Student opinion s aired
by Carol Newman •
Although the LCC Board of Education's Wednesday night agenda
was to focus on the ASLCC Budget
and the remodeling of the Center
Building, statements from the audience altered the agenda. About
20 students present dominated the
first hour of the meeting com plaining about ASHLhNE housing in Springfield, and presenting a petition asking that all ASLCC
money be put into dedicated funds.
David Rect ·Fox,formerASLCC
president, congratulated the Board
for following affirmative Action
(a plan to insure the hiring of
minorities and women) in the hiring of Joyce Hops as the new
ssociate Dean of Instruction, but
reminded the Board that it hadn't
taken any action on his proposal
from Fall Term for hiring an
additional Native American counselor. He said he had not received
any information about this since
that time, and that this issue has
been "sidestepped'· by the A.df1inistration.
, Jack Carter, dean of students,
said that unless he was ' ' directed
to hire one more counselor, and
that that counselor must be an
Indian, I doubt that I would do it.''
Carter pointed out that LCC coun·seling staff already has "one Native american male, one Oriental.
male, and one Black female," and
that he would be "reluctant to say
the next hired must be of a certain race or sex."
Ginny allbaugh, LCC student
and ASHL.h.NE tenant, stated that
she had come to the Board to
"talk about the problems that we
(the ASH tenants) are having out

there.''
"Where do I go now? I've talked
to Jonathan West, who has been
designated as the liaison between
the college and aSHLANE, and
Jay Jones (student activities director and ASLCC advisor), but
nobody can help; they say we
(LCC) don't have anything to do
with it."
Friday Jones said that the only
leverage the Board has is the name
Lane. '' ASH Inc. used Lane and
the need of the student body to
justify its existence to Health Education and Welfare."
Board member Catherine Lauris
said that she felt the need "to
establish a regular system of review · by our employees of
ASHLaNE. "
Bob Mention, also a Board member, added, ''_I think we do have
the right to look into how ASH
is being run.' '
Board Chairman Stephen Reid
stated the Board should "review
what rights we have as the Board ...
What obligations do they have to
us? In other words,. how much·
clout do we have?" Dean Carter
answered that if there is any grievance aboutASHLhNE)itwouldhave ,
to be filed through · the Federal
Housing and Urban Development
Agency.

Jerry Edgmon, Student awareness Center (Sn.C) director, added that "we have 17 complaints
(about ASHLANE) in my office.
The buildings themselves are coming apart," and he suggested, "either correct them or remove our
name from the building."
Ms. Allbaugh reiterated, "There
is nobody to complain to but the
managers, who report (the problems) to ASH Inc., who don't give
a damn."
Mention then suggested that '' We
have representatives from ASH
here as soon as possible."
In an interview later, LCC President Eldon Schafer said that the

is "any other way to proceed with
the budgetary process" in order
to speed u p the process in the
future. Mention said that one proposal that he heard was separating some accounts (dedicated
funds). Hood said that he would
look into it.
The Board also reviewed the
proposed timetable for its· 197475 budget deliberations. They decided to postpone a planned May
7 property tax levy election until
it has "all necessary income and
expenditure figures to properly
prepare a budget.

New funds budgeted ,
new senators ratified
Eight aSLCC budget items, totalling $3,165, were adopted at last
Thursday's meeting of the Student
Senate.
The bus token program, sponsored by the Student Awareness
Center (SAC) was allocated $300.
SAC will use this money to sub' sidize the token program and will
also boost the per-token price from
15 cents to 20 cents. b. newly
established Transportation Commission will assume responsibility
for the sale of bus tokens as soon
as· the new commission is rati-

Board of Education has no "legal''
relationship with ASHLA.NE. Schafer felt the Board does want to
talk to the ASH representatives
about the complaints received from
Lane students. He feels it provides '' moral support to the students. . . The Board has heard
one side and rightfully tpey ought
to hear the other.''
Before proceeding with business, Ms. Lauris added, "I understand there is no uniform fee
refund policy; I think we should
have one and have it printed in
the catalog."
In other business, Edgmon
brought to the attention of the
Board a petition that was circulated requesting that' 'all ASL CC
money be removed and placed
into dedicated funds as follows:
Sac Office, $8000; S'1.C Lawyer,
$17,000; SAC Bus Tokens, $10,000;
Health Services, $55,000; Athletics, $25,000."
,Carter, in a memorandum to Dr.
Schafer on .t•eb. 13, stated, "At
this time, it is my position that
it would not be appropriate for the
Board to resp'ond affirmatively
to this petition (because) the amount of money ($ll5,000) specified in the petition is more than
the total a.SLCC budget for 197374." He added that although he The LCC Performing hrts Building, scheduled to be completed by

