Gourmet dining comes to LCC

For lovers of leisurely
luncheons -- table cloths,
candles, but minus the wine -LCC Foodservices will offer
''gourmet dining'' in about three
weeks. The President's Dining
Room will be converted into a
new restaurant offering a one
item menu, and prices will go up
-- ranging from $2. 75 to four
dollars. It will be open

approximately three days a week
by reservation only.
Members of the TORCH staff
aren't quite sure how one can
dine quietly during the LCC noon
hour, or if backpacks and
bluejeans are conducive to
formal dining, but the
atmosphere promises tq be a
refreshing change from the usual
plastic seat and table fare.·

Ashlruie builders
face criminal
charges

by Paul Yamold
Two Portland men, responsible for the
construction and management - of LCC's
Ashlane Housing complex in Springfield,
are now being sued by the U.S.
Department of Justice for $1.25 million.
Philip McLennan and Frederick Bender
were named in the suit as owners and
principle operators of Adult Student
Housing, Inc., and Adult Student Housing
of Memphis, Inc., according to the Eugene
Register-Guard {Oct. 6, 1977).
Federal authorities are charging McLennan and Bender under the False Claim
Act, for allegedly entering ''into an
agreement, combination, and conspiracy to
defraud the United States by knowingly
obtaining, and aiding to obtain, the
payment of false, fictitious or fraudulent
claims by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and
Development (HUD)."
In recent months Bender and McLennan,
who were convicted 17 months ago of
criminal fraud and conspiracy, have been
attempting to build a work-release -center
for selected prison inmates in Springfield,
but have failed to win the approval of the
Springfield Planning Commission.
Bender and McLennan are appealing
their 1976 convictions -- for making
personal use of federal student housing
loan funds -- and are currently awaiting the
court's decision regarding their appeal.
Ashlane was only one of six projects
detailed in the seven count federal
indictment; and the Justice Department is
seeking damages of approximately S1 .26
million for the alleged combined conspiracies.
Though the Ashlane project was - to
provide student housing for LCC students,
it has never been linked to the college in
any operational capacity, other than its
name. Although Bender and Mclellan
obtained an endorsement of the housing
project -- as a possibility -- from the LCC
Board of Education in April, 1971, no
financial relationship was established
between LCC and Ashlane. The "concept'• of the plan had to be approved by
LCC before Bender and Mclellan were
eligible for federal funding, which they
subsequently obtained, explained a college
official this week.
The LCC Administration disclaimed any
connection . with the Ashlane project
{except for the use of the school's name)
both in 1971, when the housing was
approved, and again this week.
The management of Ashlane -- in regard
to both the misuse of funds, and the abuse
of tenants' rights -~ has been in question
for some time, and investigated by sources
other than the Justice Department. In
1972, the Oregon Student Public Interest
Research Group (OSPffiG) called for an
audit of statewide Adult Student Housing
{ASH) corporations, charging Bender and
Mclellan with excessive rent hikes. A
subsequent HUD audit -- made public as a
result of OSPIRG's appeal to the court, via
the Freedom of Information Act -- revealed
mismanagement of funds. HUD auditors
then recommended that misused funds be
given back to the appropriate college
housing projects, according to a story in
the October, 1975 TORCH.
• Bender and Mclellan, when convicted
last year of pocketing funds destined for
the ASH projects, were each given three
year prison sentences and a $50,000 fine.
According to the Register-Guard story,
Bender declined to comment on the recent
civil suit which . is pending. His only
comment was in regard to the filing o_f his
second appeal, which alleges that the
government induced its witnesses to
commit perjury.

Should dogs he sold for experiments?

