This is the last TORCH of the 1974-75 school year.
And there is really no single topic burning my fingers to
get on the page. But there are many hopes that I would
like to tell you about in T.G.I.J. (Thank God it's June).
I hope that the college places more value on
communication with the community than it has in the past.
I hope that the budget election and the serial levy are
passed.
I hope that the Information Desk is restored in the
Administration Builqing.
I hope that more ·e mphasis can be placed on accessible
intramural sports.
I hope that the LCC Board of Education will realize its
potential and formulate policy guidelines for the
Administration to ·execute. ·
I hope that unions don't siphon off funds that could be
used to the students' benefit.
I hope that the ASLCC Senate will continue to improve
and gain responsibility for student monies.
I hope that SPAF is disbanded and funding is handled
through the ASLCC Senate.
I hope that the Lay Advisory Committees play a more
active part in the formulation of policy.
I hope that the Budget Committee can gain power and
influence in the formulation of the college budget, acting
as an accurate citizen's sounding board.
I hope that doors can once again be truly open.
I hope that the college can maintain the precarious
balance between vocational and academic transfer
programs.

In last week's column it was
stated that the ASLCC President
·receives a salary and due to
campaign promises, Russ Linebarger would not accept the salary. He
asked that students respond with
suggestions as to the distribution of
his salary by means of a special
fund.
During the past week, not one
student has responded, so the
question is still open to remarks.
In other issues, SPAF-funded
activities will feel the pinch of the
recession if the annual budget fails
to receive voter c!f)proval on June
17.
The current Editor of the
TORCH, Rick Bella, advocated in an
editorial last week, that student
body fees be raised 25 cents per
credit hour. This would provide
Atheletics, the TORCH, Health
Services, and the ASLCC with
adequate funding to continue their
services at the same level as the
past fiscal year.
Student input into these questions is requested through this
column.
For your suggestions, contact the
TORCH, the ASLCC President by
coming by the respective offices, or
by telephoning 747-4501 ext. 234 or
220.
This is your chance to make your
voice heard. Please take the time to
invest in a phone-call and protect
your rights as students.

David Moyer where are you?
In the May 27 issue of the TORCH
you condemned me (Len Wassom) for

I hope that everyone employed at the college realizes
that since their salaries come from public funds, they . are
public servants.
I hope that bus service is increased to and from the
college.
I hope that a parking fee will be charged to encourage
people to take the bus and serve as a revenue source.
I hope that the Food Services will improve the quality of
the fare on its limited budget.
I hope that the Library will open on Sundays.
I hope that the Board of Education will review the
performance of members of the Management Team on a
yearly basis.
I hope that the college can ·hire a more flexible staff
capable of doing many jobs.
I hope the •students, will research the causes of their
problems rather than just bitching.
I hope that the college recognizes the demand for a full
photography program.
I hope it all works.
It has been "educational fun" to work with everyone
here. I have grown. I have come to believe in LCC
because it has helped me to believe in myself.
I hope you .keep the faith.

Malm selected SOcial Science chairer
by Mike Heffley

Paul Malm, following the December
resignation of William Beals, has
become the chairman of the Social
Science Department.
At first, Malm says, he was elected
by the department, therf assigned by
the Administration, to the • post on
an acting basis. '' I have had no time
to think of philosophy, or curriculum,
or anything much in the broad sense
because, since I've taken this job, we
have been tangling with budget deficits and just keeping abreast of d?y-today responsibilities. Hopefully in the
summertime I can get to some of
those other things.''
Prevailing over Malm 's coming
summertime is a trip to Nationalist
China (on Taiwan). He was picked in a
nation-wide selection of fifty students
and instructors by a Madison, Wis.,.
consin group called the World Youth
Crusade for Freedom.
"Basically," Malm explains, "the
visit is an attempt on the part of
Nationalist China to give another picture to the world--to counter the one
given by the - People's Republic of
China."
Malm emphasizes that he intends to
avoid any indoctrination.
"We'll use whatever information we
can gather for my International Relations class,'' he avows, ''and for David
Croft, who is teaching a course here on
China. Right now I 'm negotiating with
the Chinese embassy to attempt to get
access to all the leaders of the country
in the various fields--the government,
the military, economics, the arts and
so on--so we can ask those questions
that you normally can't ask if you're

just going over with a group of
professors and students.''
Malm then cited some previous experience he'd had, on his trip to Egypt
last year, in getting around guided ·
tours and into meaningful conference.
''The Social Science Department
here is among the finest in the
nation," he goes on. "Each of the
three times we've been accredited
here the accreditors have commented
on our staff's rich diversity of opinions
and ideologies and on its ability to
work together as a department without
dissension. So many times you see
political wars going on in a department, over whose view is going to predominate, but I've been here nine
years, and I haven't seen any of that
yet.''
In his own course on International
-Relations, Malm says he's after the
factual, practical content, leaving the ·
theory to the four-year schools.
''The trouble with getting theory
before fact," he declares, ''is that you
tend to fit the facts to the theory. I
concentrate on telling the students
where and how to get the broadest
range of data on a given subject, and
the statistical material and so on, and
let them move to theory later, if they
want."
The ultimate vocational end of such
a course would be the Foreign Service.
"But only three percent of those who
take the foreign service entrance exam
pass it. I'm not saying some of my
students couldn't make it, but for the
most part I try to instill in them a
working knowledge of the world
beyond their own country. I think it's
important to acknowledge ourselves as
members of a global, as well as a

national, community.
"The greatest practical tribute to
me," he admits, "is when a student
tells me he can understand the
newspaper better.''
Malm hopes to see his department

