LCC studen t surren ders

Rex Lee Larsen
by Sally Oljar and Tim Leonard
Three and one half hours after a warrant
had been issued for his arrest in connection
with the Feb. 3 murder of Springfield cab
driver John Paul Caves, LCC student Rex
Lee Larsen surrendered to Lane County
authorities.
Larsen walked out of the woods al~ng
Highway 126 between Mapleton and Walton
at8 p.m. Wednesday and was placed under
arrest by authorities . .He was arraigned this
morning, according to officials.

Larsen is enroJled at LCC in an academic
transfer program. He is serving an eight
year sentence for burglary. His enrollment
at LCC is part of the educational release
program of the state corrections division.
Larsen had been living at the Community
Corrections Center on Alder street in
Eugene since Dec. 22,1977, according to
Barney Cosgrove, regional manager of field
service for the corrections division.
"We haven't seen him since he left for
school (on Feb. 2)," Cosgrove told the
TORCH. When Larsen did not return to the
center by 5:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon an
all points bulletin was issued in Salem by
state police for his arrest on an escape
•
charge.
''This is the first kind of problem we've
had of any kind with this man," Cosgrove
said.
At the time of his arrest for burglary
Larsen had four hand guns in his posession,
said Larry Roach, assistant chief of field
services. Because of this, Roach said,
Larsen came under closer supervision than
many work-release inmates convicted of
property crimes.

Corrections officials said that Larsen was
spot checked during his enrollment at LCC
and was always where he was supposed to
be.
The shooting occured at approximately
10:30 p.m. Friday about 35 miles west of
Eugene on Highway 126. A man had asked
Caves to drive him to Florence and had paid
the $40 fare in advance. Caves' girlfriend,
also in the cab, was chained to a tree in the
surrounding woods and raped after Caves
was shot. She escaped and found authorities
at the scene. and told them what had
happened.
Road blocks had been set up on Highway
126 near Walton and Mapleton, two small
communities west of Eugene. On Tuesday
afternoon a woman saw a rain soaked man
near a chicken coop approximately 100 yards
behind her house. On Tuesday evening a
Walton couple checked the fuse box outside
their home after the lights had been
extinguished inside. Outside, near the fuse
box, the couple encountered a man whose
description was similiar to the killers, said
Lane County Sheriff Dave Burks.

Professor -to speak on 'close encounters ' Board delays
by Tim Leonard
''What I think we are observing is a very
high degree of technology that is capable of
systematically exploiting the basis of what
we call telepathy and clairvoyance. We are
just bumbling beginners at learning how to
harness certain natural phenomena they
may have been using for thousands of
years," says Dr. James A. Harder of
possible alien beings in a January interview
published in Playboy magazine.
Dr. Harder, the current director of
re.search for the Aerial Phenomena Research

James Harder

Organization (APRO) will address an
audience at the University of Oregon
February 11. His subject will be '' Realities of
the Close Encounter'' and reports from
abduction cases by aliens.
In a telephone interview conducted last
week, Harder, who is a professor of
hydraulics at the University of California at
Berkeley touched on some of the things he is
concerned with.
. '' APRO is a non-profit research organization with somewhere between three and four

thousand members. We publish a monthly
bulletin dealing with investigations. We
have a large core group of field investigators
and 30•40 scientific consultants involved
with specific aspects of problems." •
"My general job is to give advice to
investigators and other people about what to
look for in making studies." He also
conducts investigations of alleged abductions by extraterrestrial beings and is
generally concerned about learning what he
can about the subject of UFOs.
Since becoming involved in the study of
extraterrestrial phenomena in the early
sixties, Harder has seen changes in how
society views such occurances. "There has
been a greater acceptance at all levels of
society,'' he explained, ''that what they are
dealing with is physically real. There has
been a greater acceptance on the part of the
public that UFOs are real."
He believes that '' at least we perceive that
UFOs have been seen more frequently close
to the ground.'' He also feels that there seem
to be more observed landings."
The rate of the number of abductions has
increased from the early sixties to the
present, Harder explained, "now whether
that change in activity is just a change in our
being willing to accept evidence that has
been there all the while or whether it is a
change actually in the activity of the UFO
phenomena, I'm not really sure."
Abduction cases have long since involved
the (APRO research) director. "I have much
evidence for example, that abductions that
we seem to take a little more for granted
now-a-days have been going on for a long
while. I find many people at the present time
who are 30 or 40 years old having a UFO
experience when they were only three or four
years old.
'' It does seem,'' he adds, '' as if there has
been a low level of activity going on for much
longer than people realize.''
Harder also commented on the Federal
government's position regarding UFOs.
"The Air Force has had a long
involvement starting in 1947," he said.

project called• 'blue book'' begun under the
direction of Captain Edward J. Ruppelt. By
1952 the project was going full blast,
gathering material relating to sightings,
although hampered by a small staff and
inadequate funds.
According to Harder, ''The estimate of
situation findings in 1948 was that the
so-called flying discs were interplanetary
spacecraft. Now that particular report was
classified top secret and sent to _the higher
ups in Washington where they rejected it as a
theory out-of-hand."
According to Harder the Chief of Staff for
the Army and Air Force atthattime, "said it
was impossible. Now, of course, when the
scientists came out from Wright-Patterson
Air Force base to bolster the evidence, which
supported the original estimate, they were
just laughed at.''
"And that," Harder believes, "was the
beginning of the Air Force denial mechanism.'' He says the military will officially
claim that there is nothing to UFO
phenomena. But, according to Harder, if a
person was to look at their internal
documents, the distribution lists and the
kinds of investigations that go on a person
could easily see the government fear of
public knowledge about UFOs.
"It's also very embarrassing to them,"
Harder thinks, "and (the subject) has
raised many questions which they are not
prepared to answer.''
Dr. Harder is a certified hypnotist and
uses his skill to help abducted subjects recall
material from experiences they claim to have
lived through.
''In most cases, especially the earlier
ones," Harder recalled, "the people who
have had some kind of a close encounter
experience, have had the memory of that
removed from their consciousness."
"Now I am not going to theorize how that
was done, but it is obvious that it was done.
The critics of that view could say that in
hypnosis they (the patient) just imagined
something which didn't occur."
An example that sparked Harder' s

tu1t1on increase
The LCC Board of Education did not vote
to increase tuition by 10 percent at its
meeting Feb.8, but they didn't reject the
proposal. The tuition increase was one of
several proposals considered by the Board.
However. no decision has been made on any
of the administration's recommendations to
balance the projected $1.2 million deficit in
the 1978-1979 college budget.
An increase in the present tax rate, from
the present $1 .30 per $1,000 true cash value
assessed on Lane County property owners,
fo approximately $1.54 was another
alternative presented to the Board by Tony
Birch. dean of business operations. Birch
told the Board that a tuition increase alone
would not bring enough of the needed
revenue to the college.
Reductions in college programs and
services will allow the college to live within
the current $4.9 million tax base, said
President Eldon Schafer, if the Board
decides not to seek voter approval for an
increase.
Board Chairwoman Catherine Lauris
stated that a tuition increase would signal a
significant increase in a student's budget
but only "peanuts in our (the college)
budget.''
The projected $1.54 figure represents a 27
percent increase in the tax base, an increase
that Schafer said ''the public won't go for.''
He suggested that college administrators
take a "closer look" at expenditures in each
department and possibly reallocate resources in those department~.
Birch attributed the majority of the
projected deficit to increased employee
salaries stemming from the recent contract
settlements. He also pointed out that the
projected deficit does not take into account
.the rising costs from inflation or new
program expenditures.
The Board delayed a decison on the
funding issue for further discussion at its
next meeting on Feb.22.

