I have criticism for those women who

Using journalist objectivity to rationalize
inaction is inconsistent with even writing

Recognized as legal debt
Former ASLCC pres. may get $1,000
by Sally Oljar
Former ASLCC President (1973- 74)
Barry Hood's request for $1,000 in retroactive salary was recognized as a legal debt
at the April 13 meeting of the ASLCC
Budget Committee.
The committee's recommendation to pay
Hood will now go to the ASLCC Senate on
April 27 and if the Senate approves, Hood
will receive the salary he never collected ·
while in office. Hood served as president
from November 1973 to March 1974, when
he left to run for the Oregon State
legislature.
ASLCC presidents are paid in accordance with budget committee recommendations. For the past two years this amount
has been set at $200 per month plus full
tuition. Hood says, "I received my tuition
but not my salary."
At the Budget Committee's meeting on
April 6, Hood explained the difficulties
he's been having over the last two years
trying to col1ect his salary.
The problem started with former president (1973-74) David Red Fox. Red Fox
told the 1973 budget committee that he
would not accept a salary as president for
the year. The budget passed with a "zero"
salary for that year at Red Fox's request.
Red Fox had made the issue part of his
election campaign platform.
Hood, having just been elected first vicepresident, was a member of that 1973
Budget Committee. He is maintaining that
the zero salary for that year only applied to
Red Fox and only because he requested it.
Red Fox was forced to resign before his
term in office was completed. Hood
supported his resignation, along with !).ine
other Senate members, because of personality problems.
Because Hood was first vicepresident, he succt>~ded Red Fox to the
presidency in accordance with ASLCC
by-laws.
But Hood did not request a salary when
he first took oftice because, "I didn't know
I was entitled . . . everything was going so
fast, it wasn't even thought of (and) I had a
job to do ... I really didn't think of it,'' he
said.
He says he first thought of it "a couple
weeks before my resignation . . . (and)
asked for it (salary) on the day before my
resignation.''
Following his resignation, Hood took his
request to the Senate. His request for a
salary was referred to the ASLCC Judiciary
Committee for a determination as to
whether the salary was legally due him.
The committee recommended that according to the ASLCC Constitution, a salary
must be paid to the president and that the
Senate should do so.
But when the recommendation went to
the ASLCC Finance Committee it was
denied on the grounds that a "zero" salary
had been set for that year, and that the
Senate did not have the funds to pay him.
In June 1974, Hood filed a c1aim with the
Oregon Wage and Hour Division, which
determined his claim legitimate. Karl
Hansen, representin.g the Division,
requested by letter that the Senate
reimburse Hood for his term in office.
Sallie Torres, who had been elected
ASLCC President (1974-75) in May, replied
in a letter to the division, stating that,
"During Spring Term 1973, immediately
following Student Body elections, the
Budget Committee was formed to prepare
the 1973-74 budget. The Budget Committee decided that a salary of $0.00 would be
paid to the ASLCC President ... I do not
feel Mr. Hood has a legitimate claim. In
her reply she also emphasized that Hood
was a member of the budget committee
when it originally passed the budget.
Hood told the Budget Committee this
April 6 that, "I don't think the letter was
sent with cabinet consent." His reasons,
he said last Friday, were that there was no
indication that the Senate knew anything
about it, it was a letter that stated 'I do not
Utility consumer initiative group petitions
~ponsors of :-n initiative to create a
utility consumers organization recently
launched a signature gathering campaign
to place the measure -on the November
ballot. Representatives throughout the
state expect to gather the 46,235 valid
signatures they need to qualify during a
two month drive.
The initiative measure would establish
Utility Consumers' Advocate as a member
cont;olled organization with specific
powers to represent consumers in utility
rate cases, before the legislature, and at
other administrative and judicial bodies.
The organization will be funded exclusively
through voluntary contributions and will
not involve any tax dollars, according to
Hayes Beall, a retired electric co-op
manager and one of the initiative's
sponsors. The measure defines a member
of Utility Consumers' Advocate as any
person using utility services who con-
tributes $3 per year.
Utility Consumers' Advocate differs
from other citizens organizations and
needs to be established through a law,
explained Beulah Hand, a retired state
legislator, because it requires utilities to
carry Utility Consumers' Advocate information along with their monthly billings.
''Through this 'piggy-back mailing' provision, Utility Consumers' Advocate can
keep citizens informed of energy decisions,
pending rate cases, and the impact of
utility decisions on their lives.''
Jim Carney, former Chief Counsel for
Consumer Protection for the Oregon
Attorney General and currently Assistant
Dean of the U of O Law School, explained
that Utility Consumers' Advocate would
assist the Public Utility Commissioner in
serving the pub1ic interest "by vigorously
and thoroughly representing the interests
of residential consumers in rate hearings."

