tr Whether with a guitar or with a typewriter, Associate Editor Cris Clarke is equally at home. (He says that he can play forty notes a minute, but he can't type forty words a minute). A native of Ventura, California, born on the "highly sunny day of July 20, 1950," Cris grew.up on the Mojave Desert of the Southwest. " It takes about three guys to catch a zebra-tailed lizard," he says, "and you have to surround him, because straight-on those suckers can go about 20 miles an hour. We used to chase leopard lizards, gopher snakes , homey toads, and chipmunks. That was the big thing out in the desert because ten minutes from where I lived, there was complete solitude. Completely quiet and no noise. And, up until a few years ago, no smog." Cris is a married man - S 1/ 2 years worth . '' I met Debby in Bakersfield College (Buck Owens City) in Bakersfield, California. Yeah, I met Debby and got bad grades at the same time. I spent all my study time snuggling with her out in front of the women ' s dormitory." His daughter Janet (" She was talking three days after she was born " ) is four years old. "And she's already smarter than I am ," says Cris . Cris has been at LCC for one year. ''I'm taking journalism stuff out here. I'm doing music as a sidesoloing at the Black Forest on Monday nights. But my pet heartthrob is writing short fiction , which I hope to someday develop into a livelihood.

The request. sent to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is based on what OSPIRG alleges to be newly released HUD audits of ASH which show mismanagement of corporate funds. OSPIRG claims the audits concluded that the principals. Fred H. Bender and Philip A. Mclennan, "used the non -profit corporations to realize personal benefits at the expense of student tenants. The HUD audits were made public as a result of a series of administrative appeals by OSPIRG under the Freedom of Information Act. For the past several years. ASH has bee n und e r investigation by HUD for allegedly improper acts in the management of the nonprofit corporation. HUD begain its investigation in 1972 after OSPIRG charged that ASH officials acted improperly when they raised rents at their Pacific University housing facility. The Oregon housing projects audited were ASH. Inc .. at Springfield; ASH of Pacific University. Inc., at Forest Grove; ASH. Inc. at Astoria and Gresham; ASH. Inc. at Ashland; and ASH. Inc., at Corva11is. OSPRIG says, HUD auditors have made t: u ::s ;,c: •recommendatio ns which fell into three general categories. Where they found that money was diverted or used for the wrong purposes, the auditors recommended the return of such funds to the appropriate college housing projects. Where they found that improper procedures were used by ASH principals {e.g. bookkeeping and management), they recommended that the procedures be changed and that assurance be given of change. Where the records were inadequate or • the Regulatory Agreements not specific, the auditors recommended negotiation. "These recommendatio ns do not consider the injury caused tenants of ASH college housing projects. " according to OSPIRG staff attorney Nely Johnson. Johnson asked HUD to carry out the intent of the Education Institutions Act by: J . requiring each housing project to return to the tenants money which the auditors found to have been misused or diverted; 2. taking action to remove the principles of the college housing projects and providing for tenant representation on ' theBoard of Directors; 3. allowing OSPIRG or other tenant representatives· to participate in any negotiations between ASH and HUD; and 4. turning over to the tenants any • overcharges held in escrow. "Since 1972 OSPIRG has worked for the interest of ASH tenants, and will continue to represent their interests," Johnson added. No cause for general concern - yet director contracts hepatitis Food by Mike Mcl.}Jin While it was stressed that there is no need, at this time, for concern by the general users of Lane's Food Service, it was revealed Monday that Ken Brownell, director of the Food Services, has contracted viral hepatitis. Viral hepatitis is a disease that affects the liver and is transmitted mainly thrpugh contaminated food or drink, blood or blood products, or contaminated needles and syringes. It can be transmitted for a period of approximately two weeks prior to diagnoses and up to two weeks after diagnoses. Brownell became ill and sought treatment Sunday. When his illness was diagnosed as hepatitis, the Lane County Health Department was notffied, according to state law. Jeannette Bobst, the Communicable Disease Coordinator for the Lane County Health Department, visited Brownell at his home where she obtained a blood sample and began going over Brownell's activities for the past several weeks. She