homemaker bill

by Kathleen Monje
Calling herself a "late-blooming feminist," Laurie Shields, head of the Alliance
for Displaced Homemakers , came to
Eugene and LCC last Friday to support
Oregon state representat ive Nancy Fadeley's bill for displaced homemakers.
Shields defines the displaced homemaker as '' a woman in her middle years
who finds herself alone , because she is
either widcwed or divorced." Shields, 56,
has experienced the same problem many of
these women have; when they try to
re-enter the job market, they find they
have "no marketable (or discernable)
skills , she said. ''To our generation,
marriage was a forever thing -- we bought
the whole package.''

Arizonan impressed with staff

College fills KLCC post
by Kathleen Monje
An Arizonan is the second KLCC
employee hired by the Mass Communication Department--Samuel I. Hochberg, on
his way to Eugene now, is the station's new
Operations Manager.
The operations manager (or program
director) handles the day-to-day running of
the station, including the decisions about
which programs are aired at what time.
"A public station involves what's
happening in the community," Hochberg
told the TORCH, but added "I won't be
there to run the show--the station manager
makes policy.''
Hochberg spent two years at Northern
Arizona University's NAU public station,

KAXR. He first served as its public affairs
director, then spent a year directing its
programming, essentially the same job he
will have here.
Hochberg has also had professional
experience as an announcer and advertising salesman at KNAV, a commercial
station in Sedona, Arizona.
He also earned his degree in telecommunication from NAU, and in addition to his
radio training has produced television
programs, including writing scripts and
doing camera work.
He has had no formal teaching experi- •
ence, but said "I feel qualified to teach, l
depending on what the class is.'' He feels, •
however, that the station will probably be
at least a full-time job.

His work at
KAXR required supervision
of a student
staff of sixty,
and the organization and
teaching of
radio
workshops.
When asked
about his reasons for comming here, Hochberg said
"Eugene seems like a good place to live,"
referring to both the area and its people. ,
Hochberg was impressed with KLCC's
volunteer staff. He called them "a
capable, dedicated bunch of people."

Story and photo by Michael Riley
Astrology fascinates many people,
from the horoscope seekers who read
the daily paper to those who devote
their entire lives studying the effects
of the stars on our day-to-day living.
Somewhere in that broad group I
stand, jumping at the chance to find
out what may or may not happen to me
at any given moment. So, with tape
recorder and camera in hand I set off
to have my "chart read" by Esther
Leinbach, local astrologer and instructor of a basic astrology course here at
LCC.
My appointment was on Monday, I
arrived late, after getting lost and
learning' that Leinbach lives less than
half a mile from me.
Finally
appearing on her doorstep, I was
invited to come inside to her work
area. She asked me for the date and
exact time of my birth; this helps
apparently in constructing the chart.
The chart looked like a circle with a
number of symbols on it, symbols that
would tell Leinbach about my life.
Leinbach explained that she has
always been curious about astrology
and related subjects. She found
astrology to be '' ... the most reliable
and the most fascinating.'' She •
continued, saying that astrology is as
complicated and varied as the universe itself. No two charts are alike,
not even with identical twins.
Since the early 60's, Leinbach has
been accumulating information concerning the plotting of charts and
giving chart readings. She has an
immense file full of information which
she uses in her work; she refers to it as
a "card file." When starting out, she
would ask people if the information on
these cards applied to them.
Gradually she became more proficient
in the art and no longer has to
constantly refer to them.
My chart took only a few minutes to
complete. By that time I was on the
edge of my seat waiting for the result.
Leinbach asked me point blank about
any "difficult times" I had during this
time last year and I was stunned. A
number of personal difficulties had
occurred at that time but I had not
discussed any of my past with her ..
Reading only from my chart she told
me about my abilities and how I

