Title II and Title VI employees continue to be funded, although only 17 of the o.riginal 31 Title VI positions were picked up in the new contract. The other 14 employees in the Title VI program were sent termination notices. The new contract includes these employees and creates six new positions in the Title II Add-On and Title VI Add-On program. The college had r~quested funding for 32 positions in the latter two programs. The funded positions were very low on the college's priority list, says Dean of Business Operations Tony Birch. Two positions were funded in the Title II Add-On program; jewelry and social science lab assistants. Four positions were funded in the Title VI Add-On program. These are for KLCC radio, the Women's Awareness Center, Student Health Services, and Adult Basic Education. Both Birch and Douda were disappointed. They had hoped for funded positions for the new Downtown Center. Douda says that the college '' still wants the alternative to choose the positions we want," in the new contract with CETA officials. But he did not say whether this would be possible. The college has agreed to pick up the 10 positions from the defunct Willamette Science and Technology Center (formerly Southwestern Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). These employees, who are also CETA funded, will continue their jobs through the LCC Adult Education Department. They will have positions in College Community Relations, Performing Arts, Media Production, Office of Instruction, and Social Science. The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act was created by Congress to combat nation-wide high unemployment. The original CETA program, Title II Basic, was created for ''public service employees." The Emergency Unemployment Act, known as Title VI, created jobs not based specifically on public service employment. Title II Add-On and Title VI Add-On are additions to the two original programs. Stevenson says that 400 Lane County agencies have requested CETA funding this year, but that only 120 of these requests could be granted. If specific positions under the program can't be filled, the money may be reallocated to employable positions. Congress allocated $12 million nationally for the CETA program and Stevenson believes that more will be forthcoming should it be necessary. The 14 member group goes by the name Student Service Associates (SSA's). If a student needs an answer, a guide to resources, to find someone or something, he/she can ask an SSA. If they don't know, they'll find out. The Associate's are students of varying ages who have gone through detailed training during the summer to provide a liaison between counselors and students, says student Diana Gatchell, who participated in the program last Board approves class year. _ And SSA's wear striped vests during registration to stand out as people who credit change can answer questions about the sometimes confusing process too. It's also the SSA's who help if students program the computer for career opportunities in the The LCC Board of Education's Sept. 28 Career Information Center.

Both LCC unions nou) at fact-finding stage; Talks at ~Impasse' Contract negotiations between the LCC Administration and the faculty and classified employees' unions are moving through necessary legal steps. During a "mediation'' period neither the LCCEA (representing the faculty), nor the LCCEF (representing the classified employees) was able to reach a settlement with Mil1s and Associates (representing LCC). An "impasse" was then declared. Both groups have now entered a period of negotiations labelled "fact finding." Both unions must agree separately with the college on the choice of an individual fact finder, chosen from a list of candidate~ provided by the State Employees Relations Board. Then, after both sides have agree< on a hearing date, they present their cast . to the fact finder, and he or she submits tht fact finding. After the report has been submitted, anc if it is rejected by either party, it must b( made public within five days. If a vote tc strike is taken, the employees arr· prohibited from striking until 30 days havt elapsed fo1lowing the rejection of the report. Both the LCCEA and the LCCEF must give 10 days notice before a strike is actually called. The LCCEA made known its list of "unsettled issues" in last week's edition of the TORCH. They are varied and include topics from salaries and evaluation procedures, to the size of a teacher's work load. Negotiations concerning the LCCEF are at a similar standstill, although, according to union President Darrel Allen, the issue centers more directly around economic bargaining points. He was hopeful, however, that agreements can be reached before strike procedures are necessary. Ruth Heuser, in representing the college for Mills and Associates, was non-commital in deliniating the biggest stumbling blocks on the Administration side. She was reasonably confident that neither side of the negotiation table prefers a strike, and is waiting to see what is accomplished in the fact finding stage before issuing any further statements.