How objective should your front page news be?
Commentary by Paul Yarnold
The life or death of the baby Harp seal and the continuation of seal hunting off
the eastern coast of Canada have become widely covered emotional issues in the
US press. On Jan. 31 , 1978, the Eugene Register-Guard published a story on the
subject entitled, ' ' Awaiting Their Demise ,'' featuring a picture of a baby-blue
seal. The story cast objectivity to the wind in favor of a ride on the environmental
bandwagon .
The story, though written in a feature style, appeared as a news item on the

front page. It was not by-lined, nor labelled as opinion. And it made no attempt to
present a balanced account of the seal hunting controversy.
A feature article, by definition, is differentiated from a straight news story in
that it is not written in a totally objective style. A feature leans with the author's
convictions, and often involves a human interest story of one form or another.
By using placement (where a story appears in the newspaper); by using a
by-line (the reporter's name); or by labelling a story "feature" material, an
edi_tor indicates to his readers how objective a g1ven piece is.
The main source of quotes and background for the article was Jim Stratton , a
staff member of the University of Oregon Survival Center, who is helping to
raise funds for the Greenpeace Foundation. The foundation is leading protest
efforts aimed at banning the annual seal hunt sanctioned by the Canadian
Government.
According to Stratton, the main source of his statistics is Greeenpeace
President Pat Moore . Thus, the ''facts'' presented originate on one side of the
controversy only. Nowhere is there a quote from representatives of the Canadian
Government, nor their Department of Fisheries (which supervises the hunt), nor
even the seal hunters themselves.
The figures quoted in the Guard story totally contradict those provided by the
Canadian Dept. ofFisheries. As an example, the Guard said that, 'T~o hundred
hunters will have earned about $400 apiece , by way of the seal hunt."
Information officer for the Canadian Dept. of Fisheries, Elaine Teske, lists the
profits as averaging $2500 per hunter (whose ''average' ' income hovers around
$7500 a year outside of seal hunting).
Though Stratton of the Survival Center claims the government averages are
totally misleading , one should not have to call Ottawa, Canada , to get the other
side of the story . If a reader is provided with two sets of "facts" and statistics
corresponding to two sides of a particular issue, hopefully he or she will be able to
decide who and how much to believe. "News" produced any other way cannot
escape the label of propaganda .
The picture of the mooning seal , awaiting its ''demise'' sums up the thrust of
the piece. The thrust is emotional which would be more acceptable on the feature
page, andmostacceptableontheeditorialpage. Manipulative, emotional pieces
do not belong on page one.
In fairness to Steve Smith who wrote the piece, he admitted it was, '' a little less
balanced'' than most of his previous work, although he stands behind the
''facts'' he originally included. He added that a follow-up piece will be.published
this week and will give the Canadian government's position more emphasis.
Managing Editor Barry Hartmann and City Editor Lloyd Passman were not
available for comment this week.

On behalf of Kim and ourselves we would
like to thank the many, many loving,
generous, warm-hearted people who helped
her throughout her battle for life against

the fullest -- never giving up -- rarely
complaining much. She wanted us to do the
same -- and not to be sad. We thank God for
the time we had with her, but we realize she
has finally found peace. May that peace
extend to each of you.
As she has said so many times in the past:
' •Words alone can never express our
feelings of appreciation and gratitude to the
many, many people who so unselfishly gave
of themselves, whether it was prayers.

expression she used was: "What greater

from the bottom of our hearts!!!"

City Council soon decides ERA - related boycott
News Feature by Alice Griffith

Julie Aspinwall Lamberts: One feminist
behind the boycott movement
by Alice Griffith
"Adam was a rough draft,'' shouts the red, white, and blue bumper sticker
from the wall beside a neatly stacked row of '' American Education Research
Journals . ''
''Love-Gratitude'' whispers the poem about deep emotion and vulnerability
from the same office wall, which is also shared by a colorful display of personal
snapshots, and an assortment of children's art work. But the blotched calendar
on her desk, clutered with scheduled appointments, would make Jimmy Carter
shudder .
Julie Aspinwall Lamberts, who recently took her mother's maiden name
(Aspinwall) into her own name, ''because we (the family) were brought up in a
very strong Aspinwall heritage and it just didn't seem right to be carrying only
my father's name,'' is not the stereotypical resident of a campus administration
building. Like her office decor she is unique.

''The burden of all sensible critiques
of modern society must be against its
economic structure.''
-- C. Hartley Grattan
The issue of whether or not Eugene
should join a nationwide economic
boycott of states which have not ratified
the Equal Rights Amendment {ERA)
will be discussed at a public hearing
which has been scheduled by the
Eugene City Council for Monday,
Feb. 13.
The boycott, which is sponsored by
the National Organization of Women
(NOW), is an effort by the proponents of
the Equal Rights Amendment to
encourage states which have not ratified
the ERA to approve the proposed
amendment.
Section 1 of the proposed 27th
Amendment to the United States
Constitution {the Equal Rights Amendment) states:
'' Equality of rights under the law
shall not be denied or abridged by the
UnitedStatesor by any State on account
of sex.''
The Equal Rights Amendment has
been approved by 35 states and must be
ratified by 3 more before the deadline,
March 22, 1979, in order to become part
of the United States Constitution. An
additional three states have rescinded
approval, the legality of which is still in
question The City of Eugene has
previously indicated its support of the
Equal Rights Amendment.
On Jan. 11 of this year the Eugene
Commission on the Rights of Women
(Women's Commission) requested that
the City of Eugene adopt a policy of
prohibiting city officials and staff from
attending, at the city's expense,
business meetings, conferences, etc. in
states which have not ratified the Equal
Rights Amendment.
Julie Aspinwall Lamberts, LCC
program evaluator and member of the
Eugene Women's Commission, explains, ''The merits of the ERA will not
be discussed at the Feb. 13 meeting.
The only issue before the Council is
whether or not Eugene should withhold
city money from states which have not
ratified the Equal Rights Amendment.''
The unratified states are: Alabama,

