// 'J heal th 7:5 aa~ea~1 Februa,Y . Peggy Graber ~arbar~ Connely , Health Services This is the second ~f a continuing series d~aling with health-related issues. '.fhis column can serve as a warning system for current local illnesses. A main focus will be on answering any medical questions you may have. We want vour suggestions, questions, and criticisms. The most common hyalth problem at this time of year is usually the flu. This year, the flu is incapacitating a great many people locally, aI].d is widespread in the Eastern US. - There were 1,300 cases of what is called the Port Chalmers flu reported to the Oregon ·Health Division for the week ending February 1. Here at LCC, the HeaJth Services treated 580 cases of respiratory infections during Fall Term, and the incidence of this disease is now increasing. Each year, the virus .which causes the flu modifies somewhat. This year a distjnct strain first surfaced in the Port Chalmers, New Zealand area. This kind, unfortunately, seems to be particularly resistent to treatment. The best measures tq take in dealing with the flu are bed rest and drinking lots of fluids. Since the flu is caused by a virus, antibiotics do no good. There is no pill or shot that can cure the flu . Some me~ications may relieve symptoms; but don't be fooled into thi.nking that you are cured. You still need plenty of rest in order to get well. Your chances of no~ getting the •flu are higher if you normally observe good preventive health measures--good nutrition and adequate sleep. 1r(())IP?.CIHI §1rAlrf editor associate editor news editor feature editor Rick Bella Mike Mclain Jan Brown Mike Heffley ·photo editor Ed Rosch sports editor Kelly Fenley gd manager· Mike Abbott production Linda Cuyler Shauna Pupke feature writer Kathy Craft reporte-rs Cindy Hill .

Weekend proves productive for Vets by Mike McLain A CHAUTAUQUA AT ,BRYANT PARK, ALBANY -- EARLY ,THIS CENTURY Fifth annual Chautauqua this Thursday by Jan Brown . A bygone era of call~opes, clowns, and traveling shows will be r:eborn for a night at the fifth annual Lane c;ounty Chautauqua on Feb. 13. The local Chautauqua (Cha-ta-qua) which is being presente:;d by The Committee for the Performing Arts at the Lane · County Fairgrounds, is patterned after the original Chautauqua of _the late 1800's. The Committee, composed of 25 dedicated members, has revived the Chautaqua to provide an outlet for local talent and artists and also to raise funds to purchase a grand piano for the Laf\e County Auditorium Association. The first Chautauquil in 1874 was an outdoor summer session held at Lake Chautauqua, New York.. It lasted several days, mingling religious training with music and recreation. This was America's first attempt to use vac~tions for education and cultural advancement. The idea was a success, and within a few years there were ma~y "Chautauquas" traveling regular circuits throughout the country during the summer months. The traveling groups were supported by the admission fees they collected at each per-: formance. In Oregon,. the Chautauquas were held at Gladst9ne, Albany and Ashland. The format expande~ to include public affairs and soon politicians began to make regular appearances at ,the gatherings. Accordin_g to Helen Jones, committee member, William Jennings Bryant was once paid $2,500 to spe3:k at a Chautauqua. x! Like the Chautauqua of the past, this one will offer entertainment for all agcs--from preschool to oldster. ··It will be a co-mingl_ing of all elements of the community.·· Jor:ies explained. A real clown (a former Parisian model), a magic show and a puppet theatre will especially delight the children. A mime circus and a barbershop quartet will also perform. The program will ~nclude "musical selections and recitations"; Priscilla Lauris. LCC speech instructor, will be featured in this part of the program. Although a Chautauqua was never held in Eugene. an Oregon Trail Page<1-nt was an annual event here. Each year a queen was selected to reign during the pageant. The I 937 "Queen Suzannah," Le Vonne Le Dahl Taylor of Sacrap1ento, will be a '>pecial guest at this ye~r's Chautauqua. Another honored guest will be Jane Thatcher. 