K LCC staff not
to editorialize
by Kathleen Monje
A recent memorandum sent to KLCC
staff members by Mike Hopkinson, acting
Mass Communication department head
and KLCC station manager, has prohibited
on-the-air discussion of the station and its
recent changes, except as supervised by
the new Public Affairs Director, Randy
Louis, or the station manager.
Hopkinson explained that the Fairness
Doctrine, a Federal Communications Commission regulation, requires that a station
seek out and air both sides of any
controversial issue-this has not been
done.
He also noted that radio station
employees, whether working for commercial or public stations, do .not have First
Amendment rights (freedom of speech)
when on the air, according to FCC policy.
" This is because the station's licensee, not
the employees, is responsible to the FCC
for broadcasting in the public interest.''
Louis told the TORCH that "The issue
has been discussed a great deal on the air,
mostly in a one-sided mann€:;r. The memo
will produce a format where both sides can

Top KLCC spot filled last
by Kathleen Monje
The last of four new KLCC employees
formally accepted the radio station's most
important position Monday--Tim McCartney of Macombe, Illinois will take charge
as station manager near the end of
February.
McCartney says he ''wanted to work at a
station that met the Coporation for Public
Broadcasting qualifications, a listener-oriented station." He has spent the past
eight and a half years at WIUM, Western
Illinois University's public/educational station.
"At a station like KLCC you can spend
most of your time working with volunteers
from the community, and that's what I
want to do." McCartney said, explaining
his decision to come here.
He has been the operations manager
(and only paid employee) at WIUM since
1969, where he supervised the all-student
staff. But he thinks ''the 'wave of the
(radio) future is definitely in community
.
colleges.''
"I have spent a lot of time in the
classroom, lecturing," McCartney said,
"but I haven't done any teaching in a
formal capacity .''
He earned a bachelor's degree in Mass
Communications at Weste~n Illinois, and
worked at a nearby commercial station as
announcer and newscaster part-time while
he was a student.
Decision on LCC instructors will take 2 to 6 months
Unioniza tion stalled
by Sally Oljar
The fate of the Adult Basic Education
(ABE) and High School Completion (HSC)
faculty's wish for a formal part-time union
now rests in the hands of the Oregon State
Employment Relations Board (ERB). ERB
representative Christine Herrick heard
both sides of the issue in a hearing
Thursday. Feb. 3. She says the decision
will take from two to six months.
The hearing is the result of the LCC
Board of Education's decision to deny a
voluntary petition from the ABE and HSC
fa_culty requesting collective bargaining
rtghts under the auspicies of the LCC
Education Association (LCCEA).
Lon Mills and Associates. the Eugene
labor relations firm representing the
college, maintains that the two groups do
not have bargaining rights under Oregon
Revised Statutes (ORS) 243. The law
requires a public employer (LCC) to
recognize the labor organization (LCCEA
representing the ABE and HSC faculty) as
the exclusive representative of the employ·
ees of a public employer.
Ruth Heuser, the Mills and Associates
representative handling the case told
Herrick that this is not the case in this
instance. Because of their part-time and
transitory status at LCC the two faculty
groups can not be recognized as public
employees working for a public employer
She called the part-time employee an
"independent contractor" who is not hired
under any formal procedures. She also
cited the year to year hiring conditions of
the two groups, also that the majority of
them aren't dependent on LCC a their
primary source of income.

Mating birds, lace valentin es, and love
v alent1nes ~ay
by Michael Riley
In four days, hundreds upon thousands of women and men will
participate in a celebration that takes
place very year. This celebration
bases itself on an interesting concept,
a time worn idea that will continue as
long as people want it to. The
celebration? Valentine's day. The
concept? Love.
Yep, each year on February 14 most
of us will give someone we care about
a Valentine's Day card, some flowers,
or a box of candy. The trick is to
accomplish these feats of love with
minimum amount of expenditure.
(Unless you are otherwise inclined.)
Being a student with a limited
budget and a writer for the TORCH
with prospective valentine recipients,
it was suggested to me that I find out
about the costs and the availability of
Valentine's Day presents ... be they
cards, flowers or candy.
Checkbook in my pocket Gust in
case I found something nifty), I
dashed off to Valley River Center. My
first destination was a florist. Flowers
always seem to make it big with
people, especially when they're not
expecting it.
Mary Ellingson, salesperson for
Reed and Cross, expects the turnout
for flowers purchases to be large this
weekend. There is a limit concerning
wire orders back east but Ellingson
says they haven't had any problems
with local orders.
Roses seem to be the big attraction
on Valentine's Day, Ellingson adds
that mixed arrangements come after
that. Prices range from a $1.50 for a
carnation to $20 for a dozen roses.
The price or roses will go up as
Valentine's day draws closer since,
says Ellingson, they will be harder to
obtain.
Moving from flowers (the person I
had in mind has enough as it is), I
turned to cards. These gems of
printed verse allow you to be original
in thought without the strain of writing
your own poetry. Fortunately there
was a card shop next to the flower
stand so the walk wasn't too strenuous.
An interesting note from the
reference section of the library shows
that the valentine is probably the first
of all greeting cards. Also, some
celebrate the life of St. Valentine on
the d<!y. The exchanging of valentines
and the celebrating of love has no
relation to the Saint, but these actions
could coincide with the ancient Roman
fertility festivals or with the mating
season of birds.
Valentine cards range from the
typical heart shaped to the contemporary humorous studio card. Jill
Cornelius, assistant manager for
Mark's Hallmark Card's, says that the
humorous and general title cards are
the ones that are selling now. She has
noticed that the "sweetheart, honey,
husband and wife'' card are the last to
go. These will probably sell over the
weekend with the women shoppers
purchasing theirs first and the men
making a last minute dash to purchase

