Board votes to
video-tape
bargaining
by Kathleen Monje
The LCC Board of Education voted
unanimously to video-tape its collective
bargaining session with the college's two
unions when it met last Wednesday. But it
may not happen--there is already opposition to the plan.
- A three-way agreement, between the
faculty union, the classified staff union,
and the Board is necessary before the
bargaining sessions can be recorded.
"Since the Federation feels adamantly
that it has been lied to in previous
negotiations,'' said Darrell Allyn, president of the LCC Employees Federation, ''I
think this might be a good thing . ''
However, Allyn said that the union's
executive board had already voted against
video-taping sessions.
"We would possibly agree to a courttype recording done by a third. party,''
Allyn said.
In making the motion Wednesday, Board
member Larry Perry said, "It's a novel
idea. I think it has uses and merit, and can
certainly be informative to the public.''
Other Board members agreed, but
balked at the cost of the project. Done in
the cheapest way, with reel to reel tape,
the Division of Learning Resources
estimated that the project would cost the
college $12,500. This amount is based on
the 500 hours spent in negotiation last
year.
Board member Catherine Lauris suggested just audio tape recordings of the
sessions.
The Board decided to okay Perry's
video-tape motion, but did not set a dollar
amount for funding. If both unions agree,
money for the project will be voted on at a
later meeting.
Pat John, president LCC Education
Association (the faculty union), did not
state a position on the idea.

Moore wins Board post

by Kathleen Monje
Lynn Moore, Springrield attorney, took Jim Martin's LCC
Board seat with a 232 vote
margin in Tuesday's county
election.
Moore's term begins July 1,
1977; he will serve as the
Zone Three (Springfield-Marcola) representative for four
years.
The final vote count was:
Moore, 4,505; Martin, 4,273;
Charlene Curry, 3,540; and
Margaret Tripp, 1,863.
Moore was not available for
comment, but Martin, who
has served for three years and
is chairing the Board now,
said "I don't feel at all
disappointed, what with the
amount of campaigning we
did, to· have come within 232
votes.''

Weaver hears complaints on food stamp program
by Sally Oljar
On his first visit to LCC since his
re-election last November, Fourth District
Congressman Jim Weaver heard numerous
complaints about the present food stamp
program.
Weaver is a member of the House
Agricultural Committee that is working on
a rewrite of the present program. He said
he wanted to hear the problems his
constituents faced and take those con:.:
cems b2ck to the Committee.
Students, the majority of them women,
enthusiastically complied. Several women
complained of the inequities of the various
Federal welfare programs. When applying

for food stamps, it was said, Basic
Educational Oppurtunity Grant (BEOG)
money is counted as income with regulations that the funds only be used for
school expenses. Using BEOG money as
a source of income drives up the ·
purchase price of the stamps--an increase
that pinches even more the already tight
welfare budget, they said.
It was suggested to Weaver that the
Federal programs cooperate more when
computing the income of welfare mothers
attending school. ''Try not to penalize
people who are trying to better themselves," said one woman.
Weaver made few comments, listening

to student problems more than he spoke.
He offered no solutions to what he heard.
He did say he expected the food stamp
program to be phased out in two years, in
accordance with the proposed overhaul of
the present welfare program by the Carter
Administration. He expects that cash
reimbursements will replace food stamps.
Weaver criticized the Republicans for
not wanting a food stamp program because
"ittakes money out of public pockets." He
alleged that "public pockets" were the
corporations and the wealthy. When he
was asked who would pay for the program, •
he replied, "by taxing the corporations and •
the wealthy."

