Ex-TORCH editor
fills ODE editor slot
Â·Former TORCH Editor Rick Bella
was named Managing Editor of the
Oregon Daily Emerald, the University of Oregon daily newspaper last
Wednesday.
Bella served as TORCH Editor
Winter and Spring Terms in 1975
and from there moved into the
Political Associate Editor slot of the
Emerald. He served in that position
until his promotion last week.
Bella cited a desire to remedy
what he termed a "Lack of coordination between the news and the
graphics departments" for his decisi9n to apply for the position vacated
by the resignation of Dennis Phaff on
April 9.
While Bella will fifl the position
only untill the end of Spring Term
and will have to reapply for the job
for next year he fells there is a good
chance he will retain the position for
the 1976-77 school year.
In addition to his new duties,
which include supervising a staff of
nearly 70 people, Bella is also
employed by United Press Interna- '
tional (UPI) as a Eugene correspondent while attending the U of 0
where he is majoring in Journalism.
Bella felt his exprience with LCC's
journalism program and his involvment with the TORCH ''provided me
with a broad exposure to Journalism.
I found my experience there made
me at least competive with people
who were going to four year
institutions."
Bella was appointed to the position
by outgoing Emerald editor Jim
Gregory. who served as TORCH
editor in 1972-73. The Emerald has a

federal government didn't support these
positions at 100 per cent of the previous
level then it would begin to affect people
working at Lane. At the time he felt
confident the federal funds would come

year.
But the TORCH learned _Tuesday from

Monie selected as new TORCH editor

by Cris Clarke
The LCC TORCH has a new 1976-77
editor.
,
In a Monday, May 3 meeting, the LCC
Media Commission selected Kathleen
Monje from four applicants for the
editorship. Monje, who is currently the
ASLCC Treasurer, received unanimous
support of the commission.
Monje is impressed with the increase in
size of the TORCH in late issues .. "I'd like
to see it stay at a larger volume," she says,
"it gives you a broader scope. " Â·She sees
no major changes that need to be made in
the format or style of the TORCH, but she
may rearrange the production policy of the
paper slightly.
â€¢
'' Perhaps we can get more done on
Monday night,'' Monje says. (Currently
the TORCH is produced primarily on
Tuesday nights.)
"I want to break production up into two
or even three days," she continues, "so
people don't spend as much time in one
night.''
This aspect may open TORCH production work up to other people. "It would be
easier for more people with different kinds
of interests to put something into it and get
something out of it."
And about the Media Commission she
says. "It was a hard decision for the
commission to make--and I'm very glad the
other applicants are going to work on the
paper next year."
She says the three other applicants have
indicated that they will be returning to the

TORCH next year. The three are: Sally
Oljar and Michael Riley, cur-rent TORCH
reporters. and Peter Huhtula, formerly of
the Astoria High School '' Astor Post.''
Monje says that the qualifications of the
three lead her to feel fortunate to have an
experienced prospective staff.
"Their writing ability, their level of
enthusiasm and their general knowledge of

journalism impressed me," says Monje.
She has not made any determinations as to
who she will pick for her staff positions, but
Monje is preparing herself to take the
TORCH responsibilities by working production every week. She will also
supervise one issue of the paper later on
this term.

Second cardiac arrest 1his year-

LCC student suffers fatal heart attack
by Michael Riley
Forty-seven year old LCC student
Kunigunde "Connie" J. Loeblein, suffered
a fatal heart attack in the Student Health
Services area last Wednesday, April 29.
Loeglein was one of three women
enrolled in the insurance adjusting program.
"It's a very frightening experience for
us, this is the second cardiac arrest we've
had this year,'' Laura Oswalt, LCC Health
Services coordinator told the TORCH.
Oswalt also said that Loeblein entered
the Student Health Center '' . . . around
8:30 Wednesday morning and complained
of not feeling well.'' Loeblein had also told
the Health Center that while driving to
school she had experienced a tight feeling
in her chest and in both of her arms.

LCC art students display and sell their home-grown pots in the cafeteria Monday and
Tuesday.

