Willamette Writers Guild

raises
literary awareness
by Michael Riley
Just what is the Willamette Writers'
Guild?
Joyce Salisbury, LCC Language Arts
instructor and Guild representative, smiles
when she responds to this oft-asked
question, "It's a consortium of seven
colleges pooling their resources and
energies to bring literature, writing and
literary arts oriented programs to this end
of the valley."
The WWG was formed in 1976 by
writing instructors from the University of
Oregon, Oregon State University, LinnBenton Community College, Willamette
University, Chemeketa and Lane Community College. The Oregon College of
Education representative joined the Guild
this fall.
•
According to Salisbury, the WWG will
try to ''pool'' visiting writers in order to
allow more students to see members of the
literary world. This was proven as a
popular idea last February when the
Willamette Writers' Conference (now the
Willamette Writers' Guild) gave a three
day colloquium on writing and publishing.
The Guild looked at the colloquium as a
success with over 3,000 people attending
the workshops.
The biggest concern , says Salisbury, is
to avoid the competition colleges have
when it comes to inviting speakers.
.Through the WWG , a speaker could be
scheduled for more than one college, thus
giving more people a chance to hear the
guest.

Allyn said the Board rejection angered
union membership. The union members
may no longer accept terms comparable to
those recommended in the Fact-Finder's
report, according to Allyn .
Fact-Finder William Hammond recommended that -the employees' insurance not
be increased to cover other health needs
and dependents, as the LCCEF wanted. He
noted that the increased insurance coverage offsets increases in salary, and that in
his assessment, the union favored increases in salary over increases in insurance.
"If this assessment is wrong," he
recommended that ''the funds necessary to
fund a 'composite' medical/hospital program including dependents, be deducted
from my salary recommendations."
Hammond accepted the Board's proposal to limit the number of yearly step
increases to five. He advocated that a
'longevity step' be rewarded after three
years at step five to commend employee
loyalty.
Noting that "as a whole" LCC classified

Hammond argued that increased compensation should be commensurate with the

'High point of the day'

.Mycology class finds mysterious mushroom
by Ed Evans
Freeman Rowe leaned over a student's
shoulder and asked him to identify the
,pecies of fungi the student was examining.
The student hesitated for a moment.

Then answered decisively, "It's a Mushroom."
Although not exactly the answer Rowe
was looking for, it did make perfect sense
to me. My idea of a mushroom class was a
group of people getting credit for going out
into a field and picking mushrooms until

preparation of tasty salads. [photo by Keith Young]

their baskets were full.

"It's true. When I told people that I was
taking a mushroom class they said, 'Oh,
really?' So now I tell people that I'm taking
a course in Mycology and they say, 'Oh,
really! What's that?'" explained the
student Carol Freeman.
But Rowe's mushroom class is not so easy
as gathering baskets of edible mushrooms
as I found out on one of his many field
trips. For their final exam, students in the
class must identify over 100 different
species of dried mushrooms by their Latin
names.
"Dried mushrooms are much harder to
identify because opce they dry they all look
about the same and you really have to look
hard for the characteristics that make them
different,'' student Matt Shelley informed
me .
Names like "Lactariul Deliciosus" and
" Russula Brecuipes" doesn't make that
• task any easier.
"At first l couldn't keep the names
straight,'' confided Ed Madore. '' But after
using them so often , I can remember
them. " Some of the names are so exotic
that Freeman told me people no longer
accuse her of swearing, ' 'They just think
l'm naming some new kind of mushroom."
This particular trip was going to Fern
Ridge, but on the way there, Madore
related a story of one trip to the coast: "I
remember we were going down this old
logging road. Freeman Rowe was in the
lead and had told us all to stay in one group
so no one would get lost. I stayed in the
back and kept dashing off to the side
whenever I saw a mushroom. Then
Freeman called us all together at the top of
a little hill and said, 'I want you all to see

this.' Below us was an entire field of
Chandels. We spent about a minute just
staring, and then Freeman said, 'Go to it!'
and we rushed down and started picking.

