Venereal disease can be prevented by using condoms...
organisms .to treatment modalities.
Prevention is cheaper, less time consuming, and makes
much more sense than getting the disease. The most sure
preventive of venereal disease, aside from abstinence or
limiting sexual contact to one known health partner, is use of
the condom.
You will find the vending ma~hines available to men and
women in Center Building restrooms, and in two other men's
restrooms on campus.
Untreated venereal disease can have lasting effects upon
your body. Testing and treatment for venereal diseases is
available in our community at your Student Health Service,
White Bird, Lane County Health & Social Services Dept., and
at your family physician's office .

Yes, Virginia, there are condom vending machines on
campus!
They are located on campus because your Student Health
Service & Clinic Advisory Committee strongly advocated the
placement of these vending machines here at LCC. The staff
of your Health Service is not in the business of promoting
promiscuity. We are in the business of controlling
·:ommunicable diseases, and it is for this reason that we so
·tdvocate use of condoms when the occasion arises ,
Venereal disease is the #2 enemy in the list of diseases
threatening our public in Oregon - second only to the common
cold. Gonorrhea continues unabated. More alarmingly, the
incidence of syphilis seems to be rising. We find more and
. more resistance being demonstrated by the causative

Even when harrassed by his teachers clever, "When are
you going to start wearing curlers to school routine," he
maintained his pride.
As an Oregon raised boy, he spent a good amount of time in
scenic Condon. There he claims he was not only the "best
lead guitar player " in high school, but also the president of
BUCO, Bicyclers Union of. Oregon, local #1.
Kevin states that he made many a ''long tr_ip in a derelict
state." In his ventures he peddled from Condon to Portland,
(no small feat), and also from Condon to Redmond on
occasion,
As a muscian he's played in such infamous groups as the
"Stone County Feed. Back" and "Country Review." He's
selective in his musical tastes desiring mostly ''nice ba11ads,
modern jazz, blues, boogies, loud rock and roll and anything
else that's played well."
In anticipation of the cosmic future, Kevin looks for
employment as an'' Art teacher, a bicycle repairman or a rock .
star."
When I asked him what he did for -0ther extra curricular
activities, he just looked at me and then tipped his head back
and began laughing insanely.

Veterans fraud causes nationwide reactions
By Scott Stewart
D~e to the loose guidelines now
employed by Oregon's community college
V .A. offices for the monitoring of the
adequate progress of veterans, stricter
regulations concerning the auditing of
veterans' student status will be adopted at
all levels of the V.A.
G.I. Bill program fraud carries a penalty
of up to one year in prison and maxi_rnum
fine of $2,000. A notice of the penalty will
be incuded in the November payment
checks, one of the several steps the V.A. is
taking to cut down on overpayments.
Wayne Gripp, LCC Veterans representative, says that on Oct 29, the Veterans
Administration and the State Approving Agency will hand down mandates to all Oregon
community colleges that will outline tighter, more stringent and more consistant
guidelines for veterans attending schools on the G.I. Bill.

Do ten per-cent of Oregon's vets
really cheat the governm-ent?
(editors note: This is a reproduction of a news story by the Denver based College
Press Service that was sent to over 400 colleges nationwide. In the TORCH story
below it is explained how the facts and figures given by two men at two Oregon
community colleges resulted in a very misleading nationwide release.)

Donna Arndt, director of Veterans Affairs Regional office in the State of Oregon, says
that in the past the rule has been that each college shall have some system to show that
each veteran is making educational progress, but the method of the system is left up to
the college.

fCPS]--A nationwide college scandal has erupted, involving the possible misuse of
millions of dollars of verterans' education benefits. Evidence gathered by College
Press Service indicates that numerous veterans attending college, as well as the
colleges themselves, may be defrauding the government of money under the GI
Bill.
Abuses of the $3.2 billion-a-year progrm of GI Bill education benefits have led to
investigation~ by state and federal agencies, including the following:

Gripp says that the system LCC uses audits each veteran at the end of each term to
insure that he has completed the number of credits he signed up for. If there is a
discrepency at the end of the term, the LCC V.A. office sends the veteran a card
informing nim of the discrepancy.

--Ten percent of the veterans enrolled in Oregon's 13 community colleges are
cheating the government through the GI Bill, according to several college officials.
Estimate of abuses in Oregon run as high as $2.5 million.

The vet then has two weeks to reply. If the difference in credits show a change in
student status, the vet may have been overpayed, and in that case, he would owe the VA
some money.
Assistant VA Director Grady Horton puts it differently. '' Although colleges have to
publish their own standards, they've only been told that they have to implement them,''
he says. Apparently, no strict guideline assured enforcement.
In an interview with the TORCH, Horton was asked if any statistics were available on
the percentage of veterans who are fraudulantly collecting the G .I. Bill in Oregon. Horton
said, "That's the heart of the problem, we just don't know about it."
Horton went on to say, ''There are various ways a veteran can manipulate the system,
but we have no statistics to know how this is being done."
According to an Associated Press story in the Oct. 21 Register Guard, during the fiscal
year, veterans collected $445.4 million in G.I. Bill benefits they were not entitled to, but
the VA has managed to recover $333.5 million. Millions more may not be collected.
Martin Carlin, one VA official in charge of getting the money back, said in an interview
that the VA has declared another $15.5 million uncollectable because the veteran either
refused to pay, went bankrupt, can't be found, or died.
Gripp says the main reason for overpayment is that veterans drop classes, quit school,
or change majors without notifying the VA office. Gripp also says that those who are
actually defrauding the VA by signing up for classes and not attending and then collecting
the G.I. Bill are only a very small percentage.

