Vol. 7 No. 24 4000 East 30th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon 97405 Board of Education adopts proposal for gardening at LCC The LCC Board of Education discussed a variety of topics at its Wednesday meeting (April 26), ranging from gardening to music. Board of Education Chairman Catherine Lauris proposed a motion Wednesday at the LCC board meeting that will allow students, faculty, staff and any one else in the community to utilize the land around LCC for gardening. Ms. Lauris explained that projects of this nature are done in Denmark and work very well. Ms. Lauris said that plots could be designated for the planting of these gardens and it would not be limited to flowers. "People could grow their own vegetables and we could even approach the food services people and get all the waste food that is thrown away and utilize it for compost." The Board voted unanimously to adopt this proposal and will set up a committee to get this program under way. Om a r Barbarossa, student body president, made a statement to the Board explaining that the student housing project will open early in June which is months ahead of schedule. Barbarossa went on to state that Katy Eymann and he have been appointed youth coordinators on the LCC Campus for the McGovern campaign for President of the US. In other business the Board moved to approve the change of titles in several courses. Some of the changes were: The Negro in American Literature - to Black American Literature; Introductory Geography to Urban Environments. The issue of student travel to national events came up again last week when a representative of the Stage Band came forward and explained that there is a possibility that the LCC Stage Band could travel to Washingto DC. The Stage Band has ended up as a finalist in competiton with seven other bands from the Northwest out of 40 who originally entered the competition. The Board is still considering the matter of students from LCC travelling to National events and agreed that the events should not be limited to Sports. Straw vote May 2. 1972 Evening students represented in first Senate night session Let me say this about that The first of what is hoped to be an on-going series of "Town Hall Meetings" occured in the LCC cafeteria area on Monday afternoon. The event, organized by members of the Student Senate and other interested students, was aimed at developing a wider base of decision making in the policies of LCC. Participants seemed equally divided between staff, administration, and students, and a lively discussion ensued concerning the issue of Ben Kirk's uncertain status as an instructor at Lane. Another topic of interest to those in attendance was a discussion of ways to bring the activities of students more in line with the on-going process of the Lane County community at large. Dave Otos, a student at LCC, suggested that students do work in line with their programs for which they could be paid by businesses in Lane County. Some of those in attendance included Ms. Catherine Lauris, chairman of the Board of Ed·· ucation; President Schafer; Omar Barbarossa, student body president; and a large contingent of instructors. first Skills Fair attracts large numbers Ins t ant population explosion was the only way to describe the LCC campus Thursday. The first annual Skills Fair attracted large numbers of both adults and children to tour the campus. Organizing responsibility for the event was left in the hands of Anne Stewart and Ericka Orchard. According to Ms. Stewart the day was very successful. The object of the Skills Fair was to "give the community an idea of the variety of skills available at LCC," Ms. Stewart said. According to her, it was more than a tour of the facilities because the general public could observe students doing their work, see demonstrations of the technical achievements students are capable of, and get some idea of where their tax monies are going. Summer program discussed Priorities Review Committee examines budget cuts It was the third meeting to be held in the past week. The other two meetings dealt mainly with a consolidation of the material and information which the PRC has gathered from their interviews, and a synthesis of their recommendations thus far. Another in the series of on-going investigations by the Priorities Review Committee (PRC) occurred last night in the Board Room of the Administration Building. Last night's meeting involved interviewing Lou Case, Dean of Instruction. Some of the Committee's questions concern.ed strictly financial aspects of instruction, but a great many concerns were more related to the problem of increased efficiency of programs. Such problems as who administers what program, de-centralization of the administration of certain programs, and a justification of other areas was called for. During the week, the Committee condensed a number of their findings in the form of direct recommendations for a more efficient operation of the campus. Student Activities, Counseling, Job Placement, and tuition and registration were all studied in the latest series of recommendations. Summer school has been an immediate subject throughout many of the hearings. The Committee hopes to be able to increase the enrollment, while keeping costs stable. The exact nature of the recommendations was released to the Committee in executive session, which keeps the recommendations confidential until the President of the college has looked them over. The various departments and programs on campus organized displays, demonstrations, and information on the activities that occur in the day-to-day functioning of the institution. Ms. Stewart said that a head count of the number who attended would be very difficult to determine. About 1,000 registered beforehand, and she estimates that 2,000 to 2,400 came at one time or other during the day. Her estimate of the ratio of voting age people and children was a little more than 50 per cent. The major attraction during the day's activities was the performance by the LCC stage band which played to a large gathering in front of the Center