Student use of the Lane Community College health service rose for the third 1 straight year in 1974-75, according to a report released by health services coordinator Laura Oswalt. Patient visits totaled 11,302 last year, up from 9,965 in 1973-74 and 7,902 in 1972-73. The average visits per day also increased, from 63 a day in 1973-74 to 71 last year. In 1972-73 the health service saw 55 students a day. . The student health service is funded nearly equally with money from the LCC, general fund and from student fees. • Services inc!u?e primary health care, a Women's Chmc, control and treatment of communicable disease, peer counseling, first aid, vision and hearing tests, referral, and emergency dental care. Why take the chance? LCC Student health Service urges students not covered with -sickness/ accident and major medical insurance to consider the bargain available to them on camous for $16. 75 per term. That's so much less than $100 and up for hospital care per day. Last year Americans spent over $100 bi]Jion for health care. For each of us this represented an average bill of $450 or nearly $1800 for a family of four. -Joe had a motorcycle accident: unconscious 60 hours, multiple abrasions, etc., was in the hospital three weeks, including one week in intensive care. Hospital bill totaled $4700 (exclusive of the doctor's bill). No insurance! -Jane tripped in dance class: fell on her elbow, x-rays and anesthesia, hospital services and medicine totaled $282, exclusive of doctor's bill. No insurance$ -George fell on a flight of stairs and wrenced his back. Ten days of tests and hospital care (exclusive of doctor's bill) cost $1800. No insurance$ Sad, but so what? Most students are 'medically indigent', meaning that the person is not legally poor but likely to become poor if instantly hit by expensive illness. For this reason you should be sure you are protected against catastrophic medical /hospital bills. One of the best bargains available to avoid catastrophe to your student budget and saddling yourself with huge debts is to purchase the voluntari acciden~, sickne~~, and major medical expense insurance for students available to you in the LCC Business Office for $16. 75 per term. If you are under age 19 you may not have coverage under your parents' insurance umbrella. Lane County has no free hospital services. Alone, one x-ray for $45, -0ne emergency room visit for $25, one bout of sickness for $80, can financially curtail your education plans .... not to mention more drastic accidents.

[See related stor'f, Heceta caretaker reprimanded, regulations .changed by Mike Mclain Harry Tammen, the caretaker at LCC's Heceta House near Florence has been placed on probationary status, and several new regulations concerning the use of the col fegerented facility have been establishd as an administrative response to the shooting incident at Heceta, Sept. 5. The shooting was the result of several arguments between one of the weekend guests and Tammen at the retreat facility north of Florence. The House had been reserved for a weekend meeting between the Board of Education and the student government. When ASLCC secretary Connie Hood and her husband Barry arrived with their dog an argument ensued in the yard with Tammen over the regulation prohibiting dogs at Heceta. The Hoods went to the beach with their dog and returned a half hour later. Barry Hood and Tammen then got into a more violent argument which culminated in Hood spitting on Tammen. The Hoods decided to leave ~d were walking to their car when New management for food services by Cris Clarke LCC's Food Services will go under the management of a catering service as a result of a decision in the Sept. 24 meeting of the Board of Education, to hire Mannings Inc. to oversee the da -to-day operations of the cafeteria, Tammen went to an upstairs window and fired a .22 caliber pistol into a woodpile as a warning shot. The Hoods then left to rent a motel where they kept their dog for the remainder of the weekend. There were no further incidents that weekend. Tammen was informed in a memo last week for Dean of Business Operations Tony Birch that ''regardless of Heceta House operating rules and the personal provication,'' his firing a pistol in response to an altercation was "most inappropriate." "Therefore," the memo continued, "please consider this letter to you a formal reprimand of the execution of your job responsibilities at the Heceta House and your placement on a 'probationary' status. If any further incidents of a related nature occur, we will then seek termination." The memo continued ''Disclosure of a firearm and/or the evidence of rude and abusive language with any of the oublic using the facility will not be tolerated.'' the TORCH was unable to reach Tammen for comment Monday evening at press time. The college administration also set some rules to be put into effect immediately. 