LCC cross country team wins Nationals

by lex Sehonchik

Lane Community College's cross country team has
had a habit of crushing opponents with surprising ease
this season. The habit was carried through to the OCCAA
Cross Country Championships and, surprisingly, to a
sweeping win of the Region 18 Championships. Last Saturday in Pensacola, Florida, LCC came through again:
This time against the best in the nation in the junior col-·
lege ranks.
To the surprise of the rating officials and most everybody else at the meet, (everybody except Coach Al Tarpenning and his team), the Titans creamed the competi-

tors and swept in for the national championship against
very tough schools from Pennsylvania and Arizona-schools that had methodically dominated their opponents
all year. In the biggest race of their lives the Lane run, ners performed admirably.
Titan ace Dale Hammitt led his teammates across
the finish line in grand fashion finishing eighth overall.
Interchangability again was a key factor for Lane as
the following Titans again switched finishing order from
last week's Regionals. Randy Griffith followed Hammitt,
easing into 15th place; Bill Cram copped 26th place; Tim
Williams grabbed 27th; Gary Cassidy finished in 38th; Tom
Tyra crossed the line in 89th position; and Garrie Frank-

Senate meeting forced into adiournm ent
by Sheila Rose
ASLCC President Jay Bolton
was forced to ajourn the Thursday night Senate meeting and call
an emergency session to carry on
normal Senate business as the
result of a quorum challenge
made by Senator Doris Koumoungis.
Ms. Koumoungis' challenge
came during a discussion on correct parliamentary procedures.
According to the ASLCC Constitution, 10 Senate members must
be present to conduct business;
Thursday night's meeting had
only seven members in attendance.
In calling the emergency session, Bolton said, all decisions
made would require ratification
at the next regular meeting.
After much discussion, the
meeting was recessed until today
at 3 p.m., at which time they plan
to discuss the elections.
In business prior to the quorum challenge, two additions and
one alteration were made to the
proposed ASLCC Constitution
which is poised for student body
consideration in the upcoming
Nov. 27 and 28 election, were discussed and quickly passed by Senate members with a unanimous
vote.
The two additions are both to
Article III of the document, which
deals with the form of the Student

Body. The first addition (Section
3.0) reads:
'' There will be
qualifications and responsibilities for elected officers, as outlined in the By-Laws." The second addition (section 4.0) reads:
"Renumeration for Student Body
Officers will be outlined in the
By-Laws." Director of Student
Activities Jay Jones explained

that these were only points of
clarification.
The alteration to the Constitution was made in Article X
(section 3.0) and now reads:
'' Passage of Amendents to the
By-Laws shall be by two-thirds
vote of the votes cast by the
Student Senate." Formerly, the
section read that passage was to
(Continued on page 8)

Student body elections rescheduled
The .ASLCC student body elections which were previously
scheduled for this week have been
rescheduled for Nov. 27 and 28.
The rescheduling is the result of
actions taken by Jim Gregory,
editor of the TORCH, who challenged the elections on the
grounds that no Board of Tellers
had been established by the Student Senate for the elections.
Gregory took his complaint to

lin took 98th to round out the Lane squad.
Over 300 runners started the race at Ellyson Field in
the Pensacola Naval Base on a starting line that stretched
about 100 yards over 52 lanes. LCC drew Lane 52, the
best lane on the line, since none of the LCC runners
needed to put on an opening sprint just to achieve a good
position.
At race time the weather was quite warm and humid,
negating any advantage LCC had hoped to grab from a
rainy day. But favorable lane positioning countered that
lost goal, and Titan runners moved into good position at
the starting gun and held that position throughout the first
mile of the course.

LCC's new welding program, which has been taught tbis term
without formal approval, has finally passed the LCC Board of Education but a group formed of first and second year LCC welding students have promised to fight the change. (See Welding Story Page 8.)
At their monthly meeting Wednesday night the LCC Board approved the course but directed the administration to get input from
students before making any further changes.
Before approving the welding course the Board heard from
members of the Welding Lay Advisory Committee and Industrial
Technology Department who favored the change, and welding students
and others who opposed the program.
The Board also received a report against the new program which
was signed by 21 first and second year weldin students and one student government officer.
The main complaint with the new program centered on the second year of the old program being taught during the fitst year, and
the discontinuance of training students for welding certification.
Bob Miller, a member of the Welding Lay Advisory Committee
and a local welder employer, told the Board that the idea of the new
program was to give a student employable skills in the first six
months of his training '' so he can go out and work with his hands and
earn a living." Miller said the welder could then attend school part
time if he wanted to learn more welding skills. "Pm looking for a
man to weJd and I expect LCC to teach him," Miller added.
Jim Key, a member of the group that has been formed to fight the
change, told the Board that the new program only teaches students how
"to burn rod" but nothing about metallurgy. He also told the Board
that when welding students signed up for the welding courses at the
beginning of Fall Term they were under the impression that last
year's course would be taught and that many welding students "didn't
find out about the change until two weeks later."
Gerry Rasmussen, associate dean of instruction, told the Board
that advisors were present at registration to advise the new welding
students about the change, but he said perhaps the advisors didn't
reach all of the students.
The LCC Board also tackled another major and controversial
issue Wednesday night when they voted to adopt an agreement that
stipulates the types of wastes that can be dumped into the sewage lagoon and the methods of testing, as well as lagoon maintenance.
The sewage lagoon has been a major point of controversy since
contractors have decided to build a 105-unit apartment complex next
to LCC which would have the right to 2/7 of the lagoon. (LCC has the
right to 4/7 and the Oregon Research Institute has the right to 1/7 of
the lagoon in accordance with a 1966 agreement.)
The Board feared that if the apartment complex were built the
lagoon would be overloaded and either cause the college to limit its
growth or to install a sewage system from either Eugene or Springfield at its own expense.
The Board's fears were amplified when they received a copy of
an August 2 letter to the Lane County Board of Commissioners from
L. B. Day, director of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality {DEQ), which said because of the 1990 Plan, which eliminates city
growth in the LCC Basin until that date, "The existing Lane Community College lagoon must now provide sewage service to the college
for an indefinite period in the future, since this department will not
look favorably on any expansion on this interim facility."
Wednesday night Richard Cleveland, an attorney representing
the apartment developers, assured the Board that the five developers
were just as interested in the survival of the lagoon as the college.
In addition to adopting the regulation governing the lagoon,
the Board asked their attorney, Ed Harms, to attempt to obtain an
agreement from Cleveland concerning an increase in the capacity of
the lagoon. (Since the developers have the right to 2/7 of the lagoon
the Board was unsure if the developers would also have the right to
2/7 of any expansion.)
The Board also instructed the administration to'' seek clarification" from DEQ on the possibility of expanding the lagoon if the expansion would be used only by LCC.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:
It seems that the Administration is at it again. Without consulting the students of the welding department, or at least very
few, they (the Administration)
have completely revised the •
welding program. First year students who signed up for this
year's course did so thinking that
they were going to be able to
take the course as outlined in the
1972-73 LCC catalog, only to find
out as much as two weeks after the start of the term that the
course as outlined in the catalog
was no longer in existence, and in
its place was a program that
wasn't even accreditable, or for
that matter approved by the
Board.
The new course went even farther. Instead of text-books the
students were told that the course •
was going to be taught with program med material. The students
then waited for some kind of
written material to be presented
to them, and eventually they received one or two one-page sheets
of paper with some simple diagrams on them, and this was the
sum total of the program.
The new welding course has