Errant story creates controversy
By Cris Clarke
In a Sept 29 news release, the College
Press Service (CPS) of Denver, Colorado
announced that 10 per cent of the Veterans
enrolled in Oregon's 13 community
colleges are cheating the government
through false use of the G.I. Bill. In
attributing this information to '' several
college officials," Diane Auerbach, the
reporter for CPS who compiled the release,
told the TORCH last week that "estimates
of abuses in Oregon run as high as 2.5
million."
But the TORCH discovered this inf~rmation was originally compiled from a July
3. 1975 story written by Dan Bernstein,
then of Northwest News Service of Salem,

;::~-

skills are needed eveywhere ...

Oregon and that Auerbach did not contact
college officials. ''I called up Bernstein
and asked him if he stood by his story.''
says Auerbach, ''but I talked to no one else
in Oregon."
Then CPS released the information to
400 colleges and universities nationwide,
according to . Auerbach. But the infor-.
mation was either ·incorrect, or exaggerated, say VA officials.
Bernstein's story, entitled "Veterans on
'free ride' at community colleges," was
printed in several Oregon newspapers.
The 10 per cent figure which Bernstein
arrived at came from several sources: One
source, Bill Dobson, a Veterans Coordinator at Portland Community College
(PCC), claims that Bernstein badly misquoted him. The statement in question
''Instructors and
reads as follows:
Veterans Officials at Portland and
Chemeketa Community Colleges told
Northwest News Service that 10 per cent of
the veterans enrolled in their institutions
register for classes and vanish for the rest
of the term."
But Dobson said in rebuttal, "We take
acton of one kind or another on 10 per cent
of our vets, and I told him (Bernstein) that
there was less than one per cent who were
trying to rip-off the Veterans Administration in one way or another."
According to Dobson, the 10 per cent
figure consists of many things, such as
adjustments in the status of veterans like
changes in education objectives, complete
withdrawal from class, registration for
class without attending (fraud), and most
important, changes in the number of
classes or credit hours being caqi~c:1In a July 16 rebuttal which was sent to all
publications using Bernstein's story,
including the College Press Service,
Dobson said, "We have estimated that
approximately 10 per cent of the veterans
enrolled at PCC will require sorrie
adjustment in their certification of
attendance for VA _purposes during any
given term."
Other sources of information that
Bernstein contacted are the State Approving Agency, the Regional Veterans Office
in Portland, Mt. Hood Community College,
and Lane Community College.

information, a Chemeketa Community
College writing instructor named Steve
Cooter was quoted as saying, "I've had

Student Health
Dear Editor,
Today, Oct. 20, 1975 the following
observation was made in the snack bar area
of LCC cafeh. ria.
While waiting in line for the normally
slow creation of a cheeseburger, I watch
one of the kitchen employees cutting and
distributing pieces of pie on plates and
placing them in the display rack for sale.
Now. the above incident is not of that
much interest. normally. but please read
on.
The point I want to make is that the
person cutting the pie licked her fingers
each time she shoved a piece of pie from
the server to the plate. I watched her lick
chocolate cream. banana cream, and
whipped cream from both, from her fingers
repeatedly.
ro my gastric dismay, after contamin
ating several pieces of pie, she then went
on about t_he task of stuffing the
cheeseburger I was waiting for into it's
orange bag. All of this was done without
once washing her hands.
As that orange bag containing my
cheeseburger was handed to me I was
reminded of trick or treating at Halloween
as a child. This time I wasn't certain if I
was being tricked or treated to Hepatitis or
an ordinary virus.
At any rate. I have become a confirmed
brown bagger! No. the cheeseburger was
not eaten. My stomach continued to growl
that afternoon and it occasionally flipped as
I flashed on what I had seen.
Thousands of students could become ill
as the result of such indiscriminate
distribution of germs.
I don't want LCC to become the next
focal point of Oregon• s health statistics as
did Crater Lake and Portland.
As students we deserve and should
reserve the right to have the food we pay
for served in the most sanitary manner
possible.
Sincerely. A health conscious student,
C.L. Shirts.