1. No firearms are to be on the facility. 2. The dog control rules should be modified to be no more restrictive than the County's. (It was suggested that dogs be allowed, but they must be kept on a leash, in cages, automobiles, or otherwise restricted. Dogs should not be permitted in the house. An area should be identified on the grounds for dogs to use for elimination.) 3. The Board of Education rule about the use of intoxicants on campus (alcohol is not allowed) should be firmly enforced. 4. Tammen who advised that he has the responsibility to inform the users of the facility of the rules, but he is not to attempt to enforce them. 5. All groups using the facility, as a condition of use, are to designate one individual as responsible for the group. restaraunt and snack bar facilities. The proposal passed on a 5-2 vote with opposition from Board members Jim Martin and Larry Perry, but Ken director of Food Services Brownell is in favor of it. He sees the contract as a potential money-saving device. "I doubt if prices wi II come down," says Brownell, "but I also doubt that the prices I would have had to raise without Mannings Inc. will go up." The San Francisco-based company has a distribution point in Portland from which it purchases and ships large quantities of food. Will we be buying our food from them? Two managerial candidates will be sent in this week to compete for the position. According to Brownell, at least some assumption of the duties by the Mannings Inc. person will come about by Oct. 13. Mannings Inc. will also provide the Food Services manage with back-up support by a food specalist. The specialist will add new depth to the managerial position in that problems which arise will be referred to him, and any areas in need of surveillance will be reported on, with recommendations for changes. The new manager will be freer to study merchandising, purchasing, and As a management than Brownell. Food Services instructor, Brownell has been able to manage the facility, but he has had no time to give special attention to any given area. ''There is no way I can specialize in any one of these areas,'' he says. Under the three-year contract, LCC will retain all its employees, retain a high profile as the only food service on campus, and determine the criteria for operating under the guidance of the Mannings manager. The contract is an open-end one year contract, where either party, LCC or Mannings Inc., may back out at the end of a yar. Mannings will receive 3.5 per cent of the net receip1s, which will entail , according to Brownell's estimation, approximately $15,000. Will quality and efficiency improve? A two year contract providing for a total increase in salay fringe benefits of 11.34 over last year for 260 half-time and full-time instructors was ratified last Thursday by a vote of 158-5. The contract will now go before the Board of Education , probably at this Wednesday night ' s meeting for its approval. The voting took place during a meeting in which George Alvergue , the new president of the LCC Education Association (LCCEA), assumed his office. Steve John, one of the LCCEA negotiators and also a chemistry instructor, said the highlights of the new contract were the 11.34 per cent benefits and salary increase and a change of one word in the Professional Salary Schedule lnterpretatin article relating to level increases. John felt the weaknesses in the contract was the failure in negotiations for faculty input on educational development and workload and the expansion of the Professional Development (sabbatical) Program. The 11.34 per cent Pay Package increase breaks down as follows: 1 per cent will go to an increase from $27 to $48.50 in the amount the college faculty pays for an individual member ' s insurance. The faculty members will have a choice of applying the money to dependent insurance or putting that amount into a long-term anuity fund. This additional money will begin flowing as of Jan. 1, , 1976. 