Human e Sorietg IJreaks its own niles
by Michael Riley
"I didn't want to punish them; it's over
the dam. I just want to stop it from
happening again."
Bill Dwyer, of the County Commissioner's office, refers to the selling or
''adopting'' of 10 dogs to James Hickey, an
Albany businessman, by the Lane County
Humane Society. According to records
kept by the society the dogs were sold on
Aug. 21 for $150.
Dwyer claims Hickey sells dogs for
medical experimentation and "anything
else he can sell them for,'' alleges Dwyer.
He adds that the Humane Society broke a
Lane County code that says, "no live dog
shall be sold by the animal control
authority for sugical or medical demonstratiol! or vivisection."
The code is said to be too old, according
to the County Commissioner's legal staff in
the Saturday edition of the Springfield
News. The Lane Animal Control folded in
July of 1976 and the Tri-Agency Dog
Control Authority was formed to handle
animal problems. The agency contracts
with the Humane Society for pound service
and it is not certain if the code applies to
the society.
Humane Society policy holds that the
purchaser must agree "not to sell, give
away or abandon the animal'' and must
promise "not to permit the animal to be
used for purposes of vivisection or
experimentation.'' The agreement comes
in the "adoption" contract.
The TORCH contacted Hickey. He said
he sells dogs in addition to owning the
Lebanon Bag Co. Hickey buys dogs ''from
several counties,'' as far away as Spokane.
He adds that he sells the dogs to
companies for the testing of experimental
animal foods, for use as guard dogs, and as
pets.
mckey also admitted to selling dogs for
"medical research, for field trial dogs,
everything." He says he holds a "Class B
Federal Kennel License" and must hold a
bill of sale on every dog he has at his
kennels.
"I'm under a $200,000 liability . . . I
couldn't sell a dog to anyone without

]having a purchasing ·number and without
having • their name," Hickey continues.
"There's no way I could pick up or buy a
dog unless I had a receipt for it.''
Hickey claims he sold 30 dogs last month
and he has to keep a record of his sales and
what he sold them for.
"The only dogs they [the Humane

The forms necessary for the adoption of
animals from the Humane Society have the
policy written on them. Since the County
Commissioners office feels they cannot
enforce an old code then perhaps new ones
should be legislated. Strictly enforced,

Society Jwould let me have were dogs that
were condemned to be killed," Hickey
asserts. "Everything they did, in my
opinion, was on the up-and-up and I feel
that everything I did was also." He found
the Humane Society to be "very strict"
concemlng the selling of the dogs.

Hickey believes that since he purchased
the dogs from the Humane Society they
should have no say over his selling them to
other buyers. "If they give me a dog,
that's different," admitting that the
Humane Society could specify where the
dogs could go.
Hickey's only complaint about the
service from the Humane Society is that

these new laws would serve as guidelines
not only for the Humane Society_but for any
institution that deals with animals.
Why would anyone think that one man
would want to adopt 10 dogs? Walt Drum,
who served as the Humane Society director
last August when the sale was made, has
since been dismissed. It seems odd that no
one questioned such a mass sale if the
Society followed its policy.
The choice these animals had was nil, it
was either death by the much publicized
"Euthanair" chamber or possible sale to
someone wanting a dog. In this case it was
to a man interested in profit, someone who
participated in overlooking the Humane
Society's policy.

Board holds OK on ASLCC program

by Sally Oljar

The LCC Board of Education voted last stated that he supported the program, as
night to postpone a decision on the did Student Activities secretary Evelyn
program funding proposal submitted by Tennis. Jones called the proposal "One of
ASLCC officers until the Board's Nov. 9 the best and most reasonable." He did
point out that some of the services the
meeting.
The student government proposal pro- program intended to fund, specificaJJy a
vides funding in excess of $20,000 for proposed student lounge, should be paid
programs and services for Winter and for by the college.
The Board, in its decision to delay it~
Spring terms. If the Board approves the
student body will vote on a manadatory 15 approval, was acting primarily on a
cent fee per credit hour for funding of recommendation from Dean of Studcnb
Jack Carter. Carter says that more detail,
ASLCC programs.
In addition to voting for or against a and potential problem areas need t,, h t
mandatory fee, students will be asked to worked out before the Board and the
approve up to a maximum of $200 student body can give its approval.
Carter said he supported two areas of the
per month salary for the ASLCC President.
If a salary is passed it wilJ reduce funding program--Legal Services and the ·propo~cd
for the proposed "Creativity Fund" by . construction of a student lounge--but he
was against a salary for the ASLCC
$1,464.
The "Creativity Fund" is designed to President. He told the Board there wa~ a

