To the Editor:
We, Eugene Gay Peoples Alliance,
would like to share our feelings about
the death of House Bi'lls 2637 and 2288
After legislative hearings which
demonstrated to anyone with eyes to
see and ears to hear, that homosexuality is a reality in the lives of many
Oregonians posing no impediment to
their capacity for full and constructive
participation in the life and work of
society, the Eugene Gay Peoples Alli: ance views with disbelief the defeat of
HB 2288 regarding the prohibition of
discrimination on the basis of sexual
: orientation in state employment practices and, through parliamentary sidestepping, the apparent loss of HB 2637
regarding the extension of the civil
rights protective umbrella to sexual
orientation and marital status. Character defamation and moralizing vitriol
have again succeeded in making
falsehoods sound like truisms.
Failing to acknowledge that regardless of their decisions, Gay people
have historically held and shall continue to hold positions of responsibility
in education and government, business and industry, arts and sciences;
they have and shall continue to be
persons next door, in the office, the
classroom, and on the-assembly line
they have and shall continue to picl< up
- their earnings, pay their bills, mortgages and taxes; the legislature has
condemned the Gay citizens of Oregon
to another year of jeopardy in employment, housing and accommodation--in
jeopardy lest someone discover their
sexual orient~tion and concl\,lde from
that single aspect of their character
that they are not fit employees,
tenants or clients. The legislature has
condemned the Gay citizens of Oregon
to another year of silence--denying to
them, their neighbors, and co-workers
the chance to know each other as they
• really are. The legislature has failed to
acknowledge that heterosexual persons are responsible for the sexual
abuse of children to a degree so far exceeding that by homosexual persons to
make the latter inconsiderable. The
legislature has failed to realize that in
this heterosexual society people have
nonetheless managed to grow up
without the taint of heterosexuality,
' i.e. to grow up Gay, and that children
who have been and will be taught and
counsel led by Gay people honestly
• about sexuality, have grown and shall
continue to grow to sexual maturity
without suffering any misdirection.
The legislature has failed to listen to
the truth and act with courage, satisfied instead to wallow in the maledictions of the ignorant.

people to let the legislature know of
their displeasure with its lack of vision
and applaud al I those who have
worked to advance the bi Ils th is

-Register-Gu~ra gives grants_
to four

LCC students

by Kathy Craft,

Four LCC students have been
awarded $100 grants by the Eugene
Register-Guard.
They are Adrienne Hull, a data
processing major, Kevin Karth, an
electronics major, John Payne, a mass
communications major, and Mary
Thompson, a business major.
According to Connie Hood, ASLCC
secretary and chairperson of the
Media Commission, the 400 dollars
was originally intended to be awarded
to one person from one of the four
departments, but because each of the
nominees was "so outstanding,"
members of the Commission decided
to divide it among the four.
Lyle Swetland, director of the college Development Office, said the
Register-Guard was interested in
helping students studying in these
areas rather than simply those concentrating on print journalism because
of ''the changing nature of newspaper
production and the increased mechanization involved."
He predicted that next year the full
grant will be awarded to one person
and more extensive advertising will be
conducted to recruit applicants.
Hull plans to use her money to "pay
off some school loans." After graduating, she intends to obtain employment in the business programming
field.
Karth's 100 dollars will be used to
help him "keep on going to school."
He plans to work as an engineer in a
radio or television station after finishing at LCC.
Payne will use his grant to pay for
tuition. He is unsure as to whether he
will seek employment directly after
finishing at LCC or continue his
studies at a four year institution. His
goal is to become involved in broadcast
photo--journalism, such as producing
documentaries for television.
Thompson also will use her grant to
pay for tuition, and plans to work in
the accounting field after graduating.

