Editors Dote: Riley can do anything. Just ask him. If you need an answer to anyqu.estion. truth or lie, j11st call Rifey. This week it' s the FF-M phenomena. The kind of hype he loves to perpetrate. If you have serious question, ask him that too. Call a by Michael Riley- I was joong when I said it. I mean, who would think that the editor would take me seriously when I mentioned interviewing Farrah Fa1ACett-rv1ajors? ·Let me announce to the· world now that I was not serious! Only crazed ~irculation-conscious magazines do that hype. (Every magaiine in the newsstands does it.) But this adventure into jazz journalism and gossip rrongering can prove a point: Reporters can enter any world (if they have a teleplnle charge card) and get details and insights. After recovering from the seri0us stares and the indications given to me by the editor . that this assignment was "borderline big-time," it became obvious to me I had to plan my assault. - Farrah lives in Los Angeles with Lee "Six Million Dollar rv1an" rv1ajors. But the Los Angeles phone-book lists 14 :rv1ajors and nine Fa\.VCetts-but none of them is the right couple. Tile information operator laughed when I asked for the number. And there is no doubt in my mind that I am classed as ''weird'' by the operators at the American Broadcasting Oxnpany Studio. . Still, ABC was helpful in telling me that Farrah still hadn't reported for work and they directed me to call roth C-entury Fox Studios where "Charlie's Angels" is filmed. But The Fox studio operators informed me that Farrah is no longer with the series, that I could forward a lefter to her through them. Letters take time, something I did not have. I had~ across a '~dead end.'' Dejected and depressed, with the knowledge I had failed in my assignment, I broi.vsed through the LCC Bookstore in the hopes of cheering myself up. I ran across "Farrah, an Unauthorized Biography," by Patricia Burstein. Burstein writes for "People" magazine, a glossy, well-prcxiuced form of gossip in print media that caters to this very form of pursuit.. :and sells millions of copies. I bought the book, ecstatic with the names and places and other trivia it provides. For instance, Burstein explains that Farrah was born in Corpus Christi, Texas at exactly 3:10 p.m. on February 2, 1947. The 30 year old starlet really does use Wella Balsam conditioner along with other hair prcxiucts and on weekends she can be found running on the beach or being outdoors with husband Lee. To write the book Burstein had talked with people closely associated with Farrah including Rosalie Blackstone, fashion coordinator for Country Club Fashions in Sherman Oaks, California. And Blackstone was roore than helpful to me when it came to finding out what kind of clothes Farrah has purchased this vear. \Nhen I called her she explained that Farrah wears " everything casual." One of the more noticeable purchases is an outfit designed by Sonia Rykiel, a French designer. Those MX> want to be "in the knov., with the stars" will be happy to hear about the outfit: It consists of a coat, pants and s\.Veater, which, according to Blackstone, Farrah wears with pride: She always leans to "earth colors." Talking to Blackstone was satisfying, but I needed more. I needed information like ABC needed Farrah, but both the television corporation and the TORCH were losing our'· respective goals. I tried phoning Burstein. Since she had written the book on Farrah she must know something about getting in touch with her. It takes time for me to pick up on the obvious. Burstein wasn't in her office the first time I called. After the fifth time I felt I was calling an old friend, even to the point of asking her to return my call. It paid off. Burstein called back and while I jotted dOVJn her address and the number of . Farrah's Public Relations Man, Jay Bernstein, she explained how doing a story like this was not easy. I agreed with her, addding that the TORCH was not People rv1agazi~ either and I was overwhelmed with talking to people who work with the ''stars,'' but then, reporters can, after all, breakthrough barriers, .can't they? A wish of luck and a promise to send her a copy of the story closeq my conversation with Pat. Since I started this assignment my calls ranged from Los Angeles to New York, speaking to assorted q:,erators and secretaries. On occasion I talked to people who made me feel like I was not making a fool of ·m yself. It was quite routine. But the nx>ment of truth was approaching: I would call Jay Bernstein's office and ask for a personal telephone interview with Farrah. Some fellow reporters stood behind me as I dialed the q:,erator to make the call. I suddenly wished my fvk>tner was here to make things better if this didn't work. Since the TORCH is trying to hop on the Farrah Fa1ACett-rv1ajors bandwagon with some form of style, I'd like to give some important information on this well-~ personality. Her middle name is Leni, she was first put off by Lee's brashness when they first met (he later apologized) but now the Fawcett-:rv1ajors marriage is healthy and alive, according to close friends of the couple. In fact, while she vx,rked on ''Charlie's A°Ylgels'' Farrah had a seven p.m. cut-off clause in her contract so she could spend even~ngs with Lee. All this information is available in Burstein's book, "Farrah." The book is on same in the oookstore .. The phone rang twice before a woman answer~d with "Jay Bernstein, Public Relations.'' With a lurrp in my throat I asked for Bernstein and was transferred to his office. He wasn't in so I was placed in the limbo of the hold button. I had a feeling they were all wndering what a TORCH was. Then a voice on the other end of the line yanked me out of my pit of despair, I was talking to Stuart Ehrlich, a co-worker of Bernstein's. Ehrlich informed me it was ''impossible right now'' to get an interview with Farrah. She's not giving interviews. And, Ehrlich pointed out, F~ah is going through some . continued on page 3 • Student offi~ers may quit over ASLCC funding dispute by Paul Yarnold , pointed particularJy to proposed funding on Because the college Administration has an individual basis as being ' 'absurd,'' refused this summer to approve any particularly since any money given to the budget except what student Vice President ASLCC must already be routed through the John Miller calls a "token budget," a Student Activities office. majority of the ASLCC elected officers may ASLCC President Tom Ruckman was on resign, Mlller says. vacation this week, and could not be Among the Issues under contention are reached for comment' prior to press time. salaries for the- student officers and a Under Dean Carter's plan Sl, 750 baa full-time ASLCC [Associated Students of been given to the ASLCC, under the LCC] secretary, and the approval process supervision of Jay Jones, compared with for the ASLCC's own student service and about S15,000 •ast year, to cover travel student club programs.