The city looks different from a police car.
Night has fallen and around the corner of
Mac Court come the lights and body of a
Eugene police car, rolling to a stop.
Patrolman Jerry Green puts the car in
park, opens his door and welcomes me with
a friendly smile and a "Good evening!"
After transferring his brief case to the back
seat -- which stays separate from the rest of
the car by a narrow bullet-proof glass
window and metal plates securing the
corners -- he slides under the controls. We
exchange social pleasantries.

Memorand a

To the Editor:

I wish to thank you for the super article
that Michael Riley did in the TORCH about
the Haunted House. I thought it captured
both the flavor of the house, as well as his
individual feelings and gave the reader a
true picture of what an experience in the
haunted house might be like.
We were able to put over 6,197 people
through the house and donate to the Boys
and Girls Aid Society $7,250.
We are entirely dependent upon community support for our project and it is
individual efforts like his that have helped

support the project for ·the last 16 years.
We are very proud of this project and
equally proud that we can work with
individuals like Riley in this worthwhile
endeavor.
Again, thank you very much and have a
pleasant new year.

Sincerely yours,
Glen R. Brigham, Vice President
Cedar Branch Auxiliary
Boys and Girls Aid Society of Oregon

Gl's dropping classes
may be penalized

The head of the Veterans Administration
today cautioned GI Bill students to look
before they leap if they're considering
dropping courses or seeking non-punitive
grades for them.
VA Administrator Max Cleland said that
in certain circumstances the law now
requires the agency to retroactively cancel
assistance payments for courses dropped
without a grade after a reasonable
drop-add period.
This applies also in cases where a course
.,,,1g1a.- d is. in
is completed but tli
effect, ignored by the school for graduation
requirements -- a so-called "non-punitiv e"
grade.
"In other words." Cleland said, "veterans dropping courses in such circumstances. or receiving a non-punitive grade
could wind up in debt to the federal
government."
He pointed out. however, that VA will
not retroactively collect payments already
made when the situation is due to
circumstances beyond the student's control.
The law. which went into effect last
December. prohibits VA payment of
educational benefits for any part of a
course that is not used in computing
graduation requirements .
Cleland explained this could mean that
many students will find themselves
overpaid under the GI Bill for courses from
which they withdraw and for courses in
which the assigned grade does not count
toward graduation.
Payments for such courses, he said,
must be stopped as of the first day of a
•
school term.
For example, if a student withdraws
from a course on December 1, 1977, under
the conditions outlined, VA payments for
that course will be terminated retroactively
to the beginning of the school term unless
mitigating circumstances are shown.
"The safest course," Cleland said, "is
not to drop a course or request a
'non-punitive' grade until you contact the
school's veterans' affairs office and find
out what effect the withdrawal or grade
may have on your monthly VA check."

(CPS) -- The textbook is no longer the
'publish or perish' affair of college
professors alone. Publishing companies
are entering into major collaborative
arrangements with authors and in at least
one case, have virtually written the texts
completely through market research.
In 1969, the publishers of "Psychology
Today" brought out a new college-level
textbook, "Psychology Today, An Introduction.'' The first edition sold about
180,000 copies, a marked success since the
cutoff for textbook bestseller status is
20,000. But the unusual circumstance
surrounding the new text was that it was
put out by a market research corporation,
CRM Books, and was essentially written
inside the publishing house itself by a
··book-team" of writers, market researchers and graphic designers. There was no
author listed anywhere.

A mutual effort among approximately

according to journalism instructor, Pete
Peterson.
''This TORCH supplement will be the
best medium to reach prospective students
in the county -- for the money. The TORCH
ad staff will be putting it on every
windshield of every car on campus
(weather permitting). It will be in 5,000
copies of today's TORCH, and it will be
available at the LCC Downtown Center. It
will be on cafeteria tables, and will be
distributed during registration," said
Peterson.
Peterson says its success will be due to
the TORCH' s unique ability to reach
students on this campus. "It's not
intended for distribution in . the community" he says. "That's expensive," he
admits.
According to Community Relations
Director, Larry Romine, "There is no
budget for advertising new classes to the
county at this time.''
Social Science Department Chairman
Paul Malm said a new evening course,
"The Panorama of Lane Coµnty," was
cancelled Fall Term due to •insufficient
enrollment.
•'The Panorama course was mentioned
on KUGN and KPNW radio stations, and
was featured on the television evening
news." He also said the department placed
a large ad in the first TORCH of _the year.

