Panel refuses press coverage
HPUP co-chairman, Ray Hawk,
asked representatives of the Daily Emt1rald, the Register-Guard
a:1r:I KV AL TV to leave. after
open
panel members refused
discussion on the matter. At
that point, Emerald Editor, Art
Bushnell said, that "because of
my responsibilities, as I see
them~ to the campus community,
my responsibilities to the Emerald, and my responsibility to
report events of importance ... I
am unable to leave at the time."
Hawk then said, "If we have a
refusal on the part of our visitors to leave, then, considering
the decision we made Monday
night, it leaves no alternative but
to adjourn this meeting."
Following the adjournmE-!nt of
th,3 meeting, several committee
me m be rs stayed behind to discuss the issue with the Daily Emerald and reporters from the
wire serves and the RegisterGuard.
U of O Law professor Hans
Linde stated, "We are not an
elected body. We are not accountable to any constituency.
Obviously , we are responsible,
but there's a hell of a lot of
difference between the two. It
is childish, petty and chickenshit to break up meetings.''
The work of the planning panel
is to decide how to cut the university's budget to an acceptable level. The panel consists of
six administrators. six facultv
members, and three students.
The panel was appointed by University President Robert Clark.
The University of Oregon
Hearing Panel on University Priorities refused to convene on both
Wednesday, Feb. 3. and Thursday, Feb. 4, because members of
the press refused to let the meeting convene in private.
The committee voted during

to

their procedural meeting on Monday night to convene in private,
because of the nature of the business they were to discuss. Members of the panel felt that they
would not be candid if representatives of the press were present.
Clark said "the question is
whether the faculty and staff
members affected by the budget
review should have their status
publicized in the community during the process of deliberation;
and be f o re recommendations
have been formulated."
On Thursday night, Feb. 3, the
panel again attempted to conven 1:! in Johnson Hall on the Uof O
campus. Harry Alpert, vic"epresident of academic affairs,
cancelled the meeting when most
of the dozen non-panel members
in attendance refused to leave.
Alpert said that the cancellation of the two meetings had not
severely hampered the work of
HPUP yet.
Bushnell said that he and other
E mer a 1d staff members would
continue to attend the meetings
with plans to fully report them.
At the Wednesday night meeting, U of O student body vice-

president Larry Salmony and student senate president, Stephanie
Larson issued a statement supporting the panel's decision to
conduct its business in private.
Bushnell said that he does not
"recognize the legitimacy of any
committee or panel to close itself to the press, especially when
that committee or panel's charge
is of such vast importance to
members of this community."
The U of O Student Senate
voted 22 to 2, with six abstentions, Thursday night in support
of a resolution calling for HPUP
meetings to be '' open t o both
citizens and the press." Salmony
at that time spoke against the
senate resolution.
The board of directors of the
Daily Emerald voted Thursday to
• support Editor Bushnell in his
efforts to keep this, and all such
meetings, open to the press.
Bushnell informed the TORCH
that he was encouraged by the
support given to the Daily
Emerald by the U of O student
body and the Oregonian and other media. "In light of these
responses, I feel support for our
side is growing," he stated.

And the lucky number is ...

The draft lottery for 1973 Selective Service inductions was
held Wednesday, Feb. 2, at the Commerce Department in Washington, D.C.
_
The lottery was held to assign draft priorities to the almost two
million eligible 19 year old men.
Selective Service Director, Curtis W. Tarr, commented to the effect that there is a possibility of less inductions by the Selective
Service in the future.
"Since the first drawing was held in Dec., 1969, both the US military situation and Selective Service have changed a great deal,"
Tarr said. "The manpower requirements of the armed services
have decreased considerably, and there has been a corresponding
lowering of the number of men inducted each year."
Local reaction to the lottery is expressed by Lane students in
a series of interviews on page 8.

"Newscene," LCC's own news
and information television show,
will be enjoying a new look and
an increase in coverage this
term.
The show, produced by the television broadcasting class under
the direction of Television Instructor Michael Hopkinson, has
received permission from the
Board of Education to originate
an expanded program for Eugene's two local television station.s Beginning Saturday, Feb.
12, ''Newscene" will be aired
on KVAL at 2:30 p.m., and starting Sunday; Feb. 13, it will be
viewed
on KEZI From 9
to 9:30 a.m.
"News c e ne" began during
Winter Term of the 196970 school year. It was the result of the broadcasting class'
initial exercises in producing a
simulated newscast. The original
program was broadcast as a 15
minute weekly program on the
University of Oregon's Station
PL3. However, the program was
limited in that LCC did not own
its own 16 mm film equipment.
Interviews had to be conducted
inside the studio, and on-thespot news coverage was out of
the question. A slide cameraproduced the only source of visual
effects. Later, two 15 minute
shows were planned, but preparation time for this effort proved too demanding. Last year,
"Newscene" expanded into one
weekly 30 minute show, and continued transmitting on PL3.
Since that time, the program
has continually refined and expanded its content. The first step
was the acquisition of an Auricon Cine Voice magnetic sound
camera as a result of a government grant, and last spring, an
extremely versatile Bolex silent
film camera was also acquired.
In the past, "Newscene" has
been produced in the school's own
studio located in the Forum
Building. The new show will now
be broadcast in full color, and
will benefit from an increased
availability of complex electronic
and mechanical visual effects of
the commercial studios.

