Voe/Tech women's Budget Committee p_asses 1977-78 budget
restrooms to be
ready for fall term
by Shelley Deneau
When the LCC Board of Education
allocated $1,800 for construction of women's rp - _Jorn facilities in the Vocational and Technological Departments
Wednesday night, Diane Drum, a student
in the welding program, reacted to the
decision by saying, "Its been rough.
We ·v"""e been kicking at (administrative)
doors for 18 months to get restrooms.''
"I'm glad it's happening now but I'm
very concerned about the setting of a
definite completion date."
Paul Colvin, director of Institutional
Research, estimated that the facilities
should be ready for Fall Term. And
Chairman of the Board Jim Martin, said,
•'That will be put in the minutes.''
Drum added, "I'm also concerned that
the bathrooms be designed to take into_
account the expected increase in women's
enrollment in these programs instead of
just accomodating those there now.''
Colvin said, •'The law states that there
must be ,one toilet for every 45 women.
This may not be realistic in some
situations . . . Hopefully we'll be able to
deal with the problems over the years."
Anne Stewart, director of the Women's
Awareness Center. asked the Board to
recognize the women for having endured
hardships in order to remain in traditionally male-dominated classes. She
said the facilities weren't available for
such problems as changing out of their
soiled workclothes before attending other
classes.

We goofed!

The fluoride issue will be on the
ballot for Eugene area voters on
June 28, not on May 19, as was
reported in last week's TORCH.
Also, there were 11,000 signatures
on the petitions. Only 6,000 were
required instead of the number given
·'
last week.

OK'd at
by Kathleen Monje

In a startlingly short 12 minutes, the
Lane Community College Budget Committee approved $24 million for the
college next year, at its second formal
meeting Wednesday.
The major reason for the quick approval was the new tax base passed by
voters last fall, which means that the
1977-78 budget does not have to be voted
on this year.
Only one question was raised before
the committee unanimously approved the
budget prepared by LCC's financial
experts. Board of Education Chairman
Jim Martin asked what would happen if
KLCC-FM, the college radio station,

2 million a minute

didn't receive· a $22,000 grant listed in
the document as revenue for the station.
The grant, which comes from the
Corporation of Public Broadcasting, has
been under question because no official
word has been received on the CPB audit
begun last December.
However, a college administration
spokesman said that a recent contact with
a corporation executive had given them
'' every reason to believe that we will still
•qualify" to receive the $22,000.
The only other comment came from
board member Larry Perry, who said,
"It's important to note" that "70 per
cent of our budget is still in negotiation.''
Perry referred to the wage bargaining,
not yet concluded, with LCC's two
employee unions.

That 70 per cent is mostly included in
the $14.9 million budgeted for the
college's educational functions, called the
general fund. Last year's general fund
figure was a flat $14 million.
Most committee members said they
hadn't read every page of the 331-page
document, but had selectively read and
made comparisons with last year's budget.
The college has changed and simplified
the document this year; most committee
members said they found it easier to read
and understand.
Chairman Martin was the only member
who said he read the whole document.
"You bet your boots, I read every last
page." He said he had always looked at
the budget very carefully.

What's Siltcoos store's fate?
Story and photos by Michael Riley

The old building rests on pilings over
Siltcoos Lake; some of the supports are
rotted through but the structure still
stands. It's a reminder of an era never to
be visited again.

Gertrude Christensen over five years ago,

Over 50 testify
for childcare bill

by David Reavis
Over SO students and parents went to
the Capitol Thursday, May 12, to participate with the Joint Ways and Means
Committee's listening to testimony for
House Bill 2459. John Miller, LCC
student government administrative assistant, said "The testimony was all
favorable.''
Testimony was given by Sen. Clifford
Trow, Rep, Mary Burrows and LinnBenton President Marty Ayers. Other
testimony was also heard from students
and parents from LCC, Southern Oregon
State College, and the U of O.
Miller believes that the passage of HB
2459, which would allocate $3.6 million to
Children Services Division for payment to
student-parents in the form of day-care
assistance, will depend on whether the
Legislature decides to subsidize 34 per
cent or 40 per cent of the state's school
budgets. If the legislature uses the 34
per cent level, Miller said, then perhaps One of the supports under the Siltcoos

you count Tia and Gary Menser's son
Seth). Both the Mensers feel the store has
a valid use in the community.
After much footwork, the TORCH
obtained a number of interesting views on
the future of the store. Lewis Case, dean of
Academic and College Planning, hasn't
learned of any decision on the future of the
store. Case did say the store was still
usable, in his opinion, but the college
would have to do some work on it. Bert
Dotson, assistant to the president of LCC
stated that some of the underpinnings were
rotted out and perhaps it would be safer if
the store were torn down.
Gale-Menser mentioned in an earlier
interview that Jim Lawson, cooperative
work experience coordinator, felt the store
was a '' good old building.'' Lawson admits
that he did say that, but he feels the
building should be renovated and put into
good use. He adds that destroying the -