Memoranda
ASLCC officer quits
~ver 'bureaucracy'
To the Editor:
I have recently quit my position as Cultural Director of the Associated Students of
LCC. The reasons behind my decision were
many, but most stemmed from the bureaucratic process that we were dealing with. I
was in charge of coordinating cultural
events on campus, utilizing the vending
machine profits, which few students realize
are earmarked for our concerts, movies,
lecturers, and special events. Having had
the position for spring term of last year (as
well as all summer and up until last week),
I could see how we (the ASLCC studentelected representatives) were slowly being
strangled by administrative intervention;
much like how a boa constrictor will
squeeze harder and harder everytime its
victim exhales. The question in my mind
is not the power of the ASLCC, but representation of student rights.
I spent a good deal of my summer in
preparation of the cultural events for this
year, only to have red tape put in between
myself and the projects that I was dealing
with in representing the students. There
exists an 8-page memo from myself to
Sallie Torres, assistant director of Student
Activities, which outlined the cultural
directions that we were headed towards,
but the implementing of these plans were
effectively headed off by administrative
red tape.
There will probably be no events this
fall, even though there is money for them.
This money represents 90 per cent of the
vending machine profits and generally
totals about $5,000 per year, and is earmarked for cultural events.
Mr. Jay Jones is the Director of Student
Activities and has full control (in the form
of veto power) over this money and the
ASLCC funds, as well as supervising and
signing Work Study. He has, at this point,
full control over students, in regards to this
area. This is a result of having his job year
after year, while the students' representation changes every summer, which, not
surprisingly, is when the ASLCC traditionally gets screwed.
One example is how the Legal Aid Office
was taken over (in breach of contract) last
summer through the intervention of Mr.
Jones. Our problems as students wanting
our rights does not stem from one individual but from ourselves for not caring
enough to protest.
I took over the cultural program last
spring because it was dying of neglect and
in assuming that position, protested the
neglect. In quitting this post six months
later, it was also in protest to the manipula,tion I saw happening.
I would like to comment briefly concerning the Editorial last week. A great deal of
it was accurate considering the amount of
information that you had to deal with.
However, I ~ould like to clarify some
points. Salary was only a minor issue with
the ASLCC officers. Our proposal included
tuition-scholarship for six officers (president, vice president, cultural director,
publicity director, Student Resource Center Director, and treasurer) and $200/
month salary for the president. Except for
the Student Resource Center Director, all
of the other monetary remunerations are
traditional; having always been part of
our budget.
The LCC Board's decision, in effect, took
away the president's salary, denied the
SRC director's scholarship, and gave us
$1,750 with which to survive all year.
Programs that existed last year (the most
controversial and expensive was Legal Aid
-$16,000) will no longer be, and can only
be student-initiated (if it's okay with the
administration), not student controlled.
Having seen this issue from many facets
(i.e. •as a student, and as a representative
of the students, getting a first-hand view of
the bureaucratic process), I can't help but
feel that the manipulation of LCC student
representation is as much a Karmic reward

Empty headed cou:rt cases, Tl' violenf!e
by Darrell Beck

(Editor's note: Dr. Darell Beck is an
instructor in the LCC Mass Communication De partment.)

By now no doubt you've all heard or
read about the Florida court case of
Ronny Zamora. He's the 15-year old
Miami Beach resident who was convicted recently of murdering his 84-year old
neighbor, despite defense lawyer Ellis
Rubin's argument that the boy was
driven to commit the foul deed by TV.
Rubin argued that the boy's excessive
viewing of TV violence had made him
insane. In his closing argument~ to the
jury, Rubin said ''If they sell deodorant
and automobiles and beer in 30
seconds, imagine what 30 minutes of
violence can do, repeated again and
again and again."
Reading all of this reminded me of
something that happened to me last
week in l!J.Y own home. ,

I was walking through the
living room, wliere the TV
was on. Midstride, I was
seized by a JO-second junk
food commercial and ate 14
family size bags of potato
chips on the spot. My
self-control returned only
when the dip ran out. I had
dizzy spells and an upset
stomacb for two days. I plan
to sue, but don't know as yet
whether to accuse Nalleys or
KVAL.
My tale is all nonsense of course, as
was Rubin's unsuccessful argument to
the jury. One can only hope Mr.
Rubin's legal scholarship in the appeal
that he plans to make is better than his
scholarship about TV's effects was in
the original case.
Anyway, it has always interested me
that those such as Mr. Rubin who
attribute powerful and overwhelming