Reprinted with p~rmission from In
These Times
·The U.S. Department of Labor
estimates that in 1974, one out of
every 10 workers (nearly 6 million
people) suffered from a job-related
disease or injury. And according to
the National Institute of Occupational
Safety and Health, 100,000 people die
of these diseases and injuries each
year. If the figures are to be believed,
occupational hazards are a leading
cause of death in thi~ country and
working can be dangerous to your
health.
One of the most serious of the
job-related diseases is cancer. Second
only to heart disease in the number of
people it kills, the National Cancer
Institute says 365,000 people a
year--or roughly 1,000 people a
day--die of cancer.
Many of the known carcinogenic
(cancer producing) substances commonly used in industry have been
around for a number of years and are
only now being taken seriously.
Vinyl chloride (VC) is a good
example. VC, a petrochemical used in
the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride plactic (PVC) has been used in the
U.S. for about 40 years. VC gas is one
of several produced when petroleum is
refined. To get PVC plastic the VC is
"cooked" under pressure and the
result is PVC resin. The resin is sent
to fabricating plants where it is either
pressed into plastic sheets or molded
into whatever shape is desired. A very
-versatile product, PVC is widely used
in the health, construction and many
other areas.
4.5 m ii/ion near plants
, There are currently 58 companies
manufacturing VC, PVC and its close
relative, ethylene dichloride (EDC).
This means several hundred thousand
workers are being exposed to its
dangers. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
more than 4.5 million people live
within a 5-mile radius of the 58
companies producing the three substances. Air concentrations of PVC
and EDC in those communities have
been measured at levels ranging from
one part per million to three part per
million.
VC was not tested to determine
whether it was capable of causing
cancer until 1970, when it was found to
cause angiosarcoma of the liver in
mice. Even then, very little was done
to protect workers from exposure until
B.F. Goodrich Co. reported the deaths
of three workers from liver cancer in
1974.
In October 1976, the EPA ordered
companies to cut VC and EDC air
emission levels by 80 percent within
90 days. But the order was a follow-up
on a standard it first proposed in the
fall of 1975. According to the new
standard, emission levels must not
exceed a range of 0.1 to 0.3 parts per
million.
Animal test results compiled by
NIOSH show that VC workers had a
rate of liver cancer 16 times higher
than normal, were five times more
likely to contract brain cancer and had
twice the normal risk of cancer of the
lymphatic system.
In use since 1935
The chemical 4-aminobiphenyl was
an ingredient of synthetic rubber.
Animal test results released in 1952
and 1954 showed it caused cancer of
the bladder. Unfortunately, it had
already been in use in the U.S. since