Demonstrators could lose rµoney (CPS) -- Financial aid and campus protest do not mix. In fact, they don't even socialize according to federal regulations on the books since 1966 which stipulate that students receiving federal financial assistance never participate in campus disruptions. Vice Chancellor Thomas Dutton at the University of California at Davis announced in June that 18 students arrested in May would not lose funds altough the arrests would stand. Dutton acknowledged the forms but explained .that the federal statutes were While there was never an actual "anti-riot" statement form issued by the federal government, colleges could require students to sign such a statement. The University of California at Berkeley used the form until several weeks ago asking students to state in writing that they had never "directly participated" in a campus demonstration nor exhibited '' extremely aggressive behavior.'' After receiving several letters protesting the procedure, Berkeley ended the practice but only after more than 4,000 people had signed this year's anti-riot forms. Frank Mondrian, financial aid officer at Berkeley, said that the forms were destroyed and that no student who signed the statements would be penalized. The original regulation, part of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and Department of Labor's' 1966-1967 higher education amendments, stated that federal funds in the form of loans, grants, salaries or other remuneration would not be paid to any students, teachers or researchers who disrupted normal university business or forcefully seized university property. A major section of the regulation was ruled unconstitutional in January 1977 and amended to apply to students convicted of any crime on campus. The regulation could have a disastrous effect on students who participated in campus disruptions last spring. Riots occurred at Stanford, Berkeley, several University of California schools, the University of Massachusetts as Amherst, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Hampshire College in Massachusetts, and the University of Maryland. As many as 294 students were arrested at Stanford and if convicted , could lose financial aid. The protests centered around universities' investment policies in South Africa. Universities claim that the anti-riot clause has no connection with the demonstrations. "We don't really care," said Dan Fitzpatrick, financial aid director at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Maintaining that there has been •'no significant demonstration at the university since 1970," Fitzpatrick said that the anti-riot oaths did not apply in any case in Massachusetts. At Hampshire College, the site of a four-day sit-in at an administration building last May, Mary Murphy, financial aid director, claimec;I she had never heard of the forms and that using such a procedure had "never been considered."

OCl~OCl(J), • nu Suggestions for ASL CC To the Editor: Student Government at Lane Community College (LCC) should not be allowed to die at the hands of an overly zealous Administration. An Administration that seems to believe students should be led around by the hand and have permission slips to organize. Students should not have to rely soley upon the Administration for organization and activities (social and/or •. political). This is, or should be, the purpose of the Associated Students of Lane Community ColJege (ASLCC). The crux of the present conflict between the Administration of LCC (and the Board of Education) and the·ASLCC is funding of the latter. This past summer, the Administration and the Board terminated the ASLCC power base by eliminating . a certain fee paid at registration towards Student Government. The Administration believes future monies for the ASLCC should be ''voluntary student funding via the election process." This statement comes from Paul Y amold 's article in the TORCH of Sept. 22, 1977. This sounds very peculiar when one considers the students were not the ones to strip the ASLCC of power and money (via the election process). It is also interesting to note that if voluntary student funding of student government were to come into being •'an adequate measure of administrative supervision should be maintained." This statement was attributed to Jay Jones, Student Activities director, in Mr. Yarnold's article m~ntioned above. It sounds similar to conditions we read about in_Eastern Europe. The ASLCC can, and should be, used as .an organizing and central body for students on this campus. It should be student run and maintain a working relationship with the Administration. The ASLCC should ~so have a degree of autonomy in this relationship. It should be student-funded and student-directed.