by Crunch McAlister
Hi folks.
M'name's Waldo and Im a veteran of
foreign horrors and a student up here at
Last Chance College. I live down on 13th
Street and the other morning when I was
drivin' up ta scl)ool I sees this long hair in a
sopping wet fatique coat stand in' on the
corner across from Citizens Bunko on 30th.
This guy's got his thumb out and he's
squintin • through a pair of wire rims that
are blurred by the million gallons of rain
he's been drenched by. Now I'm not one to
pass up a guy who's freezin' his arse off,
even if it's some white-shoed, bermudasborted chump with a pea brain under a
crew cut, so I pufls my '51 GMC over to
pick him up.
The hitchhiker runs to my truck, hops in,
thanks me for stoppin' and then starts
talkin' at me like he had a mouthful of
cross-tops for breakfast. I kept up with him
of course, seeing how I got a pretty good
set of jaws myself, and we discuss Gerald
Ford's infinite humor for about a second.
Then this guy introduces his self as Alfonso
something or other and we shook hands,
me fumblin' with his hand and him trying
to wrench my thumb off like them hippies
do.
Well my truck, the Cosmic Gruel I call
'er, ain't exactly no rapid hill climber, fact
she's flyin' like a hound after a hot bitch if
she's doin' better then 20 up a grade. So
me and this Alfonso character had plenty of
time to converse while goin' up ta school.
Of course we briefly rapped about how
we'd both been in Uncle Sam's circus and
how we now were reapin' the bennies of
sufferin' mental depravity and degradation
for so long.
Then this guy Alfonso shakes his head
sending droplets of cold moisture through
out my cab, pulls out his undershirt, takes
off his glasses and starts cleanin' his specs,
Lappin' his tongue across the lens, he
began wagglin • it at me about some crazy
thing that happened to him one day in the
school cafeteria.
He says he was just gettin' up from a
table, after a gut movin' meal of beets and
coffee, y.,hen this tall muscular fella in a
long white lab coat grabs him by the nape
of the neck pickin' him up off his feet,
shakin' him and muttering threateningly in
his ear abut how Alfonso hadn't picked up
the stuff he'd eaten with, off of, or drank
out of.
Alfonso told me that he'd begged the
big lug to put him down, that he was sorry,
that he'd clean up the things, but the
balding self-appointed Food Service
Vigilante wouldn't have none of it.
Instead, qe pivoted around, swinging
Alfonso easily in a one handed grasp and
made for a door back in the kitc_hen.
_Alfonso sat a~ross from me m the cab
w_1th. such a s~nously carved face th~t I
d~dn t know n?ht off whether to behe_v~
?1~ or recognize the guy as a babbhn
1d1ot. I slowly crawled my bucket of bolts

up the hill and decided to just listen 'til he
finished his story before I judged his
insanity.
Anyways he's sayin' that this big ugly
dude had such a grip on his neck that he
was frozen like a kitten in the mouth of it's
momma. He said he was carried forcefully
down a long dark flight of stairs and into
the bowels of the cafeteria. They passed
through another door at the bottom of the
stairs where Alfonso was crudely deposited
at the base of an enormous garbage bin.
The thing was filled with coffee grunds,
soggy cigarette butts, innumerable rotting
organic unrecognizables squished into a
thousand wax pepsi cups and it all was
crawlin' with maggots ·and the like.
Alfonso said the stinkin' aroma was
overpowering and that as he kneeled and
gagged in momentary weakness. the big
fella closes the door to the room and
started screamin' at him.
The mammoth non-pacifist hollered
about what disease-pilgrims the people
that used the cafeteria were. He bellowed
that it was getting him angry. He violently
roared that the students, supposedly
college students, couldn't even pick up
after themselves and that the teachers
were probably worse.
He said that the hogs would start paying
for their sloppiness. That he had a room
full of cockroaches, rats and infectious
diseases and he was going to release them
into the cafeteria at the peak of the lunch
rush one day. In a voice louder than
Tarzan's he then shouted that someone
had to be made an example of first.
Alfonso stopped ~is spiel for a minu~e
and l~oked at m_e with ~atery eyes as his
adam s apple shd up his throat and then
bobbled bac_k down..
Holy Lo?tse_, I dtsgu~tedly_ thought to
myself, this httle fella s gomg to start

cryin' like a baby. My truck reached the
hill's crest and I shifted into second then
turned and asked the hitchhiker what had
come of it all.
Well it turned out that the white-coated
oaf had tried to grab him and toss him into
the garbage bin but that Alfonso had
punched the guy in the gut, doublin' the
guy over for a secon'd, yet only a brief
second 'cause the big guy recovered
instantly and made another attempt to grab
Alfonso. Alfonso had tried to get outa the
way and in his hurry slipped on some slimy
crud on the floor sprawlin' his self down to
his hands and knees and accidently trippin •
the large lug into the massive pile of
garbage.
I pulled off 30th, towards LCC. as
Alfonso told me how· he'd gotten his butt
outa there and the hell up them stairs in
double time. 'Course I didn't believe a
word of it.
Him actin' so dramatic and all, besides
he smelled funny like incense or somethin'.
When we pulled into the parkin' lot
Alfonso mumbled somethin' abut bein' late
for a mushrooms class and that he'd see
me later. I could hardly keep from laughin'
as the clumsy schmuck jumped out into the
rain falling face down into a big mud
puddle. I figured that'd teach him to go
around telJin' wild jive stories about sloppy
students.
Then again I don't suspect it did 'cause
he just looked back up at me and with a
muck eatin' grin spread across his face said
that every word was the gospel truth. Then
he kinda slithered off towards the Science
B~ilding.
.