99, wife of _W.F.G. Thatcher, author of the original "Oregon Trail . Pageant.'' The show will incluqe a variety of exhibits, etchings, antiq~e and ragamuffin dolls. senior crafts and historical documents--but these are o~ly a portion of the displays. Hugh oatmeal cooki~s. reminiscent of those made by farmers' wives for the first Chautauqua, will be the:; main attraction at the refreshment center. Foot-long hot dogs. coffee and punch will accompany them. This evening of· 'eptertainment and enrichment" will begin at 7 p.m. and will cost $ l .50 for adults and 75 cents for • children. The last four days have proven very productive for Oregon's many vets, both in • and out of school, because of actions foitiated in both Salem and Corvallis. • On Monday, Governor Straub signed into law House Bill 2162 calling for an increase of $7,000 in the maximum amount of money available for individual veterans home loans. The bill , upping the maximum from $28,000 to $35,000, will hopefully encourage veterans to buy or build homes, and thus stimulate Oregon's wood products industry, according to 0. N. Kinsey, the administrator of the State Federal Affairs Committee in Salem. • At a meeting of the State Federal Affairs Committee last Friday, the date for a special election on a proposed constitutional amendment to broaden the home loan base for Oregon veterans, was tentatively set for May 6, 1975 The election will be on House Bill HJR 23, which will re-define what has been called the "descriminatory" residency requirements for Vietnam veterans applying for home loans. As it now stands, WW II and Korean vets are eligible for loans if they : moved to Oregon within.two years of their discharge date, while Vietnam vets must ~av_e _1ived in Oregon for one year prior to their enlistment to receive these loans. The bill, tf passed, would make th~ requirements for Vietnam veterans the same as those for all previous vets. • Oregon had be~n the only Western state without a statewide veterans organization, but the situation was remedied in a statewide veterans meeting at the Memorial Union in Corvallis this weekend, with the establishment of the Oregon consolidated Veterans [~VO]. Rich Buhrig, or!e. of LCC's representatives at the conference, termed the meting a "success" with 75 to 100 representatives, including five women, showing up from most of Oregon's colleges. One of the most important accomplishments of the conference, according to Buhrig, was the establi~hment of these three committees: • The Constitution Committee, which was charged to draw up a tentative . consitution for the org_~pization; • The Lobbyin,g Committee, which will try and consolidate thevariousschools' lobbying efforts on legislation concerning vets; • The Commn_nication Committee, which will attempt to open up or broaden the lines of commmunic;ation among all the veterans in Oregon. But Buhrig emP,hasized that "the most important thing we did was to get together; to open the lines of communication." All day Saturdax there were various Workshops held that eyed the problems many vets experience .. On Saturday night the vets had a "kegger" at the AMerican Legion in Corvallis, "tq just sit around and relax and get to know each other. "Buhrig added. The three committees will meet at Clackamas Community College in Portland on Feb. 22 and 23 to diSCl,lSS their proposals and the next meeting of the Consolidated [cont. on p. 2, col. 4) vacancie s looks to fill Senate LCC The ASLCC Senate is looking for -stuPt:rforming_ Arts, fr~shman and sodents to fill vacant positions.

Ways ~nd Means ponders C C money problems by Mike Dolan Salem (ENS)--Oregor}.' s community colleges brought out the shock troops this week in an effort to get more than $70 million from the State Legislature. About a dozen community college presidents and board members showed up before a Ways and Means subcommittee which has been . investigating the colleges' funding for a week.