Since the dawn of organized brewing back in 800
AD .. brewmastcrs have urged discriminating drinkers to pour straight

Although blatantly defiant of

advantage of producing a seal between
the head and the drink itself. trapping

remains true.

hrewmastcrs were right from the beginning. When it came to making beer, so

''they would probably say 'go to the school
board' and through the appeal process."
In September of 1974, the Executive
Cabinet meeting held a closed meeting to
discuss Hood's case. Torres had written a
memo responding to Hood'~ earlier memo,
written at the time of his resignation, for a
wage claim and had it .ittached to the
minutes of the meeting. Hood says, "My
right to respond to (Terres') memo was
denied: I asked for time to respond."
Hood was never granted the time t-0
respond, and for this reason he says, he
hasn't gone to the LCC Board of Education
with his claim. Torres said last week, "(I)
suggested that he follow the (college)
grievance procedure in effect at tha t
time."
Hood said in a memo to the Budget
Committee on April lJ that he had not
gone to the Board of Education because, ''I
feel I have been denied my right to rcspund
in writing, explaining my views, and it
would be inappropriate for the LCC Board
to deal with matters pertaining to the
ASLCC President's salary.
"I haven't ever felt that justice has been
done,'' he said on April 6, ''since
previously I was denied on the basis of
statements that were not true."

However, Torres said last Monday,
April 12, "The letter was entir~ly

Hood also says that Torres is mistaken in
her dates in her reply to the Wage and
Hour Division. According to Hood, the
1973-74 Budget Committee did not meet
during Spring Term but during the
summer, and not immediately after
student body elections. He continues to
stress that the zero salary set for the year
only applied to Red Fox.
Jay Bolton, who was ASLCC President
during the 1972-73 year said last week,
"(We) started on it (the 1973-74 budget) in
the spring, I can't remember how much we
accomplished." Bolton says he had his
term of office extended to work on the
budget, "I can't recall exactly when we
met, several times during the summer,"
he said.
Hood has stated, "We didn't formulate
the budget until the end of the summer.
The ASLCC documents state 'shall meet
during Spring Term.' The letter (to the
Wage and Hour Division) insinuates the
process was carried out Spring Term. It's
not exactly what is said that I'm
disputing--the committee was formed but
didn't prepare (the budget). Through
innuendo, this would seem to indicate that
the Budget Committee had in fact
formulated (the budget) at this time, but
that . . . is incorrect."
Hood says he received a copy of the
letter from the Wage and Hour Division,
while Torres says on April 12, ''I gave him
(Hood) a carbon copy of the letter."
He also :-aid on Friday, ''The thing that
really pissesrme off about that letter is that
it was written by somebody who didn't
know what was happening at the time
(during Budget Committee preparation)."
He added that Torres hadn't been in the
Senate, "the letter contained hearsay and
not fact,'' he said.
At that hearing Hood was told, he
claims, "th"at I had not exhausted my
procedural appeal. If the Wage and Hour
Division took it to court at that time . . .
they thought it would be remanded instead
of dealt with." This meant, he added,

Said to be politically ~qual
Outdoor
China geared to women's equality
by Andy Ferguson
''I'm a Boston Republican who can
wear a tweed suit and flat Boston shoes,"
says China traveler Margaret Whitman.
'' And I went to China with all the
preconceptions Americans usually have
about the place."
Whitman described her experiences as a
member of Shirley McLain's "First
Women's Friendship Delegation" to China
in April of 1973 at the Erb Memorial Union
Battroom Monday night. "I knew nothing
about China before we went, none of us·
did, and that's the way Shirley wanted it."
Among the women on the tour were a
George Wallace supporting housewife
from the deep South, a social worker from
California, a Navajo Indian from the
Southwest, and a black woman from
Mississippi who ''had· been called a
communist for so man y years she thought
she'd go and see what they were."
Margaret Whitman, a dyed in the wool
New Deal despising Republican went along
as a representative of women ''well over
30." (She ' s 56)
The roles of women in Chinese society
was the most eye-opening of Ms. Whitman 's "myth SHATTERING" discoveries.
"In China, women are politically equal and
society is geared to women's· equality."
G
For proof of this statement Ms. Whitman
showed a film made on her tour by its
all-women photographic crew. In it,
women worked alongside men in all types
of industrial and agricultural jobs.
"Women have economic independence in
China," says Ms. Whitman, "And that
independence comes from their equal role
in the economk system.''
Ms. Whitman offered examples of how
society there is geared for the working
woman. Mothers, (or fathers), can have
their children cared for at day-care centers
operated at their own workplace and pick
them up after their shift. Grandparents
and other old people help in caring for the
children, and when thev pick up their
children after work, take-out meals are
available for women, (or men), who aon·t
'feel like cooking dinner. The men and
women working in the factories plan,
organize, and operate these types of
services themselves through workers'
committees, according to Whitman.
Since her introduction to China in 1973,
Whitman has returned there twice. In 1974
she !ed a study group of U.S. urban
planners to various Chinese cities, and she
recently made a trip there as a member of
the National Steering Committee of the
U.S. China People's Friendship Assoc.