tended to overexert myself with too
many things at once. I inquired about
my "romantic" life and she hit a
number of points right on the head, all
without coaching from me. Needless
to say, I was impressed with her
abilities and with her comment that
my chart showed a good aptitude for
journalism.
With the good things also came the
bad; she advised me to take it easy,
since there were sig·ns of health
difficulties if I continued to work hard
and relax little. I was not the first to
exclaim about her accuracy in telling

me about my life. Leinbach has heard
the same thing from many people.
Leinbach has also experienced
having people asking her for advice
prior to their taking a trip or buying a
house. When she has told them what
could happen, they usually return
telling her of experiences that are
similar to what she predicted.
Her classes on beginning astrology
are held each Thursday evening and
will "probably be offered again in
March." Leinbach will also be writing
a weekly horoscope column for the
TORCH soon and as a member of the
staff. I welcome her.

Hi '60s fans! Remember those
lamented days when everybody and
his neighbor thought that the government was out to get them? Thought
that special teams of military scientists were hard at work dreaming up
ways to blot out their fellow Americans? Thought that somewhere, in the
deep, dark recesses of an Army
installation, our tax dollars were being
spent to come up with schemes that
would zap us off the face of the earth?
Jeez, were we paranoid!
Oh, well, enough of this reminiscing. Time for today's column.
I have come into posession, via the
Freedom of Information Act, a thick
document, written in 1969 by something called the U.S. Army Limited
War Laboratory, located at a place
called the Aberdeen Proving Ground
in Maryland.
The report is the Army's response
to "some types of civil disturbances,
and a survey of related developmental
material." What that means is that
the document is chock-full -of suggestions on how various domestic "civil
disturbances" should be handled.
The most interesting part of the
document is the catalog of "tools"
recommended by the Army scientists
for dealing with their fellow citizens.
. The report is so massive that I can
only list a few of the details here. To
begin with, here are some of the
general suggestions made by the
Army men:
-Use of pistols, shotguns, riot guns.
-Chemical agents: Pain inducing
drugs, itch-inducing agents, poreclosing aerosols used in conjunction
with heated air blasts.
-Immobilizing agents: Instant banana peels, instant cocoons, watersoluble chemicals which will harden
rapidly on clothing or skin, impeding
movement.
-Sound-producing devices: Ultralow-frequency sound to induce both
physical and psycqological damage.
-Heat devices: A he3:t gun able to
deliver a blast up to 1,000 degrees
without open flame.
-Insects: Used to cause discomfort.
As I said, there are so many
different "tools" listed in the Army
report that I only have space to tell you
about a tiny fraction of them. But let's
look at a few, quoting their descriptions exactly from the Army document.

-"Instant Jungle - Plastic spray
which sets quickly to tough pliable
membrane is available. Spray could
be used on rioters to immobilize and,
if necessary, encapsulate them from
the neck down."
- ''Thermocapture - Concept involves thermosetting plastic spray by
hose or splattered by canister on the
arrestee. The plastic would begin to
set, making movement by the arrestee
increasingly difficult.''
·:instant Jungle - Would consist of a
large projectile filled with a quick~

explosive. Should form an effective
barricade.''
-Insects - The release of obnoxious
insects to cause discomfort to a mob
has not been utilized to date. In order
to be operationally effective, it appears that a crowd should be treated
with some sort of 'bait' or attraction
agent. Development of such a
technique may require only proper
choice of bait and insect species."

Romoser seeks OEA Presidential spot
by Sally Olja_r
Language Arts instructor Ted Romoser ·
will be on the ballot at the April election for
the Oregon Education Association's President-elect. If he wins the election at the
convention (to be held in Eugene), he will
be the first community college instructor to
serve in that post.
His opponents are two instructors from
Portla~d and Clackamas, at the junior high
and high school level. He said he thinks
the race is going to be "very close."
Long involvement in the OEA
Romoser has been involved in. the OEA
in several different capacities. He has
served as a representative of the local
chapter at LCC, the Board of Directors and
as Chairman of the National Committee.
He says that he finds "a fascination for the
way organizations work. I want to see if I
can contribute anything to it."
OEA has ~•good effect"
He feels the OEA has had "a very good
~ffect on this school and others." Two of
its main contributions have been to
"improve the position of teachers, and has
brought about a healthy relationship
be_tween teachers and management,'' he
said.
One result is that the LCC Education