These two units greatly increased
the versatility of the show. Onthe-spot interviews are nowpossible ·as well as filming of classroom situations and off-campus
news events. Filmed news stories
added a n e w dimension to the
show--a dimension which has just
begun to emerge.
As "Newscene's" broadcasting equipment improved, and as
Lane Community College grew
and matured, broadcasting students could cover more events,
which in turn invited more student interest. Viewers now get
first-hand information of events
which affect them, directly or indirectly: news used in Newscene
always pertains directly to the
campus and its students and staff,
or is general education news
which has an indirect influence
on the campus.
The change-over to -commercial television will not change
in the program's content or philosophy. The re will be m in o r
changes in its format, due to
the increase of available production techniques.
With Newscene, as with any
tool, worth depends on the use
that is made of it. Broadcasting students are still adjusting
to the sudden growth and acceptance of the show. LCC President Eldon Schafer says Lane
will be "pioneering" in a new
way for an educational institution by using a commercial broadcasting medium for
pub 1i c information. Hopkinson
added that "Newscene" will be
pioneering by combining classroom procedures with a public
information program.
Until studio time arrangements
can be worked out between KEZI
and KV .AL and the "Newscene"
staff, the program will continue
to be seen on PL3 every Friday night at 7:30. Sometime before ''Newscene" goes commercial, an all-campus open house
will be held.
Viewers are invited to comment on the program by writing
to Newscene, in care of the Mass
Communications Department at
LCC.

Senate holds back constitution
While the new ASLCC Constitution was tentatively adopted by
the Student Senate in early December, the document will have
to wait until approximately March 1, before it is brought before the student body for a vote,
according to Constitution Committee Chairman, Pa u 1 Christianson.
Christianson told the TORCH
this week that the delay can be
attributed to the fact that the
new by -laws are not yet ready.
''We didn't want to put the
constitution before the student
body without an equal opportunity
for the new by-laws to be displayed," Christianson explained.
He said the new documents "refer time and time again to each
other" and that if the constitution and by-laws were presented "as a whole, students
would be able to cross-reference
for complete understanding."
Interested persons may obtain
copies of both the old consti-

tution and by-laws at the Student
Activities Office, second floor
lobby of the Center Building.
Christianson explained that copies of the new constitution and
by-laws were not available, because they haven't been printed
yet.
When asked why a new constitution was needed Christianson
replied, "In the past we put
band-aids on the boat to keep
it from sinking. We adopted
policies to supplement the old
by-laws and constitution. With
even more revision there came
certain problems in interpretation."
"The new constitution gives
more power to the by-laws. We
want to word it so nothing is
left up to the imagination," he
emphasized.
The pending by-laws, a twenty
page document, will contain major revisions as well as minor
word changes and punctuation.

The innocent bystander•··--······"

A model for alienation
Editor's Note:
The following editorial comment, prepared· by Art Tegger, LCC
Language Arts instructor, was requested by the TORCH.
Dr. Lewis Case, in last week's TORCH, said the new planning model was in response to the frustrations and disappointment he perceived among the staff as a result of program cuts
and priority decisions made necessary by the budget. However,
the planning model, rather than offering a solution to the frustration and the feelings of division between staff and administration,
offers instead another model of why people are frustrated, and why
staff members think of themselves as ''us" and administrators
as "them" in an adversary relationship.
The planning model's basic assumptions serve as
show~
case for what is wrong with Lane's organization. The administration's management assumptions are not explicitly stated in the
planning model. In fact, the administrators did not recognize their
own assumptions until staff members began to question them. For
example, the chief committee, called the Task Force Committee, had,
in the original plans, six administrators, two staff and three students and one Board member. The authors of the model were surprised that the staff perceived this as a loaded group. The underlying assumption becomes clear: Neither staff nor students are
capable of knowing or acting in areas such as community relations,
instruction and student personnel. A related assumption is that
the LCC community cannot speak nor act for itself, but only through
administrators hired for specific functions. In reality, staff and
students are daily and vitally involved in all these areas mentioned,
perhaps more directly than the appropriately titled administrators.

