There is a new face in the TORCH office lately; that of
brown-eyed, dark haired, "flaming Leo". Her name is Mary
Boyce, "or Mary Avalon, whichever you prefer." She is the
editor in the production of the new literary supplement,
"Reflections" to appear each month in the TORCH.
Mary finished her senior year at Mount Hood Community
College and graduated in 1972. She then attended Portland
Community College for a year, and is now an Art and Applied
Design major here at Lane.
She says that when she "grows up" she would like to be a
magician. At five feet tall, growing up has always been one of
Mary's lifelong dreams.
With a part-time job for a magazine, editor of "Reflections",
and going to school full time, Mary still finds time ("barely") for
her 1 ½ year old son, Benjamin.
When asked what she likes to do on weekends, Mary replies,
''I like to moderately debauch." I asked her what she plans to do
next year, and she says, "I'm going to cut the soles off my shoes,
sit in a tree, and learn to play the flute."

Confusing appointment may cost instructor
by Chona Woodward
When the college developed the new
position of Women's Program Specialist
this summer, it included teaching responsibilities in the full-time post--but LCC
already had a part-time Women's Studies
instructor.

According to Gerald Rasmussen, the
Dean of Instructional Operations, this
position came about as a result of a
conference of staff representatives from
Oregon's 13 community colleges which was
held at LCC last April called "Let's Put

Women In Their Place."
Anne Stewart, who is the new Program
Specialist and Director of the Women's
Awareness Center, will . be required to
instruct Women's Studies,
Robbie Hanna, who currently holds the
position of Women's Studies Instructor,
feels that her job is being jeopardized by
this new positio~ of Program Specialist.
Hanna and Stewart both agree that if the
Program Specialist has the duties of
directing the Women's Awareness Center
and also instructing Women's Studies,
which requires 28 work hours per week,
then "both programs would suffer."
When asked what action had been taken
to reinstate Hanna's position, Stewart said
she plans to submit a paper to the
Administration expressing the need for a
separate Women's Studies Instructor.
Hanna has presented a paper to the
Human Awareness Council, supporting the
position of a qualified instructor of
Women's Studies and re-allocating previously assigned funds.
The Human Awareness Council which
indicated they will support Hanna, will
then submit their written support to the
Administration. But the final decision is in
the hands of the Administration.

"They could hire me or fire me, · says
Hanna. "My position has been one of
fluxuation, plus with the department
hassle," referring to the possible dissolution of the Interdisciplinary Studies
Department, "so it's been a Jittle much."
Last week the TORCH ran a story which
covered the resignation of Interdisciplinary
Studies' Bill Powell, and the subsequent
possibility that the department will be
dissolved.
According to Rasmussen, the money for
reinstating Hanna's position can come
about only through a petition to the Board
for continuaricy funds. Until the Board
meets in December, no decision can be
made.
Hanna believes that this transfer of
positions and consequently the possible
elimination of her job, was due to a lack of
"planning and farsightedness" of the
Administration She feels that the issues
concerning who would be qualified for the
position of Women's Studies Instructor
were not presented at the April conference.
She adds, "If the position of Women's
Studies Instructor becomes disconnected
with the women's movement, then the
whole .essence of it's being will not be
there, the momentum is lost.''

ASLCC allocates funds,

installs new treasurer

by Geary Lockard ·
In their Senate meeting last week, the
ASLCC installed a new Treasurer, removed
four ballot measures from the upcoming
elections and doled out $1,895 to three
different groups.
The Thursday, Nov. 6 meeting in the
President's dining room was described by
ASLCC Secretary Connie Hood as '' one of
the busiest senate meetings in over a
year." The Senate worked it's way
through a variety of action items which
included:
Accounting major, Jim Matthews was the millionth person to be checked through the
library's book-theft monitor which has saved tax payers an estimated $50,000 in stolen
materials over the past 3 years.

