OCCSA members endorse increased veterans benefits

Eleven member schools of the Oregon Community
College Student Association (OCCSA) participated in a
state-wide section meeting last Sunday, Feb. 27, in the
Lane Cafeteria.
The morning was spent in regional group meetings
in which the schools considered what matters to bring
before the delegates as a whole. Following a break for
lunch, the member schools assembled for the section
meeting.
During the section meeting, the OCCSA Veterans
Commission recommended that the association supporf a
bill currently in the US House of Representatives that
would increase veterans benefits. The Oregon Student
Lobby echoed the recommendation and suggested that individual schools send students to lobby for the bill's passage. Wally Lien, OCCSA president, then urged the representatives to return to their schools and encourage their
student governments to send lobbyists to Washington D. C.
to work with the Oregon Student Lobby.

The association also discussed the possibility of including extra-curricula r school activities on students'
permanent records.
Mt. Hood Community College student body president
Paul Carrier asked the association to endorse the idea of
a Community Appreciation Day during which the state
community colleges could express their thanks for the
support their communities have given them.
The next meeting of the association will be their annual Spring Convention, to be held April 6, 7, and 8 at
Mt. Hood Community College. The purpose of the convention will be to elect state officers and select delegates to
the Oregon Community College Association convention.
Following the close of the meeting, Dennis Lamm,
OCCSA Veterans Commission chairman, gave Robert
Darrough a letter to present to Lane's Student Senate. In
the letter Lamm expressed his concern at Lane's lack of
involvement in the commission. He pointed out that the

Previous

commission had counted on the Lane veterans organization
to serve as a model for the member schools.
Lamm concluded, "I feel that Lane Community College owes the entire Commission a written apology.''
After the meeting Sharon Danford, OCCSA coordinating chairman for Lane, pointed out that the custodial
staff failed to set up the cafeteria for the P1eeting.
Ms. Danford found out that a custodial staff foreman
had been informed by Walter VanOrden, buildings superviser, that the rooms had not been set up because, "we
cannot afford this; no funds were budgeted."
Ms. Danford pointed out an LCC Room Reservation
form was routed to VanOrden's office and that the form
indicated that the Student Senate had assumed the responsibility of paying the custodial staff fees.
A food services employee contacted VanOrden personally Sunday morning to explain the situation and VanOrden replied, "It's out of my hands.''

decision reversed while
student oriented input cited as reason

The ASLCC Senate, reversing its previous decision, voted last
Thursday, Feb. 24, to send ASLCC President Omar Barbarossa and
Tony Rogers, Vets Club Senate representative, to the American
Association of Junior Colleges (AAJC) convention in Dallas, Texas.
The Senate felt that by sending student delegates to the convention,
they would be able to provide student oriented input to the proceedings.Jim Martin, ASLCC second vice-president, submitted his resignation to the Senate. He explained that he had ''overextended'' himself:
"I just don't have the time to handle the responsibilities of the title,"
he stated. Jim Delaite, senator-at-large , also resigned at the same
meeting.
Pending Senate approval, Robert Darrough has been appointed
acting second vice-president by Barbarossa to fill out the remaining
term of office until the next student elections, Spring Term.
Two Senate positions still remain open--senator-a t-large and
freshman social science senatorial positions. Students interested in
these positions may fill out petitions available in the Student Government Office, Center Building.
Under officers' reports, Paul Christianson, Constitution Committee chairman, informed the Senate that the committee had completed its revision of the ASLCC Constitution. Ratification of the
constuution will require a 2/3 vote of the Senate and student body.
The Senate withheld action of the constitution until the by-laws have
been revised.
In other business, Rob Williams, Senate Representative for the
Vietnam Veterans Against the War, requested Senate sanction to conduct a voter's registration drive on campus. The League of Women
Voters has agreed to supply the registrars. The drive is tentatively
planned for the second week of Spring Quarter. The Senate approved
the plan and voted to allocate ten dollars for advertising costs.
Lyndia Wilt, a spokesman for the Lane Chapter of Aid to
Dependent Children (ADC), reported to the Senate the result of the
ADC lobbying effort against House of Representatiye Bill #I (HRl).
The Senate had previously allocated $2,000 for ADC mothers to
travel to Washington D.C. to lobby against the bill
Ms. Wilt concluded, "I think we'll get some pretty good results
from this effort." She pointed out that the women, in addition to
talking to individual senators, were able to testify before the US
Senate Finance Committee.

Works in a drawer

Raymond Wiktorski demonstrates the complexity
of the computers he deals with everyday. Wiktorski, a student at LCC, gains Cooperative Work
Experience by working for Southern Pacific Railroad in Eugene. At LCC, 250 students are enrolled
in the Cooperative Work Experience Program. Of
these, 180 are receiving pay for their learning

experience and 80 are getting college credits. CWE
Coordinator Bob Way says, "65 per cent ofall LCC
students are working anyway. It's our thought that
if a student must work, why not get credit for it?"

Office and begin again.

