LCC." Carter referred indirectly to the
Federal Family Education Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974 (the "Buckley
Amendment") as the cause for such a
International Women's·
restriction on information.
Under the Buckley Amendment the only
student information that can be released
without permission from the student is
what is called "directory information."
This information consists of the student's
name, address, phone number, date and
place of birth, field of study, enrollment
dates, degrees, awards, activities, and
.Physical information.
•'The new LCC student directory will
include only the student's name, address,
zip code, and phone number," stated
Carter. He also added that ''This is a
student service and will serve no commercial purpose."
But if a student does not wish to be
included in the directory, noted Registrar
Robert Marshall, the student can complete
a '' directory exclusion card'• available at
checker ''A'' in the registration line.
Marshall said that each term students who
do not wish to appear in the directory must
fill out a directory exclusion card for that
term.
According to Marshall, there have been
considerable requests for a student directory and now that there will be such a
directory students will have a much easier
time getting in touch with each other.
One main directory will be in the Student
Activities area, located in the Center
Building, but other copies will be in the
offices of the Dean of Students and
Registrar.
Day on Tuesday
The United States doesn't recognize
International Women's Day, but the
rest of the world and the women in
Eugene do. The March 8 celebration
that has been recognized since 1908,
features a variety of activities that
begin in the Eugene downtown mall.
Lunch-hour entertainment is planned -- singing, dancing, and cultural
displays.
Foreign students are

to emphasize . the scooe of the
celebration. If it rains, as it so often
does this time of the year, the
brown-bag gathering will move to the
Atrium at Olive and 10.
KLCC plans a full day of women's
programming from 6 am to 1 am.
Women's music and musicians, interviews, and radio plays will be
featured.
Festivities will extend into the
evening with a party at the Laurelwood Center, on Columbia and 27.
Dancing', entertainment, and a potluck
dessert are planned from 8 pm to 11

he felt the collective decision would be to
keep the department a separate entity.
"I'm sure that this will be confirmed when
we get our heads together," he said.
Joyce Hopps, dean of the instructional
division which includes Mass Communication. affirmed her previous position;
"My recommendation is c,ertainly to leave
the Mass Communication Department
organized the way it is."
Dean of Instruction Gerald Rasmussen
agreed, saying "I see no reason that I
would disagree with maintaining Mass
Communication as a separate department.
He said he had reviewed Hopps' position
paper and had also been doing ''random
sampling interviews," among people who
would be affected by or had opinions on a
possible merger.
"Of course, I'm really happy they've
decided not to do it,'' said Mike
Hopkinson. He said that as a member of
the depar~ment and acting chairman, he
feels that having a separate department is
academically sound. "It is consistent with
the nation-wide trend to group mass
communications together," he sai~.
Schafer had said earlier that it is college
policy to review organizational structure
whenever there is a department chair
vacancy. Rasmussen had hoped to hire a
professional from outside the college to do
a structural analysis of the department and
report on the pros and cons of keeping it or
merging it with other departments, but
was unable to do so because of lack ·of
funds.
Sen ate may lighten sc hoo I
costs for families
A bill designed to provide a tax incentive
for people to save for the future costs of
their education was recently introduced in
the Oregon Legislature. The bill - Senate
Bill 636 - has the active support of the
Oregon Student Lobby.
Sponsors of the bill are Senators
Kafoury, McCoy, Meeker, Wingard and
Roberts and Representatives Chrest,
Frohnmayer, Kerans, Klein, Marsh,
Martin, Burrows, and Van Vliet. The bill
was introduced on February 22, 1977 and
referred to the Committee on Revenue and
School Finance on February 23, 1977.
The bill grants a tax credit of 20 percent
of up to $250 of funds deposited in "an
educational savings plan." It is intended
to counteract the discouragement to such
saving which results from present financial
aid requirements and also to help middle
income students and parents.
As Senator Steve Kafoury, Democrat,
Portland, sponsor of this legislation, noted,
"Educatio~ costs have risen tremendously
in the fast few years. Although there are
financial programs for low income people,
middle income parents can no longer afford
to send their kids to school."
In the event that such funds are not used
for education costs, the bill provides for a
the preceding years. Also, the program
terminates on the student's attainment of
tax penalty equal to the credit received in
25 years of age or enrollment in a
post-secondary institution.
The bill is part of a whole legislative
platform which is being actively supported
by the Oregon Student Lobby.
Rep. Grattan Kerans, Democrat,
Eugene, is supporting this bill and others
which will benefit middle income persons.
He stated, "Many students and their
families are too poor to finance a college
education by themselves, and too wealthy
to qualify for low income scholarships or
grants."