Low salt diet for
sprains says doctor
by the Staff of Student Health Services
Got a sprained ankle? There's a simple
solution. Try a low-salt diet, says Dr. Adam
Moore of Squantum, Massachusetts.
Salty food encourages water retention,
which increases swelling, which stretches
- tissue-which hurts. So elevate the leg,
wear firm low-heeled shoes, rest the
injured ankle as much as possible, and
avoid salty treats like popcorn, pretzels,
potato chips, french fries, and anchovies.
In fact, don't add any salt to your food until
the sprain is healed. Older people, who
tend to retain water, will find this advice
especially helpful.
Yes, the. Student Health Service is in
operation again-in a new location, and not
yet quite together. Hut if you don't mind
some pounding going on, or waiting a bit
while we locate items that are misplaced
because of the move, we'll be glad to see
you. We're on the First Floor of the Center

The prevalent ailment right now seems
to be the common cold-and lots of them.
Remember there's not even one medication that will cure or even shorten the common cold. There are a number of over-thecounter medications that can relieve some
of the troublesome symptoms. For a useful

effects to TV only claim those effects to
excuse undesirable kinds of human
behavior. Logically, it ought to work
both ways. But one never hears a
valedictorian's speech saying "Left to
my own druthers, I'd have been a felon
and a wino.
Thank you, Captain
Kangaroo.''
The causes of human behavior are
extremely difficult to pin down. But we
do know for sure that TV is not the
single reason that people do something.
The effects of TV programming and
commercials are simply not all-important in determining why you do what
you do. Thus, from the stand point of
mass media scholarship, Mr. Rubin's
defeat was deserved because his
argument was untenable and u.ninfonn-

ed.

But to say all of this still doesn't
exculpate TV completely from a villain's
role in terms of the undesirable social
effects TV does have. It is no secret to
anyone that American commercial
television programming is saturated
with depictions of violence against
people.
The average American TV viewer will
yearly witness hundreds or thousands of
vivid, full-color scenes of violence -rapes, beatings, murders -- all on the
home TV screen. Can it be that all of
this exposure has no harmful effects
whatever? No.
It does have harmful effects. In the
last 20 years there have been many
studies done about the effects of TV
violence on viewers. The studies differ
in scope, method, and findings, but the
best summary statement of all studies
to date is that there is a slight but
consistent relationship between sustained exposure to TV violence and
subsequent acts of aggression.
Cblldren who consistently view violence on TV are more likely to behave
aggressively than are children who
watch little or no violence. And this

statement holds true for average
cblldren from average home environments.
Those in the TV industry who strive to
minimize the impact of these findings
point out that almost all members of
western societies have been exposed to
tales, songs, and plays cont~ining
violence. Why, Shakespeare's plays
and the Bible contain violence, they say.
True, but what makes the TV
generation of American children different from any children of any society of
any time in history are the vividness and·
the amount of the depictions of violence
in their entertainment faire.
What, then, to do? Parents who've
tried to regulate the viewing habits of
their children soon find themselves in
an adversary relationship, which is an
unpleasant condition. Also, scenes of_
violence in TV programs frequently pop
up unexpectedly, making prior choice
an impractical means of avoiding
violence.
If in-the-home regulations doesn't
work, what about phoning the local TV
station?
That has not been very effective
either, because local stations frequently
pass the buck for programming decisions to the network. So, in the last
several years, more and more groups
are putting pressure on the TV
networks. Action for Children's Television (ACT) has been active for several
years, and recently the national PTA
has joined the crusade. And J. Walter
Thompson, the world's largest advertising agency, now encourages its clients
to avoid purchasing air time in violent
TV programs. The ranks and the power
of those concerned about TV violence
seem to be growing.
Mr. Rubin's argument for his client
was that the TV made him do it. The
jury did not find that to be a credible
argument, nor should it have. But if we

a used desk purchased from the university
last month.
Two weeks ago, the Stanford Daily

Diesel engines may sUISh 'pump' prices
by Sarah Jenkins
Are diesel-powered engines capable of
denting the monopoly of conventional
gasoline-powered engines in the American
car market? Not at all, say Ford Motor
Company and American Motors (AMC),
the only American car manufacturers not
offering the diesel in at least some of their
1978 model line-up. However, Volkswagen, Oldsmobile, GMC, and Chevrolet
have indicated a trend by offering the
diesel as ~n option in, respectively, the
1978 Rabbit and Dasher' Delta 98 and 88,
half-ton Si~rra pick-up, and half-ton
Cheyenne ~•ck-up.
The basic difference in the two types of
engines is their methods of fuel combus• tion. While gasoline explodes from the
spark of a spark plug, diesel fuel, a less refined petroleum product, burns under
pressure to provide the engine's power.
The major benefit of this difference is that
since diesel does not explode, it does not
emit hydrocarbons. Therefore, the EPA
Emission Control Standards, which are
based on the number of hydrocarbons
emitted, are not required on diesel engines
at this time.