Lawson knows of only one death
which occurred using the martial arts.
This was a duel between a karate
expert and a judo expert; each was
trying to prove the superiority of his
art.
Many self-defense techniques being
taught rely on strength and aren't very
effective for women. But Lawson, who
is an assistant in the LCC self-defense
class, emphasized that her technique
is based on balance, momentum and
leverage--' 'all of these must be combined to work effectively."
She explained this technique by
saying, "It takes several men to move
a boat on the land, and put it in the
water and one man can move it
easily."
But the best defense for anyone
confronted by an attacker is to run.
'' Even though I can--and have--defended myself effectively, I'd still run
and scream, "fire!" You're more apt
to get help than if you yell "rape."

Vets Administration says
checks may be late

Commiffe seeks voters
for budget election
"How can we get out the vote?"
That's the main question that the
•information Advisory Committee faces
with the budget elections corning up
June 17.
•
The committee is chaired by Mass
Communication Department Chairman
John Elliott, and includes many communicatjons experts from the EugeneSpringfield community. The group was
formed to keep a steady flow of information to and from LCC and the comm unity.
''We've set up booths· at LCC and
the U of O to let people know about the
issues," said Jack Robert, speech instructor. '' But with so many people
leaving for the summer the main focus
of our campaign is to try to get
absentee ballot applications out to the
voters.''
Applications can be picked up in the
LCC Cafeteria on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 3 and 4. •
The committee's "prize idea,"
though, is the shuttle bus that they
have set up to bring voters from LCC
and the U of O to the polling places.
The bus will be running Wednesday
and Thursday, June 4-5, 11 a.m. to
4 p.m.- 1eaving on the hour.
'' If the budget doesn't pass, many
students will be unable to get classes
that they need next year,'' said Darrel
Beck, speech instructor. '' I hope that
students and faculty will take advantage of their potential voice and get out
to vote."

Bicentennial Committee.
sponsors essa~ contest
The LCC Bicentennial Committee
recently announced its plans to sponsor an essay competition during the
1975-76 school year in observance of
the 200th Anniversary of the American
Revolution.
Competition is open to all 11th and
12th grade students enrolled at a high
school within the college district in
September, 1975.
Co-di rectors of the com pet it ion,
Randy Mafit, LCC archivist, and Catherine Anderson, language arts instructor, noted that, "entrants will be allowed to choose a subject in line with
their own historical interests, provided
it falls within one of the specified categories.'' The categories are: '' American History,'' ''History of the Northwest," and "Early Oregon History."
Five major prizes will be awarded:
two round trips to Washington, D.C.,
with $250 expense money
and
three one-year tuition scholarships to
LCC--plus a $70 book scholarship with
each. Approximately $600 of the prize
money has already been pledged: $500
from donations to the Annual FundRaising Drive of the LCC Development
Office, which ended in mid-April; $70
(one book scholarship)
from
the
ASLCC; and $25 from Phi Theta .
Kappa.
"Of possibly greater value to the
winners as students of American
History," said Mafit, "will be the opportunities to meet public figures in
the State and national governments,
and to gain insights into the workings
of our governmental system--now
rated one of the oldest continuing
governments among the nations of the
world.''
Entries will be accepted up to
January 15, 1976, and the prizes will
be awarded sometime in May, 1976.

LCC Veterans beware:
At least
300,000 of the June GI checks across
the country will probably be delayed.
VA officials said there are no funds
available for the checks scheduled to
go out in June, the last month of the
fiscal year.
Congress failed to c 1ree on th_e
annual spring suppleme, '.al appropriations bill before they left on their
Memorial Day recess. Congress does
not return until June 2, the day that
VA officials had planned to send the
first vouchers for the June benefits to
the Treasury. The Treasury then, in
turn, sends out the checks.
Wayne Grippe, LCC's veterans representative, has explained how this