1.6 per cent goes for the incremental cost (the amount norma·IIy incured when faculty members move through the annual pay steps and experience levels). " actual the 8.55 per cent is across-the-board wage increase. • The remaining .19 per cent is an amunt that may be used dependent on whether the insurance company handling the LCCEA account is successful in raising the premium. There is conflict with the college on whether premium raise is acceptale under their agreement. If there is no premium increase then the college can pocket the remaining funds. The word that was changed was in Artic•e 31 relating to professional salary and level advancement. The previous wording was '' Advancement to levels 3 and 4 will be made when the employee satisfies the criteria for levels 3 nd 4 as provided in Section 4 of this article.". The word "will" was replaced with "shall". According to Steve John, there had been a problem before when approximately 30 instructors who were eligible for level advancements were turned down by the college for various reasons. "The word 'will' left room for denial," John explained, "whereas 'shall' commits them to it." A method for input on educational development was on item the LCCEA failed to get written in its contract. John believes "the faculty should have in put on most if not al I of the educational decisions . . . curriculum development for instance. Two years ago we had a committee through which the faculty was a part of the process , but the Office of Instruction took over the function of that committee. '' Saying that there i s a " huge problem with workl04d,'' John expressed his disappointment at not gaining some " mechanism for input on the workload of the instructors. With the increase in enrollment and with the present funding limitations , the class size and the individual instructor ' s load increase could be detrimental to education . We need to have input.' ' John emphasized that '' these things we' II work on next time . pagef3---------f/~--------October7,1975· Urbane Guerrillas The Innocent Bystander By Arthur Hoppe/ Presidents Johnson and Nixon both solemnly_ pledged ''to create new jobs." And, thanks to their handling of Vietnam, Watergate and the economy, they did. • For example, Patricia Hearst, on being arrested, listed her occupation as a "self.-employed urban guerrilla." Ancf that's certainly a new job in our society. To learn more about the skills, qualifications and opportunities in this exciting field, I called on my cousin Herbert.

"Well, naturally I can't reveal the exact numbers," said Herbert cautiously. "But the enthusiasm's been terrific. In the first year alone, three enlistment applications came flooding in." ,, "What was your long range strategy?" "Our main problem was to deploy our four forces in such a way· as to lick the police, the National Guard, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Marines. Once they surrendered, we figured the Coast Guard would give up without a fight." ''Good thinking. And what tactics did you decide on?'' ''Oh, the usual revolutionary ones -shoplifting, not paying our light bill and sneaking under subway turnstiles. Ripping off oppressors shows them they can't go on downtrodding the downtrodden. Besides, you can save quite a bid of money that way." ''I'll bet. Did you employ violence, too?" "You can't make a revolution without breaking eggs.

"How did you learn new skills?" "On-the-job training. One of our guys learned to make bombs -- old Three Fingers Al. That's a nickname he acquired. And do you know the rotten government wouldn't give him Workmen's Compensation?'' "That seems unfair. But what are the most challenging day-to-day demands of the job?" Holing up. All the time, you have to hole up. But it really teaches you what's wrong with this country." "What's that?" ''Daytime tee-vee. I think it was about the forty-third re-run of I Love Lucy that we decided to change our name to the Up Against The Wall You Mother Real Estate Investment Trust.'' **** "You're in real estate now, Herbert?" "Right! We buy up tenements, evict the mothers and kids and hike the rents. Boy, is the loot pouring in! '' "But what about the revolution? You're an oppressor!" "Exactly. It's our new strategy. We figure the downtrodden won't revolt until they're more oppressed. So we're doing our part and you know what's great about it?,, "What?" ''Now the whole country wants to be on our side.