Be warned , water must be conser ved

I can't say if it was a dream or not,
but last week my toilet cried ''number
four'' after I flushed it.
Perplexed at the implications this
could have on my sanity, I inquired of
the ceramic marvel before me why it
spoke. It responded:
''This household ·of four people
flushes me five times a day. I used 40
per cent of all household water. And
you folks don't have to flush after
every use."
I was stunned. Ted Hallock, a state
senator from Portland, told the Senate
Energy and Environment Committee
that toilets take 40 per cent of the
water used by a family of four. Hallock had introduced a bill before the
committee that would limit toilet tank
size to three and one half gallons ·of
future installations. The tank, usually
located on top of the toilet, now holds •
5 to 7 gallons of water.
My toilet continued: • "I use
between five to seven gallons per·

flush; that amounts to 10,000 gallons
a year for this household."
Since four . of ·us live und.e r the

usage could add up. But, I asked,
what's the difference? Oregon is the

nothing to worry about. But my
cunning commode told me different.
"Look around you, how much rain

I couldn't answer that. My verbose

by the National Weather Service
placing Oregon's rainfall 52 per cent
below normal for this time period. It
also repeated the Bonneville Power
Administration's report made in
February on the snowpack being 25

Before I could co~er my ears from any

In These Times

by Sam Kushner
On March 10, the United Farm
Workers, AFL-CIO and the Teamsters
union unveiled a jurisdictional agreement in Burlingame, Calif., that may
end a decade of battle between the two
unions over the state's farmworkers.
The sight of UFW president Cesar
Chavez standing side by side with
teamster President Frank Fitzsimmons was strange indeed. Just a few
years ago, Fitzsimmons had declared
that "as far as I'm concerned--as a
trade unionist for 47 years--Cesar
Chavez is not a trade unionist. I
wouldn't even let him be janitor in a
trade union office."
But all was sweetness and light at
the Burlingame meeting.
In a sense, the announcement was
anti-climactic.
The Teamsters had already closed
their offices in the agricultural communities and dozens of organizers had
been laid off. (ITI, Feb.9). To all
intents and purposes the nation's
largest union had already abandoned
its campaign in the California fields.
The cost •to the Teamsters of its
seve_n-year campaign to wipe out
Chavez's union has been high, more
than a million dollars annually. The
lack of worker support has also been
obvious. In spite of widespread
management assistance, the Teamsters have been able to win only 115
represenation elections since the
inception of the California Agricultural
Labor Relations Act, while the United
Farm Workers, which had to buck
both the growers and the Teamsters,
have come out with 197 victories. At

Planned Parenthood

p_raises TORCH article

the Burlingame press conference,
M.E. Anderson, director of the
Western Conference of Teamsters,
claimed his union represents 20,000
farm workers at peak season. Chavez
put his peak season membership at
40,000.
Another issue bothering the Teamsters before the agreement was
reached was UFW challenges.
Several months ago, as an act of°
"good faith," the UFW had declared a
moratorium on two large lawsuits
against the Teamsters and the growers, pending the outcome of negotiations. In one lawsuit, based on the
Teamster-growers agreement in 1970
that effectively shut out the UFW from
organizing the traditionally militant
,and decidedly pro-UFW lettuce workers, the UFW demanded some $120
million in damages. The UFW
charged that the Teamster-growers
collaboration was in restraint of trade
in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust
Act and that a conspiracy existed to fix
wages and to set terms of employment.
The other major lawsuit was filed by
the UFW as a result of the Teamster
activity in conjunction with the
growers in the grape fields following
the 1973 UFW contract expirations.
The UFW charged violations of the
civil rights of Chicano, Arab and other
workers in the fields and alleged a
Teamster-grower conspiracy to deprive UFW members of their First
Amendment rights, the right to picket,
and other rights. The UFW asked for
$86 million.
According to UFW General Counsel
Jerry Cohen, future action on these
cases ''will be discussed on their
merits" and that "no ·deal was made
on these suits in the jurisdictional
agreement." He said that"the latest
UFW-Teamsters agreement ''provides that the UFW will not file further
lawsuits based on past actions."
The five-year agreement provides
for the Teamsters to maintain jurisdiction over all workers who are covered
by the National Labor Relations Act.
This excludes agricultural workers. ·
The UFW on the other hand, will have
jurisdiction over all workers covered

