Oregon to reclassify penalty for possession of mariiuana (CPS) --Under a new Oregon law which takes effect Friday, possession •of up to one ounce of marijuana has been reclassified as a ''violation" with a maximum penalty of a $100 fine. Oregon thus becomes the first state to remove the more serious criminal ~enalties for the private possession of the drug. other states have taken or are considering action to reduce criminal penalties for possession and use. Texas recently passed a new law reducing possession to a simple misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and/ or a fine of up to $1000. In addition, the law provides for resentencing of persons currently serving stiff jail terms for possession. More than 700 persons are currently serving an average sentence of 9 1/2 years in Texas prisons for marijuana possession. Decriminalization measures have been introduced this year in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New York, and Rhode Island, the only state which still treats possession of small amounts of marijuana as a felony. Paper shortage hit TORCH goes In an article published in the TORCH last May 29, it stated that '' visible signs'· of the paper shortage would soon become apparento It has now become apparent in the TORCH'S latest edition: it has been reduced 1 1/2'' due to the shortage. Locally, the TORCH and at least two other Eugene/Springfield newspapers were notified that they would have to curb the size or circulation of their papers to meet growing production demands with existing resources. Because of the increasing LCC student body, the TORCH decided to take the reduction in size rather than circulation. Richard Lamberton, a spokesman for paper manufacturer Boise Cascade Corp., tried to answer the questions as to why there is a to smaller pages paper shortage and how long it may last. He explained that the world's largest suppliers of pulp-Canada, the US, and the Sc and in avian countries--do not have enough paper mills to produce the amount of paper needed to supp~y themselves and the rest of the world. And adding to the situation, some US and Canadian mills have closed down due to "scheduled depreciation, and pollution legislation." LCC students gathered last Wednesday at the Spring Arts Stage above the south parking lot ·to enjoy Ne~ VP "I want to provide the greatest vari et y of activities for every type of student,' · said Roger Leasure, recently -appointed ASLCC second vice president. Leasure was appointed by .ASLCC President David Red Fox at the start of this term to fill the remainder of Kenny Walker's unexpired term. (Walker was elected to the position of Vice President of the National Student Association at a student congress emphasize varied activities this summer in Miami Beach, Florida, and must now- assume that position in Washington, D.C.) Commenting on his new duties, Leasure said that student input will be the factor in determining what kinds of activities the ASLCC will sponsor. "I've prepared an activities preference questionnaire that students can pick up in the ASLCC offices. I hope as many students as possible will fill it out, or better • Media Commission conducts short review; major complaints said unfounded Most charges filed against TORCH Editor Carol Newman, by David Simmons, ASLCC senator-atlarge, and Barry Hood, ASLCC first vice president, were reviewed and found unsubstantiated at a spec i al Media Commission meeting on Sept. 13. However, neither Simmons nor Hood attended the meeting. The charges included Ms. Newman's " failure to Anderson abide and comply with Media Commission GuidePage 2 lines during her editorship Summer Term. ' returns Specifically listed were the following allegations: That the Editor was not an enrolled student of LCC carrying at least five credits; that the Editor did not appoint an Editorial Board to recommend edMovie itorial stands; that the Editor failed to supply her Page 4 student staff with written lists of responsibilities Review and duties as stated in the guidelines. The list continued with accessibility to the TORCH, the priorities of TORCH news and advertising items; the balance of news coverage in the Prisons TO~CH, the failure to publish on an announced Page 6 &7 date; and an alleged breach of contract to be examined considered in the review. Associate Dean of Instruction Gerald Rasmussen, a Commission member who acted as a hearings officer, stated that he had investigated Classified the charge of the editor's enrollment and found Page 9 it to be without substance.

The charge was dismissed in a unanimous motion. After discussion about the lack of an Editorial Board and job descriptions, the Media Commision moved to officially recognize that the job descriptions were not distributed and the Editorial Board meetings not conducted, and that Ms. Newman should take immediate action to rectify the omissions. After discussion on the issues of accessibility, priorities, and balance, the Commission acceptad a motion made by Dean Rassmussen. The motion stated: "Nothing that follows is to be interpreted as criticism of the editor because we do not have any evidence to substantiate such statements. We suggest that the editor consider the degree of accessibility to the TORCH and the balance of news coverage. We further suggest that the editor make certain that the TORCH priorities and advertising policies be well publicized. If there are those dissatisfied with this concllision of the hearings, we request they submit spec ific charges to the Commission. We declare this matter closed." Another charge against Ms. Newman concerned an advertising contract made between the TORCH and the ASL CC Senate this summer.