Dwyer, 42 years old, is a veteran of Oregon politics and currently serves as Chairman of the Lane County Democratic NORML also announced the Party. appointment of John Stewart as Associate Director of the Oregon affiliate. Stewart, also of Eugene, is a graduate of the University of Oregon and former candidate for the state legislature. Gordon Brownell, NORML's West Coast Coordinator in San Francisco, stated that a principal goal of the revitalized Oregon NORML affiliate will be enactment of legislation in 1979 removing criminal penalties for cultivation of small amount of marijuana for personal use. "In 1973 Oregon became the first state to decriminalize marijuana possession and the results have been overwhelmingly positive," Brownell stated. "Since then, nine other states -- comprising one-third of the nation's population and land area -have adopted similar laws. The Oregon experience has been so favorable that President Carter has asked Congress to enact new federal legislation, ·modeled after the law in Oregon." Brownell cited three surveys taken in Oregon by ,..J>rug Abuse Council, an independent, non-profit national foundation based in Washington, D.C., which demonstrate .. no significant increase in marijuana use in Oregon since the decriminalization law was enacted in 1973. According to these surveys, during the four years of decriminalization the number of Oregon adult~ who are current marijuana users has .increased a mere 3 per cent, which compares favorably to other states. The most recent _survey, released earlier this year, found increasing public support for further liberalization of Oregon's marijuana laws -- 58 per cent of all Oregon adults support the current decriminalization approach or believe marijuana possession and/ or sale should • be legalized altogether. Besides Oregon, decriminalization laws have been enacted in Alaska, Maine, Colorado, California, Ohio, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York and North Carolina. In all ten states, criminal arrest and jail pen3'ties for possession of smal_l amount of marijuana have been eliminated, and replaced by citation-enforced fines, similar to traffic violations. ''The people of Oregon can be-proud that our state has once again demonstrated its leadership in an important area of public policy,'' Dwyer stated upon his announcement as Oregon NORML C~rdinator. "The ~uccess of our marijuana possession law has been amply documented. Since 1973, it has saved millions of dollars in valuable police and court costs needed to combat serious crime and it has reduced much of the hostility and disrespect towards our legal system which harsh marijuana laws breed among the young.'' Reform of the cultivation laws is important, Dwyer explained, because current laws inadvertently provide an incentive for users to buy marijuana from illicit dealers, where they risk only a small civil fine, as opposed to growing small Founded in 1970, NORML is currently amounts for their own use, which is a working at all levels of government to felony offense and adds the risk of a state eliminate criminal penalties for private prison sentence. marijuana use through public education, legislative lobbying and judicial challeng"It would make more sense if users es.

Nick Gerety and Larry Day were two "Trekkies" who turned out in costume for the festival. photographs by Jan Brown 'A Man Called Intrepid' has spiee and intrigue by Paul Yarnold Who can resist a good spy story, particularly one spiced with political intrigue, assassination plots, enemy code breaking, and psychological sabotage. "A Man Called Intrepid," by William Stevenson provides real life spy vs. spy; while also revealing some of the unusual ways that Allied Intelligence obtained Hitler's modus operendi, from 1939 till 1945. ''Intrepid'' also probes deeply into the agonies of decision-making: in the early days of World War II. It gives the reader a taste of the intoxicating powers shared by Roosevelt and Churchill, and an empathetic look at these two men resolved to wage a ''secret war'' against Hitler, while most of the world "looked the other way" in favor of appeasement. Sir William Stevenson -- code name "Intrepid" -- former World War I flying ace, amateur boxing champion, inventor of radio-photograph_v, and self-made Canadian millionaire, was chosen to coordinate clandestine Allied Intelligence Operations, by Churchill and Roosevelt. Stevenson would spearhead the ''secret war'' both in England and in the United States (unofficially); at the same time, he shuffled dangerously between London and Washington (in empty R.A.F. bombers) to allow a personal, verbal dialogue between Churchill and Roosevelt. "Intrepid" set up shop in New York's Rockefeller Center under the title of' 'British Security Coordination'' (BSC) with the personal but unofficial support of Roosevelt. From this base of operations in the US, and from another secret training ground in northern Canada, agents were sent into German territory. Some stole documents, some obtained code books, and the biggest prize of all turned out to be a German coding machine, called "enigma," which was smuggled out of occupied Poland. One of the most successful operati9ns planned and coordinated in Canada turned out to be the assassination of Chief Nazi Executioner Heydrich, who had engineered the German's launch into Poland, and arranged for the extermination of countless Jews there. The "hit" was carried out successfully. In England, while Hitler was ''blitzkrieging'' through Europe, Stevenson had a team of cryptologists and technicians working in radio communications. By utilizing a network of underground receivers in occupied territory and the coding tools that had been captured from the Germans, they finalJy broke the German code. Thus, Hitler's secret orders to his high command would be in Churchill's hands in a matter of hours, in Roosevelt's hands in a matter of days. And though Hitler depended heavily on radio transmitted orders for sucessful "blitzkrieg" raids, he never realized that his "enigma" code had been broken.~:w:xxx» &L.1ii<><>EJ ,c,. Fora time, from Stevenson's viewpoint, German occupation of Great Britain was inevitable. The British Intelligence was then preparing to fight a guerilla war on the homefront, and counting on support from the New York base of operations. Stevenson's attention was drawn to 1) delaying Hitler in an invasion attempt and 2) gaining a U.S. military commitment in England. (This did not happen till late in 1941 after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the Germans declared war.) Though the breaking of the enigma code was a distinct advantage in the trands of the Allies, it posed some moral dilemmas for Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stevenson.