ment was involved in producing the PSA.
He said, "We can reach a wider range of
prospective students through the local TV
stations.
"Television is probably the most glamorous marketing technique, but other
methods, such as word of mouth and newspaper, are also effective marketing de•
vices."
The Math Uepartment was busy ''mark-.
eting'' its courses Fall Term by using a CB
radio and selling tee-shirts.
According to Peterson, ''There are
several department chairpersons and instructors on campus who already have
good ideas for 'marketing' classes. There
are others who are starting to realize that
they must give out more information to
students than is already available in class
schedules printed in the Register-Guard.
"Marketing" classes, Peterson added,
could get out of hand. "You might see
cut-throat competition if departments
over-react for the enrollment numbers. But
the college isn't advocating that. Instead,
departments are promoting classes that

students or t hat have been underenrolled

also learn ~ t balloons, balloon piloting,

pass •the balloon pilot written test.·
Interested in getting into a new, relatively
safe sport? ''The FAA considers balloon
flying the safest form of flying,•• states
John Canfield, instructor of the class.
"Maybe that's just because there's been
so few balloons. But no form of flying is as
dangerous as driving.''

FOLKLORE IS .. .graffiti, dirty jokes, people slandering other rices, or making •
silly and wrong predictions about who's going to marry whom. But ii is also people
telling their children how the world began, taking care of each other's illnesses
without the help of doctors, making some of the world's finest music, and preserving a sense of group pride with stories of the old days.
The study of folklore puts us in touch with the traditions that see a group of people through lougti times-the jokes, the. stories, the music. tolldore teaches many
still-viable traditional survival skills: modern medicine now acknowledges the
validity of many folk medications. And ·as for practical psychology, folk communities must have written the book.
Or rather, did nol write a book. That's just the point. Folklore does not live in
books. It survives in the memories of grandmothers, neighbors, school kids. or
anyone else you care to name, among Black, Scandanavjan, Jewish, Asian, Anglo,
Chicano, Native American people, or any other ethnic group you can think of.
In studying folklore we listen to the voices of people speaking for themselves.
Not just to researchers or poll-takers. Not to copyrighted authors whose works are
preserved on library shelves. Not to historians whose concern with a nation's affairs leaves them little time to hear an individual's story. In studying folklore we
hear a Sioux lndian recall the Battle of the Little Bighorn; the grandaughter of a
slave tell the story of her grandfather's escape.
Folklore lets us look al our own traditional life, and al the traditions of people .
very different from ourselves. What the class studies, then, depends a lot on who's
in it. We see people, groups, the trends and movements of our ethnically diverse
society from the inside, rather than from the standpoint of the objective oulsirler,
the scholar. Thinking folklorically supplements the kind of thinking we do in many
humanities and social science classes. It's all part of a balanced education.

by a group of women in the Voe-Tech

Jan Brandstrum, LCC counselor, told the

by Mark Wright
Students anticipating enrollment in the ·
Medical Office Assistant Program next fall should bear in mind that only 30 students
are accepte4 into the program each year,
according to Eileen ·Massey, coordinator
for the program.
Applications will be accepted after Jan. 8_
for next Fall's enrollment.
Mas~ey says the program is limited to 30
students because that's what the job
•market dictates and LCC doesn't have the
facilities to handle mote than that. But so
• far, no student has be~n deprived of
admission into the program.
Massey reminds prospective students
that fall term is the only term they may
formally begin the concentrated one-year
program. Credit received for classes prior
to beginning the program, however, will be
accepted providing the classes taken were
required for the major. In other words, it's
possible. to get a head start on a few
classes. Among (he classes students will be-taking is supervised field experience,
which is required spring .term but not fall
and winter terms.

