'Claim adjusters
may find job
field wide open
by Alice Griffith
"We are the only school that turns out
insurance adjusters in two years," says
Jim Piercey, LCC associate dean of
instruction.
Piercey believes that students who are
searching for career possibilities might
want to look into the Insurance
Adjusters program. "I don't know why
more students aren't in it,'' says
Piercey. He reports that Howard Dull,
the LCC Mechanics Department head,
recently met with the American Association of Insurance Adjusters in
California, and learned that the group
could take 400 graduates from the LCC
Insurance Adjusters program right now
at a salary of $18-20,000 per year.
Lane started it's unique program six
years ago thinking, as many people still
do, that insurance adjusting was mostly
the '' auto mechanics bit,'' claims
Piercey. "We started out by giving the
students a whole year of body and
fender (training) to learn how to pound
out a fender. We found out that wasn't
necessary. They don't need to know
how to pound out a fender-- they need to
know how much it would cost."
Expanding on the idea, Piercey
\,,Ap!aiu;:. that ff cl hcu:;e and gar:igc
(with the car in it) were damaged in a
fire, an insurance adjuster would have
to know about the value of garments,
draperies, furniture, carpeting and
many other household items-- not just
the car. Adjusters also deal with other
areas such as theft of jewelry and car
accident damage.

,.,.

For this reason, Piercey believes
women students may be interested to
know that ··the Insurance Adjusters
program is looking 'for women. "I can
really get them good jobs," says
Piercey. He explains that many women
come into the classes already equiped
with a good understanding of the
commerical value of household goods
from prior purchasing experience.

Faculty rejects Fact-Finder's Report
Siate conciliator begins mediation sessions between faculty, college

by Gary Vargas and Paul Yarnold
-

Next week, the Lane Community
College Education Association (LCCEA)
and the college will attempt to break the
current deadlock in negotiations with
the help of a "mediator" provided by
the Oregon Conciliation Service. The
mediator's job will be to ''shuttle back
and forth between parties'' to develop
the common ground that may finally
yield a compromise acceptable to both
faculty and administration, according to
Joe Kremmers, President of the LCCEA.
LCC Faculty members voted 157 to 45
before Christmas break to reject the
recommendations of an impartial FactFinder's Report on the deadlocked
contract negotiations with t~e college.
The faculty and college are still
operating on last year's contract-- and
last year's salary scales. And salary,

along with insurance benefits,. was at
the heart of the vote of rejection,
according to Kremers.
By law the faculty could only vote to
accept or reject the report in its entirety,
not parts of it. And Kremers says there
are parts of the report which the faculty
accepts, and because of some of the
findings both sides may be no closer to
an agreement.
Oregon labor law requires 30 days
from the public release of the report
befo~ a vote to strike is legal, but
Kremers declined to discuss strike
possibilities. Instead, he emphasized

the mediation sessions now scheduled

for next Monday or Tuesday. "We will
be back to the table in the near futme
with a proposal that will satisfy both
groups," he mamtained.
Kremers said that the faculty objected
to the fact-finder's report primarily
because of its proposed means of

determining a salary increase for the
second year of a proposed two-year
contract. The salary recommendation
for the first year was acceptable to the
faculty, he believes.
The LCCEA had proposed to the
fact-finder a 9.2 per cent across-theboard increase in salaries for the faculty
for the first year. The college made no
proposals on salary increases to the
fact-finder.
Fact-Finder Ross Runkell, a law
professor from Willamette University,
proposed salary increases for the first
year be set at 7.8 per cent, to bring
faculty pay in line with other community
colleges in the state, and a second year
increase based on the percentage of
change of the Portland Consumer Price
Index (CPI) from January 1977 to
January 1978. But he would subtract
from that figure the faculty's insurance
premium increases and any salary step

(experience) increases which might be
awarded to faculty members automatically from one year to the next.
The LCCEA maintains that pay raises
based on the length of a teacher's
service should not be subtracted from
the second year increases.
Kremers argues that these subtractions would, in effect, reduce the second
year pay increase ''significantly.''
When pressed for a general estimate of
the net pay increase which a faculty
member might expect in the second
year of the contract (as proposed by
Runkell) Kremers told the TORCH that
salary increases could drop down to 3.5
or four per cent-- but he stressed that it
is impossible to project accurately what
the CPI figure would be. He said a net
salary increase of 3.5 or four per cent
''would once again put us behind in the
battle against inflationary erosion of our
pay."