determined that on only one occasion during Brownell's communicabillty period, did he have any part in the actual preparation of food. That occasion was the executive session of the Boanl of Education on Oct. 8, when the Board met with members of the college administration and the press to discuss financing and personnel at a closed dinner meeting. All the members of the Board [except Jim Martin, who drank only coffee], several members of the college administration, representatives from the TORCH and the Register Guard, and a cook and a waitress for LCC's Food Services ate dinner that evening and, according to Bobst, "There is a good chance that whoever was at the meeting bas been exposed." Bobst stressed that unless someone who is involved in the day-to-day preparation of food begins showing symptoms there is no cause for concern by any of the regular users of the Food Services. She explained that a recent situation In Portland where many people were exposed to hepatitis, involved two cooks who handled food continuously during their communicability period. She said that, "that situation is very unlikely here." When asked if there was cause for concern for the continued food-handling by the LCC cook and the waitress who were exposed on Oct. 8, she said that as long as they wash their bands when working with food, there is little chance the disease could be transmitted. When the TORCH contacted the two Food Service employees who are presently working in Food Services, they explained that cleanliness is a very high priority at LCC, and that they wash their hands "a thousand times a day." Bobst felt the situation didn't warrent Food Services closure. "The question of closure didn't even come up. As long exposure was limited and the infected person is not handling food there is no reason to close the operation." The results-of the blood test on Browneq, will be known Tuesday and will determine whether be has infectious or serum hepatitis. Hhe has infectious, [contracted through the digestive system], then the people who were exposed will be advised by Bobst to obtain a gamma globulin innoculation. While this won't cure the disease it will lesson the intensity of the symptoms. ff it is serum hepatitis [contracted through the bloodstream] then an innoculation would have no affect, and the chances of the exposed person's contracting the disease would be lower, according to Laura Oswalt, director of LCC's Health Services. Both Bobst and Oswalt stressed that everyone should observe stringent cleanliness habits, just to be safe. The media gets no answers at 1he bcal level Med ia ham pere d . by state Vet gag rule {Editor's note: The TORCH.in an attempt to investigate an errant story run by College Press Service nationwide stating that Oregon veterans are frauding the government out of 10 per cent of total Oregon funding, has been having trouble obtaining information from 1oca1 and state V.A.

S memo to all Oregon Veterans Administration division chiefs, Donna M. Arndt, Director of the Veterans Affairs Regional Office for the State of Oregon, has ruled that, "Veterans Representatives On Campus cannot be interviewed or have any imput into any media. All such inputs will be referred to Donna Arndt!" Arndt's memo also says, "All referrals of calls by any elements of the news media on any subject will be handled by the director's office. No individual is to be interviewed without the director's prior knowledge and approval. Please have all your employees report to you personally any calls recieved asking questions so that you may bring them to my attention. Please instruct your employees to respond to any inquiry by simply stating that it is a station policy that all calls from the media will be handled by the director's office." In a telephone interview last week, Arndt told the TORCH that the genera] rule of the station has been that the director carries the responsibility for dissemination of information to the news media. She also said that Veteran's Representatives know the situation on their campus, and may think that is the situation state-wide, but it may not be the same at all schools. She wants to make sure that they know the policy. When asked if this new rule might hinder the Campus Representative in his ability to communicate through the media with the people he is there to serve, Arndt replied, "I would certainly hope not. I should hope that it would enhance their job." She went on to explain that be making sure their information was current and accurate, Representatives could do a better job. Arndt stated, "We want our Veterans Representatives to interact with the public." 1••11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111-11ma1.......111m111 uamm mu111119; ASLCC Elections ASLCC Elections will be November 12 and 13.