(CPS) -- The scen.ario: A darkened campus except for the sporadic office lights of
this or that professor logging overtime
helping students with their scholarly pursuits. They've just exhausted the literary
implications of Melville, or perhaps the
funeral practices of Bantu. Papers are
shuffled, throats are cleared, books closed
and the professor swivels around to face
the answer to his/her proposition. It is, in
the phrase of the Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville Alestle, another case
of "sex for grades."
Although no formal grievance has ever
been filed by an SIUE student, Vice President C. 'Scully' Stikes considers sex in
academia a commonplace occurrence. "I
suspect it's like the iceberg phenomena,"
he said, "only the tip is showing."
Professors engaging in such activity
could incur dismissal under the sexual
misconduct and moral turpitude provisions
of the school statutes.
Earl Lazerson, provost at SIUE, feels
that students are wary of engaging in formal grievance procedures because "there
is a possibility of harassment.'' Philosophy
professor Sheila Ruth attributes it to fear.
"It's almost impossible to get a conviction
on rape or sexual abuse," she said. Ruth
drew an analogy between the university
and industry, where women have to. ''put
out to improve their position."
Given the sensitivity and subtlety of the
subject, SIUE officials expect the problem
to remain at the level of rumor. Students
will undoubtedly continue, in the words of
professor Ruth, to offer faculty "a piece for
a grade."

Dave Dunaway emphasized the notes he
plucked on his acoustical bass by wagging
his head -- an_ expression of traditional
jazzmanship.
In contrast, the keyboard player maintained a reserved expression, and an
organic looking George Marsh, with his
hair and beard flowing, tapped out an
unusual rhythm on steel drums. The first
number they played for the evening was an
erratic, jolting piece, that softened when
group leader Mel Martin picked up his
saxophone and hesitantly horned in.
''Listen'' the original exponents of a new
kind of" Jazz" entertained in the lounge of
the Eugene Hotel for five nights last week.
The group hails from San Francisco, and
brought to Eugene an assortment of
musical elements - Jazz and Latin rhythms
primarily which they have molded into a
different but complete sound.
Mel Martin who has played with Boz
Scaggs, Santana, Cold Blood and Azteca
among others, sounds as if he was more
influenced by jazz musician Charles Lloyd.
Martin is a multi-reed player and during
the course of one tune played five different
•
instruments.
If I had not seen him it would have been
fine, but it was distracting to watch him
change from •piccolo to flute, to soprano
sax, tenor sax, and then to an array of Latin
sounding percussion instruments. I expected him to play while standing on his head
to further demonstrate his ·varied talent
and dexterity. These distractions made the
!11Usic secondary.
"Listen" ended the first set with a tune

called "Romance" which they have
recorded for the sound track of a film about
Bay Area artist Jesse Allen. Martin started
the soft sweet tune on a silver flute. A few
notes into it, he stopped abruptly, as if he
had forgotten what came next. But then
resumed the melody. ''Romance'' featured
Larry Dunlap on the piano and striking
notes of nostalgia, sounded like background stuff for a Frank Sinatra late fifties
album, "Only the Lonely."
The lounge was full and the crowd was a
little noisy. I was seated near the stage, so
the noise wasn't a distraction. A man

seated at an adjoining table handed me an
album that was being passed around the
lounge. It was "Listen's" recent release
on Inner City. Some of the pieces included
on the album had titles as unusual as the
music itself. "Oral Hallucination" and "A
Tribute to Clark Kent, Part I Kripton" are
two of the album's offerings. Martin and
Marsh collaborate as composers of the
music they play.
After looking at the album cover I would
rather have listened to the record then
watch "Listen" live, all distractions
considered.