Board orders student
and staff indoctrination
by Mike McLain
Campuswide affirmative action training
for students and staff was ordered by the
Board at its Wednesday night meeting in
response to comments that minority
students and staff don't feel welcome at
LCC.

Following a presentation of an afttrmitive action plan by Equal Opportunities
Advisor, Jonothan West, the Board
ordered the administration to immediately
impliment campuswide indoctrination of
staff regarding affirmative action and
equal opportunity and to begin awareness
training for both staf and students.
In his presentation West said that
although there are more minority students
here now than ever before, the high
turnover rate for minority instructors made
it hard for them to feel comfortable. Jim
Frank, the President of the Chicano
student group MECHA, agreed saying
"it's not just racial prejedice or discrimination it's the cultural and language
barriers that are restrictive to blacks,

Indians and Chicanos. West ~xplained the
need for more minority instructors saying
'' Everyone here is not racist but the
minority students need role
someone they can go and talk to.~•
He said that "now, when the college
finds qualified minority instructors, they
don't come here," and that there is a 65
per cent attrition rate among the instructors that do come to Lance.
West's Affirmitive Action Plan contained a proposal to form a committee that
ould pursue 10 objectives in the equal
opportunity area.
Larry Perry then recommended that the
Board immediately impliment two of the
ten objectives while the committee is being
formed. The Board then voted to initiate
the indoctrination of staff and the
awareness training for both staff and
,students.
LCC President Eldon Schafer said that
the college conducts interviews with
instructors who decide to leave Lane to find
out why and to try and correct the
cont. on page 6

A unanimous vote to instate Kathy
Monje (Mone-yea) as ASLCC Treasurer.
Following the vote, President Len Wassom
immediately swore her in.
In his Officer's Report, Vice President
Richard Weber reported that the executive
cabinet had removed five of the six
proposed ballot measures from the ballot
we to improper procedures in submitting.
Weber stated that the Student Senate
could overrule the executive cabinet
decision, and later the Senate did just that,
and so reinstated one of the five whch had
been stricken.
Activities director, Francie Kilian, announced in her Officer's Report that she
had secured $1250 worth of films for $1000.
She has contracted with Films Inc. to show
these films: Little Women, Killing of
Sister George, Citizeq Kane, The Fixer,
Zorba the Greek, M.A.S.H., Willy Wonka
and the Chocolate Factory, Brothers and

Sisters in Concert, and On a Clear Day,
You Can See Forever. Kilian stated that
admission would be minimal and that some
flicks may run twice, probably in the
afternoon at the Forum.
Dealing with Action Item #1, the Senate
received a request from the TORCH to
fund the literary arts publication, ''Reflect-ions" in the amount of $645 to cover the
printing costs of the eight page monthly
supplement. A vote was taken and the
request fulfilled. "The publication "Reflections'' will aid students in several
ways. Students who participate will learn
commercial production techniques. They
will have a medium in which to express
their literary and artistic talents, and this
publication will give student and staff
writers positive reinforcement, as well as
provide LCC community with a variety of
reading material and art work, free of
charge,'' according to Mike McLain,
TORCH editor.
Next, the Senate recognized four new
campus organizations. Namely, The Chess
Club, The American Welding Society, The
Members of Forest Technology, and The
Lane Community College Committee to
Stamp Out Senate Bill #1. This last
organization, also known as LCCCSOSl,
received extra funding to the tune of $250.
In other business the Senate agreed to
submit a request to the LCC Board of
Education asking the Board to Investigate
Special Programs Activities Fund (SPAF),
''to eliminate possible inequities in the
treatment of the users.''

New name for TORCH
The majority of the TORCH staff has expressed a desire to change the name of
the newspaper. But since the paper gets approximately SO per cent of its funding
from student body fees, we feel that the students should have some input into this
decision.
While we have a few ideas on a new name, we would also like to get some ideas
from the students.
So if you have any feelings about changing the name of the TORCH or if you have
any suggestions as to a new name, please contact the TORCH at Room 206 Center.