by the California Agricultural Labor
Relations Act. Almost all of tl19se
ranches presently under contract with
the Teamsters will remain so until the
expiration of the current contracts.
The Teamsters may also continue to
bargain for a few ranches it now has
under contract, according to Anderson.
There is some indication that the
UFW may seek to administer some of
the present Teamster contracts in the
fields in view of the fact that there are
no Teamster Union field offices and no
organizers to enforce contract provisions.
In a joint statement at the press
confere~ce, Chavez and Anderson
said that the present antagonism
between the two unions is '' contrary to
the best interests of the worker,''
adding that ''they are an impediment
to the advancement of the overall
welfare of the worker; they are
disruptive of maximum labor solidarity; they divert energies and time
which could otherwise be . directed
toward unionization of the unorganized worker and the ultimate achievement of the united labor movement to
which all organized labor aspires."
They also noted that the inter-union
conflict "engendered actions on numerous fronts which have pitted the
parties against one another'' and that
''legal actions and conflicting legislative positions have drained resources
and diluted the power which could
have been expended to secure further
advancement for workers, the goal to
which each of the parties subscribe."
Despite all the talk about mutual
interest, some long-time UFW activists remain skeptical. They remember previous "peace" treaties between the two unions t~at were broken
by the Teamsters. There is •a little
more optimism that this pact will
actually work. In the Coachella
Valley, several hundred farmworkers
attended a hurriedly-called UFW rally
on the day the agreement was
announced. They greeted the latest
development with enthusiasm, viewing the agreement as an instrument
that will help them make the Coachella
Valley a UFW domain in the coming
months.

But there were also warnings in the
Coachella Valley, 100 miles north of
the Mexican border, that those who
wore Teamster badges and who had
harassed the UFW - were still to be
reckoned with. On the day the pact
was signed in Burlingame, Johnny
Macias, laid 1-1 off Teamster organizer who tormerly headed that union's
staff in the Coachella area, announced
the formation of the Independent
Union of Agricultural Workers, which
he said had "plenty of money" and
.which claimed the support of 49
organizers in Imperial County, Coachella Valley and throughout the San
Joaquin Valley.
Macias, known as ' ·yellow gloves'
during the turbulent 1973 days in
Coachella when Teamsters union
goons had assaulted UFW members
and supporters, declared he will seek
to bring all but two Coachella ranches
into his organization.
The UFW, meantime, is challenging
the concept of this new organization,
claiming that it is in fact not a
legitimate labor organization within
the meaning of the state law.
At -the same time, Les Hubbard,
spokesman for the Western Growers
Association, making the best of a bad
situation for the growers, announced
that the showdown between the UFW
and the growers is at hand and
predicted that it would be easier for
the growers to get the farm workers to
vote for "no union" in future
elections.
While all this jockeying was going
on between the UFW, the Growers
Association, and the Independent
Union, the UFW was entangled in a
battle with the Agricultural Labor
Relations Board. This dispute started
last summer in an election at Royal
Packing. The Teamsters won the
election, but that election was later
overturned because of company intimidation. On the eve of a second
election, a new union, which UFW
organizers charge was company inspired, intervened. At first, ALRB
agents ruled that it was not a labor
organization under the meaning of the
law. But this ruling was reversed by
state ALRB official~.

Math Notes

Metric week next month

Did you know that Kareem AbdulJabbar is 216 units tall? Or that Farrah
Fawcett-Majors' measurements are 8963.5-89? Both are true, of course. The
measurements are in centimeters instead
of feet or inches (2½ centimeters for each
inch.)
This kind of information and lots of
other displays to bring metric measures to
peoples' attention will be found in the math
department for National Metric Week,
May 9-13. Posters that translate some of
the world records in sports, show the
dimensions of our building in metrics, and
give metric measures for common items
will be on display. In addition, plans are
underway to invite some elementary
students to give us their interpretation of
metrics and display those.
The week may also include such things
as field trips by elementary groups and a
metric assignment for every student
currently enrolled in a math class.
Also, for the very ·brave, or the very
skinny, the Math Resource Center boasts a
metric scale to weigh in kilograms.
Actually, since I kilogram is like 2.2
pounds, a person weighing 120 weighs only
55.5 kilograms-sound better?

