There are several areas in which the Womens'
Studies instructor, if pai°d for the work, could contribute
to the quality of education at Lane. For instance, the
library needs to be kept up to date on the good books
being produced. Instructors should be paid for time at
meetings on womens issues on campus. There should
be time available for consultation with other staff on
curriculum changes. And there should be time available for extra office hours where people in the program
turned on to the new ways of looking at life, can come
for feedback.
Now, instead of realizing the necessity of these
changes. the administration is cutting down on the
funds available jo our department, encompassing ethnic and womens' studies. This is not a new development, as ethnic minorities have been discriminated
against since this country began. Women have been
discriminated against since post-primitive times for
being women. It shouldn't surprise us, but it is
something to note and struggle against.

Although Tykeson claims he isn't
'vithdrawing the offer to sell KVDO, he is
looking at other possibilities. President'
Eldon Schafer has said the proposed
consortium will consider "getting someone
else to be the grantee to.take the burden off
lane." This does not come as a surprise ,
considering the Board's delaying action, as
Schafer had been searching for substitutes
for LC(' in the proposed acquisition of
KVDO since early January: He said it
became evident the local community might
not understand or support the proposal.
Schafer now hopes an alternative
proposal can be ready for the Board by its
next regularly scheduled meeting Feb. 12.

KVDO : still in the air

The LCC Board of Education is
presently facing one of the most controversi a I and far reaching decisions in its
10-year history--the possible acquisition of television station KVDO in Salem.
TJ,is move is seen by many as
controversial due to the added demands it
would put on an already floundering (over
$250,000 deficit) school .budget. Additionallv. the television station is located over 60
miics from LCC's main campus.
Yet, it is far reaching due to the nature
of the acquisition. If LCC completes an
agreement with KVDO's owners the
college would act as the organizational
head of a consortium of public agencies·
st riving to develop new educational for- ·
mats.
The scene at the end of last week's
meeting showed the e~tire audience-both in support of the acquisition and in
exacerbated
opposition--thorough_ly
\\'ith the Board's lack of decisiveness, and
1he Board itself unable to even decide
\\'h en it could next meet for the purpose of
corning to a decision.
Most members of the audience of 80,
many of whom had given testimony or
statements to the Board. openly questioned the Board's delay--most of them
felt the Board had enough information at
hand and should come to a decision.
It was Board Member Richard Freeman \\'ho set the final stage.
"I move- -to table this matter ... "

audience and tense Board sat stunned.

Last week, the only instructor of Womens' Studies
at LCC quit in protest ov:er part-time pay. Full-time
instructors receive approximately $900 per course,
whereas part-time instructors receive $600, for the
same amount of work. Part time instructors receive no
no health insurance or benefits.
As jobs are hard to find, and this work is·
interesting, I have accepted this position. This term,
there are three classes: two Womens' Studies 101 and
one seminar, so the pay at $193 per course is adequate
to live on. But next term, due to the financial situation
of the Interdisciplinary Studies Department, I am to
have only one course. Everyone knows it is hard to live
on $193 per month before taxes.
It is assumed that part-time teachers are working
for extra income, or "pin money," as it is often referred
to when women are teaching part time.
But this is not the case in our department.
I, for instance am forced to work at two jobs to keep
myself and family going. This leaves me little time or
energy for the extras that the Womens' Studies
program could allow.

The Board has in turn
delegated that responsibility to the Media
Commission.
Peterson• s role is to advise and to
make sure editors are aware of the
ramifications of the newspapers content
and policies.
Peterson isn't happy when he sees
mistakcs--thc editor and staff may go in
a different direction than he advises . But
even then. the staff as a whole must agree
with the decision.
Peterson pointed out that it takes
"about 300 percent more energy to
produce a newspaper this way than to
produce it in a classroom setting.''
The Commission consists of four
students. three staff members, one member-at-large. and a non-voting secretary. along with the Mass Communication
Department Chairman and publication
advisers and editors.
The Commission develops policies but
is not involved in the day-to-day operation of the TORCH.

