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. I
wish I could really express myself - but I might get into trouble.

OSP IRG call s for
ASH ren t refu nds
The Oregon Student Public
Interest Research Group (OSP
IRG) has called for- removal of
the principals of Adult Student
Housing (ASH) corporation s
and refunding of rental overcharges to ASH tenants, according to an OSPIRG news
release.

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. Thus this st~ry on an information restriction from the state V.A.
Next week the TORCH will report on the errant fraud story.)
by Scott Stewart
In an Aug. 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."

LETTERS TO THE SPORTS EDITOR:
Dear Don,
I was discussing odd jobs the other day
with a friend. We talked about weird jobs
we'd had and odd jobs others have
nowadays. The discussion naturally
progressed to jobs people could get.
For instance, if you lived in Corvallis,
you could probably pick up a few bucks by
peeling off "Good-by Dee" bumper
stickers. The Great Pumpkin, Coach Dee
Andros, would probably pay for that
service. At the same time, you would
probably make friends with him. He could
undoubtedly use one.
Or you could work for the Duck Coach,
Don Read. He would be pleased to have
someone do his shopping and other similar
errands that would lessen the number of
occasions for him to show his face here in

·"How are they?"
"Charming. But they do tend to be
flighty. When it comes to decisions. they
never can make up their minds."
"What are you talking about? I make
hundreds of decisions every day--which
bills to pay first. what to cook George for
dinner, whether the children are too sick to
go to school, where we should go on our
vacation, who to ... "
"I mean crucial decisions -- like whether
we should recognize Albania.

Eugene.
The way things are going with Oregon's
two representatives of big-time collegiate
football, Andros and Read will be as easy
to find as Howard Hughes. The only
difference is. people WANT to see
Hughes.
Lastly, a job that would be appreciated
by some but pays very little: . Explain to
people in the LCC cafeteria what the little
pink cards on the table say. Benefits would
include not having styrofoam cups with1

which you just placed on a half-eaten

--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,

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

money for salaried people, and more help

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.

supposed to receive a braille clock, but that
it still needs a "tactile meter device," and

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."

"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 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

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.

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. A great
number of people are learning a great deal
about alcoholism.·'

A patient coming in to Serenity Lane will
be trated with "'Reality Therapy." The
treatment is entirely geared to in-patient
care. the system havmg been adapted trom
a program developed by the Heartview
Foundation in Mandan. N.D. It helps
reduce the denial factor -- self-identification comes in very early with an in-patient
system.
For an understanding of the therapy,
assume that you, the reader. are entering
treatment. First you will be admitted and
checked by nurses regarding your history.
Blood pressure and temperature are
recorded. As soon as possible Dr. Kerns
will see you for a detailed physcial
examination.

self-esteem must be established on as

It is through real education that the
stigma of the alcoholic is erased. You'll
stand a far better chance of remaining in

Cooke is modest abut the success of
Serenity Lane's program. saying, "If
you've helped one person you've done your
job." According to the Register-Guard of
May 18. 1974, Serenity Lane is indeed
doing the job. Says Cooke, "We do feel
that our success ratio is excellent here,
extraordinary- in fact."

Friday. October 17, at LCC there was a
reception held in the Art Gallery for the
opening of a new exhibit consisting of
ceramic sculpture by Washington sculptor
Tad Riste, and landscapes in oiJ by LCC
Art Instructor Joyce Kommer.
The landscapes such as; "Winter
Fantasy". and "Timber Shadows" were
done in warm, rich-hued pastels. Soft, and
easy on the eye. they blend a subtle
combination of realism and abstract.
Glazed ceramics with such titles as
"Under the Shadow of Chester's Spoon",
were house-like urns surrounded by trees,
frogs. snakes, gnomes, and evne, if you
looked closely, a few gargoyles.
"They remind me of the Hobbit
stories''. said one of the several people
who attended the reception.
Riste is from Roslyn, Washington. He
has gone to the University of Oregon, and
worked for 2 years as a technical assistant
in Ceramics at Mills College in Oakland,
California.
Kommer, who is from Eugene, is an
assistant professor of Art of LCC and has
also worked at Maude Kearns Art Center,
and the University of Oregon. He has had
several shows around the Northwest.
The show will continue at the main LCC
gallery through November 4.

Jazz Four

·--·-··

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. Watch the TORCH for further information.

One such poll was taken on September 24 and 25 during registration.
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."

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.

defend C.C. crown
By Don Sinclair

Lane's undefeated cross country team
defends its Oregon Community College
Athletic Association title this Saturday
(Oct. 25) in Sutherlin.
•'This should be the biggest meet on the
schedule so far," Coach Tarpening said.
"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.
I think we're ready for the conference
championships."
The Titan entries at the OCCAA
championships will be Miller, Glenn Owen,
Bill Sharp. Mike McGriff, Jerry Rea, Rich
Ha rte r, Dave Martin (the top seven
fini s hers at Tokatee) , J e ff Boak, Scott
Krause. a nd J ay Knab (the top three
fini shers at Alban y).
Tarpening estimates that his top five

B.B. dribbles out
By Don Sinclair

Twent y three fairl y health y athletes
sho,.•;e d up for th e first on-the-court
pr actice for the Titan basketball team
Monday. 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.
Due to unforseen circumstances, the
photograph of the soccer players on pg. 7

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.

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.