The annual fuel costs are also reduced
because of the price of diesel. Locally,
regular grade gasoline sells for an average
of 56. 9c per gallon, while diesel fuel is only
49.9c. Some fuel supply experts, however,
predict increased demand could raise
diesel prices.
The standard maintenance costs are
lower, also, claims Volkswagen. As much
as 25% can be saved in normal procedures
such as oil changes (every 3,000 miles for a

'Animation festival'
a great eseape

by Michael Riley
The Fantastic Animation Festival, now
playing at the Valley River Twin Cinema,
can best be described as a collection of
escapism into the world of fantasy.
The festival consists of 16 animated
"shorts" selected from over 1,000 entries.
These include cartoon animation and clay
animation photography similar to that used
in the "Gumby" animated series.
Some of the more memorable moments
of the festival are:
"French Windows" by Ian Emes, a

The music, usually a noisy

distraction in displays like this one, only
added to its appeal.
"The Last Cartoon Man" by Derek
Lamb and Jeffery Hale offers a wonderful
performance of the song "Toreodor." It
also gives the viewer an insight as to what
happens when you lose your head over an
act.
"Moonshadow" by Cat Stevens is titled
as a true story. This particular entry was
written by the singer and songwriter and
involves the adventures of Teaser, a young
man, and the Firecat, a very intelligent
member of the feline family.

'S~nses' soeially relevant

by Jan· B·rown
"In the Realm of the Senses" a film by
Nagisa Oshima deals with Sada, a young
Japanese woman's-totally obsessive sexual
relationship with a man who submits to her
indulgent antics. The film reaches down to
the roots of man's fear of aloneness, the
feeling of being trapped inside one's body,
complicated by an inability to express the
most essential human emotions.
French film critics believe that "In the
Realm of the Senses" centers on "the relationship between desire and possession,
and the tendency to destroy the object of
desire in order to possess it more fully.''
Most of us at sometime in our lives are
confronted with the inevitable departure of
a lover. A thousand fantastic plots unfold
_in our heads in an attempt to hold on to that
person we think we cannot do without. The
agony of facing the world alone again can
provoke some pretty horrid visions.
If what constitutes a relationship is the

Oct. 13 - ~ . 1977

I was pleased to see an old favorite
receive honor in the festival. "Bambi
meets Godzilla" by Marv Newland is only
one and a half minutes long but it tells a
story that will leave you breathless.
The only person or group of people with
more than one entry was Oregon's own
Will Vinton. Vinton and his production
company prove they are the masters of clay
animation with "Mountain Music" and
"Oosed Mondays."
Other highlights of the festival include a
very old Superman cartoon directed by Dan
Gorn. The artwork for this was done in
part by Max Fleischer. Also noted in the
collection of animations were two commercials, one for Levi jeans and the other for
7-Up, the -soft drink .
"The Fantastic Animation Festival" is
good entertainment for those who don't
mind the splicing together of cartoons. (I
use the term cartoon for lack of anything
more precise.) The quality of the film at
the Valley River Theatre left something to
be desired but the projectionist managed to
start the film exactly on time. In this age of
apathy it must be commended.

Soccer team routs
three opponents to
remain undefeated
,,,

Tenacious defense and a high scoring
forward line combined to carry the men's
soccer team to three straight victories last
week.
Lane 6, Mt. Hood 2
Mt. Hood, fielding a soccer team for the
first time since the early 1970's, stayed
with the more experienced Titans throughout a hard fought first half, but two consecutive goals by forward Larry Sylwester in
the second half ballooned the hosts lead
from one goal to a 5-2 margin.
Sylwester combined with lightning quick

