__.,, I Jy Sue Nelson Max Gano, feature editor for the TORCH, is undecided as to the field he wishes to enter. His current choices are journalism, music, photography, audio engineering, law and - dentistry. He holds a special interest and concern for each field, but he says his appeal for dentistry lies in the fact that he would "like to get back at a few certain people." Besides overseeing the feature page for the TORCH Max is starting a cultural page this week, in which he will do reviews and a cultural calendar. He hopes to get feedback from TORCH readers about his new page. "I was born in Eugene at the Sacred Heart Hospital on December 29 at 2:00 a.m. Unfortunately, I missed Christmas that year, but I was a birthday present to my father. Since his birthday is December 30, they had a day to get me in shape.'' He says the year in which he was born is a "military secret." Max attended LCC off and on during the past two years, but says he's now become serious about education , and this is his first "actual term." Besides taking journalism classes and majoring in pre-law, he is currently enrolled in Performing Arts Department where he studies music theory. His present plans are to attend LCC again next year. Just talking and being with people is what Max enjoys most.

Well we didn't all sleep through Tuesday, as would seem most likely; we have simply gone through a few changes. Like everyone else , we are constantly in search of lower cost with greater efficiency . . One of the limiting factors for the TORCH so far this year has been our decreased SPAF allocation and the increase in printing costs from the Springfield News, where we have been printing. This caused us to look at the paper in terms of what we couldn't do , instead of what we could. So we searched for and found a printing company, Newsprinters Inc., that could provide quality service at lower prices. This is the first issue to be printed by Newsprinters. Also, the TORCH staff felt that we could be more efficient if we could do our production (design and layout) on Tuesdays instead of Mondays, so we have changed our publication day to Wednesdays. We feel that these moves will insure a better quality newspaper, and we hope this Tueday's withdrawels for all the TORCH junkies wasn't too bad. photo by Don Pe1Ty LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE ~ovember 19, 1975 page' 2- • Ashlane tenants may get rent refunds by Cris Clark Present and former student tenants at ASH Lane Apartments in Springfield have been doling money into a government Escrow account which may eventually be returned to the renters. According to an Oregon Student Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) staff researcher, there is over $10,000 in Escrow from LCC and U of O Adult Student Housing (ASH Lane) rental overcharges which have been accumulating since July 1, 1974. 1. 1974. ASH operates Ashlane housing expressly for the students attending LCC and the U of O although neither institution has any financial or operational responsibility to the project. Roger Auerbach, who obtained that figure from Sept. 1975 calculations of Harold Stevens of the Area council Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developing (HUD), says that the present tenants of Springfield's ASH Lane are still feeding the surplus account. The July 1, 1974 decision to put the overcbarges in Escrow was a HUD determination. It was based on the audit performed by that department beginning in 1972, which culminated in the recent Oct. 31, 1975 indictment of two ASH employees for alleged fraud. The ASH principals, Fred H. Bender and Phillip A. McLennan, according to the HUD audit, illegally raised the rent at LCC's ASH Lane facilities: ''That money is still going into Escrow,'' says Auerbach, '' at the rate of seven dollars a month for one-bedroom units and eight dollars a month for two and three bedroom units." At present, OSPIRG is attempting to get HUD to take firm action on rebating the overcharges to the involved tenants. ' 'Past practices show that HUD doesn't deal with having to locate all the tenants who were in the projects at the time, or with determining what rebate each tenant will receive," says Auerbach. Auerbach also announced that not only is OSPIRG urging tenants to participate in ASH/HUD negotiations, but is asking present tenants to do leg work to find past tenants, and to identify those who occupied any of the ASH projects at the time of the overcharges. To initiate this action, Auerbach sent out a Monday, Nov. 17 memorandum to aII local levels of OSPIRG, which suggests to them to organize groups of present ASH tenants. Auerbach hopes "this action will aid in expedient location of past tenants, rather than waiting until the government finalizes penal action, which could take wer a year. ''That way HUD--has no excuse for not rebating the money,'' says Auerbach. ''We want HUD to come up with the money.'' But according to HU:Q official Harold Stevens, no official determination has yet been made that the profit gained from the alleged overcharges resulted from fraud. Says Stevens, ''If we determine that ASH unjustifiedly overcharged the rent, then the money may be taken out of Escrow.'' In addition to halting action for the lack of official determination, HUD is also concerned with the effect any decisions would have on public attitude toward the ASH principals, and the consequent effect on the fairness of their trial. ''There probably will be no determination until after the trial,'' says Stevens. When asked if HUD would consider the HUD auditors' recommendation to change ASH's management procedures, Stevens replied, "My recommendations have been sent to the HUD central office, but I am not at liberty to discuss what they were." Stevens conceded that it was speculation on his part that any charges will come about in the organization of ASH. '' ASH is a corporation which will still exist after this incident," Stevens says, ''but ASH may not be in existence in college housing with this departmtr.t.'' ihe Bender/McLennan case is set to go to trial during the first week of March m Portland, says U.S. Attorney Mark Blackman. The indictment submitted by the U.S. Attorney's office in Portland, is charging the principals with eight counts of fraudulent actions. Count one accuses the principals of conspiracy to defraud the (cont. on page. 5) Gov. Straub criticizes food stamp program at OAB conference by Russell Linebarger ''I don't think I'm in favor of students getting Food Stamps," says Governor Bob Straub. The Governor, in town Friday to speak at the Oregon Association of Broadcaster (OAB) says that the current Food Stamp Program '' allows people with too much money to get Food Stamps.'' Straub replied to an inquiry by Len Wassom, President of the ASLCC Student Senate. Wassom wants to provide a Food Stamp Program for Community College Students. Straub says ''people •working: have to pay to support other people in coIIege and I don't think it is fair." The Governor further stated that: ''I saw where there were 4300 people earning over $18,000 a year that were on Food Stamps." "Here in Oregon you can ear over $900 a month and be on Food Stamps," says the thirty-first Governor of, the state. Discussing other state financial problems, Straub thinks there "should be an 'initiative measure' to get a new tax base." The measure would help align school budget woes, by getting "all the school budgets up to a current tax base,'' according to Straub. The Governor had stated in his speech to the OAB, that he felt his role was listening and responding to the needs of the average citizen. He pointed-out that according to a recent Harris Poll, most Americans don't trust: doctors, educators, or politicians. Straub says he wants to put back confidence into the American people by exercising "open government" and developing better services for the public. As a part of his own effort, the Governor instituted a program in May, to get Oregon people off Welfare and back to work. He assigned two staff members to each of the state' s 44 Welfare offices to help in finding jobs for Welfare clients. The offices were responsible for placing 600 people a month in jobs, beginning in May. The program has employed 2,700 persons since that time. The Governor pointed-out that the program saved taxpayers $550,000. He says that programs such as these help restore "public faith in leadership," which is his goal in ''taking the Government back to the people.'' Mushrooms get you high or put you under by Crunch