a

The current proposed Task Force Committee is now projected
to have three administrators, three staff, three students and
one Board member. This is an improvement but does not change
the assumptions that some are definitely more equal than others.
The goals of LCC are not much discussed in this document,
strangely enough; but one goal that is mentioned reveals clearly
another underlying management assumption. That stated goal is
"performance objectives." Performance objectives refers to a personnel management technique where the management states the goals,
evaluates the performance and then rewards or punishes as indicated. The document's endless lir.es and boxes, spelling out the
power relationships, and all funneling back to the central administration, emphasizes this from-the-top-down organization. But do not
students, teachers and departments learn more, and function more
effectively when they define their own goals and evaluate their own
progress ?
Still, this does not answer the question of how such a model
was constructed on such undemocratic lines. Perhaps the answer lies
within the group dynamics of the administrative staff. They claim
there is much democracy and self-evaluation there. When a problem confronts the dean of instruction, he can lateral to the
ball to the dean of students, who can lateral to the business manager.
Eventually the whole team moves forward or it passes to the president. Irving L. Janis, a psychologist who has studied decision making, offers the corollary to Parkinson's Law in his article,Groupthink," (Psychology Today, Nov. 71): "The more amiability and
esprit · de corps there is among the members of a policy making
ingroup, the greater the danger that independent critical thinking
will be replaced by groupthink, which is likely to result in irrational dehumanizing action against outgroups." Who is outside
the administrative ingroup? St a ff, students and community. The
more the administrative ingroup talks to itself, the less it can
listen to others. The planning model only tinkers with the existing
fcrm, and does nothing to eliminate ingroup domination, and thus increases staff and student frustration and disappointment, the exact
opposite of its stated objective.
I would suggest an alternative that begins with throwing out
the model, neat little boxes and all.
Why not start with the people most involved-staff, students
and community? I propose informal groups in all areas of the
college and community to discuss goals, needs and priorities.
The entire college community would be involved in establishing
priorities. One would have, then, a feeling of personal identification with institutional goals.
•
Planning that begins with all those involved by the decisions
to ·be made recognizes too, that this involvement is necessary to
the well-being of the college community. The administration should
realize that all of us at LCC seekgratification in our jobs and study.
The staff does not work just for the money, in order to find
self-fulfillment and escape in our off hours. Most of us want esteem
and staisfaction through our careers. Students, too, do not want to .
postpone all sense of involvement for when they find employment
after college. There is no substitute for the feeling that we are
involved in the decisions that affect us and there is no answer
for our frustration when we are not.
Discussion groups should deal with alternativt! ways of relating to the college, different from the lines and boxes of theoretical authority. Hopefully, a new organization could eliminate the
abundant adversary relationships in which each group, whether
student, staff or administration, gains only at the cost of another
group.
New proposals could, however, suffer an old fate: being pigeonholed to oblivion. No one wishes to serve on a committee if it
generates only paper and no action. A prior commitment to change
is needed. Only it needs to be a commitment that involves the entire
LCC community, and it must involve an administration commitment
to listen to proposals and to implement them as they are ratified
by LCC's public.
Heform of Lane's structure is needed. I am glad the planning
model came out and focused mv thoughts on necessary change. But
the model does not seek reform; it merely revises and tinkers with
the present machinery. If some real reform is not instituted, morale
will c-0,ntinue to decline.

Two parly system saved

by Arthur Hoppe

President Nixon' s dramatic
revelation of his Vietnam peace
offers not only stunned the Nation, it came within a hair's
breadth of destroying the twoparty system in America.
For in the week that followed
the 43 Democrats running for
President cancelled a total of
207 major addresses, 312 press
conferences and 1407 kaffeeklatsches.
"After all," glumly said one
who was nailed by a reporter
while trying to sneak out of his
hotel room disguised as a chamber maid, "what's there to say?"
It seemed as though the President had now adopted every solution the Democrats had offered
to the country's ills -- from wage
and price and controls to a guaranteed annual income. They could
hardly attack him for that. So
each retired behind locked doors
to think up something to say.
And there each stayed.
By the time the primaries
began in March, few Democrats
bothered to vote -- few Democrats being able to remember the
names of the candidates. And so
the Democratic Convention opened in July with every single delegate uncommited. Not to mention
unenthusiastic. Indeed, a motion
was made to disband the party
and go home.
Clearly, the moment was ripe
for a dark horse to galvanize
the throng. One did -- the hitherto-unheard-of Homer T. Pettibone.

Pettibone, an alternate delegate from Decatur, was given
the podium because no one else
had anything to say. He electrified the crowd with a vitriolic
attack on President's Nixon's
deficit spending policies.
''Spend and spend, elect and
elect," cried Pettibone, "that's
all the Republicans know!"
The Democrats, who hadn't
heard an attack on Nixon in six
months, nominatell Pettibone by
acclamation. And he lived up to
their fondest expectations
-In his first campaign speech,
Pettibone ripped into the President's welfare reform plan.
"Coddling loafers saps individual
initiative," he thundered. "Let's
get these bums off the welfare
rolls and on to the payrolls!"
In his very next speech he attacked Mr. Nixon's wage and
price controls as a "desperate,
hare-brained scheme of afiscally irresponsible administration''
and "a clear threat to our free
enterprise system which made
this country great." When elected, he promised, he would remove
all controls i m mediate 1y and
" restore our cherished freedoms.''
This went over well with the
public, which was getting as tired
.ni

