Senate votes
to exhaust

activities fund
The ASLCC Senat e decided at
last week's meeti ng to exhaust the
total amount of funds allotted for
student activities for the upcoming
spring program.
Steve Leppanen, Senator-atLargeand chairman of the " Spring
Arts '72 '' event requested the Senate to set aside $2,000 to be used
as needed in putting on the affair.
It was pointed out by Second Vice
President Kenny Walker that this
amount would exhaust the monies
budgeted for the rest of the term
which were to be used for all other
student sponsored events. However , the motion was passed.
Jay Bolton announced his selection of the four delegates that would
r epresent LCC at the OCCSA convention, held Thursday through
Sunday, at the Spanish Head resort
on the coast. Another decision was
made after discussion of the delegate make-up: Although only five
delegates from LCC were to have
voting rights, a motion was passed
to extend the number of delegates
to eighL Russel Oom3 Barry Gower, Ellie Lemke and Kenny Walker
(who nominated himself) _were
added to the list of del egates, which
already included ASLCC President
.Jay Bolton, Publicity Director
Barry Hood, OCCSA Coordinator
Doug Cudahey and ASLCC Secretary Della Neimoyer.
Walker had made a motion to
select at least two minority delegates, one each from the Black
Student Union and the ChicanoStudent Union, but the motion died for

Paraprofe ssional's
rights questione d
by Kath ie Durb in

A controversy involving the rights of paraprofessionals at LCC surfaced recently when an Instructor's Aide appealed to keep her job after
an attempt was made to dismiss her.
The controversy involves whether Instructor's Aide positions should
be looked on primarily as learning experiences, subject to evaluation
by the department, or whether they should be viewed primarily as jobs,
having the same protections as other staff positions.
Presently there is no written policy covering employment procedures for paraprofessionals, but when Math Instructor's Aide, Anne
Christensen, made a successful appeal to keep her job, recently, she
may have been the first to force a c.,hange in this situation, according to
Howard Zink, chairman of the Mathematics Department.
Shortly before the end of Winter Term, Ms. Christensen was informed by Zink that she would not be rehired for Spring Term to work
with Instructor Glenn Cook's Occupational Math students. According to
Ms. Christensen, this was the first notice she had received of her impending dismissal. She said she had not been informed that her job
effectiveness as an aide was in question.
Ms. Christensen said she objected to the short notice she was given,
since the next week was finals week for her at the U of 0, and since she
had no opportunity to seek another job before Spring Term.
Zink told the TORCH he does not see the matter as an employeremployee dispute. He said Ms. Christensen is '' one of the most gifted
and able math students" LCC has ever had, but it became apparent to
him, to Cook, and to Ms. Christensen that she was not suited to tutor
Occupational Math students.
During the 1971-72 academic year, Cook said, it became apparent
that her performance as an Aide was less than it should be.