The paradox of athletic ·scholarships
by Kelly Fenley
The letter that Dale Bates keeps on the corner
of his desk is more than just a harsh disappointment to him.
It is, above all, a symbol of the frustration that
is not uncommon to any of the coaches at Lane
Community College who try to recruit athletes
with nothing more to offer than academics and an
established athletic program. Every_' schoor in the
Oregon Community College Athletic Association, ·
in which Lane competes, can offer their athletes
some "type! of talent grant. LCC has only the
federal financial aids to offer, and for this the
athlete must be in need of money.
So the coaches grow weary of the type of
response that Drew Schubert sent Dale Bates in
his letter.
Schubert is one of the best basketball players in
the State--"one of the top 10," Bates said. At 6'
6" he was chosen to the all-State team in Oregon
and Bates calls him an exceptional rebounder and
• playmaker.
• Bates recruited Schubert intensely, but in the
end, this was his reply:
Dear Coach Bates:
I sincerely appreciate all of your time
and interest in me. Mt. Hood Community ·college has offered me some assistance and therefore I have decided to
attend their college.
Thank you for everything and again it
was greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Drew Schubert
How many Orew Sohubert responses does an
LCC coach get about athletes seeking the scholarship but not the program?
Perhaps many in a single season. For Bates, at
least one more.
The TORCH called Terry Larson in Rainier,
Oregon. Larson was chosen all-State twice in his
high school career and he has been another one
that Bates is recruiting hard. , Larson himself
wasn't available, but his mother said everything
that needed to be said. "He liked Lane a lot,"
Mrs.Larson began. "He liked the coach and the
players he met, but money-wise there was no
scholarship~ If he had any type of help at all, even
any hope of help-he probably would have gone to
Lane." Instead, she said, Larson would probably
accept the hospitality and scholarship of Lower
Columbia College.
LCC Baseball Coach, Dwane Miller, relates
another similar situation in recruiting baseball
players.
"There was a kid from the Dalles," Miller says,
"who was an all-star and a heck of a baseball
player. I was interested in him and talked to his
parents at one of the games. But they knew that
' Lane couldn't offer him any scholarships, and that
same day sitting in the bleachers a guy from the U
of O came up to them with an offer of free tuition.
That was it.''
"All I can say is that it's very difficult and
extremely challenging to recruit without .talent
grants," said Bates, voicing his frustration. "The
small . four-year schools, other schools in the
OCCAA, private schools . . . they all have some
type of financial help to offer athletes. Even
Portland State and Portland University as
,examples. They're competing with us and they
_
h~ve money.''
. . .
• Track Coach Al T arpenning added that "In our
Region (Oregon, Idaho} they all give scholarships.
This is very evident, especially in schools like the
College of Southern Idaho and Ricks."
LCC's inability to produce athletic talent grants
comes from an ironclad policy decision born by
the LCC Board of Education some y~:irs ago. The·
policy (number 5141.7) simply states that athletics-as well as any other activity--will not warrant
any type of help from tax sources.
In fact, the only scholarships-that LCC offers is
one to each high school in the district at the end of
the year. Beyond that, any money given in the
form of a scholarship must come from an outside
source which
donates money to a specific
program.
But that's not to say that the Athletic Department hasn't tried to persuade the pol icy to be a
little less bigoted. They've been advocating to at
least be able to hand out a few terms of free
tuition, if not to have a few dollars to recruit with.
They call this a Tuition Offset.
Dean of Students Jack Carter presented one of
the reasons why the Board may be refusing the
offsets. "Say at Lane we had 40 talent grants at
full tuition. That would be $12,000 a year. With
women added, it would be $20,000 to $25,000 a
year." That would buy two and a half teachers, at

least. And Carter says, therefore, you get _into
problems.''
And so the Board has maintained its stubborness with 5141. 7, and the Athletic Department
is still trying to change it's mind.
Associate Dean of Instruction Jim Piercy said
"I personally believe colleges should award
scholarships to alt students who perform for the
college. If a student performs any service, like
being on the TORCH staff, student government,
or an athletic participant, it would be a condition
to warrant money being received.
"But," the Dean continues, 11 the college
doesn't need more students to come here, so
they're saying 'why do it?' " He sees little hope
then, of tuition offsets. ''When the day comes
that LCC needs more students, and there is an
outside source ... if that day happens, there wilt
be a possibility. Until then . . . I can't even
conceive of it th is year.''

Director of Athletics
Bob Radcliff responds,
"We're just saying,
'hey, other schools have
talent grants and we're
losing athletes because
we can't offer them anything.' " Radcliff vows
that the Athletic Department will continue to
make its submissions for
tuition offsets. "We' II
just keep trying,'' he
-said.

indeed for them to say that deep down they really
don't even want talent aids.
But this is the consensus of all the coaches-the
peculiar paradox that although they need them,
they don't want them.
Daggett even went so far as to say that ' ' An
athletic scholarship program is the beginning of
all evil."
And this makes sense. In the major colleges
and universities nation-wide, athletics has
become a big business, running rampant with
recruiting corruption, offering athletes under-the·
table contracts, and even peverseness like making
available unethical money, cars, and even in some
cases, sex. All to recruit an athlete.
Cooley said that the colleges and universities in
Oregon got together and it was their ''consensus
it would be worse having athletic scholarships
than not. They didn't vote on it, they just
discovered it. I think women have had the opportunity to seerthe mistakes of the men's program."
Mt. Hood Community College is the only school
in Oregon that offers women's athletic scholarships. Cooley said that it hasn't been much of a
catalyst for their program there. In fact, LCC

--..,.,

smothered Mt. Hood in women's track competition this year.
And thus the paradox. The coaches need the
scholarship to have the same equal recruiting
advantage that the other schools in the OCCAA
have. But they don't need them to preserve the
fundamental philosophy of competition.
There seems to be I ittle hope of the Board ever
offering any type of talent aid to athletes, either in
money or tuition offset. About the only means
possible now would be a direct donation from an
outside source which specificies the money to be
used in intercollegiate athletics.
Dean Carter says that, no, he suspects LCC will
never offer talent aids to athletes.
''We will probably see a move away from talent
grants,'' he said. ''The interesting thing is that in
Oregon and elsewhere even those who are giving
talent aids want to move away from it."
The major universities are already cutting
talent aids to minor sports. The OCCAA may do
away with scholarships some day, according to
Radcliff. The Northwestern Athletic Conference
already has.
But the dilemma for the LCC coaching staff
continues. Until no one can give scholarships,
they are left with their hands tied. But, perhaps,
this· way we can't hurt ourselves.
-