of the OEA) is spen~~ng more time on

(CPS)--"People are always blaming their
circumstances for what they are. I don't
believe in circumstances. The people who
get on in this world are the people who get
up and look for the circumstances they
want and if they can't find them, make
them."
Those words, written in 1893, hold a
special .meaning for the women at Olivia
Records--a company founded by women to
promote women's music.
After years of trying to bust their way
into the many areas of the male-dominated
music industry, the five founders of Olivia
Records decided to go out on their own.
That was in 1973. Today, Olivia Records
is a non-profit recording company based in
Los Angeles which has produced two all
women albums--Meg Christian's "I Know
You Know," and Chris Williamson's "The
Changer and the Changed."
"Just because a woman sings a song,"
Jennifer Woodul, one of the founders of
the company, explained in a telephone
interview, "doesn't mean it's a woman's
song."
"We're dedicated to giving women
musicians across the country a chance to
sing, ·write, produce and distribute their
own music," she said. Olivia has a
nationwide network of 60 women who
handle promotions and concerts. One
operation, based in Boulder, Colo., is run
by Libby Atkins, a law student, and Connie
Griffin, an electrical engineer.
''Our main priority is speaking to
women," Atkins explained. "We don't go
in for those masochistic songs that portray
a woman as totally dependent on a man.
You know the type . 'I'm so lost now that
you're gone"' she said.
The company works on a collective basis.
"Women are signed to one record contract
and given complete control," Atkins said.
The collective is essential to the operation
because everyone sits down and makes the
decisions--it's fairer that way, emphasized
Woodul.
Olivia also hopes, explained Woodul, to
be able to provide women with jobs and
a decent salary. "We want women to
become free of repressions in the present
social structure," she said. "Women
deserve more control over their working
conditions.''
Woodul emphasizes that Olivia isn't the
?nly feminist recording company to crop up
rn re cent years. Women all over the
country are realizing they need to assert
themselves and plunge forward, she said.

The legislation, the Veterans Education

(PL 94-502), contained reporting requirements designed to weed out courses of the

In general, the Act required schools to

Shields called the bills '' a positive
move -- not just offering a handkerchief or
a box of Kleenex. We have to do
something for ourselves.''
The Alliance is a grass-roots movement,
according to Shields. "I wouldn't call it an
organized movement," she said. "I'd call
it spontaneous combustion. If there is a
movement, I'd classify it as this: older
women are just discovering the power of
organization.''
''President Carter said he would support
a displaced homemaker' s bill , " said
Shields, "and Senator Birch Bayh will be
presenting one in the U.S. Senate this
week or early next week.'' The Alliance
hopes to see the bill signed on Mother's
Day, 1977.

"Portable" project for Construction Tech

Steve Miller, a construction technology student, works on the foundation of one of the
three portables.

On the south side of the Industrial Technology Building three "new" buildings appear
to be •'under construction.'' They are interconnected by a partially finished deck,
under which can been seen the posts and concrete blocks of the foundation. The empty
"portables," as they are called, have gaping rectangular holes in them for doors and
windows, and around the whole site the ground is torn by tire and countless heavy boot
tracks.
During most of the week the buildings are abandoned in silence, but on Tuesdays and
Thursdays 30 Construction Technology students swarm over the buildings, swinging
hammers, pushing power saws and drills, lugging lumber, discussing problems, and·
pulling tape measures.
The Institutional Research and Planning Director, Paul Colvin, said the students are
"essentially remodeling" the portables.
According to the program's instructor, Jed Merrill, this is the first major project of this
size in the program's history. Merrill said the program had previously been "a paper
program," in which the students used books to learn their trade. There were only a few
small projects such as pouring sections of cement sidewalks for practical ''reinforcement''
of what the students had learned from the books.
The Director of the Special Training Programs Department, Larry Murray, under_
whose jurisdiction the Construction Technology Program falls, underlined Colvin's
statement by stating that the project will be finished during Fall Term of 1977, one year