1935 and the first cancer reports
begain to surface in 1955, when its use
was finally discontinued.
Phenyl beta nathalamine (PBNA), a
chemical used in the production of
rubber products and an essential
component of solid rocket fuel, ha_d
recently been found to ·have carcinogenic properties as a result of some
European testing. B.F. Goodrich, the
only American company producing
PBNA, has stopped making it because
of the cancer risk. But it may already
be too late for untold numbers among
the 15,000 workers who have been
exposed _to the substance.
Asbestos, a widely used insulating
material, is another carcinogen. It has
been estimated that within the next 45
years 400,000 of the country's one
million past and present workers who
have come in frequent contact with the
material may die from cancer unless it
has caught and treated in the early
stages.
Workers endangered
A new study, released by the.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission a few
months ago, shows that workers employed in atomic plants where radiation exposure levels were well below
the present government safety -stand ard s, nevertheless have a cancer
death rate 6 percent above the
average.
The new results contradict years of
previous study results and were
obtained by checking the death
certificates of nearly 4,000 atomic
workers who died between 1944 and
1972.
At least 700 new chemicals come
into the industrial market each year
and few of them have been tested for
possible carcinogenicity.
The Occupational Safety and Healtfo
Administration(OSHA), an agency
within the Department of Labor, was
not created until 1971 - a result of the
Occupational Health Law passed by
Congress in 1970. And the Toxic
Substances Control Act was passed by
Congress only within the past four
months.
The Toxic Substances Act requires
the EPA to use animal testing on all
chemicals suspected of being carcinogens, when such substances have
significant human exposure or are
released into the environment.
Testing alone not practical
But animal testing alone may not be a
practical solution. Dr. Henry Falk of
the Center for Disease Control, ''the
problem with that is you would very
quickly run out of animals and
facilities to test them."
There is also the problem of
manpower and animal testing takes
time. Like vinyl chloride-you just
can't feed it to the animals. You have
to put them in an enclosed chamber,
pump the gas in, measure the levels
within the enclosed space .... ''
'' And then it should be tested on
more than one animal," Dr. Falk went
on. ''Thalidomide was a classic
example. It didn't cause problems in
mice and rats, but it did -in monkeys
and dogs.'' (Thalidomide was the
tranquilizer that produced thousands
of babies born without arms and legs
when it was taken by unsuspecting
pregnant women in the early '60s.)
"Animal testing is a good solution,
but not really feasible for 700 drugs a
year," Falk believes.
New testing methods
The situation is not completely
hopeless, however. Falk says the CDC
and other researchers are closely
watching new testing procedures such
as the "Ames" method. The test,
developed by Dr. Bruce Ames, a
California researcher. can rapidly
detect a potential carcinogen with
what appears to be a fairly high
degree of accuracy.
• 'They expose bactena to the
suspected (carcinogenic) chemical and
then look for mutational changes in
the bacteria. Those chemicals capable
of causing mutations in bacteria are
likely to cause cancer," he explained.
"Unfortunately, the test is not foolproof, but it's a good starting point in
the weeding out process. Chemicals
that give a positive IJ}Utation reaction
Industrial cancer has become a serious
problem and continues to be a threat
to the lives of workers for a number of
reasons. Some of them are:
•The nature of the disease itself.
Cancer has a long latency period and
may take 10 to 30 years to developand no one knows what triggers the
disease in the first place. As Dr.
William Blot, a biostatistician with the
National Cancer Institute, put it,
''There may not be just a single cause
of cancer, although we believe it is
triggered by environmental factors.''
"Maybe there's something about
each of us, a genetic predisposition
can then be submitted to the more
accurate and time-consuming animal
testing." The Ames test produces a
result within a couple of days, and its
rate of accuracy is believed to be in the
range of 80 percent.
Cancer doesn't appear
that causes cancer when triggered by
an environmental stimulus-but we
don't know what the mechanism is or
how it works. Some people smoke
cigarettes for years and never get
cancer, while others do."
Not knowing the cause of the
disease also makes it hard to predict
safe levels of exposure to substances
capable of producing cancer in industry or elsewhere.
•The results of animal testing were
often ignored in the past because of a
refusal to accept cancerous results as
applicable to human beings. But tiow
that we are developing the same
cancers 20 and 30 years later, even
outspoken critics of animal testing are
losing this particular conceit.
OSHA not funded enough
OSHA has never received the kind
of funding needed to do the extensive
jobs of inspection, testing and research that occupationally linked
diseases require.
OSHA and its research arm.
NIOSH. are theoretically responsible
for the health and safety of an
estimated 62 million workers· employed throughout S million facilities.
Yet OSHA' s budget only allows it a
work force of 1,500 inspectors and only
400 of them have the scientific training
needed to test chemical and other
substances capable of causing cancer
and numerous other work-related
ailments.
Despite this, OSHA made more
than 151,000 inspections and issued
117,000 citations during 1975 and the
first 9 months of 1976. Unfortunately.
because of the lack of technically
trained inspectors, many of the
citations were for mechanical hazards-such as lack of guard rails,
protective clothing, etc. Also, serious
violations usually merited fines of only
$600.
OSHA has tobe pushed
Granting that many of OSHA's
problems are not exclusively the fault
of the agency, it has not aggressively·
fought for what it needs or sought
stringent controls over industry. Most
standards handed down by OSHA
have been the result of suits filed and
pressures applied by various labor
unions.
•But most basic aspect of occupational cancer is the attitude in both
government and industry, which assumes a substance is innocuous until
proven otherwise--that is until people
are maimed or start dropping dead. It
is, after all, more profitable to do the
testing on the workers themselves.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK OF
FEBRUARY 10-17
This week the Moon will be moving
from third quarter to new next
Thursday. This always means finishing up things you have started earlier.
It denies beginning anything new.
During this week we have only one
significant "void of course" Moon
period. That occurs Tuesday Feb. 15
and lasts until almost 4 p.m. We are
in a period when almost everything is
tense and eager for action. Therefore
this more or less dormant period will
be very frustrating. You and those
around you will be feeling restless
with no opportunity to put this energy
to constructive action. Thursday will
be particularly stressful for all relationships. People may be able to take
a better hold on things by Friday.
Saturday will put us all through our
paces with considerable eagerness to
protect our situation, for good cause.
Late Saturday and for those who are
up after midnight things may get into
an unresolvable bind. Be careful not
to lose a good friend under this influence. Monday may bring an end to.
something and leave you with some
philosophical knots to chew. Tuesday
you will be ready to leave the past but
it will be impossible to find a new
avenue that promises any degree of
permanence. By Wednesday things
may begin to fall into place; still
adding up mostly to frustration. You
will be somewhat wiser but with your
hands still more tied than free.
Air and Fire signs: Aries, Leo,
Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
will be the most revved-up and
restless. Most of them won't mind too
much except when they are not only
wasting their time but restricted in
action also. Although Earth and
Water may exhibit more patience this
period will be very uncomfortable,
also for Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Cancer. Scorpio and Pisces.

The resurrected course will follow the
original syllabus which was designed for a
wide variety of people. Brick hopes that
she can provide one-third of the classroom
input, but that the rest will come from
students. They will cover reading from the
popular press to heavier journalism. The
topics will include discussions of the
definitions of womens' liberation and
feminism; the importance of physical and
psychological power; creativity; independence; how to learn the decision-making
process; marriage vs. remaining single;
having_children vs. not having children;
abortion; communications; and women in
history. Guest speakers were expected.