Weaving revival causes space shortage
by Janice Brown
Currently there are two weaving classes;
A revival in the popularity of weaving each has ten students, but not all the
has caused a space shortage in the students who apply for admission to Alda
classrooms at LCC.
Vinson's weaving class can be admitted.

The classes are held in a very small room
on the first floor of the Art and Applied
Design Building. The room is crammed
with several styles and sizes of looms,
leaving little space to work in. All of the
looms are available for class room work,
and some smaller looms are available to
the students for home usage.
The cost of a loom varies, according to
size, and quality, starting at $92, up to
$1000. The average value of a floor loom at
LCC is $300.
Jan Dunham, Mary Jane Coons, and
Lois Smith are three of Vinson's students.
These three _students agreed that the
weaving instruction at LCC is demanding.
The students work under pressure, and are
required to turn in pieces per term.
Students interested in taking the class
should be willing to spend some money.
Jan Dunham, a first term student, said
in an interview on Feb. 24, that the cost of
wool she used. for a woven sampler,
submitted for credit, was $16. There are
ways of curbing the cost, however, by
buying old sweaters at Goodwill stores,
washing, redying, unraveling, and reusing
the yarn.
According· to Dunham, the old yarn is
usable and best suited to the weft
(horizontal) only, because yarn used for the
warp (vertical), should be about 114 inches
in length, and old ·yarn is inconsistant in
length. Free yarn is available to work with
in the classroom, but the choice of colors is
limited.
The meticulous preparation of the looms
for weaving is an element requiring
patience on the part of the student. In the
first and second term, classes, students
have the opportunity to learn the workings
and preparation of a variety of looms. Also
offered is, instruction in the spinning and
dying of fleece.
The quality of patience counts in other
areas too. Lois Smith said, "To be a good
weaver, you have to be a good unweaver. "
Smith took the weaving class to enhance
her productivity in her spare time. She has
experience in other areas of yarn work-knitting, macrame, and stitchery. Her
preference in the yarns she uses tends
towards the brighter colors. Currently she
is working on a large hanging done in the
"lace" style, made entirely of blue yarn.
The term "lace" is used because the yarn
is woven so that it leaves open spaces.
Smith is a perfectionist; the criticisms of
her work by her family give h.er the
encouragement to unravel the critical area
and re-do it until it is perfect. Smith's goal
is to complete a large tapestry to hang in
her new home, which was designed by her
architect husband.
Unravelling is a major time consuming

by Arlene Eisen
Reprinted from the Guardian
Third of a series •"Women's real place is in the
home. Women aren't serious about
working. They only work for extras.
They're not committed to the job.
They're absent too often. They can't
be relied on.''
•"Women are naturally dextrous.
They don't mind routine work. Men
are naturally more.-restless. Women,
by nature, are better at detail work
and serving others."
••'Men prefer not to work with
women, let alone take orders from
them."
•"Women don't want responsibility
on the job or promotions that would
add to their work load.' '
•"Women get the worst jobs
because they're used to being passive.
They don't know how to fight for their
rights and they are hard to unionize."
This is just a small sampling from
an elaborate system of male chauvinist
thought that is invariably cited to
"explain" why nearly all women who
work can only get "women's jobs."
These myths, like all myths used to
perpetuate oppression, hold the oppressed responsible for their own
predicament.
These sexist myths express the
legacy of centuries of male supremacy
and serve to rationalize and reinforce
male supremacy in the job market
today. But they cannot explain why
the job market is systematically
structured to force women intc
low-paying, routine, menial, temporary and insecure jobs. Male
supremacy in the form of sex
segregation in the labor market, along
with white supremacy, are the defining features of the segmentation of
the labor market, without which
monopoly capitalism would colfapse.
Sex segregation persists not necessarily because of the tenacity of
partriarchal myths (although these do
have their etlect), but rather because
it performs three vital functions for
imperialism: (1) To maintain profits in
labor-intensive, marginal industries,
(2) To maintain the control of
monopoly capital over production and
(3) To thwart the development of
revolutionary class consciousness-all
of which are interrelated to minimize
corporate risks and maximize profits.
The superexploitation of women,
Black and other third world workers is
a condition of survival for many
individual firms •in competitive, declining, seasonal and marginal industries. In the textile industry, food
processing industry and for many of
the marginal firms that are important
suppliers and subcontractors for the
larger monopolies, the superexploitation of the labor force makes profit
possible. But to understand the full
significance of labor market segmentation, we must check out history.
MONOPOLIES' EARLY MOVES
The Black militias, people's parliaments and militant trade unions
launched in the South after the Civil
War alerted the burgeoning monopolies that unity between Black and
white workers could be fatal to
monopoly rule. The Hayes-Tilden
sellout of 1876-which withdrew Union
troops and gave free'reign to white
terror-signaled the beginning of
counterrevolution and the restoration
of white supremacy in the South.
Black people were forced into a
semi-feudal peonage which became
the cornerstone of the segmented
labor market in the U.S. as a whole.
The existence of this vast pool of
cheap labor served as a reserve labor
force-available for employment when
the economy was expanding without
requiring an increase in wage rates.
In addition, the subordination of Black
workers who were permanently employed made it possible to reap
superprofits from their exploitation,
and also operated as a regulator of the
level of concessions made to white
male workers.
Between 1870 and 1920, the ruling
class consciously consolidated the
segmented labor market to maintain
By 1900. mass
its hegemony.
production, the erosion of craft
distinctions and the brutality of work
in heavy industry created a militant,
relatively homogenous white industrial work force. •·Scientific management"-known as Taylorism-perfected the segregation of the labor
market by race and sex in a deliberate
effort to abort the development of
workers' solidarity.
Taylorism created a hierarchy among workers-reinforced by the persistent availability of surplus workers:
first immigrants from Europe, then
Black people, Asian people, Mexicano
and Puerto Rican people and women.
The hierarchy was designed to meet
the need for political and social control
of workers. Contrary to employers'
propaganda, it had little to do with the
requirements of technology. Taylor
wrote frankly in 1913:
"When aU are paid one rate, it is
the simplest and almost inevitable
thing for all to unite in support of a
common demand.
. . .The good worker who is adequately
paid does not consider himself aggrieved so willingly nor will he so
freely jeopardizing his standing by
joining with the so-called 'marginal
workers.' There are not likely to be

