LCCEA/Boardreach

contract agreement
by .Sally Oljar
After ten months of negotiation the LCC
Education Association (LCCEA) and the
LCC Board of Education ratified a new two
year faculty agree~ent last night.
The 1977-1 979 agreement received
unanimous approval from the Board at its
Jan . 11 meeting. The LCCEA voted 151-3
in favor on Wednesday afternoon .
' 'The only remaining difficulty is the
method of payment for retroactive pay, ''
said LCCEA President Joe Kremers. The
1975-1977 contract expired on June 30 of
last year. Kremers hopes the College will
extend the March 1 deadline for retroactive
payment to ''avoid lumping sums together.'' Such a move would be for tax and
retirement benefit purposes.
A ten hour mediation session on
• Monday, Jan. 9 ironed out the remaining
issues in dispute . Both parties signed a
tentative agreement (subject to Board and
LCCEA membership approval) early
Tuesday morning .
The results of that session, ratified by
both parties on Wednesday are that during
the first year the contract will delay
improvement of the· dental insurance
program until March 1, 1978. Beginning
July 1, 1978 a 7 percent increase will be
added to each step of the salary schedule.
In the second year the contract will:
• Grant st~p-level pay increases to those
facµlty members who are eligible.
• Maintain the existing level of
insurance benefits.

• Add $1,000 to the Professional
Development Leave program.
This allows instructors to take up to 12
weeks leave with three-quarters pay to
improve their professional competence.
This addition increases the total fund for
such leaves to $16,000 .
-• Allows instructors the option of
~eceiving salaries over a 10 or 12 month
period .
According to LCCEA bargaining team
member Penny Schlueter "We agreed to
discontinue any representation or public
support of three grievances now pending
against the college." She added that the •
grievances in question were filed by three
former faculty members .
Concessions were made on the part of
the LCCEA regarding the delay of
implementation of the dental insurance
program until March 1. 1978, Schlueter
said . The LCCEA was pleased that the
College agreed to the 10 or 12 month pay
schedule option, she added, but the group
was dissatisfied with -t he general tone of
the fact-finder's report.
According to Schlueter the dissatisfaction stems from the fact-finder's inability
to " seriously" consider all of the faculty's
original p·roposals.

Operations Tony Birch reported improve:

In protest of _photos

To the Editor:
It is distrubing to see that the artistic
enterprises here at Lane seem to still be
focused in on a singular view of women
in our socieity. We refer to the displays .
recently on view in the Center Building.
One dealt with the essay approach of a
woman "out oflove" who finds her only
answer in self-destruction. The second
deals with a ' .. creative vaseline"
process and uses a woman's body as
one of its subjects. If other, more aware
art is happening which presents a more
realistic view of women, it would be an
appreciated change for our eyes.

To the Editor:

1·

H the twenty-two people who sign~d
the above letter are interested in seeing
"more aware" and "more realistic"
views of women, perhaps the rest of the
student body would like to see their
interpretation.
I propose a photographic contest with "Women" as the
theme. Ten finalists will be displayed in
the Center Building. Details on the
contest can be worked out between the
Women's Awareness Center representative and the LCC photographic; staff.
I would like to add a personal ,note: I
believe the photo story mentioned'
showed the·woman in a very sympathetic light. Her choice of suicide as a way
of dealing with her loss of love is a
classic theme in literature, and therefore a reasonable theme for my
student's photo story. The vaseline
print was one of several done by women
in my class and therefore an expression
of that woman'• creativity.
In closing I would like to say the letter
above is an example of narrow-minded
feminist inquisition; sorry for being
redundant.

• In supporting the efforts of nuclear
scientists, one acknowledges that the .
economic potential exists to feed the
world's starving -- who are left to suffer
and die -- because we will not make the
adjustments that would give them a
chance to survive. Krulewitch seems
preoccupied with his hard-earned tax
dollars. The disservice he performs by
his isolationist global outlook . is
compounded by the questionable
statistics he throws around.
• His stand on the effects of
radioactivity is a familiar scare tactic,
but it 'holds little water when we deal
with the scientific facts.
Background radiation for the average
US citizen amounts to some 250
millirems per year, according to Dr. P.
Beckman, Professor of Electrical
Engineering at th_e . University ~f
Colorado. Half this radiation is due to
natural sources; most of the rest can be

attributed to medical equipment.
Nuclear plants would add 0.003
millirems to this total - an amount
Beckman calls "piddling," like "a fly
sneezing in the witid.''
• Utility companies control nuclear
energy in this country - but they have no
wish to dev'elop it to its full potential; an
unlimited energy source such as fusion
would put their escalating profits on a
diminishing scale.
Is there a better_way to control new
technology than to own it outright?
Come on, Dr. Krulewitch. How many
new ideas do the automotive corporations purchase - and file away - solely to
prevent their competitio~ from imple•
menting them? Others hate expressed
this analysis better that I could, so·I will
quote Eric Lerner further:
What or who, then. is behind the
hullabuloo about 'cheap solar energy?'
It is the same interests &$ those that
oppose nuclear energf - those banks
and their foundations who fear cheap
energy and high wages and who push by
any means possible for expensive
energy, like solar, and for slave wages.
It is the same interests who arewillingto
gut the U.S. and world economy to
finance their debt payments.
No
scientist, trade unionist or businessman should be suckered by the solar
energy schemes of these banks.

