since departed to studies and sleep. •
The campus appears to be asleep, but
people are working around the clock. We see
them during the day and into the afternoon
but rarely at night when they prepare the
buildings for use.
They are the custodians, the unsung
workers who keep LCC looking respectable
after people have distributed debris from
one end to the other.
There are three shifts of workers taking
careofthecampus. The day begins underthe
direction of Custodial Manager Ken
Johnson. His crew of 10 people are mainly
concerned with cleaning the carpets and
windows. A manager for three years and
former swing-shift foreman, Johnson had
this to say about his responsibility. '' A lot of
our duties on days is moving furniture,
off-campus deliveries and pickups. We have
custodians on days called Custodians II who
are trained in workshops on windows and
carpets .''
"They know their job," says Johnson,
commending his crew, ''being on days you
need a crew able to work around people, to
help people with directions in case they get
lost."
Besides carpets and windows the day crew
has other tasks. Four men come in on
Saturdays to do carpets; others set up for
banquets and weekend athletic events. Day
people are also responsible for cleaning the
classrooms every Friday at the flight
instruction location at Mahlon Sweet
Airport. The Siuslaw Center in Florence also

comes under their jurisdiction, where they
clean the carpet twice a year in addition to
removing and replacing furniture.
With between 70-75 restrooms on
campus, cleaning is a full time job. "We
have a pattern of work,'' Johnson explained.
The restrooms are disinfected for 48 hours
and someone is back within 24 hours
mopping and cleaning. One woman cleans
the women's restrooms for her eight hour
shift, replacing towels, clearing plugups,
cleaning the counters, and refilling soap
dispensers.
Two men check every restroom every
afternoon prior to evening classes to ensure
cleanliness. Five days a week a student
worker is employed from 11-2 to sweep and
mop the brick areas of the cafeteria to assure
cleaner areas for the arrival of night
students.
Johnson has some advice for students and
faculty regarding what they can do to help
make his crew's job a little easier. "Pouring
coke or coffee down drinking fountains is
very unsanitary. Smoking in carpeted areas
leads to problems and scratched grafitti in
restrooms means repainting and extra
expense.'' He thanks people considerate in
their use of facilities, some even referring to
LCC custodians by name.

.. We are convinced," the NAACP's

evidence is overwhelming that the primary
fuels that supply our homes, factories,
farms, transportation systems, and commercial establishments are rising in cost at
an alarming rate ... Our ability to supply the
demand for oil and natural gas from
domestic sources is diminishing ... There "
appears to be a myriad of governmental
constraints on the production and use of coal,
our most abundant domestic fuel source, and
nuclear power. Efforts to develop alternative
sources of energy are confronted with severe
problems of raising the necessary capital in
light of the many uncertainties regarding
governmental policies.''

It is important to support a pro-life

Editor's note: This cartoon, reprinted from the New Solidarity newspaper, satirizes the responses to two actions by the NAACP this year: One action (which drew criticism from prominent black
leaders such as Coretta King and Vernon Jordan) was the rebuttal to President Carter's energy conservation plan; the other was the NAACP objection to the Humphrey-Hawkins bill, which the
NAACP maintains would not guarantee meaningful humanizing employment, but would return the black community to a form of"slave labor." Cartoonist Sloan overstates the criticism. but
the point is more obvious in such satire.

be to us incompatible wit\1 the need for new

Film Review by Jan Brown
Mel Brooks,. who wrote, produced,
directed and acted in '' High Anxiety,''
wants to make people laugh, but he also
wants to make statements about certain
human conditions. In his past films he has
commented on immortality (in ••young
Frankenstein"), bigotry (in "Blazing Saddles"), and success in "The Producers. "
In his latest film , "High Anxiety,"
currently at the Valley River Twin, Brooks
takes an insightful crack at the psychiatric
profession. Brooks portrays Dr. Thorndike ,
a Harvard professor. and psychiatrist that
has been hired to direct the Psycho-Neurotic
Institute for the Very, Very Nervous. But
Thorndike has his own neurosis; he suffers
from high anxiety. His head reels in a fit of
vertigo when he is shown the view from his
office- balcony.
And he has other problems as the asylum
director. It comes in the form of Nurse
Deisel (Goris Leachman), the assistant
director of the Institute. She fears the
presence of Thorndike, and with the
assistance of Dr. Montague (Harvey
Korman) attempts to hide the awful truth.
Nurse Deisel is a sex-crazed sadist that is
bent on keeping well patients in the Institute
so that she can tap their vast fortunes.