"The Concrete Statement is dead."
This was the official report of Language Arts . Department Chairman
John Howard,·on the status of the now
det'unct student literary and art publication of the same name.
, Howard went on to add that he had
_contacted Jay ·Jones, director of student activities, and Associate Dean of
Instruction Joyce Hops and informed
them that -the Language Arts Department would have no further participation in the Literary Arts magazine
(now published under the name of
Currents, after rejection for a copyright under The Concrete Statement
due to a technicality).
"Publication costs nearly ran us out
of business," said Howard. He also
cited "lack of interest or support from
the Student Senate" and "student
resistance to sales"-due to "their lack
of money" as additional factors.
''The Concrete Statement is dead. If
some other department wants to pick it
up, they can take it. We have no staff
member willing to assume the role of
advisor to the program," Howard explained that instructors only get one
class credit for it and "they put much
more time than that into it."'
The current advisor to the student
publication, Ruby Vonderheit, says
simply "Budg·et requests forms were
sent to us by SPAF, as they were to all
activities funded by SPAF. Business
Manager Ed Ruiz, submitted the completed forms to the office of Jay Jones,
director of student activities.''
Rod Mack, currently the student
editor of "Currents," had this to say
on the possible total elimination of the
publication: "It's a shame; I like the
idea of a student magazine, but it's not
selling.''
Questioned on his feelings about the
possibility of another department assuming the advisorship of the magazine, he replied "I don't think that it
would be a bad idea. We've certainly
had trouble with the magazine."

LCC Women's Track Team, the opportunity for women to develop themselves as athletes has burgeoned and

Sprinters open-up

full

but distance runners
budget for the end

by Kelly Fenley
A track meet is a wonderful thing to
.
watch.
On a nice day, there are few things
more exciting than to surround yourself with the color of a dozen teams-and the hope, determination and pain
that competition bears.
But it is a perplexing experience at
the same time. Especially when you
watch the distance runner.
For instance, it's impressive to see
the sprinters dig out of their blocks,
straining and pulling every muscle in
their body to the highest peak possible, flying down 100 yards of asphalt
lined with red, green, blue and white
flags to a glorious 9.7 second finish.
But then it's odd, and bewildering,
to see a group of athletes -voluntarily
pour their guts out for t4 minutes
while hoping to endure 12 laps around
the track. The pace is faster than most
people could survive for even two laps,

Cooley gives further credit to elementary school special training programs which have been in effect since
the early sixties. "It's called Movement Exploration. They teach all the

both boys and girls, before they go into

half sprint a mile, two-mile, and on up
to six? Run scores of miles a week on
tracks, streets, and mountain trails?
''It's a matter of success,'' says Rod
Cooper, LCC's star distance runner
who just won the Oregon Community
College Athletic Association Track
finals in the three-mile.
"I tried baseball, and basketball,
but I was always in the lower bracket.
When I started running around the
track I found something that I excelled
in. People I used to look up to in other
sports I could now look down at in
track. They didn't have a choice but to
respect me then.''
Jeff Boak and John Miller, fellow
three-milers with Cooper and third and
fifth place finishers in the OCCAA,
said their motivations in running
distance originally were similar.
"Whenever I played basketball,"
Miller said, "and threw the ball away,
everyone would say 'Oh, Miller ... , "
but they couldn't say that in track.
"With running, you get what you
put into it," Boak added. "In team
sports, you get rooked.''
But the other end, the sprinters, are
very often pure and natural athletes.
LCC's top sprinters--Gary Garnes,
Vince Woods, Oscar Casey and Lloyd
Hafer--all played first team football in
high school as well as many other
sports, and knew from the time they
were little guys that they were
athletes.
"You've either got it or you don't,"
Woods said, inferring that speed is
By their •
innate and not attained.