about how your statistics sound in metrics,
there are Jots of ways the math departm~nt
ca·'l help. First, there are several resource
materials like books, films and video tapes
that deal with the metric system in . our
resource center. All the MRC people are
capable of directing you to these materials
and helping you interpret them. Or, you
can even get 1 hour of math credit by taking
the open entry class, Math 2, and signing
up for the module which deals with
metrics. If you are currently enrolled in
Technical Math, or the Math for Elementary Teachers sequence, you can count on
covering metrics as a regular part of the
curriculum.
Don't wait until the last minute and still
have no awareness of the metric system.
Actually, if you can get used to it, it's really
easier to work with than our English

Childcare bill finally on its way
ASLCC President Ken Pelikan and the student government's
Administrative Assistant John Miller went to Salem last week,
joining approximately 35 other students from LCC, U of O and
other Oregon colleges and universities In an attempt to lobby
support for House Bill 2459 a.lid to demonstrate for Its full
hearing.
Pelikan and Miller met with several legislators and, according
to one member, Rep. Howard Cherry, Portland HB 2459 will
receive a full hearing by the Joint Ways and Means Committee
during the last week of April.
Although the state currently provides day care assistance for
some student-parents, eligibility excludes transfer students and
graduate students. House Bill 2459 would appropriate
$3,650,000 to the state's Children's Service Division (CSD) for
payment in the form of day care assistance to any parent wishing
to attend institutions of post-secondary education who meets the
six month residency requirement, has children 12 years of age or
younger, and who has a showing of financial need.
Plans for the demonstration at the caoitol were organized by
the Oregon Student Lobby (OSL). The demonstration became,
according to Pelikan and Miller, a prompted ''mobilization'' after
a statement made last week by Rep. Vera Katz, co-chairperson
for the Joint Ways and Means Committee. Katz said she
doubted that the bill would receive a full hearing, let alone be
passed.

Child care interest you?
Mail some postcards
Women's Center has
addresses, too
by Shelley Deneau
A campaign to send postcards to kev
legislators is the Women's Awareness
Center's (WAC) latest attempt to get more
people involved with such legislation a~ the
child-care and displaced homemaker bills.
' 'The WAC started this campaign in
order to assist people in using their own
power in getting needed changes," says
Colleen Bradshaw, staffer at WAC who, as
a single parent, is also personally affected
by both bills.
Pamphlets on bills can be obtained in the
WAC located on the second floor of the
Center Building. Current legislation
sponsored by women's groups and bill
updates are posted outside its door. To
eiiminate confusion the women make
available sample postcards, addresses of
legislators and postcards ready to •fill out
and mail.
Bradshaw, speaking on behalf of the
WAC says, ''We hope that by making the
vital information readily available more
people will want to take the initiative to
influence their representatives.''

LCC enrollment
decreases

by Paul Yarnold
"There's not going to be any dramatic
adjustments made that will be felt across
_campus," said Dean of Students Jack
Carter Tuesday, when asked about the
ramifications of LCC' s decreasing enrollment.
LCC may lose up to $280,000 in state
reimbursements as a result of this years
1. 9 percent enrollment decrease, according
to Carter. He added that the college
should be able to absorb the impact by
making "internal adjustments of funds" -long as the trend does not continue to
repeat itself. '' A two percent decrease is
not difficult to compensate for," Carter
said.
Why is the student population falling
off? Carter attributed this years decline
largely to the loss of veteran's benefits on
the part of approximately 500 LCC
students--whose federal funding ran out
last May 21st. "The number of people
eligible to attend on the G.I. Bill has been
decreased and will continue to decrease,''
Carter said.
To reverse the ebb, LCC will be hunting
for new customers in the fall, according to
Carter. He feels that in the future more
career-minded women will make use of the
programs offered here. Carter also noted
that the populace served by LCC is growing
at a four percent rate.