Earaudica returns this week with a new look and format. No more cheapo record
reviews, due to lack of general availability and interest. From now on I'll deal with
only important new releases, plus general items of interest on music and
reproduction (sound, that is).
BLUE OYSTER CULT: Spectres [Columbia]
DAVID BOWIE: "Heroes" [RCA]
Here we are faced with new releases by two groups that are moving in radically
different directions. Blue Oyster Cult, who "went commercial" with great success
on their last record, offers more of the same on Specttes, while Bowie continues on
his merry experimental way with an album that's sort of, uh, difficult to ''get into.''
Blue Oyster Cult's sixth offering, Spectres, is arguably their best album yet.
Opening with ''Godzilla,'' an ode to that Japanese paragon of virtue complete with
sound effects and air-raid sirens, the disc progresses with typical (for the Cult) tales
of S~~• d<>?m and des~ction. Fortunately, the lyrics don't get in the way of the
mus1c1ansh1p; the Cult ts the only group I know of that never includes its lyrics with
the album (in fact, they're available by mail order for SO cents which must be a
marketing first). Though it lacks the sheer power of their live ;how, the album is
definitely "heavy" (as opposed to "loud" and "obnoxious"). The Cult is a thinking
adolescent's rock band, and as such is probably one of the five best American
groups today.
Bowie, on the other hand, could be called the Miles Davis of rock -- alw7
experimental, always ahead of his time. Lately he's been working with Britt~h
synthesizer wizard Brian Eno, and the results are definitelv . . . interesting.
"Heroes" is an extension of Bowie's last album "Low;" like that album, it
contains an upbeat vocal side and a moody, introspective instrumental side.
Unfortunately, Bowie's production values have taken a tum for the worse. Side
one in particular, is very poorly mixed, sounding like it was run through an
Osterizer, with Bowie.'s strained and filtered vocals buried in a blur of guitars and
synthesizer noodlings. Lyrically, too, Bowie sounds confused. Lines like "I'm under
Japanese influence/and my. honor's at stake" are not what I'd call examples of
stellar songwriting. There's nothing here to match the brilliance of "Station to
Station" or the high points of "Low" (no pun intended).
As for Eno -- well, he tries to fight his way through Bowie's pretensions, and his
electrosonic backgrounds on ''Secret Life of Arabia'' and ''Beauty and the Beast''
save those cuts from oblivion. "Moss Garden," a Bowie-Eno collaboration, and
Bowie's "Sense of Doubt" are fascinating sonic landscapes reminiscent of . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _ _ _ J
Eno's best solo work, but "Neukoln" is

'The Runner Stumbles' gives insight but no answers

Review by Sally Oljar

At the beginning of this century a nun
was murdered in the Michigan peninsula
town of Solon. The parish priest, rumored
to be her lover, was accused of the crime.
Playwright Milan Stitt has taken a true
story and woven an intense, compelling
'drama around it in his play ''The Runner
Stumbles.''
Although the play has been described as
a "whodunit" the essence of "The Runner
Stumbles" is the personal conflict of the
two main characters, Father Rivard and
Sister Rita. The war in the souls of these

Church and humanity.
Director Stan Elberson has concentrated
on dialogue. Indeed, that is the core of
play. The sets are sparsely furnished and
very plain -- it is the lighting, soft and low,
that emphasizes the interplay between
Rivard and Rita.
"The Runner Stumbles" is an intimate
play. The audience, in order to understand
the dramatic conflict, must be able to see
the expressions on the actors' faces. For
this reason the theatre is too large for the
production. The play is more suited for

"The Runner Stumbles" gives a "broad
treatment of religion" says director Stan
Elberson. The last two performances will
be on Nov. 18 and 19 at 8 p.m.

LCC theatre production reaches
into community to fill lead roles
by Kristel Best
To fill the lead roles in the LCC
production of ''The Runner Stumbles,''
Director Stan Elberson has reached
beyond Lane Community College to the
1::ommunity at large.
Citing production costs and the need
to attract an audience as his reasons for
not casting a strictly student show,
Elberson has chosen Aseneth Jurgenson of Eugene to portray Sister Rita,
and Partrick Baker, a new Eugenian, to
be Father Rivard in this play by Milan
Stitt.
Jurgenson, a former University of
Oregon drama student, has appeared in
several productions on area stages.
Among her credits are roles in the
Summer Carnival Theatre presentation
of "Beauty and the Beast," LCC's "The
Lady's Not for Burning," last spring
and "A Thousand Clowns," produced
by the Oregon Repertory Theatre.
It was J tJ.rgenson 's ability to identify
strongly with the role of Sister Rita
which helped in her decision to take the
part, even though she had never heard
of the play "The Runner Stumbles"
before. "Being raised in a family with