junior high school years, they all had.·
excelled well in most everything they
did.
"A sprinter will open up the faucet
of all his strength and even then won't
run out," Cooper said. "There's the
difference. We turn on our faucet real
slow, and do everything we can to have
some left."
An ordinary day for Cooper; Miller
and Boak will begin with four to six 1
miles in the morning before breakfast.
Later in the day they will have their
regular work-out, and at least match
the miles they ran in the morning by
either track work or running trails in
the hills around LCC. By the week's
end, they have covered 60 miles.
When they are in the initial training
program, they will run 80 miles a
week, or even more. The goal is to
develop the cardio-vascular system to
its highest peak of efficiency, and to
train the mind to the point of endurThis, too, is a separation
ance.
between the athletes requiring less
commitment. It builds a sort of bond
between fellow distance men, who
share countless miles together, often
endless pain, agony, and in the end,
satisfaction.
"Distance runners don't cut each
other down," Cooper said. "It's really
like no one wins, or loses; if a guy runs
a personal record in the mile, even if it
is a minute slower than the winning

time, we're happy for him."
The distance runner must raise his
will above the agonies of the flesh, as
most any of them will tell you. And it
is here that the finest line of all sets
him away from the others: To win he
must cross the line where the will is
stronger than the body.
'' I think my six-mile run at the Twilight Meet was an example of that,"
Cooper said. "When I first started the
race I was nervous because I wanted to
stay up with the Oregon runners. And·
my legs never did give up, because my
mind was programmed not to give up.
I refused to say, 'no, don't run
anymore,' and I set two school records
that day."
The sprinter, on the other hand,
wields his behavior to his immediate
health, and the state of his body at that
time. To him, a pulled muscle could be
a disaster. A torn ligament could
mean a season's end.
"Psychological ly, it's an advantage
to feel good," Hafer said. They admit
to the constant precautions of their
ability to perform. Casey said when he
used to run in Portland he had to sit in
the front seat of a taxi-cab to feel ready
before the meet. He wouldn't even
listen to music for fear of its effects.
"You have to run on the border line
of pain,·~ Cooper said of a distance
race, ''until the last few laps are in
sight." Then, he said, the distance
runner has to cross over the line and
run on desire.
"If I say I can do it, then, I can do
it," he said.

:o ne iogger's dream:
Keeping up with her dog
by Kathy erart
Joggers are everywhere in Eugene. Beside the
river, in the parks, even dodging automobiles and
billboards along Franklin Boulevard. And many of
these same joggers are enrolled in one of LCC's
five jogging classes.
There are many jog·gers at LCC, however, who
are not enrolled in jogging classes at all. Twenty~
year old home economics major Nancy Hepner is
one. "I jog because it'just makes me feel better,"
she explains. "It helps me relax and get my mind
off things.'' Hepner said she has been jogging for
approximately one year; last summer she ran
nearly everyday and during the school year she has
succeeded in jogging every other day. "I usually
''that's 8 times
do about 2 miles,'' she said,
around the track." She explained that she wasn't
"all that concerned about speed--just doing it is
what counts to me.'' She said during the morining •
she will jog through her neighborhood but at other .
times feels "more comfortable" jogging at LCC.
'' People look at you funny, kids tease you and dogs
chase you when you run through the streets,'' she
explained.
Another veteran jogger at LCC is Evan Alford-:The 62 year old English composition and communi.cation skills instructor has been jogging off and on
since 1957, and has been involved fairly continuously since 1970. '' I run two or three times a week,
usually from 5 to 10 miles. But I'm not very fast at
it," he laughs, "and although that first five isn't
too hard I'm pretty ti red after 10." Alford doesn't
confine himself to the track--he jogs in the
countryside surrounding LCC and along the
ftTghway. "Jogging can be boring," Alford said,·
but he agrees with Hepner that it Is relaxing. "It
also helps me from getting overweight,'' he adds."But what I really like about jogging is that I'm
my own master. There's no competition involved

school. "It feels kind of strange thqugh .. l try to·
come down when there are only a few people here.
I'm slow and people are always passing me." .
Walker said her husband jogs and she would like to
be able to join him. She said the last time she
attempted jogging her dog accompanied her. This
proved unsuccessful, though. "I just couldn't keep

up with him/' she said.

and I 'm doing it just for me."
Some of those circling the LCC track are quite
inexperienced at jogging, though. Twenty three'
year old Carolyn Walker attempted it for the first'
time on Monday--and after 4 times around running!
one mile breathed heavy and looked tired. "I'm·,