Dennis Many students turned away as classes filled and LCC' s doors were closed last week in the wake of a 31 per cent returning student enrollment increase. College officials. were asked if the glutted enrollment is future trend. LCC President Eldon Schafer expects fewer returning students next year, and also suggested the liklihood of increased tuition to keep the college running at top capacity. Dean of Students Jack Carter mulled-over the possibility of a screening process to help the college and students predict enrollment patterns. Both administrators warned these ideas are only tentative at best, however. On Sept. 26, 6,382 students were registered and spproximately 99 per cent of the classes were full and students were being turned away because there was no more room. Dean of Students Jack Carter told the • TORCH that one future possibility in dealing with the registration day frustration might be to screen students on the basis of past academic record. But Carter feels that this solution is contrary to the current philosophy of the college. Carter said that a more practical solution is to take a harder look at the courses LCC is offering "as compared to what students need or want to take ... '' Carter questions a whether the schedules, as now designed, really fulfill the needs of the students ... A lot of students are taking classes just to get into, LCC or to meet the GI Bill requirements." The key is money." According to Carter LCC needed more revenue in order to maintain a ·total open-door policy this year. Schafer LCC President cldon pointed out that for the past eight years, LCC has served more students ' than th State has funded it for. Yet even allowing for these additional students, this year LCC had to turn people away. Schafer said the college ''did not anticipate this heavy of an enrollment this year." The problem was caused by a .H per cent increase of the returning students. That means that there was less room for new students. While this situation cau_sed problems this year, it will make " a lot more openings for first year students next year, therefore the enrollment problem will not be as great," said Schafer. Schafer also pointed out that 2,000 of LCC's veterans will be completing their second year, thus creating more openings next year. 'The President said "without a dubt, tuition will increase next year . . . how much we can't say." Lane offers BBC courses for credit A series of nationally-broadca st television dramas produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation will be offered as a college course for credit this fall by Lane Community College. The series of twelve plays begins ·sept. 25 over KOAC (channel 7, Cable 5) and appears on LCC's class schedule as ''readings in Theater: Classic Theatre." Completion of the course carries thre.e hours' credit. Broadcasts are at 8 p.m. each Thursday, beginning with a 30-minute critical preview of the play by a noted scholar, and are repeated Sundays at 2 p.m. Students meet on campus with one of five instructors each Tuesday from 7:30-9 p.m. Location of the class will be announced. The instructors are Edward Ragozzino, Michael Rose, George Lauris, David Sherman and Richard Reid. All but Rose, who is a literature instuctor, are faculty members of the Performing Arts Department. Three textbooks--a collection of the plays, an anthology of critical essays and a story guide--will be available in the college bookstore, but are not required. Two exams will be given, one toward the middle of the course, and one at the end. Plays to be studied are "Macbeth," by William Shakespeare; "Edward 11, Christopher Marlowe; "Duchess of Malfi," John Webster; "Paradise Restored," a dramatization by Don Taylor about John Milton's later life; "She Stoops to Conquor," Oliver Goldsmith; "Candide," Voltaire; ''The Rivals,'' Richard Brinsley Sheridan; "The Wild Duck," adapted from Henrick Ibsen by Rolf Fjelde; "Hedda Gabler," Ibsen; "Trelawney of the Wells,'' Arthur Wing Pinero; ''The Three Sisters,'' Anton Chekhov; and "The Playboy of the Western World," John Millington Synge. Because "Macbeth" will be aired before school starts, a videotape of it will be available for viewing at a later time.

Fickle students force registration changes Returning students may have noticed 1,ome changes in the LCC registration procedure. As of Summer Term, full-time students are now required to pay at least $30 plus all fees before they may turn in their class cards. The class cards must be turned in on the same day that they are given to a registering student. LCC Registrar Robert Marshall says that this change is a result of students pulling class cards but never returning them or going to classes. Marshall feels this procatice occured ''because the students had no monetary involvement, therefore they did not inform LCC that they were not going to attend classes . ..We owed our first consideration to those serious in attending classes and to those we could be assured would be in classes when they began." Marshall said there is still the old problem of students enrolling in a class, then dropping it, and then adding another. He said this hinders many students who are unable to get the classes they need because the classes are already filled -- and often by people who do not need or want them. This