Frank Raymond --FORUM-- Many students apparently do not read the TORCH as thoroughly as is necessary to gather campus information. The above statement is drawn from the fact that many students have questions of the ASLCC President that could have been answered by reading earlier issues of the TORCH (especially the Orientation Issue, which includes the ASLCC Student Handbook). It is only appropriate to bring those students too busy to read a TORCH up to date with answers to most common questions In order to avoid using a lot of space, we will use the Q and A method of answering questions. Q. How did Len Wassom become Pres. of the ASLCC, if Russ Linebarger was elected to that position? A. Len Wassom was elected vice president in the Spring elections and when Linebarger resigned during Summer Term. Wassom assumed the Presidency in accordance with the ASLCC constitution and by-laws. Q. Who becomes Vice President? A. The VP is appointed by the President and subject to Senate ratification. Len has appointed Ed Ruiz to that position and he was not ratified at the last Senate meeting. However, Ed Ruiz will remain as interim Vice President and conduct the Fall elections. It is intended to request ratification again when we have a full Senate. Q. Why did you allow a contract caterer to get into management of our Food Services? A. It is unjustifies to state that I "allowed" it. It is accurate to say that the ASLCC President made plans with the support of the Senate to postpone action toward acquiring a contract firm in food services until the students had an opportunity to provide their personal views. In fact, _the President presented his position (and the unanimous decision of the Senate) to President Schafer and the Board members durin~ the board meeting of September 24; which was to postpone or table the decision until students could learn of the issue and form an opinion. The ·ASLCC President believed that implementation of a contract caterer could be imperative to solving our management and economic needs. But students should have the right to express their opinions, especially since that is the Board policy. Tony Birch, the dean of Business Affairs, and his committee spent all of last year, especially summer months, in attempts to solve the Food Service dilema, but President Schafer didn't believe that the decision could watt a tew more ctays. Anyone attending a Board meeting is well aware that the College President has enough influence to table a decision; yet "wheels of progress" had to turn now. There has been communication between parties concerned and hopefully , in the future, students will know the issue and speak for or against it before final action is taken. As President of the ASLCC, I would like to state that I hope for campus matters to be handled in a more equitable fashion. Please feel free to contact either myself personally, leave a message in my box, or get in touch with any Senator of the ASLCC. Q. What can the Senate really do?' A. We represent the entire student body, whether vocation, college transfer or adult education students; we represent you. If you want action taken toward and issue in your department, try to present the case to that department senator. If that senator is unavailable, the ASLCC Secretary, Connie Hood. is a wealth of information and surely could direct you to another interested senator. Whatev.e r your campus problem, some Senate member will present it to the ASLCC and hopefully for you the vote will be in your favor. Naturally, all motions cannot pass, but at least your case will be presented and given much consideration. We may even become heated in our debate, but that means the Senate is not apathetic toward issues. Thank you, Len Wassom, ASLCC Preside~t 0~1?oerz1~s~-~ much good for anything else.

Goodwin to renovate food service By Scott Stewart Fred Goodwin, LCC's new food services manager, got his start in the Army inspecting everything from booze to potatoes. After a three year stint in the Army as a Food Service Inspector, Goodwin attended Eastern Oregon State and graduated in 1967 with a degree in Education and taught grade school for five years. In 1970, Goodwin joined Manning's Co. Manning's handles restraunts, food services _and hospitals from the West Coast to the Mississippi. Fred, a native Oregonian, has worked for them in Klamath Falls, Coos Bay and Portland as a hospital food service director, a job which Goodwin says is enough to drive anybody crazy. Manning's does not bring in their own staff, although they may change around the old one to make better use of their skills. They offer a whole different concept in food service, according to Goodwin. Since Manning's is a large organization, they can save money with buying power. This does do away with local purchasing, but the food service will buy produce and dairy products locally to assure freshness You can also look forward to a change in menu. Fast foods, 'finger foods', and self service will help to shorten waiting lines. Also coming up are 'Supersoups', Deli sandwiches, sandwiches by the inch, a self service salad bar featuring such items as lettuce, cabbage, sprouts, beets, onions, chick peas, ad naseum. For the natural food freak, there is a health food bar in the works. There will also be an extension in the Minimeal program. Goodwin hopes to see • a wider selection in Minibreakfasts, lunches and dinners. Goodwin would like to see more grilled sandwiches served in the snack bar, but that depends if the food service can get someone to cook them. Goodwin says the. food service is understaffed right now. There were originally spots for 35 work study students, but only 9 showed up. Si'nce the profits from the food service goes back into the food service, and Manning's hopes to cut costs by 8 per cent under last year's, they hope to have more money for salaried people, and more help will mean ·raster lines. Now that your mouth is watering and you can't wait to dig into all that good food, you 're probably wondering when all these changes will t~ke place. Goodwin says that the organization, planning and purchasing will all be done first. Then the Food Service will advertise a grand opening. Goodwin says it should all be ready in a couple weeks. "We don't want to do it half-assed.'' First year radio students can use the control room to learn where things are located because the radio equipment is set-up with the same sequential order of dials and switches universally used on the commercial radio market.