In the meantime, the coaching staff is
recruiting without a nickel, usually giving away at
the best a free lunch and after that a tour of the
school. But actually, the latter has been a strong
selling point.
Tarpenning says, "First, .1 sell the college and
the academic program. Then I sell myself and !ast
of all I try to present the athletic program. If
money is of primary importance to a kid then I
have to tell him not to come here ... "
Many of the community colleges in Oregon
argue that the only reason they can compete with
LCC now is their ability to offer financial
assistance. Otherwise, they could· never contend
with LCC's superior academic structure.
The coaches also recruit by using the theory
that LCC can be a transition into a four-year
institution. Susan Cooley, women's track coach,
said "People we get either aren't academically
ready for LCC, or they can't attend a university
because the tuition is to high."
Miller says, ''You have to sell the scholastic
program. We're lucky to have such a nice campus
with the super instruction that we do." Miller
said he was able to recruit an athlete from
McMinville because the college sold itself. "He
wanted to play baseball plus go to school. The
cost of tuition was so reasonable (and academic
facilities so large) that the kid figured he couldn't
'--flli.s s. ' '
"With no financial aid, ·I spend twice as much
time recruiting as I would with them," •says
Creed. And for him, this means that "it never
really ends." He said "I go to all of the meets
and tournaments that I can, and I try to stay in
•
contact with all the athletes I'm trying to recruit
during the summer."

about recruiting. When they have a girl capable

enticement is there than that?''

HIND SIGHT ON HITCHHIKING
1

It's all in the Thumb
by Alan Estler
You, hitchhiker, are exposed mercilessly to the passing parade of
humanity. You are barraged by looks of hostility from passing rednecks or
catcalls and wolf whistles lambaste you. People you've never met flip the bird
'at you and offer you their thumbs down or a thumb back up the road or a
thumb up your posterior.
You, lady hitchers, are living down the wistful, wishful thinking of horny
hotheads that read too many dime novels about horny mushmelonheads like
themselves, scoring lusty, lady thumb-trippers. Stoked on stroke books they
pick you up and perspire all over at you.
You, hitchhiking man, fear not the rare rapist of lewd, lascivious womanhood but beware the midnight male hustler and heads up at the drunken
sadists late at night on the lonesome highway. Duck the beer bottles from the
pickup passing you at 60 miles per hour-welt raise·rs, nose breakers or worse.
You, hitchhiking student, advertise your books, look intelligent and
'together' (a concept that need be your own!) Stand at the stoplight and look
at the faces of the peopl~ as they panic to avoid your eyes-that fellow suddenly
intently searching for a missing "whoosis" on the seat beside him; the girl
who sits beside you in BIOLOGY class and now just won't acknowledge your
existence. ("You would take liberties all over her body") thinks she,
defensively, irrationally, repulsively. Tappity-tap on her window and she,
"Oh, I didn't know that was you!" and you sit beside her, limp like ze dishrag
and thinking about walnut-honey popcorn and the frankenstein movie on TV
later. She drives tensely and tersely rebuffs any come ons like "nice day."
You cad!!
In the winter, you get rides in the back of campers full of friendly, soggy lap
dogs that slobber all over your beard and try to mount your girlfriend.
In the spring, the log trucks pass and splash the muddy puddles on your
groceries or school books, brand-new Afro or custom-tailored zoot-suit.
And summersunshine finds you gagging on bus exhaust and wincing at the
gravel showers of high-school punks racin·g down the main drag in
"sharp-chevies" with "hooker-headers" and "I like hookers" decals.
All year round, The Man will hassle you if you should slip and slide off the
curb ("No slipping, schlepp! ")
And all year round you tell your life story to dozens and dozens of stranger's
faces until you are yawning before you open your mouth and yearning for a
tape recorder to play it all for you.
"Oh lshkabibble, why have you forsaken me?"
"Hey suck acorns there, squirrelly scritch!"
"Oh man, what's wrong with these people?!"
Your thoughts ricochet like pinballs as you brace up under the strain of it
all. Hitchhikers .... why do you bother?
Well, let's flip the coin over and look at the brighter side and a-he! You are
saving lots of money on the going-going-gone gas prices! You are meeting a
wide variety of people, all of whom will eventually be quite interesting if you
can find the right frame of reference. Everybody got something to share with
you and when they share it, you real_ize that maybe even those you thought

were munoane ninnies have got something inside that makes them extra- 1
ordinary. You, hitchhiker, could expand upon this and perhaps become a '
philanthropist and join the P.eace Corps a la Albert Schweitzer--you teaching
stamp collecting to Ethiopians.
In the winter you get shelter from the rain and.warmth and a brand new Chi .
Chi Fandango album to listen to on the way home.
In the spring, you get some gardening tips from a fascinating old man with
a full beard pouring out of his ears and nostrils and onto his paunch. He tells
you your Fortune and you discover he will turn out to be your long-lost father
in a month or so and y.ou can't wait til it happens.
In the summer, you ride in the bed of a pick-up truck quite frequently until
you become gloriously burnished by wind and sun, consequently meeting the
man/woman of your dreams and absconding to an idyllic home in Hoboken,
New Jersey.
And all year round you record with incredible insight and authenticity, the
gut-clutching saga of an- American Vagabond. You write a book and sell the
movie rights and they cast Doris Day and Peter Fonda in the leads but you're
in Brazil 'neath tranquil, tropical waters and you care not a flapping flounder
as you glub on your snorkel, happily.
Yes folks, there is always that silver lining to look tor on cloudy days. '
Remember, you might be your own worst enemy if you let the sea of faces get
you down. Think about Frankenstein movies and walnut-honey popcorn or •
whatever turns you on and keep your thumb out-your ride is just a few cars •
away and you know it.
If any hitchhikers reading this are rapists or ripoffs I'd just like to say you're
a small minority and shame on you.

