Dear Editor:
I am form ally announcing my
candidacy for the office of .ASLCC
Presidency ... again. I do so with
some reservations and mixed feelings, but I'm ,ioing it nonetheless.

Dear Editor:
On April 30 I voted three tim,~s
in student body elections. I voted
the first time asking that my card
be stam;1 ?d on the back instead
of directly under the seal as usual
policy dictates. The second time
I voted by the usual procedure.
The third time I voted at station
four, located in the gym, which
had no printout. My registration
receipt was stamped. In no way
did I sway the outcome of the
election, as I varied which candidates I voted for.
My reason for voting more than
once was to point out a need for
election guideline reform. After
Senator-atthe Fall election,
Large Steve Leppanen announced
that he had voted three tim,~s.
Leppanen was throwing pebbles
at the Senate in an attempt to
achieve the same end, but the
Senate took no action. Where Leppanen was throwing pebbles, I
decided to throw rocks. Since my
action came from outside pf the
Senate, I felt it wo'Jld force the

Senate to d_
When I cast my ballots, I was
unaware of the impact my actions
would have upon the TORCH. I
did not discuss my plans with any
staff members prior to my actions.

I have some questions in my
mind about the viability of the student government at this school
and I have some questions about
the students. I have somt~ doubts
about whether the whole thing is
worth the time and energy involved. I at times doubt that anyone, including myself, really gives
a damn in the first place.

But I'm in it for this one last

It was established last week that frogs jump when they want to - not
when the handler wants them to.
although the largest official jump in last week's Frog Jumping
Co1te.3t was only one foot, nine and a half inches, frogs were jumping
as much as six feet at a hop when they thought they had a chance to
get away.
Several students from a sixth grade class at Aubrey Park Elementary School entered frogs while their classm:ites cheered them
on. The ingenious sixth graders used such methods as dumping ice
on their frogs hoping to entice them to jump.
One entry for prettiest frog was
a tiny tree fro.;,;, all decked out
in a pink bow with several gold
links attached and a dainty red
thread for a leash.
Rene Strobeck's frog, Harry,
took the prize in the distance
jump, while Green Lightnin' 1 belonging to Pete Richardson, took
fastest frog with a time of 3.9
seconds while escaping from an
eight-foot circle. Richardson, a
33 year old LCC student, also won
the oldest contestant category. His
son, Ron, won the prize for the
smallest frog.
The other winners included Infinity Pl us - entered by Troy
Edelman and Bill Farmer and
sponsored by the M:i.th Department
who had the distinction of being
the largest frog; Sparky, entered
by Eric Crouch, was judged the
most beautiful frog, Five year
old Trey Atkinson was judged as
the youngest contestant.
The contest, which awarded $15
to the winners of each of the
seven categories was co-sponsored by the TORCH and the ASLCC
Senate.

Edible Plants

Many people have starved in the
wilderness with
edible
food
abounding all around them. However, the problem is being able
to distinguish between the edible
plants and the poisonous ones.
Many plants are poisonous if consumed raw, but prepared properly
are very edible and nourishing.
Consuming a large quantity of
any edible plant can be harmful.
Especially plants growing in an
area where the soil is oversaturated with selenium, or even a
spring with selenium in it. Most
plants are non-accumulators of
selenuim, however, any plant may

Plans for a new Performing Arts Building are
moving toward an occupancy date of September,
1974, despite unexpected costs.
The original cost estimate that resulted from
studies in November, 1972 placed spending at a
little over one million dollars. But this point, with
all bid~ in, the cost of the original building plan
is some $266,000 over the November estimate.
Bill Cox, LCC superintendant of facilities and
construction, indicated that the high costs have not
killed the plan and revisions are being made.
Cox said that cuts made in the plans will not
affect the function of the building but will deal
with construction methods and materials.
Included in the changes will be the roof structure, which will be composed of asbestos and shakes
instead of the original copper-steel. Possibly such
items as sidewalks, and a catwalk will be altered.
If necessary, the $200,000 allotment for furniture
and equipment may also be reduced. Cox indicated
that the revisions in the roof would sa·,e about