McAllister the hallucinogenic mushrooms are out in quanity this year, according to every interviewed collector who has sought them. There are also a •myriad of magical mushroom munchers out seeking the small vision producing fungi. With the rains of fall, millions of these reputedly mystical mushrooms hoist themselves up from green pasture roots to fruit in the autumn season. They are not alone. Several other families of agarics lalso occupy the •'magical'' mushroom niche. One of these genera produces the mortal magic of death. Hopefully everyone out picking is aware of the fact that one of Oregons two lethal mushrooms is growing in close approxima- ---:war----wi~--- ticn and looks similar to their quested treasure. • This is the Galerina mushrooms; one of the known lethal basidiomycetex in Oregon, according to Freeman Rowe, General Biology professor at LCC. Rowe states that ''Twenty galerinas, the same number as a dose for a Psilocybe experience will more then likely bring a consumer to his last trip." He emphatically says th,d although advancements have been made in Europe, no totally effective anti-toxin had been discovered. In the majority of reported cases of Galerina poising, fatality was the end result, Rowe warns. If you are one of the many who are seeking a high by ingesting Psilocybes, take the time to observ~ the display of photos and information i~ the Sci~nce building on campus. It depicts Galennas and other poisonous fungi. The exhibit might save you the pains of .a t least a belly ache and perhaps your life. As a wisened mycologist from Washington once said,' 'The only differentiation betwen varieties of fungi is the distinctions the hunters mind makes." Rowe also dispells the rumor- that heart worms enter the human body through the process of consuming Psilocybin mush- rooms. Heart worms are predominately found in horses and dogs but no cases of that nature have been found in this locale. The human body isn't a suitable host for this parasite. One warning Rowe adds is the possibility of contacting tetanus while foraging through an open pasture. The_ tetanus bacterium is particularly associated with horse manure. Fortunately it is an anarobic bacteria that can -only be transmitted through an open cut. If you do have open wounds on your hands, yo_u should not fondle horse manure. If you're truly concerned, get a booster. Finally we come to the question of Jegality. Rowe states that the I.aw concerning Psilocybin mushrooms is frightening." It is a class B felony for possesion, cultivation, transportation, administration and or dispensing the Psilocybin mushroom. A judge has two choices with an offender. One is a maximum $5,000 fine and one year in jail. The other is a maximum $2,500 fine and ten years in the state prison. In practice however, apparently- no cases have been prosecuted in Lane County for violation of Psilocybin governing laws. page , - -. . . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - U w/4 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - November 19, 1975 Sco uting isn 't easy By Arthur Hoppe Scouting Isn't Easy Due to the changing role of men in our society, the Boy Scouts ·of America are offering a new merit badge for mastering the craft of shopping at a supermarket. It's about time someone did. The initial problem is finding adequate instructors. Take Scoutmaster Homer T. Pettibone of Wolf Pack Troop 37. "Men, you are about to embark on an exciting voyage of discovery,'' said Pettibone, briefing the brave little band outside the Jolly Jiant U-Sav. "And if you ever discover where they keep the eggs , please let me know .. " Now first, you must select a shopping cart. The one you take will always have a defective wheel which will cause it, during critical maneuvers , to fly sideways. Believe me, we hate to send kids like you out in crates like that. But should you knock over the stuffed-pimento display, the rules require you to pile it back up again. Unless no one saw you. '' Do you have your Discovery Lists, men? Fine. Let me give you some hints. The first item is rice. Rice is a cereal, right? So look for the section labeled 'cereals.' You can eliminate that dection straight off. Dear Sir: I like the name "TORCH".

Vets information day proves helpful ~- The LCC Veterans Club and the LCC Vetera ns Office s ponsered a Veterans Information Day Friday to answer veterans que stions about benefits, job opportunities and claims. This is the third year LCC has hosted a veterans information day. Wayne Gripp, LCC Veterans Administration representative said that the response this year was not as great as last year's. He said that most of the questions he answered were about home loans, as well as educational benefits and medical and dental benefits. Marty Lien, from the County Office of Veterans Service, said that most of the questions asked him were also about home loans. "People, after they've been out (of the military) for three years, finally decide to ask some questions," said Lien. They get the nesting instinct, he explained, and decide to buy a home. After he explains the problems of home buying, many people change their mind. Lien's office, a county organization, also helps veterans and their dependants trace benefits. The Oregon National Guard was on hand to inform veterans of its programs , such as the 1-on-1 program where a man or woman can join the guard for one year on a trial basis. Captain Kruysman and Sergeant McDonald, who represented the National Guard, also answered some questions about the "Uniform Code of Military -Justice" and the Guards ' role in Oregon Fred Davis from the National Alliance of Businessmen was on hand to provide information about what employment fields are open and growing, primarily in irrigation and agribusiness. Davis answered many questions pertaining to on the job training possibilities. Programs for disabled vets have been so successful, he said, that there are a couple of opportunities open right now. David W. Lloyd, a Disabled Veterans National Officer, says the 80 per cent of his organizations employees are Vietnam Veterans. Lloyd says that the main purpose of his office is to serve the veteran in his affairs with the VA , as changing benefits, locating checks and initiating claims. Most of his questions were about compensation. Monty King and Ray Davis were present representing the American Legion Post #3. Davis said that most people wanted to know what the Legion stood for--Davis said the Legion is there to serve veterans, their families and the community , although it doesn't confine its help to members only.

Mangis said ·his office is well known for their home loan program . He also pointed out their state educational aid program. Mangis said that there were a few disability claims filed through the Disabled Vets National Office and the County Office of Vets Service, but most people just wanted information about the various agencies and what they could do for veterans. The most common questions asked were about home loans. , G Qlng • "b ra "I eSS h rt h may U your S ape THE CURRENT REVIVAL OF GOING-BRALESS MAY BE COMFORTABLE BUT IT IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO WOMEN SINCE THE INVENTION OF THE STEEL CORSET. Dr. Reuven K. Snyderman of Cornell University has much to say on the matter. He states that those women who are big breasted or tend to sag should be prepared to pay the steepest price. The simple medical fact is that without the added support of a bra, the breast ligaments-- those fragile fibers that hold the bust erect--gradually weaken , giving breasts a flat, pendulous almost pancake-like appearance , and once this has happened, no amount of arm, chest or back exercises can restore a woman's breasts to their former shape. they are completely muscleless. Chances are if she is averaged-sized, the difference between her and the bra-wearer will be noticeable by age 30. And if she is big-breasted, with say a bra size of 36C or D, the differences will be dramatic. Plastic surgery is about the only effective way to restore shape and that is only temporary , and will have to be re-done in three to five years. Underwire push-up bras are harmful, too, as well as ill-fitting bras. And if, in spite of everything, you still insist on going braless , at least be sure to include a lot of tight, clingy body stockings to provide a small measure of support. Think also of the Island women seen so often in magazines and movies. That in itself ought to make you take to the bra again in spite of the current fashion.