.· Two sides square-off on 'Gay Rights' Amendment

by Alice Griffith

.
ment" is the common term given to a
city ordinance which was passed by the
Eugene City Council on Nov. 28, 1977.
This ordinance amends Sections 4.615,
4.620, 4.630, 4.635, and ~-6~5 of t~e
Eugene Code, to make 1t illegal tn
huge~e to ·discriminate in _employment,
ho~ stn ~ and ac~omo~ations, on the
basts of sexual orientation.

Opponents to the ''Gay Rights''
Amendment to the Eugene City Code
filed petitions Dec. 7 to place the
measure on a referendum ballot. And
after validating the legal minimum of
10,000 signatures, the Eugene City
Clerk~s office affirmed the issue will be
- on the May ballot.
Pros and cons of the amendment were
discussed in two separate sessions on
Dec. 7 and 8 at LCC. Larry Monical, a
proponent of the amendment and a
member of the Eugene Gay Rights
Alliance, was interviewed in the first
session by Pete Peterson, LCC journalism instructor, and by Larry Madger
and Connie Johnson, LCC newswriting
students.

Gieber states, "Ministers change them,
psychologists change them, doctors
change them. There are people changing them all the time. They (homosexuals) felt troubled about their condition
and changed themselves. It (homosexuality) is a learned experience.''

Maureen Gieber, an opponent of the
amendment and member of Volunteers
Organized and Involved in Common
Enactments (VOICE), one of the
sponsors of the anti-amendment petition drive, was the guest in the second
session. She was interviewed by
Peterson, Magder and Peter Holley,
also an LCC newswriting student.

The Gay Rights issue is mainly
concerned with whether or not sexual .
orientation should be a guaranteed
right.
Some of the topics discussed during
the two sessions were:
• Causes of homosexuality
• Normalcy of homosexuality
• Legislation of Gay Rights
• Education and Gay Rights
• Employment and Gay Rights
According to Gieber, homosexuality is
a condition which can be changed.

~t ,
t '.

But Monica} believes the condition of
homosexuality is irreversible and cannot be changed; that sexual orientation
is established in the first three to four
years of life. He agrees that many
people have sought to change their
homosexuality, but he attributes their
desire to change to society's attitudes.
He says that professionals ''have never
once changed anybody.''
Monica) also states, ''The Kinsey
Institute has something like a $10,000
reward for any psychiatrist, any psycho-therapist, any psychologist who can
come in with his patient and prove that
he's been changed. That thing, (re-·
ward) has been lying there unclaimed
for about 25 years."
Monica! believes homosexuality is as
normal as heterosexuality. "It (homosexuality) is normal in that it
occurs,'' says Monical. He compares it
to sunshine in Oregon. "It (sunshine)
occurs, but it's not normal, because
nine months out of the year, it's pretty
rainy and cloudy.''
Monical also believes that if a person
has a question about homosexuality,
he/ she can answer it by putting it in

heterosexual terms. He uses the
example of the question: Aren't homosexual people unhappy? The answer
could be as definite as the answer to
the same que~tion put in heterosexual
terms: Aren t heterosexual people
unhappy?
Gieber feels that the majority of society
decides what is normal, and therefore,
homosexuality is not normal. She cites
the Supreme Court's attitude toward
homosexuality as her example. ''They
(the Supreme Court) have consistently
maintained that sodomy, and that's
what we are talking about , is an
unnatural sexual activity. 'Crimes against nature' is what they called it in
Rose v. Lock, in 1975."
According to Monica), there is a need
for more legislation to protect the civil
rights of homosexuals. He compares the
Gay Rights Movement to that of the

...

