@ne . CommUJtitg College Vol. 14 No. 12 January 6, 1977 4000 East 30th Eugene Oregon 97405 Health insurance Information Booth featured at Valley River Center boasts increased benefits by John Brooks For an extra $. 75 per term over last year students participating in the group medical program offered through LCC's Stu~ent Activities office will receive $240 more medical coverage, says Evelyn Tennis, secretary for the office. The premium increase is for $125 of the additional coverage anq is for the new maternity coverage that is required by the Federal government. This must be paid by ·both men and women, she added . The rest of the extra coverage is as follows : $50 extra for miscellaneous hospital expenses, $50 extra for maximum surgical expenses, and $15 extra for outpatient diagnostic X-ray and laboratory expenses, Tennis explained. The cost for a single student per term last year was $16. 75 and the cost this year is $1,750. According to the information _brochure, this general insurance policy (there are no individual policies . according to Tennis) cove rs accidents, sickness and major medical experlses 24 hoers a day for students and their dependents, even if the student is taking only one class or drops out of school after . p_urchasing the insurance. A student's age or medical· history does not effect a student's eligibility, added Tennis. This does not include, mainly, routine checkups and physicals, dental work - unless a policyholder's teeth are damaged in an accident, and replacement of glasses or contact lenses or prescriptions for either. This insurance will also not cover a student/ policy-holder working at, "any occupation for wage or profit," states the brochure . There are other conditions and benefits and for more information a student should get in contact with Evelyn Tennis on the second floor of the Center Building. According to Tennis, this particular insurance is "extra good;" she said that "nowhere else could students get insurance at this cost ." She went on to cite a couple of cases in which a student was suddenly in need of medical attention. One had appendicitis during the second week of fall term and the other twisted a knee and would have to have dropped from school to earn money to pay for treatment. Tennis said major medical expenses are paid as follows : The student pays the first $100 and after that the insurance company pays 80 per cent and the student pays 20 per cent of the bill. Tennis pointed to two fuli flies of student accident reports and said she counted only 12 cases where the students had Insurance coverage. She flipped through a large stack of accident reports from the other file and explained that those represented students didn't have insurance at all. What sort of accidents were they? Tennis answered that they were generally fall, accidents with machines, and sporting injuries. Laura Oswalt, Health Services Coordincontinued on p. 3 by Sally Oljar A new kind of service is being offered to shoppers at Valley River Center - on December 15, LCC opened its "Information Booth' ' to assist citizens in gathering information about the college and the Community Education Program. Catalogues, brochures, and admission applications are available to citizens, in addition to the computerized guidance system designed to help people choose suitiable occupations and training programs. Staff people, working behind the counter, are prepared to answer questions about the college and its · programs. If a question can't be answered by a staff person, a phone is available to call the college for an immediate response. According to Ken Hills, Counseling Department head and coordinator of the project , the booth "combines all the campus information sources into one ce nter." The LCC Board of Education has allotted $15,000 to fund the project for six months, $5000 less than was originally requested. Dean of Instruction Operations Gerald Rassmussen told the Board at its December 8 meeting that hopefully the booth "will generate FfE from the community." (45 hours of classes over three terms is one Full Time Equivalent student. For example, a student may take 15 hours for three terms, or three students may take five hours for the same three terms. Any combination is possible, and the college averages approximately three individuals to make one FfE). Hills said that 1100 persons had been counted by staff pJiple in the first two weeks of the the booth's operation. At the end of February, VRC officials will decide if the mall is an appropriate location for the booth. This will also provide the college the opportunity to evaluate how "helpful it (the booth) is," Hills said. So far, he said, citizens have responded to the booth in a positive manner. Some citizens, for example, were unaware of how much is offered by the college. He added that the location of the booth has provided an easier access to campus information. photo by Jeff Hayden The college is bringing its programs .to the community at its new information booth, located at Valley River Center. .-------News in brief-------"----'Friday Night Dead or Alive' by Bruno Cohen "Friday Night Dead or Alive," a spoof about television news, will be cablecast on cable station KOZY (Channel 11) at 11 :30 p. m . on January 7, 1977. The half-hour show, produced by students in LCC's Mass Communication Dept., consists of humor.o us news stories, features, and ''advertisements.'' According to Executuive Producer Rachel Gille, special features during the program include an on-the-spot report from ''The Gut,'' an appearance of the winner of the David Brinkley look-alike contest, and ·some never-to-be-forgotten TV commercials . Production for the show was completed prior to the end of Fall • Term. Mike Hopkinson, chairman of the Mass Communication Dept. reviewed the finished tape and gave its student producers the OK to book time on KOZY for Jan. 7. "Friday Night Dead or Alive" took to be aired on K O l Y - - - - - more than eight weeks to produce and involved tlie efforts of more than 20_ people. Students in the LCC Television Production Program claim credit for the bulk of the project; however, contributions from a variety of Eugenians are evident in the final product, including local performers of both amateur and professional standing.