Piles of magazines, with names like "Outer Limits," and "Cinefantastque," the latter featuring a cover story about Ray Harryhausen, the world's foremost purveyor of fantasy on the screen, (Harry hausen created the monsters in the "Sinbad" film series) and "Heavy Metal" a magazine which is rapidly invading the minds of the fantasy oriented Sci-Fi fans, were admired and fondled by a thousand or so "Trekkies." Hundreds of posters were on display featuring everything from a photo of C3PO of "Star Wars." to Giant globules of light-form energies that attacked and devoured whole galaxies, from a "Star Trek" episode. All were housed in a large room in the center of the building where dealers hawked the colorful memorabilia from "Star Trek," "Star Wars," and "Wizards." Hordes of people gathered at the Lane County Fairgrounds at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 1, unmindful of the nippy fall weather. The anxious youths stood patiently in line for a chance to view the spacey activities inside the large building that usually houses the Picadilly Flea Market. The question can be asked, why are so many attracted to this type of festival? When asked if he would pay $6.00 for a blueprint of the cosmos, a young Sci-Fi fanatic said. "Well, maybe, a freaked-out Trekkie addict : might buy· anything.'' Snace Con Five, arnved at the Fairgrounds after much media hyp•e, including press conference at the Valley River Inn, Sept. 30. The man locally responsible for bringing the festival to Eugene is LCC student, Charlie Halbrook. Present at the festival to sign autographs, and talk to fans, were George Takei, who played "Lt. Sulu" in the "Star Trek" series, and Grace Lee Whitney ("Yeoman Rand"). Whitney spoke to the ''Trekkies" from a stage in a huge room that was not quite half filled. She urged the fans to write to Paramount Studios and request that the part of Mr. Spock played by Leonard Nimoy, be included in the coming "Star Trek 11" series, which is slated to have its TV debut in April of 1978. Nimoy's part was excluded from the new series because money for the part of Spock was not alloted due to hassles between Nimov and Paramount officials. Whitney said that she hoped the scripts for the new series would expand her part and the part of Lt. Sulu. She answered random questions from the audience about her favorite "Star Trek" episodes. She favors the episodes in which her two children and William Shatner's ("Captain Kirk") children had parts. Whitney added somewhat jokingly that Nimoy wouldn't allow his children to appear for fear that they might be corrupted. The future of sex looks good outside the Earth's atmosphere, thanks partly to Whitney. As a child she was influenced by the sexy cJothing of the ladies in the "Buck Rogers" film serial. Initially the "Star Trek" series had intended that the ladies aboard the star shipship Enterprise would wear long pants. But Whitney, who referred to herself as a feminist, encouraged the use of short skirts for the female members of the crew. She said, "What the hell, you have to have a little sex appeal on the ship. The guys are up there for five years, you have to give them something to look at.'' Is there room for violence in the future? Man has always yearned for adventure. Where can one go that has not already 'been tread upon? "Space the final frontier" offers unlimited opportunity. The words "Star Wars" conjures up visions of battles in outer space, and Science and Science Fiction go hand in hand to manifest a future reality. "May the Force be with you." The "Jedi Knight" thrusts his sword forward to defend his idea of good. . It is the adolescent within us that toys with the future.