Oswalt added that the Health Center had
checked Loeblein 's blood pressure and
heart rate intermittently from the time she
came in until "around 11:00 or 11:30."
The tests checked normal, said Oswalt.
She reported that Loeblein said that she
felt better, and went to the restroom. On
her way back to the cot room in the Health
Center she told the doctor that she felt
better although she went back to lie down,
Oswalt said.
Oswalt said the doctor looked in on her a
few minutes later and Loeblein was
starting to have a cardiac arrest. "We

immediately started cardiac massage on
her,'' Oswalt said. '' Another nurse started
mouth-to-mouth resuscitat~on and we
called for the ambulance."
The ambulance arrived about 10 minutes
later. All this time the Student Health
Center personnel maintained her vitaT
functions through cardiac massage and
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Oswalt continued to say that the
ambulance attendant$ hooked her up to an
electrocardiograph and began giving her
intravenous medication. But Oswalt
reports it was difficult to move Loeblein to
the ambulance because of students who
were in the way.
According to Oswalt, Sacred Heart
Hospital told the Health Service Center
that LCC personnel had done everything
possible to revive Loeblein. She also said
that ''It's just one of those tragedies ... in
a college health service you don't expect to
see in one year two peopleÂ· have cardiac
arrests.''
Judy Weller, ASLCC Senator, was a
close friend of Loeblein. She told the
TORCH that she felt " . . . the Health
Services Center did everything humanly
possible for Connie."

the money taken by â€¢ government is

All in all, Pres. Ford was right in vetoing
the bill which Mr. Weaver voted for. That

Nathan gives opinion
Dear Editor:
Perhaps the following will indicate why I
believe I should be elected to Congress as a
representative from the 4th district.
During a recent news conference I was
asked how I differed from the incumbent.
One area of major disagreement would be
with Mr. Weaver's recent statement on the
"jobs" bill. He said he was disappointed
that President Ford vetoed it. I think Mr.
Weaver has oyerlooked the Jong range
economic effects of that legislation.
The salaries of the newly hired persons
who would be provided with jobs under any
type of ' 'make-work" legislation are paid
for by present workers. Government
doesn't have any money it doesn't get from
the working members of society. In order
for government to hire more people, it
must take more from those who are

slowly-but-surely trying to eliminate all the
benefits that the; Veterans have. The most
recent move was to cut the Federal V.A.
Budget back to $1.1 bi11ion. In doing so, Â·
they wiJI not build the much needed 8 V.A.
hospitals that were going to be built. In
addition to this they are going to cut back
at the time limitation in which we Veterans
have to use our educational assistance
benefits from 10 years to 8 years. Their
rationale behind this is that they wil1 save
$600 mi1Hon by not anowing Veterans to
attend school under the G.I. BiH.
One thing that really bothered me as I
watched the people move about in the
cafeteria was the Jack of concern by the
Faculty, Staff and Administrators to
become involved in what we are trying to
do. They seem to have the notion that what
concerns students, doesn't concern them.
When LCC loses students becÂ·a use the G.I.
Bill is eliminated, where will you instructors teach? We students are responsible
for your being able to work in such a fine
school such as LCC. Without students,
what and who do you instruct? What I am
trying to say is that what concerns the
students also concerns you. Wait until
Fall Term when we have lost 25 percent (o~

more) of our Veterans now attending LCC
and Mr. Eldon Shafer decides to cut back
on instructors, programs, etc., etc. This is
not even taking into consideration tutition
increases, and inflation.
I certainly hope that your not being
involved in what concerns an of us here at
C..CC will not cost you your job.

