Co~tro versial weldin g progra m
begins withou t state approv al

Arc Welder
An altered welding program is now in its second week at LCC
and the cause of several complaints. Students are enrolled in the
program , but neither the State nor -LCC Board of Education has
approved the revisions as yet. Shawn Clark, a first year welding
student, experiments with an arc welder.

Vet's benefits may b.e delayed
A call to Fourth District Congressman John Dellenback's
Washington, D. C. office yesterday revealed that Vet's may be
waiting awhile for their increased
benefits.
Because of a clause in the new
bill increases in benefits cannot be made until 30 days after
the bill's signing. This means
that the soonest a Vet can expect more money will be his or
her December check (receivable

in early January).
The increase is still expected
to be about half of the original
House and Senate versions or approximately $50, according to the
congressman's st a ff. Del1enback' s staff said that the bill
is still expected to be passed
by both Houses of Congress and
signed by the President before
Congress adjourns in the middle
of October.

Leaking gas disrupts classes

An acetylene gas leak in or around the Apprenticeship Building tempororily closed classes
in that building Thursday afternoon.
Rex H. McCready, Springfield
Fire Marshall, was called in to
help locate the leak. He said it
was tentatively determined that '
six tanks of acetylene had leaked somewhere during the three
days proceeding the discovering
of the leak. The tanks are located outside of the building and .
piped about 50 yards into the
welding classrooms.
According to Walt Van Orden,
building maintenance eJ.giMer,
the system has worked well for
six years. It was speculated that
ground shifting or concrete expansion and contraction over the
years may have caused the leak.
Van Ord en said the risk was
minimal but the problem was
locating the leak and discovering
where the gas had gone. The
acytelene was expected to dissipate overnight.
According to LCC Instructor Ken Schmidt, crew worked from 6 a.m. Saturday to

1:30 a.m. Sunday replacing a broken line. By the beginning of
classes yesterday morning the
gas lines were in full operation.

Although official approval has not yet been
received from either LCC or the State Board of
Education, LCC's Industrial Technology Department is into its second week of a "revised"
welding program that has caused dissension
among both welding instructors and second-year
students.
Stating that he was not going to spend another
year "waiting for red tape/' Industrial Technology Department Chairman Bud Land introduced a welding program to the LCC Curriculum based on what he called a "10 point plan."
The program, Land said, is designed to teach
skills which welding employers in the local area
have told him they wanted their welders to have.
The program, he said, will give more welding experience to first year welding students than
did the previous porgram. But a major drawback of the program, according to a few secondyear students, is that they can no longer gain
state certification as welders unless they take
Adult Education courses in the evenings.
"How do I tell my company that I have to
work days now instead of nights because I want
to go to school at night?" questioned secondyear welding student Pat Gary. "I have to work;
I have a wife and three kids. But the company
doesn't bend to my needs. I have to bend to
their needs. It seems the school should have
some type of commitment to the student who
started the program last year," Gary added.
Another problem the department faces is official confirmation from both the LCC Board of
Education and the Oregon State Board of Education. Without it the department cannot assure
students that they will receive credit for the
course; and the school is not guaranteed it
will receive state reimbursement.
Before the course is sent to ~he LCC Board
it must be examined at several levels: First,
it must be examined by the Curriculum Committee (scheduled to meet today at 4 p.m.);
then the Instructional Council must make a recommendation to the LCC President either to approve- or disapprove the program; the LCC
President must in turn make a recommendation
to the Board. If the Board approves the course
of instruction it is then sent to the State Board
of Education for their approval or disapproval.
Gerald Rasmussen, associate dean of instruction, said, however, that the course was explained
to the State Department of Education and they
agreed, in concept, with the structure of the
course.
Rasmussen admitted that teaching the course
before it gains official approval is a "highly

irregular way of proceeding," but, he continued,
"the Administration made the decision that the
program needed revising badly enough to justify doing it in a highly irregular way."
LCC Welding Instructor John Shuster expressed dissatisfaction with the new program,
saying he felt the new program was "a step
backwards." Students who graduated from last
year's welding program had no trouble getting
a job, he added.
But Land said the employment problem was one of the reasons the course
was revised. Welders who were graduated from
LCC's welding program as it was structured