Performing Arts instructor stays
by Linda Mooney
"Nice people, and a nice environment/'
are two of the reasons given by Stan
Elberson as he becomes a permanent
instructor on the staff of the Performing
Arts Department ·at LCC.
Elberson was department chairman of
the Performing Arts Department at
Southwest Oregon Community College in
Coos Bay before he took a leave of absence
and came to LCC to fill in for a year, while
§ theatre instructor George Lauris was
away for this year.
But when Lauris formally resigned ·his
post in March, Elberson decided to apply
for the job. He said the new LCC
ill facilities will give him '' a new way for me
£ . to grow."
"The Lady's Not for Burning" is his
second production this year; the first was
"The Good Doctor," last fall.

"Rep. Katz is fiscally conservative," reflected Miller, adding,
"her position is much like the Legislature's general sentiment oi
reluctance to pass anything that isn't part of the Governor's
budget.''
Pelikan and Miller also spoke with Sen. Edward Fadley, and
representatives Gretchen Kafoury, Dave Frohnmayer, Macy
Burrows (all sponsors of HB 2459) and with Art Wilkenson, a
legislative budget fiscal analyst. Pelikan said Wilkenson is
instrumental with thi~ bill in that, he gives the ·Joint Ways and
Means Committee a fiscal recommendation after considering cos1
displacement. Which means, Pelikan b·e lieves he decides
whether or not the expenditure of the money for HB 2459 wiIJ
save money elsewhere.
"Constituent pressure is what we now need," _said Miller.
According to a position paper put out by the OSL, "Under HB
2459 a parent could pursue professional training at a college or
university while receiving day care assistance, and after
sufficient training have an earning capacity great enough to fully
cover child care expense during employment. The net saving in
day care expense for the state could be four to six years of public
welfare assistance at approximately $1,400 per child per year."
Miller said, ''Guidelines for affirmative action on federal and
state levels encourage legislation to provide equa, opporutnity for
employment.'' He added: ''This bill would follow those
guidelines.''
Miller, active on the LCC campus to support HB 2459, requests
all parents who would benefit from its passage, particularly those
who would otherwise be unable to attend school, to contact him
as soon as possible through the ASLCC in the Center Building or
by telephoning him at extension 220. Miller stressed that
parents are needed to testify before the full hearing committee in
April, and enourages them to write their legislator in support of
House Bill 2459.

Health Services doctor hired,
alrea.d y at work
by Kathleen Monje
The new Student Health Service physician, Stanley M~ Richmond, has been
hired and started work Monday of this
week.
''I like tbe idea of preventive medicine,''

said Richmond. "I've always been
oriented toward teaching patients."

the disease-producing effect of stress. All
Student Health Service personnel should
take part in this teaching of our patients,''
he said.
''The teaching of nurses and other
personnel . . . is certainly important and
should be done coincidentally," he feels,
''But as I understand it, the doctoring of
the patients complaints is the immediate
function of the Health Service.''

Richmond earned his medical degree at
Baylor University in Texas, and has been
an obstetrician and gynecologist in Eugene
for "roughly thirty years." "But I've
always done some family medicine,'' he
said. "There's no sense in being such a
pure specialist that you can't treat an _
infected finger.''
The new physician said he knows and
has worked with Dr. Sarah Hendrickson,
the doctor recently terminated by the
college. "She's' good at teaching patients
and nurses," he said. "I hope the recent
problems won't be a factor in my work
here."
For the last three years of his private
practice here in Eugene, Richmond used
acupuncture in patient treatment. Asked if
he would make it a part of the Health
Service, he answered that "It's not
applicable here besause it's a _repititious
. treatment, and this is primjlry health
care."

Health Services move planned
by Linda Mooney
LCC's Student Health Service (SHS) will
be moving into a new $100,000 facility next
fall.
The new clinic will be located, according
to Laura Oswalt, SHS director, on the lower
• floor of the Student Center behind the food
service area.
Paul Colvin, director of Industrial
Research and Planning said, ''The spaces
will be specifically designed and, therefore, better suited for the purpose."
Colvin continued, "Plus there will be
.better access~bility for both students and
ambulances in the new location."
The new area will be 2,134 sq.ft., an
increase of 390 sq. ft. over the old location,
Colvin stated.
The improved facilities, as described by
Laura Oswalt, will include four examining
rooms, a treatment room, two cot rooms, a