problem, according to Marshall , will continue '' as long as the college is not able to offer all the classes that everyone wants.' ' Salary agreement reached with classified By Russ Linebarger The LCC Employees Federation voted overwhelmingly last Friday 120 to 9 to ratify a new two-year contract with 'the Board of Education. Among other benefits the contract provides the classified employees and 11.34 per cent over-all cost-ofliving increase. The contract must now receive official Board of Education approval to become a legally binding agreement. The LCCEF tenatively approved the contract on September 23, following two months of preparation and six months of persistent negotiations. The new contract was then presented to the employees on Oct. 2 for ratification in accordance to LCCEF constitutional requirements. LCCEF President Evelyn Tennis clarified the .i ncrease by taking a "medium" salary of $7,170 for a classified worker and showing that the new contract would yield an increase to $7811 for the coming year. The 11.34 per cent increase includes fringe benefits such as insurance coverage -- and is not the actual salary increase. Tennis expressed general approval of the new contract but said, "We are a little disappointed over the salary raise,'' and yet, ''very pleased over the insurance package in the new contract.'' New aspects of the recently ratified contract * Doubles the life insurance rate over the previous contract rom $10,000 to $20,000; * Doubles dental insurance coverage; * Provides two years of contractual employment protection, rather than the previous one year * Provides for an 11.34 per cent over-alJ cost of living increase D * Provides for further negotiations for cost-of-living raises next year, if the cost index for the Greater Metropolitian Portland area goes over 12 per The polls were open October 2 for votii;ig. At 10 a.m. on Oct. 3 the votes were counted. Of 129 members who voted, 120 voted for, 9 against the contract. 175 paid members were eligible to vote, but there are approximately 259 total classified workers at Lane. The contract now goes to the Board of Education for final approval at the next meeting set for October 8. Symposium honoring Jung at U of 0 Honoring the centennial anniversary of the birth of Carl G. Jung, a symposium is being sponsored by the University of Oregon Division of Developmental Studies and Services. The theme of the symposium is ''The Archetypal Psychology of Carl G. Jung." Current developments in Jungian psychol- _ ogy will be emphasized. Keynote speeches will be presented by Dr. J. Marvin two Jungian Spiegelman of Los Angeles and Dr. Crittendon E. Brooks of San Francisco. Small group presentations will feature clinical applications, patterns of creative expression, cultural and religious implications, and literary aspects of Jungian psychology. The "Pro Helvetia Panels of the Life and Works of C.G. Jung," a collection from two biographical Zurich, and art and book displays will complement the symposium. The symposium will be held Friday and Saturday, October 25th and 26th, at the Erb Memorial Union, University of Oregon. A detailed program will be available in September. Pre-registration forms or inquiries about the symposium may be directd to De Busk Memorial Center, University of Oregon. ALLWE CAN TELL YOU IS THATMENWHO ...

Like so many of us, LCC's own radio station became a victim of the faltering economy. Last April the college district residents failed to approve a new college budget and capital outlay request. The college administration took a very close look at KLCC. A massive letter-writing campaign by KLCC listeners in May persuaded the college to continue its support for another year. After that, KLCC had a choice: Either go the way of the nickel beer, high button shoes and the buffalo, or become an independent radio station. Independence for KLCC required power in the form of a 10,000 watt transmitter, and 10,000 watt transmitters don't come cheap. The one KLCC needed will cost $10,000. That's a buck a watt, and that's what the KLCC Buckawatt Marathon was all about. The further the station can broadcast, the more listeners it can reach. As a listener-supported station, more listeners means more money, and more money means improved and more diversified programming. That was the theory. 7 7 pet1t10 ~r .1} S-...i So KLCC had a marathon to raise the bucks for the watts it needed. All regularly scheduled programming was suspended. The marathon ran 24 hours a day for the four days it took to raise the money. All the programming, including the music, was live. They auctioned off scores of items and services over the air, including honey, yogurt, a galvanized water can, a pound of cheese, calculators, gift certificates, books, a guitar, and even a Drunk Duck T-shirt. There were sporting events, such as a staff-listener volleyball j?ame in studio A. There were local bands playing, documentaries, exposes, and other insane carryings-on. And if that wasn't enough, they called in an expert. Steve Post of WBAI in New York used his vacation time to be on hand. Post was involved in the very first public radio marathon at WBAI in 1965. If you didn't tune them in, you may have missed the most imaginative, most exciting, not to mention the strangest radio program you've ever heard. But