on
probation by the administration.
A series of conferences with
personnel from the Science Department and the Office of
Instruction were arranged to consider the complaints and arrive
at a so.lution.
Dr. Ray LaGnndeur, associate
dean of instruction, pointed out
that, because Kirk is still on probation from last year, the sit-

Defending the value of his type
of instruction, Kirk pointed out,
"The students in my class are
experiencing freedom in education. I'm asking them to grow
and learn in a science area,
but in a direction they have chosen
from within themselves."
''I want mr students to develop
an interest in science that will
stay with them for the rest of
their lives and that interest requires freedom," he concluded,

aren't the only ones who gain
from the com rnunity college being

utilities, benefits directly when
it hires pre-trained personnel
from LCC. Local industries do
pay property taxes to help keep
LCC going, but the amount th_ey

to the amount they benefit from
LCC. Why can't . we solicit contributions to the Student Health

that they should pay more when
they benefit more.
These are only three alternatives. I'm sure there are others.
One thing that we must remember, though, is that they will be
considered seriously by the administration only if there is a
great deal of student pressure.
It is our Health Service and our
health at stake, so le.t 's get together on it.

Reflections on blast
T-J the Editor:
The Amchitka tests are completed, but the after blast is
yet to come. The blast itself
didn't seem to affect the environment as much as what most
of us had expected it to. From
the information we have been
given, it seems as though there
are no radiation leaks and only
a few birds, a nesting area,
some sea otters and a shall.ow
lake, were destroyed by the blast.
AU we have to be concerned with
_now, is the huge radioactive cavern beneath Amchitka Island and
perhaps some unknown long range
effects.
What wor :~ ~s me even more is
those thousands of letters, hundreds of petitions and telegrams,
and the national and international
concern, that were ignored by our
government leaders. These people, I thought, were elected to
their positions to represent us

Kirk, on the other hand has
challenged the idea of standardized course content. "An external set of criteria doesn't

TORCH

Ma rin e, recruiting like an y· oth er business
By Bill Dwyer
Our lives these days seem to
revolve around the consumption
of products that we usually can't
see. We can read the contents on
the package, or listen to a commercial praise its magic solution to every problem. Or we
can experience the product ourselves, and then reach conclusions about the merits of the
"goods." This last method, is
reserved for only the most adventurous among us. For most
of us, we rely on the packaging
of the product, placing our trust
in the "truth in advertising " concept. Usually we're safe in our
assumption that the product won't
hurt.
There is a business which few
co;1sumers see as a business at
all. To most Americans, recruiting for the Armed Forces
is an endeavor rivaled only by
the Church, and maybe Motherhood. But to Master Sgt. William
Lohan, Eugene's Marine Corps
recruiter, his activities amount
to nothing less th3n a full fledged business. "Recruitin g is like
any other business." Lohan be1ieves it is his job to "sell" the
f\l:.trine Corps to Oregon's young
men. In order to do this, '' the
Corps" has set up a program
which emphasizes the training a
young man <:an get through the
Curps.
The rec r u it in g station is
loC'ated on Willamette Street and
11th Avenue.~ There yoII find an
alley between a printing shop,
:1.ml a typewriter store. This is
"recruiter alley" where thP
Army, Navy, Air Force, and the
\larines set up shop in p,2 acefu l , ,111'1 m,1ybe even hap;)y co<:: xiste•r::r,.
Lohan is a full tim,2 M::irine.