Boy. yo~ Just cant, tell w~at kmd of

A 29-year-old Lane Community College
student died early Saturday when he was
thrown from his automobile after it ran off
the road and overturned near Cottage
Grove Reservoir.
The car and the body of David Nielson
Fick. of 77500 S. Sixth St .. Cottage Grove,
were discovered by three hunters abut 9
a. m. Saturday. Lane County sheriff's
deputies said the accident apparen'tly
occurred sometime after 2 a.m. as Fick was
driving south on London Road on the west
side of the reservoir.
Authorities said Fick lived with his

American Ethnic Folklore, stating, "There
is a memo being circulated t0- everyone but
the Interdisciplinary Dept. that Women's
Studies will be consolidated with the Social
Science· Dept. Women Studies is a
member of the Interdisciplinary Dept.
The memo continues, ''It is feared that if
the Interdisciplinary Dept. is dissolved and
the classes placed into other departments
that they will become of secondary, not
primary concern and soom be taught by
instructors not interested or well prepared
to instruct these highly personalized
courses, and that soom they will disappear
altogether. Any social progress made by
this type of instruction in the last fifteen
years will quickly dissolve.''
After some discussion, Geanie Walton
initiated a motion to place a measure on the
fall ballot seeking student favor for
retention of Interdisciplinary Studies Dept.
Jim Frank expressed great concern about
how the possible loss of Interdisciplinary
classes would affect not only women but
Chicanos, Blacks , and other minorities.
These other groups also fall under

By Russ Linebarger
LCC, by contractual agreement, has
taken another step toward acquiring the
use of the KVDO television facility in
Salem, Oregon.
In the Oct 15, 1974 issue of the TORCH,
it was reported that Liberty Broadcasting
(which owns KVDO). headed by President
Don Tykeson, had offered to sell the KVDO
station to Lane Community College for a
price of $200,000.
The LCC Board of Education, considering the offer at the time, was working
under a deficit of almost $300,000 and
delayed it's consideration of the station non-commercial media. Nickell said, "our
purchase, due to it's own budgetary original interest ... our continuing interest,

In the 26 years since Chiang Kai-shek
led his people into exile on the islands of
Taiwan and Quemoy, most of the world has
come to look on the Chinese civil war as
yesterday's lunch.
Nationalist China has been booted out of
the United Nations, the Pe_ople's Republic
of China is consorting with even the most
capitalistic of the capitalist running dogs,
and the prospect of war in the Middle East
has drawn global attention to Egypt and
Israel.
Meanwhile, many of the Chinese on bothsides carry on with the civil war in feud-like

junior high youngsters. ..With our
program," remarks Malin. ••we are trying
to alleviate some of these difficulties by
using concerned volunteers.,.
According to Malin, •'There are a couple
of things we are looking for in a volunteer,
that they like children and have the spare
time to devote to their child, and that they
attend a volunteer meeting once a month . .,

One third ($10,000) of the financial
support for the Big Brother-Sister Program
comes from "Title One." a special federal
fund, and two thirds ($20,000) from the
Four-J school budget. Malin reports that
this is the last year their program will
receive federal funds and she hopes the
Four-J school budget will support the
program next year with the additional
funds needed.
Ten years ago, starting with 30
volunteers and 30 children. Robin
Williams. a school counselor at Whiteakt!r
Grade School and Bob Lee, who was
working on a similar project at Skipworth
· Juvenile House combined forces and
created Big-Brother-Sister as it is today.
Bob Lee is now acting director of the
program.
Today. the Big Brother-Sister Program
provides companions for youngsters in
Cottage Grove. Springfield. Bethel District
52. Four-J District, and at the Campus
YWCA in Eugene. Each school district
has its own supervisor or program
assistants to direct activities for their given
area.

ganda back and forth at each other, day
and night.
But in the year of Chiang Kai-shek' s
death, the Republic of China's obsession
with returning to the mainland may
gradually be going away, says a Lane
Community College political scientist who
spent a month on Taiwan this summer
interviewing government, business and
military leaders.
Paul Malm. who teaches international
relations, returned to Eugene with the
impression that Taiwan's 16 million people ·
are determined to reach economic independence and a national identity of their own
regardless of Chiang's vow to someday run
the communists out of Peking.
''While most of the major memorials to
Chiang have him peering toward the
mainland, I really think that beneath it all

their buildings.
Elderly Chinese who are still able to
work either perform piece work for the
government or find themselves working on
state-run farms. Even veterans who are
disabled or who cannot find a job end up
working in factories or on farms owned by
the Chinese equivalent of the Veterans'
Administration.•
Industrialization, which kept the national
debt last year at a mere $2 billion
(compared to $400 billion for the U.S. and
$72 billion for Egypt) has also had a couple
of side effects, said Malm--one good and
one bad.
On the plus side, it has •propped up a
society of 16 millin people ("I had one
educator say to me that they could spport
SO million, but I don't see how. I told him,
'look, your streets are already overcrowded and your air is so polluted you can't
breathe, I just don't see how you could do
it.' "); and has made the country a world
leader in land reform and land use
planning.
''The country is four-fifths mountains,
yet they're getting three crops of rice a
year.'' he said.
"Up to now, at least, they've been
making land reform work by utilizing
nearly every piece of land in the country,
and, through their land reform institute,
~hey're sharing what they know with other
countries."
A system that prohibits absentee
landlords from taking more than 37 .5
percent of the crops grown on their land,
while permitting sharecroppers to slowly
buy up the land they farm also provides
incentive for agricultural productivity.
Industrialization has also caused some
problems, said Malm, particularly with the
environment--a grim tact of life on Taiwan
that he does not see changing soon.
'' At the moment they're thinking in
terms of productivity," he said, "and they
don't have the extra funds to deal with the
environment. But they're going to have to