"It's going to cost them a little money if

Pelican supports
Ruckman/ Miller
To the Editor:

The ASLCC will hold a general election
on May 26 and 27. The candidates are
presently considering accepting contracts
lasting until the Summer Term of 1978.
Varied responsibilities will require strong
committment toward securing and furth_:ring the cont~nuity anf expansion of
services of the ASLCC.
I have worked with the ASLCC fof
approximately two years. Having shared
philosophy as well as practical experience
with Tom Ruckman and John Miller
during this past year, they have extensively proven their worth as valuable
student advocates for the LCC community.
Tom is a Senator from Construction
Technology. He is effectively concerned
that the primary responsibility to articulate the needs of and for the benefit of
students via the representative body of
fhe ASLCC with its service oriented
programs has been inadvertantly jeopardized by the Board of Education decision
to terminate funding to what is potentially the leading community college
student association in the State of
Oregon.
As administrative assistant within the
Executive Cabinet of the ASLCC. John
Miller is representing the Lane community during their legislative session per-

taining to expanding child-care service for
student parents. He is also a representative on the Academic Council which
has the responsibility to resolve student
grievances.
The potential value of these men as
"student consumer" advocates has only
just been tapped till now. I urge you to
vote for Tom Ruckman and John Miller
for president and vice-president of the
Associated Students of Lane Community
College.
Sincerely,
Ken Pelikan
ASLCC President

ASLCC "hard work"
says candidate

To the Editor:

Dedication, diplomacy, and hard work
will .be required in the roles of president
and vice president for the coming school
year. We, Tom Ruckman and John
Miller, accept this challenge.
Our
experience in leadership positions in the
community and as students will be put to
work as we seek to replace the ASLCC
voluntary fee with reliable funding from
the general budget, provide beneficial
s~rvices to students, and be responsible
representatives of Lane's student body.
Please vote for us on Wednesday and
Thursday· of next week.

Students "out of
touch" with ASLCC
To the Editor:

1 am wntmg to the TORCH today to
make the readers more aware of the
upcoming ASLCC elections. Most students here are totally uninvolved and out
of touch with student government, and
are in the dark about the issues, who is
running, and why.
The few of us who are putting our
energies into the ASLCC are dedicating a
great deal of our time and ideas into
making student government work for all
of the students.
Since the beginning of Spring Term, I
have been (cultural) acitivities director of
ASLCC. and have put in long hours to
make my department work for all of the
students of LCC. I am running for
cultural director for next year. I feel
there is no need for me to talk about n:iy
candidacy. since I run unopposed. I
encourage anyone who wants to find out
about or put energy/ideas into our
cultural activities. to come see me at
A SLCC. second floor of the Center
Building.
Since coming to the ASLCC, I have
become greatly aware of the amount of
commitment that it takes to get the job
done. Thomas Ruckman, senator from
Construction Tech .. and John Miller,
administrative assistant to ASLCC Presi- .
dent Ken Pelikan, are both de.dicate-d,
hardworking individuals that wil1 be of
great benefit to ASLCC (as Pres. and
Vice-Pres. respectively), if you show your
. support and help elect them on May 25th
and 26th.

But I urge everyone to vote, no matter
who you support, because student
-government can only be as strong as the
students who make it so with their
involvement.

Transfer study
"well done"

To the Editor:
I have just completed reading Sally
Oljar's analysis of the UO Transfer Study
in the latest edition of the TORCH. She
is to be commended on a job well done!
There was a great deal of information in
that report (as you're well aware!), and I
feel she did a fine job of synthesizing it
so as to present only those responses
which would be of most interest to our
current students.
Thank you!