Roger McGuinn's style hasn't changed
much in 10 years. The leader of the defunct

forces with another ex-Byrd, Gene Clark, for
a two day engagement at The Place. Over
two hundred people attended the Sunday
evening concert.
The pair arrived on stage and sang some
old favorites , including Pete Seeger's
"Turn, Turn, Turn, " a song that the Byrds

In one of "High Anxiety's" laughable
scenes Thorndike sums up the works of
Freud. He is analyzing penis envy from a
podium for the benefit of a group of
psychiatric conventioneers. In the mtddle of
the word ''Penis'' he suddenly notices two
young girls in the audience. He cleans it up
by changing the word to "pee-pee envy."
' 'Anxiety'' is a nutty movie with laughs all
the way. Brooks calls the film " a tribute to
Alfred Hitchcock,'' and draws on some of
Hitchcock's most successful films for its
insane humor.
The film is rated PG. It is difficult for a
parent to use discretion or guidance in
choosing a film they haven't seen. And this is

The audience, whom Clark referred to as
"a bunch of nice people" responded to each

audience response seemed as uninspired as
the music they heard. It was as if they had

PhD graduates search everywhere for jobs • • •
by Sarah Jenkins
"In the education business it's
important to maintain the fiction that
there are plenty of places to go with a
degree. Andi t 's true, there are plenty of
places -- teaching, business, breadlines. "

-- Bob, a U of O Ph.D.
By 1985, there will be over half a
million people in the United States who
hold Ph .D. degrees -- almost 200,000 of
those (over 35 per cent) will be
unemployable in their chosen fields. For
the estimated 521,600 applicants , there
will be only 330,000 jobs .
When the US Bureau of Labor
published those figures in Science
magazine in January, 1976, it was
talking about statistics -- not people ,
- just numbers.
But in Eugene, with a continuing crop
of Ph.D. ' scomingfromthe U of 0 , there
are a lot of people who show that
statistics don 't lie .

Bob is one of the statistics . He and
others asked not to be identified in this
story (Bob isn't even his first name}
because having a Ph.D. is handicap
enough while seeking employment.
With a Ph.D. in speech communication,
he is currently looking for a job in
Eugene and writing 1,500 words a day
on an adventure novel. "Academia,"
according to Bob, '' makes a great deal of
money by maintaining the fiction that a
masters or doctorate degree is a ticket to
success .''
If he is anything, Bob is a realist .
' ' Existing educators have a vested
interest in turning out masters and
doctorate candidates ,'' he said with the
authority of one who knows . He taught
at a mid-western university for a few
years before returning to Eugene , so he
can see the situation both as an educator
and as a student . "Some educators,
even many , have ethics, as well ," he
continued , "so there is obviously a
conflict . I don 't admire their problem ,
but then I don 't admire their solution .

either,'' he declared evenly. ''Their
solution is not saying or doing
anything."
Mark is also a realist. He received his
English Ph.D. in 1975 from the U of 0,
and he has spent the last three years
applying for teaching positions all over
the country. '' I collected around 500
rejection slips ... it got to be depressing.
It doesn 't matter if you' re second or 130
on thE: list. I kept coming so close and
missing . . . I know I'm good at
teaching ."
Mark likes to talk about teaching. ''I
went to graduate school because I
wanted to teach. The money and the
social status of a teacher were factors,
but mainly I just liked teaching -- the
interaction, the learning process. " He
did teach in junior high school, for a year
at LCC, and part-time at the U of 0. But
finally , he realized , "the other places I
was applying to were places I would
make a point to never send my children.
' 'One of the reasons you finally
quit ," he added slowly , "is that you

philosophy , and he cuts a mean head of hair. His current goal in life is to be
booked up six weeks in advance. We all make our adjustments."
-- Linda Kilgore, Ph .D.