He's been a Marine for 24 years,
served a tour in Vietnam, and
since March of 1968 has operated
out of the Eugene recruiting office. While his experience and
philosphy are straight from the
manual, his appearance doesn't
strike one as the classic Marine
image. As a matter of fact, out
of uniform Lohan might easily
pass for the typical American
father. Soft-spoken, informal,
and honest about his feelings,
Lohan offers guidance to young
men who aren't quite sure where
their options are. "We try to
encourage high school students to
finish before coming to see us."
Lohan said'' A dropout has almost
no options when he joins the
Corps." Arid, like real life, the
more education a man has, the
more options the Marines can
offer him,
Most officers come from the
University, usually through the
Officer Candidate Program> after
graduation. Students with a two
year degree from Lane, will
prob ab I y be given extensive
training in technical areas. "We
try to fit the training to vocational areas already studied."
Lohan abserved "So if a Lane
student comes to us from the
Automntive program, we'll try to
put him in that area."
Anl)ther part of the package
Lohan tries to sell to young men,
and the most important part, is
the meaning of being a M:1rine.
The Marine is a "Spartan" to
Lohan. He is a total professiona l
in a place where there is no
room for amateurs, The advertising campign reflects this, df-'voting about half .tn the tc,chnical training available, and half
tu Lohan's definition of what a
real '' man'' is. '' Any technical
training available is secondary.·•
he said "Our main objective is
to turn a young man into a professional soldier, a wJrrior.''
Lohan' s ethic of manhor>d is
his ethic; of the Marine. A MarinE>
is taught never to quit, to fight
on as long as it's humanly possible. Guitters and dropouts !'lave
no place in the Corps. Ami the
Marinrs d.:m't want Joe Awr:..igl-' ,
They get two kinds of mP11; thf>
very aggressive, loudmouth, ancl
the very quiet, introvnt. '· Wi,
try to hold down the hig gur, and
bring out the personality of thp
quiet one.'' Lohan said "And WP
don't teach peoplf> to hat(• any
race, or any man.'' Lu~an feels
the Marine has on2 job, to fight
the enemies of this country. "The
Marines don't start wars." he
said "All we do is buy the poli-

ticians a little time to find a
solution." And about 50 per cent
of all casualties in America's
most recent "buying of time"
have been Marines. Lohan stressed the idea that the Marines
were the most superior and reliable fighters in the Armed Forces~ Consequently, they suffer the
•most casualties, because they're
called upon to fight the hardest
fight.
There's never a problem or a
question in the mind of a Marine.
He always knows why he's doing
his job. He always does it. Consequently, the Marines have had
very little problem with drugs.
When a man is found to have
drugs, or be a drug user, the
Marines simply get rid of him.
And until the Dapartment of Defense insisted, the Marine Corps
didn't even have a drug rehabilitation program. They just got
rid of the drug user.
Because the Marines are very
selective in their choice of recruits, and want only those capable of fulfilling their image of
manhood and profession alism,
the advertising campaign which
they have launched reflects this.
Unlike the Army, whose public
relations have done a complete
ahout-face in advertising , the
Marines haven't really changc>d
their tune. They simply ad,jed a
few horns to the orchrstra. FormHly, their music played "th,~
Marine Corps builds mt'n. " They
have also used "Ask a Marint->"
what its like to be n:e, and
to be a m:rn. Now, with ,1 rect->nt
memorandum from tlw CommandJnt of the Corps, the advertising campaign l•mphasizes the
<•lite, seh~ctivP, individual qualities uf thP recruiting proc1:.,ss,
"Nobody like:, to fighL ,, .but
somebody has to kno\\ how ... .the
M-1ri1w Corps is lpoking for a

Ac-, we look around us today,

are beginning to change quickly.

Wr~ are not what our fathers were.

modity. When Vietnam ends (if
ever) what does the "warriorman'' do then? Can he revel in
the knowledge that relative peace
exists? He can only be bored by
that. Instead he must wait, eagerly anticipating the next Vietnam,
the next Korea, the next proof of
a professiona l. ... and a man.

So, like many young men's
fathers, Lohan is caught in a
predicament, and one that he
really doesn't understand. Like
the business enterprise that he
represents, there is no where to
go but down. Both are too old.
And as America's concept of
manhood changes, the "warriorman" becomes an obsolete com-

Oregon Gossip

One of my cohorts said it:
"The Pumpkin" Freis Jerry:"
This came from Kelly Lindley,
and I must say it was very appropriate for describing the OSUOregon football game. It seems
proper to send congratulations
in the direction of the Oregon
State Beavers. As most of you
know am defeated the University of Oregon for the eighth
straight time 30 to 29 Sat. Nov.
20 before 43,000 fans. This was
the seventh victory over Oregon without a loss for Dee Andros, OSU's head coach, and
it was his fifth straight over
Oregon's head man, Jerry Frei.

