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. He communicates through music, literature, and
photography.

"What happened to the TORCH yesterday?" you may have asked.
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.

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

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.

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". I don't feel
the choice is up to you to change it.

Sponges are more difficult. Sp_o nges are

decorative candl es. Ah , dry ye ast!
There's a challenge. It is permissible to
ask any clerk where the dry yeast is. They
won' t know either as it is always their first
day on the job.
' 'Bread is easy. The trick here is to take
the loaf in the back because they put the
day-old b read in the front except in
markets where they know you take the
bread in the back and therefore put the
fresh loaves in front . Got that ?
"You will notice that beach balls, ball
point pens and sneakers are not on your
lists . That's because it's impossible to
miss these items in a supermarket.
"Fine. You are now ready for the thrill
of checking out . Look for the Express Line
for customers with eight items or less. Ask
yourself, 'are five six-packs of root beer
one item, five items or thirty items?'
Because if you don't someone behind you
who is bigger than you are will . Loudly.
" But if there are eleven people in the
Express Line and only a man and a lady in
the line adj acent, take the short line. That
way you discover that t he man has
forgotten his check-cashing card, which
requires a wait for the manager, and the
lady has torn the food stamps out of her
book. The manager has now gone to lunch.
"But at least yoou have finally spotted
the briquets you wanted. They are ten feet
on the far side of the check-out counter.
Are you going to pick them up without
being arrested for shoplifting, men? Men?
Men?"

When Scoutmaster Pettibone at last
halted his fleeing troop, they voted
unanimously to abandon hope of earning a
supermarket merit badge.
"Maybe," suggested little Milton
Haberdash , "we could learn quantum
physics and sadomasochism instead.''

The TORCH received one suggestion for a
new name and this letter saying we should
remain the TORCH.
We haven't
committed ourselves to anything yet, so if
you have any feelings about the TORCH
changing its name or a new name
suggestion, please contact us in the Center
Building, room 206.

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.

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.

November 1975 issue of Community
College Health Services Newsletter, Dr. E.

ASLCC and OSPIRG elections

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

facilities to fix their autos, etc. This was
formerly a major cause .of equipment
abuse, says Dull.

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."

"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

"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.

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.

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

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.
A preliminary hearing for the determination of the defendants' pleas was held,
''Both McLennan and Bender have entered
'not guilty' pleas, " says Blackman.

with what we spend." says McLain. 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.". He says he may
have to reduce the number of games to be

unless something else can be worked out in
this area. 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.''

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

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.

'' '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?

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."

In an effort to promote good music and bring people together for a good time, the
Traditional Jazz Society of Oregon arranges for musicians from all over the nation to play
their music in the Eugene area.
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.

War is often more difficult on the family
than it is on the soldier; the war of 1776
was no different.
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.

Roche, who manned a voting

as a candidate and also as an election

By Kathy Downey
Even though Lane's women tie d the
score , 2-2 , in second half play , against the
Oregon JV 's , the U of O women went on to
win the hockey match 5-2.
Lane's first goal was scored at the end of
the first half by center Wanda Gregg, who
was temporaril y playing Crol Miller ' s
position to gain experience for the
Northwest Coll e -~ Wom e n ' s Sports
Association Tourney -- hosted by LCC this
weekend. ,
Coach Dagget said that she made a few
switches in personnel positions in order to
get several players experienced in several
positions, which will be necessary for the
Northwest tourn ament, the climatic event
of the season.
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. She then drove the ball back
into an inner who flipped it back to her and
she slipped in for the score.
But Coach Dagget said that Oregon's
fifth goal really hurt. According to Dagget,

relaxed , expecting to hear a referee ' s
whistle but in the following confusion ,
Oregon drove th e ball in deep behind
Lane 's half and fullbacks to score its fifth
goal. The referee denied the dangerous
hitting possibility and called it a legal goal.
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 .
Lane plays the College of Idaho and the

Saturday they tangle with the U of O JV' s

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.