This was half of last year's turnout. Following the elections held last Tool thefts reduced By Paul Holbrook The incidence of tool theft in the Art and Applied Design and Mechanics Departments is noticably lower this year, according to Department chairmen Roger McAlister and Howard Dull. McAlister said tool losses in his department ran dose to $900 last year, while Mechanics Department Chairman Dull said his department lost $2500 in stolen tools, "plus another $2500 lost in damaged equipment and facilities." Both men ascribe the lower theft rate, this year to changes made over the summer in their respective departments. In the Art and Applied Design Depart- ment the change took the form of a building remodeling in which all power and hand tools were relocated behind a locked screen. This was done for safety as well as to curtail theft. According to McAlister, students who want to use the power tools have to be "checked out" by an instructor, to make sure they know how to use the tools properly. Students not enrolled in art classes are not allowed in the tool cage. This is done in order to stop both theft and misuse of equipment. Dull feels that one of the main obstacles to controling theft is the fact that so many keys to LCC buildings are issued. He said some of these keys invaribly wind up in the wrong hands. '' Most of our thefts have occured after school hours," Dull said, "with people break_ing in using stolen or duplicated keys.'' The Mechanics Department has come up with new regulations designed to curb theft and equipment damage. Under these new regulations, students need written authorization to use an area and instructors approval to use the tools. Also, no unauthroized people are allowed in ·the shop buildings and security people periodically walk through the shops checking for written authorization. According to Dull, security people now have the authority to challenge and remove those without authorization. This, he feels has been insturmental in checking tool theft. Another new regulation prohibits people not enrolled in mechanics classes from coming in and using department tools and facilities to fix their autos, etc. This was formerly a major cause .of equipment abuse, says Dull. Wednesday and Thursday, the ASLCC Board of Tellers, (Ed Ruiz, Jack Bicksler, Mark Poprawa, Alene M. Hall, Al January, Richard C. Weber), met and counted the ballots cast by the 201 student voters. Both ballot measures passed and Ken Pelikan won as Senator at Large. Ballot measure 1 established that the ASLCC should set aside their cash carryover for use in building and furnishing a student union area. Ballot measure 2 expressed support for retaining the Interdisciplinary Studies Department. (There has been recent information that the department will be absorbed into the Language Arts and Social Science Departments. See TORCH, November 4) Ruthea Tidball, Geanei Walton, Len Wassom, Sheila Miller, and Steven Pruitt were elected to the OSPIRG local board. Other results reported by the ASLCC Board of Tellers say that Linda Plumlee was elected the senator for the business department, Manuel Vasquez represents the Flight Tech. Department, Sam Tadlock for the Mass Communication Department, Jim Frank for the Mechanics Department, and Mark Koons for the Performing Arts Department. Judy Weller will represent Social Science, Richard Metzger the Science Department, Ed Ruiz for the Health and P.E. Department, and Debbie Anderson for the Interdisciplinary Studies Department. Sue Ness, Max Gano, and Doug Cheney are tied for the Art Department, each person received one vote. Mike Astley and Richard Prince with one vote a piece are also tied for the Electronics Department. Doug Cheney and Cindy Hill tied with one vote a piece, for the Language Ats Department Doug Cheney, Bob Swanson, and Bill Temple each with one vote tied for tne Math Department.

Check with the Student Government for the place. All poll watchers and counters were paid $2.50 per hour for their time. ECC asked to . clarify role By G. Dennis Gene Fisher chairman of the State Board of Education, wants to know if the Educational Coordination -Commh,sion 's (ECC) role is control or coordination of Oregon education. The ECC, a seven member board of non-educators, appointed by the governor on July 1, 1975, was given a primary roll to study and recommend action on various programs in the state's educational institutions, then to report any disagreements to the governor and the legislature. Fisher raised this question in reference to the ECC's request that the Board of Education and the State Board of Higher Education delay certification of new programs for 90 days. The ECC wanted time to set down their criteria reviewing new programs. The Board of Education reviews all new community college programing according to community need, and duplication (if another college in the area is offering the same program). They then either certify or reject the program. Now the ECC will also be reviewing program requests. If the ECC should decide against certification of the program, the only recoarse for the college is to appeal the decision to the governor, according to ECC board member Edith Maddron. Fisher said the ECC reviewing new program requests is "duplicating the Board of Education's investigative responsibility for community colleges ...this could jeopardize both local control and curriculum initiative.'' Fisher pointed out that one of the main reasons for establishing the ECC was to prevent an.d stop dupli.cat~on of programs it is wasteful. He feels that is jus( what they are domg -- duphcatmg the re~pons1b1htes of the Board. Fisher says that the ECC is "overplaying its role of checking the Board of Education." ECC members told Fisher that they had no intention of controlling community colleges. Fisher said that they told him that they want to work in cooperation with the Boards of Education and Higher Education. But Fisher says that the threat of the ECC disallowing new programing is where the EC<;' s pote~tial control of community college programing comes into the picture. Fisher pomted out that there are good people on the commission, but he feels that "they are foundering." He feels that the ECC is concerning itself almost exclusively with community colleges. Fisher did ad~it that there is an area for the ECC in long range planning in all aspects of Oregon education, but right now he ,feels that they are being too picky. Forestry Club to promote interaction by Todd Johnstone The LCC Forestry Club hopes to promote social interaction and learning among Forest Technology students and serve as a mediator between groups with conflicting views of proper forest management, says Don Freeman. Freeman·, president of the newlyorganized club that has approximately 80 members, says that a primary function of the club will be to give Forest Technology students a chance to get to know each other and a chance to exchange views on forest related topics in general. The club plans to publish a newsletter to keep its members informed. Freeman feels that the club has the potential to promote learning among students by expanding discussions of classroom topics and by introducing topics for student discussion that would not be introduced in the classroom. Freeman visualizes the club as taking an active role in mediating conflicts between groups with different views of proper forest management. He says he would like input from interested people about the idea of the club as a mediator. The club is considering taking part in timber fairs and is considering putting a booth at the logging convention to be held in Eugene this winter. Club members feel that these actions will give beneficial exposure to the Forest Technology Program. In light of the social orientation of the club, Freeman says, "The only thing that we've decided so far, is that we are going to have a kegger."