laboratory, several storage and utility
rooms as well as a waiting area and a
secretarial-reception space.
This new area, Oswalt stated, will be a
great improvement over the old area which
''doesn't even have running water in one of
the exam rooms.
"With the new facilities, the SHS can do
more preventative medicine and help teach
students about their own bodies.'' It would •
also be possible, she went on, to do
perform therapy for de-stressing, obesity,
depression.
The space was previously used for
warehouse storage, but will be emptied
before C()nstruction begins, Colvin continued.
The area the SHS now occupies will be
converted for Nursing Program use,
Colvin said. The Health Building, he
said, was originally financed with federal
HEW fu!lds for the ~ursing Program.

Water----continued from page 1

County is relatively safe from any
drought problems this summer, the
media had made sure of that. But the
media has also pointed out the
difficulties many towns like Coos Bay
and Port Orford are having with water
in short supply. Governor Bob Straub
has asked for ''voluntary rationing'' or
conservation in an effort to curtail
water consumption by all Oregonians.
I was ''bowled'' over by the drought
statistics. I inquired how I could save
water; wasn't the brick I placed in the
tank enough? The judgemental john
screamed in pain, "don't use a brick,
they crumble and can cause valve
leaks. San Francisco residents were
advised to use bottles.''
One method for saving water is to
flush only solid waste after using the
toilet. In drought stricken California,
a number of '' over the toilet' ' slogans
have appeared suggesting the user not
flush unless necessary. John Stoner of
t he Lane County Environmental
Health Department states that there
would not be a health hazard
introduced in a household by not
flushing after urinating.
..
The Eugene Water and Electric
Board (EWEB) advises consumers to
take showers, not baths. Showers,
believe it or not, require less water in
most cases. Additional water conservation hints i11clude the repairing of all
leaking faucets and toilet facilities,
using the dishwasher only when fully
loaded and filling a pan with rinsewater when handwashing dishes instead of letting the faucet flow
continually. EWEB also advised not
to let water run when brushing teeth,
washing hair or shaving.
Other methods suggested by the
Oregonian and Newsweek Magazine
include storing dishwater for 24 hours
after use to water your plants; using
dishwater for mopping floors; showering with a friend. In the San Francisco
area many residents flush their toilets
with stored wastewater from dishes,
baths and showers.
For the mechanically inclined there
are a number of devices on the market
that can help conserve water. These
include toilet tank mechanisms with
various functions--a "two way flush"
allowing liquid waste to be disposed of
with less water than solid waste is just
one of them.
Also available are flow reducers,
devices you install inside water
faucets and shower heads to use less
water with the same pressure and
valves for shower heads that allow you
to turn off the flow of water after
getting wet for soaping down. Timers
for outside watering systems have
been around for some time and are
experiencing an increase in popularity
to avoid excessive water usage in the
garden.
At this point my toilet stopped
talking. Its voice sounding a little
garbled and its overall appearance
looking a bit "flushed," the sanitary
sentinel gave me one last bit of advice:
"It may not seem necessary to save
water now, but water saved is like
putting energy in the bank for next
winter." I was so impressed by my
water closet's wisdom that I cleaned
it!

Multi-cultural center offers a variety of services
by John Healy
A new multi-cultural center for ethnic
min~rities has become a reality at LCC,
due m large part to the efforts of a coalition
of minority groups.
The new center, which opened on April
14 and is located in Center 511, is designed
as _a resource center for minority students,
said Loyd Rodriguez, president of the
Native American Student Association
(NASA), one of the groups which formed
the coalition.
"We see the multi-cultural center in
two roles--as a social center, and as an
information-referral service for ethnic
minorities,'' said Rodriquez. •
Minority groups at LCC have been
demanding space for a number of years,
according to Rodriguez, but they received
no response from the LCC administration
until the Black Student Union (BSU),
MECHA (a chicano-latino organization),
and NASA formed a coalition in early
March.
The coalition met with Dean of Students § :
Jack Carter, and with Carter's help, space
for ~he new ~ulti-cultural center was made §
available, said Rodriguez.