However, the Senate will be reconsidering an original request

The Senate decided to pay $750
to attorney Robert ackerman, for

WEE KLY
SPEC IALNo Oil Shortage
by Jack Anderson
(Copyright, 1974, by U~ited Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

WASHING TON - Contrary to the
tale being told by government and
industry on the energy crisis, the
Arab oil embargo has nothing to
do with America's fuel shortage.
The truth is that an analysis
of the industry's own statistics
makes it clear that we have enough
oil to last almost eight years,
even if the petroleum under alaska 's north slope is never produced.
The real problem is not oil
supply, but refinery capacity.
Although the oil giants knew
the demand for their produ cts
was increasing dramatically in the
United States over the past 15
years, they built virtually no new
US refineries. It was more profitable, they found, to build refineries abroad, to supply foreign
markets where demand and prices
were growing even faster than in
the United States.
To supply these markets, the oil
companies used crude oil from the
Mideast. This production was subsidlzed by billions of dollars in
tax loopholes granted by the US
government.
In short, the American taxpayer
has been taken to help the oil
companies make billions in the
production and sale of oil everywhere but in the United States.
The major loophole the big companies have used to pile up the
profits is the so-called foreign
tax credit. This tax break, like
other government policies favoring
the oil companies, has been justified as necessary for america's
national security.
But it resulted in the oil companies neglecting to build the refineries that this country so badly
needs, and thus made the shortage
of gasoline and other petroleum
products inevitable. This is the
opposite of nation~! security.
Although the shortage has been
a hardship for the people of the
country, they have proved to be
a bonanza for Big Oil. With the

The Book of Dick
by Art Hopp&
and, lo, it came to pass that there was a man in the land whose
name was Dick; and that man was perfect and upright, and one who
had faith in all things righteous.
And there were born unto him two daughters. His substance
also· was three million dollars, two n.ir Force Ones, a score of helicopters, a flock of limousines, three great white houses, and a very
great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men
of the west.
So blessed was he that the people conferred onto him a Mandate.
Yet, despite his fame and ·wealth and power, he remained a humble
man, eating only the curds of cheese and the essence of the tomato.
and each day he openly offered up within the hearing of one and all
his faith in all things righteous.
and one day, a messenger came unto Dick, and said, Seven of thy
servants have been arrested for burglary in the towers of the Watergate. and Dick hid his shame and bespoke his faith, saying, I have
faith in the righteousness of my servants and, yea, in the righteousness
of The Grand Old Party we serve.
But, lo, it came to pass that his servants were arrested, one by
one, or forced to flee his household. Ja.nd the curse of inflation was
visited upon the land. again, Dick bespoke his faith, saying unto the
people, I have faith in our glorious Free Enterprise System, for
yea, it is as sound as a dollar.
n.nd, lo, the bottom fell out of the dollar.
and in the days that followed, a plague of newsmen swarmed
like the locusts of the field about his three white houses; and, behold,
gossip and rumors broke out upon his image like painful boils. Yet
again did he bespeak his faith, saying, I have faith in our wonderful
system of justice; and, verily, I shall give unto the Judge nine tapes
so that all may know my innocence.
But when the messenger came to carry the tapes unto the Judge,
two had never been and one had been destroyed in part to hide its
contents from the eyes of men. Even those who worshipped The Grand
Old Party turned aside when Dick passed among them and gave him
no comfort.
a.nd Dick yet bespoke his faith, saying, I have faith in the righteousness of the people; I shall go among them speaking with candor;
yea, I shall show unto them the taxes I paid, for I have faith in the
righteousness of the tax collectors; and, verily, I am no crook.
and, lo, it came to pass that the tax collectors accu~d him of
deceit and prepared to tai<:e away his substance . .i.1.nd the people,
hearing this, waxed wrathful and took from him his Mandate..
- His friends, Ab-plan-alp and Re-bo-zo, conspired to seize his
white houses at San Clemente and Key Biscayne for monies owed; and
the leaders of the people prepared to drive him from his white house
in Washington.
Then Dick called unto him the wisest of his sevants, saying,
Why am I, the most righteous and faithful of men, so sorely tried?
And Bil-ly advised him, saying, The Lord giveth, and the Lord
hath taken away; Speak thee unto the Lord.
So Dick went unto the top of a mountain to the Camp of David
and spake unto the Lord, saying, I am the most humble and righteous
of men; Why me, 0 Lord, why me?
And, lo, the heavens parted and a voice of thunder was heard,
saying, Dick, there's just something about you that tees me off.