Leasure, 23, a 1967 graduate of Hollywood High School , Los Angeles, added, "In fact I'd be g'lad to help any group or organization on campus put on any type of event that they want to.'' He went on to state, ' ' Most students don't even realize that the student government exists. If they can see activities they like, it should cut down on the percentage of apathetic students and increase interest in student government " Leasure traces his involvement in student government Lane from Winter Term, 197_ 2, whe1 ; he was elected ASLCC Senator from the Art and Applied Design Roger Leasure Department.

We obviously WEEKLY SPECIAL Intelligence Digest by Jack Anderson (Copyright, 1973, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) WASHINGTON - T-he Senate Watergate Committee has obtained a White House document which complains of my access to secret intelligence digests. It's true I see secret intelligence reports, which often contain some fascinating items. Here are a few examples: - The latest intelligence reports warn that trouble -may flare up along the Chinese-Mongolian border. There is evidence, according to the reports, that the Soviets may be instigating an incident. - Intelligence reports from the Middle East claim that Soviet missile technicians have refused to operate the new antiaircraft missiles that they have installed in Syria. The Soviets reportedly have been .ordered to keep out of direct combat. The Syrians, therefore, have gone to Hanoi to recruit North Vietnamese veterans who have had experience operating the Soviet missiles. - Colonel Qaddafi, the Libyan strongman, is preparing a little green book of his sayings, patterned after the little red book of Mao Tsetung' s thoughts. Arrangements have been made to distribute the green book throughout the world. It will teach Islamic socialism, which Qaddafi claims is the middle course between Communism and Capitalism. - Perhaps the most surprising intelligence reports tell of fighting bet- . ween North Vietnamese troops and Cambodian insurgents in Cambodia. _They had been fighting together _to overthrow the government of Lon Nol. But just as they appeared to be winning, some units turned their guns on one another in outbreaks over the control of supplies. Oil Plans: A severe winter could leave the nation critically short of heating oils. Shortages could also develop in propane gas and electrical power. The Northwest is particularly vulnerable to a power shortage. The new energy czar, John Love, is already drafting emergency plans which would go into effect in case of a bad winter. He is getting help from both the Interior Departlent and the Office of Emerg ncy Planning. Their proposa s should be ready for final White House approval by mid-October. They will recommend curtailing nonessential activities, such as theatre performances, concerts and sporting events, if the fuel oil shor- always support the President's policies. Condemnation Rip-Offs: One of the most controversial practices of government is condemnation. The government has the power to condemn property supposedly for _ the public good. But the way it works, owners are often forced to sell their property to government agencies or corporations at rockbottom prices. Here are some recent examples: In New York City, an old neighborhood was torn down to make way for a factory expansion. The residents, mostly elderly people who had lived there all their lives, were given token sums for their property. Now they have · no homes and no place to go. ·Throughout the South, the Army Corps of Engineers have taken land by condemnation to build .dams and reservoirs. But then, developers are invited to build recreation facilities for profit. The original owners, meanwhile, are left on the outside looking in. In the Far West, farmers and ranchers have lost their land to the big coal companies. The farmers, many of them working on the same . land their great-grandparents homesteaded, don't own what's below the ground. They are paid ridiculously low prices as token compensation, then thrown off as the big strip mining machines go to work. All of this land grabbing is written ·off as the price of progress. tage gets serious· enough. They will also consider closing down schools during extremely cold weather. The lost school days would be added at the end of the academic year when the weather is warmer and the school buildings require less heating. As another fuel saving measure, the temperatures will probably be lowered in federal buildings. A campaign can also be expected to urge all Americans to turn down their thermometers at home and cut down on the use of their automobiles. The emergency measures, or course, will depend upon • the weather . CIA Yes Men: The late President Kennedy blamed the Bay of Pigs blunder on the Central Intelligence Agency. He declared afterward that he "wanted to spli_n ter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds." When he cooled down, he called in White House adviser Clark Clifford who had d r afte d the legislation establishing the CIA. As Clifford ren.embers it, Kennedy said: ·"I made some bad decisions on the Bay of Pigs. I m a de these bad decisions because I had bad information ."