Boom for bosses ; bust for worker s
by Irwin Silber

Reprinted by permission
from The Guardian

After a sputtering start, the boom-andbust cycle of the U.S. capitalist economy is
definitely in its boom phase--but for more
workers it's still a bust.
A barrage of recently released economic
statistics show monopoly capital whistling
a happy tune on its way to the bank. Profits, production, prices, sales, and employment are all up. Unemployment has shown
a slight drop.
Despite the ''boom the actual situation
confronting the working class is not
substantially better than it was six months
ago. More than 7 million workers remain
jobless and the actual purchasing power of
most workers has declined. Coming on top
of a severe recession and a hard winter that
left many workers heavily in debt with
depleted savings, the situation left the
working class more at the mercy of capital
than before. Which is just the way the
system is supposed to work.
The business boom has been accompanied by an inflationary surge. This has
given President Jimmy Carter the excuse
he was looking for to abandon his $50 per
person tax rebate scheme. The plan was in
political trouble with a balky Congress and
I•

Carter's move--enormously popular with
the business community--gave him a
face-saving way out.
These were some of the buoying
statistics that were evoking expressions of
elation on Wall Street:
•Industrial production for the month of
March rose 1.4 per cent, the biggest boost
in 19 months. The gain followed a 1 per
cent increase in industrial output in
February. The surge brought total U.S.
industrial production 5.5 per cent ahead of
where it was a year ago and 2.5 per cent
above the pre-recession peak reached in
June 1974.
•Business sales rose a vigorous 2.6 per
cent in February while inventories were
also going up .6 per cent. This means that
not only were more goods being sold, but
even more were being produced in
anticipation of future sales. (In time, an
unduly large accumulation of inventories is
one of the harbingers of a slump. But the
cycle does not appear to have reached that
point yet).
•U.S. factories were operating at 82 per
cent of capacity in March, the highest rate
in 29 months. This is still considerably
below the peak of July 1973 when plants
were operating at 88 per cent of their

capacity, but it represents a substantial
improvement over the worst days of the
recession when the figures were in the low
70s.
•New housing construction--generally
considered a significant barometer of the
economy--zoomed upward at a spectacular
pace.
According to the Commerce
Department, housing starts in March were
calculated at an annual rate of 2.1 million
units. This represented a 17 per cent rise
from February and was 49 per cent ahead
of the pace for new home building of a year
ago. All told, the figures in this area were
the highest since May 1973. The statistics
reflected the lowest mortgage rates in
three years ~nd a greater willingness by
the nation's banks to make mortgage
loans.
•89.5 million people held jobs as oi
March 1977, an increase of 5 million from
May 1975 when unemployment figures
went over the 9 per cent mark. The 5
million increase in employed persons
occurred during a period when tl).e labor
force itself expanded by 3.8 million.
The happiest news for the capitalists has
been contained in the first quarter reports
of a steady increase in the rate of profits for
most U.S. corporations. The nation's
business journals can barely find enough
•newsprint to proclaim the profit surges in
industry and finance that have been taking
place over the past nine months.
The shadows on this blissful business
horizon, however, cannot be ignored.
The turn-around in inflation (see Guardian April 20) is a sure sign of trouble to
come. During the first quarter of 1977, the
Consumer Price Index rose at an annual
rate in excess of 9 per cent while the
wholesale price index soared over the
double-digit mark. For the 7.1 million
"officially" unemployed, for those receiving fixed unemployment compensation,
welfare, Social Security and pension
checks, and for workers who are continuing
to work either at the same pay rates or with
very modest increases, the inflationary
surge represents a cut in "real" income.
Carter's scuttling of the $50 rebate-which many workers had been counting
on--is not going to make matters any

better. Despite some pious words to the
contrary, the administration has shifted
economic gears and is now posing
inflation--rather than unemployment--as
the country's principal economic problem.
Not that the Carter anti-inflation program
is about a thorough as ~x-President Ford's
ill-fated WIN (Whip Inflation Now) button
campaign turned out to be. There will be
alot of talk about controlling prices which
business will quietly ignore except when it
comes to the price of labor power--at which
point every corporation president will do
his patriotic duty by trying to keep wages
down.
Perhaps the surest sign of the crunch
being felt by the working class in the midst
of this boom is provided by those bourgeois
economists who are sitting up nights trying
to explain away the persistent high rate of
unemployment that prevails. Two favorite
"explanations" are now being floated.
'' A major reason for the paradox of high
joblessness alongside relatively swift employment growth," says Wall Street
Journal economics writer Alfred L. Malabre Jr., "is the massive influx of women
into the labor force. The economy hasn't
managed to absorb all the job seekers."
But the chief cause for the massive
movement of women into the work force is
~he fact that working-class families increasingly can no longer manage on the income
of one wage-earner. This represents both
an absolute increase in the surplus value
garnered by monopoly capital from each
worker and the lag between wages and
prices.
The other explanation is offered by a pair
of University of Miami economists, Kenneth W. Clarkson and Robert E. Meiners,
who say that ''high measured rates of
unemployment can be explained in large
part by a new class of individuals who are
either largely unemployable or have no
desire or need to work, but who, to qualify
for various benefits must officially register
for work and therefore are now covnted in
official unemployment statistics.
Given
the superimpoverished condition of the
workers of the oppressed nationalities, the
not-so-subtle racism inherent in this
''explanation'' is overwhelmingly obvious.