She said her immedi ate reaction to the dismissal was that her plans

BRING is sponsoring a Cycle-A-Thon in celebration of Earth Day,
Saturday to r aise funds for their recycling activities.
Begin Recycling in Natural Groups (BRING) is a non-profit Lane
County organization devoted to recycling and to activities which are environmentally beneficial.
Saturday, participants in the Cycle-A-Thon will bicyc le a marked
route from Alton Baker Park to Harrisburg and back again to raise
monf>y for BRING. Eugene Mayor Les Anderson and County Commissioner Nancy Hayward will lead the procession fr om the par k at 9 a.m.
Each cyclist will enlist the aid of a sponsor, who will pay the ridP.r
for ea ch mile pedaled. According to Peter Thurston of BRING , the onl y
qualification for a sponsor is the desire to donate a certain amount for
each mile, ~he amount can vary from one penny to a dollar or mor e,
Thurston said. He hoped, though, for an aver age of 10~ per mile per
cyclisL
The bicycle rout e is 42 mil es long, according· to Thur ston, and will
have check points and be marked with gr een tags. National Guar d and
BRING trucks will foll ow the rout e to pick up weary cyc lists and help
out with bicycle break-downs. Cyclists cto not have to travel the entire
42 miles. but should keep track of their mileage.
Anyone wishing to participate should l>e at Alton Baker Park at 9
a.m. Saturday and bring a lunch. No pre-registration is necessary. Information sheets will be available at all local bicycle shops.
Tile bicyclists will have the responsibility of collecting the money
from the sponsors and leaving it with BRING. (The address is P.O. Box
885, Eugene, 97401.)
The Cycle-A-Thon is similar to other fund raising events such as
the Walk-for-Development, in which the participants collect money for
each mile covered and donate the total to a cause. A BRING spokesman
voiced hopes of making the Cycle-A-Thon an annual event.
BRING has several other projects scheduled in connection with
Earth Day. including the normal schedule for the BRINGmobile and a
party Sunday. The events include:
e National Guard trucks will collect recyclable goods at North
Eugene High and Edgewood El ementary School from 10 to noon· and at
Oakri dge and Springfield High from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and at Monroe
and Jefferson Junior High Schools from 2 to 4 p.m. Also, from noon to
3 p.m. the BRINGmobile will receive recyclable goods at the Day Island
land fill .
e From 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday the trucks will be at 13th St. on the U of
0 campus and Churchill High School.

to marr y LCC Social Science Instructor Rod Metzger had led Zink t;
infer that she would not be re turning next fall, and was being fi r ed so
her repl acement could be t rained during Spring Term , when enrollment
is cons i derabl y lighter in the Mathematics Department. Instr uctor's
Ai des ar e not employed during Summer Sessi on.
At thi s point Ms . Chr istensen contacted Steve John, Staff Associa tion pr es ident, who appealed the decision on her di smissal to Associate
Dean of Inst r ucti on Jim Piercey. Piercey; after hearing both sides in the
matter, decided Ms. Christensen should be retained because there were
"obvious discrepancies in the procedures used to terminate her services," according to the memo he sent Zink.
Cook and Zink both expl ained that the Math Instructor's Aide program was set up to provide a paid work experience for students who
plan careers in teaching math. They said that su ch students first enroll
in math courses at LCC, then do voluntary tutoring, and are eventually
" rotated" into positions as paid Instructor ' s Aides.
Ms. Christensen completed calculus at LCC, and at the urging of
Math Instructor Vern Schwin, became a voluntary tutor. She became a
paid Instructor' s Aide during Fall Term 1971.
Cook explained that if a student wished to pursue the program, he/
she could progress to a position as math assistant while attending the
U of 0, and finally became an instructor upon graduation.
According to Zink, there are only a limited number of Instructor
Aide positions available and there is a waiting list. Ms. Christensen
had been an aide for five terms i much longer than most aides, The job
was never intended to be a permanent one, Zink said, but only an opportunity to give the student " the feel of teaching math. "
Cook explai.ned that he discussed with Ms. Christensen her lack of
effectiveness with Cook ' s Occupational Math students. But when he suggested at the end of Winter Term, that she devote her time exclusively to
working with more advanced students in the Math Lab (where she was
then working about five hours out of 20 a week), she responded by refusing to be dismissed as Cook's Aide.
Even though still an Aide she said she has abandoned her plans for
a math teaching career and now plans to become a medical technologist.
Cook said she was notified that she would not be hired for the 1972-73
year, but she said she wanted t,o have "one more try," and he agreed.
•
Cook said he fears Ms. Christensen' s action, in viewing the situation
as an employer-employee matter, may succeed in bringing the Math Department's paraprofessional program to an end, and with it the whole

The ASLCC Senate has done it again.
They voted to send several delegates to another convention without
any discussion about the qualifications of the proposed delegates,
and, as has happened almost everytime in the past, all delegates were
student body officers.
At last week's Senate meeting the Senate voted to expend $999
to send eight delegates to the Oregon Community College Student
Association (OCCSA) Convention at Spanish Head in Lincoln City.
Jay Bolton, AS.-LCC president, was allowed, because of his position,
to select four delegates (he appointed himself as one of the four)
and the other four were selected by the Senat~hey simply threw-out
namt~s and gave approval to them,
OCCSA is a good organization. LCC can benefit by attending the