Building. President Schafer, indicating his satisfaction with the day's events, said that "It is this kind of effort, coupled with the splendid cooperation from all segments of the college, which continues to make LCC a special kind of place." Of some significance is the fact that at 5 a.m. the Skills Fair opened with a demonstration by people preparing the pastries for the breakfast menu. About 16 visitors witnessed the demonstration along with another 16 staff members. Thursday night saw what was the first Student Senate meeting ever to be held at night. It was attended by the Evening College Advisory Committee which was invited to attend by the Student Senate with the hope of furthering relations between the two organizations. Represenatives of the Evening Advisory Committee were, Tom Curtis, Jim Dutton, and Tom Ballard. Jay Boulton, Student Body vice president, became responsible for initiating the night meetings at the last Senate meeting when the Senate voted unanimously to act on his motion. The Student Senate announced that every other Senate meeting in the future will be held at night in the Board Room at 9 o'clock. Talk between the two organizations centered around establishing a budget for the night school advisory committee. The Evening Advisory committee explained that they never had a need for funding before but recently have originatedprograms that will need revenue. Omar Barabarossa, Senate President , said that the Senate, in the next meeting will consider possible funding to the committee. Another topic of the meeting was the discussion of the possibility of the Student Senate retaining Eugene attorney Larry Gilda. Gilda said that he felt there were situations existing at LCC that would warrent the Senate hiring an attorney. One example he said was the Institutional Bill Rights. Gilda said that in most cases this document was vague and often so ambiguious that it could hardly even be used. Gilda also said that he sees the Co 11 e g e Board of Education spending most of its time on administrative matters and not concerning itself much with any student related matters. Gilda was then retained by the Senate to do specific work with the Institutional Bill of Rights. He is to go through the document and clearly define what_ the students' rights are. Also, Gilda is to write up two contracts, one being the contract for the flying Titans, (last Senate meeting the Senate agreed to loan them money so they could buy an aircraft) and the other is for the upcoming Jazz Festival to be held here at LCC. All jobs being hired out to Gilda must first be approved by the Senate in a meeting. This meeting did not have a quorum and therefore all motions must be ratified at the •next scheduled Senate meeting. In other business Jay Boulton resigned as Chairman - of t h e Board of Tellers in order that he could run for student body president, and the LCC Soccer Club was granted $75. The next Senate meeting is to be held tomorrow at 3 p.m. TORCH The innocent bystander It seems now days that the small man can no longer voice his opinion, make it heard, and get any results that relate to his problems. We all have problems, each differing greatly from one person to the next. To deal with this multitude of complex and, in most cases, personal problems, would take a person fashionedafterthe Christian god. At the present time we have to settle for a commodity distributed to us by often slow and overpaid administrators. Their service is known as "lip service." They always smile and appear to be sympathetic, knowing your . particular problem only too well, and are positive they will help. Students appeared at one meeting of ,the LCC Board of Education and voiced their concern over the 12.5 per cent tuition increase. Nothing has been done about it on anv level. The Administration hopes that the issue will die and that they will not have to worry about being embarassed in front of the LCC Board, or worse, the community at large. These are tricky times with the budget once again being presented to our local taxpayers who already accuse students for passage of the cigarette tax. The current run of "lip service" is emanating from the Office of College Facilities. Bill Cox has found it fitting to oppose, issuing any more keys for student related activities. It seems that two keys have been lost in the past three years, and that has thrown a scare into Mr. Cox. He feels that bis security ~taff mi~ht run into _problems with two keys being possibly. in·the bands of vicious criminals who might, without any warning, come , here some night and steal the "whole thing." That seemed funny after having talked to a few students who have occassionally found the lower doors to the Center Building music rooms open: valuable instruments were not protected despite the fact that the students bad locked the doors behind them upon leaving. The TORCH bas been after Mr. Cox for two terms to issue more keys and his first reply was, "We are going to change the locks and re-key the area." That was alright and worked as effective "lip service" at the time, but it got very old rather fast. The next encounter was met with official and substantiated "lip service." The issue bas now been sent to the College c·abinet where they put it to a committee. Mr. Cox just happens to be on the committee -- which gives little hope to an experienced purchaser of "lip service" that the matter will ever be solved this year. Mr. Cox bas even alluded to that effect. The key issue was brought before the College Cabinet by the Key Committee recently with the idea of having students individually take responsibility and pay a $5 deposit. The Cabinet turned down • this proposal. Mr. Cox said it seems as if we might not get this issue solved by the end of the term. President Schafer was approach~d recently and he suggested a letter be sent to Mr. Cox with a duplicate going to the that President's office. But even with this effort there has been no response as of this date. "Lip service" is man's best friend in times of loneliness and despair. Why, for one thin dime you can dial-a-prayer.