strict standards and religious codes,''
said Jurgenson, "I felt close to the
nun."
Jurgenson plans to return to the
University of Oregon to attend drama
classes, and to travel to the Royal
Academy in London through an advanced U of O class.
Baker, who arrived in Eugene last
May from Des Plaines~ Illinois, had
never acted in a dramatic role prior to
"The Runner Stumbles." He has,
however, appeared in the comedies
'' Barefoot in the Park,'' '' See How They
Run," and a Community Theatre
production of "Silver Whistle," all in
Des Plaines.
When he first read the script for "The
Runner Stumbles," "I didn't like it,"
said Baker. However, after Elberson
explained what he wanted to do with the
play, Baker thought it sounded good
and took the part. ''I love the play
now," he says assuringly.
Baker is beginning to take acting
more seriously now, and has decided to
stay with it for a while. He is hoping to
attend drama classes at LCC this
winter.

Titan harriers settle for 14th place at nationals
Story and photos by John Healy
The men's cross country team, OCCAA
and Region 18 champions, finished 14th
with 361 points Saturday at the National
Junior Collegiate Athletic Assn. (NJCAA)
cross country championships, held near
Tucson, Arizona.
Defending national champion Allegheny
CC (Pa.) cruised to its second consecutive
NJCAA title at the Green Valley golf
course, 26 miles south of Tucson.
Grabbing the top three individual spots
over the five mile course and scoring a low
of 21 points, Allegheny's foreign dominated team easily held off second place
Southwestern Michigan (71 points).
The Titans, ranked third in the nation
before the nationals, watched their slim
hopes of upsetting top-ranked Allegheny
evaporate when LCC's Ken Martin (OCCAA and Region 18 titleholder) was slowed
to a walk at three miles by severe sidepains

A field of 211 runners were entered

ships last Saturday.

efforts of sophomore Mick Balius provided
•
some consolation for the Titans.
Magness, LCC's number two man
behind Martin for most of the season,
finished 43rd in 25:21 to lead the Titans,
who failed to place a runner in the top 25
(All-American status) for the first time in
eight years.
Frosh Lynn Mayo clocked 25:40 to take
62nd, and Balius was right behind him in
64th with a time 25:41.
"Our two freshmen did an outstanding
job," said Tarpenning, referring to Mayo
and Magness. ''They carried the ball
today."
Balius, generally the Titans' sixth man
(non-scoring in cross country), rarr exceptionally well, in Tarpenning's estimation.
'' Mick ran as well as I ever expected him
to run.''
Rounding out the Titans' squad were

in"tiie Natl~ ·"

and finished 108th in a field of 211 runners.
Martin, running with the leaders in
eighth place when felled by sidepains, was
bewildered by the suddenness of the
cramping in his side.
''It just came on. I felt like I just couldn't
go anymore.''
Martin's cramping, combined with AllAmerican Rich Harter' s problems with the
80 degree heat and swirling dust (he
finished 169th), dropped Lane to its lowest
finish at the national meet in school
history.
"When that sidepain hit Ken we
dropped down about 100 points," explained Coach AI Tarpenning.
"We could easily have taken fourth
place."
Outstanding performances by freshmen
Dave Magness and Lynn Mayo and the

Jerry Hammitt, 162nd in 27:02, and Bruce
Arnold, who dropped out after two miles
from asthma problems.
'' Arnold was up near the front at a half
mile,'' said Tarpenning, ''but when he got
into that dust at the mile mark, he couldn't
breathe."
Any chance of the Titans' challenging for
a finish even in the top five faded when
Martin was felled by that _sidepain.
'' If I had run like I should have, I would
have been up there with the top two guys,''
said Martin, speaking of Allegheny's front
running foreigners.
However, LCC's hopes of placing in the
top five in team competition looked
good at two and a half miles, even though
Harter was already far back in the pack and
Arnold had dropped out early in the race
when he began to have difficulty breath-

ing.
Still, the presence of Martin in the lead
pack, Magness in 30th place and Mayo and
Balius in the top 60 kept the Titans' thin
chances of a high finish from breaking
completely.
Disaster struck at three miles.
. Martin, one of three runners from LCC