Dear Editor:
There 'are 165 courageous people
at the Dow Chemical plant in Bay
City (Michigan) which has been on
strike for 14 months. They would
like to enlist the aid of your newspaper and members of the student
body so that we may survive,
Dow Chemical is using its unlimited resources in an attempt to
destroy us economically and eliminate the collective bargaining process of our Local Union which is
14055 of the United Steelworkers.
Many workers and their families
have suffered unlimited hardships
in the loss of income and personal
property which they have had to
sell in order to feed their families
because Dow Chemical refuses to
resolve an unjust labor dispute
provoked by Dow Chemical and its
local management.
In the interest of humanity we
ask that you print this letter in
your college paper and that the
student body aid us by refusing
to buy Randi-wrap plastic food
wrap and Ziploc bags which are
made at the Bay City plant.
If there are individuals or groups
on campus who would like to aid
us in this humane endeavor, please
contact me at the address which

are pouring into President
Nixon over singer Frank
Sinatra's invitation to perform at the White House. The
protests are coming largely
from Middle America, which
the President considers Nixon country. Apparently, a lot
of conservative Republicans
don't belleve Sinatra is the
sort who ought to be hobnobbing with the President.

They renwmber him as the
leader of the Hollywood Rat
Pack, who were notorious for
their night clubbing, gambling and womanizing. This
isn't the life style of Middle
/\merica. They are also disturbed over reports of
Sinatra's friendship with
Mafia mobsters ..John Kenn·edy, for l·xample, quietly disassoc i at c d himself from
Sinatra after reading a
.Just ice De1wrt ment dossier
on the singer's racketeer
frit~nds.
The protests put President
Nixon on the spot. He owes
Sinatra a political debt for
persuading Sammy Davis,
.Jr., to campaign for him last
year. This helped to dispel
the talk that Nixon was
against the Blacks. In grat ilud<\ the President scheduled a Sinatra gala al the
White House . He has had
some second thoughts,
however. since he start~d
hearing from Middle
America. Our White House
sources say he won't cancel
the Sinai ra special but will
try to play it clown.
Vic(• President Agnew has
also been damaged with his

isn 't likely to let politic'.-i dietale who his friends will he.
He has found the controver·
sial <.;rooner to be a warm.

Agnew, therefore. accepts

during his rise frnm the

his earl.v days as a nightclub

Can Thieu Hold On? •
T he .Joint Chief' :--. have
quietly revised their estimate
of President Thi<~u's chances

During the final negotiations
over a cease-fire. the ,Joint

ultimately would take over
all Vietnam.

The man who hated everybody
Scene: The Pearly Gateso St. Peter is waiting
to greet Mr. Henry B. Middlerode, a man of 70,
who is trudging nervously up The Golden Stairso'
St, Peter: Welcome, Mr. Middlerode. You are
applying for admission?
Middlerode (fidgeting): Yes. I. o .I suppose
you '11 have a lot of questions to ask me?
St. Peter: Just one; Mr. Middlerode. Tell mei
did you love everybody?
Middlerode (crestfallen): I was afraid you'd
ask me that. Well, I'll be going ...
St. Peter: A moment, please. Now, who were
the first people you hated?
Middlerode (frowning): The Germans, I guess.
I was just a boy in World War I and they taught
me to hate the dirty, baby-killing Huns. But I
loved our gallant French, Italian and Russian allies.
St. Peter: And you've always hated the Germans?
Middlerode: Oh, no. I felt sorry for them in
the Twenties. And then after World War II, when
I learned to hate the fiendish Boche again, I came
to love and admire the good, industrious German
people who stood between us and the power-mad
Russians who ...
St. Peter: I thought you loved the Russians . o .
Middlerode: Not during the Twenties or after
1946. That's when thos9 dirty Commie rats were
planning to invade America and destroy my way
of life. Of -course, during World War II, I couldn't
help but love our staunch Russian allies who were
helping us lick the dirty Boche, the devious Italians
and the bloodthirsty Japs.
St Peter: The Japanese? Did you hate them
long?
Middlerode: Only from 1941 to 1946 when they
were fiends in human form committing unspeakable
atrocities on our beloved Chinese brothers. But
after that I came to love them for their gentleness,
politeness, inventiveness and dedication to the work