is a thrust to build internally, for the good
of the people and the nation,'' said Malm.
''I get the feeling that if Red China
didn't bug them, they wouldn't bug back.•:
Malm's thoughts on the Chinese state of
mind came after four weeks of intensive
first-hand study of China's political and
economic affairs.
Economics is where the "new" China'5
strength lies, he said.
In an area one seventh the size of
Oregon, the Republic of China has
mobilized an industrial economy which has
spawned huge, western-style factories,
mills, textile plants and shipyards (the
world's largest drydock is already 1ere
and the world's second largest shipyard is
under construction next door), and accounts for a per capita income of $700 a
year. The government's goal is $1,000 a
year by 1980.
The Chinese work force takes in nearly.

drop-out rate for the program to be near SO
percent. which he says can be attributed to
first term students who underestimate the
amount of time and the amount of work
needed to complete the program.
He believes another factor is the working
conditions which are faced by students in
class field work.
Field conditions. Phillips acknowledges.
often involve inclement weather. muddy
terrain. and large amounts of physical
work. but he also points out that Forest
Technology graduates are payed to be in
the woods while the average recreationalist
pays to be outdoors. Several of the
students express a favorable attitude
toward the program, and share many of the
sentiments expressed by Phillips.
Second year students Don Freeman and
Mike Miller believe that they are obtaining
the skills that will prepare them for work.
Freeman said. "I came here to get a job I
wanted and through the program I'm doing
it.'' Freeman has a job lined up as an
engineering aide with the Fol'est Service.
Miller is hoping for a job witli the Bureau
of Land Management and expects to de

Freeman and Miller assert that many
graduates of the program obtain jobs, and
both gave- examples of graduates who are
working throughout the western United
States.
Larry Powell. a graduate from the Forest
'Technology Program 'Yhile it was a one
year program. who is now working for the
Bureau of Land Management feels that the
program prepares the graduate for work.
Powell says that much of what he learned
in the program has been useful and he
affirms that working conditions are similar
to those he experienced in class field work.
Powell. Miller and Freeman emphasize
that it requires time. effort and dedication
to complete the program.
Forest Technology credit is not transferable to either the University of Oregon or
Oregon State University, but Lane Community College does offer a one year

credits. There are very few students

start dealing with it soon, or it will be too
late.
"I want to go back again someday to see
how they're going to go about it."
Politically, Malm feels that despite its
expulsion from the U.N., the Republic of
China is still "extremely important in
international affairs, particularly with the
fall of Vietnam.
''They (the Chinese) still feel their
primary connection with the rest of the
world is through the U.S.", he said, "and
they're very concerned about the President's visit to (mainland) China this fall.
"They wonder if we'll kiss them off."
Internally, _China does not appear to be
as jittery as it once was, says M11-lm.
Since Chiang's death, a new political
order has started to slacken the grip on
many of the personal freedoms the Chinese
gave up when they went under martial law
in 1949. Though uncomplimentary magazine and newspaper articles are often
removed before the general public gets to
see them. the economic success seems to
have relaxed the government to the point
where criticism of government policies is
often heard in the home and on the streets,
and the practice of issuing entry and exit
·perm_its _has been liberalized.
The current political leadership, led by
President Yen Chia-kan and Premier
Chiang Ching-Kuo (Chiang's son), is more
relaxed than was the high government
under the Generalissimo: and while
military defense is still given high priority
(Quemoy is a virtual fortress, all underground), there seems to be a growing
recognition that construction and improvement of living standards are of equal or
greater importance.
For a people who once considered their
island nation only a temporary home, such
a change in governmental attitude is vital,
particularly if, as Malm observes, the
Republic of China sits perched on Taiwan
for a long, long time.