mented labor market to be the most
forceful, material way to break that
''union of interest.'' The conspiracy
by the steel industry, the auto industry
and every other major industry is part
of the historical record. (WeHdocumented in the anthology "Labor
Market segmentation'' edited by
David Gordon and others.) After
Carnegie Steel Corp. broke the

"""
Homestead Steel Strike in 1892, it had
a free hand in establishing control
over its workers through wage differentials, job ladders, fringe benefits,
welfare policies and job definitions
that divided mental and manual labor.
These programs aimed to convince
white male workers they had no
"union of interest" with Black or
women workers.
Every large corporation developed
its own internal job market and rarely
had to hire workers from outside .
Promotion from within both motivated
and disciplined the company's workforce. Fringe benefits that tied
workers to specific firms also intensified segmentation. Outsiders-particularly women and Black peoplecould only break barriers to employment in monopolized industries when
management chose to use them to
discipline and control the white male
workers. For example, to counter
growing labor unrest, in 1912 Ford
first hired Black people to work-but
on,y in his plant's foundries. They
acted as a threat to discipline white
assembly line workers who did not
perform according to Ford's standards. Predictably, Black people and
women were also hired as scabs.
But as a rule, they could only count on
jobs in the competitive, marginal, lowpaying industries, or in new areas of
clerical and service work .
Petty_ bourgeois sections of the
- women's movement have tended to
view the state as an allv of women's
iberation - somehow more pro-woman
than business. But, the state is, as
Lenin wrote, "an organ of class rule,
an organ for the oppression of one
class by another." As such, the
government has consistently collabra ted with corporate interests to
perpetuate sex segregation in the
labor market. State policies toward
the bourgeois family, women workers,
women's education and welfare are
designed to ensure the hegemony of
monopoly capital and white and male
supremacy.

To the Editor:
In the F~b. 10 issue of the TORCH the
"Doc Talk" section contained a sexist
graphic by Jan Brown. Although this may
sound a bit absurd one must consider the
subconcious implications involved. "Bad"
fat is portrayed as a wide stanced male
devil while "Good" fat is portrayed as a
smiling innocent angel. For continuation
of this discussion one must realize that the
mind is made uo of manv levels of
, consciousness. This graphic preys on the
subconscious mind. To the untrained eye
this graphic seems very harmless, but
actually one is being conditioned to see
man as a basicaUy evil being and women as
basica]]y good. (Consider old westerns -the black-hatted man is evil, the
white-hatted-man is good--the same sort of
principle is involved here.).
Social prejudice is formed deep within
the mind responding to the various stimuli
perceived and encountered. This graphic
may we11 have tipped a precariously
balanced ego to fall to the level of thought
that makes one basicaUy evil. So what does
this have to do with the price of eggs in the
Penn Krest
country?
To the Editor;
I have noticed, along with other
members of the TORCH staff, that we
continue to utilize sexist-oriented advertising in our paper. I am referring to
the recent ads for production manager.
Here, the reader sees a very mascuHnt=:
looking caricature who apparently portrays
the TORCH's image of a production
manager. Yet, in all fairness, shouldn't a
woman also be portrayed in this ad?
Is the position closed to women? If it is
not. then why must we continue to support
the outdated and sexist view that managerial positions are restricted to men
exclusively?
The TORCH is a fine paper. Yet it is
minor flaws like this that can cause
immense misunderstandings between our
paper and the community. Lets be fair in
our advertising and try to strive for a
non-sexist pa_per.
With deep concern.