bracing for the deck.
Merrill said he hadn't felt the generated projects were enough in preparing students for
the job market. He added that some former students have criticized the program for the
same reason. Merrill is happy with the project but both he and Murray hope to get more
after this one.
The students work about 10 hours a week on the portables, said Murray although he
added that about two hours are lost each week in setting up and breaking down after the

work of the deck that connects the three portables. He pointed out where the end of the
last tongue-and-groove board that had been laid was out of line with the rest. He
explained a cure to the supervisor of the group, kneeling beside the board, illustrating
what he was explaining.
The students work in groups of six, Merrill said, with an advanced student acting as a
supervisor for each group. Each crew is responsible for its own material lists, the time it
spends on the job, and for its own safety, said Merrill. He explained that the crews are
rotated among various tasks so each crew gets to do all the jobs.
In the classroom the students take such classes as Blueprint Reading, Drafting,
Accounting, Applied Economics, Science or Properties of Materials, Elementary
Surveying, Human Relations, and Science of Mechanics plus some basic classes such as
Mathematics and Communication skills.
Colvin said the portables have been with the college for about ten years and have been
used by Food Services, the Art and Applied Design Department, the Performing Arts
Department, and last year were used by maintenance. There are five portables, two of
which are now being used for storage, one by the Performing Arts Department and one by
the P.E. Department.
The Board of Education took bids from private contractors for remodeling of the
remaining three to be used for the high school completion program of the Adult Basic
Education Department, said Colvin.
_
The bids came to about $100,000 but Colvin said the Board thought this was too much.
Colvin said he then made an estimate based on having most of the work done by the
Construction Technology Program students. His estimate came to about half as much as
those in the bids.
But the Construction Technology students will not be able to do e~erything, .s~ys
Murray. Private contractors will still have to be r,alled in to do the plumbmg, electr1c1ty,

Over 40 members of the men's track
team will compete in the Eighth Annual
indoor Developmental Track and Field
Meet in Portland's Memorial Coliseum
Saturday, starting at 11 a.m.
The meet, more commonly referred to as
the afternoon session, is run in conjunction
with the better known Seventeenth Annual
Oregon Indoor Track and Field Meet,
starting later that day at 7:30 p.m. It will
feature over 1000 top men and women
tracksters from Northwest prep, community college and small college ranks. Lane
men's track coach Al Tarpenning has
special interest in the affair, having served
as director of the meet since 1970.
No members of the women's track squad
will compete in the afternoon session.
Besides the large number of Titan men set
for the developmental meet, two individual
members and a relay team will participate
in the headliner that night.
They include Bobby Persons · in the
Open 60 meter dash, Ken Martin in the
Special College mile and the mile relay
squad, winners in the Open competition
last year, to be composed among Joel
Johnson, Joe Cook, Matt Caswell, Tim
O'Malley or Kevin Ritchey.