for part one.)

in civilian affairs was relatively
minor, never serious enough to
prompt preventive legislation.

tion or appointment, and any such
officer accepting or exercising the
functions of a civil office shall at
once cease to be an officer of
the army, and his commission shall
be vacated thereby."
The 1870 provision disqualified
only officers "on the. active list."
However, in 1870 the only list of
officers that there was besides the
"active list" was the "retired
list," which had been created when
the h.ct of kl..Ugust 3,. 1861, for the
first time authorized paid retirement from the army and navy.
There was at that time no provision for transfer from the retired list back to the active list;

While this statute at the time
when it was enacted was reasonably adequate, a century of evolution in the military establishment and. particularly the developments • during the cold war ~ra
have presented challenges to our
constitutional tradition of military
separation and subordination that
this old statute has proved inadequate to handle.

It may also be that respect for
the tradition of separation and subordination of the military remained
great enough on the part of both
military and civilian officers that
· the need for such legislation simply
did not appear.
The Civil War, however, inaugurated a new era for the american
military. Troop strength in the
regular army rose as high as
1.52 million men, and while the end
of the war led to marked reductions, a military establishment
more substantial, more popularly
esteemed, and more disposed toward involvement in matters of
civilian government had been created.

and retired officers, although tech-nically not discharged, typically
performed no continuing role in
the military establishment. Moreover, there was at that time nothing comparable to the moc;iern reserves. Consequently, limiting the
disqualification to those on the

traditional principle which prohibits military influence in civilian
governmental affairs.

To its credit, Congress perceived the new threat to the tradition of military separation and
subordination, and enacted legislation to deal with the problem.
In 1868, Congress provided that any
army or navy officer who accepted
appointment in the diplomatic or
consular service thereby resigned
his military office. b.nd in 1870
Congress enacted that:
'' It shall not be lawful for any
officer of the army of the United
States on the active list to hold
any civil office, whether by elec-

members of the Reserves and

to "accept any civilian position

by enacting the Dual Compensation
Act Congress facilitated the increased employment in civilian

and other persons in the Retired

head of the General Accounting Office, the chief investigative agency
of the Congress, espoused this view
of the Haig matter in a June 15
letter to California Congressman
John E. Moss.

Staff to elect bargaining agent

The upcoming faculty-staff election (Feb. 20) is not a contest
between candidates, but a choice
between affiliates.
Contracted fa c u It y members
working half time or more will
be able to choose between the
American Federation of Teachers (A.FT), the Oregon Education
Association (OEA), and no representation. Classified staff will
vote at the same time between
the AFT and no representation.
{Currently there is no national
organization bargaining for LCC
employees.
In their last legislative session, the Oregon legislature passed
House Bill 2263, which allows for
collective bargaining among community colleges, as well as high
school employees. HB 2263 also
broadened the possible scope of
negotiations to include areas other
than salaries and benefits. Possible areas of negotiation could include class size, workloads, and
educational policies. The two organizations are seeking to represent the employees in collective
bargaining.
Evan alford, English instructor and current LCC Staff Association president, said the time has
come for LCC employees to enlist
the professional assistance of either OEn. or AFT to negotiate with
the administration and the Board
of Education. Maintaining a position of neutrality, il.lford said,
' ' I believe either of the national
orgp.nizations will provide the expertise necessary to get workable to contract with the Board.
He said the administration has
already contacted professional arbitrators to negotiate their side,
but he added that if employees

