A 49 state electorial landslide carried President Richard
Nixon into his second term as
chief executive as his Democratic opponent, Senator George
McGovern pick up only the District of Columbia and the state
of Massachusetts for a total of
17 electorfal votes. In his landslide victory Nixon garnished
approximately 62 per cent of the
national popular vote.
The State elections saw Senator
Mark Hatfield and Fourth District Congressman Dellenback
retain their seats by substansial
margins. Two ballot measures
important to LCC students also
were in the light as the returns
came in. Measure 9, the Farm
Bureaus me as u re eliminating
property tax for support of
schools, down to a resounding 2
to 1 defeat while measure 21,
the LCC measure increasing the

LCC operational base, passed
easily by over- 300 votes, easily
•topping most current LCC voting
records. (See story this page.)
Shortly before 8 p.m. (PST),
Nixon told a national television
audience that both major parties
are united in a desire for peace.
"We are moving swiftly toward
that great goal. . .we are on
the eve of what could be the greatest generation of peace that man
has known", the incumbent winner said.

A few moments earlier, McGovern conceded defeat at Sioux
Falls, South Dakota. He said that
if his campaign has brought the
nation closer to peace, the ef·fort was worth any sacrifices.
An unofficial count showed Nixon leading McGovern by over
13 million votes. The President
swept the entire West, South and
the populous Northern states with
Maryland pushing him over the

The final election poll
The above picture was taken at Westmoreland Community
Center in Eugene where election officials, as in all the county
precincts , were kept busy as 80 per cent of the counties voters

average Nation voter turn out. (Photo by Ole Hoskinson)

Lane County sees three new faces

by Paul Waldschmidt
Three new faces will be seen
in the three county wide offices
that were contested in Lane
County yesterday. By 12:30 this
morning 100 per cent of the ballot
had been tabulated.
In the heavily contested district attorney's race, challenger
J. Pat Horton defeated incumbent
Robert Naslund 47,330 to 44,003.
Horton, 30, a former assistant district attorney, told the
TORCH that, '' the issue on drugs
was the swing point in the campaign.''
"The election boiled down..•
to the priorities each of us gave
to the direction law enforcement
will take. Mine was contemporary,'' he concluded.
Frank Elliott (D) was returned
to the office of county commissioner after a two year absence
over his two opponents, Andy
Maxon (R) and William Wooten
(Independent). Elliott, with 35,204
votes to Maxon's 30,974 and Wooten's 29,412, lead the returns all
evening, pushing ahead his final
margin of 4,230 with late returns from the coast.
Contacted ·by the TORCH, Elliott said that "he was surprised
at Wooten's showing." And felt
that Wooten cut into his total,
"because we're both really Dem-

ocrats."
David Burks (D) captured the
office of Lane County Sheriff
with 56,547 votes in another
three-way race. Barney Issel
(R) pulled 23,804 and Independent David Larry ran up a total
of 16,607.
Burks, a lieutenant of detectives from the sheriff's office,
stayed well ahead of his opponents all through the evening's returns.
The break down of Multomah
county's ballot counting compute rs yesterday evening left the
outcome of the state-wide contests in doubt. With incomplete
returns from the Portland area,
only 64 per cent of the statewide vote had been counted as
of 2 a.m. today. ...
Incumbent Clay Myers (R) led
Beulah Hand (D) 203,000 to 119,799
in the race for Secretary of State
as of 2 a.m.
In the race for state treasurer
Democrat James Redden was ahead of Republican Craig Berkman with a sizable lead ofl43,000
to 99,767.
.
Lee Johnson (R), the incumbent
attorney general was successfully fending off a challenge by
Joe Smith (D) with partial returns giving Johnson 236,246 to
Smi~h's 198,769.

by Douglas Cudahey

Two measures passed by county and state voters yesterdayMeasure 9 and Mesure Zl--compliment the existence of LCC.
Meaure 9 passed by a 2-1 margin continuing the support of ·
property taxes to education.
The masure, put on the ballot by the Oregon Farm Bureau, if
passed, would have cut all funding from property taxes to education
in the state. Schools in Oregon would have had to wait until the
state legislature reconvened to establish a new sourse of funding.
County Measure 21 also passed, giving LCC an increase in its
operating base of funding from the tax payers.
The measure asked property tax payers to fund LCC at the
current level of enrollment in the hopes it would not be necessary
to conduct the annual request for additional money.
other state and county measures results: (With 60 per cent of
the state and 83 per cent of the county ballots tallied.)
State Measure 1--allowing public institutions to be built outside
of Marion County-was passed by the voters with a three to one
margin in favor of the measure.
Qualifications for county sheriff as set by the legislature-Measure 2--was passed with a vote tally of 298,619 in favor and
151,515 against the amendment.
State Measure 3, an amendment to the constitutional limit
on indebtedness of counties, was reacted by a vote of 239,767
saying no, 176,403 saying yes.
Whether or not religious or theological institutions will receive tax money with which fo operate.Measure 4, was answered
with a stiff no. The proposal was defeated two to one.
The size of a jury, Meas u re 5 in Oregon will be cut a
minimum of six passing by a margin of three to one.
Measure 6, which liberalizes the loan eligibility requirements
of Oregon citizens who are veterans having served between the
years of 1940-47 and 1950-60 passed by 361,681 in favor to 64,309
against.
Governors' will not receive any funds from the Governors'
Retirement Fund as Measure 7 --which repeals the Governors'
Retirement Act, 1971- was favored by the voters with 281,211
yes, and 144,074 voting against.
Measure &-the succession to office of Governor was changed
by the voters, allowing the Secretary of State and State Treasurer to
succeed the governor.
The two county measures ended up with number 21, LCC
tax base, passing and Measure 10 failing. Measure 10--a charter
amendment that called for an increase in the number of County
Commissioners from three to five was defeated by the voters in
Lane County by a margin of two-one.