Maureen Gieber
Black Movement. "As a citizen, I have
a right to free speech. As a citizen, I
have a right to a speedy trial. As a
citizen, I have a right to practice
freedom of worship. But so do blacks.
They (blacks) found it necessary to beef
up some of those things (laws) because,
although they weren't denied them (the ·
rights). they were denied their jobs and
their housing. We (Gay Rights Alliance)
are trying to amend existing legislation
- that would do that for gay people."
Gieber agrees with Monica] that
homosexuals have civil rights rlow, as
citizens. But she disagrees with the
contention that they need more legislation to protect those rights. ''They are

LCC Ger1nan instructor asked to
teach Oregon students abroad
By

Connie Johnson
Karla Schultz, an LCC German
instructor, will teach German language
and culture to Oregon students in
Austria and Germany next summer.
Schultz was chosen by a committee for
Oregon Summer Study Abroad, to
travel to Europe this summer and teach
for an eight week session. This Study
Abroad program is sponsored by the
Oregon State College System, and is
directed by Prof. Frank Balke, Oregon
College of Education.
Schultz attended an informational

meeting about the program last year.
There she voiced her interest in
community colleges becoming members

asking for more rights because of their
homosexuality-- not in spite of it,''
states Gieber. In other words, Gieber
feels that gays are asking for extra
privileges because of their homosexuality.
Gieber also feels that an analogy
between black and gay rights is not
valid. Blacks are protected from discrimination because their color is a
circumstance of birth.
According to Gieber, homosexuals
themselves say that their condition is
not an inborn trait. '' Are we going to
start planning discrimination laws to
cover all the people who are discriminated against, such as prostitutes,
gypsies and the woman with two or
three children who can't find a place to
live?" she asks.
Teaching homosexuality does not
influence someone to become gay,
according to Monica!. "You cannot
make someone into a homosexual,"
states Monica!, and he continues,
"Every teacher has homosexual students in his class, and when he (the
teacher) sits there and tells those poor
students that they are sick and immoral,
it doesn't do any good." Monica!
explained that gay people are asking
only that true facts regarding homosexuality be taught in classes such as
sex education, where heterosexuality is
also taught. ''I am not asking in any way
for a class in homosexuality,'' states
Monica!.
But Gieber thinks that if the Gay
Rights Amendment were to stand as an
amendment, homosexuality would be
taught in the schools as an acceptable,
alternate life style.
"It doesn't make sense that they
(students) would not be influenced by
being around homosexuals,'' states
Gieber. She bases her comments on the
concepts of role modeling theories.
According to Monical, it is wrong to
fire someone because of his or her
sexual orientation. Sexual orientation is
a part of a person's private life, and has
nothing to do with whether or not they I
can perform their job well.
Gieber states, "Under the 18th Article
- of the United Nations' Declaration of
Human Rights, a person has a right of
conscience. If someone really has a
hang-up and in no way wants to
associate with someone that they feel is
acting irresponsibly or unnaturally,
then they have the right to fire that
person.''

of the Summer Study Abroad program,
so that LCC students could easily apply
for the session. Interested LCC students
must currently apply through one of the
sponsoring colleges. (The U of O is a
member.)
The program committee asked Schultz
late in Fall Term to be the instructor to
teach the 1978 summer session. The
other instructor is Prof. Wolfgang Dill
of Oregon State.
Schultz says she is excited about this
opportunity because the program, in it's
fourth year, "fosters interest in foreign
language" among students.
The students and instructors will visit
St. Johann in Tirol, Austria, and
Munich and Kassel, West Germany.
Half of each weekday will be spent
studying German conversation, composition, culture and history. The
instructors will teach second year level
intermediate and advanced courses.
Matthew Boles is a second year LCC
student who applied in December for
this summer session. Boles visited
Munich privately in the summer of
1976, and he says staying in Munich is
very expensive. The fee of $1,350 for
next summer's eight week session is
reasonable to Boles. He says it covers
room and board, ground transportation,
undergraduate tuition, and all of the
program's scheduled activities. While
the fee does not include round trip air
fare, a charter flight was arranged last
year at $529 per participant.
Boles says he will get his money's
worth from the experience because
traveling to Germany is important to his
language studies. Boles says he wants
''to understand Germans speaking
German.''
Former German students with one year
of German college credit or two years of
high school German are also eligible for
the program.
Information about next summer's
Study Abroad session is available by
contacting Karla Schultz in the Language Arts Department.