Well, the Linfield JV's stopped Lane's basketball team 77
to 74 Sat., Dec. 4. Titan Coach,
Irv Roth said simply to his team:
"Men - we just blew it." Six
foot guard Greg Taylor had a
fantastic night ·ror the Titans with
29 points, and 18 r ebounds. Taylor formerly played for Jefferson High in Portland,
Any team can blo w a game
occ asionally. The Titans won 't
be world beaters, but it seems
they will be a good team. Coach
Roth feels the Titans will '' be
a more complete team than last
year ,"
L atest of the Oregon football
team named to play in the East-

West Shrine game in San Fran•
cisco is Senior offensive tackle,
Tom Drougas. Already named tc
play are tailback Bobby Moore 1
and flanker Leland Glass.
Word comes from the University of Oregon Athletic Department that Moore and Droug~
have been named to The Sporting News All-American Team,
Sporting News realizes that there
are good football players playing
for Oregon. In 1963 they named
halfback Mel Renfro as an AllAmerican. He has more than
proved himself with the National
Football Conference Dallas Cowboys.

I looked at the Register-Guard
last Saturday afternoon, and found
that the Portland Trailblazers
had finally won a game. Yes sir,
they defeated the Golden State
Warriors, no less, 115-107. After losing seven straight, and
about 15 out of their 16 games,
it was a welcome relief to see
the 'Blazers had won one. Geoff
Petrie is back, friends, and he
scored 35 points. Sidney Wicks
backed-up Petrie nicely with 31
points. Now that Portland has
acquired veteran NBA p I ayer,
Darr all Imhoff, and since Petrie
has recovered from his injury,
look for more Trailblazer wins,
fans .

Irv Roth, basketball coach for
the Titans, has named Terry
Manthey (6'-4"), Dave Gibson
W-4 11 ), Greg Taylor (6'-0 11 ),
Steve Woodruff (5'-10"), and Vic
Williams (5' -8") as the probable
starting line up for Saturday
night's contest. All five players
are sophomores, and all were
members of last year's Titan
team. The only other returning
sophomore is (5' 11") Jeff Beck
from Corvallis.
The. rest ' of the Titan team is
made up of freshmen, with Alex
Iwaniw (6' -4") from Springfield,
and Dale Lee (6' -4") from Lowell
heading up the Freshmen talant.
Both of these players should see
a lot of action in the Titan lineup.
T.1e Titans will be showing a
different type of Basketball this
year as they will be doing more
running and fast-breaking, counting on Terry Manthey and Greg
Taylor for points. Both Manthey
and Taylor averaged 14 points
per game last year for the Titans.
With a lack of size and the
loss of three of last year's starting players, Willy Jones, Dan
Haxby, and Steve Armitage, the
Titans will have to rely on their
defense to slow down the opposing
teams. They will be relying
mostly on a man-to-man defense.
Irv Roth's biggest concern this
year, is the picking up of the
rebound slack created by the loss
of Willy Jones who averaged 17
rebounds per-game last year for
the Titans.
Roth also commented, that the
winning team in this year ' s conference race will lose a few
games before the season is over.
He sees strong competitioncom -

ming from Mt. Hood, SWOCC,
Linn Benton, and Central Oregon
Community College with no one
team really having an edge .
"The Titans have been working
real hard this year,'' Roth said.
"They have a good attitude, and
they are showing a lot of hussle."
With good performances, Roth
expects the Titans to be in the
conference race.
The Titans play a tough 29game schedule with 14 of the
games being played at home. It
should be an exciting season and,
with the support of students, a
successful one.