The womens movement:
Is it really bringing about change

By Karen Heidemann

"Since women comprise about half the total number of students at LCC, we need to
have the services oriented to us and I think that half the faculty, half the Administration,
and the Board should be women."
These are the sentiments of Robbie Hannah, an instructor of Women's Studies who
believes LCC has seen several changes in classes, college administration, groups, and
activities due to the women's movement, but who believes many changes still need to be
made.
One of the changes at LCC due to the woman's movement, according to Hannah, is the
increase in returning women students -- not only women who have raised families and are
returning, but also women who want to develop skills which are not traditionally female.
Hannah doesn't believe women at LCC are or have ever been legally kept out of any
classes offered, but she adds "the women's movement has encouraged women to take-up
skilled occupations which were traditionally male occupations that allow the kind of
money that makes it possible to live comfortably." But she asserts, "I don't think Lane
went out of its way to get these women into the classes. I'm sure it was the women
themselves.''
Hannah believes the women's movement has produced very little change in the
administration of LCC. "Beyond having one woman who is an administrator and another
Woman who is the Program Specialist, I don't think there's any Administration change."
Still, Hannah ~elieves both of these positions are a result of the women's movement in
general.
She says many groups and organizations have formed on the LCC campus as a result of
the women's movement: Women for Equality, operated for approximately two years
before, even though it was unable to find any available space in which to meet except in
the women's rest area lounge near the cafeteria. ''That speaks for its self in terms of the
concern the Administraton places on women students."
The Women's Awareness Center which is a newly established meetin_g area is located
in the Center Building behind the Veteran's office. And there is also a meeting room in
the Math Building specifically for women returning after an extended leave from the
academic world. Hannah explains that the Women's Awareness Center is actually an
office, so "there still doesn't seem to be a place that is just a room where any group of
women can get together at any time.''
Several classes especially for women have opened up at LCC including Hannah's own
Women's Studies courses, which hav<=: been open for two years now. But several
instructors believe that there are still many changes that need to be made.
Linda Danielson, instructor of folklore and minority literature, believes that
"disportionatly large number (more than half) of part-time noncontracted (less than
half-time) faculty are women--thus working on term to term agreements, with no fringe
benefits or union representation and lower per-class salary than·contracted teachers."
Expanding on this issue Hanna said of her own position: "Part-time status is
characterized by not knowing whether you will continue to be employed each quarter
you have to re-sign the contract, and so your ability to plan ahead is severely limited, not
only interms of your personal servival but also in terms of what you can develop in your
courses ... ''
"My position as instructor of Women's Studies takes up approximately 25 hours each
week. yet I get payed only 2/5 time, just because they say they don't have enough
money." Hannah says Jeanette Silveira, who taught Women's Studies during its first
year, resigned for this same reason.
Hannah believes the women's program needs to be expanded to include at least one
more instructor. She also believes women need a "functioning student group that is not
connected with any specific payed office and which would have much more say in what
happens to women's studies and women's awareness."
"I think at LCC there are a lot of women who are just beginning to think about the
•
womens movement and what it has to offer them and what they have to offer it."

Fewer male
•
nursmg
students
at LCC
by Karen Heidemann
The number of male students enrolled in
the LCC nursing program has, for unknown
reasons, decreased this year.
Estelle Singleton, heac of LCC's Nursing
Department, claims that ther were only 44
male applicants last year while there have
been near 80 in each past year.
The total number of students, male and
female, who are in the program this year is
tso: of this number, 21 are male. Last

year's total enrollment was 135 of which 24
were males. Returning male students who
have returned to finish up in their two year
Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) course
make up 11 of this year's total of male
students.
"We always encourage them to come,
which doesn't mean they'll be accepted.

The Center is run in an informal manner, inviting students to just come in and talk over a.
cup of coffee. Many of the people who do just that often find themselves making friends
and findinj? someone who will listen to the problems that bother them.
The Center's goal, according to Anne
Stewart, is .. to help anyone who's trying to
deal with the impact of changing roles for
women and men in their lives.'' The one
common situation is that of the returning
woman who,. for reasons ranging from the
death of the husband, to just wanting to
gain a little knowledge, finds that she is
frightened by the awkwardness of associating with other, younger students.
Stewart says, just being able to talk to
someone helps to alleviate these fears, and
puts things back into perspective.
Opportunity Awareness is another area
of concern which the Center deals with.
Tours of the campus are offered to anyone
interested so that they may become
familiar with the college's facilities and
procedures. Local high schools have
participated in this program, and during
. the tours it is stressed that there be no
division of sexes on campus. In this way,
students can explore all the areas of
interest and decide their future course
rather than have it programmed into them,
Stewart says. The high school tours help

LCC seeks levy increase

to exceed 6% •limitations

Lane Community College will seek a levy
outside the six percent limitation April 20,
the same day voters choose new members
representing Zones 1 and 4 on the LCC
Board of Education.
The Board unanimously approved the
April 1976 date from a list of eight dates set
aside by the state legislature for school
districts to hold elections. Other possible
choices were Jan. 13, March 9, May 25,
June 29. Aug. 10, Sept. 21. and Nov. 2.
Election of Board members on April 20 is
required anyway. and by holding the
budget election on the same day, LCC will
not be charged extra by the county for the
additional item on the ballot. Board
members Al Brauer, a Florence physician.
and Stephen Ried, a Fall Creek logger,

complete their terms this year. but neither
has announced whether he will run again.
Brauer. who is chairman this year. was
elected to the first Board in 1964 and is the
only original member still serving.

The LCC administration and staff will
now develop a budget for next year, which
will include capital outlay funds for
replacement of worn out or outdated
vocational equipment. and will send the
proposed budget to the lay budget
committee about the first of the year.
The budget committee is composed of
seven appointed members from the LCC
district, and the seven elected Board
members. It will probably complete its
duties by early March.