270 electoral votes needed for a
second White House term at
6:25 p.m. (PST) ...
Though Nixon's victory was in

record breaking fashion, his
"coat tails failed to sweep the
Republicans into control of the
Congress as had been hoped by
many of the President's party.
In spite of Nixon's victory, the
Democrats continued to show National strength as they captu red
a majority of the Senatorial and
Governorships up for grabs, and
maintained Congressional control.
In the US Senate race between
two Oregon Liberals incumbent
Senator Mark 0, Hat fie 1d triumphed over his opponant, former Senator Wayne Morse. The
race seems to have been decided
by the former senator's age and
the Senate senority system. With
approximately 60 per cent of the
state's votes tabulated by press
time, Hatfield was leading Morse
with a comfortable lead.
Lane County Hatfield Campaign
Chairman, George Al vergue
commented last night that Morse
was probably "the toughest"
competition Hatfield could have
had. He said both candidates conducted "a clean campaign.''
Hatfield, age 50, resides in
Newport, with his wife, Antoinette, and their four children (two
sons and two daughters). Hatfield by profession is a educator
ruid has been an instructor and
Dean of Students at Willamette
University. His public services
has been as a State representative, 1951-55, State Senator,
1955-57, Oregon Secretary of
State, 1957-59, Governor, 195967, and US Senator from 1967
to present.
The Fourth District Congressional contest saw the incumbant
jumping off to a lead early in
the evening and increasing his
lead as the night wore on. At
11:15 p.m. (PST) Congressman
John Dellenback, the apparent
winner, was 28,000 votes ahead
of his cha 11 anger Democrat
Charles o. Porter. In the later
stages of the night Dellenback told
the TORCH that he thought his
campaign was a good one--" Any
campaign you suceed in winning
is a good campaign," he said.
Dellenback, 54, is an attorney,
and when not in congressional
session, resides in Medford with
his wife, Mary Jane, and his
daughter and two sons. His public
service record has been as a
5tate representative from 196167 1 and the Fourth District Congressma;, from 1967-present.

their budgets.
"We presented the Senate with an honest budget/' he said, "so we have no extra money
left over."
We can understand monetary problems -- but
that includes monetary problems of students as
well as the Athletic Department.
So, before the Senate allots the $350 to the
rally squad, we suggest they form a task committee to meet with the Athletic Department
to see if there isn't some other funding available besides the student's pocket.

This school year the ASLCC budget alloted
$25,000 to the Athletic Department -- $7,400
more than it alloted last year. This accounts
for $1.18 of the $5 each full-time student pays
in student body fees each term.
When Marty Stalick first began the formation
of the rally squad he asked the Athletic Department for full funding. They said no, so
he asked if they would fund one-half of the
squad if the Student Senate were to fund the
The TORCH extends it sincerest congratulations to Coach Al Tarpenning and his cross country
team. The team not only took a perfect score in
competition at the state level but Saturday took
a perfect score at the regional level. The team
now travels to Pensacola, Florida where they
will meet America's best junior college cross
country runners. We have an idea LCC will come
out on top there too.
Actually, to get to Florida Tarpenning and the

Athletic Department not only had to contend without
running the best runners in the region but had
to get past a Board policy that prohibited national
competition for LCC.
But that policy has now been changed, Tarpenning's team has shown they are the best and

We wish the team rain in Florida--that should
certainly give LCC an advantage!

"Well I'm only trying to save you some

from the local VA office. Unwilling to attempt
another call to the Portland office, the reporter obtained as much information as he
could from the local office and settled for that.

After spending a considerable amount of time
trying to get the- LCC phone -lines, ·the reporter
was finally successful in :setting through to the
Portland office. The following conversation went
something like this:
"Hello Veterans Administration."
"Yes, this is a reporter for the Lane

Again, the Department said

According to Robert Radcliff, LCC athletic
director, the Department has no money it can
allot to such a program He said he agrees
that a rally squad would benefit LCC, but the
squad was not planned for in the budget, so
no
money is available. He explained that
"every penny" the Athletic Department has is
already budgeted for some program. In fact,
he explained, some programs are going over

We are not in opposition to the idea of a
rally squad -- we agree with its creator that
it would probably help promote LCC athletic
events -- but we are in opposition to students
paying for the squad while other funding is
available.