ASLCC and OSPIRG Elections
Nov. 12 and 13-Please I get out and VOTE

November 11, 1975

Argument in Favor: Students have been
inordinately charitable during the past four
years as the college remodeled student
comfort and recreation completely out of
LCC. A few years ago, we had lounges on
the 2nd and 4th floors of the Center
Building. Though inadequate, we had a
game area which was never properly
developed and is now closed. These and
other smaller lounge/ study areas around
campus where students could relax for a
few minutes have all taken the route of
"removal" for the sake of instruction and
support staff. We are not opposed to
having sufficient space for instruction
and/ or support staff, but firmly believe
that the college should provide students
with space for reasonable comfort and
relaxation, particularly since this is a
commuter college. Many of us arrive on
campus in early morning and are here until
early evening, sometimes longer. Most of
us cannot afford to return "home" as
happens at an in-residence college, nor is
there time for those of us who drive long
distances or ride the bus. We observe that
staff members also drive long distances,

but are provided with ''area·' lounges for
those who do not have specific offices.
These areas are sometimes called ''work
rooms.'' Others are more appropriately
labeled "staff lounge" using the name of
the area rather than "staff." We are not
criticizing this, as we feel these areas are
appropriate for exactly the same reasons
that we request space for students.
You might note that in our recent
accreditation report, one of the items the
team labeled inadequate was space for
students. You might also note that each of
the other community colleges in Oregon,
where construction is well under way or
complete, has made space provisions for
their students. This is doubly apparent
when we visit other campuses and discover
that they can host up in comfortable areas
with relaxed atmospheres, but we cannot
reciprocate.
Argument in Opposition: It is unnecessary
for the student body to dedicate its money
to this kind of developlent, because the
administration and Baord are already
assuming this responsibility. It would be
foolish for the students to devote their own
money to something that will be paid from
other funds. At the present, the ASLCC is
requesting that the administration raise
the priority fo the student association's
request for space and it wuld be stupid to
try to set aside our own funds for this kind
of project. There are much more beneficial
things that could be done with this money.
Even if the school were not considering this
project on their own, the cost would be
several hundreds of thousands of dollars-va~tly more than a project such as this one
would ever be able to raise.

KLCC to fund for itself

HEW loans whirlybird to LCC
The LCC Aviation Maintenance Department added a helicopter to its inventory
last week.
The 13 year old Bell 47, on loan from the
Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare (HEW) which recently acquired it
as military surplus through Civil Defense,
is in running order with the exception of a
slightly deteriorated rotor blade.
But the condition of the loan is that the
helicopter is not to be flown; it will serve
for maintenance instruction only. Lyle
Swetland, Director of the LCC Develop-

ment Fu'nd suggested that the no flight
stipulation '' might be because of the cost
of operation.''
The Bell 47 will, however, enable
students of the department to become
familiar with that particular piece of
equipment in terms of air-worthiness and
running condition.
The cost was $250 to move the Bell 47
from the Coos County Sheriff's Department, where it was used as part of the
Search and Rescue Program, toLCCwhere
HEW has stationed the bird indefinately.

A student lounge complete with carpeting, lounge chairs, pool and foos~ball
tables may be in LCC's future.
This, according to Jay Jones, director of
Student Activities, may be included in the
remodeling of the Center Building which is
scheduled for sometime in the next two
years. Also included would be the
relocation of the student government
offices downstairs next to the snack-bar in
what used to be the maintenance and
security offices.
The new lounge, if approved, would be
constructed in the southern half of the
snack-bar area, adjacent to the proposed
student government offices. This is the
same area that, up until last summer,
housed the pool tables.
Having the student government and the
lounge close together would be advantagous in many ways, says Jones. It would
give the student government more room in
which to work. The lounge could be used
for club meetings and other functions and
the pool tables, if permitted, could be
monitored closely and not allowed to slip
into the "sorry state" he believes they
were in when shut down last spring.
He admits the reinstallation of the pool
tables is a somewhat delicate subject, as
they were the cause, or at least the focal
point of so many problems over the last
couple years. Jones says the problems
began several years ago when the student
government wanted pool tables set up to
bring in revenue for activities. "The area
was set up quickly and haphazardly with no
provisions made for supervision. Nonstudents began to drift in and problems
arose.''
Vandalism, theft, drug sales, drinking,
and gambling resulted and the area soon
''took on the atmosphere of a pool room
with all it's associated hustles, Jones
believes.
He said several assaults, some of which
are still tied up in the courts, may have