although not included in the original plan, a
new choral room will cost an additional $43,000.
Cox pointed out that the need for the addition
was generally acknowleged by those concerned with
the planning and would be one of the planning goals.
Cox cited increased costs of both materials and
labor as the reasons for the difference between
the estimates and the bids.
Ed Ragozzino, chairman of the Performing Arts
Department, said that the initial reaction among
department members to the bid was one of shock.
The primary interest now, according to Ragozzino,
is to salvage the bid. He praised the co-operation
and interest shown by the architects.
The proposed site of the new facility is on the
open ground between the Mathematics/ Art and Design
Building and The Green.
Both Cox and Ragozzino indicated that a revised
plan will be submitted at the next LCC Boa rd

regarding the paper shortage:
"This is the first I've heard,

was his opinion that '' although

Titans seventh
in National JC
ChampiOnships
by Lex SahonchikA season-long dominance in the sport of track and
field ended last week for Lane Community College when
the LCC team tied for seventh in the National Junior
College Atbletic Association Track and Field Championships in Pasadena, Texas.
Without a strong, experienced sprint corps the
Titans could not score in the same class with sprint
and relay powers; Essex County, New Mexico Junior
College, and Mesa College of Arizona.
The three day meet was plagued by vicious winds
blowing off the South Texas plains, and right into the
track and field facility at San Jacinto Junior College.
That wind, coupled with temperatures in the high eighties and a soggy humidity, made the meet tO"Jgh for athletes from the N·orthwest.
As they have all season, the Titans relied on a
powerful javelin crew and a strong group of distance
runners to score points. Twelve points in the javelin
and twelve points in the mile and three mile races
gave Lane its 24 points.
Mesa College cam:~ away with the 1973 NJCAA
Track and Field ChamJionship with 54 points. They
dethroned defending champion Essex County College of
New Jersy which scored 51 points. Following those top
two schools were Lake City Community College with
48 points, New Mexico Junior College 43, Miami-Dade
South 28, Cuyahoga Community College of Cleveland
26, LCC 24, Eastern Oklahoma State 24, Jefferson
State 14, and South Plains College 14. Of the 92 competing schools 1 49 scored points including Central Oregon,

Blue Mountain, and Southwestern Oregon.
LCC's Steve Maryanski, the athlete who was ranked
second naturally in the javelin last year but was not
allowed to enter the nationals, opened his meet with
qualifying throw of m::>re than 212 feet, his second
effort of the trials. Mike Daniels, another of the Titans
strong spearmen, qualified for the finals by being listed
in the top 12 finishers of the qualifying rounds. For
LCC 's Dennis Wicks the story was a little different.
Wicks, the nation's leading junior college javelin thrower
couldn't manage to come up with a mark good enough
to qualify. He !'lad been bothered by a tendon pull in
his throwing arm since he threw 234 feet in the confe:.-ence championships over two w.?;?ks ago. He blam,~d
the weather conditions : "It's the wind and the heat
I've never thrown in this."
'
LCC Coach Al Tarpenning put it a different way:
' ' A slight tendon pull in his elbow prevented him from
working out for two weeks. The healing is com;_ng along,
but lack of competition hurt him. It's a shame the outstanding thrower can't compete all the way, but he'll
be back next year."
Then, in the finals, Mike Daniels, after carefully
studying his high school film :, for mistakes in his form
open8d things up by heaving the spear 225 feet 11 inche~
for the lead. He later improved that mark with a 22810 effort, but was unable to finish higher than fourth.
For AU-American Steve Maryanski, it was a field
day. His first throw was 232 feet and in three throws
_he improved to 236-4 and finally 238-9. Steve easily
had the best series of throws at the meet. The event
was won by Ken Norris of Allen County Community
College with a mark of 23:1 feet.
In the mile and three mile familiar faces scored
for Lane. Tim Williams qualified handily for the finals
in the mile and left no doubts about his ability in those
finals. From the very start of the four lap race Williams
ran his race • Moving from third to second place for
the first three laps, he stayed with the leader and
eventual winner, Tim McMullen of Allegheny. The last
lap sprint saw Williams capitalize on a strong kick to
grab second place and AU-American status. Williams'
tim:! was 4:13.3.
1