Ore., revealed in a Friday morning press conference in Eugene that he has joined with a group of Congressmen to introduce a federal minimum: wage law that _would exclude agricultural workers and young people who are still students or just entering oc• cupational fields o Dellenback said that while he feels strongly that the present minimum wage level of a $1.60 per hour should be raised, he could not support the bill the President vetoed. He said the bill that came from Congress, and was vetoed by tli'e President, had features in it that doomed it to defeat. The new measure that Dellenback plans to help introduce would provide for a progressive increase in the basic minimum wage up to $2.30 three years after passage. 'on another topic, Dellenback stated that he joins with Oregon' s US Senator Mark Hatfield in ·expressing concern at the federal Office of Management and Budimpoundment of forestry get's funds. "These are funds that very much should be released,'' he declared. He said he was frustrated when the Office of Management and Budget impounded funds which President Nixon endorsed for a new timber study. The study called for increased expenditures for reforestation and intensive managemento " There are frustrations in the job- -but there are satisfactions too,'' he confessed. Commenting on Vice-President Agnew's request that Congress conduct a full inquiry into the recent charges against the Vice-Pres ident, Dellenback felt that Congress should wait for the results of the federal grand jury's investigation into the case. He emphasized that "in our judicial system, anyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence until the facts are proved otherwise.'' Simmons, 28, a CommunityServices and Public Assistance major, explained that he filed early because he "wanted the exposure." With a 180 day wait until the • filing deadline, he claimed, · "I filed early because I wanted to get people in my district that might be favorable to me to register.

Arriving as it did on a tidal wave of controver sy and attendant publicity, "Tango" is destined to make a tidy little bundle here in Eugene as it will wherever • it plays. Potential curiosity seekers should, however, be warned not to expect too much. They may be entertained by an occasionally powerful performance by Marlon Brando in an inferior role ... they might laugh at the intermitte nt touches of sardonic humor ... but they will find none of the truths about modern romance and sexuality that "Tango'' pretends to demonstrate. Viewers, incidentally, will probably be more surprised at Brando's interestin g use of verbal obscenity than at the supposedly exotic sexual encounters that caused all the uproar. The screenplay, by Bertolucc i and' Franco Arcalli, tells of Paul (Brando), an expatriate American in Paris whose wife has just committed suicide. We first see Paul venting his rage at the roar of a Parisian frain but he soon finds another target. In the space of a few minutes we find ourselves watching Paul brutally making something, certainly not love, to an apartment hunting nymph amidst the rubbish in a vacant apartment. How they happened to meet there is never quite clear ...but ::>nee they have, they begin an affair that could only be described as torturous . Torturous at least for the girl Jeanne (Maria Schneider), who doesn't mind the situation. Jeanne's masochistic bent, it is hinted, has something to do with her departed father, whom she discusses with her mother while fondling the pistol he left. The theme is hinted at again when Paul jauntily dons her father's cap, but it is never developed.: It is as if Bertolucc i was never sure just why she entered the affair with Paul, so he hints at several reasons, (the father, the mother, a fiance) never bothering to develoP. something tangible. The' oh-my-go sh-n-golly s beat -me-daddy Shirley Temple-gonemad quality of the character , Jeanne, accents and contrasts the animallistic Paul, (just as Schnieder' s simple-minded performance contrasts Brando's intensity) .

All very complicated but Bertroluc ci and Franco prove to us in the end that it was all a big joke. They draw us in, then leave us flat. Bertolucc i's camera technique at least, is excellent. His beautiful portraitur e and smooth camera movement help to maintain what there is of the supposed romance in his script. But, whoever is responsible for "Tango's '' soundtrack should be tied-down and made to listen to the thing for a month straight. The background music is so ridiculous ly ill-paced and intrusive it seems to have been dubbed by someone who didn't bother to watch the film. On the whole, "Last Tango in Paris" promises a lot but delivers naught. Screenwr iters. Bertroluc ci and Franco became so obsessed with complication they forgot what they were saying. 1 i *** ** ** It * ****: ***** Classified s for only 25~ a line It 25~ -~ 25~ ** *** ** * * ** H!* ******** Drivers traveling south from Springfiel d or taking the Lane Community College exit from Interstate 5 eventually tour what has been ter·med by many as "gasoline alley' ' which ends up on 30th Avenue.