last year had bad reputations as welders, Land
explained.
Buck Bailey, LCC Student Placement
. perhaps one of the reasons LCCdirector
said
welding'
graduates seemed to have a bad reputation was
because some students would only take a few
welding courses at LCC and then tell employers
that they had graduated from the welding program. When the employers found out the employee could not weld proficiently they would
become critical of LCC's welding program.
Another welding instructor, Chet Aubrey said
if there was an unemployment problem aU:ongst
LCC's welding graduates it was only because a
few local shops "don't want to pay good wages,
so the boys won't work for them."
Aubrey also expressed concern about the program revision because it requires second year
students to take evening courses for their state
certification. He said those who were going
to school on the GI Bill might not be able to
t'ake enough hours at night to receive their full
veterans benefits.
Another second year welding student, Joe
Webb, said he didn't like the new program because
·he doesn't "care about taking the same things
over again." Webb explained that much of what
he was being taught this year he had been taught
last year. "But," he admittted, "all the experience a man can get will help him.''
Frank Graber, a former welding student who
fought last year for changes in the program,
stated that the way it is changed this year wasn't
what he had in mind. He explained that students
had no part in the revision. He said one of the
factors that made him decide not to return to
LCC this year was the new program.
The 10 points on which department head Land
based the program revision are the result of
suggestions, over the last two years from the
Welding Lay Advisory Committee. The commit(Continued page 3)

Keeping tabs on student-oriented bills

M 'o re represe ntation for students goal of OSA
by Douglas Cudahey·

A new organization which could possibly give the student
population attending high schools, colleges and universities throughout the state more representation in the state's legislature was
born last academic year, despite early ciisagreement on methodology and organization.
The Oregon Student Association (O~A) held two days of meetings this summer at the University of Oregon in an attempt to better
structure its organizational structure and streamline its efficiency.
In the fourth meeting since its founding eight months ago, OOA
delegate:::., representing eight charter schools, drew up a constitution and by-laws and elected an executive committee of four.
Early in its development there was talk among delegates to
steer ChA towards the role of a lobby organization based in Salem-lobbying for student related issues which come before the state
legislature. But the majority of the delegates favored 03A becoming a clearing house, disseminating information from a Salembased office, manned by volunteers, when pertinent issues come
before the legislature. There was strong opposition of physical
lobbying by the organization.

Uf the eight schools presently represented in the OSA three
are universities, two are community colleges, and three are four
_ye3:r colleges. LCC, one of the two community colleges represented, is a charter member of the organization.
It was also decided that organizational dues will be pro-rated
at one dollar per hundred studenb, depending upon the enrollment
of the school r~qu~sting membership. Dues will be collected yearly.
. . Membership m the OSA will not be limited because the organization hopes to reach high schools, private schools, and all schools of higher education.
.The OSA plans to increase its membership through an informational new_sletter explaining major bills which have been made
law or are m tM legislature at a particular time, and which will
affect Oregon students. The newsletter will also include the names
of persons to contact for information pertaining to specific bills
Voter registration and the ballot issue proposed by the Orego~

Editorial Comment
The Executive Cabinet of the
Student Senate is scheduled to
meet for the second time today
in an attempt to solidify an ASLCC
Constitution, By-laws, and fiscal
policy. If the Cabinet approves
of the documents then the full
Senate will vote on them. From
the Senate they will go to the
student booy for final approval.
LCC badly needs a stable Constitution and By-laws, but there
are parts of the documents that
the Cabinet is preparing to send
to the Senate with which we do
not 3:gree. We feel that some
problems should be resolved before they reach the student body
in order to prevent the student
body from sending the documents
back to the Senate for revision.
The first item we disagree
with is Article XV, Section
3.0 of the Constitution -- Recall and Referendum -- which
states: "Vacant positions in the
Executive Cabinet will be appointed by the President subject to ratification by the Senate and the appointee will serve
until the regularly scheduled election for that office as stated
in the By-laws." According to
the proposed By-laws, the elections for these positions would
be held during Spring Term.·
This means if any position
within the Executive Cabinet becomes vacant, the President may
appoint a person to serve until the end of the academic year.
Collectively, the Cabinet has the
power, as outlined in the proposed By-laws, to assume the
duties of the President in his
absence, conduct elections, direct student activities, disperse
funds upon Senate approval, coordinate all publicity for the
ASLCC, and perform the duties
of the President. The Cabinet
members receive tuition (based
on need) from student body funds.
In view of this, we feel that
when a position is vacant an
emergency election should be
called to allow the students to
decide who they wish to receive
these powers, responsibilities,
and possible benefits.
Elections at LCC couldn't
be that expensive, and even
though they may be time consuming for members of the Senate, are not the Senators elected to serve? _And isn't giving
students a choice as to who
is to occupy one of the most
powerful positions within the
Senate a very real service?We
think so.
Another item we disagree with
is Article XV, Section 1.0 of
the By-laws -~ also Recall and
Referendum -- which states:
"The _Judiciary Committee shall