Apathy prompts mass resignation
"We can't continue to carry the, ball
alone," stated Rich Buehrig as he
announced the verbal resignation of all
four officers of the LCC Veterans Club .
''There's not going to be an organization
if people don't start sho\\ ing any interest.•'
says Huehrig. who was the club 's vice
president.
Joining Buehrig in the mass resignation
were Steve Philips, president. Michael
Roche, secretary and Dave Sellars, treas.
The resignations were announced to the
Vet's Club at their October 22 meeting. at
which there were only nine members,
including the officers, present.
Buehrig emphasized that another reason
for the resignations is the philosophy of the
officers that the club neects to cnange
.
.
leaders from year to year, to avoid

becoming "stagnant." but the main reason
was disappointment on the part of the
officers that only nine of LCC's approx. imately 2,000 veterans have shown any
interest in the projects of the club.
These projects include:
A book exchange program in which
anyone can donate their old books in return
for other books.
Lobbying efforts in support of the
Veterans Regional meeting, October 31
and November 1, at Portland Community
College.
A continuing effort to upgrade discharges and Seperation Processing Numbers.
Buehrig stated that unless some vets
show up for the 'November 5 meeting in
Apprenticeship 213, "we're going to cash
it in."

locker room thefts and auto break-ins

according to Allan (Hap) Stanley. new
manager of Security and Communication.
Stanley, who became manager of
Security and Communication during a
reorganization of the department over the
summer. stated that a small number of

three or four people sign up for my class
four years in a row, term after term, and
never show up. I assume, but I don't
know, that they collect money for that. I
would say that 10 per cent of every class is
that way."
In a later telephone conversation with
the TORCH. Cooter stated that he wasn't
misquoted, but that Bernstein had not used
all he had said in his story. ''The quotation
was all correct," Cooter says, "but it was
incomplete. He (Bernstein) took the
negative things out of our chat."
From his interviews with both Dobson
and Cooter. Bernstein compiled his story,
but states that the 10 per cent figure is
strictly an estimation. In a note to the
TORCH last week he said "Keep in mind
that at the time of the article, no one had
firm figures about the number of cheating
vets," he says, "the 10 per cent estimate is
just that--an estimate."
• 'l do stand by my article,'' says
Bernstein, "because I understood- Dobson
to say that the 10 per cent figure
represented cheaters.''
"I can only assume Dobson changed his
tune after the fall-out which you've (The
TORCH) been experiencing hit his office.·'
But Dobson was aware of the controversial story two months before the Sept
29, 1975 CPS news release -- his rebuttal
was printed in the Daily Journal of
Commerce, of Portland, on July 16.
"The $2.5 million figure is simply a
calculation based on the 10 per cent
cheater (Bernstein's term) figure, the total
number of vets, and the total number of
veterans· educational benefits coming into
the state," Bernstein says.
··My story was written at the same time
that a survey was being conducted by the
State Approving Agency to try to determine what the actual number of cheating
veterans is," Bernstein says.
I was in hopes that it would stimulate
some debate on the subject of veterans'
fraud,'' says Bernstein, ''which I think is
the central issue here.''

Miller's rival from Central Oregon, Gary
Schroeder and his teammate Tim Leghe,
finished one-two, slightly tainted because
of Miller's roadmat difficulties.
The all-conference second team included
the second seven finishers on which Lane's
Rich Harter (11th) and Dave Martin (13th).
qualified.
The team is favored to win the Region 18
title Saturday, but Coach Tarpenning is
concerned about the three Idaho schools:
"The College of Idaho is very strong," he
said. "the key to the race will be for our
number four, five, six and seven men
across before Idaho gets their fourth and
fifth men in. That's our goal."
The top three teams, as well as the first
15 run nus regardless of their team, qualify
for the national meet which will be held
Nov. 8 at Rochester, Minnesota.

The Titan - Cross Country placed
four men on the all-conference team and
glided to a convincing fifth straight Oregon
Community College Athletic Association
cross country championship in Sutherlin
last Saturday.
The Titan dynasty continues at the
Lebanon golf course this Saturday, at 11 :30
when the team attempts its 5th straight
championship in the Rel:!ion 18 meet.
which is just one step below the National
title.
Sophomore John Miller made a wrong
turn on the course and had to cover ari
extra 200 yards in correcting the mistake
and yet finished third and led the Titans
into the chute. Mike McGriff was fourth,
Glen Owen fifth, and Bill Sharp--all
making the All-Conference Team, which is
comprised of the top seven runners.

The Soccer Team did it all this week -the Titans won one, lost one, and tied one.
The problem is, the one they lost was a
league game to SOC. But the Titans get a
return match with SOC on Nov. 22 at
Ashland, which can be viewed locally on
KOBI-TV (cable television).
Lane played the two best high school
teams in the state, tying Churchill, 2-2 Oct.
18 and beating Sheldon Monday night, 4-1.
Co·ach Gyorgyfalvy has been making
some starting lineup changes to allow more
playing experience to all of his players. It
could have hurt on Saturday when the
Titans lost to Southern Oregon College 3-1
when the SOC team only scored one
legitimate goal.
Cort Lae scored the first goal for Lane off
a penalty kick and stayed in front when
Titan goalie, Gary Sumnal made a
beautiful stop of a SOC penalty kick. That
was the end of the fun.
A fullback for SOC scored on a high kick
from 50 yards out on the first of two freak
plays as Sumnal misjudged the ball on the
way down and it dropped in to tie the score
1-1.