WASHINGTON-Next Jan·
uary 20, President Nixon will
begin four more years in the
White House. For the first
time in his political career, he
can follow his convictions
without worrying about the
voters.
Some intimates say he has
the capacity for greatness
during his final four years.
Others worry that he is vindictive and might use his new
political freedom to reward his
friends
and
punish
his
enemies. Here are our predictions:
In foreign affairs, the Presi·
dent will dedicate himself
during the years ahead to·
achieving his goal of an era of
peace. He will succeed, we
predict, in withdrawing the
United States from the wars in
Southeast Asia. He will also
end the cold war era and
reduce tensions with the
Communist superpowers.
Before his term is ended, we
predict, the United States will
recognize Communist China
and restore normal trade relations with both China and
Russia.
He will fail, however, to
prevent war in the Middle
East.
At home, we predict, the
President will revert to his
basic conservative nature and
go back to a tighter money
policy. This will hold down.
inflation, at a cost of nagging
unemployment and mild re·
cession.
We also predict a Democratic Congress will dig deeper
into the Watergate, ITT, grain
and other scandals. The Presi·
dent on election night went
out of his way to praise his two
embattled campaign aides,
John Mitchell and Maurice
Stans, who are implicated in
the Watergate scandal.
This is the tip-off that the
President will back up his
aides and cover up the scandal. Mitchell, we predict, will
remain a close confidante but
will not return to the cabinet.
Stans will be given a top
appointment - outside the
cabinet.
In short, we predict Richard
Nixon will distinguish himself
as a peace president but will be
badly tarnished by scandal
during the next four years.
- Have Jetstar, Will
Travel-

Globetrotter Henry Kissinger could take a few travelling lessons from John
Shaffer, chief of the Federal
Aviation Agency. Shaffer,
we 've discovered, is one of the
most travelled men in the
Nixon Administration.
Shaffer, who insists that it's
his solemn duty to "monitor
the national aviation system,"
accomplishes \this goal by flying around at public expense
in a sleelc Lockheed J etstar.
We have reported in the
past how Shaffer's "monitoring" has taken him to such
vacation spots as Orlando,
Florida, where he played golf
with Arnold Palmer.
Most recently, the FAA
chief flew in his government

Jetstar to Pittsburgh for the .
25th anniversary of the Pittsburgh airport. Then he decided
it was a nice day for golf. So he
flew across country to his
favorite golf course at Augusta , Georgia. Three of his
friends ·wanted to go to Miami.
So he ordered his government
pilot to drop them off 300
miles further south in Miami.
We have learned the identity of the three friends whom
Shaffer let use his government
plane. They are Thornton Ferguson, President of Modern
Air Transport; Robert Lando,
head of a Pittsburgh adver·
tising . agency; and Jay Van
Vechten, who heads Lando's
Miami office. They flew to
Miami while Shaffer played
golf in Augusta with executives of General Electric.
- Intelligence Reports -

GEORGE WHO?-The Chinese public was told almost
nothing about the American
election campaign. The average Chinese citizen, for example, never heard of George
McGovern. But a ·daily bulletin, called Reference News, has
given the Chinese Communist
cadres a surprisingly accurate
account of the campaign developments. The re-election of
President Nixon, therefore,
came as absolutely no surprise
to the Chinese Communists.
CONFIDENT THIEU - The
secret intelligence reports out
of Saigon contain an interesting omen that President Thieu
is confident of remaining in
power. The- Centeral Intelligence Agency notes, significantly , that the men around
Thieu have made no attempt
to smuggle their money out of
the country and to start slipping off to the French Riviera.
If they expected the Communists to take over Saigon, the
CIA notes, President Thieu's
top officials would be quietly
clearing out of the country
with their fortunes.
OLD CHIANG ILL-The
CIA reports that Old Chiang
Kai-shek is seriously ill and
that his son, Chiang Chingkuo, has taken over effective
control of Taiwan. The death
of old Chiang, if it should
come, would have little effect
upon this Asian .trouble spot.
- Political PotpourriBobby Baker and his wife
Dorothy have been having
marital problems since Baker
left prison last June. Baker
will soon leave for a long trip
to the Orient. His pretty wife
will remain behind ... Spirits are
low at Ralph Nader's headquarters. Some have always
complained that Nader drives
his staff too hard. But lately
his staff appears especially
dispirited and disorganized.
The recently completed Congress Project put a tremendous strain on Nader's pooped
Raiders ... Democrats are expected to meet early in January to replaced Congressman
Hale Boggs as House Major·
ity Leader. Insiders say Majority Whip Tip O'Neil from
Massachusetts is the odds-on
choice.