One of the services offered through the LCC
Health Services is testing for sight and hearing.
These tests serve as screening to determine
whether a problem exists which would necessitate
more thorough testing. They .are given on Wed.
10-12. You must sign up for them ahead of time in
the clinic.
This service is paid for by the
development fund.
Dr. Ediger of the Eugene Hearing and Speech
Center has given us some interesting information
about noise and hearing loss. Our everyday
_e nvironment contains both high and low noise
levels irritating to our ears.
Noise from
motorcycles, boats, firearms, and traffic can lead
to hearing loss. How any noise affects hearing
depends on individual susceptibility, the decibel .
level, length of exposure, and the frequency - the
cycles per second. Anything over 85 decibels has
a substantial risk of hearing loss.

• - For most people, going to a rock concert
probably won't cause any damage, although it is a
possibility. Loud music is more likely to be a
source of hearing loss for the musicians, who are
close to the amplifiers day after day. Pilots of jet
planes also may be affected by high noise levels.
Some hobbies are especially dangerous to
hearing. Gunfire is particularly hard on the ears. •
Though it's of short duration, it is of very high
intensity, 150 decibels or more.
.
Oregon has-quite a bit of occupationalnearing '
loss. ·industries such as lumber, sheet metal,
canneries, and others have high noise levels.
'There are laws which require employers to
'provide protection for employees against this.
Low, continuous environmental noise, such as
that from an air conditioner, can be psycholog- •
ically irritating.
As for sight, ttie ideas that the brighter the

better isn't true according to Dr. Redfield of the
County Health Dept. Higher levels of lumens
(measure of brightness) are promoted to sell more
expensive fixtures not because they are necessary
or helpful. Lumen levels • are often as high as 200,
where 30-50 would be adequate. So much light
creates lots of heat, which results in overuse of
the cooling systems. We adjust to higher levels of
light and become used to the unnecessary
brightness~
A way to keep your eyes from feeling tired
when reading is to look up occasionally. It is the
muscles of the eyes which get tired from being in
one position.

by Jan_Brown

The tangle of thorn-covered briar
vin·es and tall oat grass thrashed
, wildly. As the dry vines snapped
under the weight of the intruder, Al
Stromme waited quietly.
Then his heart began to pound a
drumbeat in his ears ·announcing the
coming danger which he thought was
an angry black bear.
A handmade buckskin shirt hung
from Strdmme's sloping shoulders and

hugged his short, thick body. The long
uneven tail reached almost to his
knees.
Ragged edges marked the leather
pant legs as if something _had nibbled '
at them unnoticed. No socks protected
Stromme's dirty feet which were
encased in well-worn moccasins. No
animal-sounds identified the frantic
beast as it fought its way through the
thicket.

Stromme's slightly trembling trngers unplugged the powder horn that
hung from a leather thong over one
shoulder and poured the black powder
into a small tin powder measure,
spilling some in his haste.
He steadied the flintlock and pourea
the dark explosive into the narrow
muzzle. His stubby fingers moved
mechanically, feeling for the linen in
the pouch which hung from the same
strap as the horn. Ripping off a piece
of the cloth, he wet it in his mouth,
retrieved it and placed it over the end
of the rifle barrel. It was close now; no
longer thrashing but moving cautiously as it sensed Stromme ' s presence .
The fingers again searched the
pouch; this time for the cold lead ball
that was to lie upon the linen bed. He
pushed the ball down on the linen
wadding and trimmed the cloth in
quick jerking motions .
There was no hesitation, the fingers
knew each step. They maneuvered the
ramrod from its place on the under
side of the barrel, fed it into the
muzzle and rammed the ball hom·e
with a sharp thrust--while the fingers
worked; his mind was focused on the
unknown danger in the crackling
brush.
~tromme, a part-time LCC student
who lives in Eugene, didn't meet a
bear that day, it was only a scarred
coyote. But he was prepared to defend
himself--not as a modern hunter with a
.300 magnum rifle and 4-power scope,
but with the same kind of weapon a
frontiersman of the early 1800's would
have used to defend himself.
"I've hunted these hills around
Eugene all my life," Stromme said ,
"but the past few years it didn't seem
like much of a challenge--the deer
don't have a chance against the
high-powered repeating rifles.''