a

chose "to vote for no representation at all, it would be a mistake.'' Although Alford did not
single out any one particular issue
as a dominant factor, he noted
that negotiations of all areas to
be considered (salaries, benefits,
grievance procedures, educational
policies, etc.) could ·take as long
as two years to iron out.
Charles Bentz, LCC science instructor, who also serves as president of the local chapter of OEA,
cited three main reasons why he
feels OEA. through its local offices would be a better choice:
1) OEa has a larger staff both
at the state and national levels;
2) OEa is a professional teachers'
union; 3) OEA maintains a legal
defense fund which is for teachers who are ·dismissed without
due process or just cause. Bentz
told the TORCH, "I feel OEA will
give us the best assistance in negotiations." However, Bentz added, ''I'm sure that regardles~ of
the outcome of the election, we' re
all working for the best interests
of the students."

her is a poster of a cat dangling from a rope with the caption, "hang in there, baby." According to Diana Taylor, supervisor of the Clinic, the position
assumed by a patient during a
pelvic exam ''is very insecure-it must have been invented by a
man.'
The clinic i, open on Tuesday
and Thursday evenings, begins at
5:30 p.m. with discussion period
in which the staff and patients
candidly discuss methods of contraception, sexual problems, and
A

human reproduction systems. Ms.
Taylor describes the procedure
she will use in giving each patient
a pelvic examination so that the
woman will know what to expect.
After the discussion, each woman is interviewed by a staff member in regard to her personal and
family medical history.
Ms. Taylor is the only clinic
staff member qualified to give
a
pelvic exams--she attended
special family planning practitioner course in New Jersey last
summer.
Most women like the idea of
having another woman give them
pelvic exams. as one patient put
it, "Who can give an exam better than one who has taken the

same exam?''
After Ms. Taylor administers
the pelvic exam, she also takes
time to check the thyroid and
examine the breasts. Ms. Taylor
teaches her patients how to check
their own breasts, and emphasizes
"feeling what's normal for you."
Patients do not generally use paper
gowns because they are expensive,
but gowns are available if patients
request them.
Ms. Taylor emphasizes the importance of the patient being relaxed during the exam, and shows
the patient how to breath deeply
through the mouth and to let their
entire bodies relax.
She then begins the exam, taking
the time to answer any questions
the patient may have. The patient
is given a mirror to enable her
to look at her own cervix. One
woman who recently viewed her
cervix for the first time exclaimed, "Wow, that's really something."

Linda Paseman, a registered
nurse who works with Ms. Taylor
joined with several students in saying the basic philos~p~y of the clinic
is to teach women about their
bodies and to "get away from the
traditional parent-child roles that
are usually played out by doctors
and patients.' ' She feels that'' dealing with fairly young and fairly
healthy people in the medical profession can set the stage for a
person's future dealings with the
medical community."

Ms. Taylor stated that the purpose of the clinic is to deal with
women's problems--contraception
and infection, and to make it as
pleasant as possilbe.

Walter D. Stevens, who is currently showing
his paintings at the LCC art gallery, started painting in the early fiftys.
Stevens' early paintings dealt with landscapes and
nature. It was not until he entered San Francisco
d into other
State College that he began to expan_
stylistic approaches concerning art. hbstract expressionists like de Kooning and Gorky influenced
Stevens as he moved into a more abstract idiom.
For several years, he experimented with paint
application, color, design and light - much of
which resulted in the move towards his present
paintings. It was after entering graduate school at
the University of California in Davis that Stevens
moved from abstract to a more figurative approach.
But even this move incorporated the abstract expressionist ideas of space and paint application,
although he dealt with landscapes and figures in
a more recognizable manner.
Many artists (like Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne
Thigbaun) were dealing with mundane subject matter, such as a kitchen sink, a pie, oz; a bowl of
soup. This influenced Stevens in the choice of
subject matter similarly - in trying to avoid some
kind of stylization, Stevens was concerned with
making a purely objective image of the subject
before him. Eventually, Stevens believes, it became
obvious that objectivity involved making a lot of
subjective decisions about perceptions - such as
does an edge of a form go in one place - or an
inch away? Stevens became aware that as the in-