It's time for another chapter of "Uncle Hubert and His Friends"--the heartwarming story that ptoves any little boy in this great land of ours can grow up to run for President. And Hubert usually does. As we join Uncle Hubert today, he's just scored a tremendous victory. On his third try for the Presidency, he's finally won his first primary! There he is now, bustling into the kitchen with his warm and friendly smile as his attractive wife, Muriel, prepares to cook his breakfast. * * * HUBERT: Good morning, my fellow American. Let me say what a great honor and pleasure it is to be here in your great American kitchen this morning MURIEL: Yes, dear. How would you like your eggs? HUBERT: Boiled. Please boil one for two minutes as I love soft-boiled eggs and one for ten minutes as I also love hardboiled eggs. I don't care what others may say, this is my stand on eggs. MURIEL: You sure you would not like them fried? HUBERT: Yes, I would love them fried. One sunny-side up, as I love them sunny-side-up, and one over-easy, as I love them ... MURIEL: I'm sorry, dear. I got confused. Would you mind loving them if they're scrambled? HUBERT: I love scrambled eggs. I love all eggs, regardless of shape, breed or color. Wasn't that a tremendous victory speech I gave? MURIEL: Yes, dear. I'm so glad you finally got to give one. HUBERT: I attribute my great victory to the many firm stands I have taken on the issues. MURIEL: I'm sure no one's taken as many stands as you, dear. Particularly on busing. HUBERT (unfolding a blueprint): Have I shown you my design for an all-new school bus to meet this urgent crisis? See? It has a driver at each end and a teacher in the middle. MURIEL (puzzled): I'm afraid I don't understand your position · on that, dear. HUBERT (nodding happily): Good. And my great victory also proves that what the people want is a new face •.. MURIEL: I've been meaning to say how much I like your new long sideburn, (cg) dear. HUBERT: Yes, by simply turning my head to the left in photographs, I c,apture the youth vote. By turning it to the right, I retain the support of my beloved friend, the great leader of organized labor, Samuel Gompers. MURIEL: I think it's George Meany now, dear. HUBERT: They support me because of my fresh approach to the issues. I have pledged to bring the country out of The Great Depression by giving the people what I call "The New Deal." MURIEL: I only hope you can keep us out of World War II (cg) as well dear. Oh, I'm so happy you finally won a primary. • HUBERT: Never fear. There is a higher law that says I will win another before I'm through. MURIEL: What law is that, dear? HUBERT (raising a forefinger dramatically): The law, my fellow American, of averages! * * * Well, kiddies, tune in again next time. And meanwhile, if you want firm stands, fresh approaches and new faces, trust old Uncle Hubert. He'll make you any kind you like. (Copyright Chr. Pub.

Good ol' Chicken Heart (my car) has served me • well, and my own heart goes out to the poor old friend as we negotiate together the perils of the unpaved parking lots. We approach intrepidly the fearsome crevices and swamps, and dodging for level ground, my faithful polluter becomes a ship upon a chuck hole sea . Alas, I thought hard upon the problem and came to what I thought was a reasonable solution. If we charged every driver 50 cents for a parking sticker and put the money into a fund to get these earthen break-waters paved, surely it would_not take long to be on safe ground. Taking my suggestion to the (and I use the word lightly), "Student Senate'' I was met with first incompetence, which did not surprise me, since all I have ever personally seen any one from the Student Senate do was sit around the cafeteria or center, drink coffee, and swear about the Student Senate. And second, a beauracratic "no one is interested", which meant it is too much work to find out if any one wants it or if it can be done. Thus I was left with an overwhelming amount of libido which . . I am resolvmg by this letter.