Still a "man's world" on camp-us
(CPS) "It's a man's world" may still hold
true on college campuses, despite attempts
by the women's movement to eliminate
discrimination in higher t=>ducation.
Most colleges are dominated by male
profs who are "relatively insensitive" to
issues affecting their female students and
colleagues, according to an analysis of the
attitudes of professors at four-year institutions.
The data, which was compiled by the
American Council of Education during
1972-73, was analyzed recently by Elizabeth Tidball, a physiology professor at
George Washington University.
Tidball found that male and female
teachers were more supportive of students
of their own sex. However, since men
faculty members greatly outnu~ber women, "the climate for men students is
more cordial" than for women students.
Male faculty members were considerably less interested in issues like discrimination and child care than were the female
profs.
''The relatively small proportion of
women faculty on most campuses assures
that women students will have few adult,
same-sex role models,'' says Tidball.
While the women faculty are supportive of
women students, their own self-esteem

Outdoor education has become a part of
LCC's instructional program. The two
Geology classes taught by Mike Mitchell
(GS 110 and GSl 11) are examples of
techniques being used to provide opportunities for studying in the field.
Mitchell is planning to take one class
backpacking up near the Three Sisters.
His other class will do its hiking and
camping near Bend and Crater Lake-.
To give students an idea of what these
classes are like, the Science Department
has displayed some pictures of some of the
previously taken trips.
Slides are used in class to help with
lectures . The slides also help to '' Aquaint
people with the geology of Oregon." But
the pictures can't do it all. Mitchell went
on to say, "A student can't get the full
impact from the pictures unless he sees it
in person."

iruns very low. The examples of achieving
women for students at most institutions are
faculty who are clustered in the lower ranks
without tenure, and faculty whose salaries
are less than those of their men colleagues
at every rank.''
Women students find the most supportive environments at women's colleges,
according to Tidball. About 45 percent of
the faculty members there are women, and
they rate themselves higher in self-esteem
than do women teaching in co-educational
universities and colleges.
Male profs at women's colleges also
expressed a greater concern for issues
affecting women. The highest percentage
of men who disagreed strongly with the
statement: "Male students comprehend
course material better than female students," taught at women's colleges.
In a study of women achievers conducted
by Tidball several years ago, she found
that '' graduates of women's colleges are
twice as likely to be cited for career
achievement as are women graduates of
coeducational institutuions."
Her findings were based on a five
decade comparison of 1.50-0 women
selected at random from Who's Who of
American Women.

12 women learn together in
Women's Woodworking ShoF
-------
~·
photos and story "by Yvonne Pepin
Once a week LCC's handsaw, planer,
and radial arm saw play host to the
woodworking interests of 12 women.
For the past four Saturdays women have
been meeting m the woodworking shop on
campus to build furniture and learn from
each other admist gyrating steel blades,
sawdust, general wood working concepts.
Called the Women's Woodworkin g
Shop, the class was initiated by Project
Start (subtitled Women's Skill Center), a
five-woman collective from Eugene whose
primary goal is to facilitate '' the growing
alternative interests of all women,'' state
Kacey Jurgens, a collective member and
participant in the class.
Nancy Burbanks, the course instructor
who has spent three years in adult
education woodworkiag classes at LCC,
v;as okayed last term by the Adult
Education Program as the women's shop
instructor. She likes teaching the cJass:
"The class is easy to teach, I don't have to
do a lot of teaching, everyone works and
teaches each other.
"We all help each other out as much as
possible," said Burbanks, explaining the
interaction between students in class. In
other woodworkin g classes she has
OSPIRG board
undergoing
changes
An attempt was made yesterday to
re-organize the local board of the Oregon
Student Public Interest Research Group
(OSPIRG) at LCC.
OSPIRG" a student-opera ted research
group dealing with consumer and environmental problems, has not been active on
the LCC campus since last term even
though LCC is still listed as one of the
thirteen colleges throughout the state
representing OSPIRG.
Steve Sands, OSPRIG staff member from
Portland was on the LCC campus yesterday
to meet with five people he had previously
talked to who were interested in re-organizing an OSPIRG board. The meeting was
to take place at 3 p.m. in the Student
Resource Center office. Sands was there,
but the five other people never showed up.
Sands will continue to be on the campus
every Monday and Tuesday throughout the
Spring term
Sands outlined the need for volunteers in
three projects OSPIRG is currently involved in. He hopes that these projects
will generate interest in LCC students.
These three projects are conducting an
opinion poll on attitudes toward regulation
of off-road vehicles, working on a petition
to from a coalition of utility consumers to
work with local utility boards and composing a booklet describing in depth the
financial aid opportunities open to college
students.
attended, no one wanted to help one
another and anger has flared when people
made mistakes. Burbanks says she doesn't
have to instigate interaction, it just
happens. "The women take this course
because it's women teaching women, and
we are willing to make mistakes as long as
we can learn from one another," she says.
The women gather every Saturday in the
woodworking shop to learn primary safety
techniques of the machinery, then apply
these skills to projects of their choosing.
classes two collaspible rocking chairs, a
table, and a complex chest, among other
projects, are being created by class
members.
''Women," Burbanks says, "tend to be
more careful with tools. It's a respect you
get from fear, you just have to keep in mind
that a radial arm saw can cut your hand off,
and remember to keep your fingers away
from the blades," she replied when asked
if she feared any students being hurt.
"The fear is always there," but she thinks
women take into consideration and dangers
of machines and are "more particular,"
about what they're doing.
"Each tool you use teaches you to tap a
different way of using your body,''

