Proposed shuffle in
Industrial Tech Dept.
Associate Dean of Instruction, James' Pi€rcey, recommended last
week to the LCC Administration that the Industrial Technology Department be dissolved at the end of the 1972-73 school year, Discussion

According to Dean Piercey, Land's resignation was accepted by
the Office of Instruction and will be passed on to the LCC Board
of Education which is the only body that can act on a resignation.
Piercey said that in view of the past conflicts the Department
has historically experienced, it was felt that the Office of Instruction
should recommend an alternative solut10n. "I propo ed a drpartment

Wom-en's program drafted-

by Kathie Durbin
A request for a $32,000 allocation in next ye-ar's budget to
fund a Women·s Program at LCC
is in the hands of Dean of Instruction Lewis Case and Dean of Students Jack Carter this week,
The re quested appropriation
would include the salaries of two
professional women, one to coordinate academic programs and
the other to administer the program of support servicl•s; would
pay the salary of a part-time secretary; cover office supplies; and
set up a fund to pay-visiting speakers.

One of 294

Over two-thirds of those voting ratified the proposed ASLCC Constitution and By-laws during last week's elections. This was the second
time students have vot.ed· on a proposed Constitution this school year.
The first time, Fall Term, the documents failed to receive the twothirds majority they needed for ratification. According to the official
tallies 213 students voted yes on the documents and 81 voted no. Fortythree students wrote in votes for "measure #1," a proposal to eliminate
renumeration for ASLCC officers. Of the 43 write in votes only one
was a no vote. ASLCC President Jay Bolton said the 42yesvotes
" indicates that the upcoming administration" will have to deal with
the proposal . He explained that with only 42 votes there was nothing
he could do about it.

In addition, the mf'mor andum

The proposal is the result of a

student support for such a program and what they \\ ould like to
see accomplished by it.
When asked about the outlook for
a Women's Program in the 197374 budget, Dean Case said that
he was in favor of providing any
services that students felt were
needed, but that many diverse interests would be competing for
funding when the budget is compiled. The budget deadline is March

TORCH sees role as 'nit-picker' of ASLCC Elections
The elections are over and LCC students finally
have a Constitution and a set of By-laws. But the
election process, even though better organized than
the Fall Term elections, still leaves much to be
desired.
Last week's elections were hampered by a poorly
worded ballot (it gave one the impression there
was no way the Constitution could be defeated),
unattended ballot boxes and a voting station attendent who solicited votes and freely gave away
handfuls of ballots to anyone who asked for them.
The election resulted in a Senator-at-Large, the
Senate Advisor and the TORCH Editor all making
accusations and comments that were uncalled for
and unnecessary, but which were prompted by. the
circumstances.
And the election also resulted in the TORCH
being accused of being "nit-picky" on the elections.
This was one of the few statements that was made
with -which we agree.
But, we are happy to see that ASLCC First

their opinions. The following Forum commentary
was submitted by LCC students Jack Hart and
Joe Azhocar).
The student government could be the biggest
rip-off in the school. They have $106,000 of our
money and are wasting it as fast as they cano
The thing that blows our mind is the incredible
shit that they have been pulling off, like the latest
joyride to Anaheim, California for a convention with
Mickey Mouse and Company at Disneyland.
To make matters even worse, two out of the
three people that went were Executive Cabinet
members (originally only four of the executive
members were going) and the third was a person
with family in the area who, we're sure, had a nice
visit.
What the hell good are conventions anyway?
You can't eat them and they don't keep the rain
off your back. We have yet to see one brought back
and given to the students so that we can benefit
by it. The only thing to be accomplished is to
give somebody a nice little trip on students' money.
Power does have its rewards. This latest convention
was however, given quite a buildup as a "Giant
Step" forward for students at Lane. We shall see.
We were totally pissed-off with the situation
which camf! up in the Senate meeting Feb.22 in
which there was a move to censure Linda Moore
and Charles Akers for distributing a hand bill recommending a change in the Constitution. The Bill
advocated nullifying salaries of the Executive Cabinet members and Senators-at-Large. The only
people that really got up-tight were those on salary.
Fortunately, there are some people in the Senate
who realize that a student does have the right
to express an opinion. Despite strong opposition,
Linda and Charles were spared the censure.
The whole rationale behind the move for censure was that Linda and Charles had acted "Undemocratically'' by taking their opinion to the Stu-

Vice President Chuck Packnett, who is the official
elections officer, has already begun plans for Spring
Term elections. The day after last week's elections
ended Packnett had compiled a list of possible
methods to cure some of last week's illso
This shows us that Packnett is interested in fair
and streamlined election procedures. This is good

We will closely watch every polling booth;
closely scrutinize the established election guidelines
and demand that they be followed. And , more
importantly, we will closely examine every detail
of the elections to insure that every candidate has

are flawless--or face the possibility of holding
them until they are.

FORUM
dent Body.
If anyone was in a democratic way it was Linda
and Ch_arles. ~he Senate and more particularly the
Executive Cabmet and senators-at-large reminded
-one of a scene out of an old Nazi movie , Essentially what this type of action indicates is that
?tudents have the right to freedom of expression
m the Senate, provided they are not in opposition
to the "Power Structure.''
There is a feeling that a lot of the senators, old •
and new, have become puppets of the Executive
Cabinet and that the Executive Cabinet themselves
have lost all sensit.ivity to the student body. They
seem to be acting in behalf of the Administration
rather than the students who elected them.
If that isn't enough, the student government has
been spending money hand over fist and most of it
without the consent of the Student Senate or the
student body at large. The Executive Cabinet has
taken upon itself the task of spending student funds
without any real input as to how these funds should
be spent. Four hundred dollars were spent for a
lecture on flying saucers, an extensive sum has
been spent for new typewriters and a desk calculator. Funds have also been allotted for new
office chairs ($340), new desks, and who knows what
else.
It is important to note that none of these expenditures were brought before the Senate for
approval. Approach · the Executive Cabinet as to
why they did not go through the Senate for approval and the answer invariably comes back that
the money has been allocated in the budget and they
might as well spend it. BULLSHIT!
In one of the finest examples, we were unable
to find a copy of the old Constitution, but it has
always been traditional to get Senate approval for
expenditures above $25. While everyone in the Senate is talking about priorities, no one is taking
much notice that at its present rate of spending
the Executive Cabinet could spend most of the bud(Continued on page 16)