ethic.
St. Peter: The Chinese?
Middlerode: No, not then. That's when I learned
to hate the Chinese for being mindless, ant-like
slaves bent on conquering the world in human
wave attacks as they tried to do to the Koreans,
whom I loved. I mean the South Koreans whom
I loved and not the North Koreans whom I hated.
I generally hated Northerners as in Vietnam .• o
St. Peter: Not so fast. I'm trying to take notes.
Let's see, "staunch Russian fiends," "lovable
dirty Boche, " ''kindly bloodthirsty Japs, " " beloved
Chinese ants .•. ''
Middlerode: It is a little confusing. But I think
if you'd given me another year, I would've come
to love the North Vietnamese I hated, because I
was coming to hate the South Vietnamese I loved
and ...
St. Peter : Enough ! Let's just say in the end
you hated the Russians and Chinese and loved the
Germans and Japanese.
Middlerode: Oh, just the contrary. For the past
year now I've been learning to love the peaceful,
industrious Chinese and our businesslike Russian
trading partners while hating the avaricious Germans
and Japanese for destroying our dollar and. . •
St. Peter (opening the gate): Enter, Mr. Middlerode.
Middlerode (surprised): Me ? But. ..
St. Peter: You have loved everybody, Mr. Middlerode, at one time or another.

manipulations of your leaders, Mr. Middlerode,
that's the best we can hope for these days.

' Perry urge$ staff support of HB 2263
. by Bob

Nagler

State Representative Larry Perry (D-Eugene) urged the LCC staff
and faculty Thursday to support
proposed legislation which would
give all public employees in the
state the right to collective bar-

county or municipal employees in
Oregon.
Of the 30 persons attending the
meeting, all of those commenting
on the bill expressed strong approval.
LCC Language Arts instructor
Mike Rose, an AFT organizer,
said the bill is ''fairly important
o
,
•
All the boards (of education)
now have absolute power," he
commented. '' If this bill passes,
they'd have to meet, talk, and negotiate with staff and faculty representatives.··
Perry is chairman of the Subcom 'llittee on Collective Bargaining which wrote the bill. He predicted there would be vocal opposition to the bill when it is brought
before the larger Committee on

Labor and Industrial Relations.
''I'd say there is about a 50-50
chance of the bill getting out of
committee in its present form,,.,
Perrv noted.
Two of the more controversial
points in the bill, he said, are the
provisions for strikes, and a requirement that collective bargaining for all public employees in the
state be mandatory.
Perry urged commumty college
employees to organfze more effective political organizations, so that
·' your voice w i 11 be heard in
Salem.''
Where employees have an interest in specific bills before the
state legislature, he suggested
more '•face-to-face contact with
legislators," and letter-writing
campaigns.

one economic characteristic in common with their college educated
sisters--their earnings are just about half that of their male counterparts.
" Earnings by Occupation and Education,'' a 1970 census report,
recently issued by the Bureau of Census shows:
•Workingwomen, 25-64, who completed four years of high school,
earned a median income of $5,067 in 1969, or 56 per cent of the amount
earned by men of equivalent age and education.
• Working women in the same age bracket with four years of
college earned 55 per cent of the median amount earned by college
educated men-- $7,238 as compared to $13,103,
• Female private household workers, who finished four years of
high school, earned about 37 per cent of the amount earned by similarly
educated male private household workers.