The center works in cooperation with White Bird SocioMedical Clinic, and takes calls and visits from people interested in any aspect of drug use, whether Prescription, non-prescription or illegal. The Drug Information Center is strictly a resource center, not a counseling center, and attaches no moral judgements to the information it provides. Volunteers staffing the center will supply answers to any questions onphysiological, psychological, sociological as well as other aspects of drug use. The center also has two drug consultants: Joel Adkins, Assoc. Professor of Psychology, and Dr. Leonard Jacobson, a physician at Sacred Heart Hospital. A lending library in the office includes books and files on drugs which anyone may check out. Anyone having a question that the staff can't answer immediately will have his question researched and be called back. Research that may be benefical to the community at large will be disseminated through further press releases. Drug Information Center volunteers are also available for talks to classes and organizations, including anyone from LCC who might have questions to ask. The center is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 6 p.m. on weekends. Calls are welcomed at 686-5411.

This becomes more and more apparent as we watch the concern for environmental issues slide gradually out of vogue, in much the same way that the racial issue lost its passion in the last few years. The White, middle class community has continually exhibited a phobia about sudden change. But a sudden change is imperative. A lot of things have to be changed, and fast. Our garbage is a perfect example. We can no longer afford to hide our throw-aways, or sweep them under the rug. And while we are filling up every hole in the ground with cans, bottles, and boxes, we are draining the natural resources needed to make more. The solution is almost too simple - use these things more than just one time. This is the aim of BRING (Begin Re-cycling In Natural Groups). Located on Franklin Blvd., just a spit from LCC, BRING will take your cans, bottles, jars and cardboard boxes off your hands. Rinse out your bottles and jars, take the lids off, and take them to BRING. You needn't take off labels since they will be cooked at a high temperature. If you have a lot of bottles, sort them out by color (clear, amber and green). Flatten out your cardboard boxes; they'll take those too. Tin cans, aluminum cans (the ones with no seams), and tinfoil can be donated also. Labels should be removed and cans squashed flat. Beer bottles are usually returned to their respective companies, so they would appreciate it if you sorted them according to brand. BRING is open from noon to six every day of the week, so pay them a visit. And they are constantly looking for people willing to volunteer some help.

George McGovern - Oct. 28, 1971 Page 4 TORCH May 2, 1972 Election results released Results of the straw vote held during the Skills Fair were released yesterday by Paul Malm of the Social Science Department. "The mountain 1ab ore d and brought forth a mouse," said Malm. "After two weeks of work in this joint venture of the State and Local Government class and the Data Processing Department, only 286 ballots were cast, about half that of 1970." Nevertheless, the mock primary produced a number of substantial results. Senator George McGovern won the Democratic bid handily with 52 per cent of the vote. His closest followers were "non-candidate» Edward Kennedy with 12 per cent, Edmund Muskie and Shirley Chisholm each with 7 per cent> Patsy Mink with 6 per cent, George Wallace 5 per cent, and Hubert Humphrey wound up with a scant 4 per cent of the Democratic votes cast . Nixon horded the Republican ballots, carrying a 76 per cent majority. In the Senate race, Wayne Morse showed himself an obvious favorite among the college crowd, collecting 70 per cent of the Democratic votes, while Mark Hatfield monopolized the Republicans' favor with a healthy 87 per cent landslide. other notable victories were Charles Porter (D.Dist. 4), who compiled a majority of 51 per cent; David Red Fox, an LCC Resolutions for Oregon C. Colleges to be discussed at Association meeting Thirty representatives from LCC will meet representatives from 12 other colleges at Coos Bay during the annual Oregon Community College Association meeting on May 13 and 14 to hash out and debate resolutions for all of the colleges to adopt. Five different groups from LCC will attend the OCCA con- · ference, with six representatives from each group. The five groups to be represented are the students, school board, faculty, classified employees, and administrators. All of the other