Henderson, generally playing the first
half while Fish takes over the Titan's net in
the last stanza, were never really pressed
by the opponents offense, thanks to a tight
defensive effort by the Titan defense.
After a scoreless first half battle; Carlos
Lopez scored his first goal of the season to
give the Titans a 1-0 lead. Dribbling
around a defender, Lopez let loose a
booming 25 yeard shot from the middle to
score.
Lopez, born in Bogota, Columbia, played
a key part in Lane's final score, taking the
ball away from the Mtn. Graphics goalie in
a scramble for a loose ball:. Lopex passed

forward George Trano to score the game's
first goal on the Titan's initial possession.
The combination worked once again
when Sylwester passed to an open Trana in
front of the net, and Trano moved the ball
laterally across the face of the goal through
heavy traffic to score on a close -in shot
that caromed off the goalie and the left
goalpost and into the net.
Following Mt. Hood's first score,
Sylwester kept intact the Titan's two goal
lead with a brilliant play. Pouncing on an
errant pass from a defenseman to the Mt~
Hood goalie, Sylwester booted in a shot to
pull the hosts to a 3-1 lead.
The Titans, leading by a slim 3-2 margin
at the half, ran roughshod over Mt. Hood
in the final half
This time it was Trano to Sylwester on
two superbly executed plays. Sylwester
streaked in from the left side to score
following a pass from Trano, and then a
floating corner kick by Trano was headed
into the opponents goal by Svlwester
"Defensively, we had quite a few
weaknesses," explained George Gyorgyfalvy, the men's soccer coach, "but with
four of our better players down with the flu
we were expecting some breakdowns.''
"Our forward line's passing game was
very precise and resulted in quite a few
goals, but we still have to continue working
on our defense,'' said Gyorgyfalvy.

season, a 2-0 whitewash of a highly touted

over to freshmen center-forward Scott
Carpenter on the right side and Carpenter
toed the ball in for a goal.
"It was a real surprise goal," said
Gyorgyfalvy. "This is Scott's first year of
competition in soccer -- he was a hurdler on
the track team in high school -- but he's a
good young player with potential."
Lane 8, Oregon _1_ _
"George Trano has been in a slump
lately,/' said George Gyorgyfalvy matterof-factly.
Trano, the Titan's high-scoring forward,
didn't start in Tuesday's game against
Oregon and was able to Sl'Ore only one goal
on a penalty shot when he finally did enter
the game.
Fortunately, nearly everyone else on the
team came through to score.
Scoring almost al will, they took a 4-1
lead into the half on goals by Mike
Weinstein, Abdul AI-Sudairi, Greg Brown,
and Trano.
In the second half. Carlos Lopez opened
things up with one of his patented 15 yeard
cannon shots from the middle.
Following Lopez's score, first Carpenter,
the ex-high school hurdler from Willamette, then Al-Sudairi, the other half of the
Titan's "foreign connection" (Abdul is
from Saudi Arabia), scored quick goals to
expand the Titan's lead to 7-2. Finally,
another score by Carpenter finished the
rout.
"I was surprised at Oregon's lack of
conditioning," exclaimed Gyorgyfalvey,
"and their teamwork was poorly coordinated."

The men's soccer team swept to three victories last week to remain undefeated.
The Titan kickers, currently 4-1-0 on the season, are battling for a berth

against Oregon State and Linfield College. Featuring a wide-open, high-scoring

The Titans claimed six of the top eight

Martin pulled away from the field in the

Bay meet.''

by John Healy

The women's cross country team opened
its first season of OCCAA competition on a
winning note last Saturday In Coos Bay,
scoring a perfect 15 points to walk away
with the team title.
Lane was the only school able to field a
full squad of five runners and were
automatically declared the meet' s winner
(thus explaining their perfect score),
defeating partial squads from LBCC,
SWOCC, Chemeketa, and Umpqua.
"We knew we had it won before we ran,
so we worked on grouping our runners
together,'' explained coach Bill Theriault.
Cheryl Hoff, in her first collegiate race,
finished sixth in 21 :34 to spark the distaff
Titans, while a wave of her teammates
followed Theriault' s strategy letter-perfect
to take the next five spots behind Hoff.
Debbie Oldham, seventh in 22:06, was
trailed by Vickie Graves (eighth) and Carol
Hart (ninth), a scant two seconds apart in
23:04 and 23:06, respectively. Sherree
Bird, tenth in 24:12, and Gloria Stanefer,
eleventh in a time of 24:48, rounded out the
top six.
''They felt a lot better before this meet,''
said Theriault, "and enjoyed it a · lot
October 15
more."
Many of the team's runners still aren't it:i
great shape yet, according to Theriault,
but even the additional week of training
after last weekend's meet (the Garrie
Franklin CC Classic) allowed many of the
women on the team to improve dramatically.
"Two of our runners have made the 40
mile club," said Theriault, referring to a October 16
system he has devised based on training

