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." editor Mike McLain feature editor Max Gano associate editor Cris Clarke sports editor Don Sinclair news editor John Brooks photo editor Rex Ruckert advertising manager Kevin Harris . graphics David McKay Kevin Harris Wednesday 7:30 10:00 Welding Adv.

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. photo by Rex 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. ~,f p~e2 __________ __________ __ :EDITORIAL: ------------------ Ballot #1 SPAF Special Projects Fund Once again election time has arrived for the Associated Students of LCC and for the Ballot Mea~ure: OSPIRG local Board.

John Ranson Ruthea Tidball Stephen Miller Sheila Miller Steven Pruitt Michael Roche Len Wassom Geanie Walton 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.

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. by Paul Holbrood 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. Student lounge mt planning OSPIRG to elect five Election of the LCC OSPIRG local Board members will take place November 12 and 13 at the same time as the ASLCC elections. There are five positions open and presently eight candidates. Following the elections the new Board members will select from among their group a representative to serve on the State Board. According to Michael Roche, one of the candidates, there is a need for people to The attend the OSPIRG meetings. meetings are open and are held in the cafeteria every Thursday at 3 p.m. The State Board held it's second annual OSPIRG conference this last weekend in Portland and the meeting will be discussed at the Thursday's meeting. by Max Gano "It probably costs 65 to 70 thousand bucks to run this thing every year," estimated Tom Lichty, program director of KLCC, in an interview concerning this 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 Exotic Middle Eastern sandwich is Now served in the L.C.C. snack bar section.

The coordinator of the program, Mike -Hoggan, says that it is the only program of 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 Fied Faculty Members. According to Hoggan, the students are a step above Nurses' Aides; they function at a higher level of authority and responsibility. Student nurse Carol Guenzler spends her Friday mornings in the jail.

Donated sculpture to be dedicated (cont. from front cover) Products' Larry Douthit, of Springfield, through LCC Board member Steve Reid. According to Roger McAlister, the finished product is worth much more than the lumber which would be cut from the log. "In cut lumber, the log would be 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. The work which Dean put into his creation was all on donated time. "I began Located south of the Center Building is this· piece of art made totally of cast iron. A couple on July 15, and finished, much to my relief, of students and a canine friend enjoyed a ride on this heavy bit of expression recently on Sept. 16," says Dean, "on the day that I between cloudbursts. photo by Rex· had to be out." 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." --,----1 November 11, "975-----------------""'"""T Q1Z·______________________,._ page5 "" ' , '~~D~rn~ • u /4·.· ,•,,: n ii •. .:. . . ... • 'D ••, :·:· 0 -~ . : : College newspapers influence the buying habits of students College newspapers got high marks in a recent survey into the media and buying habits of today's college students.

Rich Buehrig, Veteran's Representative and one of the coordinators of the Information Day, says that the day will have a twofold purpose: to help veterans initiate claims, and to inform veterans of job opportunities and organizations that are oriented to the needs of vets. Among the organizations invited to send representatives are the Disabled American Veterans, the VFW , the American Legion, the National Guard , the Red Cross and teh VA Regional Portland Office. Also invited are Marty Lein from the County Veterans office and Chuck Long from the National Alliance of Businessmen.

Mitchell is a member of the Forest Technology Program's Elementary Surveying class, and he says that stakes put out for marking 'purposes by the class have been knocked down by operators of four-wheel-drive type vehicles. Mitchell says that he knows of 5 or 6 stakes which have been knocked out of place, and he says that if the positions of the marks have to be re-checked and the stakes are absent, ''It could result in 2 or 3 days more work, which is a lot of time when you could be using it to make 3 or 4 dollars an hour on another job." Members of the class expect to be working in the south parking lot area throughout . the term and are concerned with the possibility that disturbance of their work will continue. Class members did not offer solutions to the problem, but _ at least one member of the class felt that posting signs would be a waste of time because he felt that they would not be obeyed.

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.

Only after these needs are met can his department redirect their energies to helping LCC students.

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." t Jor h la n cl u c,a l)P c d by Nora Blackwood Crutches, wheelchairs and walkers are available to LCC handicapped students on a checkout basis, according to Tex Estes, president of Handicapped Student Association.

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.

Phillips notes that addition;il government funding would be needed to intensify of implement these timber management programs.

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.

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.