colleges will also be represented in this way. "The OCCA is unique in Oregon in that the teachers> students, administrators, classified employees, and school board are all in one group representing their college, and working together to pass the resolutions they have proposed," said Bill • Cox, a current representative from LCC. Cox explained that any proposal can be acted upon "If more than 50 per cent of the representatives from a college agree on a resolution; the resolution .will (then) be put through the state office 60 days before the convention where it will be debated and either passed or rejected. If the needed 50 per cent yes vote is acquired the resolution will be accepted and all of the colleges will make it part of tneir rules and regulations ... Resolutions can also be brought up by one group, such as the students organizing from several colleges and agreeing upon a proposal." Established in 1964, there were only four colleges in the OCCA at that time, but this number has quickly grown to 13 which includes all Oregon colleges. . :-: :•: :•: :•· : :•: :•: :•: :•. :.-: student, won his race (D.Dist.39) with a count of 60 per cent; and in the contest for District Attorney, incumbent Robert Naslund won both the Democratic and Republican vote, outclassing both of his opponents. In the County Commissioner race, Malm stated, one of the candidates was inadvertently left off the ballot, so those results were invalidated. The election was heavily favored to illustrate any direction a '' youth vote" may go in the actual May 23 Oregon primary, since 76 per cent of the straw vote participants were students, and 57 per cent of the voters were under 25 years of age. Malm expressed distress at the voter apathy, but was pleased that over one third of the voters were in the uewly-enfranchised 18-21 year old group. For many the mock election was the first encounter with the Votomatic ballot, and provided a valuable learning experience. Malm also had high praise for his Government class which handled the balloting smoothly and efficiently. Hari Hari The atmosphere of "sameness" here at LCC was interrupted for at least a short time by devotees from the movement for "The International Society for Krishna Consciousness." The group was on campus all day Wednesday, passing out literature aimed at informing students about their ''world-wide movement." The religion is aimed at bringing inner-peace to the individual. ~:~-:~:l"t:/:::~~¼W~ ,;',;:;;r, f ,Jt:~~;~:;<':}~ ',:? ~':, \t>' \J :~':,:~.,- ,:~<, I , .'~', ,:~:f.~~~~=[,: ~;~:,') > ,, '.s ,':, 1 ,0.1wP"'$",,, 1 2 ,!/ l/'A? w , @L <J '.« £' ,, , :_, A ~t.\W1tf i>,, ,'/th 8 }>~J0ff,lizyt1f?•"':0,,~'~ ,"\' : if»>,,, I.,. *0 ,¾, %:= ,~ , '~fk, / w&).' ~:v~;;o1,H~;,Ii~/' , tit'.# , ~Wlqf4fit;JYJ,,;,:', 'tA'} LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE LOW, LOW repair rates, all tions regarding N.

The band will kick things off at 2 p.m. Immediately following the concert,-other LCC departments will join in the fun with a variety of events for the public to participate in. The Health and Physical Education Department has an exhibition mile run on tap, with folk dancing planned to take plac• as well. The volleyball courts will be open for anyone wishing to play, and the Student Senate has already challenged staff members to a baseball game to illustrate just where the expertise lies. Guests will include Dale Reed as Master of Cermonies. Ernie Carbajal will be the featured soloist with the band. Aitken calls Carbajal "one of the finest jazz trumpet players on the West Coast." And scheduled also are four members of the Lane County Auditorium Association production of "1776." 1'he purpose of offering many events, according to Aitken, is "to put the fun back into going to a concert by having other things to do." Aitken said plans are being made to accomodate those people who would otherwise find difficulty in attending the concert. For example, an effort to pick up senior citizens and bring them to the campus either in a rented city bus or in private cars is in the planning process. The concert is planned to take place on the grass north of the Center Building, but if there is a problem with the weather, it will be held indoors. Also scheduled to appear at the concert is Patsy Mink, Democratic Congresswoman from Hawaii, who will direct the first selection by the band and later address the audience. According to the local. chairman for Patsy Mink, Paul Nosbich, the New York Times will be on hand to cover the event. For anyone interested in a sample of the music that will be offered, the band will be performing today through Friday on campus as a warm-up for the concert. I Letters ...