The innocent bystander

A new dish: Peking Dick

Student as consumer

Two items came out of last week's Senate meeting that relate to
the emergence of the student as a politically conscious entity. The
Senate voted to send two student delegates to the convention of American Association of Junior Colleges (an organization of college administrators) and to authorize a voters registration drive on campus to
get students registered.
The idea of sending student delegates is part of a nation-wide
effort originated by the National Students' Association to increase
student participation in the convention. On the surface the idea may
appear futile because the students will not have a vote at the convention. However, the students will not be powerless. The appearance
at the convention of students in large numbers should alert the other
delegates that students expect to have a voice in decisions that may
affect their educational environment.
Students have begun to re-evaluate their role in relation to
colleges. They have discovered that it was not uncommon for some
college administrators to regard students in the same terms as buildings or textbooks. The implication of this view is that students exist
to serve the institution. These administrators seem to believe that
the mere existence of the institution is its own justification and that
students are merely another element of the system.
If education is regarded as an industry that produces a product
to be sold to a specific market, the student becomes the consumer
and the product is a college degree. It would be hard to imagine
an industry ignoring consumer response to its product.

Wrestlers lose out

Two LCC wrestlers, Murray Booth and Ken Kime, as a result
of their excellent performance in a Regional Meet in Idaho, Qualified to go to the national championships in Minnesota. However,
a circuitous administrative decision has denied Lane an opportunity
to gain national recognition. The original argument ran that the college
did not have the funds ($34). When it was pointed out that there were
sources outside the college that were willing to donate the money,
the administration still balked, perhaps thinking that it would set
a precedent they couldn't always fulfill. They needn't have worried.
It will probably be some time before Lane again has athletes qualify
for this type of national competition.

Much to the surprise of all
the experts, Mr. Nixon's trip to
China actually resulted in tremendous changes in, to start with,
Mr. Nixon.
The problem was the parties,
late hours and the numerous
toasts in the insidious Chinese
liquor, mao tai. Mr. Nixon had
devoted his entire adult life to
avoiding parties, late hours and
hard liquor. So he simply wasn't
prepared.
Anyone who watched the television coverage of the very first
banquet in Peking could clearly
see what was happening. After
thirty or forty toasts in mao tai,
Mr. Nixon suddenly left the main
table and began wandering around
the room, clinking the glass of
whomever he could reach. "Seize
the day, boy!" he appeared to be
saying "Bottoms up!"
What happened to Mr. Nixon as
a result of this riotous living
should have been expected. It
happens to virtually everyone who
first tries partying, late hours
and strong drink late in life.
He liked it.

***
The first person to have any
inkling of the change that had

overtaken Mr. Nixon was, of
_
course, Mrs. Nixon.
They were in the East Room
one evening not a week after their
return from China, she later
confided to friends, when she put
down her knitting and said to him
as was her nightly custom: "It's
ten o'clock, dear--time for your
Ovaltine."
Mr. Nixon, who had been sitting there with a far-away look
in his eye, suddenly clenched his
fist and pounded it on the arm of
his chair. "The hell with my
Ovaltine," he cried, leaping up,
"where's the Scotch?"
The last thing Mrs. Nixon remembers before falling asleep is
Mr. Nixon lying on the couch,
one shoe off, tie askew, drink in
hand and chewing on a cigar while
talking to Dr. Henry Kissinger on
the telephone:
"Hank, baby, you're a real
swinger. Tell me another one of
your traveling salesman jokes. I
know it's 3 a.m., but they really
make me laugh and laugh. Pat,
wait till you hear this one. lt'1,·
about this traveling salesman who
comes to the farmhouse and ... "
The next morning the President's daily 7:30 a.m. staff briefing was cancelled. In fact, it was
never held again.
But the public was unaware of
the change in their Chief Executive for months. There were m1t-

urally rumors. For one thirgState
dinners now seemed to last till all
hours; the guest list usually included Jill St. John, Jackie
Gleason and other "fun people";
and the press was barred from
covering what went on.
In Independence, former President Truman complained to
police that some drunk kept calling him in the middle of the
night wanting to "talk peace."
But the change became obvious
when a grinning Mr. Nixon appeared on television we a ring
sideburns below his ears, a fireengine red sports coat and a
peace-symbol necklace in lieu of
a tie. "Hi out there, guys and
do 11 s," He began cheerfully.
"Here's the scoop on the economy ... "

***

Needless to say, this kind of
lollygagging had an overwhelming
effect on the election that November. Mr. Nixon won in a landslide.
For the fact was that Mr.
Nixon's greatest problem in politics had always been that not
enough people liked him very
much. Admired him, yes; liked
him, no.
It wasn't that he was not a
serious, dutiful, right-thinking,
extremely sober leader. It was
that he was.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
Student government has often
been labeled as unresponsive
and aloft from the whole of our
student body. Perhaps so.
I am a student and a department representative in Art and
Applied Design.
Last Saturday, I attended the
LCC vs. Linn-Benton basketball
game. The crowd was large and
the action fast as our guys won.
They are now in a tournament,
and need and deserve support.
Murray Booth won a wrestling championship yet cannot go
to the national championships.
School policy forbids this. Would
a musician, artist, mechanic, or
actor be so hindered in the pursuit of excellence.
We all have our areas of involvement and our personal achievements may mean little to
others. I feel we must be open
minded of others and permit them
to "do their own thing."
Chuck Packnett