explained Jurgens. Involved in woodworking classes since junior high school,
Jurgens has built shelves and bins for a
local coffee distri~utor and has done other
johs ,too. In previous woodworking classes,
'· men would not validate or recognize
skills," she said.
In one class she attended the few women
there were making checker boards for their
boyfriends. "I made an inlaid table after
they (the male instructors) said I
couldn't," she added.
"It's different working with women, we
don't feel guarded with what we know.''
Jurgens explains that in her experiences
the men who taught her tended to be very
possessive of their knowledge, and not
willing to relinquish it to a woman they
thought incapable of understandin g.
"Men will show you instead of explaining how to do something," claims
Burbanks, citing changing of a saw blade
as an example. She says in the past that
her instructors who were men would go
ahead and "do it." Instead of using a
scrap of wood to demonstrate a cut, they
would execute the motion on her piece of
wood. "You don't make any mistakes this
way, but you don't learn anything either,"
she affirms.
Originating six • months ago, • the
Women's Skill Center aims to create
situations in which women help locate and
create jobs for other women desiring work
in alternative situations. In consideration
of the expanding concerns of women, the
Women's Skill Center also has set up a
women's welding and auto mechanics
course.
The welding course meets every Friday
night. Jurgens says women involved in the
course are "very committed" to learning
the trade and welding shop instructor
Shaun Clark teaches the course "ten
times" as fast as any other she has seen.
Originally located in the same building
as Gertrude's Silver 8th Note Cafe, the
Center was forced to relocate when the
Eugene Coalition served an eviction notice
to the restaurant.
Presently located in the Tiffany Building, 795 Willamette, the Center will again
be moving as the poor buildings location
provides inadequate contact for women,
says Jurgens.
The Center has future goals and plans
for expansion she says, but the collective is
laying these aside at present to help
Gertrude's Cafe and Eugene Women find
and develop a building to meet the needs
to support and facilitate the growing
awareness and abilities of the women's
community, according to Jurgens.
In conjunction with the woodworkin g
shop, the Women's Skill Center has
inspired two students of the class--Cindy
Smock and Linda Mclntosh--to seek
carpentry skills as a means of supporting
themselves. Both women will take
aptitude tests at the Seattle Central
Community College in hopes of being
enrolled into that school's carpentry class.
The Five-Day Stop Smoking Plan
by Tom Carlson
"Stop smoking. Smell flowers," proclaim the posters with a child's caricature
of a happy-faced person rapturously
clutching a flower.
At least 74 persons, mostly students,
may have been responding to that message
from five-year-old Beth Renee Hayes,
daughter of LCC Nurse Jenny Hayes, by
registering in the Five-Day Stop Smoking
Plan, which began at LCC last Monday.
The coordinator of the anti-smokin g
clinic, David Sturgess of the Seventh Day
Adventist Church in Eugene, presented
the free clinic for the first time at LCC.
Sturgess, who has a degree in psychology
and theology and a masters in counseling,
conducts regular clinics from September to
May at the Seventh Day Adventist Church
at 13th & Polk in Eugene.
In an interview for the TORCH, Sturgess
explained what he attempts to accomplish
in a five day period, considering both the
physiological and psychological components of smoking.
He said that it takes about three days for
the body to remove the nicotine from its
system, and that on about the fifth day, a
person should be able to lose the
systematic craving for nicotine.
But, said Sturgess, it takes much longer
to eliminate the psychological dependence
on smoking since th~ person must make
changes in his life-style and maintain
them.
To assist people in effecting these
changes, the program offers recommendations for proper diet, exercise and
breathing.
The Five-Day Plan can only serve as a
"launching pad," Sturgess stressed, and it
is up to the individual person to maintain
the habits and life-styie necessary to
quit.
Participants· in the clinic give various
reasons for wanting to stop smoking, but
health seems to be the dominant one.
Other reasons given are the expense and
unattractiven ess of smoking, the urging of
children for their parents to quit, and
consideratio n for the comfort on nonsmokers.
Among the puffers waiting outside
Forum 302 Monday for the clinic to begin,
was <1 man, 62 years of age, who attended a
.similar clinic three years ago in Springfield. As a result of his clinic experience,
he said, he quit smoking for a full year.
Now, back to one-and-one- half packs a day,
he feels it is time to attend another clinic.
According to Sturgess, smokers see less
well than non-smokers. The ability to taste
food and the sense of smell are heightened
at the end of the Five-Day Plan. Coughing
is much alleviated and breathing is easier.
Sturgess said he marvels at the healthy
appearance of the persons successfully
completing the clinic.
Les Killion, LCC student counselor and
campus coordinator for the clinic, said that
if enough interest is shown, the clinic couk
be presented at LCC once each quarter ir
the future. Different times would be use<
so that those finding it impossible to attem
at noon may be able to attend a futur,
clinic.

