A step toward an LCC bike path
Lane Community College students may
soon be pedaling to class.
If the State Highway Division approves,
construction could begin this spring on a
bikepath along Interstate 5, between
Franklin Boulevard and 30th Avenue.
The Metropolitan Bicycle Committee
(MBC) gave its approval to the plan
Wednesday after hearing a report on a
proposal to construct the 2 1/2-mile
bikepath with 92 per cent interstate
highway money and 8 per cent state
matching funds . .
For the most part committee members
were de1ighted, but they do point out that
they had to consider the potential use of
the route, where the majority of LCC
students live and who would use it.
Richard Moffett, Springfield Representative to the MBC feels the proposed bike
path would solve one-third of the Springfield bike path problem.
Transportation planner Ollie Snowden
said the proposal came about because the
highway division is undertaking a resurfacing, signing and lighting project along that
stretch of the freeway anyway, and the law
says that in order to obtain federal money
the state has to at least consider bike paths
in the project. The proposed bike path
would cost an estimated $300,000 to
$500,000, Snowden said.
Snowden expressed doubt that the route
would serve Springfiel5} residents wanting
to bicycle to LCC, and questioned whether
the 8 percent matching funds to be
provided by the state would be the most
effective use of the bike path budget.

But committee member Emily Sands
said that the proposed two-way route,
which would run along the southwest side
of 1-5, could also serve the Mt. Pisgah area
eventually, where bike paths are planned
at some time in the future.
A staff member pointed out the
advantage of the moderate grade the
freeway path would provide, in contrast to
the steep grade of 30th Avenue. Other
routes from east Eugene would have to
cross 30th to reach LCC, she said.
The proposed path would separate
bicyclists from automobile traffic by some
sort of a physical barrier, possibly a
concrete divider, Snowden said, adding
that culverts would be constructed to allow
cyclists to ride safely under off-ramps ar .
on-ramps to the freeway.
'' In our hearing process,'' said Ruth
Bascom, "it's always been emphasiz d
that we need a route to LCC. We never
considered this (a bikepath along the
freeway) because we thought it would be
impossible; we'd never have enough
money.
Mrs. Bascom said the state seems much
more willing to spend highway money
allocated for bike paths on state and
federal projects, rather than the on local
high-priority projects. "We're much more
likely to get funding for this, she said.
Another committee member said LCC

traffic as Valley River Center. Even

Nationa l student group ·l obbying
by Mike McLain

TORCH Sta ff

.

"Students in the U.S. have decided that
the only way to change the establishment is
by joining and eventually becoming the
establishment," says Clarissa Gilbert,
president of the United States National
Student Association [USNSA], prior to the
"Capital Lobbying 76" conference in
Washington D.C.
Gilbert is a graduate from New York's
Queens College history program and a
veteran of the rioting during the 1968
Democratic Convention in Chicago.
She feels the tactics employed by
students during this era were ineffective
and resulted mostly in "smashed heads."
She says students are learning that the
most effectiv_e way to change the system is
by working within it.
The way this is accomplished, she says,
is by doing what every other special
interes~ group including the major corporations ·have done for years; lobbying.

And so Wednesday evening Senator
Hubert Humphrey will kick off the first
annual NSA Capital Lobbying Conference
as keynote speaker during the first of the
five day meeting of an estimated 300
college representatives from across the
nation.
The · delegates will gather at the
International Inn in downtown Washington
D.C. to discuss federal legislation affecting
the nations 11 million students, the
mechanics behind effective participation in
the lobbying process for students and
organ.izational tactics for student lobbying
at the state level according to Gilbert.
Although the NSA has held 28 national
student conferences since it was founded in
1947, this will be the first meeting with
lobbying as the primary focus.
Gilbert explained that the NSA has been
informally lobbying for years. In fact they

U.L.