This belief is also bolstered by some sexist marriage license bureaus where women are told, 'You must use his name.' '' Under Engligh Common Law, any peson may use any name desired as long as it is not done for the purpose of fraud. According to Goodman, if a woman marries and wishes to use her own name she should simply continue to do so. The mo~t important thing is · Electronic consistency. A woman must be careful never to adopt her husband's name for any purpose. If a married woman wishes to resume her own name, she must do so for all purposes.

The instructor stands at a master console connected to the units and asks questions, to which a student may respond by pressing one of five buttons on his desk. • Student responses are then recorded and tabulated at the master console, and each student is notified of the correct answer by a light at his desk unit. The system allows professors to evaluate the effectiveness of their lecture material on the spot, as well as provide an easy m_ethod of giving short quizzes at any point in the lecture.

Multi-colored blocks cell enclose fears "The problem", continued Norman, "is that the rules regulating inmate; behavior apply to all mmates. The inmates, who need to be regulated by these rules, will not abide by the rules anyway. So where does that leave the bulk of the inmates?" "The experience one receives in today's prison system is an institutional process rather than a rehabilitating one. The result being that a strong r~socialization process is required for these individuals to survive on the outside; - not to speak of being productive citizens. "Coming out of prison is a culture shock - where they move away from a highly-structured control situation such as eating, working, and the necessary bodily functions, into a setting that allows a great number of decision-making opportunities. '' Part of the reason many were incarcerated was due to the lack of successful social skills and wise Oftentimes the prison decision-making skills. experience has not enhanced this process, leaving the offender at a greater disadvantage as a functioning member of society than when he went in." Norman said that in his op~n the two percent who are the problem are sick and ·~ould be receiving tielp. "They should not be locked behind bars waiting for some miracle to cure them." This is one ex-con's vi:ew of the prison system. He is a 24 year -old Chicano who has just been released on a program called Work Release. The courts tried and convicted Norman of a crime against society--just like every person behind bars. One of the theories upholding the existence of the penal system is that prisons are needed for the protection of law-abiding citizens. Once a person is convicted of breaking the law, he is judged and if the courts feel he is a threat to the law-abiding public tie is sen~enced to spend some time behind bars. These are Dr. Ken Hi 11 s, views about many of the ex-cons he comes into contact with every dav in his job as Director of Counseling at LCC. De Dr. Hills cautions that his observation is not true with all ex-cons ~ut it does apply in many cases. The purpose of the penal system is to rehabilitate the prisoner to function as a law-abiding citizen capable of handling his responsiblilities in life. Many ex-cons question the methods used by th~ prison authorities. Since the inmates are the subjects of the methods used, it is only fair to listen to their views of what it was like behind the walls. Every day, inside the prison, each inmate is subjected to interactions wi.th prison officials. These encoooters might be as simple as the permission to visit another inmate or as complex as problems concerning major prison policy. It seems, according to the many people that I have interviewed, the physical punishment adrn~.nistered to inmates is a thing of the past. Methods have grown progressively more sophisticated and the rubber hose is left in an era allto itself. In fact, some prisoners would welcome it back. As one ex-con put it, "I could handle the beatings and such) but the methods they (prison officials) use no one has a defense against. ThepsychGlogicalmethod of systematically tearing a person apart and then rebuilding him to act as a robot is effective. What they hope is to end up with a person who w111 neither question nor act against society's • ' views and standards. . However, P:ison policy is not the most important issue. Each mmate has a different interpretation ?f the d~ily interactions. And this, in many cases, is the smgle most important factor influencing how successful the inmate will be in his adjustment and length of stay in society upon release from prison.