WASHINGTON - The
term "energy crisis" has
pushed its way uninvited into
our everyday vocabulary
with the help of a massive
media campaign financed by
the 011 industry.
Certai!')ly the oil companies would like the government and the public to think
there's an energy shortage.
Then they can use the
emergency as an excuse to
end government regulation
anct to raise prices.
But whether the energy
shortage is a genuine
problem or a scare campaign _
remains undetermined.
Davict S. Freeman, chairman of the Energy Policy
Project, recently called the
energy crisis "a smokescreen
for a massive exercise in
picking the pocket of the
American consumer to the
tune of billions of dollars a
year."
The speech predictably
made Mobil Oil President
William Tavoulareas to
erupt like a new-founct oil
well. As a member oHhe project's advisory board, he successful Iv forced the Ford
Foundation, which finances
the project, to call Freeman
on the carpet and tonguelash the oil industry critic.
Freeman particularly
enraged the oil industry
when he criticized oil quotas.
These quot as keep large
amounts of foreign oil off the
American market. thus making the oil supply low and the
price artificially high.
This ''drain American
first" policy helped create
heating oil shortages in some
parts of the nation this winter
and has slowlv clrained our
energy resources, says FrPema n.
Instead of repealing the
quotas, Freeman notes, the oil
companies are demanding
that the government keep
them. The oilmen want the
government to lift the price
restrictions on natural gas
and to allow them more environmental liberties in dri 11ing, mining and exploration.
Freeman has excellent creclentials. He was an adviser to
both Presidents Kennedy and
Johnson. But his latest advice
has not impressed the rich oil
barons.
Drugs That Kill
The crackdown on the distribution of the drug speed
has apparently been successful enough to trigger a
counterphenomenon . An unpubl isherl federal report
claims clrug users are switching from speed and psychedelics to sedatives.
In this report. 1he Bureau of
Narcotics and Dangerous
Drugs warns that many of the
sedatives now in vogue
among thrill seekers may
lead to a trip to the morgue.
Unknown to man~· users. the
sedatives can be addictive
and can cause convulsions
leading to cleath. Such drugs
as Qualudes or Sorpors can

be deadly when combined
with alcohol. Ironically.
these drugs are often pushed
as an aphrodisiac to the
naive, even though they are
renowned for producing a SP ·
dentary, trance-like state in
the user.
Qualudes and Sorpors have
been labelled as dangerous
drugs in England since 1966.
Yet they are still classifi ed
with aspirin on the Foo(! and
Drug Administration ' s
danger scale here in ' the
United States.
The sedatives are easil y
obtainable, either with or
without a prescript ion. There
is no underground manufac turing, as · with LSD or

Dear Editor:
Re: LCC student reports rape
attempt. "Of the three attempted
rapes one was successful." I seriously question the use of the
word "successful." Whose point of
view are you representing?
In my opinion, the quotations attributed to Detective Lewis Hince,
"This particular incident was kind
of flakey, '' "We're looking at it
with a jaundiced eye," and "When
wom,~n 'plop out their thumbs'
to hitchhike, many people think
they are asking for more than a
ride," are giving credence to possible personal or :departmental
prejudices . . I resent the implications in his statements.

by Arthur Hoppe

I received a press release in the mail. I think it's from the US
Postal Service. It's difficult to tell. Water or something seems to have
penetrated the plastic envelope in which the tattered contents have been
rewrapped.
But after going down to the Post Office to pick it up, paying the
eight cents postage due, wringing it out and pasting it together, I was
able to decipher:
"A grateful ·Nation today will honor Postman Herman A. (unreadable). Mr. Unreadable became a national hero by actually delivering a
letter to Mr. and Mrs. Albert Framm of 2345 Myrtle Street, Trenton,
N.J., that had been mailed from Trenton N.J., only 48 hours earlier.
" While the letter was actually addressed to Miss Polly Aganap of
5432 Male Street, Trenton, Ohio, the Framms were delighted to receive
it. ; It' s a delight to receive any mail these days,' said Mrs. Framm.
'' Postmaster General E. T. Kl assenfus s hailed the heroic postman' s
fe at. ' This proves, ' he said proudly, ' that we can, too, deliver the mail.
In the future... "
The r est was unfortunately undec ipherable. So I called the Postal
Ser vi ce's top Efficiency Expert, Homer T. Pettibone. His third assistant
secretar y said he' d be gl ad to fill in · the details for me over lunch.
I was just finished my third cup of coffee when Mr. Pettibone finally totter ed in the door and crept over to the table.
" Hel, ' ' he said, painstakingl y settling in a chair, " lo. How, "
he continued, knocking over the catsup, "are,' ' he added, slipping a
spoon in his pocket, " you ?"
I said that seeing he wasn't in his office, perhaps he could speak
freely. His shoulders straightened and his eyes unglazed.
' 'Right you are:'' he said. "Sorry to be, as we say in the service,
delayed. But I got, as we say in the service, mislaid. I forgot this restaurant's zip code. "
Then zip codes were important for the speedy delivery of mail ?
" Oh, yes," he said. "Adding five digits to an envelope increases
the weight of a letter by .00003 miligrams and often prevents it from being
blown away when we toss it out the window."
Out the window ? Why?
"To see if it can meet the rigorous standards set by our unforgettable motto. You know, 'Neither rain nor sleet nor gloom of
night ... 'Mr. Pettibone frowned. " How does it go?"
Not very well, I said. Whatever happened to one-day service?
"Just as promised, he said. " If, before 10 a.m., you drop your
letter in any mail box marked One-Day Service, we guarantee to pick
it up one day."
Mr. Pettibone went on to talk animatedly about other new efficiencies, such as automated package crushers, rapid-fire letter
shredders and the hiring of four African gorillas to hand st amp items
marked, " Fragile--Hand Stamp."
But ne was proudest of his new system which routes all mail
through the cafeteria. "As we say in the Service," he said, " Let's
bring the mail and the employees together."
I asked him at what time Postman Herman A. Unreadable would be
honored.
"At 10 a.m. on August 3," he said " 1970.''
I said my press release must have been delayed.
" As we say in the Service," he said, "'better l ate,"
Than never ?
" Yes/ ' agreed Mr. Pettibone. "We say that, too.' '

Women's program.
(Continued from page 1)
• a broad spectrum of support
services such as counseling and
workshops;
• an outreach program to contact women in the comm Jnity who
may be prospective students;
• and assistance with the Affirmative Action Program which encourages equal employment of women at LCC.
The women students who have
helped to draft the proposal em-,
phasized that their first priority is
providing a program of broad supportive services to help women
students who have special problems in housing, child care, and
employment. They hope to be able
to offer moral support for those
who have been away from an academic environment for several
years.
Services presently available
t h r o u g h the Student Awareness
Center (SAC) and the Student Health Service would be incorporated
into the new program. According
to Ms. Dunn, interested male students might event u a 11 y be included in the program.
Ms. Clark is particularly interested in helping women enrolled in technical and vocational
i)rograms, as she has been involved
in both the Welding and Auto ¥echanics programs. She sµggested that

Tutorial services

expanded by PTK
The LCC chapter of Phi Theta
Kappa, a national junior college
honor society, is attempting to
est ab 1is h a tutoring service
through the Student Awareness
Center, (SAC) according :to society President, Stan Nielsen.
Nielsen said the service will
try to supplement tutoring presently conducted in such areas as
language arts, math and chemistry.
There are many other areas, however, where tutoring is unavailable, said Nielsen, and his group
will attempt to assist students
in these areas.
Nielsen asked that people wishing tutoring to leave their name

to LCC writers

A Workshop on Imaginative Writing will be offered Spring Term
through the Language Arts Department The course is designed to
give encouragement and practical
experience and techniques in writing. Major emphasis will be on
prose fiction (short story and novels), but the program's flexibility will allow for work in specialized fields as well, depending
on the student's interest and ability.
The Workshop gives three hours
of transferable credit (as an elective in the Arts and Le.tters
group). The . prerequisite, Writing III or equivalent, is calculated to encourage registration
and subsequent creativity in the
course.
Three sections of Imaginative
Writing are scheduled, at least one
section each day of the week. Their
instructors are Ruby Vonderheit
and Sheila Juba.