May 19, 1977. This article quoted Gertrude Christensen u donor of the store in the second paraaraph. The article wu written by a Mkhael Riley. As it actually happens, nty husband and I are the donors of the property in question. My husband, James Ouistensen, was owner and manager of the business since 1952, succeeding his father, the late James Ouistensen Sr., ·who began the store in 1919. For over half a century, 531/2 years~ to be exact, the business continued uninterrupted .

Student H·ealth relocates service \. by Linda Mooney This year the LCC Student Health -Service will be opening its doors in a new location: The first floor of ,the Center Building behind the snack bar area. The $100,000 facility, once a warehouse, is specifically designed for SHS, and will provide "better accessibility for both students and ambulances ... " according to Paul Colvin , Industrial Research and Planning director. The improved facilities, says Laura Oswalt , SHS director, 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 area. The new location, Oswalt stated, will be a great improvement over the former site (the Health and P.E. Building) 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 to practice therapy for obesity, depression and stress, she said. SHS will not be open, except for emergencies, during the first week of classes , according to Oswalt.

VA advances checks The Veterans Administration cautions GI advanced S250 toward a maiimum S625 Bill students that advance payment of that can be earned in work-study projects educational allowances, which can amount to as much as two month's benefits at .t he •start of a school term, are just that -- an advance .on future allowances. If a student requests advance payment, and the school agrees to process it, the normal interval until the ,first recurring monthly VA check is received will be 80-85 days. For example , if a veteran accepts advance payment upon registering Sept. 12 , it will represent allowances for classroom attendance during September and October. No additional benefits will be paid until Dec. 1, covering class attendance for November. Subsequent checks will follow each additional month of enroll-. ment. , Anticipated financial requirements during the first three. months of the new schooli term should be considered now, the VA urges. • Additional VA money help is available to eligible GI Bill students. Education loans, which provide up to Sl,500, per academic year. may be granted to students needing assistance beyond regular VA allowances.

He pointed out that Oswalt worked with students to establish the SHS five years ago--LCC is the only ~ommunity college in Oregon that offers primary health care to its students (the others are considerably more limited). At the time, many members of the staff expressed different views of the doctor's leaving.

Over 200 listeners showed up at _the · special meetin~_where suggestio ns were .b ~ and discussed. The _decision was Sarah Hendrickson, the Student Health Services physician at that time, was fired by LCC. The reason, accordin g to Hendrickson, was that Laura Oswalt, SHS director, could no- "get along.,' with her. The termination of contract was not due to Hendrick son's dealings with patients. In fact, Oswalt was quoted as saying, "She's a very competen t lady medically .'' Hendrick son told the TORCH that Oswalt . had done tremend ous things "historic ally" for the SHS.

LCC presents 'Lady not for .burning' 'The Go od Doctor' and 'Cabaret' The LCC Perfor ming Arts Theatr e opened its 1977 season with ''The Good Doctor ," followed by "Caba ret" and "The Lady's Not For Burnin g." Based on short stories by Russia n author. Anton Chekov, "The Good Doctor" was a musical comedy. His eleven episodes varied from a viginette involving a doctor 's assista nt who throws a patient to the floor while trying to pull a tooth (see above) to a shorte r piece where a sailor charge s admission to his own drowning. Especially good in "Caba ret" was the snazzy musical numbe r that was choreographe d and execut ed by the cast (see below).

Though the piano in both bands lost necess ary ·volume at points, the overall sound was balanced and digestible. Both bands are heavily reliant on the reproduction quality of their respective harmonies. Their vocal mix Friday night would have sound ed good- even on a fourth-rate bootleg.

In additic;>n to strong backing from her own band, Emmylou followed The Amazing Rhythm Aces, who had a few licks of their own to share. The Aces mixed rhythm and blues with a refined style of "Texas Saloon ing" enjoying much more than warm-up band status with the mixed bag of Eugeni ans on hand.