(CPS) Gerald Piel, publisher and president of Scientific American magazine since
194 7, has seen the future and thinks it will
be just peachy.
Foreseeing a ''new ideal of the
community ," Piel recently told a group of
NDrth Carolina students that in the coming
years, ''we can expect work and leisure to
become increasingly indistingui shable.''
The main problem, as Piel sees it, is to
figure out "how to use the freedom and
how to occupy the leisure that science and
the compound interests have won for us."
In other words, technology and science will
soon set us free.
Godfrey Boyle and Peter Harper aren't
holding their breath. This British pair have
seen the future too, and they think we're
headed for trouble. Big trouble.
Boyle and Harper, editors of the recently
published book, "Radical Technology ,"
feel instead that we should be "reexamining the role of technology in modern
societies." The future, according to them
and a score of their cohorts, holds for us
horrors of untold dimensions if we continue
full throttle along our current course of
reckless waste, economic concentration
and centralized authority. "You can't go
on growing forever, increasing energy
consumption, use of raw materials, population," they write. "And you can't treat the
biosphere like an infinite rubl,ish dump."
The problem, they explain, is the
"political, economic, social and psychological forces that constrain and oppress
us ... the patterns of ownership , status
games, the way you work, what you
learned at school, what the neighbors
'think. who gives the orders, what turns you
on. what you can or cannot buy." In short,
modern life.
The entire basis of our productive
activity needs reassessin g, Boyle and
Harper believe, everything from work
patterns and methods to engineerin g
principles and convention al scientific
theory. Big change is needed; modern
industrial society is headed for the rubbish
dump itself, they say, and "remedial
gimmicks such as economic growth jags,
foreign aid, Billy Graham, catalytic afterburners and lobotomy on demand are not
going to do the trick ."
All this is hardly new; critics many
shades less radical than Boyle and Harper
say almost as much at the drop of a hat.
What is new, however, is that the two have

Dr. Morray is a lawyer in Corvallis, who

capitilistic governments." Castro also
gave his " profound gratitude" to the
Soviet Union for aiding Cuba throughout
its problems with imperialistic countries.

emulate it.'' Castro said that Cuba was
asked to go into Angola by ''the legitimate
government of Angola," which Cuba
recognizes as the popular movement for
the Liberation of Angola (MPLA). Other
nations and organizations to recognize the
MPLA are Brasil, USSR, France, Englan::l,
practically every state in Africa , and tne
Orga nization of African Unity. The
maj ority of nations do not recognize the
MPLA.
Morray said that Castro does not deny
having 12,000 Cuban troops in Angola. He
sai d in November of 1975, when the
Portugese troops left Angola, and the
dominantly white ''apartheid'' government
of South Africa, the MPLA requested
Cuban troops to aid Angola in its struggle
for independence and liberation.
Morray . said that Castro has made
remarkable changes in Cuba, since the
revolution, such as increasing the amount
of tractors from 9,000 to 54,000, and the
amount of schools from 15,000 to 83,00.
Morray also discussed Castro's Five
Year Plan which is based on a socialistic
rationing system, and said that Castro
hopes to arrfve at complete communism in
the near future.
In Castro's socialistic rationing system,
money is paid to peasant workers to buy
nescessary staples in community stores.
This is done by a census which indicates
the number of people in each family. But
Morray said, that normally the people who
run the stores are community members
and thus know the amount of rations to
give to each family.
The revolution of 1959, when Castro took
over leadership from Batista, resulted in
state ownership of most of Cuba's land and
in the organization of state farm. Morray
says the government nationalized the
country's business sectors, and the state
began directing. This, he said, caused
some controversy among the wealthy and
professional people, but was generally
accepted by the peasants. Many of the
professional people left Cuba to go to
Florida, while others stayed and accepted
the new government.
Morray explained the land changes,
saying that the Cuban government made
state farms from the large privately owned
farms. The peasants who had worked on
those farms were given the basic right to
live on them and cultvate the land. Other
smaller farms were allowed to go on as
they were before the revolutiop .
As far as legislation is concerned, Dt.
Morray stated that all the people of Cuba
are allowed to vote for Municipal Assemblies (there are 169 Municipal Assemblies) who in turn vote for delegates in
the fourteen provinces of Cuba. Then th e
169 Municipal Assemblies vote in the
National elections which determined the
supreme government of the people. What
Castro has done is eliminate the Regional
Assembly in an effort to keep elections
simple, Morray claimed.
Although Castro has made it a point to
state that he recognizes and respects the
religious beliefs of his people, he refuses to
allow members of Jehovah ' s Witness
group to vote at elections because of their
refusal to join the Armed Forces during the
revolution. Other people not allowed to
vote include the leaders of the Yellow
Trade Unions of 158-59 and any other
groups who opposed the Cuban Revolution.
Castro's Communist Party is taking a
scientific approach to religion; a concept
which blocks out all superstitions and
legends and is basically atheist in thought,
although Castro admits, "A good Catholic
can still make a good revolutionary. " Rut
he also said that, "The unity of all people
leaves no room for isolated believers."
Morfay said that there are 200 ,003
members of the Communist Party at this
time and that Party members are nominated by different work groups. But the
final membership depends on the Party's
acceptance. New peo_ple making u_o the
Cuban Communist Party are from among
the workers and have strong characters
and leadership qualities, he said .