Dear Editor:
As a student of Lane Community College, I have been very
pleased with the relaxed casual
atmosphere. There is one place
though I find where some students a r e t o o r e 1 a x e d a n d
casua;l--that is in the library.
Ins'tead of a quiet refuge for
reading or studying, the library
seems more like a social gathering place for those who wish
to visit, girl watch or even catch
up on sleep. The disturbance
created by these students moving
furniture around for a more comfortable sleeping arrangement or
milling around talking and laughing makes for a place that is
difficult to use for serious work.
I feel the library should be the
one place a student can be assured of being able to study undisturbed . Surely if these students require a place for their
social activities and sleeping

facilities, they can find a place
other than the library.
I would like to see better
library rules which can be enforced so the students who are
not in the library for its intended
use, will know their behavior is
not appreciated or to be tolerated.
Sincerely,
Daphne Rivers

Choir performan ce
features soloists
by Daniel Kern
The Lane Community College Choir, under choral director
Wayte Kirchner, will perform "Catulli Carmina'' by Carl Orff
on Tuesday evening, March 7, 1972 at 8 p.m. in the new Springfield High School auditorium. "Catulli Carmina" is a selection of
poems from the works of the Roman poet Gaius Valerius Catullus,
set to music by Orff.
Two guest soloists will perform with the 100 choir members.
They are Dorothy Berquist, soprano, James Stanard, tenor. Both
soloists have previously performed with the U of O Choir and have
made other appearances throughout the state. James Stanard is also
a voice teacher at LCC.
"One of the most unusual aspects of this performance, explained Kirchner, is the accompaniment which includes four pianos,
all playing different things simultaneously, and four timpani (large
kettle drums). This group is also unusual because this type of music
is not normally played by a choir; nice melody lines and beautiful
harmonies. It is mostly very rhythmical, ritualistic or tribalistic,
with driving rhythms throughout the music. The words are all sung
in Latin."
The piece was begun in 1930 when Carl Orff set to music
a selection of Valerius' poems: Orff then added a prologue in
1943, with a Latin text written for himself.
The rhythmical e 1em en t, according to Kirchner, plays a
dominating role in the structure of this music. Kirchner explained:
"These 'Songs of Catillus' sketch the story of the poet's passion
for the promiscuous Lesbia, as she is called in the poems. Orff
frames this story with his own caustic commentary on the conflict of passion versus wisdom, youth versus age."

Businessmen seelc vets
To bring hundreds of unemployed veterans in the count1 together with employers in the Eugene-Springfield area will be the
purpose of an all day JOBS Fair
Wednesday, March 1. The Fair,
sponsored by The National Alliance of Businessmen Veterans
Council will be held in the Convention Plaza at the Lane County
Fairgrounds.

The Veterans Council will provide tables and chairs where each
employer can interview the veterans, take applications and pass
out literature on his particular
business. Each firm will occupy
its own booth, and will be identified by signs.
Mike Miller, of the State Employment Office, calls the project
"an excellent opportunity for local employers and prospective
employees to get together and
check each other out."
Prior to the JOBS Fair (7:30
a.m.), there will be a breakfast at the Eugene Hotel for representatives of companies participating. The JOBS Fair itself
will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
and the Veterans Council encourages all unemployed veterans to
attend.

The human environment

• Learning to live with it all

by Milc·el Kelly

The scientific community has
issued a number of significant
warnings in recent years that
we should consider. Probably the
one that stands out most is how
humanity is on its way to extinction. It is a grim prospeGt, but
look on the bright side. It's quite
possible we won't become extinct. It is, in fact, conceivable
that we will just slowly adapt
to our changing surroundings.
People are experts at adapting.
How do you suppose a young man
gets through boot camp? The antlike. existence of big city commuters is simply routine, as far
as the ants are concerned.
Maybe, day after day we can
adjust to that city air, foul water, the chemicals and metals
entering our bodies, and learn to
live with it all. Through exposure
and natural selection, we could
eventually develop an immunity to
all the things that today we consider unhealthy.
Our environmental hang-ups
would dissolve; it would be ideal.
We wouldn't have all these obnoxious students running around
making noise about corrupt businesses and dishonest government. Corporations could get
back to the job of producing and
selling. The economy would be
booming again -- just like the

good old days.

***

Picture two st a r-struck lovers, strolling arm in arm
through a purple photo-chemical
mist, whispering sweet nothings,
and gingerly counting the colors
of an oil-streaked seashore.
A spellbound show-and-tell audience might stare in disbelief
as Jimmy brags about the time
he saw the sun during his summer vacation trip to ''the" National Forest.
The oldtimers would be scoffed at for their ridiculous lies
of how trees used to grow by
themselves-"not at all like the
commercial, plastic ones we have
now," And no one would tolerate whoppers like, "Before the
West Coast was paved, there
were wild animals running loose
in the land, houses were made
of wood, and people were too primitive to make their own oxygen."
Just like animals in a zoo,

people would never have had it
so good. Synthetic foods would
keep us all fat and happy; technology would serve our every
need; and once a year we might
be allowed a trip to the National
Forest, to commune with nature.
As the demand for "forest-going" exhibits a growing capacity
for profit, an expansion program
could be initiated. Newer and
taller trees could be synthesized.
A wider r ange of waterproof animals could be assembled and installed throughout the wilderness. A more sophisticated system of parking, turnstiles, and
"inn e r - f o rest" concessions
would be in order to accomodate
the growing hordes of nature lovers.