consist of seven people, three
from the Student Senate and three
from the student body at large.
The Chairman of this committee
shall be appointed by the President." The Senate would select
the other six members.
The Judiciary Committee holds
hearings on all referendum petitions.
For example, should
the student body become dissatisfied with some measure and obtain the necessary signatures on
a referendum petition, the Judiciary Committee would then hold
hearings on the matter.
The
student body would be given the
opportunity to vote on the mea sure only if two-thirds ( five
out of seven!) decide to allow it.
To extend our example a bit
further: Suppose a measure in
question gives the Senate powers
which the student body feels the
Senate had misused but which
the Senate does not want to relinquish. Since the Senate selects
all members of the Judiciary
Committee, obviously they would
tend to select members who
agree with their point of view.
The result? Any ti me the
majority of the Senate doesn't
want a measure killed by the
student body the Senate could
select a committee which is likely to agree with them. Think
of the measures the Senate could
pass with very little fear of
student interference.
And, to make the ' situation
even more ridiculous, a new
committee would be selected for
each hearing, according to the
ASLCC President, Jay Bolton.
We suggest
two solutions;
either do away with the idea of

referendums go before the
student body on the basis of a
referendum petition alone; or
let the student body select a

If these items are taken care

then perhaps, and only perhaps,
would we be able to support

Letters to
the Editor
Dear Editor:
I write this letter to advertise
a spec i a 1 class on America's
greatest social disease. Every
two minutes someone gets VD and
the chances are over 50 per cent
that it will be someone our age.
VD has, for years, been considered "that dirty disease.''
Yet, this very social stigma has
allowed Venereal Disease to rise
to epidemic proportions. The
prevailing attitude has been '' it
can't happen to me/' or "that
only happens to dirty people"
or "maybe I'll be lucky," but
the unfortunate truth is that it
can and does happen to people
just like us. Two million people . a year contract a Venereal
Disease in the UnitedStates. Yet,
less than 1/4 of that number of
cases are reported. VD has increased among college and high
school age people 350 per cent in
the past 10 years and it is still
on the increase.
It's no laughing matter. VD is
a very serious problem. However, it is not the horrible, immoral, sinful monstei: that we
have been led to believe. It is,
quite simply, a communicable
disease and it can be beaten if
everyone is willing to help and
cooperate.
There will be a workshop on
VD Oct. 24 from 10 a.m.-12 noon,
and Oct. 25 from noon to 2 p. m. in
room 301 of the Forum Building.
The program will consist of a
panel headed by Bill Leslie, VD
case inspector for the Lane County Health Department; Ms. Connie Golden, women's representative for White Bird Clinic;
and Dr. David White, Lane County health officer. The program
will also include a film presentation and a "no-nonsence" question and answer session.
VD is everybody's problem.

and Construction. Wear on automobiles, time and expense for
grading and regraveling, and the
general complaint of illegal parking, were the primary factors
considered when the old weatherbeaten, moon surface-like parking lot next to the Science Building was blocked off, at the beginning of Fall Term.
Upkeep of the lot cost about
$800 a year for grading and regraveling, Cox said. He listed
several other reasons why he
closed the lot for parking pur..;
poses; the first being that the
area was never declared a parking lot. Cox said students and staff
members started using the lot
for parking when the construction
crews finished LCC although the
area was unpaved.
Cox stated that illegal parking
on the driveway shoulders into
the lot as well as people parking
in fashion had also been major

problems. So much so that many
people wanting to leave school
found themselves surrounded by
other parked cars making an
exit impossible. , 1n some cases
people had to wait three or four
hours before the owners of the
parked cars returned, Cox said.
Any hope of re -opening the
area, Cox said, would be completely out of the question, even
if it were to be paved. Cox
was surprised, however, that no
one has complained of the closure.