The Media Commission · decided to review a directive bann}ng free posting of messages, and appoint~d subcommittee to work out an alte,;native proposal. In a Jan. 21 memorandum to all departments Director of Student Activities Jay Jones said that ' all window areas on campus become off limits to any signs, posters . . . it will .be the responsibilities of the Director .of Student Activities to supervise and .control the bulletin boards that now become the main source of posting." But that did not sit well with the Media • Commission. In its meeting on feb. 4, Jones was invited to explain his position. ''It has become impossible to keep· all the windows clean. The custodians have to work (extra tjme) to clean the glass." said Jones. Peter Hale, commission member, also agre_e d. While nobody pres~nt disputed that there was a problem, the method for solution had to be hammered out. "Perhaps a syste:m of charging a deposit on posters, to ,be refunded when a the posters come down,, could be started," Communication Departµ1ent. '' Maybe we could find ways to assure the cleanup," said another commission member. But how? When one member likened the function of LCC to a small citv .and "couldn't imagine a city that h:ilted publication of its newspapers beca11se the custopians couldn't clean it," th~ problem became clearcut. '' Perhaps we need ? better system of monitoring the boards, created by, and responsible to the Mt>tiia Commission," said Commission Chaircr Connie Hood. Members agreed t11at a s~lution to the problem may be the creation of work-study positions 1,, specifically deal with the boards. "Another signboard--like the one between the Forum ano -.1e Center Building--could give space to anyone who wanted to post," said Social Science Instructor Dave Croft. A subcommittee was formed -to research the question. and wilf report to the Media Commission at its next meeting Feb. 18. Interested students, faculty, and administrators are asked by that committee to contact Peter Hale, chairman. tativcs. makes all the final decisions or, how the state spends its money. Bob Davis, member of the board of directors of Oregon Community College Assembly, asked the subcommittee to budget for more students than it has in the past. and to increase the amount of money earmarked for inflation at the two-year schools. He noted that state ~•tpport of community colleges· had dropped from 65 percent, when the program began in 1964, to about 49 percent two years agp--and then to 46.5 percent last year. Davis asked for more state support for the local schools because they serve people from outside their districts and because they take pressure off the state-funded four-year schools. He painted a bleak financial picture of the schools, saying that many of them have already used up their contingency funds even though they have been opearting under "tight constraint." Several members of the subcommittee, including Chairer Vera Katz, D-Portland, questioned the college<;' practice of recruiting students during a time of financial cutback. Both Rep. Howard Cherry, O-Portland , a member of the Portland Community College Board of Director<;, and Earl Klapstein. president of Mt. Hood Community College, denied that the schools recruited students. Cherry said only Lane and Portland Community Colleges had reached a .. plateau" of new students. According to Don Sht:aton, the full Ways and Means Committee oegins a tour next week that will take them to seven of the thirteen colleges, and then will consider their cour5e of action. page &t. :3· ... ., .·,·.-,,· ....... Integrated Israeli state ...a must Arab students expound on: Middle East peace, the US, and ihe oil situation by Mike McLain The elimination of the Zionist state of Israel and the return of the refugee Palistinians to their homes arc the two criteria necessary for peace in the Middle East, according to several Arc1b students attending LCC. Interviews conducted last term with three Saudi Arabian students. enrolled at LCC, shed some light on Arab views of the Middle East conflict. the oil situation. and perhaps the perceived prejudice of LCC studcnrs and staff towards the Middle East. The elimination of the present state of Israel in favor of a sta(e in which Arabs, Jews and Christians can live together in peace is the only viable solution to the pr?blem, according to Ahmed Abalkhail, a Folk guitarist to perform at UofO Elizabeth Cotton, folk guitarist. will be presented in a concert appearance by the U of O's Cultural Forum this Saturday.

"Thcv must be dealt with. as such and they mu;t be allowed to return to their homes·." Both Abalkhail and AI-Doussari agreed that indigconous Jews.

X-Hollywood Screenwriter tells story Editor's note: All too often the carrJpus community is faced with the results of college decision making after the fact. To help alleviate this situation the TORCH constantly endeavors to make the campus community aware of the latest developments in college policy and planning. In this instance the c,ollege Administration is contemplating a commitment to a new and untested form of instructional support. The following article is a brief look at this commitment. On Feb. 25, the TORCH will present an article looking at educational uses of the "Goldmark" plan, and on March 11 will present a look at its economic implications. Prepared by John . Loeber, former TORCH editor, this is a descriptive article based on interviews "vYith Keith Harker, chairer of the Learning _Resources DepartLoeber also met with Peter ment. Goldmark last term.