Aspinwall Lamberts' official position at LCC is concerned with e~aluation of
academic programs. However, she is currently on leave from those
responsibilities to evaluate the status of the institution (LCC) in relation to the
Title IX regulations.
In her private life, Aspinwall Lamberts is a member of the Eugene Commission
on the Rights of Women (Women's Commission) which is currently requesting
the City Council of Eugene to adopt a policy to prohibit city officials and
employees from attending, at city expense, meetings in the 15 states that have
not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment.
Anne Stewart, coordinator of the Women's Center at LCC, has worked with
Aspinwall Lamberts at LCC on projects designed to establish equity between
men and women. She states, '' Julie is a very competent and thorough individual
who is really committed to what she believes.''
Attempting to pinpoint exactly when she became active in women's issues
Aspinwall Lamberts states, '' I don't even know when it began. I was involved to a
degree when I was in college. The National Organization for Women (NOW)
wasn't even organized at that time (early 1960's)."
Since that time she has apparently become quite a joiner. She is currently an
active member in such organizations as: NOW, Women's Political Caucus (on
the national, state, and county levels), National Abortion Rights Action League,
Women Educators, and Women in Educational Research. She also serves on the
Board of Directors for Womenspace, an organization which aids with the
problems of battered women.
As she absently tugs at the gold necklace designed as a combination women's
r
symbol and equality sign, Aspinwall Lamberts ponders aloud: ''People seem to
have preconceived ideas of what a feminist is. I think there were some suprises
when I put up family pictures and children's drawings. They (some co-workers)
never expected that in my office because it indicates a certain softness."
On the wall, typed on a 3" x 5" index card, is a quotation, "Embittered
relationships pollute lives. Better dissolve them and recycle the elements.'' It
reflects a bit of Aspinwall Lamberts' personal philosophy. "I have never
married," she states. "I have never been involved with anyone that I pictured
myself growing old with. I guess I have always been satisfied enough to grow old
with myself. I think the legal binds of marriage are very entrapping.''
,
_ _._...~_,;:.~ l,,,~"Sipping coffee from a large red and white mug which boldly states "Ms,"
Aspinwall Lamberts points to a snapshot,. '' And these are my cats - my children - Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
a son and a daughter. Harriet Elizabeth and Curtis Antonia. Harriet is for Harriet Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, MisBeecher Stowe, Elizabeth for Elizabeth Cady Stanton, two early social activists.

If the items a person chooses for his/her office are any indication of that
But City Councilmen Brian Obie and
person's abilities, interests, and personality, Julie Aspinwall Lamberts is Tom Williams disagree. Obie states, "If

''Things just keep going higher - and higher - and higher . . . '' which have not ratified ERA) then we've
got to quit going to Springfield because

they don't ha\·e a gay rights ordinance. ''
Williams feels that the request is, "an
application -by the human rights entity that says: 'Discriminate'."
City Councilman Jack Delay has said,
''We' re really talking about our level of
commitment to the notion of equal
rights for women. If we were talking
about the identical situation of boycotting a meeting in states that still have
slavery, we might not have as much
trouble deciding what action to take.''
An analogy can be made between
the ERA boycott and Montgomery
bus boycotts organized by the NAACP
in 1955. Martin Luther King Jr. once
stated, inreferencetotheboycotts, 'Our
concern was not to put the bus company
out of business, but to put justice in
business. He who accepts evil without
protesting against it is really cooperating with it.' But some people wouldn't
appreciate this comparison.
Don Bishoff, Register-Guard associate editor and opponent of the boycott,
recently referred to the boycott as
"economic extortion." He states,
''Let's be honest -any organized boycott
effort is economic extortion. It's saying
to the boycott target: 'Do it my way or I'll
try to put you out of business.'''
The National League of Cities, of
which Eugene is a member, has this
year's convention scheduled for St.
Louis, which is in one of the unratified
states. Bishoff states, "The national
league isn't gonna move or cancel the
convention just because Eugene (along
with Cincinnati and Washington D.C.,
which are boycotting) doesn't come. Big
conventions, booked years in advance,
are immovable objects. So Eugene will
accomplish nothing by not sending its
delegates . . . ''
Television news commentator Walter
Cronkite reported on CBS news last
month that the states are definately
feeling the economic pinch of the
boycotts. Nevada alone has an estimated loss ·in revenue of $24 to $25
million due to the relocating of
conventions by boycott supporters,
Cronkite is reported to have said. The
estimated loss for all unratified states is
$60 to $80 million to date, according to
Marc Wilson, reporting in an Associated Press story, although his source
was not specified.
Among the 80 to 90 major organizations which have
joined the boycott
are, the Association
of American Law
Schools, the American Federation of
Government Employees, the American Political Sci• :·
ence Association,
1 the
Democratic
National Committee, National Council
of Churches, the National Education
Association , and the United Auto
Workers.
In announcing the United Auto
Workers' (UAW) support of the ERA
boycott, UAW President Douglas
Fraser stated, in part, "It is our hope
that the additional pressure that this
action places on the non-ERA states will
help them examine the issue fully and
quickly and that it will lead to ERA
passage. Our union has been a strong
supporter of ERA because we believe
that it is fair, equitable and just. .. UAW
holds hundreds of conferences each
year ... National conferences scheduled
for 1978 in the states where ERA has not
been ratified are being cancelled and
rescheduled in states where ERA has
passed.''

History huffs open new chapter in Eugene
by Frank Babcock
Eugene will soon have a new "Sheriff."
But after pinning on the star, he or she will
be _picking up a gave] instead of a six-gun.
This Sheriff will be the head of a new
Eugene chapter of Westerners International, a world-wide fellowship of western
history enthusiasts, dedicated to promoting
interest in the history of the American West.
The new Eugene chapter, which hopes to
convene next month, is actually an
outgrowth of a Portland chapter called the
'' Willamette Corral.'' Originally intended to
represent the entire Willamette Valley, the
Portland group has grown so rapidly since its
founding last spring that it now boasts SO to
75 members from the Eugene area.
According to Milt Madden, LCC American History instructor, those numbers and
the commuting distance to Portland have led
Eugene area members to the decision to
form a local group.
The Westerners are ''not just a stuffy
gathering of professors and scholars," says
Madden. According to a Westerners'
bu11etin, the group wants to include the
amateur in·its fold -- to bring the campus
"pro" and the town "buff" together. So it
created its organization in the mold of the
subject matter -- short on formalities and big
on the Western tradition of fun and
friendship.
From the• 'Home Ranch'' headquarters in
Tuscon, Arizona and throughout the 90
''Corrals'' (local chapters) around the globe,
the "Cowpokes" (gentlemen) and "Sidesaddlers" (ladies) of the membership
conduct their activities in a format that
a11ows an informal social gathering to

provide enjoyable erudition of Western lore.
A Westerners' meeting, then,_gets to its
purpose quickly. ''The Sheriff hlls it to
order, the minutes are read from the 'Brand
Book' and we're off," says Madden, a
Cowpoke in the Willamette Corral.
Madden says that since meetings are
often held in banquet rooms of restaurants, a
typical evening might consist of a dinner and
conversation highlighted by a presentation
or lecture on a western theme. "At a recent
meeting," recalls Madden, "a guy described a large air gun carried on the Lewis and
Clark Expedition. It was like a great big BB
gun ... they used it to kill small game and
scare the Indians.''
Though new to this area, Westerners
International is hardly a fledgling organization. Originally founded in 1944 in Chicago,
there are presently 90 Corrals registered -74 of which are distributed throughout the
United States, and 16 Corrals located in
several foreign countries including Japan,
Norway, England and Mexico. "Some of
those folks," says Madden, "like Cowboys
and Indians, too.''
Madden feels ~xposure to history in this
kind of atmosphere may serve to enhance
interest in local history. There are already
several established historical societies and
museums in Lane County and Madden
foresees members of the Westerners
becoming involved in those groups, if
they're not already. For further information