Finally Harter, 21st in last year's
nationals, began to tie-up from fatigue.
'' Rich was the last LCC runner at the one
mile point-- he was plain exhausted,'' said
the Titans' coach.
Fortunately, Mayo was running exactly
as Tarpenning had planned before the
meet, and Balius was running the race of

that Tarpenning labeled "potential" All- his life.
Staying together for most of the race, the
Americans before the meet (Magness and
Harter being the other two), suddenly two Lane runners put on good finishing
stopped and began walking, then finally kicks in the last few hundred yards to pass
began running again after over a hundred a good half dozen runners.
On the other hand, Magness, obviously
runners had passed him.
"Ken continued on sheer guts," said fatigued by the 80 degree heat, couldn't
Tarpenning. "There was nothing we could muster a kick the last hundred yards.
Said Magness, "I started kicking in the
do about it.'•
Magness, hurting from too quick of a last half mile, but with about a 440 left it
start, began to fall back place by place. just hit me again.''
Said Tarpenning, in retrospect, ''They

would be in trouble," remembered Mag- performed as well as they could.
"We just didn't express our potential

by I;>ebbie Cornwell

The women's volleyball team defeated
Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT),
15-10, 15-11 and lost to Willamette
University, Mt. Hood CC and Lewis and
Oark CC Saturday morning in a Gass B
Collegiate Tournament here at LCC.
The tournament closed up the season for
the Titans who wound up with a 5-15
record.
"I think that we did accompllsh our
goals. We let It be known that LCC will
have a volleyball team from now on," said
Coach Marci Wooclraff.

"All the players were walk-ons, we had
no recruits. therefore, we tried to do the

best with what we had to work with. Next
year we're hoping to see five out of the
eight women on the team return. Those
Gale Hammack, Debbie
players are:
Rogers, Kelly Smith, Cindy Harding and
Michelle Mattson. With that core of
returners, we should have a _good team
next year."
"Most outstanding player for the season
was Gale Hammack, most improved player
was setter Lori Hilton, ·who came off the
bench after Kelly Smith wa~ injured and
filled in quite well." Coach Woodruff also
added that, ''I thought the whole team did
a terrific job and hope for a good season
nt:xt year."

Kickers downed in OISA playoffs
by Steve Myers
The men's soccer team suffered its
third loss of the season to the University of Portland (UP) 2-1 in the semifinals of the OISA championships
held in Portland last Saturday.
'' With a few more lucky breaks we
coach George Gyorgyfalvy, "We
missed some shots on goal by only a
few inches. They deserved the
victory. They shot better than us."
They shot better than us."
Jim Tursi of UP scored the game's
first goal with only five minutes gone
in the first half. UP then used a stiff,
defense to hold down the high scoring Titan offense.
•'They used pressure tactics after
the first goal,'' explained Gyorgyfalvy. "It's·like a fu11-court press in
basketball. They guard you everywhere on the field. That makes it
very hard to pass. We were also up
~gainst a furious headwind.''
According to Gyorgyfalvy his team
played super defense to hold the
Portland team to only_one first-half
goal.
"We are a better defensive team
than offensive. We are good offensively but better defensively.''
Lane held UP scoreless for the first
29 minutes of the 45 minute secondhalf. An unidentified Lane player
then commited a foul and UP
received a penalty kick at Lane's
goal.
"Martin Loftus. a Britainer on the
University of Portland team, made a
very good kick." said Gyorgyfalvy.
Lane's Tony Roberts then booted a
Randy Bryant pass into the net with
30 minutes gone in the half to make
the score 2-1. George Trano almos~
tied the score with a few minutes
remaining in the half.
Lane had a total of eight shots on
goal for the game, while Portland
took 24. Gyorgyfalvy feels that his
team didn't perform as· well due to
UP's tough defense but he makes no
excuses.
''They had more speed and were
more aggressive than us." he said,
''but we did have a more teamoriented club."
The loss knocks Lane out of the
championship bracket of the competition and into the consolation
bracket. The Titans will face the
Oregon College of Education (OCE)
for third or fourth place in the season's finale today at 2 p.m. Lane lost
to OCE earlier in the season 1-0.