Sincerely, Robert Toepel TORCH Indians a,m for int.e grity, . harmony · by Liz Campbell "Indians are only beginning to find their identity," says one Native American; and Lane Indians are attempting to organize in an effort to hasten the discovery. LCC's Native American Student Union (NASU) is still a fledgling group, but officers have been elected, by laws passed and long-range goals established. The key note sounded by the Union is "organize." '' Indians still possess their dignity," says Brian Longie, president of the NASU, and the common sharing of problems and progress through a group such as NASU can only serve to aid individual Indians. Tangible steps are being taken to achieve this long-range goal of eQuality and recognition. "We are attempting to initiate classes in Native American history and literature," remarked Bonnie Riggs, NASU secretary. ''We are also working out plans for a 'tribal council' - in the Indian tradition." Indians "Hate time schedules," so the Council will not be a meeting in the "regular sense," rather, a gettogether with the business being taken care of 'whenever' - in the best Indian tradition." Dissimilar ideas of time are a good example of the difference between Indians and Whites," said Ms. Riggs. Another selfevident difference can be found in the area of money--and how to spend it. "Give a White Man a thousand dollars and he"ll save it and invest it. An Indian with a thousand dollars will give it away to his or her friends. A color TV and wealth are simply not the Indian idea of 'status.' Giving provides greater prestige for an Indian than saving." It is for actions and beliefs such as these that Indians have ---------------------------• Cit ,._ NATURAL FOOD STORE 744 E. 24th 343-9142 May 2, 1972 • GOOD FOOD LOW PRrCES NEW THINGS HAPPEN 4 I ' • < I -, C I i i Cl ( I ( been s c or n e d, and oppressed claim the NASU. "The answer - an achievement of harmony - lies in acceptance and tolerance," said Ms. Riggs. "The Indian just wants to be left alone .. '' Education is another answer the NASU offers for Indian wellbeing: In both the Indian culture and "White Man's ways. We want to be able to beat him at his own game." ''We see violence as only selfperpetuating," stated Ms. Riggs. "But if we can use the laws to our advantage, get into politics and become strong together while at the same time reviving the Indian culture and philosophy, we can beat the White Man with his own methods and remain culturally intact." In Lane's NASU, non-Indians are allowed to participate at all levels, except that of holding office. "But White People can help by righting some of the wrongs," explained Ms. Riggs. "Working for the reestablishment of broken treaties, getting an all-important land base, attempting to understand the Indian ways - these are crucial to Native Americans and concerned non-Indians can help."

Lane baseballers face critical games SPORTS Griffith en route to fourth Judges watch as runners take off in the mile run at the Lane Invitational Track Meet held' Saturday at LCC. Lane's top finisher in the event was Randy Griffith who took fourth with a time of 4: 22.3. Randy is in lane three while Titan runners Bill Cram and Garrie Franklin are in lanes five and six, respectively. The meet saw LCC finish last in the field of Clark College, University of Or~gon Junior Varsity, and Mount Hood CC. Under-manned field blamed for loss by Steven lock-e "Even though some real fine individual efforts were made we didn't have much of a chance with our under-manned field," stated LCC's track coach, Al Tarpenning, after the Titans finished fourth in Saturday's fourway track meet with Mt. Hood Community College, Clark Junior College, and the Oregon JV's held at LCC. Mt. Hood cinched first place, scoring a sweeping 76 point vietory over Clark Junior College, which finished second with 38 points; The Oregon JV's had 37 1/2 points, and LCC had 30 1/2 points. LCC's only first place in Saturday's action came from Steve Maryanski in the javelin with a l toss of 226 feet, 3 inches, which is just a foot and a half off the school record. Last week Maryanski broke the school record in the javelin at the Mt. Hood Relays with a toss of 227 feet9 inches. In the running events, LCC took five second places. Dennis Hilliard placed second in a close 880 yard run with a time of 1:56,7, just five-tenths of a second off the winning time. Kent Larsen, Dan Walsh, Jeff Hardesty, and Wilbert Johnson placed second in the 440 yard relay with a time of 43.0. Bill Cram took second in the three Jnile with a time of 14:35,6, Darius Smith, Ken Keefe, Hilliard, and Dave Walker, placed second in the mile relay with a time of 3:30 , and tieing for second in the 100 yard dash were Kent Larsen of LCC, and Martin Rogers of Clark with a time of 10 seconds. Besides five second places Lane had two third places in the 120 yard high hurdles and 220 yard dash and four fourth places in the shot put, 440 yard dash, the long jump, and the 100 yard dash. Coach Tarpenning blamed his loss on the lack of men for the field events. He pointed out that Lane did pretty well in the running events. Lane will travel to Coos Bay to participate in the Oregon Community College Athletic Association Championships Friday and Saturday. .....: t·······················'Jlrlrk•······ ADULT STUDENT HOUSING, INC. t • OFFERS A $100 CASH PRIZE TO : t ....... ,.