Cassette tapes are available at library
by Bob Edwards
The cassette tape collection in the LCC
library can tell you how to chart tooth decay,
drill you in a foreign language or help you
write a resume.
The dental department's use of cassette
tapes is unique. A student may check out a
package containing a dental chart and a set of
teeth with a matching cassette. The student
will then examine the teeth and mark the
chart while the tape describes the problems
of each tooth.
Ann Maxwell, a first year dental hygiene
student, says that this system is very helpful.
"It is more realistic when you can hear
someone describing the problems while you
are actually looking at the teeth," she says.
The heaviest use of cassette tapes is by
language students, for whom the library has
60-90 copies of each lesson. Students may
check out a tape and a tape machine, then
take them home and study at their
convenience. They may also use the tapes in
the library.
''The cassette tapes are absolutely
indispensable for outside oral work since
there are only four hours of class time per
week," says French instructor Ginny
Nelson. The tapes are a very important

supplement to the program, because they
provide audio reinforcement for the student,
she says.
Spanish instructor Arden Woods feels
that cassettes are extremely valuable in
exposing a student to the different
pronunciations of the Spanish language.
However, •' . . . some people feel that
cassette tapes w!Il destroy a person's ability
to read, but I choose not to worry about
that,'' says head librarian Del matheson. He
is attempting to make any of the library's
13,000 cassette tapes and 400 tape recorders
available to any student who wants to use
them.
Matheson says that some instructors will
tape a lecture that they will use every time
they teach a specific class. Instead of using a
class period to give the lecture, the instructor
will assign his or her students to listen to the
tape, thereby creating an extra class session
during the term.

many services

for all women
by Diana Gatchell
''A'' is for Awareness and Assertiveness,
"W" for Welfare in the bright yellow filing
cabinet in the Women's Awareness Center
which staff members have recently organized.
The 157 folders contain articles about
women's programs and issues of concern to
men and women. Anyone can fuse it.
This file aids staff members to accomplish
their goals of resource, referral and support
for students and staff at LCC and people in
the community. The Center is open for
anyone who needs information or just a
"friendly ear."
Centet staff members are updating and
reorganizing the three-year old article file
with help from the LCC library staff. The file
contains course outlines from other community colleges, and articles on other topics
like minority women, self-defense, returningtowork, ERA,andLesbianism. Copiesof
the articles are available.

Another file helping the Center to function
as a resource center contains cards with
phone numbers and addresses of agencies,
organizations and "help" throughout the
area. Subjects range from local counseling
services to temporary housing.
To be sure help is there when needed, the
Center now has one of 11 trained staff
members always available to lend an
"interested ear" or help solve a resource
problem. "Women come in and need maybe
five minutes of support before they go to
class,'' states student and staff member,
Izetta Hunter. "We are training the staff in
communication skills, feedback and just
plain 'howtolistenandgivesupport'. People
need that!"
Still another resource is the Center's 200
book library. '' I think the most popular books
are on feminism, sexism and daycare
centers," says Hunter. The library also
contains books on anthropology, education,
homemakers, human behavior, health,
history and liberation. Any book may be
checked out for a week.
•'This month we are taking care of our own
house," says Anne Stewart, coordinator of
Women's Programs, whose office is located
in the Women's Center. "We have
reorganized ourselves, started over, to make
the Center more useful to students and
community persons.''

Looking
for
something
speeial?

'' Some people are just not going to get the
information if it isn't on cassette tapes,"
says Matheson. If a person has impaired
vision, or if a person simply does not read
well, cassette tapes may be the only way he
or she will get certain information, he says.
The Communication Skills department,
housed just above the library, uses the
cassettes, along with information "pack-

ages'' to teach the steps involved in writing a
resume or a job inquiry. These tapes allow a
student to choose his or her own rate of
progress, while maintaining an auditory
reinforcement.
Matheson feels that the cassette tapes
have brought many people into the library
who normally would not enter to read a book.
However, he feels that there are still many
students who do not know that cassette
tapes, video tapes, slides and other media
equipment are available to them.
He urges any student who would like to
use this equipment to simply come through
the library doors and ask any staff member
for help.

'The Inspector Hound' offers family entertainment

by Jan Brown
If you like T. V.'s "Muppet Show" and the film "Murder By Death" you'll like LCC's
Performing Arts Department's "The Real Inspector Hound," directed by Stan Elberson .
''Hound'' is a satire about critics that most critics would not want to touch, except perhaps
in complimentary tones. It is a decent comedy but it is not for the theater-goer who relishes a
drama with depth and impact. "Hound" is light entertainment that people of all ages can
enjoy. The dialogue between the two critics involved is sophisticated, yet a younger audience
can decifer the meaning.
The critics, Moon and Birdboot are to review a play from their stage-side booth. It's an
Agatha Christie mystery taking place before.the audience. At one point a phone rings on the
stage, and Moon answers it, butthe call is for Birdboot. Birdboot goes on stage to answer the
call, and is drawn into the action of the Agatha Christie mystery.
Moon and Birdboot's dialogue, the nonsensical verbosity that critics often use, was
humorous. In contrast, the comical moments in the play they criticized achieved a number of
laughs throughout its actions, but none of the action was particularly original, just a series of
incidents strung together in the traditional style of farce.
Thomas Major as the critic Moon, created a snobbish pseudo-intellectual who seemed to
review plays as a way to vent his own creative frustration, and thus reap glory.
Dan Mayes' Bird boot, on the other hand, was an aging critic who used his powers of the
press as a means to seduce attractive ladies.
The transition of Birdboot from critic to participant in the mystery play did lessen the
believeability of the character, but then the play is a farce and not to be taken seriously.
The set of the production, 'Yith the exception of the box where Moon and Birdboot sit, is
bleak. A colorless gray-pink backdrop is, moreover, the only color used in the entire set for the
play within the play. Comedy can sometimes be more effective with the use of colorful
stimuli.
Helen Robinson as Mrs. Drudge, a cleaning woman, looked appropriately cartoonish, and
brought life and laughter to the drab set. But it was Tim Howard as Inspector Hound that
up.lifted the play. His entrance and energy worked favorably at a time when the play needed a
shot in the arm.
"Inspector Hound" is fine family entertainment, and can be seen Friday Feb. 10, and
Saturday Feb.11, at8p.m. Ticketsare$3 and are available at the Performing Arts box office.

Alarm sy stem might halt book thefts
(CPS) -- This book was stolen from
Harvard Library~ It was later recovered. The
~hief was sentenced to two years hard
labor.''
That benediction is stamped on the flyleaf
of 2500 books appropriated by a Harvard
student circa 1932. This year, another
light-fingered Harvardian was suspended
for purloining an estimated three to fiv~
thousand times .
Harvard isn't the only victim of library
larceny. Recent inventories revealed that in
a two-decade period , students copped
30,000 books from the University of
Maryland (College Park) and 15,000 from
the Claremont Colleges in California. A spot
check at the University of Nebraska
indicated a loss of 1800 volumes.
Students are fairly catholic in what books
they pilfer. A survey conducted by the
Chronicle of Higher Education indicated
that photography books, cook books,
manuals on drugs and sex, and specialized
law, medical and social science texts all tend
to have short shelf lives.
Even more serious is the sharp increase in
book mutilation. Rather than risk detection,
students simply remove the pages or articles
they wish to read. Last year, the library of
George Washington University, displayed a
collection of mutilated and battered books in
their lobby. A sign accompanying the
atrocities advised patrons that photocopying
was a mere 5 cents a page, whereas
replacement of a mutilated book ran
anywhere from $35 to $50 dollars. In