Whol istic childbirth â€¢
Birth withoutâ€¢violence
an alternativeÂ· to

processes that ~pset
natural childbirth.
by Kathleen Monje and Sherri Shaffer
''We are products of about 1,500 years of
bad birth," says Susan Arms, author of
Immaculate Deception. She and Richard
Miles, a .representativ e of the Wholistic
Childbirth Institute of San Francisco, spoke
at LCC on Friday, April 30.
Arms and Miles discussed present
medical practicing in childbirth and
alternatives available to women, at noon in
Center rm. 223. Arms, who has appeared
on the "Today Show," said, "Anything
you do to interfere with a natu_ral process
has a tendency to upset that 'process.
Women as a rule have tended to interfere
less in the birthing process than men."
Questioning man's need to "control
nature,'' Miles stated that man is himself
nature's ultimate product, as much a part
of nature as that which he tries to control.
His organization disseminates childbirth
knowledge, both the traditional and more
recent innovations.
''I have a bias toward the medical
pt'ofession limiting its methods to the
demands of insurance companies,'' said
Arms. She noted with 'Surprise that,
"Given what we come to birth with, our
particular cultural warping, birth is still
successful."
.A small turnout of 100 people attended
another lecture on Saturday. ''The
attendance was about one fifth of what we â€¢
expected," stated Cathy Schubert, cofounder of the Institute for Wholistic
Childbirth in Eugene, "But we're not
totally disappointed . We got a lot of
public exposure," she added.
The program, sponsored by LCC's
Women's Awareness Center in conjunction
with the Institute for Wholistic Childbirth,
began with the film '' Birth Without
Violence" by Dr. Frederick Laboyer who
wrote the book by the same name.
Richard Miles, director of communications at the New Dimensions Foundation in
San Fransisco (which defines itself as a
condu"it to the public for new ideas)
answered the audience's questions on the
Laboyer film and related some of the
history of the Laboyer method of birth. He
explained it as a "process of welcoming the
child into the world." he believes that
''the way and process with which the
American sociefy QOW treats childbirth is
like a surgical process that ends a nine
month disease."
But Miles related birth as a process of
opposites, stresses, and relaxations:
"Birth is a process of movement from the
known to the unknown. We try (through
the Laboyer method) to relax the child by
moving him/her back to what he/she
knows. Through sounds and close contact
with the mother we make an effort to give
the child immediate experiences of familiarity so it will feel secure.
"The time immediately beyond birth is
also important," according to Miles. Comparing American and Ugandan babies he
claimed it takes 65 to 80 days for the alarm
system in the body of the American child to
calm down after the trauma of birth, while
it takes the Ugandan child only four. He
attributed this to the constant physical
contact between mother and child the first
four days after birth in the villages of
Uganda. he added, "babies delivered the
Laboyer method are calmed within 15 to 18
hours. ''
Arms, who took over the second half of
the program and whose book the New York
Times Book Review has called " essential
reading for any woman who plans to have a
baby in an American hospital, " referred to
Saturday' s audience as, "The most
pregnant I've ever worked with."

Your .orescrtptton.
our main concern..... ___
, a.3-771i
10tt.Â·& ,lfll~NI

Speaking of her first book '' A Season to
Be Born," Arms told of the,joys of her
pregnancy and the birth of her daughter,
Molly. After realizing she'd been "ripped
off'' by the hospital (''On the delivery table
is no place for a woman to fight for her
rights,") she traveled throughout Europe
and the U.S. researching hospitals as a
journalist.
"You're aware of the birth process and
what's happening to your body until you
walk in the hospital and they ask you to
take off your clothes. Subtly it hits you that
your powers are being taken away. The
ultimate insult is Cesarean_ Section where
the doctor has complete control."

the birth process is all about and what is
going to happen once they enter the
hospit~l. "Mainlythat wehavea choice," :

Music Of The Delta

For many yc:urs rh~ Mississippi Del ta region has been famous as the source of America's most moving and original folk music. Some experts believe that this tradition began in the last century, when local laws prohibited slaves from playing drums
and horns, for fear that they would use these instruments to transmit signals to Africa.
As a result, black musicians were forced to concentrat e on stringed instruments and
vocal music. Delta blues and folk singing, with intricate guitar accompani ments,
became highly developed arts. Urban styles, such as the Chicago blues, grew from
the De Ita tradition.
This musical tradition continues to live and grow in the rural areas and small towns
of the Delta today. On back porches, in juke joints, in logging comps, and on the
plantation s, the country blues and other folk music is still played and enjoyed.