been one result of the pool table area.
These problems culminated last spring
with the arrival of what college officials
alledge were pimps and their prostitutes
operating out of vans in the parking lots.
According to Security Chief, Hap
Stanley, the area had become source of
complaints and bad publicity. "LCC is
supported by public levies and we just
can't have that kind of bad reputation in
the community," Stanley continued. The
tables remained closed until their removal
at the beginning of Summer Term.
Jones has outlines several changes that '
will be made to prevent the lounge from
becoming " another pool hall."
The lounge will be separated from the
snack-bar by a "clearly defined barrier,
perhaps a wall or half-wall."
Pool balls will be checked out on a time
basis, and only to those with student-body
cards.
The lounge will be supervised by Jones
and members of the Student Govenment.
Jones hopes ·that by adding carpeting
and lounge chairs a "cool" atmosphere of
rest and relaxation can be created.

radio station's financial situation.
After learning that LCC will soon
discontinue the kind of support it has
provided in the past, KLCC-FM, which
operates from facilities here on campus,
decided it -had to begin raising the funds
itself to fill the gap. The staff has already
started to do just that with a $10,000
Marathon earlier this year, and although
the effort was succesful, and their
listenership doubled, there is still a deficit
in funds to be made up.
This means that more marathon's will be
held in the future, or the station will have
to seek more grant money, which implies
more controls on programming.
About 34 per cent of KLCC's present
budget is paid for through the Corporation
of Public Broadcasting, which is a
non-profit organization founded in 1967 by
President Lyndon Johnson. The corporation collects funds and disperses them to
stations across the nation.
The rest of the station's budget is
currently provided by the college, "but not
for long,'' says Lichty. ''They will continue
to supply the rent, janitorial service,
telephone, and other things they have in
the past, but we have to pick up the slack."
College-supplies salaries for KLCC staff
members will be discontinued. But in
order to continue receiving funds from the
C.P.B., the station is required to maintain

five full time employees. Six additional
persons are on part-time salary. The rest
of KLCC's personnel are volunteers. So
Lichty says fund raising must go, in part,
for payroll.
Some of the other requirements of
C.P.B. is that the station be on the air 18
bours a day, 365 days a year, and one half
of the daily program should pertain to
cultural, educational, or public affairs
programs of some kind.
These restrictions are compatible with
the present format of KLCC. If, however,
the station is forced to resort to other less
agreeable sources for money, such as the
Ford Foundation or Exxon, the programming may not be as nice as it is now.
Therefore, Lichty feels that it is the
community itself that the station will have
to turn to for support.

Code-A-Phon e
will now inform

hunter, fisherman

The Department of Fish and Wildlife's
self-service Code-A-Phone has been .
expanded to include fishipg and hunting
information as well as coastal recreational
activities and inland dam counts. The
information will be geared toward the
weekend sportsman in accordance with the
season of the year.
The Code-A-Phone was set up by the
Oregon Fish Commission prior to its
merger with the Wildlife Commission to
provide the .public with information on
clam tides, fish runs, and other information
and is now expanded to cover a wider
range of subjects.
The recorded message is updated on
Thursdays and may be heard 24 hours a
day by dialing 229-5222. .
Timely items of interest to the sportsman
such as hunting and fishing openings,
closings, weather and road conditions,
hunter and angler success, permit application deadlines, and other information
will be included. Coastal information will
be highlighted during the summer months
and at other times when conditions
warrant. ,Regulations and Fish and
Wildlife Commission decisions may also be
commented on when appropriate.