Gold11ark video syste11: 'folly' . by John Loeber Work is over for the day. the house has settled down after dinner and prime-time television doesnt go into full swing for another hour. For many people the next 60 minutes will be filled with a gaggle of game shows, police melodramas, and western reruns. But at the same time, many viewers in the television community will spend the early evening in college level or adult education courses--without leaving their living rooms . Educational television is finally coming of age in America. Tod/ly in Southern California educational television programs offered by community . colleges are successfully vying with early prime-time--and winning. So far over 5,900 viewers make a nightly choice, and opt for college courses. Educational television is not a dream of the future; it is as new ~s today and as real as next term's textbooks. In fact, that is how educational television is often described--as a visual textbook. While there is no panacea at hand for the frustranons eoucators tace wtth declining budgets, expa~ding classes, and an increasingly technical society, television-like the textbook--provipes a further point of departure, another educational resource for personal instruction. One method of tele.vised instruction currently being considered is commonly termed the Goldmark SY,stem. A system of video-taped instruction\ll texts that is designed to pay for itself within five years. the Goldmark plan incorporates a new development in video ha,rdware to provide sophisticated, and aesthetically pleasing, slide-tape presentation~. Some find it a dream come true--while others term it "Goldm~rk's Folly." This new system of instructional support draws its name from its inventor, Peter J. Goldmark. known as the •'father of color television." Goldmark, even whil~ president of CBS Research Laboratories, has always been a dreamer. A chance visit to a movie theatre in 1940. and a viewing qf "Gone With The Wind" in Technicolor, prompted him to dream of color telecasts--a dream he made come true in 1946 when he developed color television for CBS. His love of music combined with his frustration at changing phonograph records led him to develop the long-play record in 1948, just on H:ie heels of his color television success. It .was described by LIFE magazine as "the most revolutionary development to hit the recording industry since the invention of the automatic changer.'' In an exclusive TORCH interview last October, Goldmark said. his "latest project . is to 'develop new way~ of delivering edu_: cation to the communitY., • including people · Toadskin: a11ateurs produce a spredru11 of fil11s by Bumppo Gregory it is difficult to attract a crowd in .Eugene unless you're selling sports, rock and roll, sex, booze, reefers or some combination of those products. ''Toadskin 11' ', an. aedio-visual ,;edia event, ex~ plaited none of the above, and attempted to compete with the visiting Los Angeles basketball teams this weekend. The result was a small but enthusiastic turn-out made up primarily of folks directly involved in some aspect of film. The variety of the film · and video entries was impressive--ever ything from a minute of abstract ima_ges to an hour of well-produced commumty economic investigation--from fairly crude, awkward attempts to smooth, cleanly edited works of art A preponderance of evidence indicated that these young, independent filmmakers are much more concerned with content than with form and they have been training their cameras on a broad spectrum of subjects including arm wrestling_, _a precocious 10-year-old karate freak, TV itself, advertising, James Bond, arts and crafts, urban and rural landscapes, animals, machines, the counter-culture, old-timers and kids--suhjects from the environment that surro,unds us that we often don't have time to look at carefully. It was a relief to w~tch hours of film without seeing Ford, Kissinger, Nixon or any of the national and international charades that dominate newspapers and television. Because of thls local emphasis the event could have been subtitled "Community Focus," which was the name of a ·Portland. group that contributed to the event. This is media that you can trust because the people involved arc having a love affair with reality they pursue--they grind their cameras instead of axes and let the viewer decide if it comes out good or bad, . pretty or ugly. Media in general needs more people who are concerned with compmnicating what is happening rather than building stiff public posture. There is little doubt that "Toadskin II" would nave been more of a commercial succes~ for the Medium· Rare promoters, had they some wellknown names to adyertise, but that would diminish their pasic concept that the filmmakers' products should speai~ for them. Perhaps these folks will never achieve fame, but they have p_otential for strong social influence, witn.e ss the impact of what Newsweek calls ''that counter-culture collective known as TVTV (Top Value Television)" which prQduced the "Lord of the Universe" show on Guru- Maharaj Ji and the currently-,runn ing ''Gerald Ford's America," a four-part series on the public TV network. These video freaks intrude with their Porta-pak cameras where newspe9ple who know the angle~ fear to tread. They record our contemporary life as it. is lived, catching people off guard, unrel.tersed, candid and vulnerable--vie ws th<;1t we seldom get through the conventiopal news sources.· This ts the endless potential that can be exploited by the Medium/Rare People and their colleagues throughout the country. Many of u~ have known for years that our reality is often more exciting and instructi,ve than the traditional sources of vicariqus experience that have been carefully programmed to nourish and produc_e . mass-market, mass-man, and mass-mind. "Toadskin II" shows us the incredi~le variety of experience happening a,11 around us, the many demensions of life that we've been conditioned to think occured only in exotic climes, or ~t least no closet than Hollywood. These filmmakers ar~ working hard to cut themselves (and the rest of us) free from the establishment umbilical cord and they deserve more community support. It is ironic tpat folks who can pay for $100 for a lid .of Maui-wowee can't get their heads .vut of their grass long enough to give Medium/Rare and other community-orien~ed groups a minimum of support.