Women and men could have a chance to
explore the changing roles of women. An
LCC class outside the normal accredited
structure of the college classroom is being
rescheduled for Spring Term.
At the beginnmg of Winter term Peggy
Brick. an instructor in the Home Economics Department, attempted to offer a
course through the Adult Education
Department entitled the "Changing Roles
of Women." However, due to lack of
students, the class was unable to continue.
Was it apathy, the timing, the location, or
just lack of advertising?
In an interview on Jan. 27, Brick stated
that she structured the course so the
'' people in attendance could explore
opposite poles in a number of subjects
dealing with women." The class was not
intended to define a right or wrong role for
a woman, but rather. to examine the
distance between the extremes, according
When asked what she felt kept women in
the Eugene community from responding
the first time to the class, Brick suggested
several deterrants: Lack of advertising,
the winter weather, and the distance of

Many of LCC's Basic Design students
come into class rooms only to pick up their

elsewhere.

accommodate 25 students.
Wright's policy has been to allow some
students with critical scheduling problems
to be admitted to his already filled classes,
in anticipation of accommodating them in
spaces created by possible drop-outs.
However, Wright said, in an interview
on January 24, "students aren't dropping
classes as much as they used to."
One reason for the maintaining of classes
signed up for is that few, if any, other art
classes are available. One student in Basic
Design 1 said she could have been further
along now, if the information taught in the
basic design class had been available to her
sooner.
DJring the past 9 years Instructor
Wright has observed a surprising change
in the quality of the art work completed by
his students. "The sloppiness of the late

60's and early 70's, is a thing of the past.
Half of the anti-establishment philosophy
was not the desire to change things, but to
do nothing at all," Wright said. The
dedicated student has replaced the apathetic one. Wright said of his students"•··
the want to get some place in life, to do
something."
The reasons for the popularity of the
class vary from student to student.
According to one student, her reason for
taking the basic design class is that she is a
drafting major and wants to enhance her
knowledge of balance.
The daily assignments in the Basic
Design class deal with problems in black
and white compositions, incorporating
optical illusions and visual perception.
The second term students face a different
problem. Their energies are directed
toward color. "The most difficult thing to
see," says Wright, "is a pure color
isolated, because the colors near it affect it,
and light, too, changes it."
To meet these tasks, the Basic Design
students need information, but beyond that
they must trust their· own good feelings,
intuition, and taste.

Wea ther puts dam per on ski classes

Oregon's unseasonal sunshine has
put a damper on ski classes and a ski
club presently avail~ble at LCC.
Due to present weather conditions,
instructor Dwane Miller says, ''I don't
look for enough snow to cross-country
ski for the rest of the season."
Miller's cJass went skiing three weeks
ago at Willamette Pass and again
last Sunday at Santiam Pass.
Miller's class stresses safety and
skills. The class spends five weeks on
the instructional phase. Survival, the
use of a compass, the choice of
clothing and basic fundamentals along
with the safety aspect are stressed the
most.
"If you can wa!!c and chew gum, you
can cross country ski,'' says Miller.
He feels cross country skiing is
popular among college students becau se it allows freedom and the
appreciation for nature in many
aspects.
A person can cross country ski with
a snow pack of 8-12 inches whereas it
would take at least two feet to downhill
ski such as at Hoodoo or Mt. Bachelor.

of another ERB hearing that ruled ·•a

Hyde called a number of witnesses to

instructors work off campus. while 90
percent teach at LCC. The figures are
reversed in the case of the HSC instructors,
90 percent at LCC and 10 percent off
campus.
Hesuer said that the college recognized
some similiarities in the two groups--that
both are part-time, do not receive fringe
benefits, are not formally evaluated or
supervised, and teach non-credit classes-but the disimiliarities ''segregated them
into two individual groups of people." She
said, however, that there "is little
communication between them," and that
"so many ABE classes are off-campus"
that they aren't to attend the same staff
meetings, pr inservice training.
Marilyn Papich, an instructor in the HSC
program, told Herrick that there is
communication between the two groups.
She said there is an interchange of
students from the ABE program to the
HSC program. The reason for this is
because the ABE program concentrates on
basic ~kills required for a General
Education Diploma and the HSC program
is more formal, with the student receiving
a r egular high school diploma.

includes space for commenting on religious

then match up the parents according to
their needs and abilities.
The women at the center believe that the
more interest they generate in the plan, the
more improvement they will see in terms of
modifying it to best serve the most people.
According to Millington. • 'The main