Tr.acking yo-,tp;l~que "People just standing around brushing their teeth,'' Judy Blue pointed to the unshaven, Jong-haired man by the sink, "you see a lot of that around here." Ms Blue is the clinic instructor in the Paradental Department and I was over to see what goes on when one gets his/her teeth cleaned. Jt's a good story. I went through the program. There's no waiting. They take care of you now or they'll give you a time to come back. The sophomores, all women, handle the receptionist duties on a rotating schedule, with 15 doing the clinical work, ·and five handling reception and administrative jobs. They are personally pretty . professionally neat and have a kind of enthusiastic childness about them which exudes trust.. For the first time ever, I didn't get petrified in a dentist's chair. I' was just concluding the interview with Ms. Blue and had realized I had been sold Jn the program of dental hygiene in the ::ommunity college. Any person, that's tight, any person, who thinks they may have dirty teeth or gums, can avail themselves of the paradental services. And the dirtier your teeth are, the happier they are to see you. They didn't want me very bad . . . I had to con my way in so I could write their story. has a pretty good idea anyway. She'll clean your teeth awhile, take a break and get a toothbrush and show you good brushing technique. Or perhaps she'll get you a free roll of floss and show you how to do that. Then back to the cleaning and educating processes and the next break, you get to practice what you've learned. If you can't get the floss in between you teeth, you may have what they call an by Don Sinclair Judy Blue The most impressive part of this program is the paradental education. Home care, is what they call it, and they taught me how to brush my teeth. I thought I knew how to brush, but I was just banging my fangs. They showed me a soft way of brushing that is actually sensuous . . . I mean it . . . for the first time in my life, I really got off on brushing my teeth. Ms. Blue sounded a little melodramatic when she told me that plaque, a mat of bacteria which excretes an acid, is the number one enemy of a dental hygienist. She said, ''The goal of a hygienist is to not only remove that plaque from the teeth and gums, but to be able to show anyone how to keep from ever having dental cleansing again." She said, "People just don't have to get caries (cavities). We've all been told in the past that, 'You probably didn't have. flouride in the water,' or, 'Your family has soft teeth,' in explaining why we get .caries. That is not so. Once you learn how to really clean your teeth and practice these home care procedures, you'll never have to pay another dentist's bill for new fillings.'' - You start with an evaluation, just like I did. I didn't have to fill out a bunch of forms, I was almost instantly whisked into · the evaluation chair by Kathy, a smiling whisp of a girl _who read off the condition of each tooth to her instructress. Kathy said, "You've got a couple of small pockets, but you're in good shape pretfy much. I'd say a one.two, which means' that you're in number one shape above the gum and number two_under the gum on a sliding scale of five.'' " Thank you," said I. "When can I get them cleaned?" "Well, you're not really what we're looking for," she explained, "what we really need are patients that need much more difficult work to be done.'' "I can't get an appointment?" "When will you come in?" she asked. "Tuesdays and Thursdays are my best days." "I'll go sign you up," she says and she's got me . . . a neat ploy. "We're open 1 Tuesdays 10-12 a.m. and 2-5 p.m. Thursdays 9-12 a.m. and 1-4 p.m .... take your choice." The fee was $6.00 in advance. The charge in a dentist's office ranges from $15 • to $30 in Eugene. The paradental service is easily one of the best bargains left in our inflated economy. I don't know what I expected when I went there but what I got was beautiful. A little later than the appointed time, I arrived to see Marti, my hygienist, smiling anxiously because of my tardiness. A ygienist has a captive audience when she's cleaning your teeth at her station and he'll inquire as to your dental habits and you might as well be truthful because she : @"' ' "• ;½i~ "overhang", and this feature excites the hygienists. I had several overhangs and consented to allow other students to work on the removal thereof after Marti, my appointed hygienist had gotten to remove one. lnstructo .. s and/ or dentists check the work of each student and the two dentists are moving around the room handling a variety of consultive sessions with both the students and patients. Both dentists also teach related courses to the students in their rigorous curriculum. Dr. Clint Nelson is the supervisor and teaches the 'expanded duties' which include Anesthesiology (alleviation of pain) and Pharmacology (action of a drug on the body). Dr. Charles Wright teaches Periodontics (care and treatment of the supporting structures of the teeth, for example, the gums). Both are pleasant professional men to be around. They practice what they preach. They take care of their own bodies by working out on the track or squash courts on a. regular noontime basis and they look it. I've finished the first of my two sessions scheduled for the paradental clinic. It took about two hours and was not boring in any way. The experience was educational, healthy, invigorating and pleasant. I got to watch the beautiful hygienist working .behind me through the mirror they let you. use and that mirror also satisfied an old curiosity of mine of finding out what they really did in my mouth while I was in the chair. Time is a very important consideration for both the patient and the student. Ms. Blue said that in order for a student to get credit for working on a patient, the student must complete the total regimen of treatment on that patient and that may require up to 12 hours of work in divided sessions. But like the money, the time is · well spent. The more time your teeth require, the more education you require and the more you get for your $6.00. After the hygienist graduates, the employment rate is usually 100 per cent, and they can expect to make between $35 and $75 per day, depending on job and location. The field is open to both men and women but at LCC only one male is currently enrolled in the two year program which is about average. Only 20 students are accepted out of about 200 applicants and the class size usually remains stable. They are accepted primarily on GPA and results from an apptitude test, though personality and dexterity are also criteria. It would seem the hygienstts are working in a self-defeating job ... they are cleaning teeth and educating people in such a way that they will never come back. But there are many people at LCC, in Eugene, and on the earth, to provide patients for the few select graduates that complete the two year program each spring from paradental programs throughout the nation. ~~::;~'/tar·~~,., photos by Rex Ruckert I ~; November 19, 1 9 7 5 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - t J " v Q 1_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ pagee Inflation hits SPAF money users Swedish massage, a scientific method leading to relaxation by Paul Mast "If I've had an especially hectic dav at school, a massage soon puts that all behind and leaves me relaxed. More relaxed than taking a drink or smoking a joint.'' These words, spoken by an LCC student, are his reactions to a Swedish Massage, a course offered by the Adult Education Department. Swedish massage is a scientific massage, based on a systematized knowledge of the human anatomy. The course involves the study of anatomy and physiology, techniques and therapy of massage, and hydrotherapy (treatment of disease by water). Massage is utilized in hospitals, health spas, training rooms, beauty salons, and barber shops, According to "Massage, Manipulation and Traction" by Sidney Light, physiological benefits of a massage are: improvement of circulation and movement of blood, reduction of swelling and hardening of tissues, more rapid elimination of waste, and soothing of central nervous system. Its most beneficial application is on parts of the body which can not be exercised normally due to injury or paralysis. - The course which presently has 40 students enrolled , is taught by Candy Thompson and Thurmon Petty. Thompson, who was a massage student herself two years ago and is now a certified masseuse, believes the popularity of the course fits in to the back-to-nature movement. According to Thompson, massage is a natural way of assuaging tension and pain. In order to be compensated for their services, a masseuse must pass a state board of examination which then certifies them. According to Thompson, the 2½ hour exam deals extensively with human anatomy, and unless a student has previous medical training they will need more preparation than the 90 hours offered at Lane which is described as a '' crash course". Thompson says, for massage to be applied scientifically and effectively, a good working knowledge of the human body and its parts, their structure, and movement must be mastered. by Karen Hiedeman The 1975-76 SPAF (Special Program and Activity Fund) budget has a revenue of $121,000 •· some users felt it was not enough. The revenue is divided into four groups ,of users: ASLCC $45,000; Health Services $38,000; Atheletics $29,100; and the TORCH $7,800. The remainder, $1,600, is left in• contingency. The division of the SPAF revenue is decided by the SPAF Committee, which is made up of three students and three faculty members with Jay Joens, Director of Student Activities, as Chairman. This year the SPAF Committee set new levels on requests from the users. The new level made it possible for the users to use the last year's budget as a minimum for a new request. According to Carol Tedder, secretary for Health Services, they felt they needed $41,338 due to "realistic increases in staff and supplies.'' The amount they received was approximately $3,00 short of that amount. ''We hope to generate sufficient fees to bridge the gap, that's why we raised our clinic fees." Along with generating fees Health Services receives approximately $38,110 from the general fund, which comes from taxes, state reinbursenient, and tuition. Laura Oswalt, director of Health Services, says "We feel the SPAF Committe is made up of dedicated students and staff members who work ong hard hons to allocate fairly the funds available." Len W assom, student body president, says they requested $51,801 and though they didn't receive this amount he feels they are doing all right this year.'' He says '' ASLCC could be doing better, but is ar from defunct.'' The TORCH asked for and received $7,800, $500.00 less than last year. Mike McLain, editor of the TORCH, gives as reason for this "We knew that SPAF was going to have money troubles because of fnflation and greater needs of other SPAF users and limited number of students." ''Hopefully this sh~rtage won't effect Ashlane refund (cont. from pg. 1) United States; Counts two through five are based on an architect's report submitted to HUD by the ASH employees which the U.S. Attorney's office c~>ntends was not accurate and did not properly represent ASH's intentions, therefore being in violation of a federal statute which prohibits any submission of false statements to the U.S. in order to influence any government agency. In this case the agency in question is HUD. Counts six through eight are based on allegedly fraudulent cost certifications which the ASH principals submitted to HUD, upon which HUD relied to make money authorizations through the U.S. Department of Treasury. These last three counts are derrived from a general federal statute' governing false statements.