1974-75, mutilation and theft cost George
Washington $281,000 dollars .
Library officials are wary of assigning
dollar figures to the thefts. U. Nebraska
estimated a loss of $27,000 dollars. The
University of California at Berkeley feels
they lose about $100,000 annually.
Many libraries, hoping technology will
succeed where morality has failed, have
installed elaborate electronic detectors. If a
book isn't properly checked out, then a table
in the book triggers an alarm. According to
Lan Dyson, director of Berkeley' s Moffitt
Library, '' a good system should cut losses at
least 50 per cent. ''

Uof0- will exhibit color prints
EUGENE -- Color prints by photography
teacher, lecturer and writer Henry Holmes
Smith will be exhibited in the Photography
At Oregon Gallery, University of Oregon
Museum of Art, February 21-April 2. The
museum is open 12 noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday
through Sunday.
Born in 1909 at Bloomington, Illinois,
Smith began making photographs in 1923,
while also pursuing special interests in
cartooning, theater and writing. His first
color prints were made in 1933.
After intensive private work in color
theory, including teaching at the New
Bauhaus, Chicago, Smith was asked to join
the faculty of the Indiana University Art

Department faculty in 1947. Among his
credits there was development of the first
history of photography course in a college art
department in 1948. He retired from the
university this year.
Among the prints in the current exhibit are
Smith's color dye transfer prints of
' 'refraction drawings.''
Smith explains, " In ordinary practice a
lens and camera will generally picture a
lighted object in such a way that the object
takes on more importance than the light. I
would prefer to reverse the roles of light and
object by emphasizing light's behavior."
To do so Smith followed up on a suggestion
by a student in 1948 of allowing Karo syrup
and splashes of water to run down a sheet of
glass, causing light to refract and make
marks on photographic paper.
Smith's camera-less photography depicts
themes both from everyday life and the
world of myth and ancient legend.
The Photography At Oregon Gallery is
supported by a grant from the Oregon Arts
Commission , the City of Eugene Room Tax
Committee and private donations.

Post reporter to speak
at EMU ballroom
On Wednesday, February 15, at 7:30 p.m.
in the EMU Ballroom, the EMU Cultrual
Forum is presenting Robert G. Kaiser, a
foreign correspondent for the Washington
Post.
Kaiser's talk will focus on his three year
experience in Russia when he was the
Moscow correspondent for the Washington
Post from 1971 through 1974.
His most recent book, '' Russia, the
People and the Power," was published in
1976, and is about his residence in Moscow,
with his personal observations and interpretations of Soviet life.
His account is an in-depth study as well as
a sensitive recording of the unique
socio-cultural environment in Russia.
Contrary to meeting only " officials , " Kaiser
pursued friendships with artists, musicians,
writers, political dissidents, and others who
did not fear befriending an American
journalist.
The lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the
EMU Ballroom. It is free and open to the
public.

B.B. King u,as crown ed at EMV

by Tim Leonard
"It ought to be excellent" said a woman
waiting in line for the first show last Fridays
B. B. King concert at the U of O Erb Memorial
Ballroom. Her opinion was shared by the 850
person crowd who clapped their hands and
moved to the blues delivered by the master
himself, B.B. King.
To really get folks into the spirit the
Portland based Paul Delay Blues Band
opened the show. Between Delay's ability to
find the highs and lows in his harp work, and
the work of the band's-lead guitarist, they
warmed the crowd up nicely, and were

"Do it, do it." Then turning to the band he
said,' 'bear down.'' That they did and King ,
picking high and fast , had everyone with
him. The crowd joined hands to the master's
beat.
Once his face showed a flash of
dissatisfaction with a note , a grimace that
flashed as fast as his fingers. His fingers
were never faster. Looking down and feeling
blue, he would fade a note, than roar back
with total concentration and blinding notes.
Finishing one number he would wipe the
sweat from his brow, hitch up his pants,
stretch an arm and address the people .

Wilson, who was a musician for five years
and a record buyer for another six liked being
around music and found that working for a
concert systems company helped him fill a
need. •
''It's a creative job, that's why I like it. You
can be as good or as bad as you are."
The systems people used 300 amps of
electricity to provide the sound. In addition
to the technical aspects which involve the
size of the hall, they also make allowances for
the color coded lighting possibilities.
"It's all ad lib," Wilson explained. "I
haven't seem King for four years otherwise
I'd establish a pattern ifl' d seen a group for a
cou pie of nights in a row."
The lights, over which Wilson had control,
consisted of 1000 watts per bulb with a total
of 24,000 wattage. Wilson, throughout the
e".ening, would vary the lighting with the
sound to keep pace while changing direction
along with the music.
The place cleared. The line for the second
show had long since formed. The first two
women stood with tickets in hand. They led a
line of crushed bodies waiting for the master
to take them flying so high, so low into the
realm of blues and feelings. The light and
sound men relaxe<l.

Clowns, performing animals, magicians,
jugglers, story-tellers and pole balancers are
all on the program for the completely new
1977-'78 edition of THE ROYAL LICHTENSTEIN QUARTER-RING SIDEWALK CIRCUS. This year's performance of fifteen
different acts will feature Mitch Kincannon
of the University of Montana in a
demonstration of extra-sensory perception;
mime-comic Jim Jackson from the University of St. Louis; and ringmaster Nick Weber

Peppy.
In addition, the troupe will present two
narrated mime fables. In the first, '' Sack Full
of Joy," a slightly remarkable young man
frees a neighborhood from paralytic fear
with the gift of music. Then, in "Time Out of

eewarded by generous applause.
King's band started out slow and soft. One
of the two saxophone players picked up the
tempo, holding the long notes and then
coming back for a quick run up and down the
keys. He took off on series of rising and
falling sensations and the audience happily
followed him.
Then the master appeared, resplendent in
white, walkingtallandgracefu lly. He bowed
and raised "Lucille," his guitar, to tune
" her."
He began gently, as though plucking the
air, and stroked the strings to bring out the
sounds of barks and howls. His left hand,
high on "Lucille's" neck remained motionless. Suddenly the fingers flashed. Retune.
Flashing again. Another fine tune. '' Start
out on that,'' he said, turning to the keyboard
man , as he provided sound directions.
Looking out over the audience, coming alive
with his lead, he acknowledged the
enthusiastic crowds.
Playing close and low to the base of his
guitar's neck, King found that one sure note
and threw back his head. Then he changed
the tempo to a slower pace and brought in the
rest of the musicians.
' 'I've been downhearted since the day we
met. The answer's right here in my heart.
How blue can you get? People ask me why I
play the blues. I've been around a long time
and have really paid my dues,'' he told his

A student may appeal an allegedly
undeserved grade through a formal college
procedure.
The LCC Student Grievance Procedure is
designed to allow students to appeal those
grades which are issued in direct conflict
with a stated school or class policy.
However, the appeals process is not
unilateral, according to LCC Director of
Admissions Bob Marshall.
'' A grade itselfis probably one of the more
difficult things to appeal,'' Marshall said in a
recent interview. ''The awarding of a grade
is the prerogative of the instructional staff.
Unless the student can show that the grade
was inappropriately given, or given in
conflict with a stated college policy, there is
really little chance for a student to appeal
successfully.
"For instance, if the instructor at the
beginning of the term says that grades will
not be affected by attendance, and then you
don't go to class four or five times and the
instructor deducts 10 points from your score
because you weren't there -- that would be a
conflict of policy, and you would have
recourse (to the grievance process) in this
case."
Marshall emphasized, however, that
simply not agreeing with an issued grade is
not considered grounds for appeal. "It
would be extremely difficult for any group of
people to judge a student's output against
that of the other members of a class, in order
to determine which grade should have been
issued," he said.

interest was the alleged abduction of Barney
and Betty Hill in 1961. The couple were
vacationing in New Hampshire when they
were brought aboard what they said was an
extraterrestrial vehicle. The Hills never
consciously remembered the experience on
board the vehicle until placed into a hypnotic
state.
Harder, who is the current hypnotistinvestigator of the Hill case, explains his
theory of the Hill case. "H there are two
people who had more or less the same kind of
experience, like the Hills', and if, in hypnotic

Step S: Appeal on the record to Board of Education.