Employment, curriculum of fore~try students
discusse d by advisory committe e panel

by Ron Hamblen

Mysteriously, it tic ks away
into eternity, adding many new
pleasures and thrills to a very
old game. But, surprisingly, very
few of those who own chess sets
also own chess clocks.
A chess clock is actually two
clocks synchronized so that the
objective thinking time of each
player can be measured. Player
A pushes a button or lever aft.er he has moved, and this starts
players B's clock, which will run
until he moves, pushes the button, and starts A's clock again.
That's all the clock does; the
rest is a free-will choice for
the players.
For instance, suppose it's halfan-hour until dinner time. Now,
this would be time for a game if
both people played very quickly.
But, who can resist pausing to
think about some of the fascinating positions that come up on a
chessboard? Ding! goes the dinner bell, and the game is about
half ove~nd there's a great
movie on TV tonight!
'' Well, next time we:ll know
better than to start a chess
game with a time limit!"
Has anyone ever said that?
Possibly. But a chess clock
eliminates all those frustrations
(It might add new ones, but it
does eliminate the old ones).
Directions for use:
L For a half-hour game (15 minutes for each player) set each clock
at a quarter to twelve (or any
other hour).
2. Play as prescribed by the
rules, taking a turn at pushing
the lever or button as directed (after you have moved).
Chess clocks look like regular
clocks born as siamese twins,
with one difference: They have a

eternity has stopped even though
the clock may go on ticking. The
game is over, and if it was your

you lost.
If this sounds ennervating, try

Money allocated
for centers' needs
The LCC Student Senate has
set aside $1,700 in student funds
for new equipment for the
college's child care centers.
The money will be used to
buy four heavy duty slides, six
heavy duty tricycles, a secondhand piano, record player and
·book rack, and four loads of
loose bark for an outdoor playground surface. Also included is
$100 for materials to build homemade play equipment.

Employment for LCC forestry
students and the overall look at
_ the curriculum of forestry were
the main concerns of the monthly Forestry Advisory Committee meeting last week.
Larry Worstill, representative
of the Willamette National Forest, asked about the low enrollment of minority races in the
program. The commtttee discussed ways to increase their enrollment and plan to encourage
and inform minority students of
the job possibilities in the forestry technician program. Fur-

ther discussion and study is planned for the next meeting.
'' Last year there were eight
more job positions than students
to fill those positions--e v e r y
graduate student of the forestry
technician program has been placed in a iob for the last nine
years," commented Mr. John
Phillips, adviser to the advisor
group.
Tree planting and part timework was offered by Jim Romback, a timber industry representative, who said he will send
a list of a number of jobs and

positions needed to
Phillips.
Last summer's job placement
was discussed. A total of 38
students found jobs: 23 in timber management, 10 in engineering, and 5 in fire control.
It was agreed by the committee
to encourage students to job hunt
even more actively.
Some of the advisory committee members felt that the
classes loads need to be reduced,
and it was suggested that the
he a Ith class requirement be .
dropped from the curriculum
class. ·The committee plans further study and discussion on the
possibility.

INew pre-school system explained!

The Advisory Committee consists of 13 members from different age n c i e s--both government and privately owned--including the US Forest Service,
the Bureau of Lane Management,
Oregon State University, and the
County Extension Office, as well
as the local timber industry association, and a conservation organization. One student graduate of the forestry program and
five members from the timber
industry also participate.

The Montassori Method of pre-school education was discussed
recently by Ms. Margorie Kocher, a teacher for the new Montassori
program in Cottage Grove which bega:n its first classes Sept. 5.
According to Ms. Kocher, who has written a book on Mo~tassori
methods, the basic philosophy of the Method is '·geared toward
, helping the child adjust to reality."
Ms. Kocher has taught in the Head Start program and in a
nursery school in Eugene, and notes that "Many nursery schools
and other pre-schools are geared to imaginative things, like creative
play, where a child imagines what it is like to do something.
" In Montassori,' • she said, "instead of asking a child to m(;)rely
imagine a situation, we let the child actually do it.'·
Ms. Kocher also stated that social development and relating
to others are emphasized more in the Montassori Method than
other pre-school education methods.
Another goal of the Montassori Method, she said, is " to see
where a child is in his development.., Ms. Kocher declared that
many children have not been allowed to learn as much as they really
wanted to at early ages, but the Montassori Method teaches children
between the ag·es of 3 and 6, ·' These years are a sensitive period
of learning," she said, "and a child should be allowed to learn as
much as he wants to. When a child wants to learn_
, you qan't frustra~e
him - - you must let him,''
i
._
Maria Montassori, founder of the Montas'sori Method, has described it as a philosophy based on "Liberty in a prepared environment. ''
Since Montassori has been described as a more
, liberal, or free type of education, parents may have had visions
of their children becoming spoiled brats who do as they please.
But Ms. Kocher feels that this attitude is diminishing as a result
of the gain in attention and publicity-given to the Method.

The committee was organized
and functioning in 1963 when the
forestry technician program was
started on the LCC campus.
The objectives of the committee are to keep the forestry
technician program realistic in
both classes and field work, and
to coordinate with employers'
needs in the forest technician and
conservation areas.
Members of the committee assist in some of the classes and
practical field experience performed by the students.

In a caucus attended by all
33 of the House Democrats, Eymann was elected on the third
ballot to lead the Demo's in
their first majority control of
the House- since 19_65. Going
into the next Legislative session, the Democrats will lead
House Republicans by 33 to 27.

The newly elected Speaker said
that, "turning the State of Oregon to a new direction and restoring confidence in government
will be the major goals of the
House Democrats."
Eymann won one- of his closest
political races this year as he
narrowly defeated Re pub 1i can

schools

tutored for European training
In an average year, about 66
per cent of students applying to
American medical schools don't
gain admission. An alternative
for many is to enter an overseas medical school--a possibility which The European Medical Students Placement Service,
Inc. claims they can help make
a reality.
"A unique concept in educational placement, Euromed can
aid and assist qualified American
students in gaining admission to
recognized overseas me ct i c a 1
schools," reads their s e 1f
description.
Just as importantly, the Euromed program is
designed to help the American
student succeed there."
Research has shown that the
high rate of attrition (80-90 per
cent) among non-national first~
year students at European medical schools is attributable
to a lack of the language and
culture of the country in which
they're studying, and thus inability to compete effectively with
native students.
To help American students
reach a high level of competi.tive capability, Euro me ct attemps to provide, in addition to
admissions aid, an 8 to 12 week,
200-300 hour intensive language
orientation course, given in the
country where the student will
be attending medical school.
Specifically structured for Am=
erican students entering a European medical school, the course
is mandatory and covers medical
and academic terminology, as
well as conversational vocabulary
in the local language.
A series of informal individual
and group cultural orientation
conferences supplement the language-learning part of the Eur-

omed program. Sessions are
headed by senior American medical students now attending school
in the particular European country.
In addition, Euromed says it
maintains student counseling offices in every country in which
the program is in effect.
Senior or graduate students attending a US university are eligible to participate in the
Euromed program.