What I am referring to is the marvelous
introductory lectures given the first class
of each term. As the professors proceed
down the page of the traditional syllabus.
we find that the TERM is in fact a
QUARTER. That was the easy part. You
figure out the rest. The first half of the
quarter must be something less than 1/8,
and the second half something more than
1/8. So, when we get half way through
the term we must be at l /8. But that
does not make sense, because two halves
make one, and 1/8and 1/8onlyequals ¼.
So, when we get to 4, and you think
you are finished with the term, you still
have 3/4 of the term left to complete.
Even if there are four seasons in the
year that does not justify calling a TERM
a QUARTER. So I resolve that we can all

Gallery last Thursday around 9:30 p.m.
• and found the walls bare, stacks of
prints in and out of shipping containers
and five people , in different positions
discussing the partitioned wall which lay
,
in fragments at their feet.
They were preparing the exhibition of
sculpture, drawings and original prints
for the opening on the following day.
Howard Hoy, LCC sculpture instructor,
asked if I would help lift the display wall
when adjustments had been made. Sure,
I said, realizing that any assistance would
be better than none. We gathered at
strategic points and gently raised the
material into an upright position. Then
the fun began.
Lik·e elements of a painting which apply
themselves separately to form a complete
work, we branched off into various areas.
Aholah Arzah, a student at Portland
State University and Susan Nelson, a
teaching assistant in the LCC Art
Department, went about bringing •their
various works out into the open,
discussing wall locations and starting to
hang them.

Greg Smith, an LCC art student,
brought out his paint and gave the
partition a fresh coat of beige. Ray
Nelson_, a pottery student on an independent study, gave his assistance cutting
boards, nailing studs, assembling the
pieces and cleaning the display case,
among other things.
Hoy had unpacked the crates and we
set about making the measurements to
allow for the height and viewing of
visitors.
The prints, which represent first
edition award originals by Northwest
artists, were selected from over 300
entires in recent compeition. The Oregon
Arts Commi_ssion worked with the Oregon
Arts Foundation and the Washington
Arts Commission in selecting the prin_ts.

depth and perspective.

Men '1-.ba,lc~ibaU team

TitaD s outmu scle foes
by John Healy

Line 'em up on a football field, and
you've got a small college dream team.
Five players over 6-5. Six players
tipping the scales at 200 pounds. All as
st,-ong as oxen.
And intelligent, willing to sacrifice
individual stardom for team success.
The type of athletes. football coaches
loot for when putting together an
offensive line.
Fortunately for Dale Bates, LCC men's
basketball •coach, Bill Schaefers, Keith
Baltzer-, Dennis Immonen, Kurt Reuter,
Tom Bird, and Jeff. Rodenburg decided to
play basketball here instead of using their
combined bulk on a football fi,eld .
Bates' burly front line has carried the
Trtans· to a dazzling 14-2 record this
season, and as of last' Saturday night,
they •were ~tting atop the Oregon
Community CQllege Assn. (OCCAA)
standings with 4-0 record.
Quite an accomplishment when . you
consider that the Titans finished last
season with a 14-15 record and a share of
fourth in the OCCAA .
..The inside game is our strength,"
explains Bates; speaking of his immense
front line thatsceins to thunder and crash
oyer opponents lite the storm waves. tbilt
frequently wreak havoc upon the Oregon
Coast.
"We're not really that quick this year,
so we've had to ·~1y on a pattern offense
and working the ball inside."
Bates attributes much of his team's
success to experience -- six sophomores
arc on this year's roster, five at forward
or center.
•
The Titans' all-sophomore starting
front line features 6-5, 205 pound Baltzer
at center. Baltzer, the team's leading
rebounder, ls currently averaging 13.6
points and 8.0 reboµnds a game and is
described by·Bates as a "real cog on our
team --• he's much stronger inside this
year, and his defense has improved."
Flanking Baltzer at the forward positions are Bill Schaef~rs. a 6-6, 200 pound
transfer from Mt. Hood CC, -and "quick"
forward Steve Halverson,. at 6-4 and 185·
pounds the team's smallest, but quickest
forward.
'• Steve is one of our best free throw
shooters, and his ballhandling and
offensive skills . have improved,'' says
Bates.
Halverson is hitting 13. 9 points and'
pulling down 5r1 rebounds a game, but
has had .problems shooting from the field,
averaging only 41 per cent.
Hampered by an ankle injury, Schaefers bas been inconsistent at times,
according to Bates, but his outside
shooting and . rebounding ability have
proved valuable to the Titans. Schaefers
is currently ~ng 11 points a game and
haulin·g down 6. 7. rebounds.
Lane's top three rebounders and
scorers all play on the team's front line,
so one tends to forget about the Titans'
backcourt after watching the big men
ripping down missed shots and forcing