Student Art Show

Award winners and 'Salon de Refuses'

"Yin Yang" done in stained glass by Sam Morehouse is a part of the Art Show.

Marilyn Sennum's untitled work is showing in the "Salon de Refuses."

by Mike Arnold
LCC's Student Art Show started with a
small reception and a small controversy
over the '' Salon de Refuses'' or Gallery
of the Refused, which is showing simultaneously.
Winners of a cash award of $25 in the
juried show are John Morton for a brass
vessel, Timm Morehouse for a wood
sculpture, and David Reavis for an acrylic
painting. Honorable mention was given
to Michael Fitch for an acrylic painting,
and Burton Smith for a wood sculpture.
All are on display in the gallery proper in
the Art Department.
The Gallery of the Refused was
initiated last year by an Art Department
secretary, according to Roger McAiister,
department chairman. Mc Alister also
stated, "By hanging the refused works,
we 're saying (as instructors) that they
(students with refused work) haven't
wasted their time studying art.''
Art instructor Bruce Dean. who is
responsible for the "Salon de Refuses"
this year, said it wasn't meant as a
reaction against the Student Art Show.
Dean said the whole idea was ''for
students to compare the work that was
accepted, against the work that was
reiected. . .to get a good comparison.''
According to Dean, this is also important
because it gives the student an idea of
how art is'judged. •

T~e ''Salon'' has created mixed
reactions from both students and instructo'rs, Dean admitted. "I have mixed
feelings about the feedback. I feel guilty,
like I may have broken some unwritten
law by exhibiting so close (to the student
show). I would feel better if there was
another gallery on campus (further removed from the Art Building) to show t·h e
refused work," said Dean.
"You have to take rejection as part of
the game of exhibiting in the professional
world." said Dean. "This is just a taste
of it. I didn't want that taste to be
overwhelming. I thought it wouldn't be
overwhelming, if they (students) could
see everything that was accepted, and
everything that was refused. When they
see other work, besides their own that

Art Show.

has been refused that they like as much
as some in the show, well, maybe they
won't feel so bad after all."
Dean, who has also judged shows, said
"I have my own prejudic~s, and, J feel
those are justifiable. If I'm asked to
judge something I have a right to go by
what I feel, not by what I think is all
right according to someone else.''
A critic represents one point of view,
said Dean. There are different schools of
thought for every art form. A jurist may

favor one school or another at any given
time, and this favoritism may change
many times in a jurist's life.
Mich;el Whiteneck, director of Statewide Services for the U of O Museum of
Art, who judged the show, was not
available for comment about the '' Salon
de Refuses.'' There is some concern in
the Art Department about the possibility
of offending Whiteneck who was not
aware that a gallery for the refused would
be set up.

ASLCC election coming May 26 & 27
Can did ates for
student body •
president state
platforms-three
tickets campaign
for top slot
by Sally Oljar
Both Tom Ruckman and John Miller,
candidates for president and vice-president of the ASLCC, feel that student
government is at a "crossroad." But
presidential candidate Ruckman is •'turned on by the potential'' for the ASLCC.
•"The ASL CC has to d~sappear or be
rebuilt into something tnat is a positive
part of the school ... says Ruckman. He
believes that the major block toward that
goal is funding.
"The ASLCC must reestablish it's credi- ·
bility with the Board of Education,
Ruckman says. before the Board wi]]
replace the mandatory fees that were cut
last summer. "The voluntary funding
s~·stem doesn ·t work." he says. Miller
agrees. "One problem with voluntary
·funding has been that we 're asking a
small number of students to fund services
that all the students are getting."
At the present time Legal Services is
the only service not available to students
who don't pay five dollars for the special
student bodv card.
If the ASLCC b not tuncted bv some
type of mandatory fee, all of its services
will be discontinued. Ruckman says.
Some have been cut back already.
"We've (ASLCC) had to deny financial
support to various clubs and organizations this year." says Miller. who is now
serving a; an administrative assistant to
President Ken Pelikan.
Ruckman says he is working on a
proposal for mandatory funding to pre-