With only 12 people showtng up for
the second meeting. the LCC Student
Union recognized increased participation
as one of its top priorities.
• Although no concrete moves to increase student attendance were initiated,
the Union charter was amended in the hope
of creating greater efficiency. Whereas the
original charger had specified there would
be no central figurehead. the majority of
those in attendance agreed there should be
an official spokesperSOI) for the Union, as .
well as a secretary and_ a treasurer.
The group then filled each of these
positions and defined the scope of their
responsibilities and duties by amending
Item 2 of the charter to read:
a. The spokesperson is limited to
conveying official Student Union policy and
chairs all meetings of the Union.
b. The Treasure~ will receive an d
distribute funds directed by the majority
vote of the Union. and will keep a written
record of all transactions.
c. The Secretary shall keep a written
record of minutes of each meeting concc!·ning issues _and votes, have minu_tes
prmtcd and avatlable for the next meetmg
and assist in disseminating information.
d. All the above positions are subject
to removal and replacement at any time by
a majority vote of the Union members in
attendance at a meeting.

Americans eating too much meat
h~ Jan Brown

''The average American man and
woman eat twice as much protein in the
form of meat as their bodies need"
states Carol Easton, assistantprofessor
of Home Economics.
"One way Americans can adapt to
the soaring food prices is to eat lower
on the food chain--that means having
a 2 oz. serving of meat once a day,
and using less expensive protein sources
such as peanut butter, cheese or beans
to round out your protein needs'' she
explained. "And having some meatless
days--eating instead grains, nuts,
legumes and dairy products which are
all excellent sources of protein.'
E a s t on . emphasized the importance of variety in one's diet. "Keep
the Basic 4 food groups in mind- meats, grains, fruits and

vegetables, and dairy products, eating
at least one item from each group daily,
but don't make it the same food every

sist change in their diet. They are
content to eat the same foods day after
day."
Easton plans to submit some sug-i
gestions to the cafeteria's menu planning
segment, which is asking for ideas as
they revamp the entire menu. Carol's
suggestions will be toward "less meat
and more variety."
Clara Pierce, writing for the Saturday Review World, estimates that 30
percent of the hmerican food dollar is
spent on '' junk food' that is high in
calories, fats and sugar and almost
devoid of nutrition which may partly'
explain why 1 in 3 hmericans is overweight.
The price we pay for this selfish
luxury is high--America's "total yearly

managers. and their staffs, according to
t-hc Media Commission Guidelines.
The paper has a faculty adviser and a
publications secretary whose salaries are
paid by the college. Pete Peterson,
journalism instructor. is the adviser, and
·Karen Ault is the publications secretary.
Peterson, speaking about the autonomous position of the . newspaper said,
•'There aren't many community college
newspapers in the state actually edited by
students. School boards view newspapers
differently. Some community college
boards treat the college newspaper as a
junior high publication. I'm proud that the
LCC Board of Education has granted the
editor of the TORCH complete autonomy in
the way the newspaper is run and in terms
of editorial "on tent.
•'This places the responsibility on the
shoulders of the students. They can only
blame themselves for inaccurate or ineffective news coverage. There is no
publications class to produce the newspaper. There is no instructor. to censor.
When the TORCH makes a blunder,
student editors have to take their lumps.
That's why the experiei:ice is valuable-it's not a classroom exercise," he concluded.

unbelievable roster of diet-linked illnesses is growing rapidly,' Pierce continued. "Heart disease is still America's
number one killer and is directly related to improper diet as is diabetes,
obesety, anemia, hypoglycemia and even
retardation' concluded Clara Pierce.
There are many psycological aspects
_a s t o n brought
concerning food,
'' Men often don't like fruits and

vegetables but are traditionally big meat
eaters. This dates back to the days when
the women tended the fields while man
was the hunter, bringing home the meat.
In this same light, milk, the food that
satisfies man's first hunger pangs, is
associated with comfort."
"Man's diets are often determined
by what is socially acceptable,"'Easton
cqntinued, '' steak and potatoes is the
American epitome of a perfect dinner,
but some South hmerican natives consider catepillars _and insects true delicacies, while Eskimos eat whale blubber
and fish intestines enjoying every bite!''