MISSISSIPPI DELTA BLUES BAND- May 7th (Friday)

Health Services

Makes mistaker with adi,ertising

sees increase
in strep thro~t

Nancy Burgess
D.,ring a normal school year the LCC
Health Services sees approximately one
throat infection a week, says Laura Oswalt,
Student Health Services director. This
Â·worked out to about 100 cases a school
year, with three of every 100 cases
diagnosed as positive strep infection. But
by the first of Spring Term, Health
Services had already seen five positive
cases.
The Student Health Services is encouraging students with a history of sore
throats and people w_ith sore glands, and
fevers to stop in and have a throat culture
done. It's harmless and free. After 24
hours the result of your throat culture is
available. Because, says Oswalt, "Strep
throat is a 'Virus' and it should be
treated ." She also went on to say that the
soreness can go away, but the bacteria
stays with you. Untreated or incompletely
treated strep throat can be passed
unknowingly on to others, besides causing
you problems later in life.
Because of the high incident of this
infection the Health Servicelias printed a
pamphlet titled "So You Have Strep
Throat.'' This pamphlet is available free in

Despite a warning from Ken Hills,
Chairer of the LCC Counseling Department, that they "had a bad image from last
years presentations,'' Southwestern Company, a book publishing firm based in
Nashville, Tennessee, held three summer
employment interviews last April 29, and
another on May 4, to recruit students for
door to door sales oositions.
Hills said that last year, after Southwestern held similar interviews on campus,
the LCC Placement Center recieved
student complaints of a great deal of
pressure being exerted to encourage
students to sign a "contract." According
to Southwestern, the "contract" is not
legally binding, but rather an agreement
which it feels is morally binding.
Applicants were informed in the interviews that they would have to relocate for
the summer, and were required to make a
decision to accept the job by the end of the
interview, if they were accepted. The
reason for this immediate decision by
Southwestern representative Bill Stahoski,
is to determine the ability of the applicant
to make choices under pressure.
The applicant wiJI be required to pay

Birch explained that some of the
positions now funded by CET A are more
important to the operation of the college
than other employees funded entirely by
the general budget. The college, he says,
would have to begin prioritizing some of its
employees, and if a CET A employee is
deemed more important to the operation
than someone else, then the CETA
employee will be absorbed into the general
budget. This could mean that someone
else will have to go in order to free up the
necessary funds. "It's hard to think that
there would be any alternative, some
people might lose their positions." He
stressed that any resulting layoffs would be

daimed that his right to equal protection
guaranteed under the 14th Amendnent of
the Constitution had been denied because
of special preference given fo minority
applicants. Alevy is white.
. Reverse discriminati"n became a public
issue as the number of affirmative action
programs for minoÂ·ity groups increased.
With competition for jobs and professional
school slots growing cutthroat, the issue
mushroomed into an emotional and as yet
unsettled controversy. A growing number
of white males have complained that their
constitutional rights were being denied
when programs inÂ· hiring and education
gave preference to minority groups. Suits
charging reverse discrimination have been
filed against universities and professional
schools around the country.
"It would be ironic," said the New York
court in outlining its stand, "were theÂ·
equal protection clause used to strike down
measures designed to achieve real equality
tor persons whom it was intended to- aid.;,
But in acknowledging the constitutional~
ity of reverse discrimination, the court
emphasized that "it must be shown that a
substantial interest underlies the policy
and practice," and that no "less objectional racial classification'â€¢ would serve the
same purpose.

The court also pointed out that it was not

"benign discrimination" policies: "If such

utilization should be diminished."

An out of the ordinary cycle for National Bicycle Week
by Robin Burns
A close friend characterizes John Thomas
as a ''practical geniu s--he' s always comin g
up with sensib le, applicable ideas that sound
so logical when he explai ns them that you
wonder why no one thought of them befor e.''
And Thomas has done just that. He has
invented the Manuped, a radically different,
but practical, kind of bicycle.