ALIRT-provides support for rape victims
.
-
by Janeese Jackson
"The ALIRT Rape Team's purpose is to
provide emotional support and information
to rape victims and victims of any sexual
crime." Another function of ALIRT is to
educate the community and the victims in
order to end misconceptions and myths
surrounding rape, according to Marsha
Morgan, community liaison officer and
co-ordinator for Associated Lane Interagency Rape Team (ALIRT).
Morgan conducted an informal talk and
discussion on Feb. 28 on how to deal with
sexual assault.
"Forcible rape is one of the nation's
fastest growing crimes," said Morgan,
speaking during Rape Prevention Week.
The ALIRT Team is involved in the
=investigation and prosecution of a rape.
Morgan said when the rape is reported, a
police officer is immediatedly sent to the
scene for the victim's protection until one
of the two women investigators from
ALIRT can arrive. The woman investigator
will accompany the victim to the hospital to
check for any physical trauma related to
the rape and ALIRT will pay for the
medical exam.
Morgan said the woman investigator will
then proceed to take the victim to city hall,
or home if preferred, to acquire details of

There will be a need to deal with the give
and take of relationships, but little patience
to deal with the ego problems of
individuals. Others seem to interfere with
personal creative endeavors, and you
won't be able to do your own thing
independently, or with encouragement
-from others. This will be frustrating.
Friday most of us will have settled down
to some organizational plan determined not
to let things continue to be out of control.
Those of you who are able to take full
advantage of this influence will accomplish
much. It is a good time to get things under
control before the Full Moon on Saturday.
This Full Moon will culminate the past
frustration with relationships. People are
likely to be sensitive and defensive.
Particularly mutable signs like Gemini,
Virgo, Saggitarius and Pisces will be ready
to throw up their hands and walk out.
Any uncontrolled tension will have reached
the breaking point. For many of you your
head will be swimming and you will
wonder what happened. Things will not be
clearly spelled out and easy to understand.
Sunday the Moon enters Libra. which
may only further cloud the issue in an
attempt to gloss over difficulties which will
have to be dealt with sooner or later.
Monday is a day to pursue any thing
which needs further attention. This time
can be used to advantage by just holding
on in a persistent effort to solve a problem
situation satisfactorily. Your efforts will
pay off.
Tuesday you must fight off illness as a
result of failure to achieve your goals.
Let go. ,Back away. Get some perspective.
It isn't worth being sick over.
Wednesday you may find yourself in the
middle of a conflict or be pulled in two
opposing directions at the same time. This
will not be easy to handle, although there
will be solutions if you stay at thf center
without shirking any responsibilities on
either side.

"I wish I were twins," summed up Mike
Hoggan as he explained how busy he is
kept at his position as a coordinator in the
Cooperative· Work Experience (CWE)
Program here at LCC.
CWE is a program designed to provide
students with for on-the-job education
while and simultaneous college credit for
the experience.
Hoggan's job includes the responsibility
of placing students in part-time and full
time jobs, then visiting over 60 students
one to four times during the term at their
job sites. He meets with the student and
employer, gives vocational guidance and
advice to the student on the program, and
evaluates the student's performance at the
end of the term to assign a grade.
He also goes out and talks to prospective
employers to let them know about the
program at Lane. "We're selling a
valuable product here--the LCC student
and his or her knowledge".
According to a bulletin printed by the
CWE department, Lane's program is very .
strong. It is currently the 27th largest of
the 726 programs offered by colleges and
universities in the United States and r
Canada. Over 1,600 LCC students enrolled
in the program right now and Hoggan can
see it going nowhere but up. He likes to a
recruit students for the programs but
adds ... when a student just walks through
my door and wants a job, it proves to me
that he (she) has enough guts to go out and
do a good job in the field''.
A combination of services are available
to students through the Cooperative Work
Experience Program. CWE students
receive help in locating part-time and
permanent jobs, guidance about career
expectations and demands, and opportunities to work in volunteer postions.
Hoggan said students get in resume
preparation and job interviewing skills,
and financial aid.

the assault- for a crime report which is
submitted to the district attorney. A
woman deputy district attorney on the
Rape Team handles the case in court. And
as a follow up, the ALIRT Team will refer
the victim to a counselor, if needed.
Two conditions are likely to be found in a high risk district of rape, Morgan said:
Bad Lighting and a high density population.
Morgan suggested that women buy the
piercing whistles, which are available
through the LCC Women's Awareness
Center, as a deterrant to prospective
rapists.
According to ALIRT statistics, 70
percent of the rape suspects in Lane
County are identified and the conviction
rate is also up.
"We should deal with rape as an assault
rather than a sexual crime," Morgan told
the group, ''because the idea of sex leads
the jury into moral judgmen_ts.'' Morgan
feels that rape is a crime of violence and
that the motivation is more often general
.
hostility toward women than lust.
ALIRT is emphasizing two goals for rape
prevention: Changing the public attitude
toward rape and getting women working
together.