then, it may become a regular event _i_n the future. KLCC Marathon blow by -blow W.e dnesday Although the KLCC staff was new to the Marathon business, by midnight Wednesday, 12 hours into a grueling drive for dollars, they were well ahead of their original goal of $100 per hour--the count was over $2,000 dollars. David Winters, local musician, was just leaving the studio after donatin2 his time and talent for live spot in the programming. To relieve the tensions built up after hour~ 01 oeggtng tor money, the KLCC staff held a Volleyball game in Studio A with the LCC Veterans Association, volunteers, and hangers-on. The marathon continued through the night, and predictably, things slowed down. To pass the time, recorded music was played periodically to save the staff's voices for the hard day's work to come. David Winters was amo_ n g the local talent that donated their time and energy to the marathon and helped raise thousands of dollars for KLCC. Thursday By 2 p.m. Thursday the total was close to $3,700 but KLCC was falling behind its hourly goal. A local band "Mithrander" was in the studio, giving the staff time to reorganize and rack brains tor another hook, a new idea or a different approach to the marathon, but it was to no avail. This was th~ beginning of the infamous ''Thursday slump'' that was to drain the spirits and sap energies. Willie Weatherly, KLCC fund director, tried to explain it away: He told his people not to worry, that the originally curious had had their curiosity satisified. They would stage a come-back on the weekend he said, when people had more time to listen. This slump was to be expected. But as the total slipped hour by hour, confidence dwindled. As things got worse, the staff needed a break, so at 7 p.m. KLCC presented a four hour tape, produced by Steve Post, on the last 17 days of the Nixon Administration. This gave the staff time to relax, and pick its cumulative brains for a fresh approach to its faltering marathon. communrcy .; __ October 7, 1975 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ...... Listener supported radio station becoming a real possibility Matter now in hands of FCC Friday It wasn't until a single donation of $125 Friday afternoon that · things began to take a turn for the better. But it wasn't good ' enough. Tom Lichty, KLCC program director, got on the air and scathed his listeners for their apathy. The response was immediate. Dollars rolled in. But this set the trend for the weekend--the marathon leveled out, volunteers manned the phone, local bands played live, and everyone was once again convinced that KLCC would make the $10,000 needed for the new transmitter. In fact, confidence was so high some members were afraid they might end the marathon too soon. So they slowed down the pitch, played more music, and in the 99th hour, at 30 seconds to S p._m. Sunday, the grand total was $10,043. And over KLCC's airwaves a cheer went out, marching bands played, cathedral bells pealed, and the staff got into a car, headed to the Paddock and got roaring drunk. "In the last 40 minutes we got $561," Tom Lichty said proudly. "I don't know how we did it, but I'm not complaining." The bullpen was sometimes a behive •of activity, sometimes nearly dead. By the end of the last day, loyal KLCG boosters, both in the control .room and in the bullpen, had given everything they had -- and then some -- to the station. Day ater The day after the Marathon, Tom Lichty was asked what he planned to do next. ''Well, I plan to let the air out of this air mattress,'' he said, tossing sleeping bags, pillows and air mattresses into various corners of the office. And to no ·one in particular he said, ''We gotta clean this place up.'' "Uh Tom, Whaterya going to do with the $10,000?" "Oh. Well, first we have to apply to the FCC for a change in power, and a new frequency. That may be a problem because there are no frequencies open above 90 (killahertz) and below 90 we may interfere with TV. But its up to the FCC. It could take from three months to a year for the FCC to approve out application, then we buy our transmitter, bolt it down, hook it up and start broadcasting." Response oveRwhelm1nq p a g e • . .

What started last week as a little heard of music program has steadily gained more attention from students. But Gillian says he's anxious for the chance to be as selective as possible in forming the best combination of voices to produce a sound worth noticing. The development of a performance organization that can please an audience is what the 27 year old conductor wishes. "If jazz does this then that's what we want to do, but there are other things, that also please an audience," such as using material that is popular today. Responding to Gillian's energy, Gene Aitken, the conductor of the LCC Lab Jazz Bands, has offered to help with the vocal arrangements and to assist in supplying the rhythm section that will back the singers. "He's been a fantastic supporter of the program," exclaims Gillian. The local high school conductors have also been active in offering their help and experience. ''Some of the local swing choirs are among the very Through performances in Jazz Festivals throughout the Northwest, the LCC Lab 1 Jazz Band has gained a prominent, if not outstanding, reputaJazz tion in the West Coast community.