* :t *

Oh yes, it would be splendid,
and all of it without this needless worry about the environment. The whole thing's a little
like sawdust-makes you want to
spit.

CW E-d iffer ent mea ning s for
diff eren t LCC students:
The Cooperative Work Experience Program (CWE) at LCC may
offer an income, or college credits, or both to students who take advantage of it.
The program is flexible and can be initiated from either of
two starting places. If a student is already employed at a job related to his major field of study, he is eligible, through Cooperative
Work Experience (CWE), to get college credit for the time he
spends at work. If he is pursuing a particul ar program of study at
LCC, it is possible that CWE coordinators may find him a job in
the community, thus allowing him to receive experience, wages,
and credit all at once.
According to CWE Coordinator Bob Way the program ''Lets
the student have an idea of what the field he's studying for is really
like." He points out that the grades of students in the program are
generally higher than the average student's. "The student who's
working in his field of study knows the best questions to ask in the
classroom because he realizes what his weakest areas are." And,
said Way, "the CWE student gets necessary experience, which will
help him when he ,looks for a job.''
When asked just how a person could get into the CWE Program,
Way said, "First he gets ahold of the office. We arrange an interview with one of our coordinators, and find out what the student would
like to do." The coordina tor arranges for the student to select an
employer, based on his interests , work experiences, qualifica tions
and the type of work he desires.
"On the other hand, a student, already employed, may be eligible
for credit," said Way. In this case, he petitions to the Cooperative
Work Experience Office, determining whether or not his job meets
the requirements for receiving credit. The student may get credit
for working if his job relates to his major field of study; if he's in
at least his second term at LCC; and, if not working, he has sufficient blocks of free time to hold down a job. SFE credit is given to
students for their cooperative work experience at the rate of one
credit for three hours of work per week.
Every field of study at LCC is eligible under the CWE or SFE
program s, and a student may earn up to 15 credits per term through
SFE college credit for any valid learning experience, whether it's
research, volunteer work, or teacher assistance.
Said Way, "65 per cent of all LCC students are working anyway. It's our thought that if a student must work, why not get credit
for it?"
He reminded that CWE should not be confused with either Job
Placement or Work Study.
With the exception of the medical field, (paramedfoal and paradental) the CWE Office has little trouble in finding jobs for its
students. When asked why the, CWE Program has such outstanding
success at putting students to work while Job Placement and State
Employment offices do not, Way responded, "Genera lly, employers
on
- are going this route. They puf an understandable preference
students with experience and interest in their particul ar field."
CWE credit, in most cases, applies toward veterans' benefits
the same as credit for other. courses. Students signing up for CWE
must inform the CWE Office they are receivin g GI benefits to avoid
payments being jeopardized.
"This program is one of the biggestthings to take place at LCC,"
said Way, "because it encompasses the whole campus. We hear
students yell for courses with relevance; this could be the answer
they' re looking for."
The CWE Program bases its operation on the old theory that
education is not worth much without experience. Bob Way's opinion
of the community employers participa ting in the program illustrates this: "We always refer to employers as 'field faculty.' They
do the teaching.''
To find out more about the CWE or SFE program s, contact the
CWE Office, located on the second floor of the Apprenticeship
Building.

Two complaints that students
usually level at academic colleges are that the schools teach
scholastic idea 1s rather than
practica l application, and that
students may put in four years
of college study before they realize that they don't enjoy working
in their chosen field.
These two problem s are alleviated, says Billie Ortis, by
Cooperative Work Experience.
Ms. Ortis, who is majoring in
Law Enforcement Correcti ons at
LCC, explained "It puts me in a
position to evaluate different programs, plus if gives me an opportunit y to get field experience
with the Oregon Correcti onal Division. I see exactly how it benefits the juveniles I deal with."
Ms. Ortis went on to say that

CWE, a division of Supervised
Field Experience at LC C, provides flexibilit y in making the
final decision concerning which
avenue of education she will follow, just at the point (her sophomore year) when she needs this
flexibilit y the most.
Ms. Ortis works with Juvenile
Parole Officer Virginia Durham
for seven hours each week, and
she puts in eight hours at Salem each week with the adminis trative end of the Oregon Correction Division .
"I am working with Virginia
Durham now, and we deal directly with young girls who have
been in and out of Hillcres t (Oregon's juvenile female correctio n
institutio n)." However she said
that as the term progresses she
will be given her own case load
and a chance for direct experience in her field.
With a philosophy of working
with young people to help them
with their problems before they
get into serious trouble, Ms.
Ortis has decided that she wants
a career in counseling juveniles .