But she doesn't remember doing it. Her rooipate told her about the incident the next day. among local teenagers.

Several of them indicated that alcohol and drug problems were the primary reason they withdrew from Sheldon." brings about stress and pressure, and if the young person begins using alcohol to relieve that stress, then an addictive pattern is most like!y to develop." '' Another basic problem in dealing with young people." says Grabau, "is that frequently a person in my position represents just another authority figure .. .the young person tends not to be an WO cm~ search for Serenity: Of the youths presently drinking, the survey estimated that 12.3 per cent have either real or potential drinking problems. The majority of these began drinking at age 13. On a · national scale, the National Coluncil on Alcoholism found that of the 44 million Americans between the ages of 10 and 20, 33 million (75 per cent) are drinking illegally. . Why has alcohol developed into such a wide scale problem with today's youth? "It's readily available, and it is a more parentally acceptible activity than using other drugs," says Glen Brigham, a counsellor at Skipworth Home For Juveniles. Brigham and to other counsellors direct an alcohol education program. And he says that parents are more at ease with their teenagers' drinking because of their own experiences with alcohol, having had none with most other drugs. But another reason is that teenagers seem to have difficulty in recognizing the symptoms of a problem drinker in themselves. "Most of the people who come into this program do not feel they have a drinking problem. They do not want to be here, and are here only because they can escape an adverse legal consequence,'' says Brigham. All referrals to the Alcohol • Education Program are youth with alcoholrelated offenses sentenced to Skipworth by the court. Counsellors have determined that a certain portion of these teenagers' lives has been affected by alcohol. "I started drinking when I was about 13," Terri says, "but it was just out of fun then. Later on, I drank to get bombed." ''Drinking is experimental at the younger ages, rather than addictive behavior," says Lowell Grabau, head of the Alcohol Treatment Program at the Lane County, Mental Heal!h Clinic. "They're not usin,g it to reduce stress at that point.'' At a later age when teenagers are expected to assume certain responsibii ,_ ties the major portion of teenage drinking problems begins to appear, says Grabau, psychologist. It's get-yourself-a-job, or-an-educationcause-you 're-going-to-get-kicked-out-ofthe-house syndrome, he calls it. ''These pressures are becoming more and more difficult to deal with because most young people today don't have ny idea what they're going to be doing ten _years from now," says Grabau, "and that's a frightening prospect. That amenable client." Grabau's ideas are similar to Brigham's. Both said parents aren't as aware as they could be of the dangers of alcohol, or of the symptoms of prob~m drinking. Grabau also feels that many parents are overprotective of their children, and cannot admit that a given problem may stem ·from drinking. '' Some parents come in describing a clear alcoholic problem with a 16 or 17 year old, but then they don't want to deal with the problem of drinking. They want to say it's something else, says Grabau. Parents generally seem to think the drinking is resulting from some other disorder, rather than being the source of the problem itself. If you combine misinformed, overprotective parents with mixed up, pressured teenagers, you have a pretty bleak picture. And unless both parents and teenagers begin to look at the facts, it could get worse. But in spite of the weight of the problem, there is one local youth who seems to be dealing successfully with it; Terri Dawes. It took being rejected by a very dear friend--along with growing weary of disliking herself--to convince her that she needed help. Her self-image has improved. In group and individual counselling at the Mental Health Clinic, Terri is learning to assert herself without the "aid" of alcohol. Now 21. she is not the same Terri who started sniffing glue at 12, or the Terri who hung on her first drunk at 13. She keeps herself busy, working in her mother's Eugene business. "Before, I didn't have anything to do but drink," she says, "but now that I occupy myself with things, I don't think about it." She has established goals and plans to attend a Portland vocational rehabiliation school in the near future. "I'm-so pleased with the progress she's made," says Mrs. Bennett. She's so mellow now, she's like a