NORML pushes pot refor~
by Paul Yarnold
More than 500,000 persons were arrested in the United States last year on various
marijuana charges, according to Lane
County District Attorney Pat Horton.
Horton has worked closely with the
National Organization for the Reform of
Marijuana Laws, in an effort to ease what
he termed "excessive" penalties for
possession of small amounts of the weed.
Horton is a regional contact for NORML's
Washington office, but does not officially
represent the group.
NORML has taken.a front line position in
rigorously opposing what Horton termed
"the legislation of morals."
NORML organizers are hopeful for new
federal breakthroughs with the infusion of
the Carter Administration, according to
Horton. Supporters in the U.S. Senate
include Sen. Birch ·Bayh (D-lndiana) and
Sen. Jacob Javitz (D-New York).
Sheriff Oave Burks of the
Lane County Sheriff's Department, finds the present
marijuana laws '' ... hypocritical
... Marijuana ought to be legalized completely, or made illegal across the board.''
In Oregon, NORML members are
supporting the legislative efforts of State
Senator Stephan Kafoury (D-Portland).
According to the Clackamas Community
College newspaper, the Cougar Print,
Kafoury will introduce legislation to
further liberalize state marijuana laws,
sometime during the 1977 legislative
session.
The upcoming reforms if passed would
make possession of less than one ounce of
marijuana legal, as well as the sale of less
than one ounce. Cultivation would also be
made legal, in controlled amounts, according to the Print.
'' Oregon set in motion an irreversible
process (with passage of the original
decriminalization legislation in 1973). . .
Marijuana is the recreational choice of
many Americans;" said Horton, in an
interview with the TORCH last week.
The 1973 Legislation, now often used as
a model for other states to consider,
_lowered penalties for possession of less
than one ounce of marijuana to a $100 fine
or less. NORML is spearheading lobbying
efforts in states where decriminalized
statutes have not been adopted, according
to Horton.

said Horton.
I feel the present laws put my officers in
the middle," Burks said. "It is not their
job to interpret .. .intentions ... but to enforce the law in a uniform manner.''
On the legislator's role, the Sheriff
reflected that ''. . . they must look at the
whole (drug) problem-not just marijuana;
then go one way or the other in dealing
with it.''
Hypothetical alternatives mentioned by
Burks for consideration were decriminalization of heroin and cocaine, and the
possible legalization and taxation of
marijuana.

issue), the main reason that reform
measures died in committee last year was
fear by the legislators of voter reaction.
"Sometimes legislators are chicken," he
said.
Kafoury, in an informal session with
Clackamas Community College students,
expressed optimism concerning this year's
upcoming marijuana legislation. His
optimism hinged in part on recent findings
linking the use of marijuana (experimentally with certain healing properties.
According to the Cougar - P;int, Kafoury
believes that state legislators ". . .are
more enlightened on the subject of
marijuana than they were in 1975.''
According to Kafoury, individual letters
to legislators in Salem are the most
effective means of lobbying for this type of
reform.

element of weaving. Mistakes can occur
often. According to Coons, lack of
concentration, caused by distraction of
other people working and talking in the
same room, is a factor causing the weaver
to err. Dunham prefers to do her weaving
outdoors in the summer, and says that a
quiet spot is the most advantageous
atmosphere for a weaver.
The weaving students participate in field
trips. This year the classes visited two
yarn shops, The Black Sheep, in
Corvallis, which specializes rn weavmg
materials and carries a large variety of
yarns in many colors, and in McMinville,
the shop of Robin And Russ.
At the end of the terms, the classes have

contributes something, and the conversation centers around the students' futures
in weaving.
Dunham, who has a background in batik
and pottery, found weaving difficult in the
beginning, and wanted to quit, but she
stuck it out and is glad that she did. She
said of her work "I'm proud of what I do."
Her advice to other beginning weavers ...
'' Keep the faith, and know you are going to
be able to finish."
First term weavers meet on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday 1 p.m.-3 p.m.
Second term meets on Tuesday and
Thursday 8:30-11 :30. There are some
advanced students who are on an independent scheduling system; they come to
the class room at their own convenience.