Hofeld is in Lane's Cooperative Work Experience program (CWE), which is a part of

On the weekends for two weeks, Hofeld works
at Eugene Aircraft from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
gaining valuable experience which will help him

Asked about the kind of job he would like
to work in, Hofeld said. "I would like to get

Hofeld is working for his associate degree in
Flight Technology, which requires such courses
as physics, math, English, economics, drafting,
and health education.
When asked what he thought about the CWE
program, Hofeld said, "well, its a pretty good

Raymond Wiktorski, a student at LCC and a
computer programmer at Southern Pacific Railroad, here in Eugene, says "The Cooperative
Work Experience program (CWE) gives the student
an opportunity to work with the exceptions. That
is, the varying amount of unusual problems that
arise during the course of a day that require
an on-the-job worker to have experience and
knowledge of the equipment he or she is working
with."
Wiktorski was speaking primarily of his
own encounters with the problems he faces
daily while working with two very complex computers on his job at Souther Pacific.
Wiktorski says he feels that, "A student
should gain the basic knowledge of his profession
in the classroom activities and from the textbooks, but in actual on-the-job situations there
may not be a set 6f rules to guide the student
with odd problems, only an experienced worker
with a broadened knowledge of actual on- thejob problematic sutuations can be thoroughly efficient and solve problems in the minmum amount
of time."
Speaking of other advantages offered the student by CWE Wiktorski says, "It is valuable
to the student in determining whether or not the
job will meet the student's expectations. If an
individual is not pleased with the job there is
, an early opportunity to alter the curriculum or
change it entirely."
•
Wiktorski learned of the CWE program from
a counselor while arranging his own curriculum
at LCC. He began his career as a customer
engineer for a computer manufacturer about six
years ago, and gained a substantial working
•knowledge of computers; later was sent to IBM
school by his present empoyer.
Wiktorski has completed about 80 credit hours
at LCC and is presently planning to enter ·
the U of O in the Fall Term next year.
"I will be transferring only about five credit
hours" he said, "but the hours in my case are
not so important as will be the record of work
experience that may be valuable to me later."

Bob Canty, a biology major at LCC, is receiving job training at Eugene Water and Electric Board's (EWEB) water plant. LCC's Supervised Field Experience (SFE) training program
provides him with experience in the field of
Environmental Technology. Canty also receives
five academic credits for his experience which
can be applied towards his major.
Canty is "officially, an operator trainee"
at EWEB, which means he is involved with the
various aspects of plant operation. He performs
chemical tests on the water, hourly monitering
checks of gauges and maintenance on water filters.
Canty feels that the SFE program gives him an
opportunity to obtain valuable learning experience
in the field of his interest. He said it provides
him with "things you just don't get from reading
a book."

Well, LCC head basketball
coach Irv Roth, has done it again,
friends. That's correct, the Titans are in the playoffs for the
second year in succession.
Last year they didn't fare so
well, losing the first game in the

playoffs at Mt. Hood C.C., where
it took only one game to be eliminated. They had 17 wins and
seven losses last year.
This year, with the school's
best season record ever, they are
20-.and seven, and finished with 11
wins and only five losses in
OCCAA Conference play.
The Titans won four straight

f ense is cited by Coach Roth as
the reason for their late season
surge. "We've had more determination on defense recently, but
we've been capable of this before," stated the successful LCC
basketball boss.
Coach Roth is in his second
year as the Titan's boss. He
graduated from Silverton High
School, where he played football,
basketball, and baseball. From
Silverton he attended Willamette
University in Salem, where he
played such a fine brand ofbaseball that he caught the eye of the
Pittsburgh Pirates National League Organization, who signed him
to a contract.
He played in the Cal State League for the Modesto franchise
until the service beckoned. He
spent two years in Germany for
the army.
Upon completing his service
obligation, he became a teacher
at Springfield High School, where
he coached JV basketball from
1955 through 1960.
In 1960 he became head basketball and baseball coach at the
newly completed Thurston High
School in Springfield. Roth had
s t at e tournament basketball
teams at Thurston in the 196465 season, and the 1965-66 season. The 65-66 season produced
an 18-6 record, and the 64-65
team ended the seas.on with a fine
23-3 win-loss. The Titan's Dave
Gibson was a member of the
23-3 team.
In 1966 Roth became an assistant basketball coach to Mel
Krause at LCC. When Krause left,
Roth became the basketball boss.

He coached baseball for a time,
too.
The LCC basketballers go into
the tournament ceded as fourth.
This means that they will play
the number one team which is
Umpqua. The Titans split with
Umpqua in regular season play.
The three teams in the playoff are the Titans, Central Oregon, and Umpqua. Linn-Benton
played at Albany Monday, Feb. 28,
against SWOCC to determine who
would be the last team to enter
the playoffs.
The tournament will be at the
Marshfield High School gymnasium Mar. l and 2.
LCC plays Umpqua at 9 p.m.
Wednesday, Mar. 1. The ceded
second and third place teams will
. battle prior to the Titan's game
on Wednesday.
If LCC has an advantage in the
tournament it is because they are
in without having to participate
in a playoff, according to Coach
Roth.