have been lobbying more than the Internal
Revenue Service felt was legal in order for
their group to retain its tax exempt status.
She said the IRS grants the C-3 tax exempt
status to any non profit group that doesn't
engage in a substantial amount of
lobbying" with the definition of substantial
as ''somewhere in the neighborhood of 5
per cent of total revenue being expended
for lobbying purposes.'' Over the past few
years the IRS has engaged the NSA in
several court battles in an attempt to jerk
its C-3 status she says. Gilbert feels that
Richard Nixon continually applied pressure
to the IRS to rescind the status from the
time he was elected President in 1968
when, she says, the NSA had the
distinction of being the first group in the
nation to call for his resignation.
The change in status has two major
effects on the NSA. First, it is no longer
eligible to apply to foundations for grants;
previously the group's major source of
intome. Now the group must rely on
membership dues for most of its $90,000
budget. This hurt the NSA, but Gilbert
explained that the 40 per cent growth this
past year has eased the pain. She
anributes the increased size of the
NSA, which presently has a membership of
near 500 colleges, to a change in the NSA's
tax status which allowed the •organization
to become a federally registered national
lobbying organization.
"Before, we could go up on the hill and
testify on issues only when we were
invited. Now we can go up whenever we
think an issue or a bill concerns us,''
explained another NSA officer.
When asked if a different president
might be more favorable to a C-3 status,
Gilbert stressed that "we don't want the
C-3 anymore. We'd rather be able to
lobby."
Another reason for the mid-year conference, she said, is to "allow for a certain
degree of continuity. When we held our
usual conference in August more people
can attend but they are usually just elected

" FO RU M- -Pres. Schafer on the budget

by Eldon Schafer, LCC President
About a sixth of Lane Community College's 1976-77 operating budget would be met
through the proposed property tax levy being placed before voters at the April 20 election.
Exact dollar figures won't be known until March 10 when the College Budget
Committee completes its job of reviewing the Administration's total budget proposal for
next year. Then the Board of Education will set the exact amount to go before voters.
A typical year's budget is made up of 46 per cent state and federal monies, 20 per cent
tuition and fees, and 34 per cent property taxes. Bond repayment and the tax base,
approved by voters previously, make up most of the latter. That leaves about a sixth of
the total operating budget subject to annual voting.
The Budget Committee is composed of the seven elected Board of Education members
and seven citizen volunteers appointed by them. The Committee began its work in
January with an Administration request that a $2.6 million levy be pJaced before voters.
The budget request accommodates a number of needs:
*It opens the door to a limited number of additional students. Full-time equivalent
(FTE) student enrollment would increase 4.5 per cent, from 7,314 this year to 7,633.
*It provides for modest expansion in technical-vocational programs. Long waiting lists
of students are seeking admission to such programs as auto mechanics, nursing, welding
and machine shop.
*Some additional supporl is allocated to remedial programs. More than a third of
students in credit programs in any year need help in mastering such basic· skills as
reading, writing and mathematics. These skills are mandatory for success in both
tech-voe and college parallel areas.
*Some $400,000 is provided for the purchase of such items as tech-voe teaching
equipment. This is the same amount as last year. Students need hands-on experience
with equipment of the type they'll use when employed.
*It provides for inflation-caused cuts in purchasing power. An 11 per cent increase is
.1pplied toward this year's expected 9 per cent loss, plus 2 per cent toward prior years'
losses.
*It takes into account possible reduced federal funding. Some 42 employees are now
paid through the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CET A). That
money runs out July l unless Congress acts to extend the program.
*It meets requirements of collective bargaining contracts. Labor contracts hold the
College to increases in faculty and classified salaries based on the Portland consumer
l'Ollege to increases in faculty and classified salaries based on the Portland Consumer
Price Index (CPI). We have an inescapable cost increase for salaries of at least 6.3 per
cent built into the budget.
*It provides that students pay their fair share of increased costs. The Board of
Education last month raised tuition in accord with its policy that students should pay
approximately 20 per cent of the cost of the college's operating budget. That increase,
the first in two years, is less than the sum of the inflation of 12 per cent two years ago,
11.3 per cent last year, and 7.6 per cent this year.
*It holds spending within the ability of the community to support LCC. The region
seems headed out of the recession; there is reason to be optimistic about improvements in
the economy.
*It takes into account a Board of Education directive to accelerate staff productivity at
all levels. Credit class size is being increased this year at least 9 per cent, staff
development funds are being channeled into projects that specifically improve efficiency,
development of courses that accommodate additional students without cost increases is
being expedited, and rapid refinement of fiscal control procedures is underway.