• Female "clerical and kindred workers'' earned 63 per cent of
the amount earned by men.
• Women computer specialists with four years of high school
earned $8,531, 75 per cent of the $11,42Z- earned by comparable men.
Women computer specialists with four years of college earned $11,159,
or 87 per cent of the $12,868 earned by college educated men computer
specialists.
• The earnings of white -women, 25-64 and with a high school

I feel I can help the ex-cons more than any of
the so-called experts. I've been there, through the whole
trip: The conditioning proccess inside the prison, w ere

people with a Ph.D.
Gary Wolf, a student on campus, is responsible
for a student organization that might very well be
the guiding light to some other students' actual future.
The name of that organization is Self Help Orientated
People (SHOP). Their function is to help convicts
make this adjustment to school and social life as
sm }oth as possible.
Gary came up with the idea of this type of organization out of a personal need. He was released from
prison under the Newgate program in the Fall of 1971.
But, he found the transition difficult, and consequently
escaped to Canada.
He was apprehended and returned to prison. Two
years were added to the eight years he had been serving
for armed robbery. He tells the rest of the story...
I came back to Eugene and they tried me for the
escape. That is when I started thinking we needed
something more than what we had, (Newgate, Work
Release, School Release), because what we had didn't
get it.
At this point I knew I had to get myself together
and that's when I began to get involved academically
within the institution (Oregon State Penitentiary)o
The idea of a self-help group came to my mind
and I started oorresponding outside, and finally eceived a financial commitment to attend Lane from

veteran's seminar

A student-initiated class at the
U of O this term deals with the
problems of veterans returning
from the Vietnam War.
Chris Sturm, a University sociology major and the current
chairman of the Lane County chapter of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), helped
organize the class, which will study
the p h e n o m e non known as the
"Post-Vie.tnam Syndrome."
Sturm said the syndrome is
complex, having broken aspects,
some or all of which may be relative to the individual veteran.
He said nine aspects have been
isolated by Dr. C. F. Shatan of
the Psychothearpy Training Program at New York University.
Post Vietnam Syndrome, Dr.
Shatan has stated, involves guilt
feelings, selfpunishment, and feel' ings of being a scapegoat. It also
involves identification with the a-

gressor I with no outlet for bitterness and hatred. Sometimes the
syndrome involves a dead-place
or "psychic numbing." It may involve alienation, doubts about one's
ability to Jove and trust other human beings again. And the syndrome, Sturm added~ is really a
distorted mourning arising out of
active discouragement of open
grief by the military, in a climate
of death. An . additional problem
Sturm added, is the need tc account
for the apparent absence of a
similar syndrome in World War II
veterans.
The class has room for 10 more
students, said Sturm. LCC students may enroll, as they would
in any University class. It meets
every Monday night from 7 to
IO p.m. in room 636 of Prince
Lucien Campbell Hall.
. Sociology Professor Ted Goertzel will assist the student-run
seminar.

The course costs $130 a month for a t
struction and practice. A professional tool 1

what is being offered. I ,suggested that some sort of
peer counseling might be of use. She in turn went
to .Dr. Ken Hills here at Lane and we started a class
ca1led Orientation to College. It's to combat the tremendous convict recidivism rate and make the transition to school a little easier.
For instance, a guy that had spent seven years
w2.s released and spent the first night in the release
center . The next .day, when he picked up his grant
money he split. They picked him up in Portland
three weeks later for armed robbery. This wouldn't
have happened if there had been a SHOP group in
existance, because we take convicts, get them through
registration, get their books and are just there.
No one knows how frightened a person can get after
he has spent seven years behind bars away from
society.
From the success of the class it became obvious
that a peer board and an office could be of tremendous
value. A place that the ex-con could come to and say
'Look, I have these problems (housing, personal problems, loans, school, etc.)' The people manning the
office would be on a peer level and understand the
problem.
I feel that if you can get these ex-cons helping
their brother it has to work. We helped the men and
women who came out of prison this last term. We
got them through registration procedure. we helped
them buy clothes, we took them around and socialized
a little bit. ln short we showed them some one cares.
I feel this last group will see the benefits of the program
and next term they will be involved with the next
group that gets out of prison and needs help in adjusting to the new life outside.
One way this type of peer group can be effective
is in teaching the others to play the 'game of society'
more successfully. You have to show the ex-con
how to make the right contacts. ''Hey, man, c~me see