Bates hasn't forgotten about his
starting guards, Pat Fendall and son
Rodger Bate~.
"I think they are two of the best guards
in the league," he declares, "and I'm
sure they are the two top freshmen
guards ."
Bates and Fendall direct the Titans

sizes coach Bates, " bµt our board play is
much. better this year and ·we have a
bunch of good ballhandlers and passers
who finish the break well."
Bates, a 6-3 freshman from North
Eugene's state champion AAA clu·b , is
one of the team's best all-around players,
"capable of playing several positions."
He leads the team in assists (4) and
steals (2), in addition to scoring 10.6
points a game, and uses his })eight well
on the boards.
Injured early last ,season and then
redshirted, Fendall (6-0) shoots well (7.6
points a contest) and is a good
ballhandler and defensive player.
''They both play good pressure defense," says Bates of his two starting
guards, both averaging over two steals a
game.

Benita Benigni stands 5-2, as does
Kathie Pearson· and Joy Rhoads. Lis
Melevin and Kelly Smith are 5-3, and
Gail Rogers is 5-4 and Tammy Walket

Coach Sue Thompson believes her
team is "one of the smallest" in the
Northwest Conference Women's Sports
Assn. (NCWSA), the four team league of
which the Titans are a membe~.
On the other hand, Thompson would
stack her mighty mites against just about
any other team when it comes to
quickness, outside shooting, and deterrriination.

nating at the two starting guard
positions.
Thompson has her pl~yers run a pick
and roll or "continuous motion" offense,
similar to the Oregon men's team. The
Titans \ltilize a lot of screens, particularly
on the outside, where Thompson has a
trio of deadly shooters in Smith, Melevin,
and Rogers.
"We have a lot of good outside
shooters who can hit from anywhere in
the 10-15 foot range," says the women's
coach.
The Titans• reliance on their outside
shooting has come as a result of the zone
defenses that have faced LCC in every
game this season.
"Other teams are playing a zone
against us because of our lack of height,''
analyzes Thompson , "so most of our
scoring has come from the outside.''
"We've been outrebounded in all of
our games this year, so we have to work
for good positioning and high percentage
shots.''
•
. It is on defense that LCC's lack of
height is more than compensated for by
the Titans' strength -- their quickness.
"We prefer a man to man defense
because of our quickness," says the
Titans' coach, "and due to our height
problems, which prevent us from always
using a zone.''
Her players run a 1-2-2 zone press after
an LCC basket, and then all back into a
1-2 zone with the closest player to the ball
picking up that opposing player.
''The press is very good for us. We
have been able to score after forcing
turnovers, and it forces opponents off
balance.''
Lane plays in the NCWSA with Mt .
Hood, Clackamas, and Clark, last season's league champion. The Titans won
ten consecutive games enroute to a 15-2
regular season record last year and a
second place finish in the league. They
then finished fifth at the regional
tournament in Kalispell, Montana, ending the season with an overall record of
16-4.
The women's team was defeated in
their first three games this season, losing
to Linfield 62-36, Linn-Benton §1-44, and
Lower Columbia 79-68, but rebounded
Saturday night with a 58-43 win over the
Oregon junior varsity.
Look for more than a few teams to be
thrown off balance this year by Thompson's swarm of mini-Titans.
No redwood in its right mind would
argue with a 5-2 buzzsaw that is intent on
stealing the ball.
You might get toppled in the process.
Profiles of each of the team's players
are as follows:
DeAnn Baltzer, 5-11 freshman,Pleasant
Blll, Center
"Real green, " strongpoint is defense ,
needs work on her shooting. Has had
trouble adjusting to more physical college
game, has gotten into foul trouble in
nearly every game. Strong inside player,
jumps and rebounds well, particularly on
defensive board. "We're working on her
jump shot -- we have adjusted (?Ur offense
to her against taller teams,'' says
Thompson. Averaging 7.0 points, 7.2
rebounds per game .
Kelly Smith, S-3 &eahman, Sprfngfleld,
forward

Makes up for her lack of height with
quickness, excellent ball handling, and
solid outside shooting. "Natural ballplayer," takes • good . shot. selection,

Titan basketball center Keith Baltzer
scored i1 points and pulled down 25
rebounds in two games last week and was
named OCCAA player of the week as he led
Lane to an 87•73 victory over Chemekata
Community College and a 90-66 win over
Blue Mountain Community College.

combined for 71 points. "

Th~ victories increased Lane• s league
record to 4-0 and their season record to
14-2. Lane is now alone at the top of the
league as previously unbeaten Chemekata
fell victim to the Titan's tenacious defence
and fiery inside play.