His fi_rm drew the plans for the complex. The project was to incllfde a SO-meter multi-purpose swimming pool, departmental offices for the Health and PE Dept., handball/racquetball courts, weight rooms, dance studi~~. and locker rooms. It was to cost approximately S4. 9 mfllion and all the funding was to comP from the federal grant from the Economic _ Development Administration that was offered for local public works (to qualifying projects) to help ease unemployment. Mention said that "it was a btg 1 disappointment ~or us" and that he .vas "waiting for instructions" from . the college as what to do next. •Page 2 ·- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - T O R C H - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - J a n u a r y 6, 1977 Letters to the Editor Ex-sailor alarmed by tanker wrecks To the Editor: As a former sailor I have been watching with growing alarm the number of Liberian tankers that have been wrecking. especially the one off Nantucket. I am sorry that the _only people who seemed concerned are the ·people in .Massachusetts who are crying to Ford for federal aid. What I find even more alarming is the fact that we seem·to have no way of acting quickly when something like the Nantucket incident occurs. People just stood around while the ,ship sank into the mud, leaked 9il, and finally broke up. Now there is 150 square miles_ of oil out in the Atlantic bound for who knows where. Does anyone seem to care? No, no one but the media who seem to be like vultures waiting for it to cause .a disaster so that they may reap from the spoil and damage. I am almost sorry that it didn't hit the US coast so that we may feel the pain of an oil slick and hopefully 4o something about it next time. It seems to me that the· laws governing the seas have either become so lax or so outdated as to allow men with mere grade school educations and ships so poorly built and poorly run to carry all sorts of d~ngerous cargoes is sheer madness. They are potentially bombs as bad or worse than the atomic bombs everyone is so concerned about . Right now we are . inflicting many wounds upon the ocean consciously by dumping all sorts of things into it. Accidents only bring the day closer when the oceans shall hold no more life, 'just our junk. I hope that some readers are concerned enougb to write to their congressmen and the governor saying they want to see something done for it is only a matter of time before a tanker runs ashore on the beautiful Oregon Coast.

The struggle to free them, which has been growing over the last several months, represe~ts in a microcosm look for more permanent work. They came to Oregon where they met Lonnie Davis, who had been laid off from a Missouri highway constructjon project and was also . traveling, looking for work. Both men hoped to prune trees but due to warm weather couldn't find any work. Bornson and Davis went to the unemployment office two or three times a week looking for jobs, too poor to live in anything but the old school bus in a state park. They received emergency welfare assistance in December and January, and to raise money for gas a~a rent they sold their blood. But in January they were told they had exhausted their emergency funds and were not eligible for any more assistance because they lacked a "permanent address," Jhe kind of disgusting excuse the unemployment and welfare offices are .1 tion and anger at a system which leads to the impoverishment of the masses on the one hand, the accumulation of capital in the hands of the privileged few on the other. Is it so surprising that two unemployed workers "exceeded the proper limits" with such an action when thousands of unemployed just like them are thrown out of their jobs and stand day after day in long lines, many times facing the denial of benefits and the prospect of not being able to feed their families? With massive, long-term unemployment increasing and with unemploymen t benefits being cu t back in many places these kinds of spontaneous actions where the unem ployed take matters into their own hands will surely increase .