Shakespeare's ''The-Tempest" opens April 23
by Meloda Gore
What do tantric yoga symbols, Jungian
psychology and alchemy have in common?
Would you believe Shakespeare?
They are just a few of the elements in
LCC's upcoming production of "The
Tempest.'' They are all evident in the sets
and costumes designed by David and
Linday Sherman in subtle and not so subtle
ways.
If you have only minimal knowledge of
such mystic areas don't worry, it won't
interfere with your enjoyment of this
classic fantasy. The symbolism isn't meant
to steal the show, only to add to it.
Between testing a trap door and
checking the lights, David Sherman explains, ''The sets are the visual representation of the individuation process." · That
sounds pretty scarey, but don't be
alarmed. He's only playing with your

subconscious mind.
This man behind the Beethovan sweatshirt running in all directions is only too
happy to enlighten you . One of the basic
premises of Jungian psychology (named
for Karl Jung) is that each person has an

For example, Antonio (Rich Sheeland), the

decorated with a sun which corresponds
to his role as a life-giving "son." The

With the objective ''to get an employable person ... to learn a skill which will
enable ·her/him to go out and earn a
living," the LCC Business ·Department is
now the largest department on campus,
according to Judy Lingo, an instructor in
the department. •
The department's s\:':cretarial programs
include accounting, management, keypunch, and one and two year secretarial

students come for the one year program.
Often those who have completed the one

for students to come back." Cooperative
Work Experience and Business Coordinator Sharon Moore says, "A majority
of people who are in the accounting,
clerical, and secretarial programs, who get
a degree, are hired and a majority find jobs
on their own.''
According to Moore, the average age of
the student is 27. She also comments that
one third of the students attend night
school and have a job-as well. "Of those
who are in the two year program, a large

"The department receives a large
amount of calls requesting graduates,"
remarks Jennings, who says people from
community business are also often solicited
into classrooms.
Representatives from lumber industries,
banks, and businesses are invited into the
classes to speak. "We try to work close to
the community,'' remarks Jennings. ''The
department has worked hard to build a
good relationship with the community."
According to Moore, students are
screened before they are sent out to be
interviewed. '' A lot of the time when
people don't get hired it's a human

Revised Board Policy Policy: Satisfactory progress
By Cris Clarke
Up until the January 14, 1976 LCC Board
of Education approval of a revised policy,
LCC instructors technically had to report a
student's unsatisfactory progress to a
counselor, at the end of any given term.
However, since the rewriting of Board
Policy 5126.5 "a student will be notified of
unsatisfactory progress during the term,
rather than at the end of the term,'' says
Assistant to the President Bert Dotson.•
And since the revision, LCC instructors
possess the sole right to determine what
unsatisfactory progress is, and to drop a
student on the grounds that less than
desirable progress is being made.
But Dotson says that the policy revision
hasn't had a dynamic effect on LCC
because instructors were already implementing the procedure.
"Even though we have reworded the
Board Policy, I think it's been going on in
most dassroom situations,'' Dotson says.
He continues, "This thing is for the
benefit of the student. .. the Board's
direction was to implement some kind of
policy for the students. It's not fair to lead
a student on about his/her progress."
The revision reads as thus:
Instructors will be expected to state
content and objectives at the beginning
of each term and throughout the term as
the need arises. Students who cannot be
expected to complete the course as outlined may be dropped (by the instructor)
from the class in compliance with
administrative regulations which provide
for advance notification and assistance
for students performing unsatisfactorily.
Says Admissions and Registration
Director Bob Marshall, "The Implication Is
that the Instructor will pass out a syllabus
which includes grading, reading and
course objectives. The instructor may
develop his or her own criteria as long as it
related to satisfactory progress."
And although Marshall sees possible
problems with the change, he feels that in
the long run the policy is good.
"It could cause problems," he says. "It
could force more student-instructor conferences. But it could also open more
student-faculty channels."
But before this recent revision, according to Marshall, no policy existed where an
instructor could drop a student "other than
the policy which allows the instructor to
drop the student for non-attendance during
the first week of the term."
According to Marshall, up until two
years ago the Board had a policy which
called for the student to be dropped if he or
she had missed equivalent to two weeks
worth of class time. The Board deleted
that policy in favor of the requirement that
the student attend class at least sometime
during the first week of the term.