fers to say "LCC will continue to
provide a growing learning environment for the community."
Rom:i.ne, said, "We print publications to keep the pub 1i c informed, and issue reports through
local news media, but our aim is
always to draw steady new students to the campus."
Most operational expenses for
education are paid for i n one form
or another by students. Tuition
and state reimbursement under
the credit system, make up a
major portion of the budget.
Under the credit system, 45
credit hours equal one FTE (Full

hours equal one FTE in the Ba-

microphones well apart, they are
kept approxlmately the same distance apart as a person' s ears.
Lichty said the phase relationship of a sound striking one microphone (or ear) before the other indicates not only direction and
distance, but physical surroundings as well, according to recent studies.
KLCC has already broadcast one
bi-naural program-a five -part
documentary on local guitar-builder Steve Kalb--and has a small
but growing library of bi-naural
tapes, according to Lichty.
Among the tapes are a walk
through Bohemia Mines ("Very
freaky," said Lichty), recordings
of the anti-war demonstrations
downtown last March 9 and 10,
and a series of dramas written
especially for bi-naural record=
ing.
Plans are being made for more
recordings, such as a tour through
Weyerhauser and interviews with
a ship~builder in Coos Bay, and a

about 100 credit hours or 2 FTE ' s.
The low credit registration combined with a low total student
head-count for the entire fiscal
year, including Summer Term, will
result in a low total budget projection for next year.
If Spring Term enrollment follows it's usual pattern, according
to ad m i n is t rat o rs ,the student
shortage may become critical. And
therefore, getting information to
the public about course offerings
may be a way of maintaining curriculum and budget.
One LCC administrator has advertised classes in the past. Richard Earl, chairman of the Basic Education Department, writes
advertisements for his department
which are printed in college publications and local newspapers; he
urges people in the community to
finish high school.
"We have students in Basic Ed
from 16 to 60 who come out here
to finish high school, and they
don't want to leave. Many of them
stay to take other college courses," Earl said.
Earl thinks this type of advertising should go on all the time,
instead of stop-gap situations when
students are needed.
"I'd like to keep reminding the
public of what we have to offer,
,md encourage them to take the
first step toward continuing their
education, Som e peopl e get as far

them,' ' Earl said.

right to impound the funds.
Ms. Harmon, who just returned from a regional
meeting of the American Association of Community

sources the disposition of the funds should be known
by mid-April.
When asked about the future of the Veterans
Office, Dean Carter said that the new ofice will
continue operating whether federal funds are available or not. According to Carter the office, which
serves 20 per cent of the LCC student body, was
created for three main reasons:
To serve the
needs of a major sector of students; to alleviate
bookkeeping problems in the Financial Aids Office
(which became apparent during last year's auditing);
and to become eligible for funds available under
the new federal program.
The Veterans Office is operated by two full-time
employees and one half-time clerk, who also works
for the Financial Aids Office during the evening.

OSPIRG . ..
Jon Haterius, of BRING, · told
the - TORCH that BRING is planning to meet with each distributor individually within the next
two weeks to explore the possibility of recyling the cans and the
large volume of broken glass.
The result of BRING's first
meeting, with Willamette Beverage
Co., spawned the idea of acquiring
a large-capaci ty can crusher to
smash the cans, which is the first
step in the recycling process.
A can crusher, according to
Smith,could be used through BRING
to smash soup, fruit, and other
cans, as well as pop cans. Fur=
ther investigation is underway.
Smith said his company is extremely interested in recycling
and that all the company's products, from twist-off bottle-caps
to the cardboard six-pack containers are reusable or recyclable.

litter problem of cans and bottles.
He felt they responded to the industry that was most visible--the
soft drink industry.
All three distributors have experienced a sharp decrease in can
sales. Smith estimated that can

dropped from about 2,000 cases per
day to roughly 100. Fiedler estimated that Coke can sales were
down four per cent. "Before, you
had40 per cent of all your sales
was in cans."
Coleman, of Royal Crown, guessed that '' if something doesn't
change, cans will be virtually gone
in the near future."
"The general public is assuming, since the distributors are taking them (cans) back that they
are going to reuse them " a;_
PIRG's Murphy concluded: ''It's

Women and men eligible ·
for zoology_scholarship
by Kathie Durbin
Two $50 scholarships, to be awarded for the second year in a
row to zoology students engaged in ornithological studies (a branch of
zoology dealing with birds) will be awarded without discrimination
against women students, said Zoology Instructor Floyd Weitzel, last
week.
The scholarships, awarded by the LCC Science Department from
funds presented by the Eugene Natural History Society, go to students
who study the bird population on the LCC campus.
Last year, the scholarships went to two male students in Weitzel's
bird-banding project, which, at the tim:i. was one of many options
open to Weitzel's general zoology class, but which P.Xcluded wom2n
stujents.
In late January of this year Weitzel broke-off the tie betw•~.en the
bird-banding project and his zoology class rather than admit wom,;n
students to the project. He is continuing the bird-banding as a private
project with the help of students of his choice, separate from the
classroom.
Weitzel said that, in place of the bird-banding projed, this year
he is asking students interested in the scholarships, to submit their
own individual projects for consideration. He added that students
intending to pursue careers in zoology will be given priority in the
awarding of the grants.
Weitzel continues to use LCC prop2rty and equipm,;nt in his
bird-banding activities, but says this equipment is also used for classroom activities.
Weitzel said that he sees no conflict in using LCC equipment for
outside activitie.s. He also said that LCC regulations permH usin,:s
equipm,~nt for activities that would raise the proficiency of an instructor
and that Science De;>artm,mt Chairman John Jacob3 has knowledge of

The program
has received
criticism in the past from local
businesses because it was felt to
be competitive. According to Luck,
the department does not solicit
work but makes every effort to
avoid taking work from commerical service shops. Cars are
not accepted for the program if
they are covered with insurance,
said Luck, and '' anything we feel
should be repaired downtown, we
send downtown.''
Luck also stated that the costs
of parts and materials have risen
from four to 50 per cent in the

Class to use
radio and TV
to portray ADC
A women's class (Orientation to
College for Returning Women) is
planning to make both a radio
and TV documentary on campus using LCC facilities.
Jan Brandstrom, who teaches
the class, said the idea came after one of the class sessions. A
few of the women told of personal
feelings of the difficult times they
were going through in dealing with
the stigma attached to being recipients of Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) monies.
Darlene Gentry, a student who is
spearheading the project, said the
class wants "to try to correct
the erroneous illusion that society
has of women on welfare. Also, we
have hopes of portraying to the
public the good that ADC scholarships and the grant program has
done for the individual mother."
Ms. Gentry continued, "The public has a distorted image of the
people on welfare and this needs
to be changed. Through radio and
TV documentaries, it is hoped that
the public will become aware that
women, if given the chance, can
raise their self values, individual
awareness, and become responsible for themselves and their
children, thus removing themselves from the welfare rolls."
Ms. Gentry concluded that in
view of the cutback on ADC scholarships and child care facilities,
the public should be made aware
of what is being lost.

"No way in hell I can make it . .