Linda Kilgore knows about adjustments. As an Honor's College graduate
with a BA, MA , and Ph .D. in English (all from the U of 0) , her job as a clerk in
the LCC Student Records office may be a classic example of
over-qualification. But she has adjusted to it . '' Anyone who thinks Ph.D.' s are
in an ivory tower ," she declares with a straight face , "should come into
Student Records and rephrase the question.''
She has also adjusted her goals as a teacher. ''When I started college (in the

part-time at LCC and it do~sn.'..t quite meet the goals she had set for herself '' I
don't know how happy i. would have been if my life had gone as I always
expected it to go -- you know, get a little job at a little university somewhere
and teach nine classes a week in contemporary fiction and advanced
composition. Grade a lot of papers and read a lot of books and go to little
wine-tasting parties. It was what I assumed would happen and it never
occured to me to resist it.''
Linda has decided now that the time has come to resist. The oak bookcase in
the dining room of her South Hills' home displays Linda's leather-bound
doctorate dissertation, ' ' A Critical Study of Elizabeth Bowen's Novels

Encyclopedia of Games,'' ''Party Games,'' and ''Games'' by Bancroft. The
cluttered table is covered with a mixture of Writing 121 compositions, waiting
to be graded, and Parker Brother's shipping orders. Linda is at home with the
contrast. She and her husband, Dennis (an LCC TV Production student} have a
new passion.
In late February the Kilgores will open Endgames, a games store for adults,
on the Eugene Mall. Thell Linda will leave the "real" world of the Student
Records office for the "real" world of the self-employed shop owner.
'' It really comes down to having decided to put into action what we thought
someone around here ought to be doing , " Linda explained easily.
The shop, at 1040 Willamette St. (right across from LCC's Downtown
Center}, was originally Dennis' idea.' 'Dennis is a 'war gamer' and war games
are hard to come by in this town," Linda explained. "There are literally

can only couvince yourself for so long
that you' re OK and the rest of the world
is screwed up. ''
Mark works for a printing firm in
Eugene as "sort of a salesman. I'm
doing a lot of creative stuff ... it's a good
job,'' he stated. But there was hesitancy
in his voice. '' I guess I can sum it up this
way: Iwouldn'tdothejobl'mdoing now
for less money, but I WOULD teach for
less."
Linda Kilgore went tc the U of O with
Mark.' 'We used to hang out together at
the conventions where the job givers
and the supplicants meet,'' she
explained .
Linda has worked as a clerk in the LCC
Student Records office for almost two
years , and as a part-time English
instructor since September. But she is
leaving that dual role to open a games
store, Endgames, with her husband ,
Dennis .
Linda doesn 't see the change as
drastic. '' The move from academics is
already an established fact . I'm ari