May 29, 1973 TORCH Page 7
Three milers Bill Cram, Dale Hammitt, and Randy
Griffith all qualified for their finals, but it was old
foe Fred Carnahan of Platte, the 1972 NJCAA cross
country champion, winning that race with a tremendous
sprint in the last 220 yards. Cram and Hammitt ran
a grueling 12 laps in the muggy heat and hot wind to
grab seventh and fourth respectively. Griffith, who
had some difficulty in the qualifying race, was troubled
by the hot weather and the hot pace of the race. He
finished one place behind Cram in eighth.
Elsewhere for Lane it was not as happy, nor as
productive. Mark Burt, the Titan freshman sprinter
finished out of the running in his 100 yard dash pre:
limtnary, despite running a very stroog race. He did
qualify for the semi-finals of the 220 yard dash by
finishing third in his heat in 22.1 seconds. But th1.t was
as far as he went; he finished last in his semi-final heat
behind sprinters running that race in 20.8 seconds like
Wardell Gilbreath of New Mexico.
'
LCC's 440 man, Dan Seymour, qualified for his
semi-finals with a 48.9 effort, only to fall in defeat
behind oeoole like Alfred Daley of Essex who set
a new NJCAA record of 46. 7 in the finals.
Jumping into the wind, long jumper Jeff Hampson
failed to qualify in his event, jumping only in the 20-21 foot
range. He cam e back to run in the Titan 440 yard relay team along with Mark Burt, Jeff Hardesty and Rick
Nickell. Still, he could not find success as 'that relav
team_. competing in the first heat against Essex County';
41. 5 clocking did not qualify.
~ane's other relay team, the mile relay, failed to
quallfy. Jeff Hardesty, Dana Tim~,, Rick Nickell, and
Dan Seymour all ran strong 50 second legs but Essex
. again ran away with the race.
Dan Sprauer and Chris Vigeland also tasted early
defeat in qualifying rounds of the 880 and the mile
respectively. Sprauer's speed and strength were not e~
nough to overcome the powerful national competition
and Vigeland could not find his breath in his third lap
of the mile.
Perhaps som ? of the results were not
seasonal bests for a few of the Lane athletes Coach
Tarpenning is quick to admit, but, ' 'they ga;e their
full efforts and I am proud to be associated with this
team.''

Now that the 1973 National Junior College Athletic Association
Track and Field Ch1.m;>ionships are completed, it is time to look ahead
to, next year and next year's site, which will be San Jacinto Junior
College again.
With a few good lessons learned perhaps the only way for LCC
athletes to familiarize them~;elves with the San Jacinto clim.1te is
to spend a w,2ek in the sauna in the Lane PE Department. Ninety degree weather and seventy per cent humidity is enough to make you
wonder if you want to peak at the nationals. If the oppressive climate
wasn' t enough, a twenty mph wind whipped across the unpro~ected
track, bringing a hot damp wind into the athlete's faces ,
That wind was a factor. The winning coach from Mes::i Community
College of Arizona, Carvel Jackson, says: "We're goj_ng to have to
get us a wind machine so we can get used to this b•2fore we come b:;ck
next year. We have a citrus grove next to our track out there that
protects us from the wind ... and we just don t have this much wind. "

.

Horace Tuitt, the Trinidad Olympian and half-m~le winner from
Essex County College in Newark N.J. 1 said: " there was too much
wind" for him to break the record of 1:48.8. His teammate Alfred
Daley did break the 440 yard dash record by sprinting the lap in 46. 7,
but was disappointed at his marks in the semifinals, claiming the
wind was a factor in his not establishing the record en.rlier.
Lane Community Cotlege Coach Al Tarpenning said: "I ,iust
can' t believe this wind, it just doesn't stop."
Despite the weather conditions eight records were broken by
athletes. M,tny people came away with a different attitude towards
junior college athletics.
There were certainly some outstanding athletes and marks at the
meet. The examples are endless. Th2::> Hamilton of Jefferson State
long jumping 24-11 3/4, Bob Rambo of Miami-Dade South setting a
new NJ CAA record in the intermediate hurdles of 51.6, Clarence Taylor
of Forest Park triple-jumping 51-5 for a new national junior college
record, and Wardell Gilbreath of New Mexico who scored 22 points
by himself, setting a new record of 20.6 in the 220 yard dash, taking
second in the 100 in 9.6, and anchoring both relay teams for New Mexico.
Maybe the best tale:it was on the Essex County sprint team. Larry
Brown runs the 100 in 9.3 seconds, Mike Hasty in 9.8, .and the absent
Aimley Armstrong in 9.5. In the 220 it's Brown clocked in 20.8,
Hasty in 21. 7, Armstrong in 20. 9, and i..lfred Daley in 21.3. Essex runs
the 440 relay in 40. 7 seconds and the mile relay in 3:03.2. Essex
runners are from Jamaica, Trinidad, and New York City.
Lane Community College doesn't offer scholarships. It has athletes
from Lane county. It competes, and it competes well. This is what
Co1ch Tarpenning says: ''I thought our team performed outstanding
considering all the competition from all over the United States.
Having athletes from Lane Couty I thought our team performed admirably, on the scale of schools recruiting nationally, and worldly,
giving full scholarships. I was pleased with everybody's performance,
considering the heat, humidity, and competition. From the results
of this meet athletes were performing on various teams that had performed in the Olympics. I think performances would rank pretty
high in th~ NA.IA and even the NCAA. This was certainly an outstanding
meet." Al concluded very fittingly: ''It's been a great year, I have
nothing to complain about . . . Although they may not have had their
best performances they gave their full efforts and I am proud to be
associated with this team."