Researchers tum
to oceans for
food and fuel
Oceanographic researchers at American
universities are cautiously optimistic that a
more direct manipulation of the sea by
mankind will help alleviate the suffering
that may result from a combination of
dwindling terrestrial food, fuel, and
mineral resources and a rising population.
At present, however, wide-scale fishfarming and deep sea mining have been
unattractive to most U.S. corporations due
to the generally low profits they provide
and the high risks they entail.
Still, university marine studies programs. which do not have to be profitable,
are registering quiet advances, especially
in the area of aquaculture, and are getting
financial shots in the arm from federal
agencies such as SEA GRANT, a division
of the Natiuonal Oceanographic and
Atmospheric Administration. The Scripps
Institution of Oceanography in San Diego,
for instance, last year had a budget of
around $36 million, roughly 80 percent of
which was provided by U.S. government
agencies.
The school, one ·of the most prestigious
of its kind in the U.S.~ operates a fleet of
six large oceanographic research vessels,
which in 1973- cruised nearly 148,000
nautical miles to locations as diverse as the
Amazon River Basin in Peru and the Gulf
of Alaska. Domestically, a spokeswoman
says that "some aquaculture is going on
here, espicially with shrimp and lobsters.
We're not doing anything with deep-sea
mining technology, but we are studying the
formation of, manganese nodules.'·
Several multi-national corporations, including Kennecott Copper, Inc .. are
exploring the possibility of large-scale
mining of the nodules, which are found
deep on the ocean floor and are rich in
manganese, nickel, copper, and cobalt.
Some experts estimate that the ocean floor
may hold as much as SO percent of the
world's remaining minerals. A team Jed by
an assistant professor at Oregon State
University plans to use a submersible
starting this Feb. 8 near the Galapagos
Islands to study the hot ocean springs there
which have temperatures exceeding the
boiling point of water and which may be
instrumental in forming metal-rich deepsea sediments.
Two OSU research vessels currently are
operating off the coast of Peru to study the
effects of coastal upwelling, a process that
occurs in some areas where water f,rom the
sea bed, rich in phytoplankton, is brought
to the ocean surface by a combination of
winds and currents. The process is such a
boon to fishing that artificial creation of
upwlling has been attempted on a small
scale in some spots. Researchers at the
University of Texas Marine Science
Institute Marine Laboratory at Port
Aransas, for example, have been shelling
out $300,000 annually over the past eight
years in an artificial upwelling project in
the U.S. Virgin Islands. They have been
pumping nutrient-rich deep-sea water to
artificial pools which they have constructed
on shore. The phytoplankton they keep in
the pools have required only the seawater
to survive and are used subsequently to
feed infant shellfish nurtured in holding
tanks.
American lobsters, once plentiful in the
waters off the Northeastern United States
and in high demand on the retail market,
l-iave been raised successfully at the
Bodega Bay Marine Laboratory, which is
sponsored and utilized by the nine
University of California campuses. Still,
Business Director Cadet Hand says that
commercial culture of lobsters is not yet
feasible. due to their expensive diets,
preference for warm waters. and propensity for devouring one another in
captivity. Hand sees the day, however,
when the crustaceans will be fed from
relatively cheap grain and meat offal
derivatives; he thinks that by genetic
breeding. a noncannibalistic, fastergrowing lobster will be developed.

CABARET
The Performing Arts Department opened "Cabaret" last Friday evening ana
received a warm reception for its efforts.
The show is excellent entertainment.
.Especially good are the snazzy musical
number, that are well choreographed and
executed by the cast.
The musical is a collection of stories
adapted from the play "I Am a Camera,"
that is based on the book ''The Berlin
Stories'' by English writer Christopher
Isherwood, who was a journalist in Berlin
during the late 1920's. The stories
describe the people ~e met during his stay,
and the effects of increasing Nazi power on
their lives. Fraulein Schneider's boardinghouse was Isherwood's residence and
provided him the opportunity to meet some
of Berlin's more colorful characters; most
notably Sally Bowles.
Nicola Crafts as Sally Bowles: ... her forte
is dance.
"Cabaret" reflects the old and the new
in Germany of 1929. The new is the
decadence and artificial air that are
symbols of the twenties, emphasized in the
show b_y the "Kit Kat Klub," where Sally
works as a performer. The old can b-e seen
through landlady Fraulein Schneider's
eyes as she grudgingly attempts to adapt to
the new ways--one of her tenants has
sailors to visit all night, and Sally "lives"
with a man. Underneath this brazen new
life style is the growing menace of Nazism,
that becomes more apparent, and more
sinister, a_s the show progresses.
The epitomy of decadence and depravity
is in the character of the Emcee at the Kit
Kat Klub, portrayed by Nick Breeden. He
gives an excellent performance-as the
shyster who tells his audience that ''Here,
life is beautiful." The Nazi's are parodied
by Klub performers, until they too are
caught up in the new era of Hitler and his
troops.
While the Kit Kat Klub personifies the
artificial gaiety of pre-war Berlin , the
personally harmful threat of Nazi rule
comes to Fraulein Schneider and her
Jewish fiance Herr Schultz. Chilton
Peterson as Fraulein Schneider and
Lowell Chase as Herr Schultz give perfect
performances portraying the older couple.
Marriage is their last chance at happiness,
but they are powerless against the Nazi
threat that destroys that opportunity.
The most effective and chilling instance
of Nazi terror is also one of the finest
moments in the show. Victor, a German
citizen and regular at the club, stands to
sing the German national anthemn,
"Tomorrow Belongs to Me," surrounded
by young men with swastikas around their
sleeves. Quade Winter has a powerful and
haunting baritone voice that sent a chill
through the audience as they listen to the
words of impending horror: ''The day will
come when the world is mine; tommorrow
belongs to me."
But one strong point is left out of director
Ed Ragazzino's production. It is the
moment when the Emcee perfoi:ms a
parody with a gorrilla as his ''true love;''
He says ''If others could see her with my
eyes, they'd see there's nothing wrong at
all." Then, finishing the song, he leers at
the audience and says, "she doesn't look
Jewish at all." But in Ragozzino's
production "Meeskite," which is the
German word for ugly or clumsy, is
substituted in the place of "Jewish." I am
sorry that it was done that way, because
the former could illustrate so well that
carelessness and unconcern for the political situation on the part of the Klub
performers, and most especially, the
, Emcee.
Otherwise, Ragazzino has followed the
original score in the LCC production.
There is more concentration on the music
than in the movie version. He has focused
a great deal of attention on the dance
numbers, which add to the ''cabaret''
feeling. Most of that spirit comes from the
runway that wraps around the stage in a
semi-circle and allow the dancers to come
out to the audience and permits the
audience to participate in the nightclub
show .