Al Strommer loads his Pennsylvania Flintlock

So Stromme dectded to even the
odds by hunting with a single-sho1
rifle. In 1969, he bought a copy of c
1790 Pennsylvania Flintlock; and ir
doing so he met other men who sharec
his disdain about modern huntinf
mett"1ods but who enjoyed shootinf
old-time rifles.
Stromme and this group of men find
the challenge of the wilderness a
refreshing escape from their everyday
lives. They have formed a unique
association caUed " Courers de dais ,"
which translated , means '' wilderness
,travelers ."
According to the Courers de aois
charter, any member of the group may
call a " rendezvous, " which means he
must offer a prize to the man who most
successfully survives the rendezvous
weekend in the wilderness using only
the equipment an early mountain man
would have had available to him.
That means the participants may
use only tools , weapons, clothing, or
utensils that were used before 1840. If
modern equipment is used, the participant is penalized accordingly.
If a member should strike a match
instead of using a more primitive firestarting method, it would mean points
against him in the final tally.
" It isn't the prize itself that 's important, " Stromme said, "but it's knowing that the others chose you as the
most self-sufficient of the bunch;
that's what matters.''
Garments must be hand-sewn (the
sewing machine, invented in Germany
in the 1840's, wasn't used in America
until a later date). Stromme's moun, taineering shirt and pants are made of
leather and the pants are hand laced.
Since the shirt is machine sewn, however, t,e is relacing it by hand to
conform to the group's standards.
He made his seamless hat by
stretching a piece of elkhide over a
three-pound coffee can full of rocks ,
beating on it to soften the leather, and
stretching and shaping it as it dried in
front of the fireplace. The Oregon
Indian, who was a true leather craftsman, would have chewed it, Stromme
commented.
If the weather is cold, he will take
his "capote," a cape-like hooded
garment made from a wool blanket.
Part of the challenge is to take the
minimum amount of equipment. No
one has a sleeping bag, but instead
uses animal skins or a blanket for a
bed.
The bare essentials for a rendezvous
are a muzzle loading rifle, a powder
horn, flint and steel to start a fire , a
knife, tomahawk, blanket, and cooking
pot. Any extra gear is considered a
luxury rather than a necessity.
The fifteen men gather from around
the state and hike a seldom used trail
that circles Broken Top Mountain in
the Cascades. They set up camp in a
clearing about 400 yards off the trail to
' 'get rid of the pilgrims'' (get away
from civilization).

very dedicated to a less complicated
way of life than the average American
is used to."

enjoy roughing it--eating out of a dirty
pot and leaving their (machine-sewn)
underwear at home."

Fifty years ago the debating

decided that they should not ,
the women themselves being
most earer advocates of the
negative . Yet here the women
are swarming into business
and thinking out new lines of
work. And they are protesting
the while that they much prefer the "sphere of the home. "
May this not be the result in
politics, too? How long will it
be before the business woman
demands the franchise? And
when she is numerous and determined , how is mere man to
stand out against her?

Nature--the soul of Nature-flashing forth its message as a
spark that passes criticism,

and finds the soul of man, as
swift and straight as steel goes
to the loadstone. Thus does
genius work. It does not demand fulfillment of its purpose, the setting apart of a
life, or the abnQrmal twisting
of one's natural instincts and
inclinations.
It is true that the demands

of marriage upon women are
exacting. It is true that because of these demands women have been unable to
compete with men in the arts
and professions and sciences.
But even in this hardship
there is virtue. The arts and
professions and sciences have
been sufficiently overcrowded
with mediocre talent and inferior ability without their
help. If we are to have women
entering into these fields, let
us have women who excel.
That these women will marry

nor practical conditions, nor
the exigencies of a bad marriage, nor yet the more formidable comfort and content of a .
good one, can put down
genius or stifle its expression.
For genius is not a matter of
time spent in practice. It is
not evidenced by a trick of the
hand that carves or paints, nor
is it the output of the polished
intellect. That which we call
genius is the voice of the soul,
speaking through these mediums its message of beauty
and _love and truth.

There is no better equipment

has put at our disposal. No
man or woman is of himself a

total of over 1,400 organized,

a portion of the State National
Guard or under the control of the
State authorities. The force
would make, if divided into
regiments and placed in the
militia, two full regiments of six
companies each, and would be a
welcome addition to the State's
available forces. Aside from the
questionable taste of parades in
our streets of bodies of men
carrying flags of foreign nations ,
and uniformed in the gaudy trappings of Italian, German, Irish
and French commands, it would
undoubtedly be for the interest of
all concerned if thes.e independent commands could be reuniformed and given a place in our
National Guard. This city is as
well able to support five regular
infantry regiments as it is to
support three, when added to that
number are 1,400 men besides,
each company of whom independently ask countenance and
support. It is to be hoped that a
joint meeting of all the independent commands will be soon
called, in order to take steps
towards consolidation and entering the National Guard. It is
understood that the matter is
being discussed and the projects
should be certainly well received
by all.

•Negro Man Jailed
Girl Said Insane
GALESBURG (Ill.), September 16.--We have a genuine sensation here, the elopment of a
white woman, Miss Chase, with a
negro. The girl belongs to a
family of the highest respectability, she being the daughter of
an eminent clergyman of the
Episcopal Church, the Rev. Mr.
Chase, who was mentioned for
the office of Bishop of this diocese
at the time of the election of the
present incumbent. She is also a
sister-in-law of Rector Higgins of
the Episcopal church of this city.
Miss Chase is a handsome and
vivacious little woman of about
twenty. She has been highly
educated and always moved in
the best society. The negro, Sam
Monroe, is a tall, good-looking,
copper colored fellow, who has
been in the employ of •Rector
Higgins, with whom Miss Chase
has been residing for the past
year.
Of late the tongue of
scandal has whispered the girl's
name in connection with the
negro, but the gossip met with
general disbelief, so that the
announcement on Tuesday night
that they had eloped, going some
ten miles west of the city to the
house of a colored man by the
•name of Tom Payne, where they
were married by Mr. Mills,
Justice of the Peace, was received
here on Wednesday with astonishment and incredulity until
confirmed by the arrest of Monroe on a charge of larceny based
on his taking a satchel from the
rectory at the time of their flight.
He has been confined in the
county jail, the hearing being set
for Saturday morning. The girl's
present whereabouts are unknown and profound secrecy is
manifested on that point. Many
wild rumors are about on the
street. One story is that the girl is
crazy; another that the marriage
had become a necessity to prevent disgrace. The general impression, however, seems to be
that she is not in her right mind.
The negro, when interviewed thi~
morning on the subject, was very
indignant at his arrest, saying
that they had a perfect right to get
married if they wanted. He also
says that he had intended to go
away someplace else to live, but
that now he will settle down right
here with the girl and go to housekeeping. There seems to be no
indications of any attempt at
violence upon the negro, the general verdict being that one party
is as much to blame as the other.