Men drop two league contests
by Jack Scott
The men's basketball team may have
seen their chances of a third straight
OCCAA championship disappear following
two home losses to Central Oregon, 66-52,
Jan. 19 and to Umpqua, 69-64, Saturday.
Those losses evened- the Titans league
mark at 3-3. The Bobcats from Bend
continue to lead the conference with an
unblemished 6-0 mark, followed by LinnBenton at 5-1. Lane is tied for third with
Chemeketa and Umpqua.
The Blue and White now head out 9n the
road for two weekend contests. They face
Linn-Benton tomorrow in Albany and
confront Clackamas Saturday in Oregon
City. Both games start at 7:30 p.rn.
They have played the Roadrunners once
this season in non-counting action, losing
68-66. In their last game, Linn-Benton
ripped apart Judson Baptist, 106-59, a
team that had earlier defeated the Titans
by two points. They are a team much like
Central Oregon, able to shoot over a
defense from outside or use their height
advantage to work the ball inside.
Clackamas shouldn't be quite as tough,
but Lane coach Dale Bates warrn,"they are
a .competitive team that is just starting to
come together.'' They lost their last game
at Southwest Oregon, 89-87, and currently
sport a 2-4 record.
Lane's loss to the Bobcats was no
disgrace. "We didn't play that badly,"
expressed Bates. "We just panicked,
especially in our ballhandling, and ended
up beating ourselves."
The first half of that game went as
expected with Central Oregon powering
inside for their points and dominating the
boards at both ends of the court. They led
at intermission, 33-25. Then, in the second
period, the visitors came out strong again
and extended their lead to 13 points and
looked like they had the game wrapped up.
However, Lane wasn't about to give up.
Finally getting their offense in gear, the
Titans started hitting •from outside and
quickly cut the_margin to 48-46.
It was t.hen that the locals buried
themselves with turnovers. Lane lost the
ball three straight times down the court.
Consequently, Central Oregon regained
th~ir poise and moved their advantage
back up to 11 points and cruised in for the

small lead, Lane would fight back to tie the
contest. This went on until the last tie at
55-all with just under six minutes left,
when Umpqua went ahead to stay. Again,
costly turnovers hurt the Titans down the
stretch, but the Timberrnen did more
damage with their deadly 60 percent
shooting from the field in the second half.
Umpqua was paced by Bill Poch, Terry
Sele and Torn Bentley with 23, 22 and 16
points respectively. Poch was particularly
outstanding, hitting 7-8 field goals and
9-10 from the line.
Rob Holmstroin topped Lane with 16
points, followed by McCarthy with 12 and
Brian Conlon, Dennis lrnrnonen, Mike Kay
and Keith Baltzer, all with eight. Bates

The women traveled to Roseburg to
meet Umpqua Tuesday. Results of that
contest were not available at presstime.
Earlier this season, Lane defeated them,
57-43, here, but Thompson says they have
been playing well lately and have
developed a full court press which could
cause problems.
Lane had no problem at all defeating the
Willamette University JV's, 72-25, here
last Thursday. That game saw the Titan
women claim 50 rebounds for their highest
total of the year and 11 of the 12 players
suited up scored. The one who didn't,
starting guard Debi Wilson, was injured
early and has been out of action since.
Janel Huser topped the Titan scoring
with 15 points. Cindy Corkum added eight
and eight others contributed six markers.
Following the game with the Duck JV's,
the Titans return to action by hosting
Clackamas Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

Story, photo wrong
The TORCH regrets _publishing two
inaccuracies in coverage of women's
basketball in the January 20 issue. The
news article mistakenly reported the Lane
women's team would travel to Salem that
day for a contest with the Willamette
University JV' s when in fact the game was
played here. A photograph accompanying
the news article also was in error,
incorrectly identifying a Lane player as
Cindy Corkum instead of Terri Booth.

'Owner's Manual' available now

By Health Services Staff
"Man's Body, An Owner's Manual" is now available at the LCC
Bookstore for $6.95. Dave Mahoney,
student coordinator of the LCC
Student Health Services, ran into this
book when representing Health Services at the Pac;ific Coast College
Health Association in November,
1976.
The book is to men what "Our

Bodies, Ourselves" is to women.
Written much as an automobile
owner's manual might be written, it
_addresses itself to man's bod_y.

The staff at LCC Student Health
Services has reviewed the book and
enthusiastically endorses the volume.
Usually the male body is a mystery
to its owner. The purpose of the book
is to unravel that mystery.
It is written from the standpoint of

the ordinary man.
Clearly and
concisely, "Man's Body" sets out a
wide range of information, as free
from medical/ scientific jargonese as
possible.
There are lots of charts, illustrations, statistical evidence, and the
insights of recognized ~pecialists
presented here.
The book addresses life, death,
illness, body care, fitness, food,
drugs, sexuality, and aging.