It was a good night for jazz. Spirits were high as the crowd shuffled into the EMU
Ballroom on the evening of March 3rd like so many well oiled sardines slipping into the
tightest space possible to make room for others still to come. There was a sprinkling of
grateful applause for the no smoking announcement and then the McCoy Tyner Sextet
walked onstage.
After the applause had died down Tyner began the concert with a floating dulcimer
solo: wood flutes and a rattling chain (the type used to tow cars with) gently touched on
rhythmic themes in the background.
At first there was a feeing of looseness between the musicians as they got used to the
stage and audience. This quickly changed as the dulcimer was exchanged by Tyner for a
,piano and the tempo quickened into what proved to be one of the fastest paced concerts
ever presented in the Ballroom.

Educational Coordinating Commission --a layer of fat?

by Michael Parry
LCC President Eldon Schafer claims thal
the (Oregon] Educational Coordinating
Commission [ECC] would exceed its
authority if it disapproves proposed new
community college programs for any
reason other than "unnecessary duplications," the exact words used in the 1975
law setting up the commission.
The commission is successor to a
previous council set up in 1966 to keep
track of federal educational funds coming
to Oregon, according to Schafer. Shortly
after World War II, as federal funding
increased dramatically, a parody of a
famous line of poetry was frequently
heard: . . . "If federal funds cometh can
controls be long after?" Is this "long
after?" And does the ECC represent those
controls here and now?
LCC's Gerald Rasmussen. dean of
Instructional Operation's Services, says
that so far the commission has no record
for administrators to go by. But he
expresses concern that the ECC could
become just one more approval body (a
rd
"layer of fat" in Schafer's wo s), to cause
delay in and possible control over proposed
new programs at LCC.
The fear that Schafer and Rasmussen
share is that the ECC might actually
influence or even enter into the process of
independent local development of programs. State Board of Education Chairman Gene Fisher, for example has
criticized the commission for giving too
much attention to the operation of the
community colleges. ECC Chairman,
Portland lawyer / lumberman G. Girard
(Jebby) Davidson, responds that the
commission must have all the facts to make
decisions.
"Here's a good example of the kind of
problem I can foresee,'' says Rasmus-

NSA-

sen: "Suppose we want to add a whole
new program to train mortuary science
technicians, it would go through our
process, go through the State Department
of Education ... (and) now (it) has to go to
the ECC. They do a study on it and they
could tell the State Department of
Education to approve it or not."
The 1975 law establishing the ECC
makes it the board of, final review for all
propose-d new and existing post-secondary
educational programs in Oregon--from
community college level through post
graduate studies, even including private
institutions which receive state or federal
funds. Under Oregon law all accredited
educational institutions can qualify for
receipt of state funds.
The ECC not only has the new power to
approve or disapprove new programs, but
also retains the function of the previous
council to '' assess budgetary priorities ... " (and) advise the Governor and
Legislature, according to the 1975 law.
Schafer says that the commission has no
control over existing programs. But he
admits that the commission is influential in
establishing, particularly through its chairman, whom he characterized as very
capable, very powerful person in Oregon
levels of funding for existing programs.
The Feb. 6 meeting of the commission
was the first meeting following a 90 day
moratorium requested by the commission
to prepare and adopt guidelines - '' Information Guidelines" - including review
procedures which were adopted at the
Jan. 16 meeting.
The guidelines require that four categories be considered in the process of
submitting new program proposals:
*Description and objectives
*Community and societal needs
*Duplication and impact on other institu-

student body officers. With this mid-year
conference most of the delegates who have
been involved for a while know the
issues.''
The NSA is still recovering from a rather
severe blow to its credibility when it was
discovered in 1967 that much of its funding
was from the Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA); channeled through several overseas
foundations.
"That's the first thing peple ask us,"
says Gary Kampe!, NSA vice president
"They say, you' re the group funded by the
CIA, right?' Well we told the CIA where to
stick its head back in 1967. But it's still a
standing joke around here whenever there
is a substitute mailman that he must be the
new CIA representative.''
"We are definitely having an effect on
legislation now," Gilbert affirmed. "We
were the chief lobbyist for the passage of
the Buckley Bill" (a bill limiting access to
student records by other than the student,
and granting freer access to the student).
'' And we also had an affect on the override
of President Ford's veto of the educational
bill recently."
"We choose our is·sues carefully," she
said, and expanded saying "We try to get
something for the student, and we usually
do."
The main concerns of students across the
national right now are tuition increases and
budget cut backs, she said. ''There are
more demonstrations right now against the
tuition increases than there were against
the Vietnam War a few years ago."
She doesn't see the trend of students
being more concerned with bread and
butter issues like tuition as opposed to
international politics, that received so