sent to the Board if he is elected. If the
Board refuses. "we'll go through the
motions (of maintaining the ASLCC) and
do the best we can with our jobs," he
said.
He says the "idea" of voluntary
ftmding has been abandoned. ''Things
are critical. .. we can't limp through
another year with voluntary fees."
One solution is expansion of vending
services with the ASLCC collecting the
revenue.
Miller thinks it is "very
important" to carry on Legal Services,
recycling, and, hopefully. childcare. But,
he says. "The school has to assure us
funding ...
Ruckman wants to make an effort to
get more stu<.knts involved in the
ASLCC. Assigning work-study students
to various tasks is one way of increasing
in\'olvemcnt. he said.
Ruckman is a Construction Technology
major. He has been at LCC for two vears
and is a senator from that department.
Miller is on the Academic Council and
is currently lobbying for the proposed
d1ildcare bill in Salem. He is also a
member of the ASLCC Legal Services
Cornmittee.
"I feel it's important right now for
some responsible and innovative leadership in the ASLCC to regain viability and
responsiveness to student government. I
feel that Tom and I arc tho·s e people,"
Miller said.

by Linda Mooney
'' I really want to represent everyone

because the programs would have benefited only a few instead of the majority of
students.
He believes that the new ASLCC
officers should work toward better rapport
with the administration.
-Ruiz sees the structure of student
government as needing changes, as well
as the scheduling of more social events.
He went on to say that students are here
"mainly for an education. but that a
social education," is "just as important."
Ruiz. 26. is from Eugene and was
involved with students of Sheldon High
School.

Milliken says there is a ··tack of
cooperation between student government
and the Board. There is too much red
tape in getting projects started."
"To reach the administration we'11
have to show them that student government is committed. and that it wants to
be involved. and wants to handle its own
affairs. We'll have to bug them a lot
until we get our own demands." he said.
He wants the ASLCC to become a more
cohesive organization. "The student
government (leaders) need to communica t c better with one another and with
students ...
More concerts, better childcare, and a
student recreational center are his goals
for next year. "We need more activities
so it is worth it to become a member of
the ASLCC." he says.
Milliken is the c~rrent oresident of the
L.CC Forestry Club and a member of
OSPIRG. He is also a senator from the
Science Department. David DiYanni, his

Mark McNutt
by Linda Mooney
Mark McNutt, LCC's present cultural
director (formerly called Activities Directo), is running for an elected term in the
same office.
McNutt got the iob because he went
and '' complained that not much in the way
of e~nts were happening at LCC. ASLCC
asked him if he wanted the job of making
it better--he took it.
He is the fourth such director this year
and he feels, because of his experience in
the job, he wouldn't need the orientation
necessary nor would he have the problems that a new person would have.
McNutt is a music major who is
interested in all kinds of cultural events-speakers, concerts, dance etc. He stated
his main focus of energy would be ''to
make a name for LCC as a college that is
culturally involved." This would entail,
he continued, getting more community
involvement through the use of newspapers and radio. "We're dying from
this lack of involvement,'' he declared.
His goal would be to bring more events
in the form of big names and groups to
LCC.

Analysis by the TORCH staff

LCC

by Linda Mooney

•'The LCC Food Service is operating in

the black for the first time in years.''

L CC load prices:
better than
critics claim

according to the Manager, Robert Tegge.
Tegge attributes this event to the ·
Mannings, Inc. way of management.
Mannings, Inc. has been operating the
LCC Foodservice for almost two years.
Last year the Food Services were $23,000
behind the break-even point. He went on
to point out that Food Services and the
bookstore are the only departments on
- campµs ~xpected to "break even."
When asked the usual question of
"how do you set the prices," Tegge
explained the following percentages. The
dollar is broken up with 38 per cent--raw
food costs, 42 per cent--labor costs, 11
per cent--paper products, 4 per cent-maintainence, 3 1/2 per cent--Mannings
Food Service costs. with 1 1/2 left over for
the inevitable miscellaneous.
"Fancy" and "choice" are the high
grade of food chosen by the Manning
chain. One of Tegge's reasons why other
food services around the area may be less
expensive is that the other foodservices
may use standard foods which cost less.
The foodservice here at LCC also
operates catering service ''meals on