":II'

Or I' l predict that one

of controls as it was of welfare.
But what roused the Nation was
Pettibone's attack on the President's foreign policy.
First, he talked of Mr. Nixon
flying "all the way to Peking
and Moscow to cozy up to the
Communists." Then he demanded
to know who had sold the president his "no-win policy in Vietnam." And lastly he charged that
Dr. Kissinger's third cousin on
his mother's side was a known
friend of Alger Hiss!
By October, Pettibone was describing the Republicans as "the
party of treason" and contending
the President was at the very
least "soft on Communism/' if
not "a conscious tool of the
Communist conspiracy."

***

It looked like Pettibone in a
landslide. But in the last weeks
of the campaign, the President
balanced the budget, abolished
welfare, removed all controls and
declared war on China, Russia
and Albania. Thus was the twoparty system saved.
"Well, gentlemen," an angry
Pettibone .told the press in his
hour of defeat, "you won't have
Homer T. Pettibone to kick around any more.''

Letters to
the Editor
Dear Editor:
I wish to make a modest proposal. We know that the Vietnam Veterans Against the War
are petitioning for a referendum on whether or not to have
Oregon servicemen (and women)
serve in undeclared wars. Why,
I ask, do we stop here? Why
should the people of Oregon serve at all, in any branch of the
arn:ied forces, at anytime? I thtnk
we should petition for this.
While we are at it, I know
"everyone" hates the police,
pigs, the man or fuzz. So why
not petition to dissolve all police agencies? This would save
you money in taxes, and just
think, no more traffic tickets, no
fear at all from being arrested
for anything. Doesn't that sound
like the way to live free?
Of course, you may have to be
very careful on the highways at
first, while the people with poor
driving skills wipe each other
out. And '' ripping off'' from the
"Capitalist" would have to be
done right away, before someone
beats you to it, or before vigilantes are organized. I doubt
the United States Armed Forces
would do anything to control us
because I think we should have a
"live and let live" policy. After
all, we wouldn't give them any
man power, so why should they.
Let's get out the petitions and
get this Oregon Referendum thing
going full swing and do the job
right. I only wish I could be a
little more bold, but alas I can
only make this "Modest Proposal."
Sincerely,
David R. Culver

The human environm ent

To buy is human - to sell, divine
by Mikel Kelly
Free enterprise is a wonderful thing.
We can buy most anything these
days. When our identity's in
doubt, a shiny new car can fix
us right up. Status is for sale
all over town: clothes, furniture,
appliances, homes, cleanliness,
and after shave all have a way
of building better people, and it's
all available to the guy who's
willing to pay for it. But it seems
the only thing that isn't for sale
is a reliable future.
A sales pitch for survival has
unlimited possibilities, but Madison Avenue just can't touch it if
the demand doesn't show itself.
That's the way it works-ifpeople
don't want it, it can't be sold.
Right?
Wrong. Markets are invented
everyday.

important and the most serious of
all the problems now besetting
the human species. The problem
of avoiding nuclear war is more
immediate, but that of overpopulation is, in the long run, more
serious and more difficult to deal
with because it is rooted in our
own nature."
Well, that's probably true, but
it won't sell. Where's the zip?
Where's the pazazz?
In Biblical times it took a
thousand years for the population
of the world to double. Only 80
years ago, the number was half
of what it is today. And it will
double again in 35 years. Everyday the world's headcount is
150,000 people higher. In 25 years
there will be six billion of us
on the earth.

Do we really see a need for
feminine hygiene sprays; do we
really believe cigarettes won't
affect our health; and do we really
require the latest clothes every
year?
Just imagine what American
ingenuity could do for the population problem.
In an essay, "The World Population Problem," Sir Julian Huxley wrote, ''The worldpopulation
problem is to my mind the most

Very interesting (yawn), but so
what?
With doom lurking literally just
around the corner, how can we be
so concerned with bad breath and
dandruff? The population crisis is
out of control, but why? The answer (if you haven't caught on yet)
is simply an ineffective campaign. You can't stand up and yell
in people's faces. They'll go
away. They won't like you.

Priorities need twisting a little. That's not hard; salesmen
stay alive by twisting priorities.
How badly did you need that set
of encyclopedias? Couldn't you
have gone on living without that
one-owner, low mileage sedan?
You probably won't drop dead
tomorrow if you're the parent of
seven kids either, but what about
their kids? And what about two
or three generations from now?

A good public relations man
could really get things rolling in
the right direction:'' Be a REAL
man; show you CARE;" "Only a
slob could forget about our children;" "Make lov&-not babies."
Advertising can do wonders with
a little fear and guilt.
Or, the "you-can-be-a-s tudtoo" approach can work miracles. Picture Mr. Cool, surrounded by beautiful women, and Rod ·
Serling saying, "Since the operation, Henry hasn't had a minute
to himself."
Now that's more like it. Get
'em worked up. Make 'em think
they're missing out on something.
Brainwash the fools. It never
fails.