UCLA's highly successful basketball coach, John Wooden was
asked who the better team was:
Ralph Miller's Oregon State Beavers, or Marv Harshman's Washington Huskies. He said, "Now
that we've played both the Oregon
and Washington schools twice, I
think Washington is better than
Oregon State."
When asked why, he said, "I'd
rather not say."
Could the reason be that he
thinks the Huskies are a better
coached team, or their style of
play is superior in Wooden's opinion?

points.
The two re~aining league _gam?s for the Titans were agamst
third and fourth place ~outhwestern ~regon Community ~ollege
and Lmn-Benton Community College. In order to grab one of
the four OCCAA tournament berths LCC had to win both of the
weekend contests. The Titans
accomplished this tough job.
They travelled to Coos Bay
Friday night to battle the tough
SWOCC Lakers. The two teams
traded ·baskets in a close fought
first half with a 37 to 37 tie
at the buzzer.
Lane began to pour it on in
the second half, leading at one
time by nine points. The stubborn Lakers would not give up
though, and fought back to within a bucket with seven minutes
left, making the score 64 to 62.
Lane, with a couple of timely
baskets by Greg Taylor and Alex
Iwaniw, switched to a zone defense and was immediately rewarded with three SWOCC turnovers. The Titans just added to
their lead in the final minutes,
winning 73 to 66. Taylor gunned in 11 field goals and hit a
perfect 7 for 7 at the free throw
line to lead LCC with 29 points.
Iwaniw hit for 14 key points for
the Titans. Ray Kinney hit 15
for SWOCC.
Before the biggest crowd of the
year Lane entertained the LinnBenton Roadrunners Saturday
night in the final regular season
contest for both teams. LCC responded to the "must" situation
by blasting the Roadrunners 86
to 61.
The first half saw the two teams
exchange fast break after fast
break. Lane led at the ' end of
the half 43 to 34, but not without
the clutch defensive play and b.ot
shooting of guard Steve Woodruff.
Woodruff, who possibly turned
in· his finest performance of the

season, keyed an early Titan lead
by pumping in 10 of LCC's first
15 points. Most of those came
on fading jump shots from the 20
to 25 foot mark.
.
Lane came out of the halftime
d~essing room andpromptlyblew
Lmn-Benton out of the gym. Greg
Taylor blistered the nets with
ten straight points, mostly on
twisting cork screw drives, while
the rest of the Titans added 14
more points to their lead. The
visitors could do absolutely nothing right, missing easy jumpers
and layups, and committing four
consecutive turnovers. LCC stole
passes, outran, outshot, outrebounded and generally outplayed
the Roadrunners to an insurmountable 33 point lead. At that
point Coach Roth had mercy and
put in the reserves to finish the
job. The final score was 86 to
61.
Greg Taylor the six-foot guard
who is leading the OCCAA in
scoring turned in his best complete game, scoring 35 points
collecting eight rebounds, canning all seven of his free throw
shots and playing a tenacious defense. The defensive effort of
forward Randy Burdick on
LBCC's high scoring center Bob
Dekoning played a big part in
the victory. Burdick held Dekoning to only six field goals.
The triumph put Lane in a third
place tie with both SWOCC and
Linn-Benton. Those two teams
played in Albany Monday evening
for the third place spot in the
tourney.
LCC will ~e ceded as the fourth
place team, and will not playoff.
The Titans will play number
one Umpqua at 9p.m. Wednesday,
Mar. I. The second place team
will. play the third place team
earller than the LCC game.
The tourney will be staged at

Murray Booth pinned his three
opponents, but wrestled only one
minute and 30 seconds. Booth is
the first wrestler in Lane's history to capture a first, and thereby qualify for the national tournament.
However, LCC policy will not
allow Booth to advance to the
national championships at Worthington, Minnesota next week. (see
editorial, page 2)
January's W r e s t 1e r of the
Month, Ken Kime, was the other
Titan who placed at Rexburg.
Kime, who wrestles in the 158
pound bracket, placed third, and
also qualified for the national
tourney.
A top wrestler from Rick's
College of Rexburg, Idaho defeated Kime in the first round
5 to 4. Coach Bob Creed states
that " ... the Rick's kid was real-

ly ready to go, and Kime had a
poor match. The incentive for our
young men wasn't there".
"It's hard to ready yourself,
when even if you do win, you
are not able to advance to the
nationals," concluded the LCC
wrestling boss.
Coach Creed said that Curt
Crone had a good tournament.
He finished fourth, losing in the
final consolation match'. But he
defeated the number two ceded
man in the 134 pound division
from Treasure Valley C.C.
This was a ten team tournament. LCC finished with 21 points.
North Idaho was first with 96
points, and the State of Oregon's
Clackamas Cougars, and Central
Oregon Bobcats were surprises.
The Cougars finished second
with 82 points, and the Bobcats
placed just ahead of the Titans
with 24 1/2 points.

twelve win, one loss record.
Booth is the TORCH Wrestl-

ing Athlete of the Month for
February.
At North Eugene High School,
Booth finished second in the Triple A Championships in his Junior year, and placed third in
his Senior year. In District Five
he placed first the three years
he wrestled on the varsity team.
Following his senior year he traveled to Japan on the cultural
exchange program. From Japan
Murray attended Oregon State
University on a football scholarship. He left am to increase his
grade point average so that it
would be easier for him in later
years at a four year college.
The TORCH asked Booth if
coaching had contributed to his
success. He said, ''The better
the wrestler, the better the coach.
You've got to have the ability."
However, Booth said that you
must have dedication and desire,
or you will never become conditioned, and that condition plays an
even more important part than
ability.