Selective Service clarifies current policies

Washington, D.C. (CPS) --The
Selective Service System (SSS)
recently clarified its induction
policies for 1973.
"We will soon order all men
of the 1973 First Priority Selection Group with lottery numbers
75 and below for pre-induction
armed forces physical and mental
examinations. "

The . First Priority Selection
Group (PSG) includes all men
who will be 20 years old in 1973,
who are not deferred and whose
lottery numbers are 75 or lower.
These men will receive preinduction physicals by De~ember 31
of this year. The First P3G
also includes most men who will
lose their deferments.

OSPIRG prevents self-extinction •
The local chapter of OSPIRG (Oregon Student Public Interest
Research Group) faced the threat of extinction until last week,
according to acting chairman Jon Haterius. But, because nine
LCC students have filed for the six vacant OSPIRG Board of Directors positions, the group appears to have been rescued.
Haterius said that 214 LCC students paid the voluntary one
dollar registration fee during Fall Term. On Nov.27 and 28,. during
Student Senate elections, these members will select six of the nine
candidates to serve on the local board and direct the environmental
and consumer projects in the local area, just as other colleges do
similar research elsewhere in Oregon.
Haterius listed the candidates for the Board as Sonja Rasmussent
19, of Junction City, majoring in pre-law; Garry (Spencer) Federow,
24, of Eugene; and Bill Neighbors, 23, Eugene, majoring in Elementary Education.
The list continues with Jan Lonnquist, 21, a physical education
major from Eugene; Steve Paulus, 19, a Springfield resident majoring
in aviation maintenance; George Murphy, 23, also of Springfield, a
social science major; Wes Kight, 31, from Eugene, studying construction technology; and Jerry Edin, 27, Eugene, studying astronomy.

• (Editor's note: Last year a popular TORCH column was The Human
Environment by Mikel Kelly. The TORCH, in the interest of a better
environment, has decided to again publish the column. The column this
year will be writlen by students and staff members of the Oregon
Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) of which LCC is
a member. This week's column is written by John Savage of
Oregon State University and vice chairman of the 03PIRG state
board of directors.)

People everywhere are being forced to recognize the growing
problem of air pollution--if not by a discolored atmosphere, by the
presence of an offensive odor of varying strengths. Yet in spite
of these overt signs, there is no way, outside of using laboratory
instruments, to accurately measure the strength of these concentrations. Recently, however, research done in Oregon has revived
interest in one of the most effective natural air quality indicators
'
the lichen.
Under the direction of Dr. W.C. Denison, an Oregon State
University botany professor, and Steve Carpenter, an am botany
major, six OOU and Harvard students spent the summer indexing
the growth and distribution of different lichens in an attempt to
discover whether or not the lichen patterns found could be successfully compared to the air pollution patterns known to exist in the
Willamette Valley.
The students based their research on several premises. First,
that the essential ability of lichens to absorb airborne nutrients
often proves harmful to the organism, in that its inability to be
selective in what it absorbs results in excessive concentrations
of pollutants, which eventually kills the lichen, Thus, one air quality
index the researchers used was the quantity of lichen present in
any one area,
The second premise revolved around the fact that although
different lichen species possess varying abilities to withstand .
pollutant concentrations This in no way affects their competitive
ability. For example, in an area where lichen X was the least
'In downtown Portland even the hardiest lichen . ..
could not exist . .. .'
hardy specie surviving, it was not rivalled out of existence by the
hardier species" This created a second index, which was the typ·e
of species present in an area.
The results of the project were spectacular. By using a graded
series of nine particularly sensitive lichens (separated into five
grades) as air quality sensors, the project team was able to map
the Willamette Valley for air quality pockets. The most telling
result proved to be that while in downtown Portland even the
hardiest lichens (known for their ability to live in the most difficult
climes) could not exist , in many lowland areas grade-one lichens
were consistently found. •
Like most research, this project could easily have come to
rest in the back pages of some obscure journal. But Dr. Denison
and the project members 1 in conjunction with Q:;PIRG, instead
of stopping with the publishing of their research, have envisioned
an expansion of the research into a program similar to one used
in England several years back.
There utilizing fresh-water invertebrates as the indicators
English scientists were able to determine similar water qualit;
grades. Rather than surveying the numerous English ponds and
marshes themselves, they hit upon the ingenious idea of using
school children as their researchers. They did this through a
series of bubble-gum like picture cards, portraying in place of a
local soccer hero, species of fresh water invertebrates. On back
of the card, simple procedural instructions were outlined, explaining
the steps the student must take to survey his or her own neighborhood pond.
_
Usually, by sampling a certain amount of water and assaying
the different types of species pictured on the cards, and their
numbers, the student obtained a . general indication of the pond's
water quality. In turn, this information was sent to the centralized
computer banks. Hence, the program proved to be not only educational,
but useful as well.
The lichen project team and Q:;PIRG would like to substitute
lichens and air pollution for invertebrates and water qualityo
The next time you are walking in the woods and come across
th~ crusty, green lichen, be thankful that they are there, as they
might be the best friend we have in facing the onslaught of air
pollution.

Hood, newly selected LCC Concrete ·Statement editor
designing plans for literary style improvements
The newly selected editor of
the Concrete Statement, Barry
Hood, sees the LCC magazine
as an outlet in which to express
himself. He plans to encourage
quality and life in the magazine
and bring it off the dusty shelves
of the book store and into students' hands.
Hood's primary concern is
quality of a literary magazine.
"Yet," he went on to say, "I

charges against
comic associates
Washington, D.C. (CPS)--Termpaper Library, Inc. filed a lawsuit October 21 against the
"Washington Post," Publishers
Hall Syndicate, and the authors
of the Steve Roper comic strip,
which is syndicated in hundreds
of American newspapers daily.
The suit, filed in US District
Court, claims that the comic strip
was designed to create a public
impression that the business of
furnishing termpapers is a "low
and unlawful enterprise" and that
the parties engaged are "crminal types." The suit, which asks
for $6,000,000 in total damages,
claims the plaintiff has been
brought into public disgrace, and
that the purpose of the comic
was to promote prohibitive legislation to cover the p 1a inti ff' s
business.
The chairman of the board
of Termpaper Library, Inc.,
which has its offices in Washington, D.C,, said that the comic
strip put his company in an "unfavorable light" and characterized
it as '' associating with murders
and thieves."
The particular segment of the
comic strip, which first started
running September 21, depicts a
termpaper company that murders
a professor trying to put through
legislation to outlaw them.