hundreds , maybe thousands, of titles of war games, and the couple of places
that sell them here have maybe a dozen or so .'' Engames will carry ' ' lots and
lots of them," according to Linda. The games " Highway to the Reich , "
"Terrible Swift Sword ," "Waterloo" (in seven or eight versions), " The
German Assault on Crete,'' ''Chicamonga, '' ''The Kingmaker'' (the War of ·
• the Roses) , and ' 'The Tet Offensive'' will all be carried, along with futuristic
games such as ''The Sino-Soviet War' ' (with the option of nuclear weapons)
and "The Canadian Civil War" (featuring Quebec against the rest of
Canada}.
Dennis described these games as "simulation combat games" which are
played on terrain maps designed to match actual physical conditions of the
battlefields.
The initial idea, according to Linda, was strictly a war games store, but
"when we started talking about it, I wasn't much interested in war games ,
although I liked other games. And it just spread."
The spreading includes dominoes, backgammon sets , Mah Jong , cribbage
boards, puzzles, playing cards, poker chips, chess sets, and chessmen .
''Chess is another industry that's lightly represented in Eugene. The
people who carry chess do so because they have to," Linda concluded .
''In the beginning we will have only three or four really fine chessmen sets,
and hopefully , we' 11 be able to increase that ,' ' she added enthusiastically. The
Kilgores bought two unusual sets at a recent Seattle games presentation: A
pewter set in Egyptian style and a groundstone " Alice in Wonderland" set .
However , the enthusiasm over " really fine " chessmen does not dim the
fact that Linda knows next to nothing about running a store or being
self-employed. And she readily admits it .
'' Dennis is in ch_a rge of optimism, ' ' Linda joked. He conceded that the worst
he expects is to make a good living from the shop . And the best he hopes for?
''Fifty branches all over the country and manufacturing our own games under
the 'Endgames' label."
Linda , meanwhile , is in charge of pessimism . '' It seems to me that the best
possible outcome is not to lose our shirts. ' ' Walking away from a salary is not
easy for her . '' I feel a strong sense of pending financial insecurity, and the idea
of having prosperity come as it will is disturbing ,'' she admits,. '' If there were
even a stronger connection between how hard you work and how well you do , it
would be comforting ."
Even with all her doubts, Linda is excited about the change . ''My teaching
job is impermanent by nature. I'm hired on a term-by-term basis, which is one
reason I feel not only free to do this , but anxious to, ' ' Linda explained with
conviction. "We can establish our own place to go, instead of relying on a
system that is not real reliable."
While risk-taking doesn't seem to come naturally to Linda, she knows
enough about the teaching market to realize that it is necessary at this point in
her life . "I didn't throw my Ph.D. to the wind," she declares without
bitterness, "It threw me . I'm at the long end of the kite. But it just isn't
important to me anymore. I didn't write any letters this year, applying to
South Dakota State or Harvard . Harvard wants me to teach there about as
much as South Dakota State does,' ' she joked.
"Right now, I'm scared to death that somebody might give me a job
somewhere else , and then what would I do? My friends who are 'successful' in
our profession aren't doing anything I envy," she explained. "A friend who
got the 'best' job of any is teaching Old English and advanced composition at a
college in Gainesville, Florida . . . I wouldn't even want to sell games in
Gainesville, Florida!"
But Linda definitely wants to sell games in Eugene. Yet, she can't quite
overcome her doubts. "If Endgames isn't a going concern next Christmas ,
then we' re in the wrong business -- either because it's not a good business for
this town or because we're hopeless incompetents ... which ~s_c1possibility. ' '

of us had to go to school for the rest of our
lives. But now Sputnik fell down last
month and that's about the end of it.''
Jack, a 1974physics Ph.D. from the U
of 0, doesn't see anything funny about
his situation. '' I believed the crap they
dished out -- I got sucked in by the
system. First a BS, then a MS, then the
big one: Ph.D. And they don't mean

anything to anybody .''
Jack has been applying for positions
in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia,
and Africa for four years. '' And I' 11 keep
applying," he stated firmly. "I know
I'm a good research physicist -~sometime, somewhere, somebody will
believe me." Until that moment comes,
Jack works part-time for a Eugene
janitorial service and tutors physics
students at the University and Oregon
State. '' Mostly I tutor them to get out
now,'' he added flatly.
Jack cited a June, 1976 editorial in
"Physics Today" magazine as proof of
the value of that advice. The article
stated that in the 170 colleges and
universities in the US granting Ph.D.' s,
the 1976 enrollment in the physics
program alone is about 10,000. Over
2,000 new students are admitted each
year, and about 1,200 graduate with
doctoral degrees in physics annually.
'' Just using those estimates, which
are almost two years old," Jack
explained, "means that every June
1,200 brand new shiny physicists walk
outthe door hoping -- no, expecting-- to
find a high paying job at a respected
institution. It's idiotic."
One question all these people have
answered for themselves is: Why?
Where did all the j9bs go? Mark believes
that flooding the market witr Ph.D.'s
was caused by lack of funding for
education. He cited the Nixon era of
''anti-intellectualism'' of the late sixties
as the turning point. "There wasn't
even money for the best graduates -administrators kept making freshman
and sophomore classes bigger instead
of hiring more teachers.''
Linda agreed. ''It wasn't just a matter
of credentials. They weren't hiring less
qualified people -- they just weren't
hiring anybody.''