Thus the "dream come true"--now for ' Goldmark's Folly." The plan will undoubtedly require LCC to commit funds that are desperately needed all over campus.. Many people say considering the Goldmark concept is ridiculous while funds a.re currently being cut for regular curriculum development and Adult Basic Education. Proponents of the pl~n. however, point out that the cost could ~asily be recovered through student reimbursement from the state and from tuition. The plan is also seen as a major part of the answer to problems encountered . in curriculum development and outreach education to students living in distant communities. Again, proponents point out that after the first five years all in~ome and revenues would be "profit" to the college. Another financial consideration brought out is the provision for rpyalties. As one of the 18 charter members of the plan, Lane could receive up to $1_,750,000 revenues annually--or as little as $175.000 if the plan doesn't catch on around the country. It has been pointed out. though, that this would still be enough to entirely underwrite the cost of participation for Lane, exclusive of state reimbursements or student tuition. ••• ••• . •• ••• ••• ••• •• •• •• ••• •• • ••• •• •· ••• •• • ••• •• by Kathy Craft LCC has film club @t-.· - \ ~ltfilllllifilffiil" Hollyw ood to LCC: ·a step up . b.\ Mike Hcfflc_y From Hollvwood to LCC's television studios! It ·mav sound like a reverse ascent. but to Leonard. Landis. television student, it is definitely a step up. Working many years as an accountant in Los Angeles brought Landis into contact with professional filmmakers and scriptwriters. "One of them was an agent for several actors down there.'' he says of his business accounts. •'One account was with the sccretarv for Stanley Kramer; another account ,~·as with a so~nd studio." Landis \\'as related by marriag~. and common political bent. to Michael Wilson, one of the Hollywood ten (a group of writers blackballed as subversives from potential employment during the Joe McCarthy years), and through him was exposed to Alvah Bessie. Dalton Trumbo, and Paul Gallico, to name some famous ones. Forced to leave the smog by a respiratory ailment, Landis moved to Eugene with a long-harbored project in mind . ··Accounting was my profession ... but I always was intereste<;l in a lot of other things ... I served in the Navy in WW II as a Quartermaster on an LCI.'' Desiring the means _to share his Navy adventures, which he describes as a "unique experience ... our ship ran aground . . . and I th9ught of someday writing a story which . would have been almost as good as 'Mr, Roberts'. Really funny, what went on on that ship of ours." Landis then "registered" his story line with the Screenwriter's Guild, a protective measure against plagiarism . "Then, near the ned,. when I had to quit work because of physical conditions ... I looked around for someone to work with to kind of flesh the thing out ... the dialogue and scenery ... and I t,hought ... maybe that's a good way to ocq.1py my time now." The easy access to studio facilities at LCC--cameras and sets--and professional technicians, instructors in all phases from scriptwriting to acting to production, brought Landis back to school with a ripened interest in the medium's tools . ,With that working knowledge and a little ;outside help--drama students and cowriters. as well as hi:5 TV classmates-!Landis has moved towards his story's pro.duction. ,> page~ :~rlfayF1i:t~~ • "On television. the cost of tape, if you have all the other materials and some cooperation. is minimal, much cheaper than movie-making on a similar level. You can't use videotape outdoors too well, though." Growing in the kno~lcdge of the craft (he's now in his second term) has thrust him into projects and plans other than his own script. He's working on a training film for the Dental Hygiene ~lasses, and a work for which he needs an actress. That is, an actress from her waist down. He assures us it's not pornographic. Which r2.ises the que~tion: What comes after training? Do graquates of LCC's TV program head for Los Angeles studios, or eve them with devotion? Landis thinks otherwise. •'It depends on what you want out of life. If you really want the money you'll think in those terms. I think there are enough young filmmakers up here with good ideas. who are looking to local bases after school, to create a good market." "Do these include aesthetic vision," I wondered. "apart from sheer commercial value?" "Well there are som~ local groups like the Toadskin people (Medium/Rare) which is made up of young filmmakers ... and the Eugene Film Co-op, and probably some things over at the Univt:rsity. Some of it's a little way-out for my taste, but if they do have aesthetic vision then they do have commercial value.'