Sackett's baseball team began the season with a game against the University of Oregon Junior Varsity team and lost 9 to 1. The Titans met the Ducks again last week in a doubleheader, dropping both games, the first by a score of 2 to O and the second 21 to 4. The Oregon College of Education J, V. also had fun with Lane in a contest that ended with a 7 to 6 score with LCC on the short end. The non-league opposition seems to be the downfall of the Titans as they have not come up with a nonconference vi ct o r y so far this season. Luckily since most of the losses have come in non-conference contests they won't count against the Titans in their quest for a playoff position. The league record _of 4 wins and 2 losses remains intact as the team goes into the three toughest conference series so far this season. Doubleheaders against Southwestern Community Co 11 e g e and t he Central Oregon C o m mtmity College ·Bobcats will set the scene for the season-ending doubleheader against LinnBenton Community College the division leaders. Losses in any of these final league battles would be critical to the hopes of Coach Sackett and the team for a berth in the playoffs to be held in Coos Bay May 5 and 6. The greatest problem for Lane is the anemic hitting that has plagued LCC throughout the final season. The team average is a poor .180 and without the bats of Chuck Dickerson and Tony Johnson, the team average would be even lower. Dickerson is hitting a .460 with 11 hits and 6 runs batted in. Newcomer Tony Johnson is pressing Dickerson for the team batting lead with .462 and 6 hits in 13 times at bat. The rest of the team is hitting considerably poorer and furnishing less in the way of runs for the beleaguered Titan pitching staff. Pitching has been fairly strong all season for Lane with a couple of exceptions, notably the University of Oregon game when the Ducks shelled Lane, pitching for 21 runs. Larry Glaze is taking the brunt of the 1o ad on the mound. Glaze has pitched 28 and a third innings, giving up 14 earned runs and 23 hits. Sophomore ·Tim Curts follows Glaze in the work load with 17 innings of pitching and a 3, 70 earned run average. Salvation has been found in the Titan's defense. That defense has allowed opponents to hit only .202, despite games such as 21 to 4 loss to the U of 0, Sports Briefs The Intramural softball season is underway. The first game played Thursday saw the student team, 11 Rymer's Reasons," defeat the facultyteam 11 Cheshire's Cats," 24 to 5. Superior hitting by the students , including three homeruns, one a grand slam by captain Tim Rymer, gave the students the advantage in the game. *** Friday. April 21 Lane's tennis team crushed Clarke College 9 to 0, and the following Saturday ripped Oregon College of Education 8 to 1. Lane's coach Don Wilson said Rick Baker, the number 2 man, ''played exceptionally w'e ll'' in the win over Clarke. Thursday's match against Linfield was rained out and will be replayed May 10. Women take second in home track meet Lane's Women's Track and Field Team took second in the LCC-hosted three way meet Wednesday with a total of 45 points. The University of Oregon took first with 58 points, leaving Mt~ Hood in third place with 23 points. Lisa Fox, Cheri Hawkins, and Lavada Barber made a grand sweep of the 200 meter hurdles grabbing first, second, and third places respectively. Penny Shoop placed second in the long jump and the high jump, with a high jump of 4' 10", two inches better than last week's high jump record. Kristy Phillips took third in the high jump with a 4'8" jump, also a two inch i mp rove men t from last week. Taking two first places for Lane, Lorraine Hein put the shot 39' 9 1/4" and tossed the dis-eus 10~' II 1/2". Also placing in the discus was Molly Read throwing the discus 99' II" fo; third place.