Then Sumnal caught the next shot right
in front of the goal and his own center
fullback headed it out of his hands and into
the goal, 2-1 SOC.
SOC scored on a corner kick which was
executed perfectly.
The two Nigerian fullbacks for SOC were
nearly impenetrable a'nd controlled the
posture of the game from the backfield.

Field Hockey: a>n:1 1noqy
By Joy Lundstrum

The LCC women's field hockey team has
tasted victory twice in the past week -- and
wants more.
"I'm very pleased with this team," says
Coach Debbie Dagget. "It has come along
way."
Lane's team is composed chiefly of
freshwomen, many whom had never
played the game until they enrolled here.
Consequently , says Dagget, the players
have been learning the sport as they played
experienced competition -- not the easiest
way, but a good way. But the women of
Lane 's hocke team have raven their skill.

•

The first victory came on Tuesday (Oct.
18) with a convincing 2-0 win over the
Oregon State University junior varsity.
Coach Dagget said that Lane battled for ten
minutes o~ its own twenty five yard line
before turning the sticks around and
scoring with a strong drive play by
center-forward Carol Miller. The second
goal. also scored by Miller, was scored late
in the second half.
Bouyed by this triumph, the Titans came
back on Thursday to pick up their second
win b whi in Thurston Hi h School 3-0.

Next week is the official basketball introductory coverage in the TORCH but since many
of us watched the Trailblazer-Sonic game on TV from Seattle last Friday night, it deserves
attention now.
Seattle won the contest, 105-97, yet the outcome was inconsequential really, to just
about everyone-everyone except the coaches, ex-Celtic super center Bill Russell of
Seattle, and Lenny Wilkens the ex-playmaker for many teams and coach of the Blazers.
Both of those men knew how important this first league game of the Seac30n was in
establishing a winning tempo. "Teach those guys, whoever they are, that we will do
anything to win. That alone will intimidate them!"
It could have been the heat of the fracas but it looked to me like coach Bill Russell has
taken a page out of Red Auerbach's book of "Starting to Build a Champion" or "VVhen
You Decide to Win." Russell apparently feels that if those tactics win, they are justified.
It's a very close game. Seattle is leading by one point with 2:20 left in the third quarter.
Enter, stage right, John Hummer with no points, no rebounds in the game.
After playing nine minutes, his first good move of the game consists of chunking
Portland's Big Bill Walton (10 points, 11 rebounds) in the ribs with a hard elbow. That is
returned to Hurnmer, so Hummer tees off with a solid right to the jaw of Walton.
Walton returns that punch to Big John too, with vigor, and then Hummer throws a few
punches in retreat, to make it look good.
He and Walton are both ejected from the game for fighting and Hummer leaves
happily-he has done his job well. Whatever it takes.
I could not help but remember the old University of Oregon star, "Jungle Jim" James
Loscutoff when he did the same thing for the Celtics in Bill Russell's early years at
Boston. He did whatever it takes to win.
But Lenny Wilkens, the Blazer coach, obviously did not expect those tactics. He didn't
have a chance to protect his player like Al Addles did in the playoffs last year when Mike
Reardon of the Capitol Bullets tried to pick a fight with Golden State Warrior Super Star
Rick Barry.
Wilkens did try to protect Walton after the ejection by putting the game under protest
because Hummer obviously started the fight. Wilkens contended, and I think rightly,
that Walton should not have been thrown out. VVhat is he supposed to do, let Hummer
pound on him in front of 14,000 people?
My comment. has three parts. We could say the referees must be more aware, but~ how
can they? This was a fine example for the proponents of ''the third referee'' in
basketball. Also I think before any player is ejected, the referees should concur on a
rational decision rather than an instantaneous one that would be difficult to change. And
because of the violence in sports these days, I think a rule should be made for automatic 7
day suspension if a player starts a fight in a game.
Secondly, the Blazers and Big Bill Walton are going to have to be prepared for
situations like this in the future. Bill probably did the right thing this time--he tagged the
dude a good one so the rednecks in this country will understand he's got fire and, to use
their word, guts. He's not a spineless hippie.
But from hereon out, he's really got ta rough it out ... maintain composure and turn the
other cheek ... and let people see how really strong he is. And more importantly, he should
le~ people see that the caveman-type tactics can't win anymore. Let them see that the guy
with the cool head and red beard can be intimidating, just by being there.
Thirdly, I am ashamed of the coverage that was given the incident by the media.
Jimmy Jones, the Blazer TV broadcaster, openly jeered Bill after Walton said he chose
not to appear on Jone's post-game show. I think when you've prepared as hard as Walton
has for the start of the season and a klutz walks over and busts the side of your head while
you're working, you have another valid excuse for not talking with Jimmy Jones. Also,
the Associated Press coverage was not fair. Walton did nothing but protect himself.
Hummer and the referees did the rest. The radio news merely said Walton was removed
from the game, but didn't give the details.
I was proud of some of the Seattle fans that stood and cheered FOR Bill as he left the
floor. I've never met Bill, never seen him play in person, nor have I been a Bill Walton
fan ... 'til now.