different person. Sometimes faced with the temptation to take a drink (she still goes to bars occasionally), Terri constantly reminds herself that she is unable to take one drink without wanting the whole bottle. And the social pressure remains, as does the peer pressure. "Some of my 'friends' have told me they liked the old drunk, partying-Terri better than the new Terri," she says. ''but I know I can't go back to alcohol. The next time may be for good." tot 1s a boo1 but lock1 ' inpatient treatment h~ A by Steve Goodman More teenagers drinking Eug A~ coul din .. Let's not bury the alcholic in a closet and hide him somewhere; let's take him out and get him treated, and put him back in some sort of productive existence." by Cris Clarke "For the past three years, every time I drank I had blackouts," she adds. Terri didn't think she had a drinking problem. She didn't think about it at all. She just drank. "I did a lot of things I didn't know I'd done." she says. "and I didn't feel responsible for them." Terri didn't like herself. really, and couldn't cope with it. "It was like I didn't want to face not liking myself, so I drank." She cried a lot, too. Whenever I saw her drinking, she'd get into a real teary, crying mood," says Ann Bennett, Terri's mother. "But she could consume so much that it was unbelievable. She could drink three· people under the table." Three years ago, just barely eighteen years old, Terri moved from Eugene to Portland to live with her oldest sister. She had spent most of her t~nage life sniffing glue, smoking pot, eating speed and dropping LSD. With a tendency to do everything to the extreme, Terri developed a new drug preferepce. ••1 could see she was tortured," says Mrs. Bennett, "she's been like that since she was a little tiny ·kic1:1 • Btit for lear of worsening the situation, Mrs. Bennett tried to refrain from confronting her paughter with the problem. "You don't ronfront Terri with anything," she adds, ."I le_arned that a long tim~ ago."~ A basically shy, insecure person, Terri quickly found a sure-fire method of asserting herself, so she thought. At parties, bars, and at home she drank heavily almost every day during her three year binges, unleashing a loud, aggressive monster on the people around her. "I read people off'' (cussed them out), she says, "especially people who were close to me. I ended up rejecting and hurting them all." Terri went through seven roommates in those three years, including her sister--they all found her drunkenne~s to be too much to handle. ''They'd ask me to cut down, and I would for a couple days, but then I'd fall right She didn't even have to back into it." depend on her older friends to supply the alcohol. She had a falsified I.D. On two occasions during the last two years Terri was arrested for drunk driving, once in Portland and once here in Eugene. She has no recollection of the Portland incident, she says, but remembers waking up in the city jail. But Terri Dawes is not the only Willamette Valley youth who has t>eeil booked for an alcohol-related offense. In a 1971 study, the Lane County Council Jn Alcoholism (LCCOA) found that 56 )istrict S youths 20 and under were booked during that year for driving under the influence. Another 111 were jailed for public intoxication, and 316 under the charge of minor in possession. Teenage exposure to alcohol is high. In a recent survey of Willamette Valley teenagers by Oregon's Commission on Youth, 72.2 per cent of both males and females were found to have used some form of alcohol in the previous year. By contrast, only 52.2 per cent admitted to having csed tobacco, the next most-used drug. On a year-to-year basis, alcohol has established itself as the drug of preference The courageous rca, Lani This is the prime concern of Roy Cooke, executive director of Serenity Lane. There are a lot of very frightening statistics about alcoholism. and there are also very real causes for hope. Statistics show that every alcoholic directly affects the lives of an average of six other persons -- and there are about 10 million alcoholics in the US right now. The number of alcoholics is increasing by 500,000 persons a year. But numbers barely begin to reveal the damage left in alcohol's wake. Let's get boned up! The basic elements of the disease are r1J Chronicity [2] Compulsive, uncontrollable drinking [3] Intoxication, and [4] Injury to functioning. '' Alcoholism is a chronic disorder in which the individual is unable, for physical or psychological reasons. or both, to refrain from frequent consumption of alcohol in quantities sufficient to produce intoxication and ultimately, injury to health and functioning.