ithing School part
,g trade tradition

!t

me if you have a problem. I'm not playing God, but
I have the contacts and know someone that will help.
I'll find someone that can help no matter what the
problem.'
If it's a job the person needed and SHOP finds
it, he is still not obligated to keep it. He doesn't
have to take any unneccessary crap or feel like he
can't quit because he will let us down. If one job
doesn't work-out, we can get him another one.
That is what is beautiful about the program: An
ex-con can still maintain an identity as a whole
person, not an obligating ex-con that is at socit>tis
mer·cy.

The recent activities · at the University of Oregon have brought
to the attention of a number of LCC students the question of the necessity
of a formal, codified student government here, at a two-year commuter
campus. The doubts raised in my mind are by no means unique, however,

student Mark J. Skinner.)

to avoid the trap of generalizations; I shall speak for myself as a concerned individual. Those doubts have compounded with the apparent
inability of the Student Senate to accomplish any meaningful business.
To look at the LCC student body, I see a spectrum "Wider than
can be found on any four-year institution. One thing, however, ties
all students together: not one of them lives on the campus. Consequently,
the money, time, and effort put into a student government can benefit
them about as well as a high-school student council. To the student who
attends one to four classes a day, then departs to earn a living, or to
the housewife returning to her home and children, or to the student
taking courses in preparation to attend a four-year college, the need
for a student government is minimal, at best. How, then, can the
Student Senate here justify its existence to these, the students they
are pledged to serve? What if they, like myself, find no desire to be

;,-

·1,.,

Is Senate necessary?

\

t

Two recent TORCH articles have set me upon this problem,
The first concerned the Student Senate meeting of March 8, wherein
a three and one-half hour meeting was to be later declared null and
void due to lack of a quorum. To quote the ASL CC Constitution, "a
quorum shall consist of 50 per cent plus one of the total Senate membership·' (Article XIII).
In other words, the Student Senate was operating with less than
half of its members present at a regular meeting. That apparent lack
of interest was echoed in the seconrt article 1 relating the impending
resignation of First Vice-Pi:esident Chuck Packnett 1 • due to his lack
of interest and attention to his position. This move would leave the
Executive Cabinet with only one of the five persons originally deemed
responsible enough for the duty of representing me as a student.
A brief glance at the ASLCC budget reveals the following outlays:
salaries and tuitions for officers and senators; $12,340
expenditures for ronventions and conferences; $8,500
legal services and miscellaneous projects; $10,715
expenditures for office supplies and equipment; $6,650
total k~LCC budget; $106,300.

Four members of the LCC Literary Arts Club recently entered

Crouch said that during Winter

Earplay is a project jointly sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Extension and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It
is not an attempt to bring back

The LOCAL SELECTIVE SERVICE BOARD, last week, reported
a slight drop in registrations of
young men turning 18 years of age.
This, the board said, has been noted during the past few months despite the fact that all male citizens
reaching the age of 18 years must
register regardless of the announcement that there will be no
• induction calls for the months of
March through June.
The board said apparently there
has been a misunderstanding of
former Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird's statement concerning
induction calls.
It is anticipated that -Congress

will not extend the authority to
induct beyond June 30, which is the
expiration date of that particular
part of the present law. But that
is the only part that expires.
Despite this the Selective Service is not going out of business.
Any male person, upon attaining
the age of 18 years, is required
to register, and shall be registered on the anniversary of the date
of his birth or within the period
of 60 days commencing 30 days
before such date.
These persons may register at
the Local Board office, 1065 High •
Street, Eugene, or with any duly
appointed Selective Service Registrar in various locations in Lane
County. The Local Board office is
open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
At LCC persons may register
with the registrar, Robert Marshall, in the Student Records Office on the second floor of the Center Building right across from the
Admissions Office.