KLCC changes spark views
by John Brooks
People haven't noticed much change in
the programing of KLCC since the recent
firings of five staff members, but they do
feel very strongly about the firings
themselves. This was the conclusion
drawn by this reporter after talking with
about 15 people including students,
and the new staff hired but now he thinks
the station is good. He said he had found
one program "superb."
But on the other hand, Pelikan thought
the firings were, '' a complete disregard for
the personal well-being of the primary staff
of our community (radio) station."
Connie Hood, a classified staff member
in the Study Skills Department, said she
thought those who were fired "should have
been given the oppurtunity to fulfill the ,
requirements" the Mass Comunication
Department now requires.
The department now requires that the
full time staff members of the station have
a bachlor' s degree so that those staff
members _will be able to teach three classes
a year if the department needs them.
A couple of students said they were
confused about the firings. Holkam said he
wished he was better informed. From what
he had read, it seemed to him like the
Administration had just stepped in and
fired the five staff members. He felt
something could have been worked out.
Vern Ho, an instructor in Study Skills,
said it seemed • to him that the college
didn't seem to have a clear direction with
KLCC. He was concerned that the Mass
Communication Department had fired the SW
staff members without notifing the Board Barbara Edwards: She hasn't noticed any

instructors and classified staff.
One reason some of the interviewees had
not noticed much change in the stations
format was they said that they were very
busy and only listened in occasionally.
Babara Edwards, a work study student
in the Photography Lab, said she only
listened to the music played c~ the station,
jazz, and ~dded that she hadn't noticed any
difference.
Nancy Hale, a journalism student, said
she has noticed small personal changes in
the station's programing with the different
people. she is sorry to see the morning
program change, a program she had
enjoyed with its classical music.
Michael Riley, a journalism major,
hadn't listened to KLCC until after he had
been following the events surrounding
KLCC. Now he does listen to the station
and said he is pleased with its quality.
Vince Holkam said some friends of his
had come to visit him here in Eugene from
Los Angeles this summer and they had
''flipped out'' over the jazz played on
KLCC. He said that they had said they
didn't have anything as good as KLCC in
LA.
Ken Pelikan, the ASLCC president, said
he listened to the station a lot and that he
had noticed an "identity crisis" between
the time when the original staff was fired
All that boils down to one truly ironic
situation. Here is an institution full of
intelligent, seemingly aware students,
supposedly with an eye on a better
tomorrow, living in a state renown for
progessive government, and most of the
students here probably think that all
student government is good for would be
an occasional baked food sale or Friday
night sock hops in the gym.
Many of the ·students interviewed had
thoughts as to how this situation developed. By analyzing their views, it seems
that an effective student government has
little chance of success on this campus. .
''The campus is in a bad geographical
location," assessed John Mills, a freshman in sociology. He explained that since
this is a commuter's college and isolated
from the community, students simply
attend classes and leave, leaving little time
to become aware or involved.
Brooks agreed with commuting as a
factor and also cited the diversity in
student ages and backgrounds. "The ages
range from teenagers to senior citizens
here and it would be hard for everybody to
get behind something," she opined.
Another student, wishing to remain
anonymous, feels part of the reason lies
with the $5 special student body card. She
questioned its real value, and implied that
it may tend to alienate those students who

by Jack Scott
If candid conversations with 15 students
selected at random can be considered at all
conclusive, it appears obvious that students here really don't know much about
their system of representation in campus
affairs. Nor do they really care.
''To be honest, I don't know much about
it," replied one student. "I don't know
anything about it at all," echoed another.
Pam Brooks, a freshman majoring in
architecture, probably summed up the

Wendy Waldman. Other projects mentioned included work to lower the

Kathy Seubert, a freshman in general
studies, feels student government could
start a music lounge, featuring good stereo
equipment, where students could bring
their own records to listen to while relaxing
·between classes.
No matter what student government
does, most students agree they should use

Frat pranks hit

Swallowing goldfish and cramming

to some University of Texas fraternity
members, electric cattle prods are sublime.
Phi Delta Theta, a social fraternity at
Austin, recently had its activitities suspended for one year by the university after
it was determined that cattle prods were
being used to initiate ·pledges. Police who
had detained a truck that had been
weaving across a highway north of the
campus found in the back of the U-Haul 27
pledges who were naked except for a
coating of corn flakes, eggs, and tabasco
sauce. Welts were found on many of the
pledges, and were derived from "limited
use" of a cattle prod, according to police.
No charges were filed.
A similar event occurred last November
when a UT fraternity called the Texas
Cowboys was discovered initiating prospective members with several cattle prods.

can go as high as $1.50 for a larger card or

Cards and flowers compose part of the
valentine tradition but one cannot forget
the candy. Especially for this special day
since it comes in those heart shaped boxes
just begging to be eaten. I usually find
myself shying away from candies since
they tend to draw inches to my waistline. I
was successful in keeping away from the
stores at Valley River. It was a candy store
on the mall that did me in.
The Candy and Corn Shop sells most of
their boxed valentine candy 72 hours
before Valentine's Day. This is an
observation by Chris Harrington, one of
the people who will be selling these boxed
goodies in that "final rush" period. She's
noticed an increase in bulk item sales this
year and the shop has sold a lot of
"cutehearts," small candy hearts with a
message on each one.
Prices range from $11.00 for some
elaborate boxed candies to l O cents for
individual candies. Harrington, as well as
all the other sales people, emphasized
shopping early. I can't help but agree;
loved ones deserve the consideration of
acknowledgement early, not at the last'
minute.