Mass Com~ Dept. opens new TV studios

by Lesa Carmean

Lane Community College now
has its own television station.
"The facilities are very extensive - as extensive as any college
in the state of Oregon,'' according
to Michael Hopkinson, instructor
Jn the Mass Communication Department.
The LCC facilities Hopkinson
dcl.ers to include two television
studios for staging productions in
front of the camera, and three
control rooms where the productions are pieced together into the
finished program the TV viewer
sees.
LCC also has a direct feed into
Cable TV, channel 10, which means
that programs can be broadcast
direct from the LCC master control room and be seen by those
viewers who are hooked up to cable TV and tuned to channel 10.
The potential audience for LCC
programming is the 27,000 to
28,000 in Eugene who subscribe
to Cable television.
'' We have been puttirg programs
on a sporatic basis over the cable
in the past, but now because we
do have direct access to the cable
we're setting up a whole station
operation," Hopkinson said. ''Theoretically we could tape programs
in the two studios and originate
filmed or taped programs over
the cable at the same time." It
is also possible to broadcast lie
from the TV studio.
Only two programs are currently
being shown by LCC TV on Channel 10. One of these is "Newscene'' on Friday evenings at 7:30-it's a half hour news program.
Half of the program is done by
LCC television broadcasting students, with a focus on LCC news

events, while the other half is
University of Oregon news produced by U of O broadcast journalism students. The actual taping
is done by LCC students at the
Lane facility.
The other regularly scheduled
show is "Sports Rap,'· a half
hour discussion program featuring
people involved in local discussion
program featuring people involved
in local athletics, both from LCC
and the community. It is shown
Tuesdays at 8 p.m.
According to Hopkinson two other shows are currently in the
works. '' People Enterprises Inc."
is a talk show which will feature
interesting people from the community, and "Mama's Kitchen"
will be a cooking show. Both "Mama's Kitchen" and "People Enterprises Inc." are shows created
and conceived by people from the
community. LCC provides the crew
and facilities for the taping of
the programs. Pilot shows have
been taped.

LCC will be actively soliciting
suggestions for programming from
the community. The ideas must be
submitted in writing. They will then
be considered and ·"we will do
those (programs) that we feel have
the highest learning value for our
students," Hopkinson said.
There will be a nominal fee
for supplies, if any at all, Kelley
said. But otherwise there will be

no expenses to the community since
the crews will be composed of
TV broadcasting students and no
lavor fee will be involved.
LCC-TV is currently sharing
air time with the University of
Oregon, which regularly broadcasts on Channel 10 for four hours
in the evenings. The amount of
time LCC- TV will be on the air
will increase as it begins to do
more programming, according to

Kelley.
The Mass Communication Dept.
h~s only been offering degrees
in television broadcasting for three
years, and has had 23 graduates.
''It's a vocationally oriented program,' said Hopkinson, "and the
work that is done as closely as
possible approximates the type of
work students will do when they go
to work in any type of a TV
ope ration.' '
The Department is interested
in improving the quality of program ming and creating a certain
degree of respectability as far
as the technical quality is concerned, said Kelley.
"It's a matter of our establishing professional station operation," said Hopkinson. "The school
and the department are beginning
to realize its potential and are
striving to reach that potential.'·

The school is interested in getting the community to recognize
the station as a medium of com- '
munication which is available to
them, stressed Fred Kelley, an
instructor in the Mass Communication Dept. and the LCC-TV program director. He said the facility can be used to broadcast community news or structured pro-'
grams, and as a focus for dis- ,,..
/
cussing problems and events occuring in the community.
"We're creating this access for
the community to use,'· Kelly said.
"It (TV) is a medium which they
don't have access to through any
other channel."

LCC-TV has been well received
by the local television community according to Hopkinson. "I've
had a news director from one of
the local TV stations say that if
we can give therri some competition in news, then more power
to us. They welcome it. They
have restrictions on the use of
their time, because they're committed to network scheduals, they
have to adhere to their own budgets and they have to make a
profit. They can't do speculative
programming like we can do their product has to be sellable,
ours doesn't. So we have the freedom in programming which they
don't have."