Stenography students
face stiff criteria
Twenty-eight students are enrolled in
court stenography at LCC, yet the
possibility exists that none of them will
become court stenographers.
According to Liz Inloes, one of the
instructors, only one in a hundred students
may ever qualify to become court reporters.
To qualify, a student must pass a federal
examination and attain a level of 200 words
per minute. He is then awarded a
certificate of proficiency.
This certificate is the job ticket for the
•
prospective court reporter.
The course is in its third year at LCC and
is offered through the Adult Education
Department. Students are required to rent
or buy their own stenotype machine so they
may practice at home. According to Inloes,
three to four hours of daily practice are
necessary in order to attain the level of 200
words per minute.
The course begins with basic theory on
the use of the stenotype, a machine which
has twenty keys based on phonetics_. Once
the basic theory has been learned, speed
building is worked on.
Students that do not reach the level of
200 words per minute may find jobs other
than in the court room.

The SFE program is a very special one.
The coordinator of the program, Mike

its kind on the west coast, in fact, in
thirteen western states. What's so
different about it is that nursing students
are actually in the field, performing
valuable functions in the community, and
they are working without being overseen
by staff instructors. RNs (Registered
Nurses) function as resource people and as

Hoggan, the students are a step above

According to Roger McAlister, the
finished product is worth much more than
the lumber which would be cut from the

worth about $600,'' says McAlister, ''but
as a sculpture, it's worth about $6,000."
In an allotted space between the
Air-Tech and Auto-Deisel Tech buildings,
Bruce Dean hammered and chiseled on the
16 foot log, using such tools as chain saws,
grinders, wooden mallets, and chisels.

Working from a small scale model of the
piece, Dean began carving the log while it
lay in a horizontal position, and later,
utilizing a block and tackle pulley system,
hoisted the log into a vertical stance, where
he finished it.

'' I began to wonder after I started,
(while looking at that one-anc;l-a-half ton
log) if I had gotten in over my head,'' say_s
Dean.
In whittling it down a few hundred
pounds, Dean spent a great deal of his time
cleaning up after himself. ''I spent an hour
a day cleaning up sawdust.''
Dean conceived the idea for the price in
his sculpture class at the U of O under the
instruction of Jon Zach. Although the log
turned out somewhat different from the
original model, Dean is satisfed with his
creation, and the Bicentennial Dedication
is an additional lift.
''The dedication is an added honor that I
wasn't counting on, " Dean says, "I was
surprised at the favorable reaction to the
donation.''
The work of art is Dean's first attempt at
sculpture.
"It was definitely a challenge," he says,
"I had never done a piece of large scale
sculpture before."

Paraden tal adopts
emergen cy system
by Dave Jurgenson
A dental emergency on Oct. 20 involving
an LCC student from Micronesia who had a
toothache, was finally resolved Oct. 28 by a
simple dental appointment--b ut in the
process a new system for handling
emergencies was clarified.
Douglas White, head of the Paradental/Paramedical Department explains that
the delay in the treatment of the
Micronesian student was attributed to
''lack of communication. '' He reports that
his department was not informed from
appropriate sources about an existing
emergency dental fund. He explains that
his department had made not plans to
serve the LCC student body this year in an
emergency dental capacity--primarily due
to a lack of funding. White acknowled~es _
that his main priorities are in fulfilling the
needs of his instructors and students, who
make up the Paradental/Par amedical
training program. Only after these needs
are met can his department redirect their
energies to helping LCC students.
But since 1971, the ASLCC Student
Senate has allocated some $2,800 yearly to
an emergency dental fund for students
attending LCC. The fund is incorporated
into the Student Health Services budget
directed by Laura Oswalt, who allocates