Titan track shorts
by Don Sinclair
Education (250) and U of O (157) Tuesday
afternoon on Lane's track. Kathy Downey
scored twice for the Titanias with a smooth
second in the 100 M. hurdles and a fourth
in the 100 yard dash. Kathy Wright scored
in the javelin, Lis_a Monroe· in the shot,
and Wanda Gregg and Lynne Nord scored
in the hurdles.
The women will get another chance at
OCE this Saturday at Monmouth. The five
may meet featuring the hostesses and OSU
will start at 10 a.m.
The LCC Titans polished off what may
have been their toughest competition
they'll have this year, Mt. Hood and
College of Southern Idaho last Friday
afternoon. Shibley atld Bailey went
one-two in both the shot and discus and led
Lane to a winning score of 72 1/2 to 62 1/2
for Mt. Hood and Southern Idaho 51.
Bob Moore placed in three events, third
in the hi~h hurdles, third in the high jump
'ind a surprising second in lhe javelin.
LCC's one weakness has been a lack of
serious competitor in both the javelin and
the pole vault. Moore filled one of those
voids with a javelin chunk of 175-8 and
second place in his first competition.
the rain palace
Here I sit, contemplatingi!the lack of sports news due to the rain and I realize I'm
somewhat amazed that th~ Eugene-Springfield area doesn't have a multi-sport, covered
area ... a domed stadium, if you will.
I'm also bepuzzled when I realize that our community of approximately 135,000 which
likes to think of itself as sophisticated, does not eniov an acoustically sound auditorium.
As the rain continues to fall, let's analyze these two vaguely related deficiencies.
Mac Court, Autzen Stadium; South Eugene and the Lane Couty Fairground
auditoriums, and several very little theatres have either~ limited seating capacities,
photo l»y Jeff Hayclanrichocheting acoustics, or both.
Severa) of LCC's track and field athletics
will be invited to participate this Saturday
on the U of O's annual Twilight Meet
starting at S p.m.
Special congrats go. to the Duel T & F
team with an emotional team victory over
WSU last Saturday.
It was nice to see the Titans get front
sports page coverage in the Register-
LCC' s women's track team finished a
distant third (26) to Oregon College of
Bo0th, nuqent Win
Guard last week.
by Don Sinclair
College baseball, football, and track and field are impaired by the Oregon rains. A
short season of rookie league pro baseball is the only spectator sport for the -masses when
we have warm weather.
At the same time, Portland gets the Elton John concerts, the Ice Capades and the WHO
in the Coliseum and we put Mimi Farina in a junior high gymnasium, Tom Rush in the
WOW Hall and try to listen to Dan Fogelburg at Mac Court.
Yes, we do have some deficiencies. Mac Court doesn't hold enough people who
appreciate basketball and it holds too much sound for those who appreciate a concert.
Autzen Stadium sits idle other than during football practice and soggy games, except for
the fireworks on the 4th of July.
I wonder if we could get a professional soccer team to come to Eugene? It was enjoyable
to read about the Portland Timbers and their love affair -with the fans. Wouldn't it be
nice to enjoy that same type of inexpensive excitement and at the same time help the U of
0 generate some income from Autzen.
Even if the stadium were just half filled at $3 per person per game, $62,000 gross
income per game is surely better than nothing. I wonder if our community could get
caught up in something like that? The revenue could, in theory, reduce the amount the
university would have to charge for football tickets. Or, the revenue could be used to pay
for a new cultural-sports arena.
This multi-use area could be designed and structured toward accoustical excellence and .
at the same time be able to accomodate 5000 more fans for Duck basketball. Indoor track
meets, prestigious basketball tournaments and indoor workout areas for baseball would
also be possible with proper design and -management. But could we afford it?
We are going to have to have additional athletic facilities in this area. Title IX has
increased the influence of women's athletics far beyond what they have previously been.
As quickly as this fall, women's volleyball at the U of O will probably outgrow Gerlinger
Annex as they played to SRO crowds all last year. Mac Court is the obvious growing area
for women's athletics. It has tradition, close proximity and familiarity ... all positive ,
albiet subtle, points.
Gymnastics, wrestling , and indoor tennis coupled with much more open gym time for
students would complete an efficient schedule for Mac Court.
All concerts would be held in the cultural-sports arena. Bigger name bands would be
more inclined to play here than ever before because crowds would be larger and sound
reproduction cleaner. Touring orchestras and dance troupes would have a performing
area worthy of their talents. The place could probably pay for itself.
Could WE afford it? Pocatello, Idaho and Bozeman, Montana support domed facilities
and their drawing areas for spectators are less than half the 135,000 plus people that
reside here.
Idaho State plays a full football season in theirs, and Montana State's covered facility is
big enough for rodeos. Both schools recruit well for being in such small. out of the way
places (remember MSU nearly beting UCLA's Bruins in NCAA Regionals in Portland last
year?). They combatted the snow the same way we could beat the rain ... go inside.
Nearly three years ago, only 5000 people in Eugene voted on the civic auditorium ballot :
measure and it was defeated by a 3-2 margin ... So if you were pessimistic enough to think :
that three percent of Eugene's population really reflect community consensus, then we
should agree that the project should be a county undertaking. The people of Eugene
shouldn't pay entirely for something which benefits the entire area.
It was probably to our advantage to not have approved the civic auditorium ballot
measure of the past. I ~hink now that we should take a look at some versatile plans
to improve both the athletic and cultural aspects of Lane County. Got any ideas?
Mark Booth, LCC's National JC Champion Heavyweight wrestler and Larry
Nugent, LCC's other great wrestler, won
their divisions of the Southern Oregon
Freestyle Wrestling Tournament last
Saturday.
Booth. who wrestles at about 250
pounds, has already qualified for the
Olympic Trials by virtue of winning the
National /unior College heavyweight title
last month. Nugent was undefeated in the
regular season, had a bout with the flu and
had not recovered for the nationals. He
had his man down 10-2 before he ran out of
gas and lost in the first round.
Life for a world class wrestler is not all
that easy ... especially when the Olympics
are your goal. LCC Wrestling Coach Bob
Creed says, "M::rk has a hard time staying
in shape. It's real tough just finding
competition for him to work out with."
It's well publicized that Greg Gibson and
Mark Booth work out together. Coach
Creed said, "I've got Mark on a good
running program, twice a day now. He's
got to get in better shape. He was sucking
in a lot pf wind l.,ast Saturday."
Creed went on to say that Booth is not
required to wrestle any more until the trials
if he doesn't want to ... he's already
qualified.
Nugent, however, has the pressure on
him. In order to make the Oiympic trials,
he will have to win both the district and
regional meets in his weight class (136.5
lb). "From the Olympic trials come the
best six wrestlers in each class," Creed
says, "and they work 24 hours a day in a
wrestling camp. If Mark can make it to the
camp, where they can work with him, he
should make the team ... I think three
wrestlers will make it ."
Nugent will have to fight injuries and
many pressure filled free style meets , each
contest becoming progressively harder.
The meet this last weekend found him
winning seven out of seven matches, but '