-Special Report from Washington -

SECRET SERVICE CONFETTI
By Jack Anderson

1!)72 Pulitzer Prize Winner for National Reporting
(Copyriirht, 19i2, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

WASHINGTON-Tons of
confetti hit the fan when President Nixon paraded majestically through downtown Atlanta last month.
The litter poured out of
office windows as the President passed by. The President
was delighted, but at least one
Southerner, 19-year-old bank
clerk Marian Landis , was appalled.
Once the downpour had begun, Mrs. Landis tried to put a
stop to a confetti operation in
a building near where she
works. She trooped up to the
tenth floor of the William
Oliver Building where she expected to find employees
throwing paper snow.
Instead, she found an office
suite filled with a half-dozen or
more men in shirt sleeves
hauling bags of confetti in
front of a huge fan_ The man
who greeted her at the door
. was armed with a pistol in a
shoulder holster.
"I was surprised,"• Mrs.
Landis told us, but she was
still angry enough to deliver a
stinging anti-litter speech.
"When I asked him to quit,
he refused,'' she said. "When I
asked him who he was, he said
• he was a Secret Service agent.
I could tell they weren't
volunteers."
The Secret Service denies
that any of its agents were in
the room, but it admits that it
frequently uses local law officials to monitor confetti operations along parade routes for
security reasons.
But the only apparent security involved here was making
sure the President was well
received.

-Trasic DelaysDisabled citizens who have
been turned down for Sociai
Security benefits are encountering huge delays in appealing
their cases before government
hearing examiners.
A serious shortage of hearing examiners, we have learned, has caused delays of six
months to a year for thousands of citizens across the
country.
Right now, there are 33,000
disabled citizens awaiting
hearings and only 336 judges
authorized to listen to them.
That ~dds up to a backlog of
about 100 cases for every
hearing examiner. And every
day, the backlog gets worse.
In Cleveland alone. hearing
examiners are falling behind at
a rate of 35 cases a month.
In human terms, the delays
can be tragic. Paula Hanley of
Akron , Ohio, for example, has
suffered from multiple sclerosis since 1970. She has been
bedridden for at least 12
months of the last two years.
A mother of two, she and her
husband can't pay the mounting medical bills. She has
waited six months for a hearing date and still none has

been set.
In another documented
case, a 35-year-old father of
three became so upset over his
poor health and tai1ure to get a
response from Social Security
that last month he simply
dropped out of sight. The man
had been out of work since last
January when he was forced to
. quit his job because he had
emphysema - a chronic lung
condition. His family is now
almost penniless .
The Bureau of Hearings and
Appeals has requested money
for twice as many examiners
to handle the backlog of case·s .
But we have learned the request has been denied.
- A Yippie RevoltYoung radicals, dejected by
their failure to whip up antiestablishment sentiment this
election year, apparently have
turned against three elders of
the Yippie movement - Abbie
Hoffman, Jerry Rubin and Ed
Sanders.
Four years ago, the three
Yippies led the youth demonstrations in Chicago -against
the system. But this year they
are urging followers to work
within the system and vote

against Richard Nixon.
Their views are spelled out
in a new book, "Vote," which
they co-authored after covering the political conventions in
Miami Beach last summer.
Since their return from
Miami Beach las_t August. all
three have been victims of
harrassment by former followers. Here are some examples
which we have carefully
verified:
9\Jerry Rubin's car has been
vandalized - or "trashed," as
the radicals put it - on two
different occassions. The last
time, damage was so extensive
he junked it. Three days later,
someone threw a rock through
Rubin's front window in the
middle of the night.

•Ed Sanders has had similar
car trouble. His car windows
were smashed. the tires were
slashed and a foreign subsfance was poured in the gas
tank. Sanders, furthermore ,
has . been threatened with
physical harm .
•Abbie Hottman went on
tour to promote the book and
everywhere he wen t letters
mysteriously preceded him .
The letters, written on Yippie
stationery, denounced the
three co-authors as over-thehill hippies who are trying to
exploit the "movement. "
Their publisher, furthermore, has been inundated with
hate mail. One envelope contained human waste.
The zany trio refuses to
discuss who is after them. But
the word is out that the
''crazies'' - as the young
anarchists are called - now
regard Abbie Hoffman, Jerry
Rubin and Ed Sanders, of all
people, as establishment capitalists.

Physician, dentist, nurses
complete new health team

Student nurses
added to staff-

Operating on an expanded budget of $15,000 as a result of the
student vote last year, LCC's Student Health Services is now in
a period of transition. They are not yet fully operative but are
enjoying an expansion of services offered last year.
The health clinic was established for emergency situations
first aid, referrals, the prevention and control of communicabl~
diseases and counseling. It is free for the student's use and is open
daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with doctor's service from 8-12.
The dental clinic, set up to faciliate the education of the Paradental students is available to LCC students at no charge on Wednesdays from 9 a.m to noon. Appointments can be made through the
Dental office.
For further information, contact Health Services Coordinator
~ohn Loeber in his office on the second floor of the Center Building,
m the new student senate offices.

John Redfield M.D.

Dianne Taylor
This year LCC has a new
Student Health Services nurse,
Ms. Dianne Taylor. She has
· • replaced the retirir,g Ellene
Goldsmith who has been the health
services nurse for the pas~
several years.
Ms. Taylor has no immediate
plans for any major changes in
the present student health plan,
but she commented she would
like to continue with the work
Ms. Goldsmith has begun. Ms.
Taylor's duties include counseling,
initiating student referrals, being available for

emergencies, and seeing that the
new
health
programs
are
carried-out. She will also be
working to instruct student
nurses, and she will assist the
LCC physician~ Dr. Thomas Redfield.
A graduate from the University
of Oregon's School of Nursing,
Ms. Taylor has also worked at
Sacred Heart General Hospital
in Eugene. She previously held
a position at a local Portland
hospital in Public Health before
accepting her position at LCC.