THIS
AD
IS
FULLA
BULLSHIT
(Please read it anyway. Just don't believe a word of
it.)

"YOU Unlimited," a Eugene-based personal growth
facility, sees you in the role of student, as someone
committed to the study and development of various belief
systems and particular abilities for the purpose of shaping
your own futures.
We also see you in the process of creating your position
& identities in life. We think that's great and you truly have
our support. However, if you BELIEVE any one of those
belief systems or buy that you ARE your position &
identity . . . boy, are you in trouble.
- We-acknowledge the necessity, fun and value ot' a
position & identity in life. (Without one Kojac wouldn't
have had a place to put his tootsie pops!) We're just
suggesting that who and what you really are can only be
experienced not located, identified or explained. And until
you have acknowledged the experience of your *self, your
position & identity will stand as an obstacle between you
and life.
With this in mind, YOU unlimited has created a40-hour
event, an Experiential Event. The purpose of the event is to
create those conditions that allow you (and us) to experience and acknowledge the self as distinguished from
position & identity. We don't know how to say exactly what
all that means. We can only say what some of the results
are of achieving the purpose of the event. When you come
from beyond position & identity, the results are that you
have greater harmony with your environment, diminishing
effort in your work, expanding understanding of yourself
and increasing affinity in your relationships.
The Experiential Event is presented in six segments over
aten day period (see schedule). The first segment is called

Open House and is a prerequisite to the event. Only one
Open House is required. You are not charged, obligated or
committed to anything by being there. We just want to
present the philosophy, the patter and the opening processes so you can determine whether or not you want to be in
our event.
Completion, love, satisfaction and full self-expression

are intrinsic qualities in each and every one of us. There is
no teaching or learning that. Only your experience is
practical knowledge and you alone can recall and utilize
from what you experience. You are invited to come and
play with us while we explore and re-discover these and
other fundamental principles.

Lane had moved into the top spot following Clackamas' sweep
of the Roadrunners April 12.
"We just stopped hitting the ball," evaluated Titan coach
Dwane Miller of his team's previously blazing attack. They
could piece together just three hits in the first game and but
four in the one run loss.
Miller cited pitching prowess ls both contests. "Donny
Johnson threw a really good ball game at us," noted Miller of
the Roadrunner moundsman in the opener, quickly adding that
his own Mark Jenerette threw well but gave up several hits on
good pitches. In the second game, Steve Upward gave up two
runs in the first inning but buckled down to allow but one hit in
the game, despite losing.
Lane was outhit by Blue Mountain in both games but still
managed to sweep their league doubleheader by identical 5-4
scores here Saturday. Tom Younker homered in the ninth to
win the opener and Terry Kirby knocked in Steve Gillespie, who
had tripled, in the fourth frame for what provM to be winning

only two as each tossed four inning relief stints to pr~serve the
victories. Second sacker Mark Piesker went a perfect four for

Saints pas s Tita ns in mile relay

by John Healy
The men's track team may have gone to the well once
too often last week as they split a pair of meets at home,
edging the College of Southern Idaho 88 1/2-80 last
Thursday but bowing to Mt. Hood 88 1/2-85 on Saturday in
a seven team meet.
The Titans, needing only a win In the mlle relay to
claim the meet dde, lost the rei.y and the m~t to Mt.
Hood, even though their point "well" of sprinter Andrew
Banks and de'2thlete Joel Johnson ran on the losing relay
team.
Banks led the Titans sprint corps with victories in the
100 meters and 200 meters in both meets, clocking 10.50
and 10.37 In the 100 meters, the latter against Southern
Idaho. Banks also established a new school record In the
200 meters in the Mt. Hood meet, running away from the~
field in a One 21.36. Added to those wins were a second in
the long jump against Southern Idaho, 1111d a 22'8" jump
versus the SaJnts for third.
Johnson, who has already qualified in the decathlon for
the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA)
cham~ionships , qualified for nationals in two more

events, the 110 meter high hurdles and· the 400 meter
intermediate hurdles, against Southern. Idaho.
He won the 400 meter hurdles in 54.16, and finished
second in the 110 meter hurdles in a fast 15.0. Johnson
also tied for second in the high jump and took a second in
the pole vault (12'6") in the same meet.
Johnson also scored ·heavily In the Mt. Hood meet,
coming from behind to win t~ 400 meter hurdles in 55.16,
and taking a fourth in the 110 meter hurdles and a tie for