much attention not long ago, as being bad.
"But students should realize that there is
still a relationship between a large defense
budget and a lack of money for education.''
She does see a trend toward accepting
the political system of this country by its
students and that now they are beginning
to work hard within the system rather than
'' getting their heads smashed like they did
a few years ago.'' This, she feels, is good.
The NSA's largest single asset is its
$.200,000 house in downtown Washington
D.C.. in which one member says the CIA
•
initially funded.
Though he says the CIA tried for several
years after 196 7 to gain possession of the
tour-story building, the NSA was able to
hold it, and will pay off the mortgage
within four years.
The interior of the building is in
desperate need of paint. plaster, replacement for worn out carpet and even
replacement for burnt out light bulbs. But
Kampe) defends the shoddy interior
saying, ''we spend our money on people
oriented things, like research into the
causes of hunger, tuition increases, etc.,
instead of on paint and remodeling."
The NSA employs 15 staff members with ·
salaries at an average of $5,500 per year.
These employees work in one of NSA's
three Qrganizations which are:
NSA Inc .. the federally registered
lobbying arm of the organization.
NSA Travel Bureau, which, for a fee to
be split with the host school student
government, will make travel arrangements for students.
NSA Foundation, an information and
research arm. This group is presently
doing research on the problem of hunger
throughout the world.

the "local governing board" and the
commission, the ECC may possibly disapprove of the proposal.
There is no appeal from the decision
unless the ECC decides to reconsider the
proposal. Application for review may be
entertained but it is not required by the law
that the commission grant it.
The first two program proposals presented to the commission following the
moratorium, at the Feb. 6 meeting were
postponed until the March 5 meeting.
The two proposed new programs are MA
programs for PSU in Criminal Justice and
Public Administration and an MA program
in Public Administration for Lewis and
Clark.
The decision to approve or not approve
was postponed because a majority of the
commissioners were not satisfied that
sufficient review and staff work had been
done. Davidson encouraged his fellow
commissioners to demand all the facts but
to be prepared to act without delay--' 'Work
out the differences and make a decision.'·
The agenda for the March 5 meeting is
as follows:
*Title VI (of the Federal Higher
Education Act of 1965, amended)
*Grant applications, 5th year funds for
the Mathematics Educational Program
*Review for approval or disapproval of
the two proposed new programs
*ECC Staff Report on Tuition Rates for
'76- '77.
When asked what one might expect
under the present law, Dr. Schafer said,
'' It is not so much the law but the people on
the commission who make t-he - final
decision."
Who are they?
Next week the TORCH will look at the
people who decide what to do with $40
mill ion in state and federal funds for
education.

The Human Awareness Council (HAC) and its comm1ss1ons are open to
students who are interested' and willing to improve the equity amo!lg ,,men,
'"'-~I
women, minorities, and the handicappe d.
HAC is composed of six commissions. These were formed during spring of last
year when activities sponsored by the newly-created HAC became too diverse for
one main group to handle effectively. The council itself was formed after a
number of awareness (anti-discrimination) activities began to occur here at LCC.
The Human Awareness Council and its commissions recently sponsored a
series of awareness activities and sessions studying such subjects as biased
language used in publications, sex role myths of men and women, affirmative
action for employers and a presentatio n on Title 9 of the Education Amendmen ts
of 1972 which forbids discrimination on the bias of sex in educational programs
that receive federal funds.
A presentation on "The Hidden Dimension--Who Are The Handicapped" will
be sponsored by the Special Projects Commission on Thursday, March 11 at noon
in room 102 of the Health Building. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to
attend.