Earau dica by Paul Land , There was a time, not too long ago, when recorded music was simpler than it is today. Whole albums were recorded in one forty-five minute session, with little orchestration included. Stereo was confined to those preoccupied with ''woofets and tweeters." Nobody had a tape deck in their car, although small 45rpm record players flourished briefly in the late Fifties. Record albums ("LPs") cost about $2.50. And, most of the music sounded about the same. But dis is da Sebenties, mon, and things have Diversified. Music is now a bil1ion-dollar-a-year industry. Everythings in stereo (there once was something called quad, which sounded good- but unfortunately appeared during the '74 Nixon recession when folks didn't have the money for two speakers, let alone four). Auto tape decks are as common as lung cancer. Over 1,500 albums are released each calendar year, and it's common for a record store to have 10,000 titles on hand. And with the new copyright laws raising the amount of royalties paid to the songwriters, a new album can easily set you back six bucks. Six dollars an album! the enraged reader shoulted. This is robbery! Welh__yes a_nd Oct. 6, 19 no. You see, there are alternatives to buying new records. Some of these alternatives (such as theft) are not safe or convenient, some are. Which is where I come in. You see, music is my heroin. Sometimes I buy a new record every two days on the average. _ This antisocial behavior is punching holes in my checkbook, but it's also given me a good eye, ear and nose for music. It's also forced me to shop around for those albums that, for one reason or another, were overlooked and are now lurking around in supermarkets and some record stores waiting to be picked up. In fact. they're so hard up for cish they'll let you take them home for about three -dollars. Which means that, if you're like me, you can have two for the price of one. But how do you know which one to buy? Very seldom will you hear any of these records on the radio, FM or AM, since they're not Current Releases. Some are so obscure your favorite DJ hasn't heard of them. Now, I don't profess to have a golden ear, at least as far as American Top 40 goes (which isn't very far), but I can probably steer you in the right direction. So as not to offend my audience I'll try to cover all types of music, with an emphasis Continued on page S H - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . . - - - - -.............~~-------'-----'-5 ct. 13, 1977 page LCC grad wants eo..-bat assignment by Ed Evans "We got to fire T.O.D.'s and Dragons and had a good old time. T.O.D. is a type of anti-tank weapon, (I don't remember what the letters stand for). A Dragon is a missile that you guide with wires. It's also an anti-tank weapon." Virginia Burr, an LCC graduate, was speaking about one of her experiences at an Army summer camp, where she earned enough merit points to become the first · female Cadet Battalion Commander in University of Oregon ROTC history. Her goal is to earn a commission in a combat branch -- and she's already had airborne· (parachute) training on a voluntary basis. Cadet Battalion Commander is equal in rank to a commissioned second lieutenant. It is the highest cadet position on the U of 0 campus. Cadet Burr is responsible for everything '' good or bad whether I know , about it or not,'' that happens in the cadet ranks below her. So far, she has only been on the job for one week, but ''loves it. There is a lot of work, and a lot responsibility, but I know I'm doing something important." Basically her job is to see that requests and orders from mllltary instructors are carried out. She has a staff of eleven under her direct command, mostly men. "New cadets [men] are used to the idea and don't mind being led by a woman. Some of the older-regular army types are still trying to get used to it though." Cadet positions are awarded by merit points earned in a summer camp -- Burr spent five weeks at Ft. Lewis near Tacoma, Washington. The camp gave cadets practical, on-the-spot training. In addition to a wide range of equipment training (everything from machine guns to anti-tank missles), they were also given leadership tests. Getting her squad and a gasoline drum across a ten foot gap with three small planks was one problem Burr drew. She accomplished the goal in what an instructor called excellent time by placing two boards (one wouldn't fit of course) end-to-end, then moving everyone across. She said it wasn't hard getting the heavy gas drum across, but there was some difficulty in moving the people : "Some of them didn't think the boards would hold up.'' When she received her current cadet rank after summer camp, she moved into a more administrative role. "We're still in training. When we get a request we fill it as quickly as we can. (First) ... we give the instructors our plan. They either approve it or tell us to do it again. They always evaluate the way we handle the request." But not all of Burr's training has been done on the ground. She is one of the few women to go through parachute training at ft; Benning, Georgia. "I loved it. You just float down, it's so quiet you can't even hear the wind." Of the five jumps she's made, she says the night jump was the most dangerous. They had lights marking where to steer away from and where the pick-up zone was. You can't see the ground, all you can do is get in a landing position and wait for the ground to hit you . ... A lot of people . got hurt on the night jump. Many of them tried to anticipate when the ground was going to be there; a lot of them guessed wrong." Burr says the three-week course was full of intensive training, most of it endless "The repetition of the same things. training is important. · If you make a mistake, that's it. After a while it comes to you automatic and you don't even have to think about it. On my jump the four second count was automatic.'' "Jumpers count four seconds, while expecting the main chute to open. If it hasn't opened by then, they pull their reserve chute. "There've been a lot of improvements in chutes. It's rare if a chute doesn't open, and there's a new kind that has never failed in the three years it's been used. "They told us that if our chutes don't work, we're to bring them back so they could see what was wrong with them." She smiles at this bit of military humor.