•• Cooke estimates that ''based on scientific fact and experience. one in fifteen adult drinkers today becomes an alcoholic. Which means if you 're in a group of fifteen people. all adults, at a beer-bust. chances are one of your fifteen isn't gonna make it!" Perhaps the reader has seen certain questionnaires put out by the government and large organizations featuring "checkltsts ·· for alcoholism. Most of us have answered these more than once. and found the scales weighted heavily against us. "Any time you start asking yourself. am I an alcoholic; the fact that you did ask yourself that, and read this thing (the questionnaire) is an indication to me automaticany that you are not an alcoholic, though the problem may exist at that moment. An alcoholic thinks he has control of his booze. when in fact the booze has control of him; this is why it's so hard to get a person to go for treatment." There are large numbers of people who drink heavily and frequently over a period of years. Their drinking may even be especially heavy in crises; and without alcohol they may not be able to carry on the. interpersonal relationships and responsibilities of social life and business. Yet they don't drink enough to interfere lastingly with their health; and they are capable of ' reducing their intake or stopping altogether, on occasion. These problem drinkers are flirting with the disease. and one in ten problem drinkers will become alcoholic. Alcoholism is a progressive disease. First the man takes a drink. Then the drink takes a drink. Then the drink takes the man.

Patients at Serenity Lane are of either sex and have rangd in age from teenagers to geriatrics. As Cooke puts it. '' Alcohol itself does not discriminate and neither do we. One problem Serenity Lane faces is funding. Since it opened in May 1973, it has operated as a non-profit organization. It has received neither state ·nor federal money and operates solely through contributions and the fees it must charge patients. The time schedule is openended. but eight weeks is considered the minimum time for in-patient care. For those patients whose insurance policy leaves out alcoholism, the cost is $52 • per day plus special charges. However, there is a new law going into effect Jan. 1, 1976 requiring all group major medical policies written or renewed after that date to provide for the treatment of alcoholism. Local businesses are taking notice and establishing sane and humanitarian policies. A career employee, after four or five years on the job often represents to the company an investment of thousands of dollars. It makes more sense for the company to treat him than to fire him. Says Executive Director Cooke, "I don't ever recall having a man who was here for the full treatment at Serenity Lane that lost his job while he was away from employment that period of time. So that speaks well for this community.

ArtHodeS Jazz Four ~3 ·--·-·· By Max Gano ''We like to march right in,'' explained Art Hodes (pronounced ho-deez) as the audience finished their cheers and applause for the first number of the show. From that _point on, Hodes and his band continued to move, waltzing, prancing, swaying, and even stomping through a set that was as diverse as the very beginnings of . jazz themselves. Indeed, these four musicians had a great deal to say about thos~ beginnings, with as.s orted experiences ranging from Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong, who Hodes himself "ran with" in the Chicago area, and the bass man, Jimmy Johnson played with the Duke Ellington Orchestra, in which Hillard Brown at one time lent his rhythmic soul as drummer. The fourth member of Hodes troupe, playing various saxaphones and a clarinet, is Frank Jackson, who at times made tears jerk from eyes with his bittersweet melodic lines. His experience speaks well, having played with Earl Hive, Cab Calloway, Fletch Henderson, and at one point even arranging the music for Raymond Scott on CBS television. These were all men with the ability to tum a room of somewhat hesitant finger tappers into a mob of knee slapping, fork slamming, whistle shreiking fans, with their interpretation of traditional jazz. This is one instance where the word 'traditional' implies anything but straight and conservative. The men on stage have all lived in the Chicago area, they have learned the blues the hard way. This insight lets them show a part of their soul that might otherwise have remained hidden beneath a suit and tie. It was this that hit hard in the minds that concentrated on every strain of rhythmic tone that left the instruments. If