Despondent Italian

1

A despondent Italian, who gave
the name . of Charley French,
threw himself three times last
evening into the bonfire that was
blazing at the intersection of
Montgomery avenue, Broadway
and Dupont streets, in celebration
of the triumphal entry ' of the
Italian soldiers into Rome. He
was prevented by Officer Webb
from making a fourth attempt,
and then arrested for drunkenness. The Italian said he had no
money, had nothing to live for
and wanted to kill himself.

Colony Of Tramps
Are Discovered
On Sunday a colony of tramps
were discovered in the willows,
near Shell Mound Park. It was
stated to the officers that a
number of them slept in Mr.
Wiard's stable, so early yesterday
morning several constables made
a raid on the stable, where
thirteen poor wretches
were
found, whom the officers attempted to arrest. Eleven submitted to
arrest quietly, but two ran away.
The officers opened fire upon the
runaways, delivering in all, thirteen •shots, one of which took
effect in the leg of one of the
fugitives as he was observed to
limp as he disappeared in the
willows. An examination of the
willows, which is a very dense
thicket, revealed a regular camp
'where some twenty-five vagabonds were living. Three were.
crippled and took care of the
·camp. Oyster cans, fruit and
vegetable cans and other evi·dence of good living were scat,tered about. The cripples, when
:arrainged, stood up, one by one, ·
'and pleaded not guilty, and the
tease was continued until today.

First Woman Admitted
To Medical Congress

[

The first "she doctor" --to use a
term applied 40 years ago as a
reproach--ever admitted as a
member of the international medical Congress, is Fannie Dickinson, of Chicago, to whom that
body, now assembl~d in Washington, has just opened its doors.
In being a little woman she recalls
the first lady upon whom was
legally and officially conferred the
degree of doctor of medicine. The
petite Elizabeth Blackwell, while
teaching music for a living, made
time to study medicine, anatomy,
and Latin. She applied for admission into all the medical
colleges in the United States at
that period--or at least to all
whose addresses she could command. All but one refused her
request, and on various grounds,
it being with some that, as she
proposed to make obstetrics her
study, it would be unbecoming in
a woman to receive instruction
from males in the nature and laws
of her organism. The faculty of
the Geneva College, this State,
admitted .her, and she be~n her,
course in November 1844. She
was graduated five years later
and went to the Hospital of
Maternity, Parts, and afterward
to the Hospital of St. Bartholomew, London. She came back to
this city in 1851 and put out her
sign as a practicing physician.
Doctors declined to meet her in
counsultation, and her path again
became thorny. After a time two
eminent New York physicians decided to call her in whenever they
should need her knowledge, and·
this was her starting point. In
1853 subscriptions established a
dispensary for women and children. It was chartered in the following year as the New York
Infirmary and Dispensary, was
situated in Second avenue, and
Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell was made
its Superintendent. Geneva College refused to admit her sister,
Emily, as well as rejected the
application of Miss Sarah R.
Adamson, of Pennsylvania, the
reason assigned by the Faculty
being that the admission of Elizabeth was an experiment, not a
precident. Miss Adamson in 1850
gained access to the Eclectic College, in Syracuse, New York, and
Emily Blackwell, in 1852, was admitted to the Rush College,
Chicago. Both were graduated
and became physicians of large
practice. The female doctors who
have passed through a regular
course now number many hundreds in the States alone. Not·
more than three or four are
oculists, like Dr. Dickinson. San
Francisco has one in the person of
the daughter of the late Senator
Sargent.

electrical energy. Thus the X-ray light is produced
in the X-ray tube and to this light the patient is
exposed from one-half to three minutes according
to the density of the part of the body to be photo- .
graphed. After the exposure the negative plate is
developed by the ordinary photographic process.
Looking into the interior of a person with an eye,
aided by a spy-glass, was made possible by the
inventio_n of W. C. Fuchs, manager of the Chicago
X-ray laboratory. This is accomplished with the
aid of salts, which when taken internally has a
peculiar effect on the X-ray, causing it to brightly
illuminate the stomach. The salts are by scientists
called tongstate of calcium, barium platinum
·cyanide and uranium. The patient is made to drink
a full glass of these salts dissolved in water. An
X-ray machine is so placed as to cast its rays on the
stomach. This causes the liquid to light up the
interior of the stomach. An instrument called a
cystoscope, which is a sort of telescope, fitted with
a small mirror so that a person can see out at right
angles to the end, is then pushed down the
patient's throat into his s_tomach and the physician
makes his examination. Formerly the cystoscope
was used with a small electric light attached to its
end, but the light grew •so hot that the patient
suffered great torture.