Wrestlers pinned with sixth place
The undermanned Lane wrestling team placed a
disappointing sixth in the conference championships
at Roseburg on Saturday. Lane's seven-man contingent, cut in numbers by injuries and defections,
ran U:p a total of only 47 points compared to Clackamas' winning total of 161 and Umpqua's second
place with 100 1/2.
Murray Booth was one of the only bright stars
in a otherwise lackluster constellation' as he won
the heavyweight division with ease. Booth pinned
his first opponent, Mike Hogland from Gll\ckamas,
in one minute, and took only 29 seconds ltd dispose
of his opposition from Umpqua in the championship match.
The loss of Dave Parks and Mel Johnson just
prior to the meet hurt the Titans irreparably according to coach Bob Creed. "The loss of Parks
cost us 12 points--he would have won it/'said Creed ..
Parks wrenched his knee in practice on Tuesday.
Mel Johnson quit the team last week because of
personal reason::;, said Creed.
' ' We wrestled as well as we could. We took
three people down that wrestled second-varsity
all year," reasoned Creed. a.rlen Rexius placed

second in the 142 pound weight class and, according to Creed, could have done even better: "The
guy he (Rexius) was wrestling got him into a cradle
and was cutting off his air . . . hrlen didn't get
pinned as much as he just passed out. I guess the
referee didn't catch it,' ' said Creed. ,
The Titans travel to Bend next week for the
regional meet. The meet will involve schools from
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and perhaps Montana
and alaska. Creed is not over-optimistic about
Lane's chances. "If we firiish , seventh or eighth
I will be happy,'' said Creed. Fourteen to sixteen teams will compete in the meet. The exact
number will not be known until the match according
to Creed.
Creed feels that of all the Titans Booth has the
best chance of going on to the Nationals. "Murray
was complaining of a sore neck but I think that he
w1ll be ready to go," said Creed. The regional
meet will be held in Bend Thursday and Friday.
These two days were chosen, according to Creed,
because of the fuel shortage. Top qualifiers from
the regional .meet will travel on to Worthington,
Minnesota for the Nationals to be held Feb. 29-31.

gas station line-up for convenience or popularity. Cheryl Ii~
Bates, a Lane student and member of the Titan women's track
team sees it differently.
At 9 a.m., rain, cold or wind Cheryl can be found beating
\lllll
$[ a path around the running track or along the roads. '' It is part
ti of my life, part of my daily routine," said Bates, "I would like
ffl to go to the Olympics someday ... and it takes hard work,' she
illl •added wistfully. She begins by running µer morning workout whi~h is usu~lly
mi
:m five to eight miles. "I don't get in as many miles when I work
on the track,'.? she said, ''usually only about 4 or 5 .. -~1 don't
really enjoy the morning workouts but I feel like I have accomp@ lished something.'' Next she heads for classes. While carrying
mI 18 credit hours, she spends most of the day there, until basketMI ball practice. Cheryl (her father, Dale, is the coach of Lane's
j\;l;lj varsity men's team) plays basketball with the same attitude
:lii her running displays. "Basketball is fun. I run before basketball
though, becuase my running comes first," she stated.
Running and basketball have many similar aspects. Both
!l !
11l1l take conditioning and tremendous amonts of practice. Cheryl
] mixes these ingredients and turns them to attibutes. It is not
fI\ uncommon for an opposing player to be cruising un-molested
towards the basket for an easy lay-up and suddenly have Cheryl
mI sprint up beside her to knock the ball away, much to the surprise
of the amazed oppositiono
Cheryl's speed is apparant but she would like to improve
1\I\l
11:\\l on it with still more running. She said, "With basketball and
!\1i a fun load of studies it ·is hard to run two times a day, I plan
to start, however, when basketball is over.'' She will add more
iii mileage to a weekly total already equaling the distance to Salem.
Finally, Cheryl heads for home or one of her father's