Government discriminates against singles through taxes, financial aid
Analysis by Bill Tufts

"I'm two months behind on my
tuition. . . If I don't come up with
some money, there's no way in
hell I can make it."
So says Hiram Gilbert, a fulltime student at LCC, who 1 like
many other college students, is
experiencing financial difficulties
that may force him to leave school.
Gilbert attends school under the
GI Bill~ and feels that the Bill
deals with him unfairly because
he is single.
If Gilbert were to marry, he
would automatically become eligible for $41 more in veterans
benefits per month. Forty-one dollars a month is a lot , of money,
says Gilbert, "when your already

living on a shoestring. 1 '
Gilbert is now searching for a
part time job. If he finds one,
he will again be better-off married. His income from such a
job would be taxed at a higher
rate if he remains single.
Hiram Gilbert is not the only
person with these problems.
Almost two-thirds of the 5,288
students enrolled at LCC Fall
Term, (3,295), belong to a hidden
minority--one which crosses lines
of race, religion, and national origin. The minority is single Americans.
Each one of these single students either has been, or is being,
subtely pressured to assume the

responsibilities of marriage,
whether he/ she knows it or not.
Tradition, social mores, and financial inequities, are intertwined in
a conspiracy to force unmarried
women and men into wedlock.
Housing discrimination is one
example of the social pressures
on singles. Even in the EugeneSpringfield metropolitan area,
where the single population is proportionately higher than might be
found in towns and cities without
a university, the unmarried male
or female cannot live where he
or she pleases regardless of ability to pay. A personal telephone
poll of 20 area apartment houses
elicited six negative responses

when asked if they rented to single
people.
•
Such discrimination is perfectly
legal, according to the Lane County District Attorney's office, and
indeed, no specific mention of unmarried persons is made anywhere
in the civil rights section of the
Oregon Revised Statues.
Why do some landlords refuse
to rent to single men and women?
One reason was expressed by a

policy he said, "I've tried single

why, they ~ere even taking drugs

Housing problems are easier to

overlook than financial pressures.
The availability of residences that
will rent to and in fact cater to
single people is high, The real
crunch on singles is financial, and
the greatest source of that pressure is the government.
The government outdoes all others when it comes to disparity in
financial dealings with single people as opposed to those who are

ducing any greater risk of infection by being in the
room.
Ms. Ward opened the door of a room that was
approximately 20 feet by 14 feet. Across from
the door was a window with venetian blinds covering
it. On either side of the room were cabinets. On
these sat stainless steel instruments and long narrow stain 1es s steel containers, somewhat like narrow shoeboxes . On my right was an examining
table, much the same as would be seen in any doctor's inner office. At one end of the table were
stirrups. Opposite the table was a suction machine.
The machine, which was the only instrument in
the room that looked out of the ordinary, was three
feet high. It was approximately one foot square, and
two small, clear, rubber or plastic suction tubes
came out from the top of it. On one side panel
were some dials.
"We will be using this room .. _,, Ms. Ward
told me.
The patient, a small woman with medium length
brown hair, came into the room. She was wearing
a robe, her gown and a hospital gown. The nurse's
aide asked the patient to remove everything except
the hospital gown.
She turned to me and said, '' The worst part
is my throat; it's so dry. Nurse, can I have something to drink or to wet my lips?"
"No, you'll be finished in just a few minutes
and then you can have something.''
"I'm just going to gorge myself when I leave.
I'm so thirsty and hungry."

"You don't want to do that
and make yourself sick."
"You don't want to do that and make yourself
sick.' '
Dr. Hara came into the room. He was clad in
green hospital clothing and his hair was covered
with a green cap.
The doctor glanced at me, nodded at the aide,
washed his hands and inserted them in the sterile,
rubber gloves which the aide held in front of
him.
He turned to the patient, "Would you put your
heels in the stirrups, please, and your knees out
and slide down to the edge o the table."
Laminaria and suction is a common method used
to abort fetuses within twelve weeks of conception.
Lovejoy, which uses this method, begins treating
patients at 7 a.m. and finishes between 3 and 4
p.m. each day.
Each woman first has two laminaria placed in
her cervix; this takes 10 to 15 minutes. The implants are left in the cervix until late afternoon
and are then removed. Suction is used to remove the
fetus. This takes an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
Laminaria are a type of seaweed that absorb moist.ure
and expands. While expanding, it dilates
the cervix. This then permits the suction tube to
be inserted without danger of infection. Because
laminaria absorb moisture slowly, implantation is
done in the morning and removal in the afternoon.
The patients spend the day at the hospital- waiting.
They are up and around and seem to experience
no pain. They talk, they smoke, and they drink
lots of juices. In the afternoon, between three
and four, the laminaria and the fetus are removed and
the abortions are complete. An hour later, the girls
dress and leave the hospital.
At Lovejoy, the women are asked to come in
the day before they are to receive their abortions, so
that the hospital can give counseling service. At
this time, the procedure is explained to the patients,
birth control is discussed. The staff tries to be certain that the women have no doubts about their forthcoming abortion. Thirty per cent of the patients
decide at this point not to get abortions. The
counselors at Lovejoy help these women find other
sources of help, such as adoption agencies, and doctors.
Mozorosky explained that the abortion process is
safe and the use of laminaria reduces the risk of
infection. As long as the patient does not have intercourse for 48 hours, there is virtually no chance of
infection, Mozorosky said.
Mozorosky thinks that in three years abortions will
be a "thing of the past." other methods will replace abortions, such as the "morning-after-pill,"
according to him.
The Jan.22 Supreme Court decision makes it
possible for many more clinics such as Lovejoy to
be established. Due to the decision, it is no longer
necessary for Oregon women to comply with the
previous state imposed restriction which required
performance of abortions in hospitals only.
It is now possible for an abortion clinic to be
established in the Eugene-Springfield area. At this
time there are none. A woman from the area has
to go either to Portland or Seattle. If she has an
abortion done in a local hospital, it would cost her

An LCC student recently received an abortion
at Lovejoy. She could not afford the $400 it would
have cost to have it done locally.
Linda Gunhouse, Lane County Welfare case
worker, sent approximately 175 women to Lovejoy
in 1972.
Prior to the Supreme Court ruling, an Oregon
woman had to have an abortion done in a hospital,
and if married, she had to have her husband's permission, or if under 21, she had to have herparent's
signature given by the parent at the hospital. These
restrictions have been done away with by the Supreme Court decision.
Looking at the instruments which appeared to be

the vagina open was put in place.

"Yes, I'm fine."
"Good. Now, if you just hold still, we are going

the patient.

Somehow through all of the haze, I found the

Ms. Ward came to my side. While helping me out

" Yes, I think I'll just go sit down."
The hall was not stationery as one might rightfully expect a hall to be. But then my body wasn't
behaving normally either-I was drenched with a
cold sweat, my eyes weren't focusing, and my ears
were ringing.
I sat down on the floor across from two chairs
that were occupied. The coolness of the wall against
my back felt good. Though my head was still whirling,

During the time I was sitting on the floor, an
attractive woman of about 40 came from one of the
rooms. She was obviously a woman of some afluence;
her clothing was stylish, her hair looked as if had
just been professionaly coiffured.
The younger woman across from me began a
conversation with the future mother-in-law. The
older woman was appalled to consider the amount
of money that a doctor could make in a day, performing abortions.
The girl asked, "Wouldn't you like to make that
kind of money?"
"Personally, I couldn't bring myself to do it,"
was the reply that was given.
Had I not been so dizzy, I would have asked her
why she helped her son's fiancee have an abortion, if
she is opposed to them.
I fully believe in a woman's right to have an
abortion if she wants one. And I fully believe that
every child has the right to be born to parents that
want the child. So, why, earlier in the day, had I
been upset to see a young woman expressing obvious
joy and relief because she was no longer pregnant?
Perhaps I still have a few Victorian morals;_
perhaps I'm not as free as I like to picture myself.
I don't know.

