LCC news show gets Oregon's largest community college commercial air time weekly newspaper Board grants permission for Newscene to expand on KVAL and KEZI TV TV instructor operates equipment Vol. 7 No. 14 Feb. 8, 1972 Instructor Michael Hopkinson takes the controls while he demonstrates the use of LCC's television console. Some new and better broadcasting equipment will play an important role in the wider community coverage of "Newscene" beginning this weekend, (Photo by Barry Hood) 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. P.ag_e_2 ____T_ORCH Feb. 8 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. /" (' •• ;,,"< ... •"' •" i' •"' .~ ,;,. /' " . " :- ~"- f' 'I, > ), II '\ •" ,. '\ .)Ir, ,. •• 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.''

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."

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 the Information and Publications 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 designed to give students a" stepby-step" guide to pollution detection. The kit is aimed at uncovering sources of water pollution, the nature of the pollution and the chemical content of the effluent.

"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.

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." r------------------•I I II "t' I I II I I INDGROWTH I I I II I I LCC Bookstore ~------------------~ I "We 're right on campus" I You deserve a tasty Cheeseburger today.

While conducting classes here at LCC, Romero says he will concentrate on the Chicano ethnic lifestyle and bring about a better and more thorough awareness of the Mexican American's needs regardless oftheirbackgroundor ethnic group.

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.

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 Oregon Gossip Dick Enright's selection as the University of Oregon's new head football coach is a good selection. He's a winner, friends! At Gardena High in Los Angeles, Enright racked up 75 wins and only 5 losses in eight seasons. I hope the Oregon Alumni aren't '.· · feh 8 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.

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. Bill Rogers Ken Swanson Greg Osuna No. 36 "I think the draft is a bad deal. If you are old enough to go over there and kill, you should be able to vote as to whether or not the draft is a good system. I don't want any part of the war." *** Steve Vann Dick· Paliniak- No. 11 "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 11 against the protesters was blatantly unconstitutional." He called for an easing of restrictions regarding such peaceful protestso 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 crime area. *** 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.