The Special Projects commission--which

since its creation about a year ago--now has
some interesting presentatio ns planned.
Its chairer is curriculum specialist Mary
Jeanne Jacobsen.
•One upcoming event planned this Thursday, March 11, is a speaking presentation by Guidance Counselor /Instructo r
Steve Hanamura, entitled, "The Hidden
Diminsion-Who Are the Handicapp ed?"
which will deal with prejudiced or
handicappe d attitudes toward people with
physical disabilities, using analogies which
relate to other minorities. The session
begins at noon in 102 Health, and
continues until 1:30.
• Another program coming up in the film
category is a presentatio n entitled "Tell
Me Where It Hurts.'' The film is about
mid-life changes, and how to deal with and
avoid certain problems of middle age.
•Also planned for the near future is a
workshop for people in first-level supervisory positions, with emphasis on "How to
be an effective leader of a small group."

Spec ial proie cts
commIss1on

The commissions are involved in many areas 0f human awareness and take an
active rold in producing programs and activities that serve to increase equity
among women and men. Tll«e commissio ns are the Special Projects
Commissio n, the Proposal Writing Commissio n, the Supportive Services
Commission and the Curriculum Commission. Two other commissions involved
with HAC are the Personnel Policies and Employees Relations Commission, and
the Information Commission.
The Human Awareness Council coordinates the programs initiated by the
commissions that deal with human awareness here at LCC. These groups try to
develop and train members of_ the LCC community who are involved with these
programs.
Interested students who want to become involved with any of the commissions
can do so by contacting any of the commission members. It is not necessary to be
knowledgeable in any of the commissions, according to Anne Stewart, supervisor
of the LCC Women's Awareness Center. The important thing is a willingness to
learn how the policies involving men and women here at LCC a be made more
humane. See individual commission descriptions below.

Presentatio ns such as "Man & Woman:

a chance "to participate and ·talk" about

Holland, who returned to school five
years ago, understands the apprehension
of women returning after a long absence.
She contends that getting used to a campus
situation is sometimes frightening and it
takes a while to adjust. "I know ~ow it

wanted to be part of the commission."

"In the last month this commission has
really swung into full gear," says Lee
Pettigrew, the chairperson of the Information Commission.
According to the organizatio nal chart of
the Human Awareness Council (HAC), the
responsibilities of the Information Commission are to publish a calendar of events
of LCC and community activities which
relate to human awareness, to coordinate
advertising of special projects, to publish
inf?rmatio n about activities and trends
which relate to the changing roles of
women and men : ~o. collect and disseminate reports of act1v1t1es of the HAC, and to
minimize potential duplication of efforts in
the area of human awareness.
These duties are now being performed
by members of the Information Commission. A newsletter called Convergen t
began publication on Feb. 23, and it lists
~vents taking place at the U of O, LCC and
1~ th~ community. The commission also
dtstnbutes flyers and announcem ents
around the LCC campus. In addition,
Susan Shepard, a member of the commissio~, also publishes announcem ents in the

Pettigrew, who has been active in

groups like HAC have unsuccessfully tried
to form at LCC over the years, but
" ... the time seems to be right now" and
she says she is thrilled to see the council
becoming organized and active.

the Human Awarenes s Council is

Personnel Comm .

by Michael Riley
'' A group of people who are willing to du
•some work" is how the Personnel Policies
and ;Employees Relations Commission is
described by member Randy Mafit.
The commission is one of six that is a
part of the Human Awareness Cou~1cil
(HAC). It was formed in November of 1975
with the main purpose to influence. LCC
personnel policies, personnel administration and employee relations. It provides
recommend ations on how to improve the
policies and relations with the employee
here at LCC.
Grace Cameron, also a member of the
Com~nissi on, told the TORCH that the
comtl'lissio n is now interviewi ng staff
members who are involved in hiring on
campus. From these interviews the
commissio n hopes to form an overall
picture of the hiring practices. Then
recommen dations will be made to the
school about needed changes, continuations or additions to the hiring practices of
LCC.
Mafit also adds that the commission is
'' . . . not a chosen group of people who
self-pick themselves . . . It's open to
anyone who really wants to learn more