The price changes occurred when Mannings, Inc. assumed the responsibility for the

Northwest.
So. the newspaper staff decided to undertake a comparative investigation of similar
food services in the area--the U of 0, Sacred Heart Hospital, Eugene Water and Electric
Board. and County Building cafeteria--to determine whether the LCC prices are really out
of line. The results are on this page; and, contrary to popular opinion, the prices LCC
students are paying here are competitive.
by John Healy

Sacred Heart

Cnty.
S.H.
Bldg. EWEB LCC Hosp.

Sacred Heart Hospital is a non-profit,
privately run institution. The food service
there has been contracted to Mannings,
,
the food management company which also
holds the LCC food service contract.
Mannings manages both the employeesvisitors cafeteria and the meals served to
the hospital's patients.
The only people employed directly by
Mannings are Food Manager Howard
1.Traver and his assistant, Don Carney. The
remainder of the employees are employed
by Sacred Heart, but work under the
management of Traver.
Food is bought with Sacred Heart money
by Mannings directed people (in this case,
Traver and Carney).
"It's a closed system--open only to
employees and at specified times, visitors
of patients," said Traver, referring to the
cafeteria.
Since Sacred Heart is run on a non-profit
basis, the cafeteria (and patient's meals)
are prevented from making a profit. Income cannot exceed expenditures--prices
are reduced or raised only if food prices,
salaries. etc .. go up or down. Prices can't
be raised just so more profit can be made.
Much of the food Mannings buys for by Cheri Shirts
Employees at Eugene Water and
Sacred Heart is pre-packaged--baked
goods are a good example. At LCC, Electric Board (EWEB) have inexpensive
though, they have a bakery, and facilities and ·good lunches prepared at EWEB
to reduce beef carcasses to hamburger, especially for them.
The cafeteria, located in the basement of
according to Traver.
Note: the cafeteria at Sacred Heart is the EWEB building at 500 E. 4th Ave., is
almost an exact replica of LCC's, but on a an employee cafeteria and is not open to
smaller scale. Serving containers--cups, the public.
Jack Smoates, food services manager at
bowls, etc.--are the same as the ones used
EWEB says, "the fu]l benefit of our
at LCC.
cafeteria is that it saves us (EWEB) to have
a cafeteria. We are in an area where there
aren't many places to eat close at hand."

U of 0

by J aneese Jackson
Food Services at the University of
Oregon (U of 0) is an independent
operation that receives no school, state, or
federal subsidy.
At U of O the Erb Memorial Union
cafeteria (EMU) is a competitive operation
available to students as well as the public
m general.
The food did not have an appetizing
appearance, the lettuce for salads was
wilted and limp and the general serving
area is cluttered and messy.
The
atmosphere at the EMU is noisy.

County building
by Paul Y arnold
Competitive prices and stable profits
can co-exist peacefully, according to Carl
Langlie, operational manager of the public
cafeteria locaed in the Lane County Public
Service Building.
Lane County leases space for the
concession to Tiffany Food Services, by
whom Langlie is employed. Tiffany is
bound by contract to maintain the food
service, independent of County supervision; in return, Tiffany retains any profits
that are generated . .
"We're no different than the set-up at
LCC," said Langlie, as he emphasized the
advantages of having outsiders handle the
catering--especially to the taxpayers, who
have no subsidies to provide. He claims
that private management is the only way to
keep the public food service from going "in
the red.''
Langlie also attributes low prices to
independent management. He feels that
an outside corporation possess better
management capability, greater incentives
for profit and fiscal responsibility, and a
much greater buying power.
A survey recently conducted by the
TORCH staff indicates that the prices at
the -LCPS Bldg. are competitive .with
similar facilities at Sacred Heart Hospital,
and here at LCC.
Langlie contrasts Tiffany's privately
operated cafeteria with the publicly funded
management now responsible for the food
services at the U of O (located in the Erb
Memorial Union).
''The Erb memorial has never broken
even," said Langlie, who thinks that the
University cafeteria will be "put up for
bids'' within the next year. The bidding
determines who will lease the concession,
bring in a manager, and provide the food.
He added that Tiffany's would then bid on
the U of O service.
Langlie employes 12 people to handle
the food services at the LCPS Bldg., which
in his estimation handles about 1,500
people a day. As a private manager, he
feels he makes "better use" of his
employees--and therein lies a considerable
chunk of the profit.
Asked whether comments on the food
were of a positive nature, Langlie replied,
"Feedback you get is usually negative.
I'm not hearing from anyone, so I assum~
the food is good."