Marshall is a member of the LCC
Academic Council which is one of the
appellate bodies of the grievance procedure.
He said that the Course Information Sheet
issued at initial meetings of a class is an
important factor in determining whether or
not a formal class policy has been broken. He
said "(The information sheets) are a
safeguard for the students, so that they
know, in advance, how policies are going to
be applied in a particular case. Because
there may not be consistency in grading
policies from one class to another, we can't
expect a student to be kept aware of such
conflicting policies unless the information
sheets are available."

The grievance process as it is operated at
LCC is designed to allow ample opportunity
for either side of a dispute to air its evidence.
As a result, a single case may take as long as
two or three months before it is resolved.
''You have to make sure that each party has a
certain amount of time to present its
evidence, and the names of their witnesses
and testimony.
"Whatever one party provides as
evidence," he continued, "we then have to
duplicate and give to the other party. By tht..
time we go through all that, it's a long
procedure; it's not something that can be
resolved in a week or so," Marshall said.

person hypnotized, and still come up with
essentially the same story, it seems the most
likely explanation is that they are remembering something which is real."
The basis for Harder' s beliefthat hypnosis
is a valuable tool lies in the structure of the
mind. Under hypnosis people are able to
remember with increased intensity _things
that they·thought they had forgotten.
Basically the scientist believes that the
only reasonable thing a person can do is
make observations which in turn, leads to a
hypothesis made from the observed
phenomena. According to Harder, it is true
that UFOs have been seen with considerable
more frequency in those parts of the country
where there have been air bases or large
airports. Many sightings have been reported
around the White Sands Missile Training
Grounds in New Mexico and there is some
evidence, of reported sightings around
atomic installations.
Harder says that we haven't had much
change in the last 30 years concerning the
possibility of intended messages from UFO
craft. ''If the past is a guide to the future it
doesn't look like there is much likelihood for
communication with other creatures," he
said.
In his speech this week, Harder will

discuss the experiences of people who have
had close encounters, which he claims are
not necessarily the same types of experiences depicted in the recent movie, "Close
Encounters of the Third Kind.'' He has
investigated some 30 reported abduction
cases and will speak about the better known
ones, such as the Hill case.
He feels that the impo.r tant implications
for the future of the human race is not for
people to put their heads into sand hoping
that whatthey have seen doesn't exist, but to
rather seize the opportunity to learn more.
There is the possibility of learning about
cultures which, in his view, may have
co-existed with scientific technology for 10 or
100,000 years. They must have had some
chance, he believes, to deal with some of the
pressing problems that we are now facing.
Maybe, Harder hopes, they might help
provide solutions which would prove
.
helpful.

The LCC recycling program has begun
again according to Elaine Kempenich,
recycling coordinator of the Student
Resource Center. The recycling program is
under the auspices of tht:? ASLCC.
The program stopped in the fall due to a
lack of personnel and inadequate organization. Student coordinators hope to be more
dependable in the future. They now have a
regular schedule, pickup locations and a
crew. They encourage work-study people to
assist them in collecting items left for
recycling.
The purpose of the program is to educate
people about recycling items and to
participate in the activities. Monies earned
through recycling pays for the hand truck
and bins, with the "Student Creativity
Fund" receiving the balance.
At the present time many locations on
campus are available for people to deposit
recyclables. The Center building has barrels
in the basement outside Printing and
Graphics, outside the Student Resource
Center and on the fourth floor along the
yellow wall. Pickup at those locations is
Tuesday.
Barrels can be found in the Applied· Art
building, around rooms 202-205, in the
Electronics building, and the main study
area of the science department. The Adult
education and drafting facility has a location
outside special education room 225.
In the Mass Communication building
there are places for recyclable articles in the
Forum (third floor) and next to the KLCC
teletype machine (second floor). The Health
and P.E. building has a barrel outside
business room 201. The Administration area
has one under the community services
plaques behind the xerox machine on the
lower level.
The math and science areas are picked up
on Tuesdays. All others are scheduled for
Thursdays.
There are some basic guidelines of what
constitutes recyclable and non-recyclable
items.
White and colored ledger paper: This
includes typing, notebook, xerox, mimeo,
steno, and ditto paper, but not masters.
Paper may have staples but not rubber
bands, paper clips, carbon or NCR
self-carbon. White and pastel colored
envelopes without cellophane windows may
also be included.
Books and brochures, candy wrappers,
carbon and NCR self-carbon, catalogs,
cellophane, chewing gum and wrappers,
ditto masters, backing sheets, envelopes of
jiffy, unopened or window varieties are not
acceptable.
In addition to the barre] placements,
storage bins are located below the food
service area outside the Center building.
Anyone with questions pertaining to the
recycling program can either contact
Kempenich in the SRC or Jim Walpole,
president of Northwest Recycling Inc., at 409
High Street, Eugene, 485-1441.

Grappkrs lose twice but
Randazzo stays unbeaten
by John Healy
Although the men's wrestling team won
only one of two dual wrestling meets last
week, two Titans enjoyed exceptional
success as individuals.
Dennis Randazzo and Joe McFadden won
twice apiece to help LCC to a 40-22 dual win
over Blue Mtn. and a respectable 31-19 loss to
defending Oregon Community College
(OCCAAA) champion Central Oregon.
Even more impressive was the caliber of
competition that Randazzo and McFadden
faced.
Randazzo, a 126 pounder, crushed former
Class AA state champion Dennis Stewart by
an 11-2 margin last Friday against Blue Mt., ·
then McFadden defeated defending league
champion Rod Hamption from Central
Oregon at 142 pounds by a 6-1 count.
The Titans easily handled Blue Mtn., as
Randazzo's and McFadden's wins coupled
with forfeit victories by Rick Klohn (190) and
Vance Lewis (Hwt) assured LCC of a victory.
Janes Stejakal drew at 158 pounds, Jim
Randazzo (118) lost 20-11, and Doug Marbes

(134) was defeated 14-6 in the only other
matches that were wrestled.
Much more impressive was LCC's
performance against Central Oregon, a team
that has never lost a dual meet to another
OCCAA school.
forfeit win at 118 pounds, then brother
Dennis won handily to put the Titans on top
10-0. Marbes pinned his opponent at 4: 11,
McFadden won his matcli with league
champ Hampton, and it looked like an upset
in the making.
Unfortunately, LCC's 19-0 lead didn't
hold up under the combined weight of two
forfeits and tough wrestling by Central
Oregon.
The Titans forfeited at 150 and 158
pounds, Christian was crushed 14-2,
Stejskal fell to a 13-2 defeat, Klohn was
overwhelmed 17-6, and in the night's final
match, Lewis was pinned in the second
period.
Umpqua visits LCC tonight at 7 p.m. for a
league match. Saturday, February 18, the
Titans travel to Bend for the OCCAA
Championships.

fastbreak opportunities, most of them good
for a field goal or a foul.
Said Thompson, "They're a super team,
but I think we'll give them a tough game
when they come down here."
Sounds like a new Civil War is in the
making.