The Shah must also realize that SA VAK has its work cut out for them if they intend to snuff out the growing insurgency of Iranian dissidents in the United States. The past two years have seem the rise of the Iranian Students Association (ISA) on campuses from coast to coast, making it the most active student political group in the United States. Recent disclosures linking the CIA with illegal SAVAK activities, as well as with Chile's DINA and South Korea 's KCIA , have helped gain American supporters for the ISA.

No, this isn't a lifestyle built around a new kind of freeze-dried coffee ... androgynous living, according to Fraileigh, is the process of "breaking down sex roles ," and becoming "liberated people." Fraileigh's discussion was sponsored by the Women's Awareness Center, and dealt derisive blows to such stereotypes as " fascinating womanhood" and the " self. sufficient man." Fraleigh teaches halftime , with three classes in human sexuality, and counsels in a wide range .of areas on campuses . Fraleigh contends its natural • ' for people to be sexual." '' What determines the choice of sexual partners (such as homosexual , heterosexual) is a cultural overlay," he says. Such cultural overlays, according to Fraileigh, begin from the time the doctor says: " It's Cultural stereotypes , he a boy I" suggests, are perpetuated in society through schools and through church communities. But tension is created when ·a person's self-determin ed "sex roles" conflict with the norms of society. In addition to cultural resistance, Fraleigh identified several problems that stand m the way of ones quest to become a "liberated person." •People, he says, need to be convinced that they are "bound" by such stereotypes hPfore they will see a need to change. • Fralei~h also notes that sex-stereotypes are a convenient set of rules for people to Hve by, and some may have · problems finding alternative rules for androgynous living. •Converts to the androgynous concept may have trouble finding "liberated people'' after whom to model their behavior. And a person trying to "reform" needs positive reinforcemen t, says Fraileigh, if he/she is to be successful in landing a "secure sex-role." He gave the example of a liberated woman living with a not-so-liber ated man who is trying to "mend his ways." The woman may perceiye her "partner's" attempts to change his behavior ;small or insignificant. But she can help ihis adjustment by recognizing and Teward ing the progress of the ''liberated-pe rsonto-be."

This new service started last December 13, after several years of study and planning, says Dial-A-Bus Representative Carla Chambers. Before that time senior citizens and handicapped persons had been awarded some special attention -- primarily discounts, (paying 10 cents to go anywhere on the LTD bus routes instead of 30 cents. Senior citizens possessed a_Senior Identification Card and handicapped persons had a Special Services ID card, according to a report on Dial-A-Bus issued last February. But the new Dial-A-Bus takes many peopl~ to afew places, as compared to the many-to-one system which the report suggests is too restrictive, and many-tomany, which is too costly, says the report. The busses will take a patron "curb to curb" which the report explains to mean that, "Patrons must be able to meet the bus by the curb in front of their home and must be able to reach their final destination from the curb where the driver leaves them." The special busses used in this program have lifts for wheel chairs but drivers are not able to act as attendants by calling for customers at their doors, nor will drivers be able to escort passe_ngers into buildings or offices at their destinations. Customers must provide their own attendants if they need them and the attendant or any party with the customer, up to five in number, may ride without charge. The r~port explains that there are four Dial-A-Bus zones within the urbanized area of Eugene-Springfeild. It adds that these four zones overlap in the Eugene central business district. One Dial-A-Bus vehicle is assigned to each zone and ''to travel to any destination outside the zone of origin and not included in the overlap area, it will generally be necessary to transfer to a vehicle assigned to the zone in which the destination is located." The cost of riding Dial-A-Bus is 60 cents and transfers to any other vehicle is free. To transfer from a regular bus to a Dial-A-Bus costs 30 cents, adds the report. The reason Dial-A-Bus is so expensive (compared with the 30 cents charged for riding a regular bus) is, "it is two to three times as exspensive to provide (Dial-ABus) as it is (to provide) fixed route service," the report explained. 1be 27 destinations that are served are: •In The North Eugene Zone - Fred Meyer, Oatway Mall, Valley River Center, and K-Mart. •In the South Eu enc Zone - A Perfect Diamond.