6ftb in the high Jump.
Weightman Jim Pitts scored victories in the shotput and
discus in both meets, hitting 53' 3/4'' in the shot against
Mt. Hood, a personal record by 10 inches.
The only other field even winne,; for Lane was in the pole
vault where Mike Sweeney went 13' vs. Southern Idaho.
Lane's distancemen grabbed two . victories, Mike
McGriff going 14:54 to win the 5000 meters against
Southern Idaho, and Glenn Owen clocked a solid 9: 15 in
the steeplechase, run at Hayward Field. Owen's mark
qualifies him for the NJCAA championships.
Although they won only the 5000 meters against
Southern Idaho, Lane scored heavily in the distances with

a bunch of seconds and thirds.
Ken Martin (1:54), Tim O'Malley (1:56), and Jim
Russell (2:00), went 2-3-4 in the 800 meters, and Matt

firearms. Industries that produce
pollutants would be taxed for the
medical consequences of pollution.
In his report, Dr. Morris also
commented on recent research showing detrimental effects which smoke
has on non-smokers.

When nonsmokers are forced to
inhale noxious gases from other
people's cigarettes, even their saliva
is affected, he said.

''Not until the last few years was it
discovered that nonsmokers experrience physiological changes upon
exposure to cigarette smoke. First,
increased levels of carbon monoxide
were found in the bloodstream of
these nonsmokers. Even after they
left smoke-filled areas, increased
levels of the gas st tyed in their blood
for hours afterwa:d, robbing their
bodies of oxygen,' Dr. Morris explained.

Today the causes of many major
diseases are ":ell known, according to
Dr. James F. Morris in a recent report
from the Oregon Lung Association .

Cigarette smoking, for example, is
the chief cause of emphysema, chronic
bronchitis, and lung cancer, the
physician added.
Every year 300,000 Amercians die
prematurely from the effects of
cigarette smoking. The estimated
financial cost of smoking is more than
$5 billion each year, said Dr. Morris.

The figure includes projections of
future income lost because of premature death. Every year 300,000
Amercians die prematurely from the
effects of cigarette smoking. Also
contained in the $5 billion total is an
estimate of the monetary value of
property lost in fires caused by
smoking.
When health hazards have been
identified and some people choose to
ignore these warnings, should everyone have to pay the financial costs of
the consequences, Dr. Morris asked,
adding that Dr. Keith Reemtsma,
director of surgery at New York's
Presbyterian Hospital, has proposed
that people with good health habits
should be rewarded with lower taxes.

This mind-boggling figure is based
on the costs of providing medical care
to patients with smoking-related diseases such as emphysema, chronic
bronchitis, coronary heart disease,
and lung cancer. It also includes
income lost because of illness.
Smokers, for example, are sick in bed

Cyanides, incJuding hydrogen cyanide, are among the highly poisonous
types of chemicals in cigarette smoke.
When smoke is inhaled--by smokers
and, scientists now know, nonsmokers--cyanides are converted into
thiocyanates.

Multi-cultural
center opens page 9

Thiocyanates are known to cause
the growth of goiters. They are also
strongly suspected as contributing
agents in the formation of cancercausing chemicals in the stomach.
Even 20 hours after nonsmokers leave
a smoky environment, thiocyanates
can be found in their saliva.

Dr. Morris warned, "Exposed nonsmokers become involuntary smokers
in many smoke-filled situations. And,
of course, smokers inflict even worse
damage on themselves voluntarily."
Dr. Morris is chief of pulmonary
diseases section, Veterans Administration Hospital.

Further research has shown that

by as much as 100b per cent--after
exposure to tobacco smoke, he said.