The new instructor mentioned that he would like to see students offering arrangements of both original and non-original material for his group to consider.

The man is the LCC Varsity Soccer Coach. The man is George Gyorgyfalvy, or simply, George Falvey, as he likes to be called to save mispronunciations and time. I was impressed in my first meeting with George--impressed with his philosophy, not just the statistics, though they are strong. Competing in a league with mostly foreign players and university graduate students last yar, the Titan Soccer Team fini~hed in a 3-way tie for seco~d place in its league. A complicated tie-breaker computation dropped the Titans to fourth place on Goal-Point Average. His LCC career total is 47 wins, 36 losses, and nine ties. He was the coach of last year's star, Frank Rodriguez, who set a National Scorino Record with 53 ooals in one year. Georoe then helped Frank get a soccer scholarship with the ,Ohio State University Buckeyes .. My most pleasant surprise ca·me when I asked him how he rec_ruite~ play_ers like Frank to come to LCC with little or nothing to offer. He said quietly, but wItn emphasis, '' I don't recruit anyone. Soccer stars that leave high school,. usually follow one of two paths, the guidepost being economics. The good ones with money go on to big four year schools while the ones without money go into the job market.'' "But George, what about Mexico, Venezuela or South America? Surely they must have plenty of athletes who would love to go to school in the states, even at little LCC,·" I countered. ''If they want to come, I teach them. Nice to have good play!3r.'' "But," George lowered his prominent Hung_?rian jaw and replied, "I don't recruit. My job is teacher. That is what they pay me to do, teach the boys how to play. They have not told me I must win--they have told me I must teach. If i bring up a player from Mexico, he could play well and maybe we would win more games, but that would take a spot away from a local boy who wanted to learn how to play the game. This is a community college and the community should see what its boys can do and not what someone from Africa can do.'' The soft European ac~ent becomes most noticable when he is serious and at this point it was marked. Field Hockey Coach, Debbie Daggett is working her hockey players hard in practice for the opening game of the season against the University of Oregon JV's at 3:45 Wednesday afternoon here at LCC. She has only three returning veterans in the difficult but rarely publicized sport. Daggett invited the TORCH to observe the practices and some of the finer points of the game which is seldom played by women until they get to college. "Few high schools and almost no grade schools participate competitively," she said, "except in Europe." "One reason the U of O has histo~ically had strong teams is they have players from Holland or Scandanavia that have been playing for about 1O years. That makes it awfully tough on us." One of the difficult aspects of the game is simply in hitting the ball--you can only use one side of the stick. The other side is rounded and striking the ball with the rounded surface results in a foul and loss of the ball. In my attempts to move the ball, I was easily out-maneuvered by the more adept players. Tey could also hit the ball farther than I could and I played softball all summer long. It is both an exciting an interesting game from a spectator's standpoint. Both the girls and their uniforms look exciting. I 'II see you down at the track on Wednesday afternoon. High school team steals limelight - The Men's 12,000 Metre Open was to be the featured event Saturday at the OTC-LCC International Cross Country meet but what turned out to be the real story of the day were the teams, both girls and boys, from South Eugene High School. The South Eugene girls led off with a surprising victory in the Women's 4000 Metre Run over women from the U of 0, the Oregon Track Club and Linfield College. Then in the second event, their masculine counterparts, the Axemen, ran for a perfect score in the Junior-Senior 5000 Metre Run, beatina the Oregon Track Club Masters (men 40 and over). The final event, the Men's 12,000 was won by Mike Manley and the Oregon Track Club over the LCC Titan men. Tiny Lilli Leadbetter ( 4' 9 ½" , 69 lbs.), of South Eugene finished sixth but led her S.E. team in with a winning score of 35. Leadbetter is. but 14 years old and is the World Record Holder for her age group (13-19) in the ·Marathon of which is a run over 26 miles, 385 yds. When asked about the tough LCC International Course, she said, "I love it. It's so much more fun going up the hills and over the creeks and mud than runnng the track or the streets.'' But Eryn Forbes of Sunsset High in Portland, like the true fox she is, led the pack Saturday morning, followed by her teammate, Teresa Wierson. LCC did not enter a women's team.