More people filtered in, found seats, and sat around waiting, chatting about their problems and discussing some of the things that irked them. One young man refered to an article that had appeared in the Register-Guard on April 5. The story was about the refusal by State Corrections Division Administrator Amos Reed to allow any prisoners or parolees to lobby and testify about prison reforms before legislative commit- This was my first .insight to some of the personal complaints held by Oregon prisoners because of their view of the " system''. This statement was made to me by a man, wishing. to . remain anonymous, whom I spoke to while walking to Counselor Ken Hills' Orientation to College class in the student lounge in the Center Building. This same man is one of the approximately 40 .students attending LCC as a convict, parolee,. or ex-con on tµe NewGate and other prisoner educational/work release programs. Hills' Orientation to College class is made up of orisoners and ex-cons. The aim :>f the class is to help convicts make the adjustment from prison to school and social life as smooth as possible. As I waited for the class to begin, I looked around the :room. Over in one corner a couple of men were talking about some of the girls they had met out here at school. Sitting at a desk was a middle aged mm and an attractive young woman discussing a planned clothing drive and another Most ex-cons feel the penal systems only func he is let to fend for himself in society.

Thii itself is proof that the methods are not work to thoroughly confuse an inmate when over the state at will under this release program.'' Reed had added that there is nothing preventing prisoners from submitting written testimony on current bills. Shortly after 8:30 a.m., Gary Wolfe, an ex-con himself and coordinator of Self Help Oriented People, a campus group of cons, ex-cons, and parolees, walked in and started the class by asking the students to report on the progress they had made on their various class projects. The young man who was in charge ofposter art work said, "Hey, how 'bout this, a prison with numbers coming out the gate and going into the top of a funnel, and having people come out of the small end." Another man suggested that they have a poster with a person holding books under one arm and a broken ball and chain at his feet. (/~~' '\ ) f ) v ~\ ----- -=--..

Reed had indicated that permission to do so would be granted only in an "unusual or exceptional situation", or upon the special request of a chairman of a legislative committee. According to the article, Reed had said, "This is no time to get careless and have 239 people (the number of prisoners on educational and After class, in an informal interview with both Hills and Wolfe, I asked Hills his opinion of prisoners' lobbying refusal. Hills answered, "Reed is implying that by allowing one or two people from an area to go that all 239 must go, that isn't what's being asked for . Testifying is an aspect of showing maturity, after all, rehabilitation is supposed ·to orientate the prisoners to work within the system. If these types of requests are denied, what kind of experience will rehibilit::i te ?'' For the next hour or so the class discussed individual problems, publicity plans for SHOP and a wide variety of other SHOP related subjects.

For instance, you might live on the fourth tier of a cell block and want the bull to open your cell so you can enter your home; many times the bull will make you wait 20 minutes before he walks up and admits you. The rules state that you cannot loiter or converse with other inmates on the tiers.