TORCH Staff
The play "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest'' will be presented by Northwest
Players, a newly formed Eugene area
theater group.
An independent theater group, Northwest Players has not been in operation
long. According to Producer-Director
Edward Chambers the group was formed
at an informal meeting between himself
and two friends, Mark Agerter and Nancy
Hills. The three shared the same feeling
about forming a theater group and they
decided to produce "One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest." Chambers, Agerter and
Hills all have extensive theater backgrounds.
"The fact that the movie is playing in
town now, we hope will inspire people to
see the play,'' said Chambers. He added
that many people who have seen the movie
have asked him when the play will open
since they are curious about the differences
in both.
Chambers also told the TORCH that the
Northwest Players plan to " ... do a good
quality theater and in the process try and
create financial opportunities for local
performing artists."
He added that the only major difficulty
that the group has faced so far has been
having to change their name. Originally
the group were calling themselves Theater
Northwest, but the Oregon State Commission of Corporations denied them use of
that name and it was changed to Northwest
Players.
Charlene Twite, a student at LCC, is on
the staff of Northwest Players and is in
charge of props for the production of
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
Twite said she wants to get involved in
theater, especially community oriented
theater.
Presently Twite has been
fstudying theater here at LCC. When asked
how she managed to obtain props from

Best season ever for Titans

by Fred Crafts SID
''This was the best season ever by
Lane's-best team ever."
That's how Lane Community College
Basketball Coach Dale Bates sizes up his
team.
The Titans had a sensational year. Look
at these accomplishments :
* A league record of 16-2.
* Won the Oregon Community College
Athletic Association title for the second
consecutive year.
* Forward Rick Weidig was named the
league's most valuable player.
* The entire starting lineup was given
all-league recognition.
* Bates was named OCCAA coach-ofthe-year.
* A season record of 24-6.
* Won the Christmas Seal Classic in
Eugene.
* Beat the touted University of Otegon
JVs twice.
* Placed third in the Region 18 Junior
College Tournament.
Not bad for a team many thought was too
short to be a factor in the league this year.
Bates credits defense for turning his
team-into tigers.
'·We had to hold the other team out,'' he
says. "We wanted to get into our running
game, rely on quickness and hold the other
team out. We were able to do that most of

the time. Then we got the rebounds we
wanted."
This was crucial to Lane's success, for,
"".ith their tallest man at 6-6, the Titans
were continually facing much taller teams.
However. good positioning enabled Lane to
out-rebound their opponents.
Lane finished the season on a 12-game
win streak. then stumbled against College
of Northern Idaho, 72-69, in the regionals.
"That was one of our worst games,"
says Bates. "We were not sharp and crisp.
We did .not play very well. We had too
many turnovers and very poor shooting
from the field.''
Lane regained its form the following
night and salvaged third place in the
tourney by beating Linn-Benton, 80-67 .
"We were real pleased with our
defensive play," says Bates. "We showed
more patience and picked up intensity on
defense. We were pleased with third
place."
Bates was also pleased with the play of
Center Jeff Johnston. Hampered by leg
injuries most of the year, he turned loose
two exceptionally strong performances at
season's end, scoring 21 points against
Northern Idaho and 18 against LinnBenton.
"It's been a good year for us," says
Bates. "Next year can be even better."

Title IX sports rules confusing for schools

(CPS)--lt's a11 trial and error these days as
colleges and universities around the nation
try to apply federal anti-discrimina tion
And
laws to their own campuses.
nowhere is the confusion more evident
than in the athletic provisions of the Title
IX guidelines.
Colleges and universities were given
three years to even up their men's and
women's athletics departments, although
the Office of Civil Rights did not set quotas
or fixed percentages for salaries, scholarships and equipment. This left the
individual schools with the responsibility of
interpreting the law and applying it to
themselves.
Many schools are reluctant to do so.
With athletic budgets decreasing at many
schools, and even the big football powers
losing money, much of the money for the
women's programs come directly from the
men's share. Although women's collegiate
athletics have grown by leaps and bounds
in the past year, they still amount to only a
fraction of the men's departments.
At Kansas University, for instance,