REVELATION TO SCIENCE

It is· easier to take the picture of° a thin person
than a fleshy one with an X-ray machine. To take
the picture the negative plate is placed under the
. patient instead of in the camera. The piate, which
in size corresponds to the portion of the body to be
photographed, is laid flat on a board and the board
rests on a common surgical chair. The person
whose interior is to be photographed, is laid flat on
the negative plate, the board being placed between
the plate and the chair cushion to keep the former
from breaking. An X-ray tube is then placed over
the part of the body to be photographed. From this
-is extended the leading-in wires, which connect the
tube with the static machine, the source of

The certificate of birth of the
baby of Miss Eva Keppel, on
whose account young Federick T.

years old, and the father's name
as Frederick T. Horton, occupation clerk. The child is a boy and
is now doing well, as is his
mother. It has not been named.
Mr. Keppel, Eva's father, has
continued to deny that his daughter has become a · mother up to
yesterday, and an unsuccessful
effort was made to conceal the
fact.

Two Physicians Defended
On Friday last Commissioner
Porter received from Dr. E. C.
Dent, Medical Superintendent,
charges seriously affecting the
characters of two physicians of
the Blackwell's Island staff. They
were referred ' at once to Dr.
MacDonald, who _will investigate
the charges and report tomorrow.
The physicians were Dr. B. A.
Harris and Dr. Smallwood, and
the charges implicate two female
nurses.
Commissioner Porter said yes~

course they should be drummed
out of the profession as soon as
possible, but I am sorry the
matter was made public before
their guilt was decided. I never
heard before of any immorality
among the nurses at the island.
These two young men ~re of good
families and came to us highly
recommended. Dr. Harris has
been on the staff for four years,
Dr. Smallwood but a few mon_ths.

The "Torpid liver" Myth
A silly notion that is widely
prevalent is that relative to inaction of the liver. The term
"Torpid liver" is in everyone's
mouth, and is held to account for
every bad feeling, whether it be
to excess in eating or drinking,

exercise, excitement over bad

ONE

AN OLD SUBJECT DISCUSSED
EXTREME PENALTES FOR CRME
,SOME OF THE BARBAROUS PUNISHMENTS OF HISTORY
DISPROPORTION BETWEEN
THE OFFENSE AND THE - PENALTY
The truth about the agitation
for the abolition of the death
penalty is that in out age a very
natural reaction against the
cruelties of 40 centuries has not
yet spent its force, and reactions
proverbially sin in the direction of
excess. No wonder that we, still
less than our immediate ancestors, should sometines have erred
by too fond a clemency, for our
remote ancestors wer~ horribly
cruel, though it has been urged in
their defense that moral indignation was a stronger force with
them than it is with us. Whatever
may be the value of this apology,
certain it is that our fathers of
pre-Christian, of medieval, and
even of later times, wrote history
in letters of blood and fire. It is
horrible to think of the ingenuity
once displayed by men in devising torments for one another,
though haply a future generation
may find not less cause for
wonder in thinking of the skill and
patience shown by men of the
present day in contriving engines
for destroying life at a distance of
five miles or for sinking a ship
with a crew of 500 men at three
minutes no ice. It is really quite a
pity that persons with a taste for
"atrocites" should trouble themselves to make journeys to the hot
and comfortless East at the
chance of seeing or hearing of a
bastinado, or to investigate a
fabulous story concerning an

impalement, when our own history, as well as that of all other
nations, is so rich in well-authenticated stories of the same kind.
Some of the most cruel punishments ever inflicted were no
doubt the result of a burst of
indignation against some peculiar
or novel crime and are not
altogether so dicreditable to
hµman nature as might, be supposed. They were in truth, very
mttc);I akin to the emotional
legislation of the present day.
The duke of Somerset described a
recent Act of Parliment as the
fruit of a fit of hysterics. In the
sixteenth' century and act to· deal
,with the same evils would probably have prescribed some barbarious punishments for negligent ship-owners. Thus, in the
reign of Henry VIII. , society was
profoundly moved at hearing that
the Bishop of Rochester's cook
had poisoned 17 persons. True,
only two of the 17 died, but
society nevertheless managed to
get itself into that fr~me of mind
which Lord Melbourn so wisely
dreaded and -:which demands that
"something'' .shall be done. The
somethihg done in the year of
grace 1531 was to pass a bill
through·both Houses of Parliment
awarding the penalty of boiling to
death to persons guilty of so awful •
a crime. The act was·-even made
retrospective; and the : unfort_u..:.nate Richard Roose, otherwise ·

Coke, duly expiated his sins in
this horrible fashion. In 1952,
Margaret Davy, a young woman,
suffered in the same manner for a
similar crime. It is only fair to the
memory of the generation which
had the foundations of our religious freedom to remember that
the cruel act was repealed in
1547.
What strikes one most about
the justice of the good old times is
the utter disproportion between
the offense and the penalty which
is too often to be found. Thus, we
read, that in the year 1628 "two
dyers of Exeter were flogged fo
teaching their art in the north of
England. Obviously the offense
in question, if there were offense,
was one which only balled at the
most for an action of tort. Again,
in 1572 it was enacted that
'' sturdy beggars'' should be
'' greviously whipped and burned
through the right ear.'' If caught
a third time at their occupation of
''sturdy'' begging they were to be
hanged.
How men have almost· in all
ages been barbarously punished
for holding opinions which had
scarcely any influence on their
lives, is perhaps the most melancholy as it is the most undoubted
fact in history.