Men and women who have an active sex
life should be checked for Venereal Disease
every two months, especially women.
This recommendation came from Jenny
Hayes, a registered nurse with the LCC
•Student Health Service. This is especially
important for women, she says, because
females can have the disease for, sometimes, six• months without any visible
symptoms. Scarring of the fallopian tubes
with Ampicillin also, but strictest confidence will be maintained. The contact
will not even know where the clinic got the
information, Hayes said.
CASE B:
A male patient, in his early twenties,
came into the clinic to be treated with
Ampicillin for gonorrhea. He was the
sexual contact of Case A. He had been
experiencing a burning sensation upon
urination and had a discharge from his
penis.
He was cultured and the discharge was
given the Gram Staining procedure, a
double check for the germ. His tests were
positive, so he asked to give the names of
any sex partners he had had so they could
be treated.
CASE C:
A female patient, in her late teens, came
in as a result of the treatment of her sex
partner, Case B. She had been having a
vaginal itch with a smelly discharge. She
had assumed it to be another type of
vaginitis or vaginal infection.

the age of 12 years can be treated for V.D.
without parental knowledge or consent, he
continued.
Venereal disease, specifically gonorrhea, is becoming epidemic in the U.S.;
one out of every four high school students
will have a bout with it before graduation
this year, according to TV reporter Geraldo
Rivera on ABC's "Good Morning, America's" Feb. 23 telecast.
Lane County alone treated 1,000 patients
last year, according to John Schroder. This
fact is only the tip of the iceberg, he says,
since between 3,000 to 5,000 people in the
county have it, spread it, and are not aware
of it.
All patients are now treated with
Ampicillin. However, if there is an allergy
to this penicillin-related drug, Tetracycline
can also be used effectively.
The other venereal or sex-spread
diseases include syphilis, genital herpes,
and nonspecific urethritis (NSU).
Syphilis is an infection characterized by

names were taken and they were called in
to be treated.
can occur, Hayes went on, and a woman
could be on her way to sterility before she
even knows she is infected.
CASE A:
A female patient, in her early twenties,
came into the Student Health Service
complaining of heavy bleeding during her
menstrual period, a burning pain upon
urination and a general vague pelvic
discomfort. She was checked immediately
for gonorrhea.
•
The nurse conducted a pelvic exam and
took a smear of the vagina and rectum to be
sent in for a culture analysis. This culture
can be done with menstrual bleeding
present.
The report of the culture came back in 48
hours with a positive stamp.
The young woman was called to come
back in for treatment. Her treatment
consisted of seven Ampicillin capsules and
two Benamid tablets. These nine pills
taken all at once will usually kill the
gonococcus germ responsible for gonorrhea. She was asked to return in two
weeks to be recultured and, if the results
were negative, again in two months for
assurance that the disease was eliminated.
She was then advised to abstain from
sexual intercourse for 7-10 days during the
treatment period.
She was asked to give the names and
addresses of any sexual contacts she had
had in the last three weeks. (This time
period is used by the Lane County Health.
Department; LCC uses three months.)
These contacts will be given the treatment
Gonorrhea was first record.ed in the
Bible's old testament book of Leviticus
about 1,500 B.C., but science has known
how to cure syphilis since 1909 and
gonorrhea since 1943. Yet the U.S. is in
the midst of an epidemic. According to a
CASED:
A male, in his middle twenties, came in
as a result. He was treated in the same
way anyone would be because he was a
direct contact of a positively cultured
Eric W. Johnson in his book, "V.D. and
What You Should Know About It,'' states
''two thirds of all people with gonorrhea,
who are not being treated are walking
around with no symptoms or symptoms so
mild as not to be recognized."
The following are three actual cases of
gonorrhea, which have been taken from the
files of the LCC Student Health Service.
These cases are four of the hundreds taken
over the last five years. The cases will
make graphically clear the visible signs,
complications and cures for gonorrhea, the

Health Service, to insure their absolute

(genital area). This sore doesn't appear for
3-6 weeks after infection. The sore will go
away, but the germ remains.