Against Blue Mountain Baltzer also led
the team in scoring with 20 ~ints and he
led the Titans in rebounding with 15.

"We played solid defence t.he whole
game,'• commented coach Darrell Bates.
"We moved the ball around and had a fine
running game."
The Titans took the lead from the very

Women hoopsters win twice

The women's basketball team turned a
pair of early leads into two home-court
victories last week to end a three game
losing streak. Forward Kelly Smith's
outside shooting and DeAnn Baltzer's
inside play helped. lift the Titans.to victory
over the Oregon JV' 58-43 Saturday night.
Tuesday night, 5-8 guard Cindy Corkum
scored 13 points and grabbed 13 rebounds
as LCC overpowered Oregon Institute of
Technelogy (OIT) 46-32 to push their
pre-season record to 2-3.
The Titans surged to an early 6-0 lead
over Oregon less than a minute after the
opening tipoff, and against OIT they
moved to a quick 8-0 margin on two
baseline jumpers by Corkum and baskets
by Smith and Baltzer.
Oregon stayed within six points of LCC
throughout much of Saturday's contest

According to Dale Bates, it's this depth
that has provided the key to the Titans'
success thus far.
"We play. all ten kids," he explains,
"and they all contribute."
Amazingly, everyone except Halvorsen
(Alaska) hails from., •an Oregon higl;t
school.
The constant shuttling of players
allows the Titans to remain relatively
fre&Jl throughout the game. Fresh players
mean intensity and few mental errors.
That combination has given LCC' s
defensive efforts notoriety within the
league -- Lane has led the OCCAA in
defense for the last three years, and
Bates is aiming for a fourth crown.
They play a man to man defense, but
often switch to full court pressure to rattle
an opponent.
''Our kids work hard and take pride in
their defense," says Bates, who often
inserts ballplayers into the starting lineup
because of their defensive efforts.
Imagine having to play a team built like
the Pittsburgh Steelers who play defense
like Oregon's "Kamikaze" Ducks.
It's enough to send shudders through
you.

Hepatitis: d a n g e r i,!) A o r B

f·

[·

!

"I've been exposed to hepatitis. Can
you give me a shot ?'' -In the Student
Health Services, this requ est is not
uncommon .
Hepatitis is a fairly common disease
in Lane County and in Oregon.
Nationally , only V.D., mumps, and
measles rank above hepatitis in
numbers of cases repo rted annually.
Whether you need to "tak e a shot "
for it is determined by what kind of
hepatitis you contacted and how you
contacted it.
There are two kinds of viral hepatitis
-- Type A, previously known as
infectious hepatitis, and Type B,
previously known as seru m hepatits.
Viral hepatitis is a broad tePl'n that
includes these two distinct kinds of
hepatitis.
Symptoms of viral hepatitis are both
generalized and intestinal and usually
include a sick feeling , fever , muscle

~:

aches, fatugue, headache, nausea •
with or without vomiting, abdominal
pain, dark urine, and sometimes
jaundice (yellow skin and eyeballs).
Hepatitis is a virus that affects the
liver. The disease is contagious.
Hepatitis A is most often spread by
close persona] contacts, and indirectly
through virus contamin~ted food and
water. Good handwashing with soap
and water before eating and after going
to-the toilet is the best way to stop the
spre ad of the disease. Ill individ1,1als
should be advised not to prep are food
for others during the time the disease
can be transmitted. Household cleanliness , use of sepa rate toothbrushes,
washcloths and towels, care in disposal
of vomit or fecal materials prevent the
spre ad of hepatitis.
Immune serum globulin (gamma
globulin) gives protection against the
clinical manifestations of Hepatitis A

when administered within two weeks
after exposure. It does not completely
prev ent hepatitis, but it makes the
dise ase less severe. It is administered
intra-muscularly ina dose which varies
according to body weight.
The Hepatitis B virus can ente r the
body orally or thro ugh the skin.
Contaminated blood is mo~t often
involved. Persons with a history of
Hepatitis B should not donate blood.
Again , good personal hygiene , and
thorough hand-washing ; especially
after handling blood-contaminated
items, is the best way to control \he
disease.
The treat men t IS rest, a low fat diet,
seeking and eliminating the source of
infection, and instruction in good
hygiene to control the spre ad of the
disease. Gamma Globulin shots are
administered to people who have had
close contact with the infected individuals as a prevention mea sur,e.