Lane title hopes disappear
By Steve Busby

LCC basketball coach Dale Bates
knew the team had to win at least
two of the three games they played
last week in order to get into
the play-offs. and as a result
the Titans' chance for going to the
playoffs is now virtually nil.
Lane opened this week's action
by hosting the Central Oregon
Community College Bobcats in a
game the Titans had to win to
keep a realistic chance of finishing in the top five. The final outcome - a 74 to 67 loss -practically eliminated the Titans from
any post-season action.
Things started out wrong for
Lane when Rob Smith comitted
his first foul with less than one
minute gone in the game. The foul
came when he tried to ·stop the

oawieg L

0

Bobcats' Wilber Warren from
moving towards the basket. Warren was stopped this time - but
it didn't happen often.
Warren finished the first half
with 12 points and 6 rebound as he
dominated play for the first period.
Warren was little short of awesome
in the first five minutes of play,
scoring 10 points and sweeping
4 rebounds from the ceiling beams.
Forward Mike Reinhart tried to
stay with Warren, and - despite
giving up 2 1/2 inches and more
than that in leaping ability - did
a creditable job. Reinhart tossed
in 10 points during the first half,
mainly in the early going, to keep
the Titans in the game.
The second half saw Central
Oregon use hot shooting, they ended up hitting 34 of 71 for .479
percentage while holding Lane to

ie1tinge1t

26 of 72 for a cooler .361 percentage from the field for the game.
Trailing 33 to 30 at the half
the Titans stayed with the Bobcats until about six minutes were
gone in the half. ht that point
Central Oregon hit three quick
buckets and moved into an eight
point lead. They were never seriously threatened again.
Reinhart poured in 23 points to
lead the Titans while Steve Osterman was dropping in 22 mainly
off quick drives to the basket,
to top the Bobcats.· Warren added
19 for Central Oregon.
Rob Smith, normally the top
scorer for Lane, couldn't shake
free under the basket and was
held to only 13 for the night, well
below his 20 point per game average.
Friday night the Titans met the
Umpqua Community College Timbermen with the goal of reversing
an earlier loss at Umpqua. They
did it, 74 to 58, with the aid of
three reserves and another fine
performance by Mike Reinhart.
The game started like it was
going to go right down to the wire.
With six minutes gone Umpqua
held a two point lead and had
the ball. The Timbermen called
time out to figure out what to do
with it.
But whatever they decided, it
was wrong. During the next five
minutes the Titans outscored the
Timbermen 14 to 6 to jump out
to a 24 to 16 lead. In that burst
Mike Reinhart pumped in three
jumpers and added two free throws.
Both teams traded baskets until
the halftime break with Lane going
to the dressing room owning a
32 to 25 advantage.
Reinhart dropped infourbaskets
in a row to open the second half
as Lane moved out to a 49 to
30 lead, helped along by five fouls
in a row by Umpqua.
Lane never looked back as Tim
Yantis came off the bench to pump
in eight points and grab six rebounds in the second half. Layne
Murdoch added seven more in the
final period for the Titans.
Mike Reinhart again led the
Titan, accounting for 20 points.
Rob Smith, fighting foul trouble
throughout most of the game, finished the game with eight points,
his lowest point total this season.

Saturday night Lane traveled to
Albany to take on the Linn-Benton
Roadrunners. After the game they
must have wondered if they should
have shown up. The Roadrunners
ripped the Titans 95 to 53 in what
Coach Bates called one of the
Titans worst games of the season.
Cold Shooting and lack of hustle
on defense were cited as the keys
to Lane's poor showing. "We worked the ball pretty well in the first
half and had good shot selection,'
said Bates, "but the ball just
wouldn't go down. Then we didn't
get back on defense and they killed
us with a lot of cheap baskets.' '

An_SWel"s ·given on drugs
bf Sandi Fitts

n.s long as people continue to use drugs,
information must be available so that drug
use will be more responsible, according to
Mark Miller, director of the Drug Information Center (DIC) at the U of O.
Miller said drQg use is a major health
concern and people are being hurt by drugs
because so little is known about how or
why they affect the body.
The DIC is primarily a prevention
agency - an information and education facility. It is not a crisis center, Miller
said. It was begun in the spring of 1972
as a student service, but within six rrionths
it had expanded so fast, and served such
a large area, that it w.as soon funded by the
federal government, Lane County, and the
city of Eugene, with some money provided
by incidental student_ fees from the U of O.