Brea king up over coffe e
by Steve Lemken and Clifford A. Welch
Historically, the United States has been
a major coffee-consuming nation since the
pre-RevoJution days. Last year, U.S.
consumers spent $6 bil1ion on coffee and
guzzled 12 pounds of the beverage per
individual. The price has risen from less
than $1 per pound to nearly $3 per pound in
a year. And all the while the coffee
growers arp shouting shortages (by nature,
civil strife, and the Jack of profits), the
world demand for coffee is crying ... ''One
more cup of coffee for the road."
Europe has upped its import by ten
mi11ion bags (a bag represents 132.2
pounds of coffee). Japan entered the
wanting list by taking in six per cent of
world exports in 1976. The Soviet Union
has also become a major importer although
it is not known whether the action was
taken to increase trade with coffee.exporting nations or to improve the
consumer living standards.
But where does this lead average U.S.
citizens in their "pursuit of happiness?"

Neighbors," was cablecast on Teleprompter station KOZY (cable 11) on
Tuesday Feb. 1. The series will continue
every Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. through
March 15.
Currently the only information available
about neighborhoods is through the
various newsletters put together by the
neighborhood groups themselves. Producer Sam Sadler hopes to expand that
source. He believes his series will
strengthen the groups by making the entire
community more aware of what has and
can be done by neighborhoods.
Each half-hour program will consist of a
combination of news stories, filmed
reports, and in-studio interviews with
selected members of Eugene's 17 chartered neighborhood associations.
Sadler, a TV student in the Mass
Communication Department , hopes to
'' further the level of participation of
neighborhood groups" with his series. " I
basically feel that (strong neighborhood
groups) will strengthen the quality of life in
Eugene for people to have more control
over the decisions made about where they
live."
Sadler is far from a typical LCC student.
He has received B.A. in psychology from
Vanderbilt University and a: masters in
Regional Planning from the Unive~sity of
Pennsylvania. He has lived in Eugene for
two years and is currently pursuing his
interest in video at LCC.
Sadler points to the conflicts that often
arise between the goals of city planners
and neighborhood interests. He feels the
two need to work cooperatively in
determining final plans for any one area
but he says that most of the power is in the
hands of the city government currently, not
the neighbors. "The city planners have a
role in keeping a perspective, perhaps, on
what is happening over the whole city,''
said Sadler, "but I think the idea that an
expert, on whatever level, can come down
to another level and tell people what's best
for them is falacious reasoning. The
people know best what their needs are.''
KOZY is making the cable time available
to LCC without charge ori the basis of
Sadler' s proposal.
Other KLCC-TV productions are also
being prepared for possible cablecasting
on KOZY. Hays is the producer of "Metro
Kitchen," a cooking show which he claims
wilJ be "delicious." Early this term
"Friday Night, Dead or Alive," a special
"spoof" of an area TV news casting, was
also aired from KOZY.
Capt. B. Woodie, the designer of the set,
is the technical director. Tonner Hays is
again lending his graphic"skills to the effort
while Jack Anderson and Steve Kaluza
contribute their proficiency with KLCC' s
16 mm. film camera. Bruno Cohen will
anchor the newscast portion of the program
and split interviewing duties with Sadler.

"Union Maids is an exhilarating and
thoroughly enjoyable documentary about
the lives of three women who became
union organizers in the 1930's. Superb
archival footage shows Depression breadlines, workers mutilated by machinery,
police attacking strikers and thousands of
workers marching in protest. Pete Seeger
and the Almanac Singers provide rousing
labor songs of the period.''
"But most of all the movie is a moving
tribute to three courageous women and a
compelling study of a critical period in the
history of American labor:''
So wrote Linda Gross, movie reviewer
for the Los Angeles Times. Focusing on
the lives of Stella Nowicki, Katherine
Hyndman, and Sylvia Wood, Union Maids
is a tribute to the strength of all women.
Katherine remembers the time a mob
gathered around the house of an evicted
family guarded by armed policemen who
threatened to shoot the first person who
wa'lked past them. Saying to herself, ''am I,
a radical or am I not a radical'', Katherine
walked past the police line and kicked open
the door, moving a cop to take off his hat
and pass it around, trying to collect the
evicted people's rent.
Union Maids will be shown on the LCC
campus on Friday, February 11, at 12
noon, in Math 215. It is an hour long, and
admission is SO cents. The event is being
co-sponsored by the Willamette Valley
chapter of New American Movement and
the LCC Women's Awareness Center.
Qn Sunday, the movie is being shown at
124 Science, University of Oregon campus,
at 7:30 and 8:45. On Monday the 13th it
will be shown in 110 Fenton, U of 0