"Helping people feel well enough to go to school'' is the goal
of LCC's expanded health services, according to Dr. John T. Redfield,
the latest addition to the health program at Lane. Until a week ago
a doctor was on campus only on Wednesdays, but since Dr. Redfield's
arrival, LCC's free medical services have been extended to Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon.
Since the extended program is new and facilities are yet limited,
the medical services are now dealing basically with first aid and
screening illnesses. But they can arrange help for students to find
a means to pay for prescriptions if the student cannot afford it
at the time of his or her need.
Dr. Redfield said that '' what we can do is limited. It isn't and
never will be a _total health c:ire center,'' but he also commented
that some ideas for future expansion include
development of facilities for a VD clinf. ~, pregnancy testing, and mono detection.
Originally from the East Coast, and a University of Wisconsin graduate, Redfield has lived in · Eugene for the past six years. During that time he worked as physician for employees of Weyerhauser company in Springfield, and
helped to lay the groundwork for Whitebird
Clinic in Eugene.
When not at LCC, Redfield works at his own
private practice of "industrial medicine" where
he acts as consultant to small industries in
need of health services. "I constder myself a
worker for the workers,'' he commented.

her third year at LCC as a fulltime nurse. With a master's
degree in health education, several year's experience at Sacred
Heart Hospital, and as a grade
school nurse for District 4-J,
,
Ms. Oswald says her professional
interests have become community-oriented. ''I feel the community has to stay healthy as
a whole rather than concentrating

on one individual."

Ms. Oswald can be found in
the Health Services office every
weekday from 8 a.m. to4:30p.m.

Ms. Dianne T a y 1o r , a new

I,.,CC's on-campus dentist, Dr. Ray Rickett,
has spent his last three and one-half years here,
after graduating from the University of Oregon
in 1968. He works at LCC with dental assistant
trainees enabling them to get actual chair-side
experience.
Rickett and his assistants treat patients five
days a week. The patients, all members of the
community, receive care through several state
programs, including the Neighborhood Youth
Corps, the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, and on Wednesday mornings he examines
between 9 and 12 LCC students. Children's
Welfare patients see the dentist on Wednesday
afternoons, Thursdays, and Fridays. The d~ntal

•$2,800.
Available to LCC students are services including extractions, front-tooth root canals,denture fitting, and decay fillings. There is no charge
to the student.
Dr. Rickett also pointed out that any student
can have his/her teeth cleaned and have a full
set of X-rays performed by the dental hygiene
program on campus . The charge for these services is $4.

OSPIRG fate lies in LCC Student election
by Ron Hamblen
The styles of chess sets a- bound in multiplicity, ranging all
the way from the realistic portrayal of Knights on horses in
shining ivory armour to abstracted globs of bone, circa
eighth century, A.D. 1 that look
more like the scale model for
a Henry Moore work than a chess
set.
.
Cubism, the father (or mother)
of modern art, developed from
a study of African Art Forms,
and thus is a ''modern!' (twentieth century) development. But
the historv of abstracted chess
sets goes back much further,
goes back, actually, to the conquest of the Persian Empire by
the Arabs. The mighty Arabic
warriors were themselves conquered by the fascination of chess
as played by the Persians (Persia
had been conquered by the game
when that empire defeated lndia.)o
But the Arabs were of the
Must- mic faith, and as such their
religion denied them the pleasure
of images even on a chessboard_
Pictur~s, statues, everything that
might represent the connotations
of a realistic •'idol," was forbidden to them .
The fas c in at ion of chess,
though, was already victorious;
it was too strong to be denied,
Since they could (or would) not
give up the game, the Arabs
changed the way the pieces looked. They abstracted the forms
to avoid Religious Structures
against realistic figures. And,
they were thus able to happily
go on playing The Game, spreading it throughout their empire,
in the cities and around the camp-

LCC bands plan
novelty concert
for entertainment
" From .Junk to Rock," the
LC~ band concert scheduled for
Nov. 30 at Willamette High
School, will feature the Lane
Symphonic and Beginning Bands.
The accent will be on the unusual-music played on junk.
The Symphonic Band will perform classical and rock music.
One of the numbers will feature
the percussion section's use of
tire rims and other assorted junk
to create effects that normally
require the use of specialized
instruments. "Popcorn," a popular song by Kingsley, will make
use of the Moog synthesizer for
another unusual effect.
The Beginning Band will make
its debut under the direction
of a band member conducting the
band as part of their course in
music theoryo
There is no admission charge
to the 8 p.m. concert.

fires--using another contribution
to the game that was made necessary by a nomadic, conquesting
existence: the roll-up chessboard
(made of leather).
As a footnote, it should maybe
be added that only in the last
few years has the concept of
roll-up plastic chessboards come
to-the-fore in our modern society.