He says if he did receive a larger budget he would be able to replace some equipment and produce a better paper. "I feel somewhat now restricted because we are not generating the advertising revenuw we need." Half of the TORCH's budget depends on advertising sales. The TORCH also generated $200.00 this year b_y selling iDuck Dope to LCC students, the proceeds going to a writers scholarship fund. 'According to McLain they have not received anything from the generl!l fund. . Athletics received approximately $6,000 less than what they requested from SPAF. $29,000 was the amount they did receive. "We expected everything to go up, but the money didn't." says Bob Radcliff, Atheletics Director. He feels the SPAF budget didnt go up in proportion to the increases in the eost of gas, oil, rooms, meals, and referees. He describes the atheletics budget as "totally inadequate.".

Radcliff says, ''I hope all SPAF users and the SPAF Committee will be able to arrive to an adequate budget for all in the future." Sources of the SPAF revenue are, student body fese, bookstore reimbursement, vending machines and this year they had a cash carry-over of $10,000. According to John Carter, Dean of Students, the SPAF Committee is preparing a proposal to increase the SPAF revenue: Chairman of the SPAF Committee, Jay Jones, says the only plan being considered at this time would be to raise the student body fees. This is the $5 fee the students now pay at registration. If this proposal is accepted it would not become effective until the 76/77 school year. Jay Jones says other possibilities are being researched. Jack Carter, who has not seen the proposal yet, realizes the need for more SPAF revenue. He says there is ''indication from the users that some increase will be necessary if they are to maintain the level of their •programs and services.'' v~- November 19, 1975 page J--------------- People generally have only very limited contact with most of the political, economic or philosophical groups that fall outside the accepted social norms. We feel that people should have a chance to explore some of these groups in more detail; to see the erganizations from the inside, to study motives, goals, and methods, to make their own decisions about them, but to at least have an OPTION. Without acting in the role of advocate, the TORCH will do a running series on some of these organizations. Next week the OPTIONS page will explain the working and ideas behind the communist party in this area. The Managed Conflict The Great Conspiracy and the John Birch Society story and photos /Jy Scot Stuart Red Necks, White Sox and Blue Ribbon Beer. Hard hats and bellies over the belt buckle. A picture of George Wallace on the mande and an arsenal In the basement. A paranoid posse at midnight. Images, spawned by my own prejudices, formed In my mind. I was alone and on my way to a meeting of the John Birch Society. Soon, my stereotypes would be challenged and I would be made to wonder: Who Is right and what Is left? "It seems, doesn't it, ladies and gentelmen, that I am talking about a conspiracy. That I'm saying that there are people in our government who want to establish a dictatorship. That's a pretty severe and sensational claim and I'm·aware of it." The speaker is William Mcllhany II, 24 y~ar old .graduate of Washington & _Lee University in Virginia, a member of the John Btrch Soctety and lecturer for the American Opinion Speakers Bureau. Mcllhany, who has a BA in history, gave a lecture on Monday, Nov. 10 at the Eugene Hotel. . . "I guess that the first question that should occur to many of you commg h~re t!tts evening is 'Just how in the world did a nice guy like this end up with an awful subJect like this to talk about.' '' Mcllhany explained that when he entered college in 1969, he assumed that, in historical events large and small, influential individuals, to a great extent, expect logical consequences from their actions. Mcllhany said he thought this was reasonable to apply when writing history papers. But he soon found that if he superimposed this intentional or moral deduction about history, he ran into enshrined orthodoxy. Mcllhany was told, that his refusal to accept ''The preponderant majority of professional opinion in the field was unacceptable and that if he went to graduate school talking about a conspiratorial view of history, he wmdd be crucified.'' Finding an area where there was no academic freedom, he convinced himself to dig deeper. While explaining his theory of a Conspirational View of History, he asked himself and audience several questions: *What is a Conspiracy? *Who is Conspiring? *Are there Managed Conflicts? *Are Wars Managed Conflicts? *Is there historical evidence in the past and in recent events to prove the theory? Mcllhany defines a conspiracy as two or more people working together in secret, or without advertising, in pursuing their objectives, which most of us would define as evil, harmful, or destructive by common standards of morality. A conspiracy need not have physical trappings such as membership cards or a headquarters, he emphasized, and though members of a conspiracy are working towards a common goal, they may not be acting with the same motives. Mcllhany said that it is an axiomatic presuposition, when talking about conspiracies, that the individuals involved are acting out of free will and are morally responsible for what they do. To find out who is conspiring, Mcllhany looks to the philosophy of Aristotle, who says that for any event there is 1.) The formal cause, or the total event, 2.) the Material cause or that which is effected by the event 3.) the efficient cause, or that which initiates the action (and in a conspiracy has the moral responsibility) and 4.) the Final cause, or the motive. Mcilhany chose an historical event dealing with the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Mississippi to illustrate. Mcilhany describes them as "The most violent and secretive of approximately 14 Klan groups that existed during the 1960's. He alledged that they were responsible for the triple murder of Schwarner, Goodman, and Chaney in Philadelphia, Mississippi in June 1964. Schwarner: Goodman, and Chaney were killed by several members of the Klan group, he claimed, who were '' Simply irrational, emotional, racists who were scared, frightened, and actually thought their state was being invaded by people alien to their beliefs and traditions from the North, and they were emotionally driven to the conviction that this was the only way to fight back.'' Mcllhany says that this was not, however, the motive for the murders. The man who actually ordered the murders and made sure they were carried out, claimed Mcllhany, was The Imperial Wizard, Sam Holloway Bowers Jr., whom Mcllhany says admitted formally that his purpose was to create as much racial violence and hatred in the state as was necessary to justify federal control and bring martial law over the state of Mississippi. And so, Mcllhany claims in this event we see the Formal Cause, the Murders, the Material Cause, the men who were murdered, the Efficient Cause, the Klan members who carried out the murders, and Final Cause, the true motive as stated by the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. The Imperial Wizard made clear his motives, said Mcllhany, because he was an admitted member of the Communist Party. Mcllhany calls this type of action a "Managed Conflict" and points· out another example. In a 1965 article in Saturday Review, Martin Luther King admitted that his purpose was to create problems and turmoil that would justify federal action and legislation. Mcllhany claims both of these intentions resulted in the same goal of legislation in 1964, '65, and ',68 that drastically increased federal government control over economic and personal values in our lives. Mcllhany went on to say that when we talk about Managed Conflicts caused by agents IISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIISSSSSiSiiii o PT provocatuer--such as the Leader of the KKK or even federal agencies like the Office of Economic opportunity who admitted that their programs in Harlem only added to racial conflict, we are not talking about an accidental stupid policy. We are talking about something that, at least since the end of World War II has been officially stated as a worldwide communist strategy. The plan, says Mcllhany, quoting from a book entitled, "How Parliament Can Play a Part in the Revolutionary Transition to Socialism, and the Roll of the Popular Masses,'' is for agitators or activists, who are party to this communist conspiracy, to cause problems amongst the people; to form agitation among the people for some sort of change, so that members of the conspiracy who have infiltrated positions in government could propose solutions to these problems, many of which are real, but have been inflamed and encouraged. The solution, Mcllhany warned, would always result in more power being turned over to a rapidly increasing police state. Mcllhany pointed out many contemporary issues and problems that he claims fit this pattern. An obvious Issue, he believes, is the Increase In crime across the nation which has been encouraged by a reduction in sentencing, Increase in paroles, plea bargaining, attacks against the death penalty and greater prison reform. As a result, the public response is that the police are incapable of handling the situation. ''We are told over the media and by our government that our local police are underpaid, understaffed; they don't have sufficient resources and equipment to solve the problem,'' Mcllhany said. So as a result, they must have some sort of federal assistance. In 1968, the government passed into law the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which, among