• group offers film altern atives ." Rll by Kathy Craft Hip folks take in flic\s, .sophisticatos attend the cinema, and plebian hordes go to the movies (or, God forbid, "the show"). But semantics aside, film freaks, devotees, and just plai~ old fans alike may find the newly established LCC Film Club worth investigating. According to club spokesperson Ruth Sandven the organization has established several areas it wjshes te, pursue. First of all, films will be shown at meetings and then discussed afterwards. Among the films presented so , far are "Hiroshima," . "The Whale," and several Jane Goodall works. Discussion centered around club members' filmmaking endeavors also will be an integral part. of the group's activities, Sandven said.. At present at least one member, President Peter Hale. is making a film. The group also wants to provide information and demonstrations showing the operation of varipus audio-visual equipment. Sandven said. With only four persons currently involved the club is anxious to recruit; mere members. Meetings are held every Monday at 4 p.m. in Room 105 in the Math Building. Feb. 11, 1975 J~,-. I I d. For those who thrive on the latest critically acclaimed film~. Eugene is simply not the place to be. Star-studded premjers at the local Springfield drive-in seem rather unlikely, and despite Cinema Ts attempt to provide local cultural salvation, .Cannes it isnt. But instead of lamenting about Eugene's rather tarnished silver. screens engraved Hollywood's cast-off, r·elics, it might prove more interesting to investigate films of a more homegrown _variety. For filmmakers are definitely thriving, if striving, in Eugene. Six of these local filmmakers have banded together to form Medium Rare, an organization described by its spokesperson Phillip Perkins as a '',medium confederacy" concentrating on film, videotape and slide production. An outgrowth of the Community Video Access Center which Medium Rare member Tripp Mikich initiated three years ago, members assembled together, said Perkins, "in an effort tu share the responsibiliti.es and the costs'' involved in film and video tape production. The group is involved in a myriad of activities. Perhaps most publicized is its annual "Toadskin" production, a presentation of non-profession~!, low budget, experimental film and video work which occured last weekend at the WOW Hall . Medium Rare also is 'responsible for the Filmmakers Cinematheque a monthly presentation of locally produced films and videotapes. Perkins said all those engaged in film and video work in the are~ are welcome to submit their work for the presentation, which is held the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Eugene Public Library Lectur~ Room. Further details may be obtained.through contacting Perkins at 342-7806. Individual endeavors: by Medium Rare members are "pretty v~ried" according to Perkins. Several work .as "stringers" for local television stations,. occasionally covering news events on a. freelance basis. Members also produce documentaries of events of local interest, either simply because they are personally interested in doing so or because they are commissioned by individuals or groups. For example, the Oregon Renaissance faire's organizers commissioned members to produce a film of that event, and member Allison Rodman recently produced a viqeotape for promotional purposes for the Eugene Rape Crisis Center. Members also are involved in work of a more "self~expressive vein," added Perkins. t:: {\; • :::::•·· Although Perkins ii;idicated Medium Rare is a success in terms of the dedication of its members and their ability to work well together ("There's .rarely any in-fighting") he readily admitted financial problems plague the organization. "We think people should pay for our services if they can" he said, but acknowledged members often donate their labor, and sometimes their equipment as we}\, free of ch~rge, if they feel the production ''needs to be done." Perkins said the re~ent Toadskin production "wasn't exactly .a financial success" and indicated that much of the loss would be absorbed froQ1 the "pockets" of the members. Those pockets are filled. by work at jobs· such as dishwashing, su it is easy to see w~y financing is difficult for Medium Rare. "We're in the habit of losing money.really. Grants are so hard to _get nqw with all the ~big__fou,ry.9ations cutting, do~n on them, we finally said to hell with ,that.' Obviously then an i111portant goal of the group is to ascertain w~ys to obtain more money, "at least enough so our equipment isn't falling apart and we could maybe break even. But we're sure not alone," he continued. "Most groups around here involved in cultural kinds of things are In spite of the financial problems, Perkins seemed optimistic about Medium Rare. "Sure we'd like to make more money out of it. But we think it's important to do it anyway. Were really aware of the potential of film and video work and we want to see it used well.'' Most important howe,ver said Perkins, those involved with the organization "are· ' into it just b~cause we love to do it." pageit:·1 One Of the three R's mad·e·fun· ___ by Nan Rendall Kids who won't g9 to bed at night' because they're having .so much fun doing math?