Flag in fashion
(CPS)-- US District Judge Levin Cambell of Boston ruled recently that it is not a crime
to wear a US flag sewn on the
seat of your pants.
Judge Cambell" said that there
is such a widespread use of the
flag on cars, jackets, sweaters,
coats and elsewhere that it could
not be considered a crime to wear
it on pants.

Student involvement stressed
Sept. 26 was National Student
Government Day at LCC the executive members of the student
government held an informal session to introduce themselves to
the student body. The main theme
was student involvement (or rather, the lack of it).
The cabinet members included
Jay Bolton, ASLCC President;
Chuck Packnett, first vice-president; Kenny Walker, second vicepresident; Jack Haft, publicity
director; and David Red Fox,
treasurer. Also included in the
program were Dr. Eldon Schafer,
president of LCC, and JayJones,
Student Senate advisor.
Each spoke to the small crowd
gathered in the cafeteria, stressing that student involvement is
the key to a successful and memorable schcHastic year.
Bolton finished the one hour
program, saying, '' There are
problems in this school with student involvement. Students seem
to react to LCC like it's a super-

PROTO TOOLS

market: come in, get your merchandise, and out ag-ain." Bolton
said that, '' one of the most important parts of your schooling
is relationships with others of
different cultures and backgrounds. The students pay a five
dollar fee and the student government would like to be able to
show something for their money.
In order to elimmate apathy, get
involved."

water line installed between the
Agate Street reservoir and the
Bloomberg Reservoir near the
LCC campus. The college was
to repay the money over a three
year period ending in October,
1970 at a rate of $500 per month.
However, neither EWEB nor
LCC's auditing department,
(Rowan, Iskra and Babcock) reviewed the contract and LCC
continued to pay EWEB for 23
months after the contract had
expired.
LCC Business Manager Bill
Watkins informed the TORCH
that he was completely unaware
of the overpayment until he received the check from EWEB.
"Most of the people who were
around when the contract was
made are no longer associated
with the college," he explained.
According to Watkins, the bulk
of the money received will be
applied to the general fund with
the balance going to offset a
$4 500 defecit in the LCC budget.
Superintendent of Facilities and Construction Bill Cox,
indicated that much of the problem is associated with not re•
viewing contracts after they expired.

Richard Diggs isn't an alcoholic.
He's a student at LCC. But, according
to him, one of the reasons he's a student
and not an alcoholic is the GI Bill. And
now he's trying to set-up a program that
will help other veterans get into school
and help them after they enroll.
His program, called Vets •Corps, would
be "a counseling center and publicity dispersal operation," for vets. According to
. Rick's proposal the Corps would "encourage
fellow veterans to use their GI Bill benefits.'.'
Rick feels that LCC needs such a program since LCC's Financial Aids Office
is understaffed, does not have the money
available for emergency loans vets often need
,,,,,.,,,,.. at the beginning of each year (veterans do
not receive their first checks until midNovember) and, most importantly, since
the people working in the office are not
veterans they never experienced the problems
of trying to budget one's life on the GI
Bill, nor do they know how to deal with
the many problems vets experience under
the present VA program. "If the Vets Corps
. is
-~
set-up according to my proposals," Rick
explained, "all staffers of the Corps will
be vets going to school on the GI Bill.
They will be familiar with the hassles
and know how to deal with them." Presently, finances are holding up the program.
"Dean Carter (Jack Carter, LCC dean of
students) looked at the program and liked
it and now he has made a request for federal
• funds. But we don't know if we will get any
money," Rick explained. He continued, "If

we don't get the federal funds we'll have
to go to other sources.''
Explaining the program further, Rick
said the Corps would actually go into the
community and talk to vets, would explain
their program to local organizations, and
would visit youth centers, churches and employment offices.
Once the vet is enrolled, the Corps
would tutor those who need and requested
special help, counsel and/ or direct the vet
to a special LCC counselor who is aware
of the special problems faced by veterans,
would assist in financial planning, would offer
personal contacts to the vet who is new to
the college environment and would disperse
the latest news on benefits and procedures
for using benefits. It would also establish
an advisory committee of local business and
professional people who are either veterans
themselves or interested in helping veterans
through Supervised Field Experience (SFE),
Work Study, or full and part time employment.
Rick said when he got out of the Navy
he didn't have a job and couldn't find one.
"I spent a year doing nothing but staying
drunk. I finally decided I had to do something
with my life so I started checking out
veterans benefits. I finally got into school,
but that would have been impossible if it
hadn't been for the GI Bill."
Ric·k hopes to get a degree in social
psychology and then go into counseling.
"I've experienced some of the hassles
and I think I could help others."