A dental emergency as defined by
Oswalt is "any LCC student in pain from a

The Micronesian student was told that
an appointment was necessary in order to

The fate of one million potential
forest-related jobs will be determined by
government fiscal policies and public
attitudes toward timber management
programs, says a recent Forest Service
publication.
The publication, which relates forestbased employment directly to timber
production, shows that a 59 per cent
increase in timber production is possible
within the National Forests. The publication predicts that, through greater utilization of the timber producing capabilities of
the National Forests, as many as one
million workers could be added to the
forest-based labor force by 1984.
But the publication emphasizes that
significant National Forest timber production increases are dependent on the
replacement of old-growth timber with
more productive new-growth timber, and
on increased government funding for
timber management programs.
The publication, "Environmental Program For The Future, A Long Term
Forestry Plan," notes that the policy of
replacing old-growth timber with new
growth timber is controversial because
old-growth timber is regarded by many
people as possessing an aesthetic quality
which they feel compe_n sates for its
reduced timber producing capacity. The
publication also points out that fund
allocations for timber management programs "are established in an annual cycle
of agency. departmental, executive, and
congressional budget reviews and approvals."

West's report indicates that 19 of Lane's

that 235 are women.
Schafer said it has been hard to improve
these figures for the past few years
because of a low turnover in instructors.
The Board directed West to keep them
informed on the school's compliance with

Food Co-op: pay money; or work
by Russell Kaiser
In 1970, a group of students from the
University of Oregon decided to do
something about the rising price of food
and the diminishing quality of such.
The students began by purchasing a
small grocery store on the corner of 22nd
and Emerald, in Eugene. Thus, the initial
steps were taken in starting the Willamette
Peoples Food Co-'.)p.
The food co-op is a place where people
can come in and purchase natural, mostly
organic, and mostly locally grown merchandise at reduced rates. One has the

agrees with the publication in the aspect
th~!t the number of forest-based jobs is
related to timber productivity. He also
believes that. even if old-growth timber is
not replaced by new-growth, some increase
in timber productivity can be achieved
through programs which encompass actions such as reforesting non-productive
acres and full management of pre-commercial stands of timber. Phillips notes
that addition;il government funding would
be needed to intensify of implement these
timber management programs. But he
says that past requests for increased
funding for such programs have been
turned down.

official. docs not foresee an increase in
funding for timber management programs

option of paying for the food outright or
working in the store in exchange for food
vouchers, redeemable for food, or other
merchandise. You can sign up for one of
four shifts daily, each lasting two hours.
Customers bring their own containers,
package their own food and mark their own
prices. all of these factors contributing to
lower prices for the consumer. The co-op
gets some of their food from other
businesses in and around Eugene, all
working collectively to assist people in
getting a better price for their food dollar.
The Golden Temple Bakery, Sprout City
and the Springfield Creamery all contribute to the cause by selling foods in bulk in
.the co-op.
With virtually no advertising, the
Willametter Peoples Co-op relies on word
of mouth and a good reputation for offering
quality goods at reduced rates. Merchandise in the store ranges from wooden
combs and shampoo to peanut butter in 55
gallon drums.
All of the food items are marked so that
the buyer can distinguish between organically grown and commercially grown
merchandise. They maintain a bulletin
board of happenings in the area and also a
library for their customers.
The Willamette Peoples Co-op invites
everyone to participate or simply to shop at
22nd and Emerald. They are open from ten
until six, Monday thru Saturday:~