Feb. 11, 1975 Women 7-2 after win, loss Titans split weekend, blemish record b~- Kell~- frnle_v After winning 11 straight conference games LCC tinall\' lost to Southwestern Oregon Community College 77 to 70 at Coo.., Ba~· Frida~· night. The Titans came back against Judson Baptist Community College here Sa1urday night. 84 to 72. however. and moved their conference mark to 12-1 and easilv staved on top in the Oregon Community. College Athletic Association basketball standings. The loss actually has little impact on the OCCAA standings--Um pqua Communitv College remained in second place with 9-4 season record and Blue Mountain is third \,·ith a 7-5 mark. "They really out-played us." said Titan Coach Dale Bates of the match with SWOCC. "We didn ·1 have any patience in attacking their zone defense. We quit rehou nding. shooting. and--bang-b angbang--the~· went ahead.·· Lane led the game for the entire first half and even had an 11 point span over Southwestern Oregon early in the second half. But the Lakers started _to rally and pulled ahead by 10 points. Meanwhile. they were in a 2-1-2 zone defense and Lane was unable to score effectiwlv when it had to. The Titans did finally -manage to come back. but with 1:40 left in the game SWOCC hit some crucial free throws and a couple of field goals to win by seven. Perhaps a deciding factor in the loss was the absence of sophomore forward Doug Ainge, who couldn't perform all weekend for Lane due to an eligibility question. Ainge attended Brigham Young University last year and other schools in the OCCAA are challenging his eligibility to play basketball for LCC because of the transfer question. Bates is waiting for more solid facts over the issue before he makes the details known, but he did feel the problem would be cleared Ui> w_ith little difficulty. Ainge is the Titans' second leading scorer and Bates contends that his absence "really made a difference in our shooting" against SWOCC. Although Lane beat Jµdson Baptist by 30 points the last time the two teams played, the 12 point win Saturday night was much more impressive. "It's good to come back after a loss." said Bates. Freshman guard Greg Anderson ignited the team with fast breaks, and scored 18 points for the night. The Titans jumped to a 26-5 lead early in the _game and finished the first half ahead by 43-27. "We played some outstanding man-toman defense and created a lot of turnovers," Bates said of the first half. But when the second half started, Judson Baptist was a different ball club. Don Palmer scored 21 points and led the Portland squad to out-score Lane 45 to 41 the second half. The closest JBCC came to Lane was nine points, however, when Palmer hit a pair of free throws with 3:52 left in the game. Robbie Smith, who was hig h scorer with 21 points. then hit a field goal to put Lane up by 11. The teams a h~ Kell~- Fenle~· trackd ha'>kcts hack and forth until Lane l'inalh· won l)\' 12. Boh Woods scored 15 point~ for the.night. Rick Weidig hit 11 and Mike Reinhart sank 8 to round off the -.coring. The Titans forced Judson Baptist to gin· up the ball 17 times Saturday night and out-rebounde d them. 50-40.

There was ample bewilderment Friday ,\·hen the Titans hosted undefeated Clark Junior College. but this time the pattern was reversed . Lane started the game by running ahead 19 to 6. but then collapsed. Confused over what to do on offense and defense. the Titans started throwing the ball away and missed good percentage shots--a mistake not to be made against an 8-0 team like Clark. ·-rm confident we're a better team than they arc." said Daggett, who added that "I don't feel they earned the game. They won by capitali.dng on all of our mistakes. .. Finall~· we regained our composure." said Daggett. "but all too late. Time ran out with Lane trailing b.v four."

And as the Titans routed Lewis anc! Clark College 48 to 36 Feb. 4 and then fell to Clark .Junior College here last Fridav 4'/ to 43. there was plenty of disbelief ·and -.urpriscs--bo th good an<l bad. .. I don't know what it is a.bout this group of ladies." said Daggett after the comeback victorv over Lewis and Clark. "During the first couple of games this year I almost got an ulcer. But finally I've started to relax and realize thev'lt' win-• most of the time." When the game started at Portland last Tuc..,da>'. the Titans were in an offensive slump and Lewis and Clark romped to a 16 to 2 lead in the first 10 minutes. That's the type of thing that gives Daggett ulcers. But true to form. the team finally jelled lhiced by fresh man tllen Downev. who poured in 19 points. the women ra~ up 20 points of their own and held Lewis and Clark to five. ending the first ltalf with Lane ahead 22 to 21.