For large corporations, time is money,
and EWEB subscribes to that philosophy.
"Employees have a half-hour lunch .. .it
saves us (EWEB) to have people back to
work on time rather than 5 or 10· minutes
late ... that's why we operate the cafeteria.
. .and it works," added Smoates.

inexpensive, but that she likes to get away

The cafeteria at EWEB is sparkling

quality of food is excellent.

"Sure is glad to be here." LCC's Jazz
Ensemble's opening tune at their Wednes day night concert. expressed the feeling of
the audience.
In • well-designed program, the
listener heard 1940 Ellington, contemporary jazz, and a delightful number of
well-styled solos.
The Jazz Ensemble l played with
enthusiasm and tightness. The range of
dynamics was wide and the rhythm
section set down the foundation in an
unobtrusive fashion-a skill not too
common to a young rhythm section.
Occasionally, the band was a bit heavy
in the backing of solos, - but the audio
system seemed to be more to blame for
this than the musicians.

LCC student Joel Huffman, was a real
romp for the band and the audience. The
swing section got off the ground, and the
free-form portion brought out the reserve
power of the brass section.
Randall Snyder's chart, "Dimetrodon,"
was a delight, and director Bartholomew's crew brought the beast (Dimetrodon is the name of a dinosaur) to the LCC
stage. alive and well. I hope future
concerts will have more of these heavy
duty reptiles from the band Bartholomew
left behind in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The finale of the evening was a
showcase for solos. "Fingers," by Thad
Jones. showed the level of taste of the
soloists to be superior. Of particular note
was the dialogue between tenor men,
Barry Bogart and Gordie Robell. Guitarist Mike Denny showed that he does
his homework--and then some.
Instructor Bart Bartholomew is off and
running to make LCC known for its
excellent jazz program. Jazz appreciation
is rising nationally, and last week's
concert was, indeed, appreciated by all
who attended.

Ricks upset s Titan string
of six straight regio n titles
BY JOHN HEALY, Sports Writer
The men· s track team had their string of five straight
titles snapped by finishing second to Ricks College of
Idaho in the National Junior College Athletic
Association Region 18 track and field championships in Rcxburg, Idaho last weekend.
Ricks outpointed Lane 173 1/2-124 in denying the
Titans their sixth straight Region 18 title.
Eleven Titans have qualified for the NJCAA national
championships this week in Pasadena, Texas.
Competition began on Tuesday with the decathlon and
will continue through Friday.
Although Andrew Banks won the 100 meters, 200
meters, long jump and ran the anchor leg on the
winning 400 meter relay team at the regionals, his
performances weren't enough to offset a tremendous
display by Ricks' distance runners.
Led by two Norwegians, Ricks won every distance
race from 1500 meters to 10,000 meters, including the
steeplechase, while the Titans' usually potent distance
team fell apart in Rexburg's 5.500-foot altitude.

The best Lane could do in the distances was a trio of
third place finishes: Glen Owen in the 1500 meters
(4:07), Mike McGriff at 5000 meters (15:52) and Rich
Harter's 33:51 in the 10,000 meters.
Besides Banks, who set a meet record in the 100
meters while running a 10.36 heat Friday, Lane's only
winners were Jim Pitts in the shotput (51 1/2), Joel
Johnson in the 400 meter intermediate hurdles (his
mark of SJ.81 established a new meet record) and the
Titans' 400 meter relay team, consisting of Banks,
Chuck Casin-Cross. Bobby Persons and Kevin Brooks.
.Johnson also grabbed a fourth in the 110 meter
high-hurdles and a fifth in the pole vault while Pitts
added to his win in~he shot with a ISO 1/4 throw to take
third in the discus, behind teammate Charlie Keeran's
second place toss of 152-10 1/ 2.
Persons and Casin-Cross also provided points in the
sprints to back up Banks' two wins. Persons finished
third in the 200 meters with a fine 21.67 and
Casin-C,ross turned in a fourth in the IOO meters,
clocking I0.93.