Box 787 Lucas~ille, Ohip :4~648 u Language Arts Department satisfying students needs The Language Arts Department winter schedule shou ld do a better job of satisfying student needs. The staff has shifted some emphasis from traditional literature sequences to skills courses. The depar tme nt has cancelled one section each of English Literature, World Literature, Shakespeare .and Imaginative Writing . substituting sections of Writing 121. The department has had difficulty trying to satisfy the demand for Writing 121 every quarter for th e past two years. College ed ucational priorities have been established to place skills courses high on the pec king order. The trad itiona l literature sequences have experienced steadily dwindling demand over the past five or six years. The department hopes they wil l not fade out entirely, but feels obliged to recognize established college goals. The Office of Instruction has made it possible to expand the department's basic English offerings also. by supplying some critical extra dollars . There will be seven sections of Writing 120, distributed evenly at prime times throughout the week. Basic English courses have been in and out, like daylight savings time, but now they are in again. Karen Lansdowne and Sheila Juba have designed an effective course as a pass/ no-pass . variable credit approach to remediation that looks like a winner. By offering seven sections. the department feels able for the first time to provide help to a significant number of students. The department has also revamped their ' tutoring program under the direction of Delta Sanderson. That program has the ability to provide help for students in any aspect of the department offerings including writing. literature and foreign languages . There is a continuing need for able student tutors, who may be able to qualify for work study or may tutor for credit under the Supervised Field Experience designation. Students being'°'tliloted may also earn credit for time spent in that way . The course designation for that credit is Language Laboratory. The department is continuing Communications Skills without significant change for all occupational students . Continuous editing of packages and shifting emphasis have developed that program into a highly successful and popular sequence. 'Honesty is the best policy' (CPS)--Score a point for the old chestnut, "honesty is the best policy." John Thompson, a sixteen year old high school student in Norfolk, Virginia, recently found two $20 bills on the floor of his school bus. Despite taunts from his buddies , Thompson turned the cash over to the bus drjver even though he didn't have enough money for lunch . Shortly after the incident, a story about his honesty was published in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot and since then the youngster has received $1,535 in cash and checks, shoes, turkey, hams and clothes. Richmond postman Thomas Cannon sent a $1,000 check , praising Thompson's ''monumental honesty and integrity." The boy's mother, Carolyn Thompson, said "I was upset at first 'Y-h en some of his classmates ca1led him stupid for turning in the money. We're not poor, but we're in need. Still, there are some other people out there who need it more."

The Duke University Chronicle recently took the plunge and came up with the juicy fact that the Duke president pulled in $60 ,000 a year and five other medical school administrators rake in Needless to say , the eve n more . administrators were a bit embarrassed. The Chronicle reporters got their info through the Freedom of Information Act, an admirable attempt , but there is an easier way . It goes like this: 1) Write your local Internal Revenue Service office and tell them you want Form 990. Include the name, address and phone number of the institution you have in mind, . along with your name, address and phone n11mher . _ 2) The IRS then requests the info from it~ division that deals with Form 990. Tnen, the IRS division that deals with the public receives the form and calls you ·in to look at it.