LANE 65, MT. HOOD 47
The Titans won the first round in the
all-important battle for second place in the
NCWSA.
Only two teams from the four member
NCWSA advance to the regional tournament
in Gresham next month, and according to
preseason forecasts by Thompson, either
Mt. Hood or LCC will join Clark in
post-season competition.
Friday night may have decided who's
staying home.
LCC jumped into its usual early lead
against Mt. Hood, going up by a 10-0 margin
in the initial minutes of the first half on
buckets by four different players.
They eventually built the lead to 13, at
21-8, on a long outside basket by Smith.
The Saints forced their way back into the
game after Smith's bucket, closing to within
23-20.
Mt. Hood scored the last three points of
the half to draw within one, 28-27, at
intermission.
The Titans, after having straightened out
what Thompson called ''inconsistencies'' in
their first halfof play, scored the opening two

buckets of the second half to take a 32-27
lead.
Seemingly unhampered by her injured
back, Corkum scored on a lay-in after Baltzer
won the opening tip, then Baltzer forced up a
rebound for another score.
LCCstill led by five, 38-33, when theTitans
went on a 16-4 tear.
Two fastbreak opportunities and a steal at
midcourt brought the Titans six points, then
Baltzer hit a jumper from the middle of the
key and Lisa Melevin banged through a bank
shot on a floating drive to the hoop.
Finally, Melevin converted a fastbreak for
two points, Kathy Pearson canned a baseline
jumper off a three on two fastbreak, and
Baltzer sank a turnaround jumper.
Almost nonchalantly, the Titans had
turned a tight contest into an uncontested
romp.
"We had a really good second half,"
admitted Thompson. '' We were patient, ran
well, and everyone got a chance to play.''
Tammy Walker had another outstanding
game, scoring only one point but pulling
down 10 rebounds, and Baltzer was simply
awesome, as she poured through 15 points (7
of 12 field goals) and grabbed a game-high 14
rebounds.
Corkum, who seems to get better every
time she comes back from an injury, scored
10 points, had 10 rebounds, and dished out
five assists. Melevin hit for 12 points and
Smith hit for 10 points to give the Titans' four
players in double figures.

Counselor headed for Boston Marathon
John Bem-ham will join 2,000 others
as he challenges America's
"Granddaddy Marathon"
by Steve Myers
photos by Jeff Patterson
"My feet were bleeding. I could see
the blood soaking through my shoes ...
after awhile I had other pains ... in my
muscles, they were so painful that my
feet didn't hurt as much."
This scene occurred at the Trails End
Marathon in Seaside, Oregon two years
ago in February. This was LCC
counselor John Bernham 's first attempt
at running a marathon and, according to
him, he had serious doubts about ever
ru'nning another one.
Last November the 44 year old
Bernham entered and ran in the
Portland Marathon. The race was held
in North Portland. It started at the
University of Portland and extended to
Kelly Point (the point where the
Columbia and Willamette Rivers meet)
and then back to the finish line at the
University of Portland again. Bernham
ran the 26-mile 385-yard course"in three
hours and 27 minutes and 32 seconds.
By so doing he qualified to run in
America's most prestigious marathon the Boston Marathon.
Since Bern ham is over 40 years of age,
to qualify he had to run the race under
three and a half hours. Runners under
40yearsold, must run a sub-three hour
time. Qualifying is not easy and neither
is funding a trip to Boston.
''I think I'll go if I can get the money
together and other problems worked
out. I'm in training for the race right
now. I want to finish in under three and a
half hours since that's when the finish
.line closes,'' said a solemn faced
Bernham.

Bernham is an academic counselor at
LCC and is involved with students and
their problems all day long. He feels that
running can help alleviate the tensions.
He began his running career as a 100
and 220 yard sprinter at Lewis and Clark
High School in Spokane, Washington.
In college ('52-'56), at the now defunct
Cascade College of Portland, Bernham
ran a 10.2 second 100 yard dash. When
he went to graduate school, he left
running and pursued other sports, like
,golf, tennis, motorcycle riding and
mountain climbing. He has climbed
Mount Hood, North Sister and Mount
Jefferson. One time he was trapped on
the saddle between North and Middle
Sister for a night and barely made it
down the next morning. Bernham likes
hard work and physical activities. His
wife Peggy has a different attitude
about his hobbies. "I worry about him a
lot ... '' she said._''The things he does
are dangerous."
After a six or seven year layoff from
running, he decided it was time to, as he
puts it, "Make a commitment" to
running.
"It's a personal challenge. I like
things that are a challenge. I like things
that are hard. I like things that are
physical," points out Bernham. "It
makes me feel good."
That's why he has kept his 20 year old
physique. His muscles bulge from
underneath his clothes. He is a medium
sized man about 5'9" tall, soft spoken,
almost overly polite. But he's a tough
runner.

''When I got started running again,
about 15 years ago, I could only run a
quarter of a mile, so I would run a
quarter, walk a quarter, run, walk ...
until I could go two miles without
stopping ..Then I said 'if I can do two I can
do four' and sure enough, I could."
According to Bernham, a runner
climbs the ladder until hitting six
miles,'' then it's just a matter of getting
your mileage in each week."
Bernham was content to be just a
jogger until two years ago when LCC
chemistry instructor Steve John and
science instructor Mike Mitchel, two of
his friends, started running marathons
and he was not about to be left out.
'' John is an excellent runner,''
- commente~ Steve John. "He's very,
very competitive, but mainly with
himself for his own goals. He is
incredible when it comes to strength and
stamina. He can put hard workouts back
to back."
'' I tell people my evil companions got
me started running marathons,'' chuckled the muscular Bernham. "Three of
my friends were enjoying running
marathons and I thought if they can do
it, so can I.
"Runners aren't generally lonely
people," reflected Bernham. "I don't
run much by myself. I like to run with
somebody.To help take my mind off the
hurting. It all depends on what you're
willing to do."

sure, the younger guys will be the world
record holders, but older guys can run as
well as 30 year olds if they work at it.''
Bernham and his friends train four to
five days a week mostly during his lunch
hour in preparation for a marathon.
They run nine to 12 miles a day for an
average of about 60 miles a week -that's the equivalent of running to
Aibany and ·back.
.. When we run, we try to keep our
mile pace to eight minutes, since that's
basically what we run in a race .
Sometimes we go faster; sometimes we
don't."
While running and training for
Marathons Bernham wears a runner's
wrist watch. It has a press button that
transforms the watch' s secondhand into
a stopwatch so he can keep his mile
times at the right pace.
This type of relentless training went
,k> two months before the Portland
Marathon , but the day before the
26-mile race , Bernham took it easy and
did not run ; instead he ate a spaghetti