Titan horseriders got 12 runs in Saturdays
doubleheader with Blue Mountain in
Pendleton but only got one run. Pete
Twyman shut out the Mountaineers 6-0 in
the dusker, scattering 8 hits. The hosts
exploded for six runs in the sixth, knocking
Donnie Lee out of the box.
Titan catcher Roger Plant had 3 Ribbies
in the losing effort with timely hits, Russ
Dickson went 3 for 4 and Gambino popped
a homer and a triple.
The Tuesday doubleheader with LinnBenton is postponed until Wednesday
\.__
winning in international meets is not
always enough. If you don't win by
pinning your opponents, you also stand a
chance of losing the tournament. "Bad
Marks" are the reason: If you defeat your
opponent by a decision, you get one bad
mark--your opponent gets three. If you pin
vour opponent , you get O bad marks. The
wrestlers who are pinned _get 4.
"Usually," Creed said, "when you get 6
bad marks, you ' re out of the tournament."
A wrestler could therefore pin his opponent
for a fifth stright victory but could lose the
tournament to the man he pinned, 4-5.
Creed says, "Nugent is good. Real
good. He was twice state high school
champion from Marist and wrestled one
year with Oregon State's varsity before
coming to LCC. Just this last weekend he
beat Dewey Travis of the Ducks ... beat him
bad, too. Nugent had him 12-0 before he
pinned him. Like I said, the only reason
why he isn't still undefeated is because he
was sick.''
Both wrestlers will compete this coming
weekend in the Oregon Open A.A.U.
wrestling championships at Portland State
University. -Mark Booth is trying to get in
shape and Larry Nugent will be trying to
·qualify for the regionals in Washington in
May.
Matches will start at 7 p.m. on Friday
and will run all day Saturday and
competition will be the best in the west.
·international free style wrestling. Mark
Booth and Larry Nugent can be seen
Thursday evenings in LCC's wrestling
room from 7-10 p.m.