other things, established a new executive department called the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). Along with the Ford Foundation'_s Police Foundation, the LEAA financed a program of subsidizing local police departments. across the nation: This, says John Bircher Mcllhany, brings with it the same sort of administrative controls and authority over the local police departments that we have found resulting in our local schools as a biproduct of federal aid. Mcilhany told the audience that we know from history that it is impossible to form a totalitarian dictatorship without a Gestapo or National police force. The John Birch Society, he said, is the only organization that is exposing this new federal agency as an insipient national police force. "A massive federal police beauracracy is being built," said ·Mcllhany, who cited the government's spending approximately 2.6 billion dollars last year for a national police force as proof. This figure does not include the budget for the CIA, he reminded the listeners; nor the budget of the National Security Agency, or any other intelligence-gathering branches of the Defense Department. Increased bombing and terrorism, mostly controlled by the Communist Trl-centlnental Network In Havana, Cuba, working closely with the Palastlne Uberatlon Organization [PW], provides more excuses for a fascist police state over as all, he said, providing more eumples. A wave of skyjackings, many of which were conducted by the PLO, and other Communist organizations resulted in federal police control of security at municipal airports, and the "humiliating and degrading of your Fourth Ammendment rights to be secure in your person, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures," he stated. He said none of this would have been tolerated, suggested, or put into practice if there hadn't been some skyjackings as an excuse. Another problem used as a "managed conflict," according to Mcllhany, is the drug problem. The government's response was the no-knock law, which was part of the Omnibus Crime CoJ}trol Act. ''Isn't it interesting,'' asked Mcllhany, ''that the same administration that was going to break into your home without a search warrant, was warming up to establishing friendly relations with, and only making it all the more easier for communist Chinese agents to get the drugs into this country?" According to Mcllhany, fully 80 per cent of opium derivative drugs coming into this country come from Communist China, which has as a policy the manufacturing and distribution of opium-based dr~gs for subversive and financial purposes. "The most obvious, the most blatant example of this sort of problem that we face today, taking the many examples of lawlessness and violent crime, is assassination. Assassination attempts, which collectivist conspirators have almost a monopoly in initiating [are used] as an excuse for the total, obscene deprivation of your rights--which is called Gun Control," Mcllhany says. The most important issue, Mcilhany believes, is that the men who wrote the Constitution of the United States and founded this country, held that you have a right to own anything that you have earned, regardless of what it is. If it can be owned without involuntarily harming someone else, you have a right to own it, says Mcllhany. There is nothing more essential to the establishing of a fascist police state than a monopoly of weapons in the hands of the state, Mcllhany believes. Our economic problems, says Mcllhany are a series of managed conflicts. We have in this country, he says, 71 million people involuntarily paying taxes, with 80 million living off those taxes. We have an economic depression, double-digit inflation and deficit spending. The government's solution has been, and will be, wage-and-price-controls which result in shortages. According to Mcllhany, shortages bring about further government control by rationing. Mcllhany believes that our economic problems of the last 18 months are due to mistakes made in 1972-73. According to his own mathematical projections, in the next 18 months we can look forward to four times greater inflation than we are experiencing now. All of these conditions of crime and violence, inflation and depression, are leading tc a riO N s ice of racial about I as a ~lay a s," is lems o that opose l and - - - - - - - page II November 19, 1975 _ _ ,,n,,ss,,,ssss,nssss ,ss,,ssss,csssn time of massive discontent, when conditions will be ripe for agitators to go into the streets to urge us all to take up arms and take what is ours. There has to be an excuse for people to respond to that sort of plea, and, according to Mcllhany, the deliberate intended destruction of our economy and other managed conflicts are providing just that excuse.

Paranoia, usually just a bobby of mine, bad now become a full time Job.] '' 'The uncovering of Watergate prevented the destruction of a lot of people and institutions and prevented a perpetual presidency,' " said Mcilhany, quoting Jeb Stuart McGrueder in an Oct. 23 Los Angeles Times story. To Mcllhany, a perpetual presidency means a monarchy, or dictatorship. He said he assumes that there are people in our government who are interested in some sort of foreign totalitarian ideology. Mcllhany quoted Barry Goldwater-from another newspaper story: '' 'Soviet spies have infiltrated every major industry and business in the United States as well as congressional committees and seven to nine senate offices.' " Mcllhany also quoted Goldwater from a TV interview. Goldwater stated that " 'I don't know why anybody would be shocked at this because Red Spying in this country is so fantastically larger than anything that we do that there is no way to talk about it.' According to Mcllhany, Goldwater said that he got his information about the infiltration of U.S. Senate offices from Vice-President Rockefeller, whose CIA commission allegedly uncovered this fact but did not include it in its final report. Mcllhany quoted Rockefeller as saying, " 'I could only print what I was allowed to print.' " Mcilhany asked, "H someone like Nelson Rockefeller Is engqed In a conspiracy that involves destroying the American Economy, Isn't he catting his own throat?" Mcllhany says that Rockefeller's motive Is not more money, bat power and Influence over what other people do. Mcllhany gave the example of a bank that gives a loan to a man whom It doesn't believe can pay It back because the bank wants to foreclose on his property. In the same manner, said the John Bircher, Nelson RockefeHer and others like him will gamble a corporate empire because they are Interested In foreclosing on 118 all. Mcllhany stated that the same strategy can be applied to a worldwide scale. He said that there are events that affect people on a worldwide basis, such as famines, plagues and draughts. But the most common is War. "Since at least 1914, the documentary archival materials are very clear in revealing that collectivist conspirators in and out of government, and primarily in the government of the United States and the major nations of the world, have been responsible for traitoring diplomatic clashed and confrontations which served as justification for world wars," Mcllhany claimed. He said that in the case of World War I, American's contrived entry was caused by one collectivist conspirator, Col. Edward Mandel House, who was President Woodrow Wilson's Henry Kissenger, and also an admitted Marxist. Mcllhany reminded the audience that "Governments go to war and then force you to participate." The motive for entering the war, according to Mcllhany, was an excuse to form a world government, an organization that would serve the pretext of preventing wars In the future. This organization was called the League of Nations, which fallecl, said Mcllhany, because the United States dkln't Join. Mcllhany explained that the conspirator's only alternative was still another war. "In 1917, a group of collectivist conspirators, primarily In ancl controlling the government of the United States and the leadership of the Morgan-Rocllefeller banking crowd on Wall Street, financed, directed and gaarenteed the success of, supported and put In power a criminal gang, staging a coup In one city of Petrograd, Russia. It was called the Bolshevik Revolution," said Mcllhany. He said he got the proof from documents In the Hoover Institute. "It Is not a matter of opinion," Mcllhany assured his audience. After this event, he said, World Communism had a base to operate from. It could stimulate and encourage totalitarian police states across the world. According to Mcllhany, the Communists helped establish the Fascist Party in Germany because it would provide the basis for another war, which Stalin believed would be beneficial in spreading Communism throughout the world. It worked well, Mcllhany said. The war was more devestating than ever before. After it was over, the official policy of the US government helped spread world communism throughout the world. It also provided an excuse for America's entry into the United Nations, an organization, according to Mcllhany, that was founded entirely by members of the Council on Foreign Relations, many of whom were identified Communist agents operating in our government. Mcllhany believes that the U.N. was designed to provide a framework for world government. He stated that it hasn't worked, but the basis for a world government is being made right now. He said that communism Itself has served as an excuse for more government and an excuse for entering Into both the Korean War ~d the War in Vietnam, and that both were planned from the start as losing wars. He pointed out Henry Kissinger's strategy in the Near East, and predicted that we will soon have what appears to be a near-nuclear war, which will serve