you 're not sure what traditional jazz entails, perhaps you might know of Dixie Land Jazz. Chicago Blues, Ellingtonia, and Rag-time. These are all a part of what was happening during the "Roaring Twenties". This music was the fore-runner of Elivs, Chuck Berry, and all the rest. Thus, in various ways, you can still hear the influence in today's music. But for the moment, the audience that filled to capacity the Rodeway Inn's Hall seemed content to glimpse the nostalgic past. Hodes two fisted piano technique gave away the straight suit he wore as notes tumbled out in a 'get down and boogie' style. Jackson re~ obied a well dieted Cannon, with a little bit more hair, as his reed instruments started at the top and cresendoed from there, his fingers busy flirting with the keys he knew so well. On drums, Brown sat back in his corner and laid down the beat, occasionally shouting a comment to the crowd or in answer to Jackson's Satchmo-like vocals. And Johnson played bass, tall, mean, and pure. With a pounce, the tempo would change, the mood would quicken, at one with each other, the band played on. Ballads, Dixie stomps. Chicago tears, it all fit together in a way only years of experience could make it. And the end had to come. The Battle Hymn of the Republic blues style. Starting so lo\Y. it stirred to the depths of each persons emotions before picking up to a rolling, soothing song of joy, pushing on and on to merge finally with saints that came marching all over your soul. And before those saints could march out again, every man, woman, and child was out of their seat and jumping. Calling, hoping, maybe some were even begging for more, which was gladly answered by the Dixie stomp that the band had started with. Half of us remained standing though the entire five minute encore. If you think you might be interested in getting in on this type of action, these concerts are a regular happening that is sponsered by the Eugene Traditional Jazz Society. Once a month they arrange for a different jazz band to appear in Eugene. Local bands also play in the program. The admission is a dollar.

Students were asked to choose their two favorite beers out of a list of thirteen draught beers sold in the area. Sixty-two per cent of the 2,179 students polled were over 21. The poll showed Budweiser as top choice with a 28 ·per cent preference, and Michelob second with 24 per cent. Hamms, Heidelberg, Lucky and Old Milwaukie came in last with two per cent each, while the middle group was Blitz (5 per cent). Lowenbrau (6 per cent), Olympia (11 per cent), Miller (5 per cent), Rainier (3 per cent), Schlitz (7 per cent). Tuborg (3 per cent). The committee should have the results of the polls and the feasibility study by the end of October and will then meet with Pres. Boyd. In a memo dated Aug. 21, Boyd stated his opposition to a tavern on campus. Some of his main objections are the failure of the Oregon legislatu r e to lower th e drinking age to 19, the requirements of policing. and the idea of " hustling" beer for profits. When asked if he thought the tavern would affect sobriety or attendance during classes, Jim Fitzhenry, committee chairer, felt it would not. " I look at this tavern as any other tavern in the community," he stated. "I think people will use it at proper times." ~ . ,~ I . . by Lynda Jackson The Ad Hoc Committee on the EMU Tavern met again last week to discuss proposals for the establishment of a tavern on the U of O campus. . The committee is. investigating three different scenarios for a final report that will be completed and submitted to University President William Boyd around the first of next year. The first scenario proposes a private bidder operating a tavern in the Erb Memorial Union under a concession contract from the ASUO (Associated Students of the University of Oregon). The second scenario suggests a studentoperated tavern with the University holding the liquor license. The third scenario is based on a student corporation holding the license and operating the tavern. The committee plans to use opinion polls and a feasibility study to help in the evaluation of the scenarios.

"We divided the team into 'A' and 'B' divisions this last weekend sending the top seven runners to a practice meet with the University of Oregon at the Tokatee Golf Course near Blue River and another seven runners to the triangular meet at Alb'any." "I was especially pleased with the experience gained by our runners at Tokatee. Oregon's powerful team dominated the race but John Miller finished well in 13th place (31 :30 for 6 miles) and only 40 seconds separated Lane's top five runners.