Local minis ter shoplifts for consu mer rights
by Dave Glassow

''The consumer is going to get
the protection that ht. needs and
has a right to expect," said Rev.
James Coppedge, minister of the
Asbury United Methodist Church of
Eugene.
Coppedge was in the news
recently for shoplifting at a local
Pay Less drug-store.
He was arrested last July for
taking seven items valued at $9.23.
He was later convicted of shoplifting and second degree theft,
and was fined $32.

Singles rights ...
(Continued from page 7)
who choose to remain single.
Oregon law defines a male and
female as being married when they
have applied for jointly and received a marriage license, then
had that document witnessed by a
person legally authorized to do so,
such as a minister, judge or justice of the peace.
Taxes are the most obvious example of the government's subsidization of marriage. A perusal
of the convenient tax tables distributed by the government, both
Oregon State, and federal will reveal that the single person pays
more in taxes than the married
person. For instance, the single
taxpayer who earns $5,000 will pay
$167 more in federal taxes than the
married taxpayer with an equal income.
The reasoning here is that the
married person is either using
one income to support two pe9ple
or that each partner in the marriage is serving as an individual
wage-earner and the partners are
receiving their exemptions collectively.
The government's reasoning
goes further to suppose that the
single taxpayer is only deserving
of a single deduction since that person only has him or herself to
support. However, the single taxpayer who lives with a partner
without the approval of the state~
gets no additional tax relief. Even if the single taxpayer gets an
extra deduction (through blindness
or being over age 65) his or her
taxes will still be higher than
those of some married and filing
jointly ($26 on an income of $5,000
annually).
That such tax inequities amount
to nothing less than an unfair subsidization of legal marriage by the
government has been recognized by
Senator Robert Packwood of Ore-

gon. He has announced that he is
now sponsoring a bill in Congress
that would equalize the tax burden on single and married taxpayers.
There is also disparity in the
distribution of government funds to
single and married citizens, The
GI Bill is an example of such
an inequity, The single veteran can
receive $220 per month, though the
GI Bill, while attending school
full time. The married veteran,
on the other hand, can receive $261
per month under the same program, One can only conclude that
the simple fact of marriage somehow increases the value of aveteran's past service to his or her
country.
There is a brighter side for sing~e people. Senator Packwood's bill,
1f passed, would bring equity into
the income tax situation. Single
people could no longer be denied
food stamps because they choose
to live with others, since a 1972
Federal Court ruled that such denials of food stamps benefits were
an infringement on the constitu~
tional right of freedom of association,
There are no laws in Oregon
which prohibit adults from living
with whomever they please, or requiring them to seek the official
approval of the State. Furthermore, the children of such nonapproved partnerships are protected, since Oregon .(as of a
1971 study by Editorial Reports)
is one of two states which has
laws protecting the rights of socalled illegitimate children.
Article One, Section 20 of the
Oregon Constitution states, "No
law shall be passed granting to
any citizen or class of citizens,
privileges, or immunities, which,
upon the same terms shall not
equally belong to all citizen."
Single people are citizens t.90.

The 18, 19, and 20-year-olds cannot sign a binding contract or hold
and dispose of property. They can't
represent themselves in divorce or
will proceedings, sit on a grand
jury or court jury, run for elected office, or be appointed to state
agencies.
They can't marry or travel
without parental consent, purchase
liquor, attend certain movies or
read certain books.
Yet they can be d_rafted, taxed,
and be sent to adult prison.
Laws across the country which
govern this age group not only differ from the laws which govern
the •age group of citizens 21 and
over, but each state shows strange
discrepancies.
In Oregon, for example, females
can be married at 18 without parental consent. Males must be 21 in
order to marry without consent.
In Maine, North Carolina, and a
number of states, marriage is legal without parental consent if
the two are over the age of 16.
However, until the couple reaches the age of 21, they can't enter into a contract for a car, house,
or even a wash machine without
parental consent.
In Idaho, both the male and female may marry at 15 but neither
can purchase alcoholic beverages
until 21 (except beer, which can
be purchased at 20). Neither may
make a will until 18. At the age
of 18, the female is permitted to
sign a contract, but the male must
wait until he is 21.
other laws across the nation
show variations between the rights
of 18-21 year olds to that of over
21. At 19, a male can be drafted,

ple whose job is to catch shoplifters."
Brad Clem et arrested Coppedge.
He is a student at the University of Oregon and a full-time
employee of the Pay Less security force.
Clemt1t said '' I don't believe
that he (Coppedge) did it for the
reasons that he says he did. I
think he's had six months to think
up a story, and has thought one
up that has brought quite a bit
of attention to it.''
Clemet went on to say "If you're
a minister .and you 1 re arrested for
a crime. I tmagine that it would be
publicized and you would want to
throw up as much flak as you possibly could to show some kind of
justification." Cle met also felt that
the minister's story had been inconsistant and that Coppedge didn't
mention any of his purposes for
shoplifting at the time he was arrested.
Clemet said that Coppedge took
two combination· squares, two
plumb lines, two paper clips, and
a pair of pliers.

Symbolic reason behind
each item taken
Coppedge said the purpose was

to show a symbolic reason behind
each item taken.
The squares were to symbolize
that both the consumer and businessman should be square with
each other, the plumb lines to
symbolize that each should measure up to his responsibilities.
The paper clips were to symbolize that the record of crimes
should be made public whether
they are the consum:ff 1 s or the
businessman's. The pair of !)liers
were to show the pinch that the
law should put on both criminals
of business and on the comsumers.
When asked if he thought that
the Pay Less incident was a success, and achieved his objectives
Coppedge said that he has received many letters and phone
calls from people who support his
views, and persons seeking information about consumer problems.
People have shown a lot of
interest in what Coppedge is doing,
and if that is what he has set out
to do at least he's achieved that
much.
Coppedge says he doesn't intend to do anymore shoplifting but

Humane Society -last stop for surplus animals

Commentary by Lalana Rhine
In a pamphlet given out by the
Lane Humane Society, there's a
picture • of a cat lying down with
its back paws tucked underneath
its body and its head buried between its front paws. Underneath
the picture the caption reads:
'' I ask for the privilege of not
being born. . .not to be born
until you can assure me of a
home and a master to protect
me, and a right to live as long
as I am physically able to enjoy life. . .not to be born until my body is precious and men
have ceased to exploit it because it is cheap and plentiful."
Whether this is a prayer or

Walking down the aisles of fenced cages filled with dogs and
cats, their tails tucked between
their legs, shivering, howling, and
dirty, their sad eyes looking at
you, begging you to take them
home, you begin to wonder why so
many are left helpless and homeless.
The excuses are endless.
The woman who lives next door
has two children- a boy and a
girl--both of whom have pets. The
boy has a female .dog and the
girl a female cat. Both pets were