The q u e st ion of whether
ffiPIRG will remain on campus
as a viable organization may be
decided at the student elections
slated for Nov. 15, according to
Jon Haterius, ffiPIRG chairman.
Haterius explained that the Student Senate and the college Board
of Education have indicated they
were unhappy with the lack of
student participation· in LCC's
ffiPIRG chapter. Though no official communication has been
exchanged over the matter, Haterius said, it was implied that
ffiPIRG should have a minimum
of three members if they wanted
to continue collecting funds from
the student body.
Haterius said that he currently
has three people interested in
becoming ffiPIRG board members but that they still must be
put on the student ballot and run
for election to the post.
On Tue s d a y of last week,
a;·PIRG attorney Neil Robblee,
was on the LCC campus talking

Students to produce
educational shows
'' Production of educational television shows by students at
LCC will be a common thing in the future;· said Virginia De
Chaine, chairwoman of the Mass Communications Department in
a recent TORCH interview. "The students have the talent/' shP
said "and we as educators have to supply the leadership to utilize
the facilities that are available to us.·•
Ms. De Chaine said that future broadcasting efforts would
use the television cable system much the same as the University
of Oregon now uses cable channel 10 for their productions. "We
have in the past use_d the cable for sporting events and news programs·· she said. '' We will be using it more as we get more sophisticated,'
Cable television-sometimes . called community antenna is a system by which broadcasts of distant stations are received and
rebroadcast to home receivers through a special cable hook-up.
Local TV sets would not ordinarily pick-up these shows. Cable
stations also have broadcast equipment for their own '' Program
organization. 1 '
She said further that Teleprompter of Eugene, the local cable
c?mpany "has been very kind in allowing us to use their facilities,"
smce they are not obligated by any rules or regulations to aid
the school at all. "We in education haven't made as much use of
existing cable television facilities as we could," she added.
The chairwoman described a stay at home course as an example of future production posibilities. She said that such a course
would travel by way of the television cable to the home. Students
would communicate back to the classroom by telephone. This would
enable "shut-ins and others who could not get to the college to
enroll in courses," she said.
Television cable facilities at LCC are not extensive enough
to allow programs such as the stay at home course, said Ms. De
Chaine, 11 but the facilities may be expanded when the cable television
franchise" (in Eugene)" is up for renegotiation in 1977, then there
is a possibility we could get more usage for public and educational
transmissiono''

with students and setting-up and
explaining projects ffiPIRG has
completed and intends to work on
:in the coming months.
Some of the on-going projects
deal with illeg:ll used car sales
practices of setting back odomet_e r readings, investigating
stores for sale of toys listed
as dangerous to children by the
Federal government, and reviewing the forest practices in the
Willamette National Forest.

Hate rius said that a, PIRG has
had good cooperatioJ with all
state agencies and that the current auto study is being conducted with the help of the state
Motor Vehicles Department. All
the gathered information, Haterius explained, will be sent to
Senator Packwood for his use
in pushing through federal legislation forcing auto producers to
inst a 11 anti-set-back mechanisms in all new cars.

Students and faculty members
at LCC will again have a chance
to donate blood to the local Blood~
mobile.
"Each year for the past four
years," according to Science instructor Steve John, ''the Bloodmobile comes to the school to
get 22 pints. of blood. This blood
goes into Lane's account in the
Blood Bank and is used by students and faculty members."
John commented that, ''Each
term the bloodmobile has. . .
trouble getting enough b 1o o ct.
Eighty per cent of the blood donated in the past was donated
by the faculty staff. Eighty per
cent of the blood is used by
students/'
He went on to comment that,
'' Those who donate blood will
be doing a service to the community." However, he further

stated that, "In order to donate
blood one has to make an appointment to determine the type
of the person's blood. Those
who donate should plan to spend
45 minutes of their time for the
entire process which includes
checking and s c re en in g the
blood." Appointment can be set
up by calling LCC extension 381
or seeing the Science Department Secretary Ms. Sharon
Shorey.

Lane blood donors needed

The mobile will be available
outside the food services snack
bar between I p.m. and 4 p.m.
"Those planning to give blood
on Monday, Nov. 13, should have
a big lunch," the instructor commented.
He concluded that the entire operation is comp I et e 1y "painless."

"My heart was held by it . . . the ending is unusually satisfying . . . See this
play - - it has a compassion that is all

"A good play, strong, sad, funny. Paul Zindel

'' The title 'The Effect of Gamma Rays on Manin-the-Moon Marigolds' is a false clue to a
touching and often funny play that. .. is not
nonsensical or verbose or pretentious or wayout flashy. Actually it is a rather old-fashioned
domestic drama (old-fashioned is no insult from
me) in that it is about people - - and interesting ones at that -- whose behavior, while outlandish at times, is made as comprehensible
as anybody's behavior ever can be made. ' The

Tutor

aids the bewildered

by David Butler
A year ago, Jim Crouch couldn't write his
way out of a simple sentence with a dependent
clause. Today he tutors bewildered casualties
of Writing courses lll and 112, and has changed
his academic major from business to English.
Not all of the successes in LCC's student
tutor program are as spectacular as Jim Crouch's;
most students who are losing battles with LCC 's
required writing courses win the war only after
many grueling sessions with a tutor like Crouch,
a fellow student who knows that college-level
writing is not the fire-breathing dragon it's
cracked up to be.
Many departments at the college also have
tutors, but the Language Arts staff is one of
the few with what amounts to a full-time operation.
Seven students, led by writing instructor Art
Tegger, staff an office which is open from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. every school day.
Between them the seven tutors see dozens of
students each week, some with minor problems
of punctuation or word choice, and others who
seem to have more massive problems.
"We operate under the premise that everyone,
and I mean everyone, can write a college-level
essay. Most of the people we see, especially
the very poor writers, don't believe that," said
Crouch.
''When they get to us, after years of struggling
through grammar school and high school English
courses, they're already looking over their
shoulder, wondering who's going to come up and
clobber them next."