If we don't sell it soon, they'll

pass a law. They'll get pushy,
and then nobody will buy the idea.

Dear Dr:
Is air pollution really bad for
people?
Gasp!
Dear Gasp,
accumulating studies indicate
that when you inhale today's poisoned air, not only do the pollutant's damage your respiratory
system and place an extra burden on your heart, but they may
also strike other parts of your
body. Epidemiological studies
are also forging a link between
average every day air pollution
and both chronic and acute respiratory disease. Almost everyone today recognizes that air
pollution is bad for people as
well as animals and vegetation.
Dear Dr:
What should I do about constipation?
Irregularly yours,
Dear Yours,
Constipation is more often a
state of mind than a state of
bow e 1! Medically, constipation
means either very hard bowel

movements or feeling uncomfortable bet we en bow e 1
movements. ~dvertising media
to the contrary, there is no law
citing the need of a daily bowel
evacuation. "Irregularity" is not
a complaint unless you feel uncomfortable. If you really do have
a problem with constipation almost surely your diet is at fault.
Eat at regular intervals, be sure
you drink lots of fluids, and include more fruit and vegetables
in your diet. A stool softener is
helpful and can be taken daily.
Changes in bowel habits and oersistent constipation not responding to good diet and fluids can
be signs of disease. It is wise
to consult a physician in this
case rather than self medicating
with laxatives. Only as a last
resort, take a laxative. "More
doctors prescribe milk of magnesia than any other laxative"
goes the advertising blurb-that's because it's a MILD laxative-.

OWPC

iderifify Woman's
politicar place ·in society
· t o .'

Lane County's chapter of
the Oregon Women's Political
Caucus (OWPC) met last week
in Eugene at what a caucus
spokeswoman, Glenda Radcliff,
termed an "important directional meeting."
This Oregon chapter of the
National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC) vows to create a
politically aware and powerful
bloc of women voters and candidates. During the meeting at
Harris Hall, Feb. 4, the women
adopted concepts of local structure, standing committees, and
temporary by-laws. Local co-ordinators and chairwomen were
also selected.
Discussion centered around the
Caucus endorsing candidates for
public office. Ms. Radcliff stated somr mem1}3rs feared the
Caucus would become another
League of Women Voters with
no actual political power. others
maintained the necessity of the
group's bi-partisanship, and said
that actual endorsement would not
occur, rather, candidates would
be judged "acceptable" or otherwise by the OWPC in terms of
political awareness of women's
status. Resolution of the debate
w i 11 b e decided at statewide
level.
The Caucus seeks to unite women in "action against sexism,
racism, institutional violence and
poverty," according to the Statement of Purpose adopted by the
NWPC , July, 1971. The Statement of Purpose declares these
goals wil be accomplished by:
1) Rallying national and local
support for women candidates.
2) Training women to organize
caucuses on state and local level.
3) Registering new women voters.

Sorority to offer
scholarship grant
Beta Sigma Phi Sorority is offering a four year renewable tuition scholarship for a woman who
is returning to school to learn a
profession. The winner will be
selected on the basis of need.
Applications may be picked up at
the Financial Aids office and
should be returned to them no
later than Feb. 14.

on women"whose abilities have
been wasted; who sit at home;
and who have experienced ridicule or even hostility for daring
to express the hopes and ambitions that are natural to every

By organizing nation-wide, the
Caucus seeks avenues for increased consciousness of women
and their rights, initiation of
political power, and the fair use
of that power in changing "sexist and racist" laws.

interested i n women who are
"willing to take positions of responsibility."

Students make news
tlecause of the newly established Student News Bureau, television, radio, and the print
media are informing the public
about LCC students.
Student News Bureau is an addition to the Information and Publications Office at LCC run by
Larry Romaine. The Bureau is
aimed at providing various news
media with stories about LCC
students and alumni.
According to Bill and La Verna
Bauguess, feature writers for
the Bureau, "The purpose of the
Bureau is to put LCC and it's
students in the public eye by providing news of students on radio
and television, and in their hometown newspaper."
The Bureau is accepting stories that feature LCC students

with unusual abilities, interesting hobbies or projects, and students engaged in volunteer work
as well as students in unusual
situations or with unique pursuits.
Articles received by the Bureau are rewritten by Bill or
La Verna Bauguess and submitted to the student's home town
news media, if within the college
district. The individual media-newspapers, radio and televisio~hen determine if it is
news worthy for their publication
or air time.
Students and alumni may submit information about themselvez
or other students by contacting