Hood said that as it is now,
most students don't read the

that he plans .to publish it every

Titans win nationals
as'psyche war' ends
(Editor's note; TORCH Sports
Editor Lex Sahonchik traveled
to Pensacola, Florida withLCC's
cross country team this past
weekend to report the event and
to watch the team. Following is
how the team reacted to competing in the number one race
for junior college cross country
runnerso For a report on how
LCC fared at the meet see story
page one.)
Any athletic team studied in
the long hours before an important race or game is a study
in psychological warfare both
against opponents, and for it's
own morale. In the hours before
the National Junior College Athletic Association Cross Country
. Championships in Pe n s a c o l a,
Monday, Lane was no exception
The psychological w a r, or
"psyche," began in earnest at
New Orleans International Airport. While waiting for plane
connections the Lane team met
competitors from Glendale Junior College of Glendale, Arizona.
The two teams immediately began exchanging times, strengths,
and comparative running experience. No doubt each of the teams
had a great deal of trouble believing the other's clockings.
On arrival in Pensacola, comparative times, ratings and theoretical standings were still being discussed at length. At this
point the climate was brought into
perspective--78 degrees with a
warm northwest wind.
Various information gleaned
from opposing coaches shed new
light on the subject of the competitors; Allegheny of Pennsylvania emerged as one of the top
contenders along with Vincennes
and Lane. "They know we're
here!" was Coach Al Tarpenning' s view.

PSU's ricochet off

tie with LCC

A quick set of practice runs

on the course inside Ellyson
Naval Field in Pensacola gave
the Titans an overview of the
fairly flat but mushy four-mile
course. It also gave the LCC
harriers an opportunity to further
review the competition with the
coach of Berks Canyon J.C.more food for worry.
Analysis of fate can continue
just long enough for lady luck
to begin appearing, and she did
in a big way Friday night before
the race. In a team meeting
Tarpenning informed the squad
that they had drawn the best
lane and Allegheny J.C. was relegated to the starting line. But
with over 250 runners expected
to compete that is small consolation. Tom Tyra of Lane summed it up very simply, "I'm
scared."
Most of the team was scared,
or maybe just nervous, but great
pains were taken to insure a
high morale and the all-impor.tant
confidence. The fact remained
that it was a very big race and
it was obvious that that was well
u n d e r s t o o d and r e s p e c t e d.
Nothing was spared by the athletes to keep themselves as physically and mentally fit as possibleo
It wasn't all work for the
team, souvenir hunting, postcard
buying, soda pop drinking, television watching and sleeping were
popular recreations. Warm and
humid weather provided the opportunity for swimming, and football games. However, between
anticipation of return trip layovers in the city of New Orleans, swimming in the Gulf of
Mexico, and playing cards, the
most popular form of recreation
was eating, and nervously going
to bed wondering what the race
would bring for the 250 runnerso

In review of the games, not reported separately by the TORCH
in past issues ...
The LCC soccer team has done
quite well in conference play. On
Oct. 29, the Titans downed the
Siletz Chiefs, 1 to 0, on what
Titan Coach George Gyorgyfalvy
termed, '' a poor field and a poorly refereed game."
On Nov. 3, LCC's defensive
fullback Mike Convey prevented

the am Celtics from scoringbut
two goals as the entire Titan offensive line got into the scoring
act, with either a goal or numerous shots on goal, as the Titans
defeated the Celtics by a 5 to 2
score.
On Nov. 5, the ·third-ranked
Titans held the second-ranked
Salem Kickers scoreless for the
first 39 minutes of the game, before an obscure backpass from
defensiveman Edwin Jaffarian
got by Titan goalie, John Cartmell, and rolled into the net for
the only score of the game, as the
Kickers defeated the Titans, 1 to

year, but the response was poor.
This year there will definitely
be badminton and tennis program

With trash cans as goal posts,
LCC managed to pull out a 1 to
1 tie in a women's field hockey
game against Portland State University (PSU) on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
The teams met at Salem's
Bush Field because of the lack
of traveling funds. The use of
trash cans developed when PSU' s
coach was denied the use of goal
boxes from the Salem Recreation
Department.
During the first half, PSU kept
LCC's goalie, Joan Lamb, busy
keeping the ball out of the goal.
But, by kicking the ball with her
feet and a little help from the
trash cans, she was able to keep
PSU from scoring.
PSU 's only point came 17
minutes into the first half, when
PSU's all-star player, Michelle
Carry from Canada, slapped the
ball into the left corner of the
goal and put PSU out in front
1 to o.
LCC turned the game around
the second half by keeping PSU
down at PSU's end of the field.
LCC 's Sue Mitchell had the ball
in front of the goal several times
and battled PSU players to get
it in, but PSU' s goalie and players would slap the ball back
away from the goal and LCC
would have to start their offensive again.
With 19 minutes gone in the
second half, Ms. Mitchell had
the ball once again in front of
the goal. With a slap shot, the
bal( headed straight for one of
the trash cans. Hitting the trash
can, the ball bounced off and
went in for an LCC score. Due
to darkness, the game was cut
short and the gam 3 ended in a
1 to 1 tie.
'' A draw was a fair result •. .
both teams were evenly matched/' said LCC Coach Audrey
Brown, '' There was good defense
on the part of our goalie, Joan
Lamb, but the whole team played
a nice game of hockey.' '
Yesterday, the U of O downed
the Lane women by a score of 2 to
nothing. Details of this game will
b~ in next week's issue.