Results of that game were not available at press time. Next in line is Blue Mountain , slated The here Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Timberwolves are led by 5' 10" guard Brent Merriman, an Oregon high school All-State selection for two years. Lane then travels to Portland to face a weak Judson Baptist contingent Wednesday in another 7:30 p.m. game. Although their 4-7 record isn't up to par to those of past blue and white cage crews, consider that only two players returned from last' year, no one_stands over 6'5", and the Titan 's non-conference schedule has been thei r ''toughest one ever,'' according to Bates. Included in that .challenging non-count action was the No. 1 ranked junior college team in the nation, College of Southern Idaho. Lane was in contention until the very end before losing, 81-69, with only a few key missed shots making the difference in that opening game of the Bend Rotary Tournament December 20. "I was very pleased with the comback effort and thought they played an outstanding game despite losing," commented Bates. Behind at the break 46-32, Lane roared back in the second half to outscore CSI, 37-35, on the strength of John Hassler's inside scoring and some hot shooting from the field. Hassler, a sophomore from Grants Pass, led Lane with 22 points while the team fired at a scorching •59 percent clip for the game. "Playing a top. team like CSI will help us greatly in conference play," added Bates. After that great game, however, the Titans fell back into their rut of inconsis- tency that had plagued them earlier in the s'easm;, losing their next three games. Against CSI, Lane shot well enough to win but lost the battle on the boards . On December 11, against Linn-Benton in the losers bracket of the Bend tourney. they out rebounded their taller rivals, 38-23, but could only shoot 42 percent and Spo rts lost a squeaker, . 68-66. Hassler tied with Pleasant Hill freshman Keith Baltzer for scoring honors with 18 points. Pitted against perennial power Mt. Hood December 23 in GEesham , Lane again failed to get untracked until the second half and lost, 80-SS. Bates allowed "the way the kids came back in the second half showed me a lot of pride, " but that's about all the good he could say of their performance . MHCC outrebounded Lane 42-29, held them to only three foul shots for the game and prevented any Titans from reaching double figures in scoring. Then, facing a strong Grays Harbor team December 28 away in their last game of 1976, Lane suffered another tough loss in a contest that wasn't decided until the final moments, bowing 79-73. Following that last loss, Bates assessed his teams' weaknesses. "We need work on our defense and shooting,·' he explains, "an d we also have to gain more consistency.'• One strength that especially pleases him, however, is his squads' lead in total rebounds against opponents . With preseason play out of the way. Bates and his cagers are looking forward to conference action and a possible reversal of form. The fourth year mentor forcasts his club will finish in the top three in league . With the valuable experience the young, short and inexperienced Titans picked up through their tough non-counting sched ule, that seems entirely possible.

Women netters slate deb ut with Ump qua Coach Sue Thompson and her women's basketball squad open their regulation play with high hopes against Umpqua tomorrow in a contest here at 5:00 p.m . "I just can't think of any weaknesses right now,'' offered the first year coach. Even a noticeable lack of height fails to dim her hopes. "They're a talented group of hard working players with a lot of skills. They have good ballhandling skills and the quickness to fast bre~k." she adds. Thompson, who inherited the coaching reins ·and four returners from Debbie Daggett, has a hard act to follow.. Last year, the Lane women tied for first in league and went on to capture fifth place in regional competition . Thompson has set similar goals for her current crew and the team has adopted the ·slogan ''March in Montana,'' the time and site of the 1977 regionals . An early season non-counting game against Linfield validates her aspirations. "We ·were behind 26-13 at halftime but came bade in the se·cond half to score 41 points and win, 54-52," she explained. "That got us going. We should have beaten them 80-50." Following Umpqua tomorrow night, the Titan women host the Oregon College of Education JV's Monday night.