Office, second floor Administration Building,

Resentment of old existence is the basis of a new lifestyle

by Bill Bridges
One of the motives behind the
Mexican-American search for a
unique lifestyle is "resentment,"
according to Jose Romero, a 30year-old Mexican American, who
recently joined the Ethnic Studies
here at LCC.
Romero was referring to the
attitudes of many young Mexican
Americans who resent their families and the type of existence
among the Chicano people living
in California slums.
Romero believes many young
Chicanos have exceedingly poor
self-concepts and feel that it is
useless to make any attempt toward a better way of life. Instead they accept the traditional
lifestyle of their parents and take
on the daily hum-drum of that
conditioned slum life.
However, smaller segments of
the Chicano race have refused
to accept this way of life, and

for many years now, have been
trying to change it. as Romero
sees it. the problem is they have
taken the wrong approach and
used the wrong methods.
The emphasis has been on material objects and physical appearance--clothes, hair styles
automobiles, which only serve as
temporary escapes from reality.
The kick-off began in the early
1940' s when a segment of the Chic an o population independently
emerged wearing pin st riped
suits, high waisted trousers, wide
brimmed hats and speaking a new
language concocted from the English and Spanish languages. This
group became known as the" Pachuco.''
"We are not sure how the
name Pachuco originated," says
Romero, "but it is probably one
of the various words made up
by combining E_
nglish and Spanish
terms." Romero says that this

habit--developing their own vern a cul a r--is common: some
terms are not understood by
other Spanish speaking Americans.
The Pachuco has always had
problems because of his unique
lifestyle, especially in the 40's,
during World War IT, when he
encountered resentful groups of
military men on leave in the Los
Angeles area. The famous "Zoot
suit riots," which brought much
injury, both physically and psychologically, to the Pachuco minority group; the conflicts were
severe and required military reserve units to quell both the service men and the fighting Pachuco.
Each decade since 1940 has
shown the Chicano's attempt to
be accepted somewhere in society. He has donned a different
attire and used different objects
to symbolize
his group. He
changes his clothes, adds to his

the study. Findings will be tabulated by members of OSPIRG's
professional staff. The backbone
of the kit is a publication which
instructs students how to take
water quality samples, gather
other evidence of pollution and
make formal complaints to appropriate governmental agencies.
"Our purpose is to improve
the quality of the waters in Oregon," Parkhurst said. "This
means stopping unpermitted pollution and reducing· to a legal
level those discharges which are
permitted.''
Key to the success of the effort,
according to Parkhurst, is getting
students from a variety of disciplines at each campus involved
with the research.
At LCC, kits are available
through the 00 PIRG Office in
Room 234 on the second floor of

and belongs to various groups,
and works with a program called

He has also worked with the

awards and honors from California State College, Los Angeles,
and in 1970 received a Ford Foundation Fellowship.

Two LCC journalism students,
as part of a class assignment,
recently conducted a poll, asking
the question, "Do you think it's
justified to expose a narcotics
agent?" Of the 120 persons polled, 64 agreed it was justified,
35 said it was not and 21 had
no opinion.
Many of those who thought narcotics agents should be exposed

said that the agents usually are
drug users themselves, and pick
on marijuana offenders.
One student, when asked his
views on the matter, commented,
"Any person who would be coming to a place of higher educ ation under the guise of a student
in order to trap and put -people
in jail, has to be a pretty low
person."

Suzan Mitchell of LCC was high

expecting "The Great Pumpkin,"
Dee Andros, to be lulled to sleep
by Enright's appointment. OSU
will be as tough to beat as ever
regardless of who's coaching the
Ducks. It is my opinion that
Enright can rise to the occasion
though.
He is going to install the option in the offense, and go to a
five-two-four defense. Now, just
maybe the University of Washington will have even a harder time
trying to beat the Ducks. Remember, Jerry Frei had a good record against the Huskies. He beat
them three times out of the last
four games.
The OSU-U of O basketball
game Saturday, Feb. 5 proved
one thing: basketball is a far
greater contact sport than in
past years, and I'm not sure that
I like that. There is too much
shoving and pushing.
The game left me agreeing with
OSU Coach Ralph Miller in that
three officials are needed in the
Pac-8. The officials are tooting
too many fouls on the big men,
and the smaller players are committing infractions on the bigger
players that go unseen, or they
are being ignored by the officials.
This may be a psychological
thing for the officials-a smaller player can get away with
more pushing and shoving, because of his height disadvantage.
In the past it seems that officiating was on an even keel,
neither favoring the big nor the
small man. For example: In the
title game in the 1963 Far West
Classic, Brigham Young University's John Fairchild fouled out
trying to check OSU's Mel Counts,
and the game was well officiated.

January athletes of month seledld-•••

Steve Woodruff

Ken Kime
by John Thompson

Ken Kime and Steve Woodruff
are the Torch Athletes of the
Month for January. Kime wrestles, and Woodruff plays basketball. They are both tremendous
competitors.
Kime says that when he was a
Sophomore at North Eugene High
his coach, George Kopellar, gave
him the biggest boost-the idea of
dedication, which has made him
a fine wrestler.
Giving his opponents the idea
that he is meek prior to a match
is one of the techniques Kime uses
as a successful wrestler.