Musicians standing in a circle ringing
a leader sitting busy with a score, all as
easy and intense as professionals earning
their bread. Some wander free and alone,
spilling their scales and runs, while others
talk and joke with the same mercurical
energy that they play, .and suddenly--harcly having heard a count-off--w e
sec them all come in tight and powerful on
a moving passage of sure delight. The
leader claps. snaps. and motors the band,
then lets them go while.he listens--then
stops them, telling them what he heard so
they'll know what they're playing.
"OK. OK, get it tight, brass, it's gotta

Jazz and chamber:
minds meeting·

Jazz and chamber music, often considered musical opposite; by critics, will be
treated as cousins Jan. ~1 in a jazz/chamber concert at LCC.
The concert, called "A Meeting of the
Minds," is free and begins at 8 p.m. in the
LCC Performing Arts Theatre. Musicians
·will be performance studies instructors,
with a prelude provided by student
ensemble groups.
Concert coordinator ~arbara Myrick, a
piano teacher, said the performance is
designed to show how. classical and jazz
music relate to each other. The musicians
will begin by playing a·l ternating classical
and jazz pieces, then wi11 gradual1y
combine the two musical forms until it
becomes difficult to tell them apart.
Some of the selections incluJe "Syrinx"
for flute duo, by Clau4e Debussy; ''Barn
yard Blues" for Dixieland band; Sonata in
C for bassoon and harp~ichord, by Johann
Friedrich Fasch; "Bye, ,By.e Blackbird" for
jazz trio, "Charlie R~tledge" for vocal
solo, by Charles Ives,. Allegro for flute,
clarinet and bassoon, by Walter Piston;
"Ouodlibet" for piano, bass and percussion. arranged by G~.ry Ruppert; and
"Eres Tu", by Calderon/Hawke r.
Auditions for nearly ~300 in scholarship
money. to be distributed among five
members of the Syrnph_onic Band, will be
held Feb. 4 in the .Performing Arts
Department instrumen~al room at 5 p.m.
·rhrcc scholarships of $100 and one of
$90 will be awarded _by the Musicians
Union Local 689, and pne scholarship of
$100 will be awarded bY, the UofO Cultural

The public may atten:d , free of charge.

Total theatre':
arts uniting

The Open Eye. founded by Obie
award-winning choreographer and director Jean Erdman, and internationally renowned author, Joseph Campbell, is an
association of actors, dancers, designers
and musicians dedicated to the creation
and production of works of what reviewers
have called "total theatre." The idea
behind this art is to unite music, dance,
dramatic action and song.
The Repertory will present three ot
W. B. Yeats' one act.plays of differing
moods which revolve around a single
theme: "A Full Moon in March," "The
Cat and the Moon." and "The Only
Jcalousv of Erner." The characters and
settings are of Irish epic and folk legend.
The unifying theme is of the full-moon
night as symbolic of life's culmination.

The Repertory will perform Sundav.
Feb. 2. at 8 p.m. in Bea.II Hall at the Uo(O
School of Music. Tickets are on sale at the
EMU Main Desk. Student tickets are
$2.50 and non-student tickets are $3.50.
In addition to the full concert performance. the Repertory will conduct two
workshops on Friday, Jan. 31. Master
classes in advanced dance will be held by
Erdman in dance studio 353 and 354,
Gcrlingcr Annex, from 4 tQ 6 p. rn. There is
a limit of 75-80 students, space permitting. A lecture demons~ration will be held
in 167 EMU from 10 to 12 p.m. This will be
an informal presentation by members of
the company narrated by Erdman. The
techniques of "total theater" will be
dis<..·usscd \.Vith excerpts from works in
progress. A question and answer period
, will follov,:.

Whalers wailing

(EARTH NEWS)--Live rock music

this spring by whale conservation groups to
drive endangered whales away from Soviet
and Japanese fishing fleets.

group, and Canada's Greenpeace Foundation are co-sponsoring the campaign, to
be called Stop Ahab. As many as five boats
and ships will sail out in front of whaling
fleets this spring, playi~g rock music--much of it live--to warn whales away
before they can be killed.
A spokesperson for Project Jonah
notes. "Just like humans, whales prefer
live to rcc6rded music."
For more information, call Project

Lovers listening
(EARTH NEWS)--Syntonic Research.
maker of environmental records is about to
release a new long-player which the
company describes as the "perfect sound
for lovemaking."
The record is called ''The Ultimate
Heartbeat" and features the sound of a
\\'Oman's pulsating heart for 20 minutes.
The firm says a woman's heart was used
because it "works best. .. it's slower than
a man'-;."