Continued from last week, John Thompson's analysis ana review of the "Steve Belko era" of University of Oregon basketball. Last week John reviewed the fortunes of the Steve Belko-coached basketball teams. In 1960 and 1961 prior to competing in the Pac-8 (which was officially inauguarted in 19&t), and after the break-up of the Pacific Coast Conference which ·occured in 1959, Belko's Oregons were NCAA At-Large Representatives. Though they never won the championship, they were never the less very competive, losing to number two in the nation, the University of California inl960 and in 1961 being defeated by the·John Rudometki~ and Chris Appel, USC Trojans, and that loss was by only two points. Next came the years when most West Coast schools expanded their athletic budgets but not the University of Oregon. This was no fauit of Coach athletic department Belko, but perhaps the brass. . So, in the next few years the Ducks had very httle to crow about, though Belko did a tremendous job with what he had, at one time even drawing praise from the old master himself OSU's ' . "Slats" Gill. While schools such as UCLA and OSU had • full time assistant coaches, the Oregon brass felt they could save money by hiring graduate students to be assistants. This was a real road block for Coach Belko's recruiting. These assis- • tants did not recruit, because the athletic director didn't provide funds for extensive recruiting. Belko didn't have much money alloted him, either. So, he had to recruit in Oregon. Being at such a handicap he wasn't able to compete with Pac-8 schools. It was a handicap because the State of Oregon at that time, or even now did not have enough talent to stock a Pac-8 team and make it truly competitive. Finally, after Len Casanova became Athletic Director, a full time basketball assistant coach was qired, and more money was made available. Now, this was after ten years of Coach Belko' s suffering. So, he was finally able to recruit outside of Oregon, and in the last three years of his stay at Duckville he recorded an overall record of 47 wins, 31 losses: he broke even in the Pac-8. A far cry from previous years. D~ring _the Belko era at the U of 0, Oregon had its' first 100 point games. In the 1963-64 season the Ducks scored 105 points in the Gonzaga game, 107 against Idaho state in the '66-67 season and 121 in a game with the University of Portland in the '69-70 season. In his last year as roundball-boss, Belko's team scored 100 points on the Cal Bears, and 101 on the University of Washington. Under Belko, the Webfoots won the Far West Classic title twice, and finished second three times. Some of the top players in the Belko era were Stan Love, Steve Jones, Charlie Franklin Charlie Warren, Nick Jones, Jim Barnett, Gle~ Moore, Bill Drozdiak, Larry Holliday, Chuck Rask, and Billy Gaskins. After proving he (Belko) could compete in the Pac-8 with some help from a full time assistant and financial support from the Athletic Depart~ ment, it still was not good enough for many alumni. Alumni pressure was at least partially responsible for Coach Belko retiring. It may be more than a partial reason. It is only fair to point out that two prominent sport's writers in 1971 stated that Belko's talent was over-rated, that people expected too much from_ hi~, and that he was doing a fine job, considermg he only had one bonafide star, Stan Love. Coach John Wooden would probably have agreed with those writers. After all, it was Coach Wooden who hired I Belko's assistant at UCLA after Belko retired. I Frank Arnold had played for Belko at IdahoState I learning his basketball from him. Coach Woode~ must have had some respect for Belko' s basketball know-how, or he wouldn't have hired Arnold. In the spring of 1971 the Oregon Athletic . Director hired Dick Harter from Pennsylvania who brought two assistants, which Belko could • never acquire. And Harter has received more money to work with. Harter's goal is to bring th~ U of O a national championship. His overall record at Penn was 104 wins and 53 losses, with 25-2 and 28-1 records th? last two years he was there. Most of these wms were acquired from teams in the Ivy League, which just are not in the Pac-8 class. Coach _Harter's Philosophy is discipline in the game, and he wants to outwork the other coaches in the Pac-8 because he doesn't feel that he can out coach them. He feels he must out work them to come out on top. He states that recruiting is 95 per cent of a coaches success. That statement, if true, proves that Coa~h Belko could have been on top if he had received the same assistance from the Athletic Department as Harter has enJoyed.