responsible for the Adult Education building
from top to bottom, the Science, Industrial
Technology, upper Business building, and
the gym following events, including moving
bleachers and sweeping.
They do the heavy cleaning and the Center
building needs it, as one of the busiest places
on campus throughout the day. The cafeteria
is probably one of the most frequented
places at LCC. Come 11 p.m. tables are
moved, chairs are stacked, floors swept,
mopped, vacuumed and scrubbed. Two men
work the kitchen fr-om 10:00 p.m. until 6:00
a.m. using a scrubbing machine followed by
a mop.
The Science building is an all night job.
Overall cleaning includes collecting trash,
sweeping, mopping, vacuummg, ctustmg

and the realignment of chairs and tables.
''There's alot of cleaning that has to be done
in seven hours,'' says Stinnett.
Working closely with the LCC Security
force, using two way radios, the workers like
what they do and they do it well. "People
don't realize that while they are sleeping,
somebody's working," says the foreman, as
he continually empties his ashtray.
And like all supervisors he sees things
which would make his job a little easier and
help matters as a whole. "Use ashtrays,
empty coffee cups before throwing them
away.'' But the last suggestion brings the
point home. ''People should be responsible
for bringing their trays to the cafeteria. I've
seen some salads sitting for so long they

no call for us. There are just too many."
She views her situation, and that of
other ''failed academics,'' with humor:
''The country went hysterical over
education (in the early sixties). It's all
the'dirtycommunists' fault," she joked.
''They put Sputnik in orbit and the rest

One currently employed LCC counselor got that job before completing his
doctoral degree. Now he has it, has a
job, but also knows his chances of
moving to another job in education is a
dilemma. If two people, one with a
master's degree and one with a Ph.D.,
apply for the same teaching or
counseling job, he explained, ''The
cheaper person will usually get the
job.'' One way that colleges and
universities figure pay scales is by the
level of education completed. "When
pay scales are designed by administrators, they basically hurt people with
higher education," he added. "I
couldn't get another job at another
university now because I'm overpriced.''
Mark spoke of the doctoral graduates
of1975, saying, "We used to sit around
the graduate lounge and talk about
being over-priced. We thought a lot
about lying about our credentials -- just
say1ng we had masters.''
A second question they are faced with
is: Was it worth it? A quick glance at the
current U of O fees list shows that in
tuition alone, from freshman year to a
Ph .D. is worth a minimum total of
$6,500. Books during those nine years
would be at least another $1,500. Jack
figured his living expenses through
school at a low of $2,500 per year, for a
total of $22,500. '' I was very poor,'' he
added. ''The amount now in 1978 would
have to be more." Without even
estimating possible lost income for
those years, the dollar value of a Ph.D.is
well over $30,000.
"I don't believe I lost anything,"
Mark stated simply. "It was a
commitment I made."
"I definitely gained from it," Linda
commented. "Why, some of my best
friends are other failed academics!''

Sinus Headaches. When inflammation of the sinuses occur in colds or
allergies and the mucous lining of the
nasal passages becomes swollen and
stuffed up, pressure can build up
causing headache. Pain is usually felt in
the area of the affected sinus and fever
may arise. An antihistamine or
decongestant may be used to clear sinus
passages and promote drainage. An
antibiotic may be prescribed.
Eyestrain Headache. Poor light,
muscle imbalance or astigmatism may
cause this common headache. A feeling
of heaviness in the head, a steady
intense pain around the eyes, and
difficulty focusing may be experienced.
Proper eyeglasses and lighting can
eliminate eyestrain headaches.
Hangover Headache. Consumption
of alcoholic beverages in oombination
with excitement and socializing and loss
of sleep may cause this form of
headache which is the result of the all
too familiar hangover. Simple aspirin or
possibly coffee can give relief.
Headache Due to Bleeding [Hemorrhage]. Bleeding may occur below the
skull in the spaces covering the brain, or
in the brain itself. This is commonly
caused by a head injury, defects in the
arterial walls, or a rupture in a vein or
artery of the brain. When the blood
collects in a localized mass it is called a
hematoma, and the pressure on the
inter or intracranial spaces may cause
headache, (and probably much more).
The symptoms of arihemorrhage are too
numerous to mention here, but may
include weakness, loss of sensation,
slurred speech and loss of motor
functions. Treatment may involve
surgery.
Headache Due to Brain Tumors.
Tumors may be benign or malignant
and can originate in the brain or
elsewhere (such as in the breasts or
lungs). Tumors usually, but not always,
cause headache. Symptoms of brain
tumors can include lack of concentration, forgetfulness, lack of spontaneity
and irritibility. Surgery, irradiation or
certain drugs may be effective in
slowing the growth of tumors.
Be sure to look for the Apple Booth on
campus next week. Student Health
Service staff members will be there to
field all questions on the subject of
headaches.