Nine LCC
athletes were notified last week by Outstanding:
College Athletes of America (OCAA) officials that they were e11g1ble
~or recognition in the Hall of Fame awards program, plus honors
m the Hall of Fame Building in Los Angeles, California. Their names
appear in the current edition of '' Outstanding College Athletes of
America."
The nine athletes were Suzan Mitchell in field hockey, basketball,
track, and tennis; Beth Boehmer and Lorraine Hein1 for field hockey
track, and basketball; Dale Hammitt and Bill Cram, for cross countr;
an~ !rack; Michael Convey, soccer; Steve Maryanski, track; Randy
Gnfflth, cross country; and Ed Jaffarian, soccer.
The accomplishments of those nine athletes, together with a biographical sketch, will be included in the 1973 edition of "Outstanding
College Athletes of America." The athletes picked for the list met
criteria in the areas of leadership, service to the community, scholarship and athletic achievement.
Because they are being honored as athletes, it makes sense that
athletic achievement should be stressed. After checking the playing
records of the nine honored athletes there is no doubt that credit is
being given where credit is due.
Sophomore Physical Education major Sue Mitchell was the Outstanding Senior Athlete at Sheldon High School her senior year; she
was a two year basketball starter at LCC; and scored 13 goals in
field hockey, for which she was given honorable mention for the.AllStar list of the Willamette Valley Collegiate Field Hockey Tournamento
Beth Boehmer has been a consistent winner in her event in
track and field the last two years. It is not unusual for her to beat
opponents in the 3,000 meter run by laps and minutes instead of
meters and seconds. Last year she finished fifth in the Northwest
College Wom?n 1 s Sports Association Track and Field Meet in Washington, despite an injured leg,
Lorraine Hein has been a basketball standout, as well as a 41 foot
shot~putter for the Titan women's track and field squad. At the conclusion of last year~s season Lorraine won a trip to the NCWSA
Track and Field Championships in Washington where she won the
Northwest shot put crown with a throw of 39 feet 10 inches.
Mike Convey excelled on the 1972 Titan soccer team as a defensive
fullback. After giving superb efforts all season, he was nam?d by
Coach George Gyorgyfalvy as the Most Valuable Player on that team.
Edwin Jaffarian, a defensiveman and forward on the 1972 LCC
soccer team, scored 13 goals to win the Most Goals Award. Ed was
a soccer standout,
a top - notch tennis player, and· basketball
player through high school.
Dale Hammitt won the Outstanding Runner Award on the 1972
national champion Titan cross country teamo He also won the OCCAA
conference meet, Region 18 meet, and finished number 8 out of 300
runners at the National Championships in Pensacola, Florida. That

Moskowitz cautioned his conclusions are "tentative in view of

He noted that the "victims"

regulati ons for children 's toys

CBPIRG, (Oregon Student Public
Interest Research Group), recently
urged an adoption of State regulations on toy safety.
Last December a; PIRG pub~
lished a report showing that over
200 types of banned and dangerous
toys were being sold in Oregon.
The report criticized federal Food
and Drug Administration toy safety
efforts and called on the .n.dministrator of the Health Division,
Dr. Edward Press, to regulate the
sale of hazardous toys.
The toy safety rules now proposed by the State Division are
the first since the Health Division
was given authority to regulate
dangerous toys in 1971 with the
passage of the Hazardous Substance Act. The proposed rules
cover the sale of cribs, electrical toys, toy darts and arrows>
toys with small parts, and toys
with sharp edges or points.
CBPIRG attorney Neil Robblee
recommended several specific
changes in the proposed rules
which he claimnd were needed to
make them effective.
The space between slats in
cribs be lowered from 5 inches
to 2 1/4 inches. Robblee claimed