BY JACK SCOTT, Sports Editor
Linn-Benton's Roadrunners drove the final nail in the coffin,
Umpqua's Timbermen were the beneficiaries of the noble death
but it was Judson Baptist's Crusaders who gained the most
satisfaction from the sad, final breath of Lane's struggle to
survive in the OCCAA baseball pennant race.
For the second year in a row, the Titans finished just one game
off the money for a berth in the Region 18 tourney. This year,
they finished two games behind the first place Timbermen (22-6)
and the runnerup Roadrunners (21-7). Those two clubs thus
qualified for the playoffs, which opened yesterday on the
Umpqua diamond.
Linn-Benton eliminated Lane by winning the nightcap of their
doubleheader here Friday, 3-2, in a "must win" situation for
both teams. They were tied in the standings following the Titans
9-5 win in the opener, but the visitors held on for the edge with
their vitory in the nightcap. It was Linn-Benton's third win in
four games with Lane this season but in each loss, the locals had
plenty of chances to win but failed to come up with the clutch hit
when needed.
Steve Upward, who lost a one-hit game to the Roadrunners
earlier, survived a three-run first inning outburst to nab the
opening game victory. He settled down to toss a six-hitter. His
offensive mates backed him up with nine hits and. combined
with six Linn-Benton errors, uncorked a two-run first inning and
four-run burst in the fifth frame.
The visitors again exploded for three runs in ~he first stanza in
the second game and this time the lead stuck. With two men on.
Linn-Benton first baseman Kelly Davidson stepped to the plate
and lined a Mark Jenerette pitch over the centerfield fence, his
fourth homer of the season. Lane coach Dwane Miller promptly
called for reliever Tony Stearns to replace Jenerette and he held
tight, shutting them out on three hits the rest of the way.
After three fruitless innings. the Titan batmen staged rallies
in the final four frames. They could only connect in the fifth,
scoring two runs on consecutive singles by Rick Edgar. Gary
Weyant, Steve Gillespie and Terry Kirby. Lane again out-hit the
Albany club, 9-6, but Roadrunner moundsman Jeff Hanslovan
held on to his victory by squelching two promising Titan
uprisings in the last two innings with strikeouts.
In this season of heartbreak for the Titans, they were haunted
by a ghost until the end. That ghost was an early season 2-1 loss
to lowly Judson Baptist. So although the Crusaders finished tied
for last place with a dismal 3-25 record, they're probably
sleeping securely knowing they spoiled the Titan's shot at
post-season play.
By gaining the split of the twinbill, Lane did manage to hand
Umpqua undisputed possession of first place. A Linn-Benton
sweep would have tied them with the Timbermen, although the
latter's series advantage was all they needed for the top berth.

IAnd there's food behavior
"Human Behavior and Nutrition
Education'' was a topic recently
explored by Godfrey Hochbaum, Ph.
D., Professor, Dept. of Health Education, School of Public Health,
Chapel Hill, N.C. His conclusion
was that whatever our intentions and
practices concerning our food intake,

we are greatly influenced by psychosocial factors which affect our eating
behavior.
A few people who are particularly
interested and concerned with nutrition, health, and bodily functions
may be persuaded to alter their food
practices bv scientific logic. But
these few are a minority. Most of us,
relative to food intake, are motivated
by learned and habituated taste
preferences, by visual and olfactory
senses, by psycho-social and cultural
influences, by economic and situational conditions, and by our emotional state at the time.
The study seems to point up the
fact that if we consciously wish to
alter our food pattern, e.g. to
improve our diets, lose weight, gain
weight, etc., we need to assess the
factors underlying our usual food
choices and then adapt educational
intervention methods and approaches

paqe 1

to these. This seems to predicate a
case for eating by candlelight and
soft music when learning new eating
habits!
And there's fiber
Dr. Stanley Richmond of the LCC
Student Health Services has an
abiding interest in nutrition. Right
now, he's talking about fiber in our
diet. Most of us don't get enough.
Constipation and diverticulitis can be
the problems related to lack of fiber
in our national diet pattern. He
advocates the purchase of a small
sack of wheat bran flakes from a
health food store. Keep it under
refrigeration and eat two tablespoons
daily as a way to meet your fiber
requirements. These two tablespoons of fiber can be mixed with
juice and taken like medicine. Or
sprinkle it on your yoghurt, mix it in
your meatloaf, or toss it on your
salad--any way you please.