·c ha_mpions for the fourth straight year
by Kelly Fenley ,
Al Tarpenning was plenty pleased,
but you might have expected him to
say something a little different after
his Titan track team ran away with the
Oregon Community College Athletic
Association Track and Field Championships here Friday and Saturday.
"I felt personally that we were a
little flat today," he said. Tarpenning
felt the Titans got off to a slow start
Saturday in the finals, and that cost
them points they should have had.
But LCC still scored 189 points,
demolishing all the other nine,colleges
competing for the OCCAA crown.
Clackamas Community College took
second place, and they only scored 102
112 points. It was the fourth s,traight
OCCAA victory for Tarpenning in the
last seven years.
Basically, the Titans troubles centered around a dropped baton in the
final exchange of the 440-yard relay.
At the time Vince Woods attempted to
make the hand-off to Gary Barnes., the
Titans were well ahead of the other
colleges - a cinch for first - but the two
fumbled the exchange and couldn't
finish the race. Also, the Titans had

Goheen abandoned the triple jump
when his bruised heel was more than
he could bear.
But the Titans claimed some outstanding performances despite the flat
points.
Al Shibley won both the shot put and
the discus, and his throw in the shot
sailed 50 feet 5 inches for a personal
Vince
record by nearly two feet.
Woods was also a double winner in the

100-yard dash and 220-yard dash, and
he also placed fourth in the long jump:
After all his total points earned were
tallied up, Woods was declared the
meet's high scorer with 24 points and
went home with the .extra troph_y. '' If

Hallway House, WTLC operations curtailed in dispute

Halfway House had signed an agreement stating they would not use
marijuana or any other drugs.
WTLC staff members said the
House has been funded and operated
for three years largely because volunteers and donors have believed in the
concepts of the House as a meaningful
alternative to prison. They said the
WTLC Board members and its staff
have expended great efforts to keep
Eugene's only Womem 's Halfway
House in operation by continually
requesting grants from the state and
federal governments, and often by
holding garage and bake sales in orde_

to pay the bills which the House
incurs.
Because of the many hardships in

raising ~nough money to keep staff

contract enabled the House to receive
women from Corrections institutions,
and guaranteed WTLC $10 per day per
woman inmate. The WTLC staff said
they only received $3.50 per day per
woman, and even with this aid, the
House struggled for its existance.
Because of the contract, the Division
of Corrections believes that the House
should be run by Corrections standards and guidelines.
The major
difference between Corrections guidelines and WTLC guidelines is described by WTLC as whether or not
WTLC ought to ''trust and respect the
residents of the House.'' The House
staff believes it had good lines of
communication wi~h the women in-

Division of Corrections to clear up
misunderstandings in the contract.
Negotiations were begun last Thursday, May 8 when Corrections representatives, WTLC Board members and

the trip before he graduates," said
Bob Ferrand, chief pilot of the LCC

Curt Brisbane, a graduate of the ··
LCC flight tech program and son of an
airline pilot, visited the Center two
years ago as a student. " There have
been a lot of changes. Two years ago
they were just beginning to install the
computer. It was especially interesting
to see how wel I they keep track of
you--it gives a pilot a great sense of
security, especially if you have a
transponder.''
The transponder is an electronic
device in the aircraft that aids the controller in identifying and tracking each
aircraft. Without it, Brisbane said, the
pilot must make several turns off
course while the controller tracks him
to assure proper identification . "It
cuts down on human error in aircraft
identification,'' Brisbane emphasized .

Sister of the First Congressional
Church gathered to discuss alternati'{eS and objectives of Halfway
Houses. There was no mention of the
April 22 incident that sent the women
inmates back to prison and detention
centers. Instead, the meeting was
aimed at trying to define what a
community-based rehabilitation program intended to do for ex-cons. One
Board member stated that the House
hoped to help ex-cons make It in the
community and to try to give -them a
better sense of self-worth .wheo they ·
come out of prison. They also hope to
educate the community on the problems that ex-cons face when they come
out of prison.