Murray Booth is quite a wrestler. He has lost only once this .

Booth participated in the District 18 Regionals over the weekend where he placed first in the
heavy weight division. He pinned
all three of his opponents, wrestling for a total of only one minute
and 30 seconds. Being the first
wrestler in Lane's history to capture a first in the Regionals,
Booth left quite an impression
with the people at Rexburg, Idaho, ,
the site of the Regionals.
Upon completing his studies at

his education, and to wrestle.

certain momentum for Booth, as
he has won 12 straight, and considering that he has beaten Scott
twice, since his first defeat by
Scott, this is borne out.
Booth says that he doesn't
play games with his opponents,
and that he is '' just as nervous

In their final league game with
the U of O Tuesday, Feb. 22,
the Lane women's basketball
team had an exciting finish.
Lane made a slow start against
Oregon, scoring only 12 points
to Oregon's 22 during the first
half. They made a great comeback in the second half, but were
still unable to overcome Oregon
in the final seconds, and lost by
one point 33 to 32.
Playing for Lane this season
were: Lisa Fox, Sarah Rix, Carol Palanuk, Lavada Barber, Jan
Hull, Sharon Baugh, Sharon Isaacs, Suzan Mitchell, Sue Bundrant, Debbie Moore, Kay Philpott, Chris Ford, Judy Hill, and
Lorraine Hein. Coaching the women was Delpha Daggett.

Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25
and 26, Lane hosted the Women's
Southern Area "B" Basketball
Tournament. Thirteen schools
were represented.
The tournament w~s a single
elimination with a consolation
bracket so each team played a minimum of three games and a
maximum of four.
Many of the games played were
close and very exciting. Four of
the six games in the first round
had final scores of three points
or less difference.
Lane had to divide its team in
half to make two teams so there
would be an even number of
teams. LCC team one lost in a
close, hard fought game with
George Fox, 29 to 2.7, in the first
round. LCC team two played a
good game, but lost to PSU, 31
to 28. Lane team one had another close meeting with OSU,
but was unable to rally to defeat them.
In the second round of play,
the U of O played SOC. With seconds to go in the final quarter,
Oregon put in two free throws
to tie the game 44 to 44. Just
before the final gun, an Oregon
player bumped one of her teammates, and forced her to foul a
player from SOC. With no time
remaining on the clock, the SOC
player put in a free throw to win
45 to 44. SOC continued on to
win, defeating OCE 40 to 25. The
defeat of OCE enabled SOC to
move into the championship
game. In this final game SOC
met Clark. SOC played good basketball and defeated Clark to
take home f i rs t place honors
while Clark took second.

President Nixon's trip to China could perhaps op~n
lines of communication which may l~nk t~e world's most
populated c?untry and. the _wo;ld s 71chest country.
When Nixon met with_ Chm~ s C_ha1rma? ~ao Tsetung for an hour long discussion, 1t was mdicated by
C:hinese news so~rces that the talk ended in fundame~tal
d1sagreement~ Nixon sug~ested though th at the Umted
States and Chma can be friendly.
. Premier Chou En_-lai told Nixon, ',',the gates to
friendly contacts have fmally been opened. It seems that
just by the fact that President Nixon arrived in China we
have shown good faith towards the Chinese people in
recognizing them as a people. Chou didn't seem upset that
there was a disagreement between Nixon and Mao. Chou
remained very friendly towards the Nixon party and played
the part of a humble host.
Throughout his trip President Nixon stated many
times that the US and China can realize and maintain
steady negotiations. Nixon said that China and the US
co,uld begin a long march towards peace without compromising their principles of Communism and Capitalism.
Nixon and Chou were constantly reporting that both sides

LCC plans to build :

were commg closer; the talks have 'been beneficial to
both sides," C_hou said. .
.
Ronald Ziegler, presidential press secretary, released a joint communique on Sunday, Feb. 27 describing
what had been agreed upon by both parties.
The communique sta~ed th_at the US and China agreed
upon _cultur~l excha~ges m science,. technology'. sports,
and Journah~m. Chmese and American trade 1s to be
developed. Nixon also agreed to removal of troops from
Southeast Asia and Taiwan when "the tension in the
area dimini~hes."
.
The maJor agreement from Pekmgwas an agreement
to_ mov~ forward with the _us in ~orking f~r peace ~n Asia
with neither the US nor Chrna trymg to achieve dominance.
Diplomatic relations between China and the US were agreed upon through "various channels."
But it is interesting to note that within China there
is another line of thought, on the Nixon trip and it is
coming from 63 miles outside Peking where the 196th
Division of the Peoples Liberation Army is located.
The feeling emanated by the 196th Division is that of
the United States "and all its lackeys" being the real
enemies.
_
General Keng of the 196th said, "we are prepared at
any time to liberate Taiwan and destroy all enemy intruders who dare to invade our country." Although this