The Manuped has a U.S. patent, issued in October of 1975 with patents pending in four
foreign countries. The official patent status takes about two years of red tape and paper
work to become finalized. There are four basic steps to obtaining a patent. The first step
is the "search" conducted by the patent office--researching all patents previously issued,
and the current applications for patent~, to prevent any possible duplication. After the
patent has cleared the search stage, the inventor applies for a patent, usually through a
patent lawyer. â€¢ The application includes specific technical information in precise legal
wording, and a drawing specifying the various mechanical parts. The application for the
Manuped patent lists over SO separate parts, but the trick, says Thomas, ''Is to make it as
specific and as general as possible at the same time."
When the application is accepted, the patent-pend ing status is issued, and then, of
course. the patent itself. All patents expire after 17 years, and Thomas intends to make
as much use as possible in that length of time.
Although the Manuped has taken a great deal of his time, it is by no means the extent
of ~homas' inventing career. He is currently perfecting designs for a spring mechanism
whtch would store the energy normally lost when a bicycle is braking; a body-powered
self-contained submarine; and a body-powered car .
.In hi~ spare time, Thomas paints and plays an on-going championship Monopoly game
wtth friends. Soon he plans to resume work on his doctorate in physics--his emphasis is
on research in gravitatioual theories.
What's left for an encore? It's hard to tell, but it's certain that John Thomas will think
â€¢
of something.

. Accor ding to Thom as, his Manu ped is
lighter, safer, and more efficient than the
traditional bicycle.
Although the safety factor was not one of Thomas' original goals in inventing the
Manuped, he has maintained that it is inherently safer than the standard bike . Safer
because the body is lower to the ground, because the body is braced and supported by the
seat, and because the extended body position makes it less likely to be thrown head-first
on impact.
Last October Thomas had a chance to prove his claim.
He was riding home from campus on an earlier version of his invention and turned the
corner at 15th and High. "Every time I go down that street I make the same turn, but this
time it got me. It was very harrowing for that split-second when I saw the car and knew
that a crash was inevitable. '' He still shudders when he thinks about it.
The car had the right-of-way and Thomas had the yield sign, but his vision was
by a parked van. ''The impact threw me sideways about 40 feet, well, I skidded

As with all of his inventions, before Thomas' Manuped began on the drawing board, he
first-set. his goals for the inventic.n:. The Manuped had to utilize more of the body for
power; it had to be as. sirppfe .and light as possible; and it had to minimize air friction.
He reaches for a pencil .and; holding it firmly in his long, slender fingers, illustrates
how the entire design for the Manuped was conceived on the drawing board. ''This
bicycle was designed entjre]y around the human body,'' explains Thomas as he sketches.
"I started by drawing the huinan body to scale in the position most conducive to
pedaling." Thomas emphasizes that this position Â·is very close to that of a human
running. ''The bext example of efficiency in human movement is a person running. The
body is completely extended--a much more functional position for exerting energy than
the hunched-over position of the traditional bicycle rider,'' he claims. After determining the extended body position, Thomas developed the steering
geometry, which in turn positioned the crank points (hand and foot pedals). "Once I
picked those points, plus the line for the steering axis, I took the scale drawing of the body
and rotated it until the arms and the legs were positioned at the crank points. Then I
simply drew in the rest of the bicycle around the body.''
Thomas' first prototype was a tricycle--it had some minor problems but the steering
mechanisms tested out well. Thomas then decided that a bicycle would be more efficient,
and his two-wheeled Manuped was completed in July, 1974. This second prototype was
mechanically sound, and met Thomas' original criteria: Body power was put to maximum.
use; weight was kept to a minimum through the use of an aluminum frame; and the bodyÂ·
mass was lowered to minimize air friction.
Thomas asserts that learning .to ride the Manuped is different, but no more difficult,
than learning to ride a standard bike. His first attempts at riding it were on a short,
slightly inclined section of sidewalk. "By the fourth or fifth attempt down the incline, I
could power and sustain balance by pedaling all four for 60 yards or so beyond the
incline," he remembers . "By the next day I learned how to-power by pedaling the legs
only, and mastered starting out on level ground by pedaling with all four. I also learned
how to alternately stop and start the pedaling of the arms while continuously pedaling the
legs--the arm and leg pedals are independen t and can be used one at a time, or both
together." By the end of the week, Thomas was riding 12 to 15 miles a day.
"Powering the Manuped feels natural--it's a lot like swimming. You also have control