Also present were two assistants for head coach Dale Bates. Davey Ohmer, 20, returns to LCC as the student assistant coach this year after being a sparkplug guard for Bates the past two years. Ohmer is a junior at the University of Oregon in physical education and jumped at the chance Bates offered him, explaining, "This will be the first year in the last ten that I haven't been playing ball. My philosophy is about the same as Bates and his offer was a great way for me to stay in the game." Terry Stahel (pronounced Stall), 29, is starting his second year in a paid position as assistant coach. His past includes playing in the . 1968 National NAIA for SOC and 6 years in Tournament coaching positions at Willamette High, where he still teaches, and he teaches part-time at LCC. Both men think they've got good athletes to work with this year, although they don't have the good big man inside. "Last year we could always go to Robbie (Smith) when we really needed two (points), but this year we '. re just going to have to be quicker," Stahel commented. The first scrimmage will be against OSU here on Nov. 12, and the first game is against the University of Oregon JV 's Dec. 2.

The Titans took the lead for good as Pat Farr and Cort Lae worked a pattern play off • off a penalty kick from 40 yds. out. Lae thumped in the goal from 12 yards out after taking the pass from Farr. This is the third time this season the Titans have scored on this play. Ed Griswold , John Anderson and Mike Kaderly all played an excellent defensive game in the defensive fullback position, assisting Sumnall in the shutout.

This is a preparatioo game for defense of first place Saturday, against second place Southern Oregon College. The battle for the league lead takes place Saturday at 2:00 p.m. near the aeration lagoons. ~o umnal's Shutout ano neaR no-no By Don Sinclair Last Tuesday afternoon, Cort Lae kicked in a hard shot to tie the game, 1-1, with less than a minute to go as the Soccer Titans struggled to protect their unbeaten record against an agressive Judson Baptist team. With but three minutes gone in the game, Judson scored as Gary Sumnall, the Titan goalie, slipped on the wet turf. He went on to shut them out the rest of the way as the Titans tried to develop their teamwork against the four-man umbrella defense of Judson Baptist. Bobby Henderson missed a penalty kick with about three minute_s remaining that would have tied the score at that point and ultimately provided a win with Lae's later score. Henderson's attempt went about six inches wide of the post in what is usually considered "a gimmee," the penalty kick coming from just 10 yards out with no one protecting but the goalie. Both Henderson and Lae agreed the game was the most physical they'd ever played and that Ed Griswold, the Titan center fullback, with his midfield defensive work, was responsible for keeping the team spirit up, while the team was behind until the dramatic last minute score. Betty Griffith H ••• but I am intimidated by you." She was naively vague in answer to my question of what image she would like to project. So I asked her if she was intimidated by either the male or female segments of the LCC sports program. "No," emphatically burst out of her best smile, "but I am intimidated by you." "I don't want to be thought of as a female athletic trainer.'' "Right on!" was the comment from a listening basketball player. "That male-female crap doesn't belong in athletics any more. Hey, Betty, I've been off this leg for two days now. Can I work out today?'' In the Training Room, field hockey players talk with soccer players about everything from field strategy to rock concerts and more, while waiting for their turn with the trainer. They talked about the sports page with me while waiting but were quiet and responsive to Betty when she went to work. In a very healthy way, the terms 'fox' and 'stud' can be heard from time-to-time in conversations of either men or women and Betty listens and knows the athletes as both patients and confidants. She answered my first query, ''Our budget for supplies and equipment seems to be adequate. I got everything generally that I asked for but I think my estimate of supplies a<;tually needed may have been low. But I'll get by. What I really need the budget for, is a job after June. I'd like to teach a professional class in athletic training procedures but 'II teach anything if I can get a permanent position as a trainer." I've been in the world of sports and medicine for a few years now. I think LCC has one f the best bargains in the world of college athletics. It is unfair to our athletes to provide them with excellent teachers to challenge their physical and mental capabilities without some assurance they will not do their young odies irreparable damage.