as another excuse at forming a world-governing body which will act as a police state over us all. Mcllhany assumes that there are people in our government who are interested in bringing about a merger between our government and the communist's. He quoted a man named Rowan Gaether, who, in 1952 was president of the Ford foundation's fund for the Republic. Gaether was asked then, why the fund was financing radical activities. Gaether was quoted by Mcllhany as saying, ''Most of us here were, at one time or H £7~ another, active either in the OSS (the forerunner of the CIA), the State Department, or the European Economic Administration. During those times, and without exception, we operated under directives issued by the White House, the substance of which (was) to.the effect that we were to make every effort to so alter life in the United States as to make possible a comfortable merger with the Soviet Union. We are continuing to be guided by just such objectives.'' Mcilhany said, "This policy is evident in President Ford's five year economic exchange plan with the Soviet Union.'' We will keep the Communist Salve House in power by making loans to them at interest rates that YOU can't get, using your money to do so, so they can turn around and go in debt to buy enough of our wheat to raise food prices in our country and put American agriculture workers out of work,'' explains Mcllhany. "This is part of the formal merger being announced over five years. Something that was quite well columnized and made official by the disgraceful and abscene sanctioning of all of Soviet Russia's post war military conquests and police state installments over Eastern Europe which President Ford officially sanctioned and recognized at the Helsinki conference,'' says Mcllhany. Mcllhany asked the audience If this conspiracy is a recent thing. His answer was, "No." He traced the roots of this conspiracy back to the Order of the fflu.minatl, which was established on May 1, 1776 in Bavaria. This group's goals were the cfestruction of all political and religious institutions. out of this chaos, it would produce a solution: A worldwide police state, control of personal freedom and wealth in its hands or the hands of its successors. The ffluminatti became the League of the Just Men, which, Mcllhany claimed, hired Karl Man: to write the "Communist Manifesto." When the Manifesto was published, the League of the Just changed its name to the Communist Party--and, Mcllhany said, other revolutionary organizations as well as the Mafia can be traced back to the Illuminatti. He said that the Nazi party that sprang up in Germany in the 1930's was a direct continuation of the Illuminatti. Mcllhany believes that the highest level of the Third Reich were motivated by a satanic, diabolic religious motivation, which was different from the motivation of the people who carried out their plan. He told the listeners he gets his information from the book, "The Occult and the Third Reich." He also mentions "The Crux of a Conspiracy'' by John Robison as a primary source of historical background, as well as "World Revolution and Secret Societies and Subversive Movements" by Nestor Webster. • Mcllhany goes on to say that the concept of a conspiracy.in high government places is becoming commonplace and is no longer an obsession that people like members of the John Birch Society have a monoply over. "It's all too obvious to everyone," exclaimed Mcilhany. "The John Birch Society doesn't have to worry about proving a conspiracy--the evidence is available for any sincere questioning mind to study," he claimed. Mcllhany told the group that it had some important things- to do in order to stop some immediate programs in this country that are installing a police state over us: To oppose any attempt to confiscate or exercise control over anything we own, especially guns. To Support your Local Police, but to prevent federal police control over local police forces. To get the United States out of the United Nations and the United Nations out of the United States in order to frustrate and turn back and destroy 50 years of this conspiracy's progress. To work towards lowering taxes that are being used against us to support programs in our own government that are working towards this conspiracy. Mcilhany concluded, ''Ladies &nd gentlemen, are there any of you here tonight who mean business in wanting to be part of a moral and proper solution to restoring freedom to this country, exposing and destroying this conspiracy? If you are interested in getting in on the winning months of the battle and becoming a part of a moral and proper solution to these threats, then I would say, ladies and gentlemen, that you have no alternative, and I would say yQu have a moral obligation to get involved with us now in the John Birch Society.'' The audience stood and applauded. I found myslef clapping as well. This conspiracy, which, only a few hours before I would have called the product of a paranoid delusion, was now very real to me. I had to know more. I walked up to Jim Potted, chapter leader of the John Birch Society, and asked him about the society and what it stood for. He told me that the Birchers were not a political organization, but an educational organization. The Birchers sponsor speakers such as William McDbany, show movies, distribute literature, run bookstores and conduct letter-writing campaigns. Each member follows the dictates of his own conscious as to which issues he or she is involved with. Potterf said, '' 'A better world' that's our motto." As I walked out into the cold Eugene night, I found myself glancing over my shoulder ... for what? Is there really a conspiracy or is this just an example of "The Big Lie?" Would my smug liberal objectivity return? Who is right? What is left? Will time reveal it? £)~-- ------ ------ -- November 19, 1975 page, '1 younq,q1fteb anb slack ' opens lanes buama season by Linda Jackson Angel Reid photos by Jeff Hayden Have you ever wondered what it's like to be black? Perhaps Director George Lauris' latest Performing Arts Department production, "To be Young, Gifted and ·Black," can provide some insight into this important American community that is still misunderstood. The play which opens this Friday (Nov. 21) in the Performing Arts Theatre was adapted by Robert Nemiroff and is basically the story of Lorraine Hansberry and her work as a black playwright. General admission is $2.50, and tickets are still available for opening night. The play will run November 21,22,28,29 and 30, and wiH begin at 8 p.m. each evening. The cast consists of seven performers: Prudence Brown, Nella Geisert, Sue Greig, Lisa McCarthy, Angel Reid, Roger Reid, and Time Winters -- four of them black and three white. Each member has an equal amount of importance in the play. David Sherman, scene designer for the Performing Arts Department, is in charge of sets and lighting. '' Although the play speaks mainly for blacks it is not a political forum," stresses Lauris. "It is simply a communication of ideas.'' Prudence, a white member of the cast, says she receives the same message: ''Hansberry illustrates that life is a series of impressions," she states, "and it's your decision which of these impressions you want to incorporate into your life." The past 10 years have provided changes in attitudes towards the black community, but racism and discrimination still exist. Most of the cast members feel that it is more subtle in Eugene than elsewhere. "In Chicago you know how whites feel about you." says Angel Reid, a native of that city. "They're right up front with you. In Eugene the racism is definite, but it's more subtle. Sometimes I get confused because I don't know where people are coming from." For many audience members the play will promote a better understanding of what it means to be black. '' 'To be Young Gifted and Black'' allows whites in Eugene ·j:9 take a peek into the black community'' says Lisa McCarthy. ''Lorraine Hains berry has a message !o all of us about human tragedy. She allows us to laugh--and cry--about it." Prudence Brown says ''the play has definitly increased my awareness" (of the black" community). "I've found that a lot of people are afraid of it," the black community. The production is not only a statement about being black, but is a theatrical statement as well. There have been very few plays in the community where black performers have been selected to play significant roles, and even fewer black plays. "To by Young, Gifted and Black" is LCC's first major black production; the only other black play, "No Place to be Somebody," was performed at the University of Oregon last summer. "Being black in America is unique," feels Roger Reid, a black member of the cast and a playwright himself. "It is necessary to relate this unique experience through black theatre, not only to blacks, but -to the white community as well; not in terms of a convenient view of their (white) ·ideals, but in terms of realism." Roger feels this realism is an important factor for social change. Though the play deals with blacks trying to make it in a white society, racial ·George Lauris. tension appears to be non-existent among the performers. "The cast gets along really good," says Angel, ''and I think our director has a lot to do with that." ''We are not trying to reinstate the violence and struggles ··of the sixties through'Young, Gifted and Black','' repeats George Laur.is. Although Lorraine Hansberry was at one time active in the Civil Rights Movement, her feeling on racial change is reflected in peaceful presentation of human spirit, '' a celebration of life,'' as the director puts it. The production is a far cry from a violent statement, but, says Lisa McCarthy, ''.t here are still a lot of things that need to be said."