Bench Slivers

·• Siletz

from Lex Sahonchik

Sitting on an airliner between Pensacola, Florida and Atlanta, Georgia, one gets a mixed reaction
about the National Junior College Athletic Association Cross Country Championships just completed.
No doubt it is one of the finest moments in Lane
Community College athletics, but there is some
credit to be given, and some criticism to be handed
out.
The meet was big. Maybe the meet was too big.
It was obvious to the spectator that not all the athletes were qualified for that high competitive standard. A 300 runner starting line stretches the
bounds of logic. Despite the onslaught of stampeding
feet the course held up well and was adequately
designed, with the exception of the finish line chute.
With the tremendous number of finishers kicking
in, the chute became clogged and finally backed up
over the finish line. As a result, the official finishing times became totally confused and chaotic-some
runners finishing five feet apart were clocked nearly
30 seconds apart, a graphic illustration of poor organization and lack of foresight. LCC Coach Al
Tarpenning suggested the use of two chutes to remove that hazard, but that suggestion came after
the damage had been done.
Host school Pensacola Junior College made it
plain that they had looked forward to the event for a
long time. But their organization for the awards
banquet was poor and amateur. The master of ceremonies, an official of PJC, began the ceremonies
by apologizing profusely for PJC President T.
Felton Harrison, who was "indeed honored to host"
the NJCAA meet but was "unable to attend." Introductions to officials at the banquet were completely
erroneous and, to top it all off, a very unusual
method of awarding trophies. It consisted of naming
the championship team immediately before any individual medals and before any runnerup teams were
awarded-a result possibly of poor organization?
A great deal of credit goes to the US Navy however, as they conducted a very smooth meet on their
Ellyson Field. First aid services, used by Lane,
were adequately provided by the Navy and their cooperation in all phases was magnificent.
Credit goes where credit is due, and credit is
most certainly due to the Titan cross country squad.
The title of National Champions is not a small one
but it wasn't earned by small people, The difference
between the winners and losers in any sport lies in
the amount of dedication and will power. Driven by
memories of a powerhouse team that was denied
the chance to compete nationally last year and by

~m•iff

)l'

the infectious enthusiam of coach Al Tarpenning,
the 1972 National Champions drove themselves to
the crown with a vengenance.
Humiliating opponent after opponent, LCC swept
through a regular season that climaxed with the
first five finishes in both the Conference Championships and the Regionals. Lane went into the Nationals ranked, in most quarters, as the third
strongest junior college in the nation behind Alleghany of Pittsburg and Butler of El Dorado, Kansas.
The Titans fought off psyche attempts from contenders Berks of Penn. State and Glendale of Arizona. There was never a doubt in the minds of
Tarpenning or his squad; they were the best and
they would prove that in the race.
That race was a long, hard, grueling one. Runner after runner dropped out as the leaders ran a
scorching pace in the early going. In the end it was
the team with the most guts that came out ahead.
Two examples of this gut effort come to my
mind. Bill Cram is one of t~e runners who placed
high enough to burn out any threat from contending
schools. But he did it at an expense. That expense
was maintaining the early pace that burned out
many of the finest runners in the nation. But threefourths of the way into the race the pace began to
show on Cram, and the final hill climb was the
straw that broke the camel's back. Bill literally fell
down the last straightaway, a full half mile. But
rather than dropping out or slowing the pace he
pushed himself across the line, pale as a ghost. It
took Bill a long time to recover his strength enough
to stand up straight. It took Garrie Franklin longer.
Franklin was faced with the same problem as
Cram and reacted in the same way. It caught up with
Garrie and the last downhill stretch of the course.
"I just couldn't move at all." And he didn't five
yards from the finish line. Garrie collapsed from
an overbuildup of lactic acid in the muscles and
from hyperventilation. In plain terms he ran himself into the ground. He was listed in 98th place as
the Navy medics hustled him into an ambulance. He
was taken to the base hospital where he received
relaxant injections and intra venous medication.
It took Garrie the better part of a day to recover
to any degree. He spent the rest of Saturday sleeping, and looked to be on his deathbed. But he's a
national champion, through sacrifice. Such is the
Lane team, coached by one Al Tarpenning.
And their thoughts now . . . track and field,
here they com3.

upsets Titan kickers

LCC loses pennant hopes

by Marty Stalick

Last week, the LCC soccer
team won two games and lost
one, against the U of O Coots,
Central Oregon CC, and the Siletz Chiefs. The loss against the
Chiefs was a costly one since
it ,virtually eliminated -the Titans from a possible first place
finish in the Southern Division
of the Willamette Valley Soccer
League.
On Wednesday, the Titans' forward Edwin Jaffarian scored the
one goal that proved to be too
much for the U of O Coots,
as the Titans won, 1 to O. Titan coach, George Gyorgyfalvy,
said that the team played well,
except for a slow passing attack
between the forwards that enabled the Coot defenders to steal
the ball away from the Titans.
On Friday, Central Oregon
played their first game of the
sea.son against LCC and woundup getting a lesson on secondhalf scoring as the Titans scored
six straight goals enroute to an
easy 8 to 2 victory.
LCC forwards Jaffarian and
Alvin Li provided the offensive
thrust, as each man scored three
goals apiece. Defensive fullback
Mike Convey scored a goal on
a free kick and forward Richard
Cutler scored LCC' s first goal of
the lop-sided game on a diagonal
shot from 10 feet out.
Coach Gyorgyfal vy said that
the Titans played a much better
game against COCC than against
the U of O Coots, because the
Titans were playing on home
ground and they knew that they
would have just one more game
to practice offensive and defensive maneuvers before the Titans would tangle with numberone ranked OSU.
On Sunday, the Titans, highlyrated to beat the Siletz Chiefs,
found themselves caught on the
losing end of the rating sheet
as the Chiefs scored a final
goal with just 90 seconds in the
game to defeat the Titans, 3
to 2.
Highlights for the Titans in
a game termed by Coach Gyorgyfalvy as being, "pretty slow
in action," were Jim Tofte's
breaking his six-game scoring

drought and the overall good
defensive play by Mike Convey
and Melvin Nott.
Coach Gyorgyfal vy, realizing
the Titan's fatigue and lackluster on the field, did not take
away from the outstanding play
by the Chiefs. "Siletz is a much
better team than when we played
them earlier in the season. Some
of their players are still just
beginners, but still, they outplayed us and we know it."
When asked about why the Titans appeared to look tired on
the field, Gyorgyfalvy said, "We
didn't play our best. We're down
for a number of reasons, but
it's not rriy business to find
out why. I think the boys are
old enough to try to solve these
things themselves."
Obviously disappointed with the
loss to the Chiefs, Gyorgyfalvy
was still able to look ahead
to tomorrow's game with the
number-one ranked OSU Rangers. ''We have to be at our lifetime best to beat them, but then
you never know; they may have
a day against us, like we had
today against Siletz."
The Titans remain in third position in the league with a conference record of 6 wins, 4 losses
and an overall record of 7-4-2.