'-

The drug analysis is propably the center's best known service, Miller said.
It provides free and anonymous quantitative and qualitative chemical analysis of
all drugs. hccording to Miller, this service is not limited to illicit drugs. He
said about half the drug analysis requests
are for prescription drugs. Many times
people are unaware of what they are taking
becquse they don't ask their physician(wl11.~n
he/she prescribes medicine) if the drug
will cause any unusual side effects or if
it shouldn't be taken with other medications.
By calling 686-5411, (the drug analysis
is strictly a phone-in service) . giving the
name of the p·r escription and any other
DIC staff mempertinent information,
ber will look up the drug and tell the caller
any precautions that should be takenforits
use.
To find out what a drug is or if it
has been altered, a person must call DIC,
identify what the drug is purported to be,
the drug's form (liquid, capsule, powder,
tablet) the color, marking, price paid.
The DIC also inquires about side effects
of the drug - if it has already been ingested. The caller is then given a code
number, told how to package a sample of
the drug, and where to send it.
DIC does not handle the drugs, a lab
in Palo alto, Calif. does the actual analysis and airmails ·the results back to Eugene in four to nine days. The results of each
individual analysis and the code number that
corresponds are then posted.

a

The center also maintains communications with private, regional and national
programs and facilities engaged in -drug
analysis or research. It has the use of
four computer facilities, eight libraries, and
sixteen consultants.
Last year it set up an information booth
at the Renaissance Faire and in a fourday period there were · 3,500 requests for
information on drugs . . This year they plan
to sponsor a booth at both the Renaissance
Faire and the Lane County Fair, to be able
to reach
large cross-section of people.
The center's trained staff consists of
three full-time and 12 part-time paid employees. The pub Ii c services offered
through the center include drug analysis,
a class in drug education (which examines .
the. US's multi-faceted drug use pattern)
a complete pharmacological library (with
the latest periodicals and publications, library loans and drug information books
written by the center available to the public
·'
at cost).

react. after this was done, he removed
the skil) from the left leg so that tQe
muscle could be seen when he again applied electric shock to the frog.
at this point I left the class. I am not
a squeemish---person, but I could see no
reason for this type of graphic display.
as far as I know, no student in my class
performed this experiment. However, in
the class before, the students did the procedure as outlined above. Knowing full well
of the abi.l ity of beginning biology students, I am sure there was a frog or two
that did not have the pain center completely
severed when the front portion of the head
was removed. .
i\.t this point I would like to suggest
an alternative to this live demonstration.
If an instructor feels that there is indeed
an educational purpose to be fullfilled
by such an experiment, he could have a
video-tape made of the experiment by the
study skills personnel that handle this
type of instruction. Then the video-tape
could be shown to the students on the television sets that are available here at the
school. This would be a more viable alternative than what is being done now in
these biology classes.

Pu~licizing, .update
go·a / of ·committee
o·n special fees
"The existence of special fees makes
possible courses which could not be offered otherwise and many are reimbursements for costs incurred by these courses
over and above tuition,'' said i\.ssociate
Dean of Instruction Jim Piercey.
hlthough dissemination of information
regarding special fees has not been emphasized in the past, a recent motion by
the college's special fees committee will
attempt to both update the policy concerning special fees and publicize their
existence, Piercey said.
according to Piercey, special fees are
required ·for some courses in almost every
department and are either placed in a
revolving fund,. where the income derived
is tabulated, or into the college general
fund for low-enrollment classes, where any
difference between the iricome and expenses is•absorbed.
Classes for which special fees are required may have the course tuition deferred, but the required special fee must
be paid at the beginning of the term,
said Henry Douda, LCC's instructional
budget officer. This allows both the department chairman and the instructional
budget otficer to gauge term activities in
the course and adjust them according to the
projected income. Douda said in some classes, · chemistry and air technology for· example, the special fee is partially re- •
fundable. In others, especially physical ed-.
ucation courses like bowling and skiing,
the special fees are turned over directly ,
to the facility involved and also used to
cover the cost of transportation. In so doing,
these courses receive a special group
rate which is considerably lower than individual rates.
• as yet, there are no definite plans to
increase special fees en masse although
certain courses--welding in particular-will almost certainly have to have increased fees due to the fact that "the
department budgets are insufficient to cover costs," Piercey explained.

Was the hiring of Joyce Hops
as LCC's associate Dean of Instruction fair and equitable? This
is the question being bandied around by campus employees lately, male and female alike.
The opening of the position oc. curred during an administrative
shift created by President Eldon
Schafer when he recommended that
Gerald Rasmussen be advanced
to the office of Dean of Instruction leaving an opening in his
for~er office of Associate Dean of