'' I and another inmate were scrubbing the floor on our hands and knees whe11 tbe door suddenly . busted open, One of the guards came storming in_ yelling that we should never get caught alone in a room with the door closed. He insinuated that we were having some kind of a homosexual love affair," said Steve. "We tried to explain that th.J only reason the door was closed was because we had to scrub behind the door. The guard wouldn't listen, all he would do was threaten us as to what would happen if he caught us again. "The thing thatbothersmeeventoday," said Steve, is that we were subjected to that man's dirty mind and couldn't do a damn thing about it. Can you imagine this happening to you on the outside?" . ' ' Even though we were completely innocent I couldn't protest this utterly degrading incident without fear of further reprisal. Besides it wouldn't do any good if I did report it.' ' Before running afoul of the law and going to prison, Pete Richerson, 33, came to Euiene to attend the U of O on a wrestling scholarship. Pete spent three years of an eight-rear sentence and is now attending LCC. His views on the life behind bars Without differ somewhat from other ex-cons. the slightest trace of bitterness Pete said, ••Tne experience of prison life is just another experience in life--the difference being the hassles .•. ··-· "For instance" continued Pete, "I was written up_ for wearing pants that had frayed cuffs. They (the prison officials) held a hearing to make it official, I was asked at the hearing how the pants got frayed because the charge against me was destroying state property. I explained that I had been issued the paRts and they were in the frayed condition at that time. They were pants that had been used outside at one of the forest camp projects. I also explained that the pants had three belt loops missing. I was then asked to leave the room and the board would discuss the charge. I was found guilty of the charge and given a sentence of 'indefi•nite isolation' - suspended for thirty days. What this means is that in the next thirty days, if I was written up for any rule infraction I would automatically- go to the hole for an indefinite period of time," Pete went on to say, "They have a funny justin:1 syst~m up there. If you are guilty as cha'rged vmi go to the hole; if the evidence is lacking or it's obvious that you are innocent they still find you guilt~· and give you indefinite isolation suspended for thirt \ days." Steve relates another incident that shows the logic used to rehabilitate inmates. '' I was sitting in the card room playing cards and one of the guards walked up and said ' Your hair is not pushed back behind your ears.' He called me over to the side and told me 'If you can't follow the simple rules we have here, how do you expect to follow the rules outside?' He went on to explain that the rules outside were much more complicated and difficult to follow; also that since I had demonstrated I couldn't follow them, he didn't see much chance for an early release. "The problem is," continued Steve, "that t~e guards live by the rules. They know they are right because it's written in the book. They try to teach you to abide and not question social conformity. In reality, if you're going to have personal autonomy, there isn't a book." "life is' a compromise . . . a draw . is the best a pers11n can 1xpect to come out with in the ga-me.,, A different philosophy on life was expressed by Norman. ' 'Life is a compromise--just like a chess game. The only difference is society has taken away all the pawns and a person must start the game on the defensive. Life is a series of moves and the object of the game is not to out yourself in checkmate. "A draw is the best a person can expect to come out with in the game, and then you are forced to play another and then another but still at the same disadvantage.' ' • supported his statement that " ..•this type of peer group interaction can be very effective in teaching the others to play the game of society.' ' @Ide Wolfe, although not directly involved in prison reform lobbying, felt thatsomerecently proposed prison reform measures dealing with release programs should get more attention. According to Wolfe some people think of " corrections' ' as control and punishment, paying debts to society and being locked up until they ( prisoners) are " safe. " Student Senate News "Peer counseling,' ' says Wolfe, "is the most effective way of communicating with a person who's been locked up for five, six, maybe seven years. When people come out they' re scared, - think of the changes that have occured in the last few years, mini-skirts, bell bottom pants, high prices, politics, all of these things are a new experience and it takes somebody who knows the adjustment difficulties to help the ex-con to make a successful adaptation. Now we have a place these people can go and discuss their where problems ; housing, clothing, school loans, selfidentity . All of these can and must be dealt with so that the ex-con can make the proper adjustment without feeling that he's at the mercy of the society which he left a few years ago. 1 ' Of course I'm very happy about the new way of treating cons through programs like SHOP", Wolfe added. When people started to realize that 'criminals'in our society were under their very noses, it became apparent that a new system to rehibilitate prisoners was necessary.'' efusflasl1 published Monday Wednesday & Friday every week Pd. for by ASLCC Senate Pagf 8 TORCH Oct. 2, 1973 &evu,pea,e rluto "Reµui • 1'1U Speetatut Info needed for LCC Student owned and operated -'- quality work - low price In preparation for observing its tinued until it was absorbed by tenth anniversary next year, LCC the new Lane Community College is compiling material for a com- on July 1, 1965.

Led by Rod Cooper, a freshman from North D ouglas High School in Drain, Lane's runners swept through the rest of the field to place second with 57 points ahead of Mt. Hood with 98 points, Clark College with 138, and Linn-Benton CC (who did not field a full team and did not receive a score).