The audience is treated to a taste of what the backstage scene of a rock concert is like, and Kristofferson performs the first half of one of his two songs, which sounds like it would be pretty good, if only he .could get through all of it. Unfortunately, although he starts the song four times during the movie, he never gets through more than half of it. Who does Barbra Streisand think she is? Orson Welles? Streisand proves herself a star of many facets by co-producing, costuming, composing for, as well as starring in the third re-make of "A Star Is Born." It is an ambitious project, worthy of Orson Welles, and Streisand handles each task faultlessly. Oh, and she sings. Brilliantly. Often.

"Enfo rce r'' best ''Dirty Harry" yet by John Brooks "The Enforcer" is third in the series of Dirty Harry movies starring Clint Eastwood as a San Francisco homicide inspector. I consider it the best because Eastwood displays a minute amount of emotion, which is more emotion that all his other movies put together would equal. But "The Enforcer" is as violent as the other two, with Harry's "cannon" of a gun blowing away the bad guyfi! and with a couple of chases [to which are added some new weapons, like M-16 army rifles and anti-tank rockets.] There are a few stabbings, an autopsy, and a lot of bodies spattered with blood, two of which are Harry's partnen. As the movie progresses, Harry's tough, macho image is thawed some. After his first partner is stabbed, Harry's next partner turns out to be a woman. At first he hardly talks with her', feeling that he has been insulted by having a woman assigned . to a job which he considers must be filled by a man. But the woman proves herself to be worth her salt by not allowing Harty to protect her from tasks that are dangerous, hard or shocking. And she gets a number of surprises. but sticks with him and eventually saves Harry's life, not once but twice. "Cabaret" tickets going fast Tickets are nearly sold out for the Winter Term theatre production of "Cabaret," even though ticket sales began within the last few days. Opening night is Feb. 4. Production Coordinator Dick Reid said there have been no plans made as yet for extra performanc es. Some tickets remain for two of the six scheduled shows, and if these seats are also sold, t'1e Performing Arts Departme nt will consider extra performances for Feb. 7 and 8, Reid said. Reid attributed the fast ticket sales to "unusually good mail----order business," and supposed that a '' good many of them were for Christmas" presents. Approxim ately 50 students and community members auditioned for the Lane Community .College winter production of the musical ''Cabaret." After five days of trial and error, Director Ed Ragozzino had cast all of the 36 roles. "Cabaret" is the second production of the season for the performin g arts department ; following a successful run of Neil Simon's "The Good Doctor" in December. The play takes place in pre-World War II Berlin, a time whe'n everything was a party, and having a good time was part of the lifestyle.

Nicola Crafts, a dance instructor at LCC, plays the part of Sally Bowles, featured entertainer of the club. It is in the club where she meets her lover, Cliff Bradshaw. played by Tim Jolley, an American novelist trying to conjure up a story.

Schnieder is constantly bickering with a boarder, Fraulein Kost, played by Jan Koenig, who enjoys entertainin g sailors. Ernst Ludwig, played by Dan Mayes, introduces his friends and neighbors to the Nazi ideology throughout the story, yet it's not until later in the play everyone becomes fully aware of the seriousness of the Nazi power. Tickets for Cabaret are available at the box office in the LCC Performing Arts Theatre from 12-5 p.m., Mon~y through Friday. Admission is $4 per ticket and all seats are reserved. Film review 'The Pn< PaltierSlri<es ~ - Se lie rs returns as Clouseau By John Brooks At my first Pink Panth_e r movie, I found the main character of ''The Pink Panther Strikes Again,'' Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) of the French police, to be a Laurel or Hardy trying to be James Bond or Henri Poirot. Clouseau practices oriental self-defense by sparring with his oriental servant and -. attacking innocent and harmless objects such as punching bags and empty suits of armour. When he has fl chance to realJy use self defense, he hope]ess]y displays his badge and is saved by a crowd in a gay bar. Inspector Clouseau makes a number of deductions varying from obvious to blatantly obvious, but they lead him into bizarre situations that he manages to blunder through, including secret agents and a beautiful wornan, castles and extravagan t suites.