When they're first released, they cost around six dol1ars.

Before Hendrix made it big in the States he was a studio musician in Europe, playing rhythm guitar for various jazz and pop artists. When he died somebody thought it would be a good idea to resurrect his material from this period, ostensibly to ''preserve his legacy.'' The only things preserved, however, were the profits for the record companies. Most of this junk bears no relation whatever to his groundbreaking late Sixties work with the Experience, and probably would never have been released if he were still around.

TORCH Oct. 6, 1977 - Oct. 13, 1977 Instructor rescues LCC student Student Terry Adey recouping from mountain fall by Michael Riley graphics by Judy Jordan One cannot live by wood pulp alone (CPS/ZNS) -- It was bound to happen. Fierce competition does strange things to the minds of marketing people. When high-fiber diets became the health rage of the year, a volley of high-roughage products streamed into the stores. ITI-owned Continental Baking Company jumped on the bandwagon with a new loaf of bread called "Fresh Horizons." It's fiber content - sawdust. They call it ''finely powdered food grade cellulose.'' The bread wrappers boast a fiber content higher, ounce-for-ounce, than almost any food and a lower calorie count than most breads. The Canadian government has banned the product because of its wood-pulp ingredients. Here, the Federal Trade Commission has suggested that it not be legally called bread, and is investigating the company for possible deceptive advertising. _Seems as how the label on the Fresh Horizons package contains the word "wheat'' displayed prominently across a wheat field that is being harvested. While many other breads _use bran, the outside portion of a wheat kernel, for fiber, Fresh Horizons uses a non-nutritive plant fiber. The Food and Drug Administration is on their case, too. They forced the Continental Baking Company to drop its medical claims that Fresh Horizons would prevent such illnesses as diabetes, varicose veins, · and cancer of the colon. These unsubstantiated medical claims, printed on the wrappers, on leaflets distributed in stores, and in advertising in medical journals, would make the bread an unapproved new drug. After threat of bread seizure from the FDA, Continental has agreed to change its tune. Powdered cellulose is an accepted ingredient, according to the FDA. However, nutritionists suggest that Fresh Horizon's relatively . high price for an . empty-caloried ingredient could be bypass, ed in favor of a product made with more nutritional whole wheat and bran. It's a small world. Sometimes LCC can even extend to the Rocky Mountains. Milt Madden, LCC history instructor, experienced this concept during the summer. Madden worked as a ranger in the Rocky Mountain National Park. "It's located north and west of Denver,•' Madden explains, "I've done this for the last 15 summers. With the 'Smokey the bear' hat, the whole thing." Part of Madden's job involves rescuing people who are injured in the park. Usually the park handles over 40 emergencies during the summer, only 15 occured this last year. Rescue operations require as many people as are available. Last August, Madden was asked to participate in the rescue of Terry Adey, a former LCC student. Adey had been rock climbing near Ouzel Falls in the park when she slipped and fell 40 feet, suffering serious back injuries requiring her to be carried out of the accident site on a stretcher. Word of the accident was received by Madden and other park employees in the early evening. "It's about 20 miles away from where I was living," he explains, pointing to a map -of the area. 18 people were involved with the rescue, Madden was part of the the '' carry-out crew,'' three teams of six people who would carry the stretcher from the accident site down the trail. Native American woman now awaiting trial in forced sterilization case An Opinion Piece Prepared By College Press Service (CPS) -- Steeltown USA. There is a landmark case occuring in Pittsburgh, but don't tell anyone there that. ''You mean that Indian Thing," commented a woman from the editorial office of the Pittsburgh Press. Their court reporter didn't think the Serena case merited much attention. But women around the country are following the odyssey of Norma Jean Serena, who was sterilized after delivering her third child. At the same time, he·r children, including the new baby, were seized and placed in foster homes. Serena is charging health and weltare officials of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, with a systematic conspiracy to steal her children and forcibly sterilize her without consent. If she wins, it will be the first time forced sterilization has been defined as a violation of civil rights. "We've got a really strong case," said Richard Levine, Serena's lawyer. Through numerous