According to Coach Al Tarpenning, "We knew they (Spokane CC) be strong but we were would pleased with the showing of our team." Spokane normally competes with small four-year colleges and is not a member of the US Junior College .Mhletic Association. The top three Lane runners in this meet had times bettering the times of the top three LCC runners from last years run over the same course. These three menRandy Griffith, Bill Cram, and Dale Hammitt- went on to gain All-American recognition while leading the Titans to the national junior college championship. One of the returning lettermen from that team, Tim Williams, showed that he is ready for the new season by cutting a full min- ute off the time he set over this course last year. And the knowledge that Jay Frentress, a transfer from Linfield, will join the team halfway through the season has produced an air of confidence among the Titan harriers. Director seeks advice on intramural sports LCC's intramural program this term will include a number of sports that have been popular in the past, including; tennis, three man basketball, badminton, a turkey ri.~n, weight lifting and flag football. If you would like to see a sport added to the list, contact Bob Radcliff in the Physical Education Office, 747-4501 ext. 277. The Titans relied on their freshmen in this meet as they eased past three of their conference opponents. Lane's team finished with 26 points, easily ahead of second place Southwestern Oregon CC which finished with 40 points. Umpqua CC and Central Oregon CC waged a tight battle for third spot with Umpqua CC taking it by a slim 71 to 74 margih. The freshmen dominated the standings for Lane, claimingthree of the top four spots. The individual winner for the second week in a row was Rod Cooper. He led from the starting whistle (they forgot the gun) en route to a clocking of 20:49, --15 seconds ahead of the next · finisher, LCC's Dan Aunspaugh. Aunspaugh had a time of 21:04 for the four mile course, while Dennis Myers, still another freshman, came in fourth in 21:35. Myers was not slated to run in this meet due to a leg injury sustained earlier in the week, but he was pressed into service at the last minute because of the absence of three of the other LCC runners. Don't just be look ed at, be look ed up to. The three m1ssmg men--Tinl Williams, Scott Richardson, an Chris Vigeland--arrive d too latE due to a routing mix-up that caused them to miss the Coos Bay exi from Interstate 5. Myers had to make adjustment~ during the course of the race t compensate for his leg injury '' Running up the hills was th only thing that bothered me.

This was the response elicited from wrestling coach Bob Creed when he talked about Murray Booth. Booth, a letter winner two year's ~go, did not attend Lane last year after winning the conference and regional titles and virtually rewriting the record books the year before--Booth is the holder of the school record for most Bob Creed pins, and most wins in a season, to name a few. Booth joins letter winners Dave Parks (second in the regionals in the 158 pound class last year), Paul Foster (118), Willis Carmen (134), Steve Huffman (167), Dave Faulk (167-177), and Eligher Jones (heavyweight) to form a '' good nucleus for this year's team," said Creed. The outlook for this season, according to Creed, is "for a stronger team than last year's." This may just hold the Titans even with the rest of the league as Creed says: "The league has evened out a lot." This year, he said, Clackamas CC, Central Oregon CC, Southwestern Oregon CC, and Umpqua CC should all be in the thick of the fight for the conference title. Lane's season opens officially - Oct. 29. Anticipating that time, the varsity wrestlers have been working out in the weight room and running. Workouts are scheduled from 3 to 5 p.m. every day. The first competition for the grapplers is a scheduled Dec. 1 tournament in Klamath Falls. However, Creed is hopeful that he can arrange a scrimmage with the University of Oregon JV's before them. Creed said anyone interested in competing on the varsity wrestling team should contact him in the Physical Education Offices (phone 747-4501, ext. 277) or drop by the weight room between 3 and 5 p.m. CBookc:!aill uged • te~t bookg 14th & Oak "downtown" Oct. .2, 1~73 TORC~ ~age 11 Point Freshman leads team HAMBURGER DAN'S Burgers, Shakes, Fries "Try tbe best In old-tasbioaad bamburpn" • by Steve Busby Rod Cooper is fast establishing himself in the conference's cross country circuit. Rod, a freshman from North Douglas High School in Drain, placed first in two of the three meets held this year. To place this high he had to beat out the likes of Tim Williams, a returnee from last year's national champions. But Rod's success does not come as a complete surprise to anyone who has become acquainted with his past record. During his sophomore year in high school he placed seventh in the state cross country meet. He returned to state competition in the spring, doubling in the mile. where he finished fifth, and the two mile. finishing third. Then, as a junior Rod captured his first state championship by •winning the individual championship in cross country. He followed this by winning the mile and placing second in the two-mile in the state class a track meet. Rod's senior year saw him walk away with state titles in cross country (first place), the mile (first place for the second year in a row), and the two-mile (first place). He capped his career at North Douglas by being named the top scholar athlete in the school. These achievements brought him to the attention of track and cross country coaches throughout the state, but he decided to attend Lane because of its proximity to the University of Oregon and because of Lane's previous records of achievement. With a best of 4:20 in the mile, Rod shows the combination of speed and endurance that are a must for competition in the college ranks. According to Coach Al Tarpenning, "Rod compares favorably with the top runners on the team last year at the same stage in their , development. With Tim Williams, Rod gives us a strong one-two punch." The development of the team as a whole this year has closely paralleled Rod's progress: If this continues to be the case, Lane could end the season with a great team and Rod could end his career as one of the top runners the school has ever turned out.