New text published for students

Showing them "what to do" is a tedious job,
but the processes are fairly simple: "We know,
for instance, what to do when a student is having
trouble organizing his thoughts into a thesis
sentence," said Crouch.
"He'll put some mumbo-jumbo downonpaper,
but it won't be anywhere near what is in his
head. So we:11 sit down with him for as long
and as many times as it takes to get that thought
from his head to the paper/'
One of the first steps Crouch and the other
tutors take when meeting with a student is to
build up his confidence.
'' Often their thoughts are great, and they only
need to learn how to clarify them, make them
more understandable."
Because they aren't teachers, the tutors occupy
a rather curious position at LCC. According to
Crouch, tutors often end up as a go-between
with students and instructors, helping both groups
understand each other a little more.
Response to the program has been good; how
good is hard to say. Students who weren't passing
Writing lll before working with a tutor are doing
much better now. And instructors seem to like
what is being done, too. In fact, an instructor
in the college's night progral)l is interested in
starting a tutoring system for his students.
Dealing with numbers, quantities of students
is all very well, but the tutoring system at LCC
is working because it is still one student sitting
down with another, eyeball to eyeball, working
out a problem together.

by English professors at Lane
A new English composition and
writing textbook, called "Awk"
has been written by LCC Ass o c i ate Professors Theo<:lore
Romoser and Michael Rose of
the Language Arts Department.
It s format makes use of student
writing examples to teach others
how to write more effectively.
Rose said that traditional composition textbooks a re written
from examples of professional
writers, but he feels these types
of textbooks were not fulfilling
student needs at LCC.
Rose and Romoser decided to
write a textbook using essays
and writings selected from LCC
student assignments in order to
help composition students learn
what to avoid. They can compare their own writing with less
successful attempts, and by imitating writing that is more successful but not totally unlike their
own.
Rose stated, "Time and limmiting the text to the essentials
and determining which essays and
writings were best to use, " were
the basic obstacles confronted

when preparing the book.
This is the first year of circulation for the textbook, Rose
said, "Awk will probably have
nation a 1 distribution 1ate r,
''but he also commented that
he has no idea how it will be
received in other places.

Female mechanics student -plans to open garage
by David Butler
Nadine Hack has two primary
goals: (1) to take care of Nadine
Hack, and (2) to open a garage.
A garage ? Women don't operate
garages. They often sell auto
parts in garages, but they don't
run the show. And for that matter,
women don't. become mechanics
either. Automotive repair is intricate, demanding, rough, physical work. But then, Ms. Hack
has been tilting at windmills (and
winning) for the past two years
now. It's unlikely that a little
thing like jumping feet first into a
male-dominated world will faze
her very much.
No other woman is signed
up for the full two-year mechanics course at LCC, although
two other women are involved
elsewhere in allied fields. One
is learning to be a welder, the
other an insurance investigator.
Ms. Hack's auto mechanics
training first got off the ground
when she started tinkering on a
1949 pickup at her home near
June tion City. As 194 9 pickups ususually do, the truck constantly
seemed in need of repair or preventive maintenance.
Trouble was, she didn't have
enough money for it to be worked on by a professional, and
everyone else she knew did well
to know where the gas tank was.
Luckily, Ms. Hack had a good
eye for detail, seemed to grasp
concepts fairly quickly, and was

fiesty enough to wade right in on
even the most complex problem.
Alrea.dy, she had built her own '
house and had done major repairs to the pump that controlled
her water supply.
'' It was the p u mp breakdown
that actually got me thinking
seriously about developing an automotive skill," she explained.
"I was a high school dropout,
totally unprepared for anything.
And I had opted for a rigidly
independent life. I realized that
if that was the road I was going
to take, I'd have to face up to
certain realities, namely, learn

a trade that would get me a
good job, and also, learn how to
fend for myself." .Auto mechanics, she figured, would accomplish both.
Though still a first year student, which means she is receiving generalized training in both
auto and diesel mechanics, Ms.
Hack plans to specialize in auto
mechanics during the second
phase next year. And after she
graduates from LCC, she hopes
to open that garage somewhere
and staff it with women mechanics.

Bench Slivers
from Lex Sahonchik

On a chilly Saturday morning in
Pendleton last week the LCC
cross country team walked away
with the National Junior College
Athletic Association Region 18
championship. If you know much
about Lane cross country, winning meets is not unusual. But

what is unusual is the manner
which Lane is pulling off it's
victories.
The Titans scored 15 points in
the Regional Championships - a
perfect score. Lane swept first,
second, third, fourth and fifth
p 1a c e s against all the major
junior college competiton in the
Northwest. There's little wonder
why Coach AI Tarpenning is proud
of his squad.