Kime graduated from Willamette High School, where he
wrestled in the 157 pound class.
In his senior year he placed second in the District 5 A-1 MeeL
He lost to North Bend' s Robbin
Richards, who continued to win
the state championship.
The future is uncertain for
Kime as to four year college,
and continuing wrestling.
Steve Woodruff graduated from
North Eugene High School where
he played for Coach Barney Holland. Holland's coaching was very
helpful, especially defense and
fundamentals. states Woodruff. In

Fair chi 1ct 's 6-6 measurement
was no excuse for fouling Counts
in this game. OSU was favored
and did win the FWC Title.
Saturday night I saw a smaller player for the Ducks commit
fouls that weren't called. He must
know just when he can get away
with it. Obviously something must
, be done. So much for the officiating!
OSU's Freddie Boyd being held
to only six points is unbelievable.
Ken Strand did the job on him,
friends, and Ken's shooting was
much improved.
Oregon's Doug Little had another outstanding game with 24
points. Just maybe the Beavers
should start taking Little seriously.
It's true, folks. Sam Whitehead was not playing for the
Beavers due to personal problems. However, let's be fair:
The U of O's 6-10 center, Al
Carlson, was on the bench in a
suit and not a basketball suit.
Oregon's Coach Dick Harter says
'that he and Carlson have an
agreement about missing classes: When he misses he doesn't
play. Carlson apparently missed
a class (or classes).
Some may argue with me, but
the key to the Duck's win was
Paul Sunderland. This modest,
friendly young man scored only
six points, but they were key
points. They came when the Ducks
really needed them.
The biggest reason for the two
victories over OSU for Oregon
may just be Dick Harter. He's
doing a heck of a job, and I
liked his giving assistant Ray
Edleman credit for an important
adjustment Ray made.
Paul Valenti, former head basketball coach at OSU, and now
the assistant athletic director at
OSU, was in the stands at Mac
Court Saturday night. He looks fit
enough to lead the Beavers once
again. Fans, this guy was some
kind of a competitor. Nobody took

second to Paul Valenti in desire,
and that includes Coach Harter.
One more thing: There wasn't
a coach in the country who could
match Valenti's controlled, very
disciplined offense, and his tenacious defense. Seeing this fine
coach in the stands left me in a
state of reminiscence. Who can
forget that Pac-8 Title in 1966,
or the Championship Game in the
1964 FWC, where am held a favored Tennessee team to just 27
points? The Valenti Era was a
great one-and maybe OSU fans
are beginning to realize that.
Back to Saturday's game. Don't
fault Neil Jurgenson! The exChurchill High star scored an
lmpressive 18 points and played
very well defensively. The exBeaverton flash, Steve Erickson,
had 26 points.

Steve's senior year, North finished fifth in the State Triple A
Tournament.
Di~sire is 90 per cent of the
game, according to Woodruff.
The TORCH asked Woodruff if
he thinks of basketball as a
contact sport; Woodruff replied,
"Really!"
He attended LCC because of
its fine business program and he
could live at home, and because
it was economical to attend LCC.
Steve wants to attend an out-ofstate four year college, where he
will major in business administration.
Feeling the same as Kime,
Woodruff states that good coaching and dedication are the reasons why he excels.

Lucky draft lottery winners _at • LCC ponder military fate
•

by Doug Cudahey

Wednesday, Feb. 2, saw what
may be the last full scale draft
lottery in this nation.
The first 10 call up priorities
in the 1973 draft fell to 19 yearolds born on these dates in 1953:
1-March 6;_ 2--March 7;
Aug. 3; 4--April 21; 5-J'uly 21;
&--Dec. 25; 7-Aug. 9; 8---Aug.
17; ~ct. 25; I(}--()ct. 31.
The drawing was the fourth annual draft lottery since Congress
authorized Nixon, in 1969, to conduct the draft on a random basis,
and abolish most deferments.
According to Selective Service
Director Curtis W. Tarr , the
numbers for call-up in 1973
should be below 125.
Upon release of the draft lottery numbers, the TORCH interviewed 19 year -old men attending LCC who were directly affected by the lottery drawings.
The following are comments
and feelings of a few of these
young men.

"I think the draft is a bad deal.
If you are old enough to go over
there and kill, you should be able

"I'd like the draft abolished. I
don't think there should be a war,
doesn't everybody?"

"I feel that you should support
your government and not be kicking about it. Because my number
is right down there, I'll be one of
the first to go, so I will make the
best of it. I don't want to go over
there, but if we can help them out,
it is a good thing."