presents proposal
A proposal for a two million
dollar construction and remodeling project that would give LCC
a new building and provide funds
to remodel the fourth floor and
basement of the Center was presented to the LCC Board of Education, Wednesday, Feb.23, by
the LCC Long Range Planning
Committee.
Marston J. Morgan, director of
Institutional Research and Planning, said in an interview Thursday that, "The new building would
provide space for the Performing
Arts Department that now occupies the basement of the Center Building. That area, could
then be utilized for those fourth
floor programs that are now inadequately or temporarily housed.''
"About a year ago" says Morgan, "the planning committee began to look at the possibilities
of future growth. T:'le planning
committee, whose primary function is to advise the President
anct, . . -~ l~~lf began _compiling a

list of those program s that
are now temporarily housed or
suffering from the need of adequate facilities."
After discussions, hearings,
and evaluation studies, the decision was ,reached, according
to Morgan, to propose the following to the Board:
Construction of a new building that would house the Performing Arts Department. Performing Arts now occupies the
basement area of the Center
Building and the top floor of
the Forum Building.
Remodeling of the fourth
floor to include covering the
courtyard area and utilizing that
space for Study Skills.
Redesignating and remodeing of the basement area, which
is approximately 14,000 square
feet for the Learning and Re.:
source Center. About one third
of the space would be occupied
by Visual Arts and the other
one-third would house Printing
Graphics and Dial Retrieval. This
would allow all of the heavy printing equipment to be moved from
the fourth floor.
T h e c o n s t r u c t i o n and re modeling, if this proposal is accepted, will begin around October, 1973. According to Morgan,
the • college now has about 1.2
million dollars, which would build
about 60 percent of the project,
the rest depends on supplementary funding from the State Legislature.

The war in Vietnam saw stepped-up ground action this week
and continued intensive bombing
of North Vietnamese sites by US
fighter bombers.
A 15,000 pound bomb, which is
reported to be the heaviest conventional bomb in the US arsenal,
was dropped last Saturday on a
fortified bunker line, 40 miles
east of Saigon. It was an attempt
to destroy what was believed the
headquarters of a North Vietnamese regiment. The "Daisy Cutter" bomb had no immediate reported effects but is normally
used to create "instant landing
zones" for US helicopters, and is
not normally used against enemy
positions. The bomb is capable of
destroying everything in a several hundred yard radius.
Among the land actions which
took place, the biggest battle US
forces have fought in months took
place, an American company ran
into a heavily fortified bunker line
on Friday, and took serious casualties. The casualties were the
heaviest since last July. Most
other attacks in the area seemed
to be of the quick hit and run
variety by the enemy.
Politically, President Thieu of
South Vietnam has consented to
allow a neutral conference of Asian nations decide the future of
South Vietnam. The conference
would consist of Vietnamese and
other Southeast Asian countries.
It is a position Thieu formerly
rejected until now. Thieu invites
the North Vietnamese to take
part in the conference.

attitude towards the Nixonpartydoesnotseem to coincide
with those of Nixon's host Chou, China's desire to control
Taiwan is clear.
Keng went on to say: "The struggle againstimperialism and all its lackeys is surging forward.,,
'' But the nature of imperialism and all its lackeys will
not change. They will utilize every opportunity to sabotage
and make trouble. Therefore, the danger of world war still
exists and the people of the world should be prepared."
Keng added that "we resolutely support the just struggle of the three countries of Indochina a ainst the US invaders."

Angela Davis was released on
bail ($102,500) after being jailed
for the past sixteen months.
Ms. Davis is not "freed on
bail" as some accounts have stated. The bail order:
• forbids Ms. Davis from attending or participating in public meetings or rallies without
court approval;
eforbids all air travel by Ms.
Davis;
eforbids Ms. Davis from residing outside of Santa Clara
county;
eforbids Ms. Davis from leaving
the six Bay Area counties without court permission;
eforbids Ms. Davis from engaging in any pre-trial publicity;
Ms. Davis must also stay in a,
residence designated by the
court.
Attorneys for Ms. Davis had
argued that she was denied bail
on the grounds that she is charged with offenses to which a death
penalty was possible, and that the
California Supreme Court, in declaring capital punishment unc-onstitutional, had removed these
grounds.
Prosecutor Albert Harris Jr.
s t ate d opposition to bail, rea soning that the Court's ruling
is not final for 30 days, and that
an appeal is planned by the California Attorney General.

director of the U.S. Bureau of
Dangerous Drugs, told a news

A new and dramatic turn showed itself in the violence that is
Northern Ireland this week when
a bomb exploded in an army barracks in England. The Irish
Republican Army took credit for
the blast.
The action marks the first
time since the original Irish
civil war that the IRA actually
committed a terrorist act on British soil. The outlawed organization said that the bombing was a
retaliation against the ''bloody
Sunday" of a few weeks ago when
13 civilians were killed in Northern Ireland by British troops.
Bomb blasts occurred in Belfast, wrecking a downtown warehouse, a shopping arcade, and a
bus depot in Antrim.
Six persons, including two policemen and a soldier were taken
to a hospital with slight injuries
after the shopping arcade was hit
by a package bomb strapped to a
bicycle.