Student security patrols

Advance prevention is the best method
of controlling crime, according to Paul
Chase, manager of security and communications at LCC. The key is to avoid
a situation in which a crime might be
encouraged.

The month following the enactment o!
the program, that figure dropped to
zero in the controlled areas, Chase said.
Chase explained that some areas were

_Recording companies interested

Local blues hand set

TORCH---------- Jan. 5 - ~ . 1978,.
Men's basketball

CoOMt team wins twice

Murphy does a Chicago Shuffle,
tapping the rim on his snare drum for
accent. Akacich is genuinely pleased at
the forming of this group and said of
Murphy, ''He has a tremendous driving
right foot, which he uses as effectively
as any drummer I have seen on the
West Coast.''
If the culmination of a blues group had
been up to Akacich he stated that hjs
choice would have been these same five
musicians.
At least two record companies,
Tomatoe Records out of Los Angeles
and New York, and Alligator Records
out of Chicago, are interested in the
group.
Salgado is happy with the success of
this band. He thinks that being a white
man in the Blues world is a handicap.
He said, "Record companies have their
eyes on Robert Cray because he's young
and black." He added that the band
now needs to concentrate on creating
original material.
As yet the band plays very few original
pieces. Two original songs entitled
"Spider Bite" and "I Like Your Town"
have been well received by audiences.
But to record an album the group will
need more material of their own.
In addition to wanting to put blues on
AM radio, Salgado has the desire for
greater exposure. Salgado's desires
were stiffled with the Nighthawks
because other members were unable or
unwilling to go on tour. This was a
major factor in Salgado's decision to
join with Robert Cray.
The Cray Band, before Salgado and
Stewart joined it, toured as far north as
Vancouver, B.C. and as far south as
Santa Cruz, Calif. In February, the New
Robert Cray Band will tour the San
Francisco Bay Area. Among the clubs
they will play are the Coffee Gallery and
the Palms. Both places have acted as
launching pads for other groups.
These five musicians are talented.
With more original material, and with
t he vigorous lobbying of Richard
Cousins , a young man who knows and
gets what he wants, it is likely that AM
radio can look forward to filling the
airwaves with the soulful emotings of
the New Robert Cray Band.

Robert Cray and his fellow musicians are ready to travel.

Commentary by Jan Brown
Two years ago Richard Cousins
sauntered onto the various stages of
Eugene's entertainment spots with the
arrogance of a Bantam Cock. But today
Cousins is impressive to watch and
hear. •
His demeanor is no longer arrogant.
His cockiness was derived out of self
knowledge, and not out of youthful
overconfidence. Cousins knows how to
accomplish his goals, and the New
Robert Cray Band which preformed at
the Back Door Restaurant Dec. 23 was
Cousin's goal. As bass player Cousins
blends well with the other members of
the band and he shows the maturity of a
man who has come into his own.
The New Robert Cray Band is an
amalgamation of members of the Old
Robert Cr~y Band and members of
another successful local band, the now
defunct Nighthawks.
Robert Cray, the band's namesake, is
a young black with a vocal styling that
bears an uncanny resemblance to early
Ray Charles, yet Cray's guitar strokes
grip your guts and tantalize your ears in
the manner of the great blues artist,,
B.B. King.
Bob Dylan has said that we all imitate
someone, and that it's all in who we
imitate. If this is the case, Cray has
chosen the finest examples of R&B to
follow . Cray has developed his own
distinctive style, a style that appeals, as
blues should, to the emotions. Yet he
evokes these emotions in his music with
no apparent strain on himself. His
music is easy to listen to, and it just
seems to flow melodically from him.
Most blues enthusiasts in the Eugene
area were familiar with the old Robert
Cray band, and the Nighthawks. So if
hearing Cray himself was not enough to
tempt the soul, then the New Robert
Cray Band will certainly stroke the
emotional chords of their audiences.
On harp and vocals, Curtis Salgado,
previously of the Nighthawks, gives
himself to the music and the audience
the way that another Spaniard, Manolete, gave himself to the Corrida with
the inspiration that comes from total
envolvement. To hear Salgado and not
see him is to swear that the voice and
style belong to a large black man of SO
or more years. But Salgado is a soulful
young white man.
At 23, Salgado has been singiri' the
blues for years. At home, his family
played the music of Count Basie, Dinah
Washington, Father Hines, and Ray
Charles. Salgado's mother played piano. His father sang. It was their
influence that guided him in the
direction of blues.
Salgado seemed greatful when he
spoke of this, yet he said that "Blues is
a hard idiom to sell." He said of the
music he plays with the band, "It's
unmistakeably good and bad-assed, but
it needs to get pushed. It needs
somebody with money behind it.''
Salgado indicated disappointment that
AM radio plays very little blues. He said
he would like to " Put blues on AM