Then he relaxes for an hour.
''I sit and watch T.V., and try not to
think about it. An hour before the race, I
like to get to the starting point, where I
can loosen up with stretching exercises
and short jogs.''
In the few minutes right before the
race Bernham adjusts his equipment .
"Before the Portland race, I didn't
have time to adjust my shoelaces
because I was late getting to the starting

Bernham says the conditions for the

Women hoopsters split two league games
by John Healy

~•

Following the progress of the women's
basketball team is a lot like riding a
rollercoaster.
You never know if you're up or down.
Following a pattern that has been
prevalent all season, the Titans stumbled
badly and were beaten by Clark Junior
College 88-62 last Wednesday night, then
rebounded for a crucial 65-47 win over Mt.
Hood last Friday at LCC.
The Titans are currently in second place
with a 2-1 record (6-6 overall) in the
Northwest Conference Women's Sports
Association (NCWSA) following their two
league games last week. Clark is leading the
NCWSA by a game.

team's offensive and defensive strategy.
Such was the case when the Titans were
blown out 88-62 by Clark Junior College- in
Vancouver., Wa. last Wednesday.
LCC women's basketball coach Sue
Thompson put it simply. ''They were by far
the best team we have faced this year."
Relying on a superbly executed fastbreak
offense, Clark turned a 40-29 halftime lead

away.
Thompson was somewhat pleased with
her team's defensive efforts, especially
against Clark's two outstanding guards,
Ruth Peake and Joyce Robertson.
''The two were averaging42 points a game
before they played us,'' she explained, '' and
we held them down to 30."
But Clark's starting forward line made the
most of LCC's pressure against Robertson

my mind. 'Am I going to finish?' 'What
am I doing here?' At 20 miles it really
takes a toll. Muscles start to tighten up.
''The last six miles are sheer agony. I
wonder if I can.take three more steps?
And I've got 50 more minutes to run.
''The only way to describe it is agony.
Your mind says 'what are you doing?'
Your body says 'lie down,' another part
of your mind says 'you've put out all this
energy, keep going.' Yet I wonder if I'll
ever make it to the end."
But the end is a scene of joy and
fatigue. "I'm exuberant that I've
finished," said Bernham. "Last time, in
Portland, I was pretty sick ... I had
reached inside, deep inside, for every
ounce of stamina, strength, speed and
energy. I was dizzy and disoriented.
"That's the only race I've seen him
finish," added wife Peggy. "I'm very
glad for him, but I'm also worried about
his condition. He didn't look very
good.''
Bernham has run three marathons in
his life. Twice at the Trails End
Marathon in Seaside, Oregon and one in
Portland. Two times he has clocked in
under three and a half hours. Besides
running just to finish, he has other
reasons for his avid affair with running.
"Running to me is therapeutic.
Counselling is a high energy output job.

Legal or illegal drug abuse still popular on campus
by Dr. Staywell and Staff of St udent Health Services
As an "average" student at LCC your days are likely to be frequently spent in a
drug-induced state of alertness, euphoria, ''spaced-out-ness," relaxation or speediness.
The effects are obtained, in order of mention above, from the caffein in coffee, the
nicotine in cigarettes, the cannibis in marijuana, the chemical compounds in Valium , and
the chemical compounds in amphetamines.
If you are seeing unworldly beings and things, chalk those up to such hallucinogenic
drugs as LSD or psilocybin, the latter from Oregon grown mushrooms.
These are just a few of the effects or impressions that easily available over-the-counter
or illicit drugs, in combination with your body chemistry, may be giving you. (But only you
know what your exact responses are.)
That you are quite effectively drugging yourself is documented by a survey recently
conducted of University of Oregon st udents by the Drug Information Center.
.
The survey found that:
• 64 per cent of students are "frequent" (daily or several times weekly) users of
caffeine.
• 31 per cent are frequent users of alcohol and 51 per cent use alcohol moderately (once
or more monthlv).
•27 per cent use marijuana fre quently and 28 per cent moderately.
• 23 per cent smoke frequently and 9 per cent moderately.
• 7 percent use cocaine, amphetamines or barbiturates moderately.
• 4 per cent use psilocybin moderately.
• 3 per cent use tranquilizers moderately.
If these figures are eye-opening, they probably only represent the tip of the drug
iceberg. Not reflected in them, of course, are such everyday non-prescription drug
•products as vitamin supplements, laxatives, cold remedies, weight control products,
deodorants, summer suntan lotion, dry skin and dandruff products, etc. ad. inf.
'' A chemical technology literally surrounds us,'' write the authors of the Drug
Information Center's "Drug Information Primer." "From the coloring and processing
agents in our foods to the medicines and social drugs used for health reasons, we are
consciously, at best, or unconsciously, at least, ingesting numerous chemicals. Few
people choose nothing.''
Why do students take drugs? Clearly, there are risks associated with most drugs,
especially the mood-altering ones in the University of Oregon survey. Physical or at least
psychological dependencies can result from continued drug use. Poisoning,
mat-adjustment to work, home, school and family, psychotic behavior, strokes or
coronaries, etc. may be caused by drugs.

But clearly, the risks seem worth it to many students.
Deep-rooted psychological or diverse social factors may account for the drug use by
some, but social scientists are noting that today's students, rather than being
underprivileged, are affluent, optimistic and success-oriented. Some likely reasons, for
drug use then according to Helen H. Nowliss in ''Youth and Drugs,'' are:
• A way of helping students deal with the myriad role and value changes occurring
between childhood and adulthood.
• A chance to get out of the "rat race" temporarily.
• A widespread and intense belief in the power of medication conditioned since birth.
• The deterioration of patient-doctor relationships which tends to encourage more
self-treatment.
• Students growing up in a culture which takes risks for granted and suggests that risks
are necessary for achievement.
• The need for spiritual and mystical experience in an increasingly secular society.
• And, or course, the same reasons why adults use drugs: Change of pace, change of
mood, reduction of anxiety, for a pick-up, to combat fatigue, to relieve tensions, to relieve
boredom, to facilitate social interaction , to sleep and just for fun.
Several resources exist for LCC students who are experiencing problems with drugs.
TheLCCcounselingstaffisavaila bletostudentsfrom 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through
Thursday andfrom8a.m. toSp.m. Friday. You are encouraged to contact them about any
drug concern you have. The Counseling Center is located on the second floor of the Center
Building. (Counselors' offices are located in many of the departments such as Business,
Science and Language Arts.)
The Student Health Service in Room 126 of the Center Building, open from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 12 p.m . on Fridays, has many pamphlets
available on drugs available to students. Credit students can talk with the staff doctor for
free consultation about drug uses and their effects .
The Drug Information Center at 16 78 Columbia on the University of Oregon campus is a
community agency involved in identifying and researching drugs. D.I.C. has a free,
anonymous drug analysis service. The D.I.C. is also involved in community education,
publishing and training.
Lane County's Drug Abuse Program at 1839 Garden Avenue provides outpatient
services to local residents over 18 who have been using drugs chronically for six months or
more. Two basic treatments exist: "Drug-free" and methadone maintenance. Drug use
must constitute a person's primary problem ~nd program participants must be able to
handle therapeutic situations.
Next week's Apple Booth will have materials and expertise available on the drugs topic,
so look for it on campus.