If you're really into labeling people you could call me a sports
fanatic ---Not one of those bloodshot, bleary-eyed creatures that sits in
front of a television set watching weekend after weekend of college
football, slugging down beer after monotonous beer, periodically
bellowing at the wife (or roommate) to run over to Mac's for a
''two beefpattiespecia lsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonases ame
seedbun'' burger.
Or, like a few of my more witty comrades here in the TORCH
office, you could look down your nose at me and call me "strap"
(short for j-strap).
Both terms are accurate.
That's why I took this time-consuming, nerve-deadening job as
sports editor. I love sports. I'm completely and totally captivated
by their beauty and balance, their fluid movements and the
bone-jarring competition they embody.
I've been fascinated by the world of sports since grade school: I
started by trading bubble gum cards of the top baseball players,
and in puberty was a mediocre letterman in high school. Athletics
have always been the ·mainstream of my life.
Now that I have a chance (my own sports page, praise the
Lord!), I'd like to pass on my enthusiasm to anyone of you
remotely interested in any sport.
Through this weekly column I would like to attempt to explore as
much of the sporting world that both you and I are interested in
here at Lane.
Star players. Outstanding coaches . Struggling freshmen
athletes.
•Why is soccer the world's number one sport but struggles to
achieve recognition in Eugene? Why?
•How is LCC's cross country program able to dominate other
Oregon community college cross country teams?
How?
In short, I'll report Lane Community College sports from a
different angle than you receive in daily media coverage .
The whole structure of a sports column, to my way of thinking,
should remain as unstructured and innovative as possible to give
you answers and insights.
Above all, I want to reflect the reader's interests whenever
possible.

probes this area would be made by a
Japanese director.
The Japanese have for centuries
enjoyed a more open sexual attitude
than the western world, and this
openness is depicted in several scenes
in Oshima's latest film. When servants
serve Sada and her lover, they view the
couple in a variety of sexual embraces;
and it is accepted by them until the
sexual antics of the couple become
perverted. Too perverted? Where is
the line drawn between the norm and
the pervert? The couple is allowed to
perform various sexual acts, but only so
many times, or only in certain places
before even the servants begin to think

the lovers are perverts and won't serve
them.
The word ''lovers'' is misleading.
Although the film is artistically photographed, and the subject is handled as
delicately and as artfully as a Japanese
flower arrangement, the subject of love
is never entered into. What we do see is
a bored man who succumbs to the
excitement he finds in the arms of Sada,
a very sick girl.
I do not recommend this film; I left
feeling disgusted.
But it can be
considered socially relevant and insightful, if one can get past the visual impact
of the explicit sex and violence.

TV vio"lenc e-------- -continued from page 3
reject that extreme overstatement, we
should still admit that TV is an
important, pervasive socializing agent
in our society. The average 18-year old
American today has spent more hours
watching television than he has spent in
12 years of pubJic school. As a society,
we pay a_great deal of attention to the
effects ot our school systems. Jt is time
we paid more attention to the effects of
television.
TV has been in this country for over
25 years, and more and more people are

becoming disenchanted with its effects
on us, as the verbal abilities of our
young people decline. as as levels of
aggression rise.
What was once thought to l>e
America's free baby sitter may cost us
more than we are willing to pay. As
more and more people become concerned about violence on TV, it seems that
some changes must come, some controls must be exercised.
The major question now seems to be
whether those controls will come from
inside or outside the TV industry.

ERIC CJAPTON: At His Best. Polydor
cutout; two -record set; about $3.
Available at JC Penney record department and (maybe) other stores. A well
balanced, if not entirely indispensible,
collection of Clapton's work with
Delaney and ' Bonnie, Derek and the
Dominoes, Blind Faith and his first two
solo albums. It's not as definitive a
collection as Atco's "History of Eric
Clapton,'' as there is nothing included
from his work with Cream (that's in
another collection)' the Yardbirds
(wrong label) or John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. So, the title "At His Best"

isn't really honest. But since when
were record companies scrupulously
honest? Seventy-five points.

THREE DOG NIGHT:
Naturally.
ABC/Dunhill cutout; about $2. Available almost anywhere. Probably their
best album, made when they still had
some rock in their pop. I can still
remember a concert here at LCC back in
1968. Steppenwolf was the headline
act, since at the time they had a #1 hit
single and a lot of hype as a Punk Band.
Three Dog Night was the opening act.
They blew Steppenwolf off the stage.
Eighty points.