All this "action" lends the same reality of
vocation to the music "department" that
LCC's ·t\\'o-ycar programs enjoy. but
\\'hich in theory is lacking in the transfer
programs for four-year schools. Aitken
and tho other musicians sec LCC as a
meeting place where musicians can come
for some serious playing. or just to have
fun \\'ith it.
Pat Vandehey, Jim Stinett, Dave Peck,
and John Metcalf arc just a few of Aitken 's
students \vho have benefited from the
musician's union's local chapter's "trust
fund" concerts. These are usually on
~.-ol lcge campuses or other ''concert''
situations" for which t_qe union itself pays
the wages.
Vandehey says (as the others nod their
heads): "The trust fund is collected from

record sales union members make and
allotted to chapters throughout the country
so the live music. and the free live music
\\·on't be S\\'allowcd up by the record
industry."
Q: "Well, ego asipe,.how do you see
~·ourself as being so different from other
stage band leaders in the area?"
A: •Tm just in a different place.
They don't know what jazz is really doing
these days. they're not into it. As a result
they ruin \\'hat potential they might ·have
by putting the spotlight on themselves
instead of developing the music, and as
result the music ain't there. But you know,
I could care less about that 'glory'. I try to
let the students find out and develop their
o\\'n potential. as section members and
-.;oloists--and I'm in a position to do it."
His other students and I are in a
position to agree.

Simulcast smashing success.
by Lisa Farque

There was "standing room only" at
the Simulcast on Jan. 19 when the LCC lab
bands performed in the broadcast recording studio in the Forum Building.
The two groups, composed of students
from the college's laboratory bands, with
their conductor, Gene Aitken, drew an
enthusiastic audience that was not discouraged by the limited seating.
The simulcast was a cooperative
simultaneous live broadcast between
KLCC Radio and PL-j TV. This was the
first at LCC for these musicians.
According to Aitken, both radio and
television are good media for bands of this
kind.
The music which Aitken described as
"for a listening audiern::e" (instead of for
dancing) included a song dedicated to Joe
Maini, a jazz musician who met a tragic
death playing Russian roulette, and other
selections by Herbie Hancock, Woody
Herman. and Richard Rodgers.
The lab bands, according to Aitken,
have quite a following. They play loc~I
concerts including those at area high
schools. But the conductor expressed a
need for more on-campus publicity and
support for what he calls the ''public
relations job" that these bands perform.
Aitken feels that the jazz groups give the
college a good reputation because they
reflect the professional quality of the music
program. According to Aitken, the TORCH has
been slack in its coverage of musical events
at LCC. He mentioned that the general
feeling of members of the music program is
that in the past the TORCH ,was ''not
concerned with its own constituency,''
sacrificing publicity for college events to

devote space to "world affairs."
Some personnel from Aitken's lab
bands have gone on to form professional
groups such as Sweet Release,. Bailey Hill
Farm, The Mark Williams Quintet, and the
John Metcalf Quartet--indicating the
commitment and skills of the musicians in
the program.
The Lab Bands will perform another
simulcast on Feb. 23 at the recording
studio in the Forum Building at 8 p.m.
This will again be broadcast live over
KLCC Radio and PL-3 TV. Before this
event is a jazz concert in the Cafeteria of
the Center Building on Feb. 6 at 2 p.m. and
a concert in the Performing Arts Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. on Fe~. 21.

presenting material ou~side of the forbidden legislative bodies.
"How much effect can a finding have
it if doesn't make an impact on the people
who are making the decision'• points out
Monty King. LCC OSPIRG member. "We
want to be able to present our research to
the people who need it."
The LCC public is invited to attend the
meeting.

Titans win again!