Lane's quarter-miler Dan Seymour bursts from his
starting block in the 440 yard dash at the National
Junior College Track and Field Championships,
held at San JacintQ Junior College in Pasadena,
Texas, Thursday through Saturday. Seymour's qualifying time was 48. 9, but Seymour was unable to

gain points in the finals as he finished 7th. Strong
winds hampered the performances of the Lane
track team, along with the 90 degree temperatures
and 70 to 80 per cent humidity, L ane finished seventh
in team scoring, tied with Eastern Oklahom 1 State,
with 24 points.

Busby

ball coach at LCC.
Bates, a 1957 graduate of Southern Oregon College, has established himself as one of the top
coaches in the OCCAA in his
term at SWOCC according to Bob
Radcliffe, LCC athletic director.
Since coming to SWOCC Bates'
teams have compiled a lll win and
58 loss record.

According to Dick Newell, head
of the Physical Education Department, Bates' "knowledge of the
philosophy of community colleges,
his reputation among other coaches
in the state, and his coaching record 11 at swo:c were the items
that most impressed the selection
committee.

Dale Bates

Dale Bates, . coach at Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay for the past
six years, has been hired to take
Irv Roth's place as head basket-

When questioned on his plans
for Lane Bates replied that he
had looked over the roster of
returning players and had noted
that we have quick little men
who can score and work outside,
but big men inside is our first

concern."
Bates has been doing some
homework. He has attempted tc,
contact such players as Robbi(;
Smith of Pleasant Hill (All-State
AA, AU-District), Dave Roshau
(All Distric,t AAA) of North Eugene, and Tom Burrow.:; (second
team, AU-District) of Sheldon.

Bates has also contacted the University of Oregon on the possibility of working with them in the
future: He told the TORCH he
had contacted Dick Stewart, assistant coach to U of 0' s Dick
Harter, about possiblities in working with potential U of O bounc'
ball players who would benefit from
conpetition at the community col lege level.
Interested players, both pres ent and future, are invited to at tend a m?eting with Bates in thE

Rick Mathews
by Jim Gregory

• The second student government
officer elections will see only
on,3 new candidate running for
ASLCC President. Rick Mathews
said he decided to run because
the candidates "the last election
made a farce out of the democratic process.''
Although he is not a student
governm,3nt officer, Mathews said
he has been involved with the Senate and claimed his experience
with the McGovern Campaign at
LCC gives him some of the experience he needs as president.
M;tthews said he doesn't have
many programs to carry-out as
president, but claimed if elected
he would be a representativ".:! of
the students - not his own representative.
He added, however, that he would
like to see a student center established in Eugene. He explained
the center would be a place for
students to gather for coffee, music
or community activities.
The candidate said the only organization of which the ASLCC
Senate is presently a member
which he supports is the Oregon.
Community College Student Association (o:csA).
Mathews also said he would work
to lessen apathy in student governm?nt, but if he couldn't get students interested he would get behind a program to abolish the
ore sent form nf stu ient govern:rrnnt.

