~ne Commglptg College Vol. 15 No. 12 Jan . 12 .Isa. 1'}, 1978 4000 East 30th Ave. Eagene,Or 97401 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.

From ''Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'' " Why don't you interview the motorcycle used in 'Animal House'?'' It had been one of those weeks where nothing made sense, especiaJly this To get the part, the bike was "dressed" down with a number of stock parts and with the front sprocket changed so the bike could be ridden up the stairs of the Sigma Nu fraternity house. Young managed to be in the right place at the right time and was able to get the small, yet important role for his motorcycle. Along with .a new chain and brakes installed on the bike, Young als_o received $300 for use of the machine. Of course. the moment had to arrive sooner or later. The short interview session with the bike can only be referred to as an experience . . • •Being careful not to talk of the Jong hours that were involved and the abse·nce of speaking lines, I inquired of the bike about its future career in movies. Th'! Harley Davidson · replied with a roar "It's unlikely that tu do any more actin g.

He opposes nuclear facilities because the facilities would provide fewer jobs than other electricity-producing plants, ignoring the crucial relationship between energy availability and indus-· try' s potential for hiring the labor force . While making wild predictions for the future (based on data that are not included in his -letter), Krulewitch assumes a fixed rate of change which assumes no new technological advances in the next fifteen years. For instance, his figures assume that breeder reactors will be prevented and that fusion energy will not be developed. • In discussing health hazards, Krulewitch acknowledges that limited risks are justified within the field of medicine. The health care industry is responsible for the highest doses of .radiation that most people receive. Yet ~e fails to apply this limited risk approach to other projects under development by the scientific ~mmun-ity, such as nuclear physics. • He also ignores President Carter's return to coal production which is inevitable if nuclear technology and implementation are blocked. Here we have some figures to think about: The federal government spends one billion dollars annually to care for disabled coalminers. There is little doybt that the cancer rate will increase sharply if we return toa heavier reliance on coal production. • The most doubtful of Krulewitch 's " alternatives" is the solar energy hoax which he has obviously bought lock, stock, . and barrel. He produces no figures to back up thefeasability of solar alternatives, yet he expects us to rely on 1 this dream to save our necks. Dr. Eric Lerner of the Fusion Energy Research Foundation answers these naivities very succintly: "Take as an example a solar energy continued on page 3 damages and personal liability, wasting thousands of farm acres for generations as_useless.radioactive waste, causing five thousand immediate deaths and . up to 20,000 deaths in thirty years due to cancer and leukemia. The incidence of increased birth defects would be too high to predict acccurately. There must be a good reason why insurance companies consider reactors such a bad risk that our tax money must be used to provide for Nuclear energy is a tremendous swindle that will cause a grave danger to our health. If this is the risk that people want to take to provide profits for private utili. ties, we need to move swiftly to establish a value on human life, to decide who should have control of those decisions, and to rethink our priorities in the field of enet"gy production.

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.

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.

The mini.mum capital requirements would be $ 100 bilJion dollars. (By comparison, nuclear energy for all ·of- New York's electricity supply would cost less than SlO billio?.) • 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?

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.

Under the main charact~rs are the court jesters, one carries a platter with faces lying flat and looking at the accused. Another jester appears in the background holding another face up to the figure in white. As we worked our way around the wall Hoy kept a sharp eye out for size, color, and space considerations giving a wellbalanced look to the final placements. Aholah and Susan worked together placing Susan's cast sculptures along one wall complementing the pen and ink drawings of Arzah. Nelson talked about her dream mask series. "What makes it a series is that the idea, imagery and· materials are related and tied together. The idea of the masks originated in the human potential movement and they serve a purpose which is not necessarily negative." She continued, "In early society masks had a place in the social structure and I think artists reveal themselves in their work. I think my work is really personal and containing elements of my personal Story and photos by Tim Leonard I happened to stop by the LCC Art 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. One -Eugene artist, Lorraine R. •Kr6f'is • featured with a piece entitled ''Down Commonwealth" which depicts a neighborhood with clouds flowing over, giving depth and perspective. Another print entitled "Tribunal" by Porter is actually an embossed etching. In it we see three large, dark figures which could represent the tri\Junal. They stand facing the accused, ca~t in a lighter tone with one mP.mhPr holding a dual face Smith, finishing up with the painting, . brought out a ladder and adjusted the tungsten halogen lights, bringing them into position to provide optimum efficiency. With the lighting taken care of, Nelson and friends poured the sand around the bases of her sculpture statues, spirit heads and long slender bodies; ass1.sted Aholah in the relocation of her bronze and • cast metals; and surveyed. the scene making any necessary chang~s.

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 I ~1)'~ In-depth look at the women's basketba ll team: short but quick their . way inside for easy lay-ins. 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 fastbreak when the opportunity arises, g~nerally ,fter one pf their larger teammates latches onto a defensive rebound.

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. Providing support at guard is 6-0 continued to page 7 court like swarms of angry gnats, forever dwarfed by. competitors that seem to tower over them like forests of giant redwoods. 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 scales 5-5. 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. The women's team looked to be loaded with height in pre-season scrimmages, with two outstanding 6-1 high school players trying out for the team with 5-11 Baltzer, sister of Keith Baltzer, sta•rting center on the men's team. Both 6-1 players dido 't make the team, Baltzer moved into the starting center slot, and 5-3 Smith and 5-6 Quick were tabbed as the starting forwards.

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.

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.

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. = In the second half the bench took over ... and forward Bill Schaeffers came through with 10 points and S rebounds to help Lane to its 90-66 finish .

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.