ANALYSIS

Wlyeatre

New course examine d

by Jim Wo·rlein

After Wednesday evening's Board of Education
meeting the score in the welding technology battle
now reads, Administration 1, Students o.
The Board voted five to one to approve the Welding Technology Program revision for the first year
with the stipulation that the administration hereafter seek input from students, and any revision suggestions necessary to update the course.
But students are on the offensive, opening a second front Monday afternoon when they met with
Associate Dean of Instruction Jim Piercey in the
President's Dining Room.
It was a formal meeting of the LCC Chaptel'.'of
the American Welding Society (AWS), which consists of first and second year students enrolled
in welding technology, and is the organization
representing those students against the new program.
Piercey, who officially became part of the administration at 8 a.m. yesterday morning, was baptized by fire as almost the entire AWS membership
layed out and explained a list of requirements they
feel should be integral points of the Welding Technology Program. Their list of requirements is as
follows:
• A certification program be re-established as
outlined basically in the LCC catalogue 1972-73.
• A two year, open entry-open exit, program
should be established that will guarantee the student an educational opportunity to become a welding
technician.
• Instructors should be hired on the basis that
they can perform welding tasks to at least the level •
expected of the student, and that the instructor
should be able to prove his competence in welding
to the students.
• The Lay Advisory Board should be reorganized
in such a manner as to allow for equitable input
from large industry, small businesses, unions,
professional welding associations, and students.
• Senior project classes should be reinstated to
allow for an environment in oractical training.
• A Student Advisory and Negotiation Committee
should be formed with the same bargaining power,
with the Board and Administration, as currently
enjoyed by the Staff Personal Policy Committee.
e The welding program should be designed in such
a manner to give the student sufficient training to
allow him to gain employment not only in the immediate area, but in other areas of the state and the nation.
• More time emphasis should be placed on welding
labs to allow for more practical experience.
• More welding reference books should be made
available in the library.
The AWS group stressed that immediate action
was necessary on Piercey's part to get the problem
solved. Jack Hart, ASLCC publicity director and
student government representative for the group
said, "If w_e get the administration soft shoe then it
might be two years before a solution is reached."
Piercey complimented the group saying, "I wish
all students were this interested in their classes."
The most recent developments have capped
seven weeks of unrest in the Welding Technology
Department. The ordeal has divided the students
(and possibly the entire Industrial Technology Department) into two factions consisting of students
and instructors on each side.
The hassle broke into the open (see TORCH,
Oct. 3) two weeks after Fall Term classes began.
Students enrolled in Welding Technology (bothfirst
and second year students) discovered that the program curriculm had been changed, to an entirely
different one than that listed in the catalog, and that
state certification would not be part of the class.
Some of the students enrolled in the program
were under the assumption that they were on the old
program and weren't told of the change until two
weeks after classes had started, according to Jim
'-Key, a member of the AWS.
At the time the new program had not been approved by the Curriculum Committee, Instructional Council, the LCC Board of Education or the
State Board of Education.
When asked why such an irregular manner was
undertaken for the new program, Gerald Rasmussen, associate dean of instruction, said that the administration had to do it that way because the administration felt •the program was in trouble.
He added that the administration had spoken to
all the parties involved for the program's approval
and they agreed, in concept, with the structure of
the course.
Bud Land, Industrial-Technology Department
chairman, explained to the TORCH the benefits of
the program and why it was changed. Land said that
he didn't expect any trouble from the change-over,
but he has thought it was necessary ever since he
came to LCC over two years ago. According to

Land, there were three basic reasons for changing
the program, (1) an Oregon Technical Institute (OTI)
evaluation report, (2) reports that LCC's welding
program graduates had a bad reputation, and (3) advice from the Welding Advisory Committee.
The OTI report was prepared for former Associate Dean of Instruction Ray La Grandeur by OTI
members who visited the LCC campus for two days
in June, 1971. Land said that the report said there
was no welding technology program as such at LCC.
''It said we had a metallurgy, chemistry, physics,
and engineering program, but no welding technology,
he said.
The bad reputation of LCC welding students appears, also, to be a matter of opinion. Prospective
welding employers in the area (including members
of the Welding Lay Advisory Committee) had different opinions of program graduates. Some said
they were "worthless," and that one individual
couldn't even light a torch. Yet other employers
defended former LCC students and their performance. Some said that they had never heard anything, one way or another.
Chet Aubrey, LCC welding instructor, told the
TORCH that one must remember that the Welding
Technology Program is not the only program that
turns out welders at the college. "There are wel- •
ders from the Mechanics Department, Adult Edu-·
cation, and Manpower Development Training Act.
I think the administration should keep this in mind
and employers should judge a person on an individual basis."
The Welding Lay Advisory Committee feels the
college should meet the needs of the community
and produce welders that the local employers can
use. The general consensus of the committee is that
the old program wasn't giving them what they
needed. What they do need, according to several,
is a good all-around welder. They found LCC welders we re too technically oriented and "just got in
the way . " But again there was a difference of
opinion by some of the members on what direction
the college should take in their welding technology.
Land said that the committee unanimously favored
the new program, but in fact all of the members
were not present when it was presented by Land
last summer. They did see -the 10 pointplan but not
the program's actual curriculum.
Land feels that the new program will benefit
the students in such a way that they can be trained
by the end of the first year to go out and get a job
in the community. "We want to teach them the
manipulative skills tbat they will need on a job; a
welding certificate has nothing to do with getting or
holding a job." The Advisory Committee members
also feel that a certificate (in any given welding
field) is unimportant.
Land stated at the Board meeting Wednesday
night that a welding certificate is only good for 90
days. But, according to three boiler inspectors in
the Department of Commerce in Eugene, Portland,
and Salem which the TORCH contacted, any particular- welding certificate is good for a lifetime.
Many occupations specify that a welder must be
certified and in the opinion of Jack Bell, state
boiler inspector in Eugene, "An individual would
have a better chance at many jobs ifhe had a welding certificate.''
Second year students were given a special section to complete the program they started last year
but are concerned by the fact that the first year
students might not be getting the best program.
Most of the first year students feel the same.
Many students think the Lay Advisory Commitis setting up a program that will keep a student in
low paying positions when on the job. They don't
want to be what they term as "slave labor."
The students and some instructors are upset
that they don't have text -the ones they were to
have were sent back because Tom Arthur, lead instructor in the department, hired by Land last summer, was to write a packet. But the students have
yet to receive the packet.
The administration Advisory Committee and
Land feel the new program is what the department
has needed for a long time. If there was a problem
in the department this is their answer. They don't
think the students have looked at the matter objectively, but have become confused with the new
priorities in the program.
Next Part Two: The OTI ReEort.