â€¢ College in triangular track meet.
Two competitors were double winners in
the meet--Ken Bell, who won the triple
jump and the long jump; and Al Shibley, .
who won both tl1e discus and shot put.
The other victorious Titans in their
events were John Miller in the mile, Bob
Person in the 100 yard dash and Rich
Christian in the three mile.
The final scores were as follows:

personal bests feature LCC men. Ken Bell
made a new school record in the triple
jump with a 47'10" effort and a personal
best in the long jump at 22'8". Other
personal bests included Bill Bailey's shot
put of 50'7-3/ 4", John Miller's rrile of
4:19.1, Bob Moore's high jump at 6'8" and
Rich Christian's three mile time of 14:49.6.
After the meet Coach Tarpenning said
he was "real pleased with our win today
because we did move people around in
various positions to experiment ... before
the conference and regional championships, and we hope to have some of our
better kids back with us next week--(Gary)
Barnes, (Joel) Johnson and (Dennis)
Cooper to give us some strength."
On next week's conference championships the coach said that Clackamas and
Southwestern both look like strong competitors.
The championships will be held at Lane
this coming Friday and Saturday, May 7
and 8, with the starting time at 2:45
Friday and 11:30-on Saturday.

"We can take the conference," says Al Shibley, dual winner last week in the shot and
discus, "(Gary) Barnes didn't run at all and wÂ·e still handled 'em without our key people."
Kenny Bell, another dual winner in theÂ·long and triple jumps, "Ain't no way we can be
beat. Hell, if we get down, we should finish 1, 2, 3, in the long jump ... Russ (Lamb) and
Darrell (Grimes) and myself have all gone over 22 feet. All we got to do is keep from
scratching.''
Bell has had some problems alright ... over a three meet period he had 12 scratches in
a row (a scratch is when you step over the line when starting your jump). Shibley
admittedly has problems too, but always seems to _be goodÂ· enough for the wins. Both
attribute much of their success this year to Al Tarpenning's assistant, Rainer Stenius
(Ry-ner Sten-ee-us).
Rainer had to make an emergency trip to Finland where his mother was ill and missed
two weeks of the season. Both athletes missed his counsel and coaching.

Proposed CETA cuts may cost jobs

by Mike McLain
LCC President Eldon Schafer will
recommend to the Board of Education
Wednesday that most General Budget
support for Comprhensive Employment
and Training Act (CETA) positions be
eliminated--a move that could cost some
people-and not necessarily just ( ETA
employees-their job at LCC.
In addtion to this, a bill being considered
Â·Jy the United States Congress just may
help squeeze some of those people out the
door.
In an attempt to reduce the budget for
the second election (scehduled for June 29)
Schafer will recommend to- drop $195,510
local tax support that the Bud~~t Committee had included in the defeated bu<!get.

Ex-TORCH editor
fills ODE editor slot
Â·Former TORCH Editor Rick Bella
was named Managing Editor of the
Oregon Daily Emerald, the University of Oregon daily newspaper last
Wednesday.
Bella served as TORCH Editor
Winter and Spring Terms in 1975
and from there moved into the
Political Associate Editor slot of the
Emerald. He served in that position
until his promotion last week .
Bella cited a desire to remedy
what he termed a "Lack of coordination between the news and the
graphics departments" for his decisi9n to apply for the position vacated
by the resignation of Dennis Phaff on
April 9.
While Bella will fill the position
only untill the end of Spring Term
and will have to reapply for the job
for next year he fells there is a good
chance he will retain the position for
the 1976-77 school year.
In addition to his new duties,
which include supervising a staff of
nearly 70 people, Bella is also
employed by United Press Interna- '
tional (UPI) as a Eugene correspondent while attending the U of 0
where he is majoring in Journalism.
Bella felt his exprience with LCC's
journalism program and his involvment with the TORCH "provided me
with a broad exposure to Journalism.
1 found my experience there made
me at least competive with people
who were going to four year
institutions."
Bella was appointed to the position
by outgoing Emerald editor Jim
Gregory, who served as TORCH
editor in 1972-73.The Emerald has a