Jay Bolton
by Jim Crouch
Incumbent Presidential candidate Jay Bolton "would like to
see the present mandate maintained."
Bolton feels that he has spent
a year establishing a good government he would like to carryover into direct student services
such as legal aid, and scholarships for students.
He said, "after the last election
a need to straighten up the bylaws is in order." He has already
implemented a study to this effect.
"Fifteen to sixteen active people
is all that is needed to run the
student governmt1nt," said Bolton.
He would like to see departmental
senators done away with and replaced with ten more Senators-atLarge. '' The department senators
don't seem to represent the indi victual departments anyway," he
said.
Bolton concurs with the 1973/74
ASLCC Budget proposals for Student Health· ($30,000, double last
year's allocation) and legal services (to be implemented by
$16,000). He feels that all other
budget items need more discussion.

Steve Leppanen
by Carol Newman
s·teve Leppanen, currently a Senator-at-Large, is again running for
ASLCC President. His goal is to
turn student government into a
direct service agency.
Leppanen feels student government should "serve human needs

camnus . . . in housing, transport;tion, medical services, legal
services, and child care."
He stressed that he still wants
to have free transportation for LCC
students through the Lane County
bus system - a proposal he has
studied and suggested to the senate. He feels that this can be accomplished for approximate 1y
$15,000. "We've got to do som•~thing to relieve the congestion
and pollution,'' he added.
Leppanen stated that he "has
reservations about the viability of
student government, of students...
You beat your head against a wall
and nobody cares."
However, when asked if he was
in favor of abolishing student governmnnt, he said, "No, but I am
in favor of some radical changes,"
Leppanen said that he wants student government at be "an agency
that is out to serve people, not
a playground."

Barry Gower is now seeking the
office of First Vice President.
This is a switch from the last
election where Gower won the uncontested race for Second Vice
President.
"The First Vice Presidency will
give me more time to sit in on
committees," •said Gower. The
First Vice President is in charge
of elections and fills the job of
president at times of vacancy.
One of Gower's goals n3xt year
will be to make the Student Awareness Center (SAC) a more effec.tive office for the student body.
He feels that much has been done
this last term but that still m )re
can be done. Gower said "SAC
should be the most viable student
organization on this campus."
Election guidelin?s is another
area that Gower would "tighten
up" if elected. He would limft the
polling booths to one, lo~ated in
a central spot accessible to the
maxium number of students. Gower
said, "There is no reason our
elections can't be run similar to
the county elections. All that is
needed is som,~one to plan and
then carry out those plans."
Gower's budget priorities are
student health, legal aid, Student
Awareness Center, and student
activities.

added two goals to his platform,
The first is "to have less personality into arguments on issues." Munoz feels the Senators
should display "more objective
detachment" rather than "misuse the Senate to satisfy a personal anger trip."
M11noz said he would also encounge greater Senate participation from clubs." The clubs have
more direct contact with the students and are more representative
of the stu ients than the Senate
is," he said.
He added he felt more money
should be budgeted for clubs so
that they could sponsor activities,
or that club representatives should
at least work with the second
vice-president
in
organizing
school activities.

Doris Koumoungis

The race for the office of ASLCC
Treasurer poses no suspense this
time with Doris Koum ::mngis, winner of the earlier elections, running unopposed.
Ms. Koumoungis is in favor of
more student services, better reprepresentation for the evening- students, and more and better communications.
'' Presently the evening students
pay their fee, but do not receive ,
any value for it," Ms. Koumoungis
said. '' I would like to see this
changed.''
While she feels that the office
of Treasurer would only take about 20 hours a week to do right,
Ms. Koumoungis said that, '' If
elected I will keep the books current on a weekly basis.·'
'' The role of the Finance Chairman (another duty of Treasurer)
is to inform the Finance Co:n mittee

EWI n g

by Steve Busby
Lloyd Ewtng, a freshman running
for the office of ASLCC Publicity
Director, has been gaining experience in the operations of his ·
office. Ewing won an uncontested
race d11ring the first elections earlier this month.
Ewing has been working with
current Publicity Director Barry
Hood since the elections to gain
working knowledge of the Publicity Director's duties.
Ewing said that although he feels
that the TORCH has done a good
job of covering the Senate, he
feels that at times the newspaper
has been too critical of the Senate. Ewing said the TORCH should
attempt to give "more constructive criticism."
But Ewing said he feels he will
be able to work closely with the
TORCH to provide the students
with information, in spite of the
TORCH editorial not endorsing
him prior to the last election.