Striders fifth ID the nation
By Don Sinclair

a laid-back dude
SportSinews is getting easier to write. My reading audience is giving me
feedback about what it likes to read, so consequently I've met some interesting
personalities. One of the delightful people I've interviewed this year is Mark
Charles Thomas ("Charley") Morehead, a sophomore from Grants Pass High
School.
The informal name of Charley fits the tall (6' 4''.) blonde-haired, handsome
new Titan who played part of last season with Spokare Community College. He
didn't like playing in Spokane, more succinctly, he didn't like NOT playing, so he
quit the team. But he's set some goals for this year, is a sure starter for the
Titans, and will be instrumental in Lane's success, according to basketball coach
Dale Bates.
Charley is one of those gifted athletes that everyone likes to have on their
team. He was All-league in high school basketball and participated in the
State-Metro game in 1974. That same year he high-jumped six feet nine inches,
and was named the Most Valuable Player on the track team while also being
awarded All-State honors.
•
But Charley never told me all this, he just said, "I didn't like high school much
until my senior year and then I had a pretty good time."
As you can see, he's a pretty laid-back dude.
Titan basketball didn't successfully recruit a big man to replace the
now-departed Robbie Smith, so Charley is being asked to play inside--where the
intensity and physical roughness don't really mesh with his easy-going
philosophy.
Coach Bates and Charley are both faced with the same diJemma--Charley's
quick and can handle the ball exceptionally well for a player his age (19), and it
would be nice to have him playing at a wing position ... but first you have to get
the ball: Teams usually get the ball most often via the rebound, so Charley's
high jumping ability can help the Titan's get some 'bounds.
He's probably the best rebounder on the team, with great reaction and coil he
can play consistently above the rim. His quickness should help him block off the
defensive boards a little better when he acclimates to Titan style of play. So
should his overall defense. He relies on his physical attributes more than good
positioning right now, but I see him improving nearly every practice.
His teammates rely on him more than he realizes. In recent evaluations made
by each player on himself and alrother team members, everyone ranked Charley
in the top ten--everyone but Charley himself.
As I watched practice, I saw him float through a scrimmage without much
hassel until the play got ragged. Then Charley came alive.
\
He doesn't want to play losing basketball so he started directing the play from
his center position. He told me later he really doesn't like the idea of being a
self-appointed floor captain, but I think that's exactly what his teammates need
from him.

.JI

Stand up--Mark Charles Thomas Morehead

I asked him what he really liked about LCC. "I reall_y like the guys on this
team," he stressed, "they treat me right and I like to be around them. People
really make the difference. Uke 1 I've really learned a lot this year (about
personal relationships), especially about my relationship with my folks.
Spending nine months away from Mom and Dad and being way up in Spokane
last year really made me value the time I have to spend with my family."
Charley's focal point is getting along with people. But I think that Charley
may be selling his talents and his teammates short, no pun intended. His. talent
and style make him the kind of player you'd pick out of a warm-up drill as a
His arms seem to be
starter, without ever having seen him previously.
fantastically long as he reaches up and around a defender to lay the ball up
softly. His legs move like fluid grace up and down the court and yet tighten, coil
and drive him up over the rilJI at his leisure. His passes are crisp and accurate.
And if anything, he dishes off perhaps a little too much.
Sounds like just what a team needs if it hasn't got a big man, right?
Well, the team could hope for more. I don't think Charley has his goals set
quite high enough. I think that Lane should expect Charley to be the defensive
leader on the team. By nature of his central floor position on defense and his
basketball talent and savvy, he, more than anyone else is capable of handling
that responsibility. Somebody's got to do it if the Titans are going to be a
winner.
And if you're going to be laid back, it's always better to lay back with a
winning smile on your face.

. Missing fourth place by just one point,
the Titan Cross Country Striders did
capture fifth place in the National JC
Championships last Saturday in Rochester,
Minnesota.
John Miller led the Titans in by finishing
19th, followed by Glen Owen, 35, Bill
Sharp, 45, Dave, Martin, 65, and Mike
-McGriff, 91, as the Titans bettered its sixth

place finish last year. In the five times the
Titans have competed nationally, they have
never placed further out than seventh.
Miller, by finishing in the first 25, was
named to the All-American JC Cross
Country Team, which by the way, had five
members from Southwestern Michigan,
the team that won the meet with an almost
unbelievable score of 39.