This is the popular misconception of the patrons of the adult

very few gags, but they spend
their money on the visually oriente d merchandise; magazines, with
pictures in color or black and

The movies come in two types,

could see the puppy barking, his
eyes begging to be let out. The
pressure gauge was lowered to
27 pounds of pressure.
Within a few minutes, I could
no longer hear or see the pup. It
had blacked out and fallen down.
For eight more minutes it would

I walked back to the other cages with the man to pick out the

'Bo th sid es wer e wro ng'
. John Loeber feels there are three primary things every human
bemgr must concern himseif with. Food, shelter, and medical care.
At LCC Loeber is doing his part to provide students with the latter
as student coordinator of LCC 1 s Health Services Center.
'' I got started in it about November of last year when I became
a member of_ the Student Senate. It was just after some board members
nd t~e president of the college had been in the clinic building with a
question and answer period concerning health services." Loeb•)r noticed
lot of "rhetoric'' concerning the concept of health services on the
part of administrato rs and students.
''Students were asking 'Why don't we have a hospital here?' Administrators were saying that it was impossible to do anything at alL
It struck me that both sido?s w.<:!re wrong," said Loeber.
As it turned out, Loeber was right. What was considered impossible
by administrato rs and by health service directors in other colleges
has now been done at LCC, and with 30 per cent more success than
was anticipated. LCC now has a Health Services clinic which handles
10,000 client visits a year. Services the clinic encompasses have increased. Where last year the Center was limited to consultation and
referral this year it entails emergency care and LCC's clinic is the
first in the country to offer such a large scope of services.
The reason LCC has such a successful clinic is, according to
Loeber, the involvement of hard-working students.
''As students just startin~ our educational endeavors we have
not yet learned that it is impossible to do some of the things we are
doing," declared Loeber. "Where a professional administrato r can
say 'You can't do that, it is impossible, I as an ignorant student
don't know it is impossible, I just do it."
Loeber cited ''the team concept,'' under which the students work,
as being a chief cause of success. "W,7! have a horizontal division of
authority where everyone has equal input. A student isn't put down
just because he is a student and doesn't have a degree. It is realized
that he can have just as much impact in the situation:,,
Because students involved with the Center are listened to when they
submit ideas, they "mi ke sure that what they say is valid," said
Loeber. He criticized some committees and other groups on campus for
not listening to students. Instead of half-heartedl y accepting student
opinion, stated Loeber, the . administratio n should actively seek it.
When a student comes to the Health Services clinic with an idea
he is put to work researching the idea and discussing it with others
of more experience. In this way students "get a hell of an education"
stated Loeber.
Even patients at the clinic get an education. "We're not just treating somebody for a condition and sending them away. We explain to
them why they became ill and how not to get ill again. Every student

·_ ·:·-r : '.~~ /~: .•• -;
~,

who comes in as a patient gets at least five minutes worth of health
education."
Loeber described the clinic's responsibility as being to make sure
that no student is deprived of educational opportunity because of illness.
Health and education go hand in hand claims Loeber. He finds an example of ·this in the 5,000 students who miss· school every day because
of venereal diseases.
Loeber feels that in L_CC's clinic as in anything involving people
success is determined by the amount of interest you have in the people
you are serving. Loeber himself became interested in this type of
work by taking a sincere interest in people.
''Like the people down in Florence, the fishing community there-half of them are on welfare. They're people who have been busting
their ass their whole life just trying to get somewhere. Then they have
to retire and they find out that their social security ain't gonna buy
them nothing and their property
taxes went up, and there's no place
to go when they're sick, or lonely,
or hungry." Loeber is no longer
looking to the government to fill
the needs of people. "It's a matter
of people _
taking care of people,"
he declared.
Loeber has been a student at
LCC for two years now. "'For
the first four terms I was here
I studied electrical engineering
and then I had to drop that because I didn't have enough time
to do that program and the work
• in the clinic too." Loeber puts
in 6 to 8 hours a day in things
related to the clinic. '' I haven't
had a vacation for a year and
a half," he added.
He is taking liberal arts classes,
' . but has no set career objective.
Presently, you will find him always busy with the clinic. His long
list of duties includes continuous
evaluation of clinic operations con-~~. cerning salaries, personnel, e~tt... quipment for further programs,
; , budget evaluation, and budget projections.

Senate spent about $1,200 for the
convention. Although $1,000 had originally been budgeted for the convention the Senate two weeks ago
put an $800 ceiling on the convention expenditures. Vinyard explained the additional $400 was
needed because the group stayed
in Anaheim one day longer than
planned and because food prices
were higher than anticipated.
.
AACJC is comprised of two year
colleges across the nation that
have joined together to achieve
strength in bargaining power. AACJC meets yearly to discuss problems that are common to its members andtopartic ipateinworkshops with the intent to solve their
problems.
At the recent convention, in Anaheim, Calif., workshops ranged
from topics of servicemen and
veterans to the collective bargaining process between school
boards and instructors and how
it should operate.
The servicemen and veterans
workshop was concerned primarily
with cutbacks in the federal budget that withheld funding of the
newly originated campus veteran's
service office which was to receive
$1,000 for every veteran enrolled
at a college. (LCC's new veteran' s
office would have received around
$100,000 had the federal cut
back not occurred). These monies
would be budgeted in each school's
gene r a 1 fund-the school could
spend half the money as it wished if veterans programs were subsidized with the other half.
The workshop dealing with col1e ct i ve bargaining had a
panel of speakers from across the
country who explained the procedure of collective bargaining and
established an outline for schools
to follow if they have to move into
a position of collectively bargaining with school employees.
AACJC has an annual operating
budget of a little over one million dollars which it spends on
items such as administrative
costs, an information and research
center, the annual convention and
other projects. AACJC is financially strong and has a stable
membership of administrators and
school trustees from across the
country and cannot at this time be
considered student-oriented. Students have no voting privileges in
the organization.
But in past years there has been
a move by students to have more
student input to AACJC and have
that organization deal more with
student-related issues such as student services, financial aid to students, and tuition increases.
In fact this was the first year that

the id e a of a student-directed
workshop. Shannon said he would
accept proposals but failed to answer whether or not a student
workshop would be on the next
agenda.
At this year's convention the students present for med an ad hoc
board with regional coordinators
to disseminate information to other two year schools in hopes of
getting these schools to join in
the struggle in attempting to get
student admission to AACJC.
Attending the convention from
LCC were ASLCC president Jay
Bolton, ASLCC treasurer Bob Vinyard. Student Senator Abe Simmons
and LCC president Eldon Schafer.