pretrial battles, he has obtained memos and depositions which purportedly document an extensive conspiracy among health and welfare officials. Like most conspiracies in bureaucratic America, the one against Norma Jean Serena owes more to insensitive ignorance than actual malice. Serena came to the attention of the Child Welfare Services when neighbors complained that she WILS living with a black man and consequently.it was dangerous for their children to.play in the vicinity of her apartment. C~seworkers investigated and it was their report wt,ich influenced the doctors to sterilize Serena. In their '' Statement for Need for Therapeutic Sterilization," only one reason was listed: 'Socioeconomic.' She was sterilized because she was poor, Native American and living with a black man_. It was August 1970, when Serena entered the hospital expecting a routine delivery. It took 3 years of litigation to win her children back. And now, seven years later, she is still waiting for Judge Barron P. McCune to set a court date. Before Adey could be carried, a "back board'' had to be placed behind her. '' We made her comfortable and warm and were about to roll her on her side to stuff this board under her when one of the permanent rangers mentioned that maybe we shouldn't do it that way,'' Madden continues. '' So we all got around her and lifted her up, placing the board under her instead of rolling her." Later on, after Adey had been carried out, the doctors told Madden and some of the other crew members that if they had done anything else she probably would never be able to walk again. middle of the night, carrying down a student." Adey really doesn't remember too much of the events given above because she was in shock most of the time. She and Madden did talk, however, while they "bounced down the trail." She was hospitalized for seven and a half weeks and is now up and walking around. As far as future plans go, she hopes to attend Portland Community College next year. Over the last few days, according to Adey, she attended a concert and an art show. Adey has to move carefully when she walks since there is a possibility of a spinal disc severing the spinal cord and causing paralysis. Additional surgery is a possibility, a Hherring rod operation," so she can go horseback riding, skiing and •mountain climbing again. Adey and Madden didn't officially meet until they were going down the trail with the stretcher. Someone mentioned to him that the woman was from Oregon and a student at LCC.

(OISA) season. The Titans looked like they had the game won as they led 2-1 late in the second half, but a rebound shot be a Western Baptist forward knotted the game at 2-2 and ended the game in a tie. The visitors from Western Baptist scored first, at 2: 12 of the first half, but the Titans came back to tie the game on Forward Larry Sylwester' s ten yard shot from the left side of the Western Baptist goal, following a beautiful assist from Abdul Al-Sudairi. Sylwester scored again early in the second half to give the Titan 's a 2-1 lead. Wing George Trano's perfectly executed corner kick sailed in front of WB's goal and Sylwester leaped high to-head the ball into the net for his second goal of the match. Sylwester's fine performance was tarnished, though, when Western Baptist scored following a Titan mix-up in front of their net. "We were surprised som.e what by Western Baptist's good play,'' said coach George G~•prgyfalvy. "although I expected them to be improved from last year, as all of their starters from last season are back. " According to Gyorgyfalvy, WB came into Right wing George Trano [in the light-colored jersey] of the men's soccer team was held scoreless in Friday's encounter with Western Baptist, but Larry Sylwester was able to come through with two goals to power- the Titans to a 2-2 tie. Martin leads Titans in Carrie Franklin cc-classic the game extremely well prepared physically as well as tactically. "They studied our team's style of play last year and devised specific tactics to stop our offense and penetrate our defense." Western Baptist, playing what the . Titans' coach call the "kick and go" or long passing game, was unable to push through LCC' s defense with any degree of . authority, as the Titans limited WB to only seven shots at Lane's goal. Unfortunately, the Titans' efforts at the other end of the field on offense were being stymied by a physically stifling Western Baptist defense. George Trano, LCC' s premier forward and the league's top scorer a year ago, was never able to really breakaway from WB's coverage, and the outstanding play of the visitor's goalie repeatedly thwarted Titan drives. ''They were bigger than us physically and they played an extremely aggressive style of defense," said Gyorgyfalvy. "We'll just have to improve our physical condition with more endurance and speed work.'' The men's soccer team faced Mt.