disappears, leaving the germ behind.
After this second stage, everything will
get worse. Eventually in later years there
will be involvement of the internal organs,
insanity and death.
female. A culture was later taken also, but
the results for him were negative.
His negative result demonstrates that
"Gonorrhea is a chauvinistic disease,"
says John Schroder, jokingly. He is the
epidemiologist for the Lane County Health
Department. He says men who have
gonorrhea will give it to their female sex
partners in 99 to 100 percent of the cases;
however, women who have it will only pass
it on 20 percent of the time.
This is ·due to several factors. If the man
wears a condom he can avoid infection.
Or if he urinates or washes immediately
after intercourse, he can possibly flush out
the germs before they can take hold.
But a female who has intercourse with an
infected male cannot flush out the area
even with douching because the germs will
penetrate higher up in her vagina than the
douche can reach--she will catch the germ.
Other factors in Case D's negative
culture could have been human error on
the part of the exa~iner, outdated culture
plates, or insufficient amounts of organism
due to the short length of the incubation
time.
•
In each of these cases, all the names and
addresses were sent to the Lane County
Health Department in accordance with
state law. The names are held very
confidential, said Schroder. Anyone over

though it is sexually transmitted.
The only treatment available, he continued, is to keep the area of the sore as dry
as possible (using cornstarch) and to "take
it easy for a while." The sore will
disappear in 7-10 days, he said.
However, syphilis can be detected
accurately by a simple blood test, says
Jenny Hayes. If such a sqre is present, or
the person has been in sexual contact with
someone who has a sore, a check is
imperative. Cure is also quick with several
pills of the penicillin type, she c~ntinued.
NSU is an inflamation of the urethra (the
canal through which urine passes to the
bladder.)
It produces pain and a
discharge, but can be cured with Tetracycline.
Genital herpes is a viral infection
producing blister-like sores in the genital
area.
It is extremely painful and,
according to John Schroder, is brought on

V.D., the reasons for this problem are
ignorance (of symptoms, method of
transmission and cures) and embarrassment.
The cure for V.D. is simple--pills taken
once. But the problem is complex because
it requires getting the victim to a doctor
for a test at the Student Health Service
here at LCC, or at the White Bird Clinic, or

George Segal is perhaps funnier than ever
before as Dick, a happy-go-lucky yet
serious-when-it-counts aerospace engineer
who, overnight, finds himself and many of
his co-workers out of a job when the space
program runs out of goals to pursue.
When the fateful '' one giant step for
mankind'' is finally taken, Dick finds
himself broke, in debt up to his earlobes
and unable to find another job.
Quite by accident Dick and Jane find
themselves the center of a loan company

on them but is too scared to turn them in.
They decide to keep the money but soon
find that $2000 doesn't stretch forever.
Broke again, Dick applies for unemployment and food stamps; diligently looking
for a job in order to meet the payment on
his $73,000 house.

eighth place in
Men sPlit in playoffs, no berth
by Jack Scott
The men's basketball team was knocked
off in their first game of the league playoffs
to decide a No. 2 representative in the
Region 18 tournament by Linn-Benton,
96-85, in Albany Monday.
However. they were able to come back
Tuesday and rout Chemeketa,83-66, to nab
third place honors in the playoffs. No
spoils went with that victory, though, so to
Titan coach Dale Bates it was simply a fine
way to wrap up a disappointing season.
Umpqua managed to sneak by the host
Roadrunners to snare the berth in the
regionals. They downed Chemeketa,
71-66, in the Monday matchups and then
nipped Linn-Benton, 62-61, in the championship game. Central Oregon had already
qualified by virtue of their first place finish
in OCCAA action. The regionals are slated
tomorrow in Twin Falls, Idaho.
The loss to Linn-Benton was no shocker
for the locals. It was their fourth
confrontation with the talented Roadrunners this season and the Albany contingent
took a clean s·w eep with a two point
preseason win, two league victories and
the playoff win. Their pairing was
determined by Linn-Benton's second place
finish in the standings and Lane's fifth

The Titan grapplers traveled to Pendleton for the Region 18 wrestling tournament
Saturday.
The Titals placed eight out of 10 in team
competition with Dennis Randazzo at 126
and Mike Bramlett at 134 grabbing fourth
places in individual competition.
The tournament was dominated by North
Idaho. taking first with 98 points, Ricks
second with 83 and Clackamas third with
81. Umpqua came the closest to the top
three with only 19 team points. Lane came
up with eight points.
"We had some bad breaks," said Lane
coach Bob Creed. "We lost three
individual fourth places by very narrow
margins. If we had gotten those individual
places. they should have given us enough
team points to move us into fourth."
.. , think we did pretty well with a 4-2
win-loss record considering the bad luck
and injuries we had this season. If the
same people we had this year return next
year. we should have an outstanding
season." commented Creed.
Guard Kevin McCarthy was the only Titan
to be honored In the OCCAA all-star
selections.
Women lose to Clark again
by Sheryl Jurgena
_
The women's basketball team, fighting
unitl the end, couldn't do enough as
arch-rival Clark held on to post a slim
51-50 victory here Friday. The Chicklettes
had ruined the women's team shot at an
undefeated season earlier with a 71-48 win
in Vancouver, Washington on Feb. 25:
Lane simply ran out of time in their
comeback attempt. They managed to cut