IApplicants misinformed!
The meeting times announced
on the information form for
potential rally squad members
is in error, according to the

From the spectator's point of

a race where, after the halfway

time you run, you run against
different competition," said Al
Tarpenning; "one of the best
things about our team is that
we have interchangeable men."
Tarpenning w~s referring to
the order of finish of the Titan top five. Dale Hammitt won
the race, but the next four places changed hands among Lane
runners, with Tim Williams eventually finishing second,
Garrie Franklin taking third, Bill
Cram fourth, and Randy Griffith
fifth, fighting severe cramps all
the way. Tarpenning cited the interchangeability of Titan runners
as adding a big advantage to team
unity and competitive spirit:" It's
not al ways cut and dried who's
going to win.''

not detour the inevitable, as the

LCC Titan cross country team
waited just one-quarter of a mile
before taking com man d and
coasting to a perfect score victory in the Region 18 Cross
Country Championships, Saturday morning. Dale Hammit,
LCC's long-distance prodigy again recorded the winning time
with a 20: 55.5 clocking at the
Pendleton meet.
After trailing the first 600
yards , the 'Titans sped past
Blue Mountain CC's John Sekerka and never looked back
from that point on.
Midway through the four mile
course, LCC runners were taking
command in 1-2-3-4-5 fashion,

this time Griffith began experiencing the gastric effects of the
candy bar he ate prior to the
race, and he started to run a
little slower.
Shortly after the end of the
third milepost of the race, Hammit had a slight navigational
problem with the help of a race
official and wound-up running
away from the course instead of
with it. Fortunately, Hammit realized his mistake and was able
to correct it, before he had run
too far. Luckily for the Titans
as a whole, the other schools
that had played the follow-theleader game for the first three
miles continued the game, not
knowing they were also going the
wrong way and wound-up playing
the seventh hole fairway behind
Hammit and company.
In jockeying for positions for
the final standings, Williams and

Franklin both were able to outleg team mate Cram to the wire,
while fifth place finisher, Griffith, out-hustled BMCC's Sekerka
and Dan Stanhope.
LCC Cross Country Coach,
AI Tarpenning commented on the
race saying, ''We made no major
mistakes in running." Talking
further about the Titan's finishing order, Tarpenning said, ''We
have interchangeable men in running positions. The number-two
man will finish number five the
one week then he will finish back
up high in the pack the next."
When asked if this has any influence on the runners, Tarpenning said, ''Sure it - has. It's
never cut and dried about who's
running in what position. This
shows that our men are really
interchangeable, . . . it's good for

'Hopefully it will be a peaceful solution'

An Arab student attending college in America
often has a different outlook on certain situations
than what is taught in class. But some, like
Abdullah N. Sudairy, find it enlightening.
Abdullah is a Saudi Arabian who is working
for a political science degree in America. The
The Saudi Arabian government pays for his education under the agreement that he return to
Saudi Arabia after he gets his degree and works
for the government for three years.
Abdullah feels that American instructors and
the Americanb press tend to give a "one-sided
view" of the Middle East problem.
He said he was aware that the jewish people
were "treated badly in Germany" but, he explained, "they have no right to come to Palestime and treat the people(there) badly. The Jewish people have the right to live in Palestine,
but not all of them. For every Jewish family
immigrates to Palestine there is an Arabian family who goes out of the country."
Abdullah said there are already "about one ,
million refugees living out of their countries.
There must be a solution, but hopefully it will
be a peaceful solution/' he continued.
Although Abdullah is only beginning his first
year at LCC he has been in the US for a year
and a half. Last year he attended a colleg·e·
near San Francisco.
.
He said he likes the educational system in America better than that of Saudi Arabia because
it is more flexible. In his country only one
examination per year is given for each course.
''If you flunk it, that's it," he continued.
Although he plans to work with the government
of his country he does not find it strange that
he is getting a degree in political science in America. He said that he is studying political

"I guess that shows who's best

"Yeah, now we got to find out
who's best in the nation," came
the reply from Randy Griffitlra graphic illustration of how much
the team is looking forward to
the challenge of the National Junion C o 11 e g e Championships in
Pensacola, Florida Saturday.
"You go into it blind, there's
no printouts on the competiton,"
Al Tarpenning remarked about
the upcoming national test, "you
go into it thinking you're the best
and you want to prove it.'' Tarpenning g o es into the Florida
meet hoping a bit for rain: ''We've
had moisture during the past races, it would give us an advantage."
The advantage of a rainy day
Saturday is something to hope
for. But an even bigger advantage is evident in the attitude of
the team itself; they are skyhigha bout the National Championships, maybe they won't need
any rain.

Abdullah was able to come to the US after
being given a scholarship when he graduate from
high school. He said his country is stressing
education very heavily now, in fact, he said, even
::nore heavily thah its military.
He said Saudi Arabia has no problem with its
universities being overcrowded and feels that
one reason his country has not seen the student
. riots the US has experience in the past few
·' ·:years is because the students are satisified with
1-.'-.the status quo. In his country, Abdullah said,
\the government will pay people from the villages to attend colleges.
Abdullah , who speaks English well said he
studied English for six years while in school
(in Saudi Arabia English is a required subject) and then went to England for more English
language studies. He has decided the only way
to learn English is to live in a country where
the language is spoken. Even though Abdullah
has been living in a country where English is
spoken he admits to having difficulty understanding all the different dialects of "American English."
When Abdullah came to America he felt
equipped to deal with American society because
of his exposure to it through American movies
and television--there was no "culture shock,"
he claims. In fact, he explained, after a short
•
briefing, in New York when he first arrived,
- he has been completely on his own in the US,
He said he has experienced no great difficulties
because of the different culture.
Abdullah lives in Ashlane housing.in Springfield.