Lane takes second

by Lex SahonchikWhen it came right down to the final game of
the season, the one where all the marbles were
at stake, it was that old foe Linn-Benton Community
College that ended the LCC basketball dreams of an
Oregon Community College Athletic Association
state championship.
For the fifth time this season the Ti.tans went
up against Linn-Benton, and for the fifth time they
came out on the short end of the score, this time
by a score of 107 to 77. It was basically a story
of the good big men beating the good little men,
a cardinal rule in basketball.
The big men for the Linn-Benton Roadrunners
were 6'10" Craig Martin, 6'6' Gary Michel and
6'4'' Glen Hubert. They matched up with 6'4"
Alex Iwaniw•, 6'2" Rod Cross, and 6'2" Jim Redman
of Lane Community College. Obviously the ,matchup was not exactly equal. As a result the Roadrunners ruled .the rebound boards with authority.
Lane was never able to crack that inside line with
much success.
The first half began with the Titans and the
Roadrunners trading baskets on some sharp outside
shooting. The big defensive threat of Craig Martin
inside the Titan key did not have much effect on
the Lane scoring machine. LCC came out in their
patented 1-2-2 collapsing zone defense that early
in the game prevented Linn-Benton from effectively
using their corner oriented offense, one that depends
heavily on the accurate outside shooting of guard
Jim Davidson, and the rebounding strength of Martin.
The score went to 15 to 15 after eight minutes
with Alex Iwaniw hitting medium range jump shots
over Martin who refused to come out of the key
to guard Alex. The Roadrunners got their strong
forward Gary Michel in foul trouble early, as Michel
picked up two quick fouls in four minutes. That
shooting of Iwaniw only lasted for a few baskets
before Martin began to sweep up all the missed
shots and fire out the quick· outlet pass to trigger
the Roadrunner fast break.
Defensively, , the Titans forced those long corner
shots of Davidson's to miss the target, but the ever
present Martin grabbed the misses and slammed them
back for scores. Unfortunately for LCC, Martin
set up camp in the key area waiting for the missed

•

OCCAA

shots. According to the rules, a player may only
stand in that area for three seconds. Craig Martin
got away with it all night.
With ten minutes left in the half the offensive ·
rebounding of the Roadrunners began to rack up
unanswered points and LBCC stretched a lead to
nine points.
Four minutes later LCC collapsed. Martin scored
at will under his own basket, rebounded the Titan
shots, and intimidated the inside shooting of Iwaniw
and Jim Redman. When the Lane defense collapsed
on the big men, the guards opened fire from the
outside. Rich Coston and Kim Dorsing gunned from
the corners and LCC was unable to answer with any
firepower of their own. With Lane Coach, Irv
Roth, substituting big men freely, Lane managed
to put on a spurt before the end of the half. The
first half score was 48 to 39 in favor of LinnBenton.
The Roadrunner front line of Martin, Hubert and
Michel accounted for 32 points in the first half
and they didn't stop there. All three came out in
the second half and ate up rebounds and scored
underneath and over the Titans. On Lane's side of
the scoreboard Marty Merrill kept on pumping
in long, arching jump shots· from 20-25 feet away.
Rod Cross came alive ahd started to fake the LBCC
defenders silly while shooting his elusive jumper.
It was to no avail, however, as Martin sat in
the key and his teammates either fed him or cast
off with their own shots. LCC got into foul trouble
with Greg Green picking up one foul and Rod Cross
two more, while LBCC exploded to a 78 to 59
lead with nine and a half minutes left. In the next
five minutes Lane went totally cold, missing freethrows, field goals, and passes, while Linn-Benton
•continued to score with the reserves off the bench.
Only Merrill and Cross could score much for
LCC as the Roadrunner lead grew. Cross provided
a final measure of excitement by hanging on the rim
after a quick techinical foul from Referee Millard
Bates. The final score was an embarrassing 107
to 77.
Aside from that diaster Lane was the surprise
of the tourney. They beat mighty Blue Mountain
in double overtime, won the Sportsmanship Award

plans to include a ski racing team
if enough interest is shown to
get the club off the ground. But
thus far only about eight students
have demonstrated any interest.
The team would race both for
enjoyment and also competition
against other college teams in the

Chris ford overcame a
handicap to win her award

by Lalana Rhine
Despite a handicap Chris Ford tried-out for the women's basket- ·
ball team at Lane Community College earlier this term, and ended
last week being named by her teammates as the most outstanding
player.
A sophomore at LCC and a starting center for the women's
basketball team, Ms. Ford came to Lane from Machebeuf High School
in Denver, Colorado.
According to Sue Thompson, coach of the women's basketball
team, factors considered by the other players for this honor were
skill, enthusiasm, sportmanship, encouraging of the team, getting along
with fellow teammates, and an overall uniqueness to the team.
"Chris is unique to the team in that if she wasn't there, the team
would be completely different," replied Thompson. "Chris is always
giving 100 per cent to the team."
And Ms. Ford is unique, as well, because she has overcome
the handicap of deafness.
Ms. Ford was considered better defensively than offensively by
Coach Thompson, and her season totals show it. Ms. Ford's total defensive rebounds numered 56, added to another 54 offensive rebounds.
She scored a total 52 points made for the season.
, Ms. Ford also had 11 interceptions in the 13 games played during
the season.
Perhaps because Ms. Ford is deaf, she is exceptionally alert and
able to pick up the calls fast. '' Chris picks up the calls by watching the
other players-when they stop, she stops," said Coach Thompson.
''Stie is that intense in the game-that aware-that when something
.
happens, she picks it right up."
Coach Thompson said that she usually told the referees that Chris
was deaf. But at times Thompson would forget, and Ms. Ford would
be totally on her own.
"Since I know the basketball rules well, I always check with the
referees whether it is one or two shots,' ' remarked Ms. Ford. "other
than that, it's the coach, the teammates, and the referees that make
it possible for me to play."
Ms. Ford believes there is no difference between playing with
a deaf team or a hearing team, except that the other players tend
to forget that she is deaf. '' It takes awhile for the hearing (players)
(Continued on page 11)

Lane baseball fortunes looking up
according to Coach Fred- Sackett
head baseball
Fred Sackett,
coach of the LCC Titans, predicts
his team will have a better record this year. "We have better
depth and better ball players,"
he explained.
Sackett made the prediction after
examining his pitching and catching
staff which began working-out last
week. He commented that, "Last
year we didn't have enough pitchers
to pitch non-league games. This
year the pitching should be stronger with more depth in the staff."
According to the coach his battery this year has grown to eight
pitchers and four catchers.
Although practice for the infield and outfield positions began

only yesterday he remarked that,
'' There should be more depth in
the infield over last year and they
should have better speed."
Four returning squad members
will help make up the bulk of the
team. Bruce Cook (pitcher) and
John Frederiksen (short stop), both
are returning starters. Tony Johnson (catcher) and John Roper (outfielder) are also returning team
members.
Last year the Titan squad had
an overall record of 7-14 with a
league record of 6-7. "We had
a record of 6-6," the coach commented, ''but we lost the playoff
game for the tourney. We were
tied with SWOCC for second and
lost 8-5."

8,~~~!! t[!~~;rs

Four teams participated last week in the Oregon
Community College Athletic Association Basketball
Tournament in Coos Bay. But that tournament could
have been limited to a two-team playoff game between Southwestern Oregon Community College and
Linn-Benton Community College. For Lane there was
absolutely no chance of gaining any kind of postseason regional playoff berth, · the two spots from
the OCCAA were already decided-One went to
Blue Mountain Community College and the other went
to the winner of the Linn-Benton-SWOCC game;
ultimately, Linn-Benton.