fou I anecdote
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED magazine
published an anecdote that occured
during the men's basketball team's
91-67 defeat of Blue Mountain here
Jan. 5 in the "Scorecard" section of
their most recent issue.
It involved Mike Wick, a
Timberwolf player who previously
attended Oregon and joined a fraternity there. During that game, around
20 of his fraternity brothers who had
come to cheer him on became so vocal
that the referee, infuriated, slapped a
technical foul on the Timberwolves for
their fan's behavior. That prompted
Jerry Mosby, the Timberwolf coach, to
wonder, "How can they call a
technical foul because of the crowd
when we're 300 miles from home?"
the visitor's seven point lead to one with
six straight points in the final four minutes,
but couldn't pull out a miracle when they
needed one.
Coach Sue Thompson noted her team
gave a fine performance despite losing.
They led Clark in field goals, 21-20, and
played them evenly in other categories.
Plus, their defense was much improved
from the clubs' previous meeting. Clark
center Linda Smedley, after scoring 23
points in her team's earlier win, was not a
factor a Titan Janel Huser shut her off
inside for only two points. Still, that was
not enough.
Teri Booth led Lane with 22 counters,
hitting 9-21 field goal attempts . . Huser
added 10 points.
Linn-Benton finally did what Lane
desperat_ely wanted to do; blemish Clark's
unbeaten mark.
They downed the
Chicklettes, 42-40, in Albany Saturday.
Then, Lane knocked off the Roadrunners, 58-48. there Monday. Thompson
admitted it was a foul-filled game but
noted her club's full court pressure forced
several important steals. Huser, Cindy
Corkum and Loree McKay combined for 44
points to key the Titan victory.
Next, the Titans posted a 56-47 win over
the Oregon College of Education JV's
Tuesday in Monmouth. Lane fell behind,
23-21, in the first half but used their full
court pressure to pull ahead in the second
period to post the nine point win. Huser
led in scoring this time, hitting 12-16 from
the field and finishing with 28 points. The
Tennis practice to start today
Men's and women's tennis season starts
today although some players have been
working out since fall whenever they could
find a dry court. Anyone interested in
trying out should contact coaches Don
Wilson and Linda Osborn through the
Physical Education Department.
Wilson said ''The emphasis is going to
be placed on competition this season rather
than practice because of the number of
matches scheduled. There will be nineteen
matches between April 8 and May 10.
"We have some of the strongest players
we have ever had, in terms of skill and
attitude. I am looking forward to one of the
best seasons we've ever had," says
Wilson. He added ''The women should
also have an outstanding season. They
have many of the top players from last year
returning."

victory raised Lane's season record to 15-2.
The women will travel to Flathead,
Montana next week to face Shoreline of
Seattle in t)Jeir first game of the Northwest

place standing in the seedings, although
they finished tied with Chemeketa in fourth
place with 9-7 marks.
After the hosts had taken a 47-39
halftime lead, Lane started hot in the
second half and closed within five points.
At that point, however, Linn-Benton went
on an 11 point spree and wrapped up the
game. Roadrunners Lee Bradish and Don
Smith paced their team's victory by
combining for 49 points.
Steve Halverson was outstanding for the
Titans. He connected on 12-17 shots from
the field and finished with 27 points.
Teammates Brian Conlon and Keith
Baltzer followed with 15 and 10 points,
respectively.
Lane put it all together in disposing of
Chemeketa. They fired at a torrid 56
percent chip from the field on 33 of 61
attempts, outrebounded their foes, 50-34,
and placed each of the 10 players suited up
in the scoring column.
Lane led at the half, 34-29. They put the
Chiefs away early in the second stanza with
stingy d-e fensive play and eventually
outscored them, 49-37, to create the 17
point margin at game's end.
Four Titans scored in double figures with
Mike Kay enjoying one of his finest
performances to lead with 16 markers.
Kevin McCarthy, Conlon and Halverson
followed with 13, 12 ·and 10 points
respectively.
To even qualify _for the league playoffs,
Lane had to win at least one of their last
two league contests here. Despite losing to
the Roadrunners, 73-68, last Wednesday,
they were able to clinch a berth by edging
Clackamas, 84-81, Saturday. Five Titans
placed in double figures, headed by
McCarthy with 18 counters.
McCarthy was honored for his fine
efforts all season by being named to the
Other
OCCAA all-star first team.
members of that elite squad were Tim
Dungey and Lee Bradish from Linn-Benton, Dave Hildahl of Central Oregon and
Charles Sampson of Clackamas. No other
Titans were selected on the three all-star
teams.
Lane finished the season with a 14-15
record, only the second losing mark during
Bates' tenure here. But, as Bates points
out, his forces should be much better next
year, as all but two players will return.