THIS WEEK

Residents of the Leaburg-Vida-McKenzie Bridge area held a
community meeting with representatives of the Lane County District Attorney's office, at which they voiced their disapproval of the
way the case of a hit-run driver was handled. It was revealed that:
it took two hours for a police officer to come on the scene, that
evidence against the suspect was lacking because of sloppy police
work, and that even the trial judge chastized the D.A. 's office for
the sketchy evidence in the case. The residents felt that the police
had devoted all of their time to the -Creswell inurder-robbery which
occurred the same night, and had not devoted enough time to the
accident.

In Vietnam US air attacks increased to the highest number
since the policy of 11 protective reaction" was instituted. American
bombers dropped 500 tons of explosives near the Laotian border
of the DMZ. On the ground, fighting also seemed more fierce than
in recent weeks. There were two pre-dawn raids by enemy commandos
on American helicopter installations, and the fear of a massive
enemy offensive during the Tet N,~w Year to coincide with Nixon's
visit to China continues.

At the trial of black Communist Angela Davis this week,
Ms" Davis' sister and seventeen other protesters were arrested
under tough regulations governing such actions around the San Jose
courthouse. Th,9 defense attorney for Ms. Davis said that the action

A large contingent of foreign journalists is covering the Angela
Davis trial. Representatives of Europe's largest newspapers and
magazines have a pp Ii e d for credentials to allow them into the
courtroom. Many of these mp;i are interested in finding out if Ms.
Davis' charges stem from actual crime or, as they seem to think,
from her admission of Communist party memb,~rship.

Two New York policemen, who were partners in Vietnam before
joining the force, were shot to death on a lower east side street
in New York. The officers had requi~sted duty together in that high

Dr. Timothy Leary, who escaped from a mm1mum security
prison in California, has been asked to leave the Swiss state in
which he has been living. Leary has been writing a book on psychology there, and had applied for asylum. The request was turned
down. Usually expulsion from one Swiss state means explusion from
the country. The reason for the expulsion was that he was a bad
influence on the nation's youth.

"I don't like the draft. I am
married and have a kid. If I get
yanked, there goes my schooling,
the whole thing. I would have to
get to know my kid all over again.
If you can't win a war, why fight?
There is no sense in risking your
life for it. There is no way a
person can benefit from it.''

Need saving s plan?

The Lane Memorial Blood Bank
has a type of savings plan for
students and staff of LCC called the Blood Donor Club. Members between the ages of 18 to 65
benefit in two ways: they have
a blood savings account for use
in time of need, and they help
the community at the same time.
W h e n Scott Wright, manager
a n d administrator of the blood
bank was asked if any peculiar blood type was needed he
replied, 11 All blood types are
needed to maintain a constant
supply, and we ask that all donors
be in good health."
He described a donor of good
health as a person not on medication or drugs, and free of any
disease such as hepatitis, or any
other liver disorder. He continued by saying 11 this protects
both the donor and receiver. If
a donor has sugar diabetes and
we take his blood, chances are

Tensions in the North, and relations between the British
Commonwealth and the Republic of Ireland have steadily deteriorated
since the"internment" policy instituted six months ago. The policy
calls for internment of suspected IRA agents without due process.
The law calls for the detention of any suspect for 30 days without
even necessary cause, while that suspect's recorj is checked.
Irish Catholics have long criticized the interrogation procedure
used by the British on suspects. A report last year found that suspects were often subjected to what amounted to torture: suspects
: kept standing for days without sleeps, and amplified electronic
noise intended to intensify a suspect' s feelings of isolation. The
British maintain that the internment policy is necessary.

The entire tone of Irish-English relations has been changed
since the "bloody Sunday," and most observers feel that the
situation will get much worse before any improvement is seen.

In Northern Ireland's most explosive week, the civil rights
movement of the North persisted in its efforts to lead a protest
march in Newry. British troops had forbade the march but the civil
rights group went ahead with it anyway. At the point where the
British soldiers were ordered to turn the march back, the civil
rights organization turned back voluntarily. So a peaceful march of
some 30,000 people of both Northern and Southern Ireland was
peaceful, dispite omens to the contrary.

The Food and Drug Administration advised this week that
human antibiotics such as penicillin be banned from use in animal

A donor can give one pint of
blood every 90 days, and the
blood donated is good for 21
days from the time it is drawn.
Because blood is a living tissue, dextrose is used in each
plastic container, as a food for
the blood. Also in the same storage bag are two other chemicals
to prevent the blood from coagulating.
Whole blood is used in surgery and given to leukemia patients. For heart patients, the
plasma is removed and they are
given the red blood cells that
supply oxygen to his body. If
the whole blood were given to
heart patients without removing
the plasma, it would over work
their hearts, according to Wright.
Plasma, a straw-like colored
liquid, goes to the top of the
plastic storage bag; this is a by- •
product of whole blood that can
be taken off of the 21 day old
blood and saved by being frozen
for five years. Plasma is used
on people in shock and for patients who have been severely
burned. The clear liquid that
comes out of a burn is plasma.
This is why burn patients are
given this part of the blood.