Monie selected as new TORCH editor

by Cris Clarke
The LCC TORCH has a new 1976-77
editor. ,
In a Monday, May 3 meeting, the LCC
Media Commission selected Kathleen
Monje from four applicants for the
editorship. Monje, who is currently the
ASLCC Treasurer, received unanimous
support of the commission.
Monje is impressed with the increase in
size of the TORCH in late issues .. ''I'd like
to see it stay at a larger volume," she says,
"it gives you a broader scope ." Â·She sees
no major changes that need to be made in
the format or style of the TORCH, but she
. may rearrange the production policy of the
paper slightly.
â€¢
'' Perhaps we can get more done on
Monday night," Monje says. (Currently
the TORCH is produced primarily on
Tuesday nights.)
"I want to break production up into two
or even three days," she continues, "so
people don't spend as much time in one
night.''
This aspect may open TORCH production work up to other people. "It would be
easier for more people with different kinds
of interests to put something into it and get
something out of it."
And about the Media Commission she
says. "It was a hard decision for the
commission to make--and I'm very glad the
other applicants are going to work on the
paper next year."
She says the three other applicants have
indicated that they will be returning to the

TORCH next year. The three are: Sally
Oljar and Michael Riley, cur,rent TORCH
reporters. and Peter Huhtula, formerly of
the Astoria High School '' Astor Post.''
Monje says that the qualifications of the
three lead her to feel fortunate to have an
experienced prospective staff.
"Their writing ability, their level of
enthusiasm and their general knowledge of

Second cardiac arrest this year-

LCC student suffers fatal heart attack
by Michael Riley
Forty-seven year old LCC student
Kunigunde "Connie" J. Loeblein, suffered
a fatal heart attack in the Student Health
Services area last Wednesday, April 29.
Loeglein was one of three women
enrolled in the insurance adjusting program.
"It's a very frightening experience for
us, this is the second cardiac arrest we've
had this year,'' Laura Oswalt, LCC Health
Services coordinator told the TORCH.
Oswalt also said that Loeblein entered
the Student Health Center '' . . . around
8:30 Wednesday morning and complained
of not feeling well.'' Loeblein nad also told
the Health Center that while driving to
school she had experienced a tight feeling
in her chest and in both of her arms.

LCC art students display and sell their home-grown pots in the cafeteria Monday and
Tuesday.

Oswalt added that the Health Center had
checked Loeblein's blood pressure and
heart rate intermittently from the time she
came in until "around 11:00 or 11:30."
The tests checked normal, said Oswalt.
She reported that Loeblein said that she
felt better, and went to the restroom. On
her way back to the cot room in the Health
Center she told the doctor that she felt
better although she went back to lie down,
Oswalt said.
Oswalt said the doctor looked in on her a
few minutes later and Loeblein was
starting to have a cardiac arrest. "We

immediately started cardiac massage on
her,'' Oswalt said. '' Another nurse started
mouth-to-mouth resuscitat~on and we
called for the ambulance."
The ambulance arrived about 10 minutes
later. All this time the Student Health
Center personnel maintained her vitaT
functions through cardiac massage and
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Oswalt continued to say that the
ambulance attendant-$ hooked her up to an
electrocardiograph and began giving her
intravenous medication. But Oswalt
reports it was difficult to move Loeblein to
the ambulance because of students who
were in the way.
According to Oswalt , Sacred Heart
Hospital told the Health Service Center
that LCC personnel had done everything
possible to revive Loeblein. She .also sa~d
that "It's just one of those tragedies ... m
a college health service you ~on't expect. to
see in one year two people have cardiac
arrests.' '
Judy Weller, ASLCC Senator, was a
close friend of Loeblein. She told the
TORCH that she felt " . . . the Health
Services Center did everything humanly
possible for Connie.''