women's athletics received only $9,300 in
1973. This year, the department was given
$132,000 for their women's teams. Meanwhile the men's department received more
than $2 million for their sports programs.
It's the same story at hundreds of other
schools. This year women's sports at
Marshall University (W. Va.) make up only
two or three per cent of total budget of the
athletic program, about $25,000. At
Oklahoma St-ate University (OSU) . •the
women's department is receiving less than
14 per cent of the $1. 7 million allocated for
the men's teams. The men "are not at all
interested in supporting us," OSU's
women's athletic director complained.
The only immediate action set by the
Title IX guidelines for college athletic
departments is an evaluation which must
be made of the athletict programs by this
July. The schools are responsible for
assessing their own programs and comparing them to the federal guidelines. If the
schools find inequitable treatment of men
and women, they must bring their
programs up the the Title IX standard.

Women 's basket ball team optimistic
by Fred Crafts SID
Lane Community College is an underdog
in this weekend's Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women regional
junior college basketball tournament---bu t
Coach Debbie Daggett thinks the Titans
can win it all.
Why?
"We never give up," says Daggett,
whose team is riding a six game win streak
an.d has a 14-5 overa11 record.
The Titans now play Shoreline Community college (of Seattle, Wash.) at 5
p.m. Thursday in the AIA W tourney at
Highline Community College at Midway
Wash.
The tournament favorite is Flathead
Community College (of Montana). Lane
enters jn a darkhorse role. Coach Daggett
says that may work in Lane's behalf.
"Nobody knows how strong we are, "she
says. "We are the only team that I can in
all honesty say that doesn't give up.
We've been down by 12 points and pulled
more than one game out of the bag."
Lane, averaging 5-8 1/2, will be one of
the tallest teams in the tourney. In
addition, the Titans boast quick guards.
"I've got a lot of confidence in my kids,
not only because of their skill and their
ability but because they're intelligent,"
she says. "We don't have to utilize a
time-out to give them a clue as to the
opponent's style of defense or whatever.
They can make those decisions on their
own on the floor.''

-

Daggett also likes her team's attitude:
''They're really firey competitors. I've
seen them lose just as graciously as they've
won. They get along well. There'~lot of
respect and a lot of rapport. I th"nk we
have the makings of a real winning t am.''
The coach calls this her best team ever.
"I think our chances are good to win the
title," says Daggett. "We were real
strong the last three weeks of our season.
We have developed some additional depth
on our bench that we didn't have early in
the season, even when we won the OSU Invitational Tourney."
"The only disadvantage we have that I
can see at this point is that we drew a very
strong team in the first. round," she
continues. "Shoreline is rated the second
best team, behind Flathead. I suppose we·
could only have been worse off if we had
drawn Flathead. But I remember all too
well that last year we were seated second
in the tourney and finished sixth. So
anything's possible."
Oddly enough, Lane could finish fifth in
the eight-team tourney and still advance to
national competition, because four of the
regional tournament schools are not
members of the AIA W and thus are
ineli_gible for national play.
Coach Daggett is taking a 10-member
team to the regionals. plus three supporting personnel (two coaches and c1 ·rainer).
Tl1e only injury is to starting gu : ·d Caryn
Howarth, who is just recoverin from a
bout with the flu.

Music and Movement Daycare theme
photo and story by Yvonne Pepin

Music and movement was the theme
teachers and children of the LCC Daycare
Center focused on last week.
Children have visited dance classes,
listened to a band in the cafeteria, made
musical instruments and learned folk
dancing from Nina Dale, assistant teacher,
to emphasize the theme. In popular
demand by the little ears are marching
records. old Beatie albums, and Israeli folk
music.
"Music has effects on the children even
when we're not aware of it, we have to be
careful what we play," said Jane Wagner,
head teacher of the center. A mellow
album by Dave Brubeck helps in providing
a sedate atmosphere for the morning fresh
energies of the 25 children while a
marching record would only add chaos.
A different theme is introduced weekly,
generally in a cognant sucession. A past
theme theme corrolated the home with
weekly topics such as family, housing, and
clothing introduced through different
projects. In the up-coming weeks sensory
concepts will be focused on. Next week the
children will explore taste and textures
throueh cookin2 and other activities .
The purpose of weekly themes, Wagner
says, "Is to cover and make children aware
of all areas of development that might no
otherwise be learned, and to provide
exposure to new concepts."