For 15 years Al had been an artist who depended upon his
eyes to create paintings and other art, and now he had to adjust
to the fact he was becoming blind. He tried awhile to use a white
cane to find directions, but it was slow and difficult. "Cane travel
was terrible for a young man who wanted to be in good physical
condition," he· recalls. After spending much time "just getting
used to becoming blind," he learned to work with a young male
German shepherd at the Guide Dogs for the Blind school at San
Rafael, Calif.
During the last few weeks, the dog and Al have been learning
to negotiate the difficult stairs, ramps, people traffic and other
obstacles at LCC. Al, who is studying a variety of subjects at LCC,
says th e '' rapport between master and animal is a beautiful re.:.
lationship." They work together, the man working the harness to
help direct the dog guiding the man. "People often have the idea
that a guide dog is something of a superdog, '' he says. Sometimes
the animal's attention wanders from its duties of helping the master,.
as evidenced in the photograph at the lower right; a happy dog
'digging up some dirt.

LCC's mod priest

The tall, balding man in the black suit and clerical collar is
starting a second year as a down-to:..earth, low-pressure chaplain
at LCC. Most of the college community seem to see him and his
style as a definite asset, though a few staff members and students
still don't know what to make of him.
Father James Dieringer, 40, whose salary and expenses are
paid by the Archdiocese of Portland, is no inconoclast. But he's
finding that he must pioneer a different approach in a campus
ministry
where
the "parishioners'' don't reside on campus.

Reverend Dieringer

And where the church-state separation issue makes it impossible for college officials to
offer him any tangible support,
such as office space.
The latter has had considerable
impact on his ability to serve.
"I just have to hang around the
cafeteria, drink coffee, and be
available," he says.
But he has no place on or
near the campus to conduct daily mass and religious education
classes, or space to share with
other churches he hopes will
join in the campus ministry.
And no place where he can counsel with people privately.
''Yesterday, I had a woman
with a messy divorce, you can't
talk about that in a cafeteria,"
he said.
Only once has a student asked him to hear a confession.

' I've had the feeling that people have wanted this, but there's
been no place to go."
Lack of a physical facility, he says, has been the only real
difficulty he has encountered. "I haven't been able to do much dreaming and planning for the future."
Serving a community college, he has found, is quite different
than working at Southern Oregon College, where he was chaplain
in 1968-70.
"This is a whole new ball game. Four-year schools tend to be
isolated communities unto themselves. Because Lane people live
in the community, I've got to keep an ear to the ground for local
problems which overflow onto the campus. And I've got to look
for different ideas as to what a community college ministry should
be."
One of his goals has been to help people relate better to their
local churches, both Catholic and Protestant. (Continued on page 8.)

Coalition to march
A group known as the October
14 Coalition is planning a nationwide demonstration against the
continuing involvement by the US
in Southeast Asia, more particularly, in Vietnam.
The October 14 Coalition was
recently started in San Fransisco
by a group known as the Union
of Vietnamese in the US-Vietnamese citizens living in the
United States.
According to Peter Jensen, a
member of the local October 14
Coalition group, the new antiwar group hopes to expose Nixon
Administration policies which
prolong the war. The group wants
to bring the Vietnam issue before the voters in light of the
upcoming elections.
In Eugene plans have been
executed for a rally at the University of Oregon followed by a
march. The march will leave
from the Unf versity and the Lane
County Fair Grounds simultaniously at 1 p.m. on Oct. 14.
The marchers will converge on
the downtown mall •to listen to
speakers, view movies and a
Guerilla Theatre ..
The local October 14 Coalition
meets on Fridays, 8 p.m. at the
Cent r a 1 Presbyterian Church,
Patterson and 15th Streets.

)Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of
weekly columns written by TORCH sports Editor Lex Sahonchik principally concerning sport
and sporting events on the campus and in the
community. The community occasionally includes
the known world).
The Lane Community College cross-country
team opened it's season Sept.23, participating
in the Mount Hood Community College Invitational Meet. As might be expected, Lane easily
powered to a victory over three opponents. LCC
finished with 29 points, Mt. Hood scored 51, the
Portland Track Club compiled 52 points, and Clackamas Community College finished out of the
running (no pun intended) with 123 points. (Crosscountry scoring awards the win to the lowest
scoring team).
The meet opened an eight-meet season for
Lane, a season climaxed by the National Junior College Championships on Nov.ll in Pensacola, Florida.
Coach Al Tarpenning's harriers will attempt
to duplicate the outstanding performances of
last year's squad, the National Junior College
Region 18 Champions and the prospects look good
for the Titans this year - returning from last
year are Dale Hammitt, Oregon Community
Co 11 e g e Athletic Association champion and

I

runnerup in the Region 18 Championships; Bili'~·
Cram, who was the second place finisher in
the OCCAA Championships and third in the Region 18 meet; Randy Griffith, third in the OCCAA
Championships and seventh in regionals; and
Garrie Franklin, seventh in the OCCA.A Championships.

In addition to the four are Titan veterans
Godwyn Smith of Guiana, Mike Smith of Crow,
Rich Early of Junction City, and Gene Cook of
Elmira.
Tarpenning says: 'This squad has the potential of being the strongest team in the school's
history." It might just have to be in order to
equal the record of last year's team. First
through seventh places were swept by Lane in
the OCCAA Championships last Fall, with seven
medal winners who we;e first team AU-Conference --the first time in the conference history that it happened.
Tarpenning may be able to find out just how
good his squad is, by advancing to the Nationalslast year's team was not allowed to advance past
the regionals after- winning that crown due to
an LCC Board of Education Policy restricting
such travel.

lCC cross country team
Garrie Franklin leads a few of the Lane cross country team
in a warm-up lap at LCC. Saturday the Titans scored an impressive win during a three school meet in Pendleton. Lane's "A"
team won the meet with 32 points while the "B" team took second
place honors with 37 points. Lane runners swept the first seven
places in the meet. Clackamas Community College placed third
and Blue Mountain Community College placed last.

P.E. Dept. open for students
by Lex SahonchilcThe Lane Community Coliege
Physical Education and Athletic
Departments have opened their
doors to another academic year,
urging LCC students to participate in it's many and varied
programs of sport and recreation. Only slight modifications
alter this year's procedures from
last year's.
For a three dollar towel fee
per term the facilities at Lane
are open to students, including
both recreational and theraputic
means for athletic enjoyment and
physical fitness. The sauna bath,
basketball courts, b ad mint on
courts, track and field, weight
room, exercise tables and ping
pong tables are all available
for student and faculty use as
well as equipment necessary for
some of those activities.
One of the changes, according
to Physical Education Director t
Richard Newell, is the requirement of presenting a student
body card in order to check out
equipment (such as basketballs:
and ping pong balls and paddles).
Students, as before, will be responsible for damaged and lost
equipment that they have checked
out.
This year PE classes will adopt
one of last year's experimental
programs--two different classes
within the same time slot in the
same term. The classes will meet
for only five-weeks while receiving the same credit as the classes
meeting for a full term. This
program will be instituted in both
Fall and -Spring Terms to take
advantage of the good weather.
This program will increase the
class offerings and will differ
only in the amount of time the
students meet during the clas.s
day.

students regardless of their athletic abilities or experience. The
Lane Community College intramural sports program is literally
unlimited in the different types
of sports and activities offered.
Any activity a student finds interesting can be included in the
intramurals. All that's required
is contacting the LCC Athletic
Directpr, Bob Radcliff•.
Presently planned programs
include flag football, three and
five man basketball, tennis, badmi n.t on, horseshoes, handball,
weightlifting an ct power lifting,
volleyball, softball, golf and two
different '' estimated timed runs''
(one just prior to Thanksgiving
•and one during Spring Term).
In o·r der for the intramurals to
be a success student participation
is a must, so with that in mind .
any student with any ideas and any
student wishing to participate in
the intramurals is asked to contact Radcliff in the Health and
PE Dept.
A 1on g with intramurals the
A.thletic Department also offers
two additional sport activitiesextramurals and inter-collegiate
athletic competition. The difference between the two is eligibility rules and conference affiliation existing in the intercollegiate
athletics but not present in the
extramurals. LCC intercollegiate and extramural teams play
other college teams here and
away.
Extramural sports for men in
the fall consist of soccer competition, while women participate
in field hockey. Winter finds
men in gymnastics and volleyball,
and women in basketball. Spring