For one dollar and the gas it takes to drive to the Rodeway Inn on 1-5 and Beltline, students can hear and see some of the world's greatest Traditional Jazz musicians, plus jamm sessions featuring local musicians who aren't bad in their own right. Since the program is held in the Inn's ballroom, drinks are available if you're 21 or older, and those of you who are under age can drink too. Soft drinks and coffee that is. The shows. are well worth the money. The energy is high and the feet are tapping as these masters take you back in years to show you why jazz is still alive today. Dixieland rubs elbows with Chicago blues and 'Frisco jazz in a rollicking sound that's bound to make you happy; a good way to spend a rainy Sunday. Musicians can sign up at the door to be placed in a six-piece jamm band which will be interspersed with the Title band or musician. The Jazz Minors, a local band that will surprise you, is a regular feature of the shows. So if you want a change from the usual, and you find yourself with nothing to do, watch 1he "Goin ' Down Towne" calendar for the dates when these affairs will be happening.

American Primitive, a play by William Gibson which is being produced by Very Little Theater (VLT), 24th St. and Hilyard, explores the emotions, frustrations, and events which occured in John and Abigail Adams' life amidst a revolution. The plot concerns the endeavors of John Adams to organize the affairs of a young, struggling, and rather untogether group of new found politicians, diplo1!1ats, and military advisors; the First Congress of the Free States. Meanwhile, Abigail holds down the homefront, an interesting battle in itself. Building the dialogue around correspondences between the Adams', during their separation-due to the demands of war, these two charactors provide a candid view behind the domestic and political scene, sometimes hinting that the glory of war is seldom recognizable at the time of war. A unique play, it will run through the 22nd of November and tickets are available at the VLT box office.

Then, fifteen minutes into the second half, Carol Miller returned to the line-up to score the second goal and ·tie the score at 2-2. Oregon then scored two consecutive goals ~ith the same maneuver in which right wing Hanna Munson played far out in he r all ey, drawing Lane ' s defense out toward her.

Tuesday, Nov 18, Lane travels to South Eugene High School's Amazon Field to b att le the Oregon varsity in a no nconference scrimmage. According to Coach Dagget, the game is scheduled to help the team prepare for the Northwest College Women's Sports Association Hockey Tourney. Dagget said the tourney is the main team tournament of the season with ten JV teams gathering from as far away as Idaho. There are no winners and no trophies awarded, since it ' s consi d ered a very informal tourney, but it includes a banquet for the tourney members at the Chuck Wagon Friday night .

LCC: league leader - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~. page ii- , Z- DQ N SINCLAIR•s 8pottSi1/yvvS: Lane Community College is very quickly becoming a school , strong in both coaches and athletes of national caliber in the junior college category. Our society is caught by inflation and the very high price of entertainment, not to mention the higher price of products we all consider necessary' to survive. These two fragments have not yet reached out for one another . And at LCC the administrative segment which controls athletics is and has been reticent to really involve the comm unity in its program. The community has b een just as reluctant to accept LCC athletics because it knows little or nothing, other than what it reads in the papers: We can equate column inches of LCC sports news in the Register-Guard to the number of spectators found in t he stand of any given LCC sporting event. The st udent body at LCC has an apathet ic bu nch of in di vi du als, theoretically represented by a Senate elected by a small protion of its constituents. They haven't been able to help. We have all seen and heard feeble attempts to lift Lane's pack of apathy about the level of table letterers in our own cafeteria. But the apple cores outnumber the cheering corps. The very fact that a student body card will admit anyone free to any athletic event in which LCC participates has not reached many of the supposedly learned people at our "institution of higher learning ." An afternoon sitting on the lawn watching soccer or fie ld hockey players exhibit p artial mastery of their chosen art, has not reached the aesthetic interests of those who call themselves "the gifted ," here on our campus. But has the powerful Health and PE Department done all it can do? Wouldn 't the powerful athletic teams here at LCC be a terrific rallying point for both the student body and the community? Aren 't they or shouldn't these two be the same? Research as I can, I can't find any history of a fight song for the Titans, even though we 've had music classes here since the beginning. But it would be of little use becasue we don't and haven't had a pep band to play the nonexistant number anyhow. History that is very vague at best, says that we once had a rally squad, composed of two of the coaches wives and a couple of the athletes' girl friends. Health and PE courses cover everything from body building to gold, in which girls can enroll, buy why can't they, if they so desire, continue some of the cheerleading skills that rha~y girls learned in either junior high and/or high school? It's not like I'm saying that's the only PE class which women should take, I'm just asking, "Why can't it be offered?" Cheerleading is in intself a great athletic event and some of the rally squads I've seen show better team work than those for whom they are cheering. Lane Community College athletics seem to soak in their own lagoons. The student body always want to read about a winner here in the paper, but cusses ''those incompetent jocks'' when they're losers. The college administration wants the student body to sup~.r t , the program, but hasn't the innovation to be able to inform the community effectively. This is the impasse you are now reading about, and you can't do anything by yourself to change it, right? Well, you can all do something. If you're a musician, no matter what instrument you play, you might be able to organize the most original pep band in the nation (there ain't no law that says a pep band has to have seven trombones or anything like that). Or if you write music or lyrics , you might try writing a fight song ... or a peace song, for the Titans. You might be able to see just one game once in a while--that's better than none. You might be able to tell a friend what's happeing in sports here at LCC. You might be able to get together with some other folks and have a dynamite rally squad ... even if you are the wife or girlfriend of one of the athletes. Every time one person gets involved, by association, that person will expose three other people to LCC sports. Maybe all you can do is read the sports page and cuss at the jocks when they lose. Be that the case, the least you could do is pass the sports page on to another person and let him cuss too. Really, the TORCH sports page has more about LCC sports than any other outlet in the world. Use it. So, if a few people care, we might have a school like Southern Idaho that has winners. every year, and the student body has fun and entertainment for free ... or for just a little effort.