But George is proud of what he calls his "All American team--and that's what the South Team." Most of the men are local and all are Americans, and he is teaching Eugene Boys Team did in the second them his game, soccer. run. My final question of him was, "How do you go about getting referees for soccer matches? Not many people know how to play the game, let alone officiate.'' "That was a problem. Our soccer league had not enough officials, nor did the Portland community. Nothing was being done. ''So I started a course here last Winter Term to train soccer officials. This was the first in the state. We had 18 men pass the course and 11 of those are now qualified to referee any soccer game in Oregon. They are without much experience yet, but they are well trained and soccer officials make about $20 per game plus expenses. Put that in the paper will you? We are going to offer the course again this Winter Term." The sport of soccer is now alive in Oregon with the fanatical support and showing of the Portland Timbers. The sport of soccer should do the same here in Eugene, with a man like George Falvey leading LCC soccer. In the Junior-Senior event, boys 19 and under run with men, 40 and over. Axeman Bill McChesney was the winner with a time of 16:42 minutes over the rugged LCC Inernational course. LCC MEN FINISH SECOND IN THE MEN'S 12,000 METRE OPEN Bill Sharp just barely held off Mike McGriff and six other Titan runners a LCC captured an amazing 10th through 17th places and second place in the feature event with 60 ooints. Mike Manley of theOregon Track Club in training for his steeplechase performance at the Pan american Games, won the event, gliding happily over the course in 34 minutes, 40.7 seconds. His young sons cheered and bragged him up all along the way and he laughed and greeted them at the finish with equal enthusiasm. '' Most of the runners, both male and female, were using the meet as a training step for the upcoming cross country schedule for their respective teams,'' Coach Al Tarpenning said, "and we were no exception." "Our young runners are leading our team. We've ~got fine teamwork and enthusiasm. When our sophmor,es get back into gear, we'll have 7 or 8 runners that can all run about the same time. We'll do all right." And they've been doing all right: The long-legged Titans won their first two· meets. They posted the low score in the Junior College Division of the Nevada Cross Country Carnival n Reno and won the University of Portland lnvituational by 20 points over their nearest competitor. The next meet is Saturday, Oct. 11 in Salem against both Chemeketa and Judson Baptist JC's. The OCCAA Championships will be in Roseburg, Oct. 25. The next meet in Eugene will be the AAU Championships to be held Nov. 22--otherwise, spectators must go on the road to see the OCCAA competition. · INCREDIBLE SAVINGS!!! LCC Super Soccer opens with victory Cort Lae scored three goals and had two assists as the rookie-packed Titan Soccer Team defeated Clackamas Community College 6-2 at Lake Oswego Saturday in the first league game for both teams. Bobby Henderson showed awesome talent for the Titans in manuevering the ball at mid-field while Pat Farr, Paul McCoy and Jack Debrick scored one goal each. Clackamas was held to but two goals, chiefly on the defensive strength of Ed Grisw?ld, and the game was close until the final two minutes when Lane scored twice and put it away. Clackamas Community College had six foreign players, all of who were blessed with fine technique but could not match the unselfish team play of the Titans. You will have an opportunity to watch soccer here in Eugene next Saturday at 2 p. m. as these same two teams meet again in the LCC Soccer Bowl. Plan on about two hours of fast, exciting action between two evenly matched teams.