schedules men's tennis and women's tennis and track and field.
Inter-collegiate activities in
the fall are cross -country and

and basketball. Spring changes to
track and field and baseball.
In addition to all of the preceding activities open for student
participation Lane is also offering a co-ed performing dance
group.
AU-in-all, the student at Lane
Community College has little to
complain about as far as available athletic programs are concerned.

Dieringer "positive force" at LCC
(continued from page four)
'' Most of the people I talk
to are Protestants," he says.
"I don,t know why, really. They
find this guy sitting there and
are curious."
And at least 85 per cent of the
LCC community is protestant.
"I don't see my work as exclusively Catholic. I make no
bones about it, I am definitely
.a Catholic. But then, I'm a Christian. I'll help anyone as much
as I can."
He believes that the campus
ministry should break down barriers to understanding and tolerance. High on his "bristle" list
are the notions that Catholics
can't be trusted in public office
because of their church's ties
to Rome, that the church operates
in secrecy, and that a priest is
a "holy man on a mountain"
rather than a real human being.
His aversion to the latter has
confused some who cling to the
stereotype of the priestly role.
He has made a point of being
open and available and ready to
tackle any subject in sometimes
outspoken terms.
"He's the wierdest priest I've
ever seen," exclaims a woman
of about 21. "He doesn't conduct
himself the way a m in is t e r
should-very pious, quiet, kind
of introvertive-you know, like
a minister."
''He's aphoneypriest,'' insists
a male staff member. "Father
(local parish priest) would have
a heart attack if he heard him."
Such ractions, however, are in
a distinct minority. "I had to
respect him after hearing him
take on a guy who trotted out
that old saw about priests getting
drunk on communion wine," says
an LCC administrator. ''He really rammed that story back down
the guy's throat."
Father Dieringer acknowledges that "Catholics aren't too
used to seeing their priest sitting
there." Or to hearing a priest
called "Jim," "Father Jim,"
"Pappa Jim," etc. Or to the
minimalization of the attitude
of fear and reverence toward
the priesthood.
"I just leave the form of address open to whatever the people
prefer,'' he says.
His garb, like his title, is traditional, but informally so. "I
always have my collar along, but
in my pocket--not necessarily around my neck. If I didn't have
this, I'd have to have a sign
of some kind."
A visitor on a hot day might
find him in sandals, but they're
black. His only other visible
concession to modernity in appearance are close-cropped mutton chop sideburns.

·'I don't meet people with the

have pat answers, but I have the
means to work toward answers."
This approach to his LCC chaplaincy (he's the only full-time
community college minister of
any denomination in the state)
has won him considerable respect.
Says a native American student: "He's a very trustworthy
man. Students feel they can take
him into their confidence and
he won't betray them."
A male sociology student: '' I've
seen people come to school really
depressed, and he's helped them
significantly."
Female history major: "He's
a very nice man. He listens to
people. I've seen him help people
who didn't feel they could go to
anyone else."
Pre-law student: "He's wonderful, a nice guy who's willing
to discuss anything with you and
willing to give advice if you ask
for it.''
LCC President Eldon Schafer:
"I have received no criticism of
his activities in any way. To
the best of my knowledge, he has
been a very positive force on
campus."
"I think I have received a
very good welcome to LCC,"
says Father Dieringer. "Some
people think they don't need all
the customary externals of the
practice of religion, but they' re
certainly looking for answers to
ultimate questions. There's a
great longing for what religious
faith has to offer."
His work, however, is hot all
religious counseling.
'' Sometimes people have just
needed a sympathetic shoulder.
Maybe a college counselor was
not available for one reason or
another. Or a student didn't want
to talk to anyone connected with
the college."
He says a "surprising" number of students talk about their
school work, ask for encouragement, directions.
He finds his role as one meeting this wide variety of needs.
"In Spokane they have a street
ministry. They're just there to
help people. I kind of look on
my work at LCC as like that.
It's being available to help in
whatever way people need it."