Apathy closes Zero Population group

The LCC chapter of the Zero
Population Growth, (ZPG), has all
but disbanded, according to Freeman Rowe, LCC Science instructor and former ZPG member.
ZPG held their last meeting
two weeks ago which was attended by only two members who are
carry-overs from 1as t year's
club. Rowe said that most students who attend LCC stay only
for one year, and this creates
a problem for most clubs.
Zero Population Growth started the LCC chapter in the 197172 school year. The group is
responsible for a hand book on

Birth Control that is issued free
upon request at the Student Health
Service.
Student apathy was one of the
prob 1ems that ZPG faced in
establishing the LCC chapter.
"Most students work and leave
campus right after classes, or
are just apathetic and not aware
of the ZPG," said Rowe.
Rowe, went on to s a~ he
feels that ZPG _is catching-on,
however, and this can be substanciated by the figures released
on the US birth rate--these
figures show a definite drop.
• Rowe explained that there is

a ZPG chapter in the Eugene
area and also a Lane County
chapter. He feels that most people in the school who are in
ZPG belong to one of those chapters and don't find a need for
an LCC chapter.
Z.PG, according to Rowe, is
spending all their money at this
time on National TV spots. Rowe
feels this will bring· results.

Nevv ECA attends meeting

LCC's newly appointed interim
Evening College Administrator,
Nile Williams, attended last
Thursday's meeting of the
Evening Program Advisory Committee "to get an idea of what
I'm jumping into.'' According to
Williams, he accomplished a
good portion of that mission.
Williams was appointed to fill
the administrator slot by LCC
President Eldon Schaferafterthe
Evenieg Advisory Committee told
Schafer tttat an administrator woo

evening program "more viable."
Williams and his alternate,
Larry Murray, discussed a wide
range of topics concerning the
evening program with the members of the committee as both
men admitted they were, for the
most part, unaware of the prob-

that a night student can't complete his or her respective major
in the evening college, among

lems of the program and the
goals of the committee itself.
Committee members indic ated
they were more than happy
to fill them in on the drawbacks
and roadblocks the evening college has faced.

told the TORCH he was impressed
with the committee and the job

the Evening College must meet
the needs of the students.
"These people are pretty active and have some pretty hard

a night student usually is a working person during the day so
he or she doesn't have a lot of
time. If the program isn't meeting the needs, then the students
are going to make darn sure
that it does before wasting any

Ben Kirk, an LCC science instructor who has met opposition
because of the structure of his new course, "Science in Your Life,"
has failed in his efforts to obtain transfer credit standing for the
course.
Kirk, who instructed students in physical science; felt last
year there were too few choices available for students who were
non-science majors. " The available choices didn't fill the needs
of some students, " he explained.
As a result of this factor, and because of criticism of his
teaching methods and the content of his physical science classes.
he designed a course, entitled "Science in your Life," primarily
for the non-scienc e major. According to the developer of the
program, " The new course was designed to give the student an

transit, ecology, use of insecticides, use of herbicides, and federal
health regulations.''
Last year, while he was teaching physical science, Kirk received criticism from the LCC Board of Education. He explained,
' ' They found my way of grading the course objectionable, the way
of measuring achievement objectionable, and the subjec( matter
objectionable. They also objected to what I didn't consider.' ' In
reference to part of his grading methods, he remarked that he asked
the students to grade themselves.
LCC President Schafer told the TORCH, _'' The Board objected
because he has no way of measuring ac hievement." But, Schafer
added, the Board "did approve of his teaching methods."
Kirk submitted the new course outline to the administration,
the LCC Board of Education, and the Oregon Board of Education,
Kirk said that, "The new course as outlined was
in that order.
refused at every level."
Schafer later said that, "Nobody objected to the course at
LCC. However, the Oregon Board of Education didn't approve of
the course."
Kirk, in a brief summation of the reasons for the course not
receiving transfer credit, related that the Oregon Board felt that
in order for the course to have science credits awarded, the new
course must meet the criteria for such a course. He remarked
that according to the Oregon Board, " specifically, the course
doesn't examine the skills the Oregon Board considers necessary-like the use of formulas for determining scientific factors, use of
microscopes, and use of spectroscopes."
The Oregon Board did inform LCC that the course could be
offered but only as a non-state-reimbursable and a non-credit
The course, under this arrangement, would have to be

subsidized from local resourses only.
The course is now being conducted during the Fall Term as
a non-credit course. According to Schafer, "A group of fellow
science teachers • • • five or seven from LCC, and three outside
scientists from the University of Oregon, Portland Community
College, and the State Board of Education, will meet with Kirk
and try to fit the program to the Board's standards."
The LCC President commented that. "If the course doesn't
get transfer credit, it won't be offered after Fall Term." Kirk
earlier stated that, "In order to receive credit, . the course has to
be changed to meet the criteria of the Oregon Board. I made a
promise to· the students taking the course about its structure.
I can't change the course now.,,
Regulations of the Oregon State Department of Education stipulate
that before a course can be assigned transferrable credit it must
be accepted by a minimum of three-four year colleges. Kirk claims
that five such schools have said they would accept the course.
He continued, "Each time an objection is met a new one pops up.
I get the impression no one wants the course."

The usage of the sewer lagoon
by a proposed Apartment Complex next to the college was one
of the major topics of discussion
at both the Board's Oct. 11 meeting and the ASL CC Senate's Oct.
12 meeting. Both groups feared
that if the complex was constructed the lagoon would be
overloaded, thereby forcing the
college to limit its growth.

Board is to vote on tonight stipu !ates the types of wastes that

The effect of this may be to