Women prepare for Penguin contest
by Jack Scott
The women's basketball team will put
their unbeaten mark on the line against
Clark in Vancouver, Wa. tomorrow at
6:30 p.m.
The Titan women, now 10-0, tied with
the Penguins for the league title last year.
And now, according to I.ane coach Sue
Thompson, her forces will be out to prove
that they are capable of claiming the
championship alt for themselves this year.
They tuned for their key match-up with
two impressive home wins over Oregon
Institute of Technology, 59-38, Friday and
Linn-Benton, 61-45, Monday. "Those two
wins have really helped us get ready for the
Clark game," said Thompson, claiming
that her club was able to work on new
strategies and add some playing time for
the bench.
Alt but two players scored in the OIT
contest with Teri Booth netting 14 and
Janel Huse 10 to lead the way. The most
important aspect of this game, however,
was that the visitors were a scrappy,
physical team with a penchant for full-court
pressure. and Lane was able to handle
them easily. "Our players were poised
against their press,'' explained Thompson,
citing how her team was able to avoid the
mistakes they try to force on other teams
themselves.
Everybody scored against Linn-Benton
with Booth again leading with it, Loree
McKay adding 10 and four others adding
six counters. They also achieved one of the
goals they established before the game by
connecting on 25 of 62 field attempts for an
impressive 42 percent clip. "The only
other time we were able to shoot that well
was aginst Clackamas with 43 percent."
beamed Thompson.
The Titans were at a distinct height
disadvantage against the Roadrunners.
"They had three girls who were 5-10 or
taller. plus another who was at least 6-6,"
estimated Lane's coach. Nonetheless, the
Roadrunners could only claim a slight
36-31 margin on the boards. And they
had to concede a lot of quickness to Lai_e to
do that.

Instead, Creed elected to begin travel to

for a non-counting match. After that it's

badminton play

This college hosted the Oregon State
Limited Badminton Tournament Sunday.
The competition was limited to state
residents registered with the Oregon
Badminton Association. Participants flocked here from throughout the state,
especially the Portland area.
Three Lane students placed in the
tourney. Adeline Leung teamed with
Oregon student Elsie Spinning for a first
place in B Women's Doubles. Kenny
Wong and Gene Arvene captured second
in B Men's Doubles.
"In the past, people from Portland
usually took home most of the trophies.
However, this year. Portl~nd was not the
powerhouse it has been in the past,''
explained Dale Crawford, president of the
OBA. "People from Eugene, particularly
Lane Community College. are becoming
more and more of a threat."

That was apparent from the beginning.
The locals utilized full court pressure to
rattle Linn-Benton and jumped out to a 120 lead in the initial four minutes. They
eventually stretched that margin to as
much as 21 points and coasted to 34-15
intermission lead. The anti-climactic
second half went much the same with the
Lane lead fluctuating between 10 to 20
points.

The men's basketball squad currently
sits in fourth place in Round II of OCCAA
action following their narrow win over Blue
Mountain, 63-61, in Pendleton Saturday.
The Titans fought from behind most of
the night and finally gained a 60-all tie with
3 :57 to play. The scored remained
deadlocked until Lane's Kevin McCarthy
sank a six foot jumper with 1:18 remaining
for a two point lead.
Blue Mountain's Gale tower was then
fouled with 20 seconds leu but missed the
second shot of a one-and-one opportunity
to cut the lead to one point. Titan Steve
Halverson rebounded the gift, was fouled
but missed his opportunity to ice the win.
However, Mike Haberly picked up the
carom and it then looked like Lane could
run out the clock. But no, he took a shot,
missed, and the Timberwolves had possession again with little time remaining.
Blue Mountain's Brent Merriman, an
outstanding shooter, then launched a 25
footer in desperation but luckily -. missed.
Halverson grabbed the rebount, was fouled
again and connected on a gift toss for the
two point final spread.
•~we switched our defense from a zone
to a man to man in order to force some
turnovers in the second half, which we did

'Good ·' fat vs. 'bad' fat;
Are you eating the right kind?

Vol. 14 No. 17 February 10, 1977

Prevention of heart disease brings a
need for knowing what kind of fat you
should be feeding your body.
About 40 percent of the fats we eat
con,e from foods in which fat is the
principle ingredient. These foods
include butter, lard, margarine, shortening, salad and cooking oils, mayonnaise, and salad dressings.
Lowering of markedly elevated
cholesterol levels by changing one's
diet is generally considered desirable,
though it remains to be actually
proven that such a reduction decreases the risk of coronary heart
disease. Saturated fatty acids and
cholesterol in the diet tend to raise
serum cholesterol concentrations;
polyunsaturated fatty acids tend to
lower them.
Large amounts of saturated fatty
acids are found in coconut oil, palm
oil, and the fats of beef, pork, and
lamb. Predominately mono or polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in
soy beans, cotton seeds, sunflower
seed, corn and olive oils, poultry and
fish.
Both animal fats and butter contain
cholesterol, but fats and oils obtained
from plants generally contain only
small amounts, if any.
Fats change during manufacture.
Limited hydrogenation of natural
liquid plant oils gives the fat greater
flavor stability while permitting it to
remain liquid and polyunsaturated,
although less so than in the natural
state. More extensive hydrogenation
further reduces unsaturation of fatty
acids, while changing the product to a
semi-solid. Margarines are often a
blend of two or more partiallyhydrogenated oils and sometimes also
include unhydrogenated oils.
Margarine sold in a stick that holds
its shape at room temperature usually
contains a relatively low proportion of
polyunsaturated acids. When a larger
amount of liquid oil is used to increase
the amount of polyunsaturated acids,
it cannot be formed into a stick and is
usually packaged in a 'tub' or bowl.
Some 'diet' margarines may be soft
because they contain lar_ge amounts of
water. So . . . read your labels and
watch for polyunsaturates!
An effective cholesterol-lowering
diet probably should include a reduction in calories, cholesterol and saturated fatty acids. Such a diet may be
the first step in preventing some forms
of future heart problems.