radio."
Salgado is the second of three fine
vocalists with the band. The third is
David Stewart, the keyboard player.
Stewart is also formerly of the Nighthawks . but is less well known and often
overlooked on his vocals primarily
because Cray and Salgado are up front
on stage and Stewart is seated in the
back behind his piano. But according to
Buddy Akacich, the band's agent,
'' Stewart assumes a significant share of
the vocals with the new band, as he did
with the Nighthawks."
Stewart, a tall blond man whose vocal
strength is increasing, comes across
best in songs like, "Same Old Blues,"
"Pretty Girl,'; and 'Just Your Fool."
Besides blues, Stewart, who trained as
a classical pianist, also plays emotionally communicative Jazz. Stewart's
main contribution to the New Band is a
new deviation on authentic Boogie
Woogie.
The three vocalists offer the audience a
varied range of expression and entertainment, but it is the drummer Tom
Murphy who motivates the audience to

The men's basketball team won its
first two Oregon Community College
Athletic Assn. (OCCAA) league games
last week, crushing Linn -Benton 84-48
and squeaking by Clackamas 67-65 to
claim a share of the league lead.
The Titans, 12-2 on the season,
played Chemeketa yesterday (results
were unavailable at press time), and
face Blue Mtn. this Saturday on LCC's
home court at 8 p.m.
Sophomore forward Steve Halverson
led the Titans to an easy victory over
Linn-Benton on Dec. 28 by scoring 24
points and pulling down nine rebounds.
LCC's front line of Halverson(6-4),
forward Bill Schaefers(6-6) and center
Keith Baltzer(6-5) completely dominated Linn -Benton inside.
Schaefers had 10 points and nine
rebounds, Baltzer scored 13 points and
hauled down eight rebounds, and the
three Titans combined to shoot a
sizzling 20 of 30 from the floor_.
Linn-Benton was outrebounded 56-26
and outshot 59 per cent to 33 per cent
from the field by the Titans, who
turned a 15 point halftime lead into a
rout.
Last Friday's game against Clackamas really looked like two separate ball
games.
Clackamas took a 37-28 halftime lead,
and it looked like LCC was headed for a
loss.
But a torrid second half comeback
propelled the Titans to a narrow two
point victory, with Baltzer's 15 points
and 12 rebounds playing an instrumental role in LCC's second league victory.
Baltzer' s hot shooting from the field
and fine rebounding compensated for a
dismal shooting night by Halverson (6
of 18 from the field), the team 's leading
scorer.
Guard Roger Bates, a 6-3 freshman
from North Eugene, had a brilliant
night, popping in 12 points and adding
four rebounds and five assists.
Both teams were cold from the field,
each hitting a shade over 40 per cent of
their field goal attempts, but the Titans
superiority on the boards (46-33)
enabled them to pull out a win.