be "by two-thirds vote of the votes cast by the
Associated Students of Lane Community College."
Again Jones explained the change, saying that the
alteration is only in the operational procedures
of the Senate. Now amendments would not need
to be voted on by the entire student body--because
this would only hinder the effective functioning
of the Senate, _Jones said.

"The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-The-Moon Marigolds''
radiates with vitality and energy. Despite the few technical difficulties (a phone ringing after it has been picked up, or lights
coming up too soon), "Marigolds" is a satisfying experience in
theatre going.
"Marigolds," which opened Friday night in the LCC Forum
Theatre is an intensely moving play about a mother and her two
high school age daughters who half-run through their own chaotic
lives while unsuccessfully trying to pull the family together at
the sam'e time.
Carolyn Martino does an almost perfect job of bringing across
the bitter, acid-tongued, horrible, rude, funny, but very pathetic
character of the mother, Beatrice, the dominant role in the play
and on the stage.
Not quite perfect though, because, as she is the central character
she doesn't always dominate every scene as well as she could.
But when she does, watch out. One can almost feel the audience
cring~Rg in their seats as her sarcastic, screeching voice lashes
out at one daughter, then the other, and sometimes both at the same
time. On the other extreme, Beatrice has her quiet moments, and as
done by Ms. Martino, they are quite stunning.
Karen Orendurff plays Ruth, the half-mad daughter whose irrational, childish behavior is a little hard to believe until we get to
know Beatrice, her mother, then we can't blame her. Ms. Orendurff
gets better as the play continues and controls the role well.
Tillie, the other daughter, is played by Martha Wehmeier.
It's a difficult role to play because T~llie is very quiet, and introShe's the only sane member of the family. Playing
spective.
with characters like Ruth and Beatrice, it is extremely hard to
project her role, but Ms. Wehmeier does it admirably.
The last two roles in the play are small but memorable.
Nanny, piayed by Pauline Whitney, is a 78 year old woman who
throughout the entire play never blinks, never speaks, and very
rarely moves except to shuffle slowly and awkwardly back and forth
between her room and the kitchen. Ms. Whitney is outstanding in
her role and is a joy to watch.
Finally, Judy Perkins, playing Janic_e Vick~ry, a dizzyheaded, Shirley Temple type, provides the audience with some much
needed comic relief. Ms. Perkins, whose role lasts less than
three minutes, shows how much and how well a small part can be
played, and deserved the applause afforded her by the audience
upon her exit.
Director George Lauris kept the entire production at an even
pace throughout, and Dave Sherman's set was at it's usual best,
setting the mood and visual background as the play unfolds.
"Marigolds" continues next week, Nov. 15 through 19. Performances begin at 8 o.m.

I

Nationals ...

(Continued from page 1)
Previews of the course enabled
the Lane harriers to accurately
judge curves and hills, keeping
them in a formidable position.
The first mile was run very
quickly, burning out a number of
runners and spacing the massive
pack into the "class runners" who
gradually drifted to the front, and
those runners who were not competitive enough to pose a threat.
Throughout the first three
miles of the course Lane ran well,
very well. Urged on by a frantic
Coach Tarpenning, who nearly
ran the coursehimselfencouraging his athletes. Dale Hammitt
began methodically picking up
places, followed by powerfully
runners Randy Griffith and Bill
Cram. Gary Cassidy continued to
run a very evenly paced run and
Lane soon outdistanced the reputedly powerful Allegheny team.
At the three and one half mile
mark, an exhausting series of
down and uphill curves greeted
the runners, followed by a final
long straight stretch into the finish line.
Different runners reacted in
different ways to the deadly hill.
Dale Hammitt surged to the top
and burned off the last straight to
an eighth place finish.
Randy Griffith pulled himself
over the crest and ran on in as
did a surprising Gary Cassidy'and
Tim Williams.
For Bill Cram it was torture
Exhau_sted as he was, he managed
to cllmb the hill and weaved
drunkenly over the last straight
looking like he would pass out:
Garrie Franklin didn't make it
up the hill. "I just couldn't move
anymore," said Franklin later
"M Y strides got shorter and•
shorter and I lost 80 places."

Franklin collapsed and made it
across •the finish line on sheer
guts alone.
Lost in the performances of
others was a superb race by Tom
Tyra. Tyra, who was emotionally
pent up hours before race time
burst out to a smoking first mil;
time and coasted in for an exceptionally fine effort.
The conclusion of tile race
found Lane runners exhausted,
but looking anxiously for the
placing of the top competitors;
those placings were not good and
Al Tarpenning cautiously spoke
the magic words-''We're tough,
we're tough, 85 points is tough to
beat!" Eighty-five points was not
beaten.
A Florida runner offered his
opinion: "It looks like you got a
champ_ionship team." A bewilderect Allegheny coach muttered
"It' s no t even close, Al" and an'
excited Titan team let out the
whoops of victory.
Later that afternoon the proud
Lane Co~~unity College Titans
were officially crowned National
Champions with Glendale of Arizona taking second. They recei.v~d the plaudits of the meet
officials,_ and ~ellow harriers.
But as with all high achievements
the price was paid in pain, exemplified by Garrie Franklin who
h~d to be hospitalized for the ulh~ate effort, and by a reeling
Bill Cram who ran across the
finish line on heart alone while
scoring vital points.

Meeting scheduled
The Black Student Union will
hold it's meeting Thursday at
3 p.m. in the Ethnic Studies Department office.