Lane Communit!· C~)llcgc proved itself
im·incihle in the first round of the Oregon
Cnmmunit~· College Athletic Association
b;t..,kl'thall competition. The Titan's downl'd Clackamas and Clatsop Community
Colleges this weekend t,o give Lane a 9-0
conference mark and the sole position of
Number I in the OCCAA.
Linn-Benton Community College is a
full two games behind Lane for sccoJ1d
place as it wrapped up the first half with a ·
7-2 record.
The Titan's \\'altzcd by last place
Clackamas at Orc-gon City Friday night in
an 80 to 60 romp. but were forced to
',LTamhlc. and ttnally rally over Clatsop
74-71 at Astoria Saturday,
"They really out--:-piaycd us," said
Lane Coach Dale Bates of the bout with
eighth place Clatsop. "We came through,
though. and that's the mark of a good ball
club . . . we'll take the win."
Clatsop had Lane ~ottlcd up from the
start. and early in the second half claimed a
1J point lead over the Titans. But finally
Greg Anderson. Greg MacKay. Robbie
Smith. Mike Reinhart. and Davy Ohmer
started to work together and come back.
Along with Smith's 26 points, Mac Kay
started to hit and scored 8 of his 12 points
in a finishing flurry. Anderson was scoring
right beside him with 15 points, while
Ohmer and Reinhart were niaking it all fit
together. With about two minutes left in
the game. Reinhart capped the rally with a
field goal and LCC was ahead at last. In all
of the excitement that followed, Anderson
\\'as fouled. and san~ two free throws to put
Lane up by three.
Clatsop answered with a field goal of
its mvn. and as time started running out
Lane was clutching a one point lead . . . .
The Titans inbounded the ball, broke down
court. and held on. At the buzzer Greg
Anderson hit another field goal and Lane
stoic it. 74 to 71.

toward the purchase of it's own
i¥l:·~lairplane, according to club advisor
===~~~~Gene Parro. It's looking for a "low

Hourly flying fees would be fur~}~;t~Tui~ther reduced if the cl.ub owned its

Perhaps Kelly Graham docsn 't bdong
at LCC anvmore: Usually his kind arc
reserved ft)i· universities, like the U of O or
OSU. \\'here all the other seven-foot
highjumpers go. And when Graham
arched over the seven foot bar Jan. 11 at
the Junior College Indoor Invitational
Track & Field meet at Seattle. he became
one of the fc\\' jumpers to do so. If he docs
it much more. he may jump right out of his
league.
Graht1m's jump sh~tttercd Lane's previous indoor highjump record by six inches
and \\'Oil him the meet. The outdoor record
i'.'-. 6'10 1/ 1". which Graham set last year and
\\'ill probably break again this yca·r.
"I set goals before each season." said
Graham and added with a little confidence
"this ~·car I'm trying for 7'2"."
Kelly jumped for Crater High School
in Oregon and won the AAA State Track &
Field competition in 1973 with a jump of
6'6" his senior year. Then he came to Lane
la-;t vcar. broke both the indoor and
outd<;or highjump records and leaped his
\\'av to 7th in the nationals with a jump of 6'
tQi/ 2 ". After his jump ;it Seattle, Graham
\\'as invited to compete against some of the
world's best highjumpers, including world
record holder Dwight Stones, in the
Portland Invitational Track & Field meet
Jan. 25. but a tender ankle got in his way.
He should be in good shape, however,
when the regular season starts in March.
! • I feel healthy and l feel stronger this year,
too; and I'm working harder."
At least one small school in- California
is looking at Graham already. but Kelly
figures he'll have to clear the 7-foot bar at
least two more times before he's in a real
demand. If he docs, he said ''I'll just look
at the offers. if I get any at all. I'd jump for
Oregon if they gave m~ a scholarship, but
then. I was looking for a little warmer
climate."

The LCC women's basketball team
moved one step closer to winning the
tournament title with a thrilling 53 to 50
overtime victory against Mt. Hood Community College Tuesday night.
The game was tense with excitement
as Ellen Downey. in foul trouble in the first
half. was forced to the bench: Her return
to the game sparked the Titans as she
broke the LCC all-time scoring record of
•
25 points by sinking 31 points.
The game had a slow start with the
Titans leading at half~time, 33 to 19.
With Downey in foul trouble early in the
game. Coach Debbie Daggett changed the
plan of attack. Tension mounted as Mt.
Hood came from behind to tie the score at
44 as the clock ran out, forcing an
overtime.
Coach Daggett said her team "showed
great patience, maintained composure,
and followed instructions" during the
overtime. "This effort . . . gave them
the victory" she declared.