Tournament purpose questionable
That situation is a hypocritical one. It brings
to mind other such situations present in sports _
tournaments and championship hooplas. In the Atlantic Coast Conference the basketball champion
advances to the National Collegiate Athletic Association regionals.
That
champion is
derived from a reverse situation present in the OCCAA
playoffs-the winner
of the ACC tourney,
a playoff of four
teams, goes to the
regionals regardless
of it's regular season record.
Irv Roth
In the Big Ten Conference the football champion goes to the Rose
Bowl, but according to the old rule if you win backto-back championships you only go to the Rose
Bowl the first year. The second place team goes
the next year.
Despite the frustrating lack of regional playoff
possibilities Lane showed a lot of heart by coming
to the tournament ranked fourth and emerging as
the number two . community college team in the
state. Blue Mountain won the first playoff berth
despite Lane beating them two out of three times
during the season.
The eventual tournament champion was LinnBenton, a school that is evidently intent on building
a basketball dynasty of sorts in the OCCAA. For
Lane to match up and beat Linn-Benton the Titans
would had to have brought pogo sticks.
Craig
Martin is the Roadrunner's center and he stands
6'10" tall, Linn-Benton's forwards are about four
inches shorter than Martin, and they have former
All-District 5AAA Churchill High center Randy
Bishop, who stands 6'6'' and sits on the bench.
Basketball players are generally thought of as
being quick, agile, hustling, well-coordinated , and
quick-thinking athletes. Evidently LBCC's Craig

By

Martin is one of those few exceptions. He seldom
finds the energy to go out more than five feet
away from the basket to play defense, and seldom
finds enough energy to show the hustle and enthusiasam found in collegiate basketball.
As LCC Coach Irv Roth puts it: ''Well, Martin
doesn't impress me too much. He doesn't play a
very good defensive game. He's just so darn big,
there's no way you can stop a 6'10" player with a
couple of 6'4'' 's.''

The Coos Bay crowd seemed to get it's fill
of OCCAA basketball when their hometown Southwestern Oregon Lakers were beaten by LinnBenton the previous night. The "Pirate Palace''
was so empty it made the few spectators lonely.
In fact, only about 150 to 200 people were on hand
for the awards ceremony following the championship game. It might be wise to consider a permanent
relocation of the tourney.
For the few Lane Community College fans who
showed_ up to root for their team in the final game,

Roth ends coaching career
it just wasn't a pretty game to watch. No doubt it
wasn't what Coach Roth had in mind either. It
W,!S Roth's last game,
- Irv has stepped down from the head coaching
position to pursue other interests and to continue
as an LCC instructor, It has been something that
Roth has wanted to do but has been unable to because there were no other availabl'e coaches. The
new basketball coach is not likely to come from
the present LCC staff, according to Roth: "I think
they'll probably go outside (Lane)."
Irv says he's tired of coaching basketball and
wants to devote his time to other projects. Looking
at his record one can see why--b.e's been a coach
for quite a while.
That coaching career started in 1955rwhen he
went to Springfield High School and became the assistant football coach. In 1960 Roth moved to Thurston
High where he was head basketball coach and baseball coach.
Irv Roth began his LCC coaching career in
1967. He was assistant basketball coach for two
years, head baseball coach for a year and then
moved to the head coach's job where he has
served for three years.
It isn't the easiest thing to coach at Lane,
you don't have thousands of dollars worth of scholarships to play with, and you can't lure away top
prep prospects with a handfull of cash.
Nevertheless Lane Community College is perenially in the tournament and always plays good
ball. Coach Roth hasn't done too badly here.

Rod Cross brought the ball down
court, passed the ball to Green
who tried a jump shot. The shot
missed, but Green got the rebound, went back up, and was immediatley slaughtered by three
players from Blue Mountain. His
rebound went in, giving Lane one
slight chance to get back into the
game.
No time remained. But Green
had one chance to tie the game and
send it into a second overtime.
The score was BMCC 93 Lane
92. The crowd was in an uproar
and the referees were trying to
let everyone know that the man
with five fouls actually only had
two.
Finally the situation was cleared
up and Green went to the line.
The whole game rode on that shot.
Green made it look as if he were
in practice as he made the shot.
Everyone who had been in the
process of leaving the gym decided to stay and see if there might

Blue Montain controlled the tip
to open the second overtime and
then went into a controlled offense,
looking for the good shot.
They waited too long. . . with

Wednesday night at Marshfield
High School, Lane depended on the
scoring of Rod Cross and the lastsecond heroics of Greg Green
to defeat Blue M::mntain Com:nunity
College 99 to 93 in double overtime.
The first half of play gave everyone watching an indication of the
close contest in store.
Blue Mountain opened the game
·with a pressing zone defense, and
LCC countered with a man-to-man,
hoping to neutralize Blue Mountain's height advantage with superior quickness. Both defenses
worked as both teams were guilty
of numerous turnovers.
Rod Cross did everything he
could to open the zone. The freshman guard scored 18 points in the
first half on a variety of hook
shots and jumpers. During one
stretch Cross connected on five
shots in a row.
Cross· points, combined with repeated turnovers and poor shooting
by Blue Mountain, allowe<! Lane
to stay in the game. At the half
Blue Mountain led 42 to 39.
Blue Montain spent the last five
minutes of the first half going to
the foul line as Lane finished the
half with 11 fouls to Blue Mountain's
five.
The second half opened with a
running contest. Lane was losing
the contest when Alex Iwaniw picked up his fourth foul with 2:36
gone in the half.
Then Blue Montain moved out
to a 12 point lead, 62 to 50, when
the roof fell in.
With 14 minutes to go in the game
Blue Mountain led by 12. Eight
minutes later they trailed by five.
During that eight minute stretch
Lane outscored Blue Mountain 25
to eight mostly due to bad passes
by BMCC and good defense by
Lane.
Blue Mountain came back with a
strong zone defense, fine outside
shooting. Lane had relaxed its play.
LCC had two chances to put
the game out of reach in the last
minute: Leading 88 to 86, Marty

for a one and one but he missed
the first shot; Alex Iwaniw was then

Credit oractices in Oregon

superb performance

said biased against women

by Robin Burns

Major Oregon banks, department stores and loan companies
are charged with discrimination ar,-ainst women in loan and credit
practices in an OSPIRG (Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group) report released last week. But many of the major charges
have been denied by those firms charged, according to a Eugene
Register-Guard investigation.
The report, entitled "No Credit for Wom~n," presents a need
and calls for new legislation to prohibit credit discrimination on sex
or marital status and to allow consumers to bring creditorf:. to court
on such charge~. The report notes that even the Equal Rights Amendment will leave private individuals or corporations unaffected.
The report accuses Penney's and Meier & Frank, two department
stores with branches in the Eugene-Springfield area, of regularly

of the 20th century nuance~ highlighting the Ne\\ Shake5peare Company's performance of "A<:, You

Andrew Callahan and JockScowcroft, created the most compelling
characters of the play, as Touchstone anctJacques. Touchstone the

during his completely enjoyable
peformance
The wholr production, d1rertect
by Margrit Rom.1, was slig-htly
unorthodox as Shakespearr gof'f:.
One of the shepherds was played
as J.n old man, dressed as a prospector, anrl spoke with a southern
drawl. The Black players lent a
touch of American Black culture
with such things as hand slaps,
slight soul accents, and a verse
of "Bringing in the Sheaves."
The costumes were traditionally
Elizabethan,
the dialogue wa·s
spoken mostly with English accents, but I found the untraditional
additions gave the play an extra
vitality and warmth. Small gestures and chance expressions made
it seem as if the players were
thoroughly enjoying themselves,
helping to create an atmosphere
of enjoyment among the audience.
