Students dropping classes
now must notify Admi,ssions

.
by Sarah Jenkins

If you registered for a few classes this term
that you have no intention of attending, you
may be in trouble.
• Instructors will no longer drop students
for non-attendence according to a policy
statement issued this week from the Dean of
Students. That means that students must
either drop the class through the Admissions
Office or have a "Y" (or even an "F")
permanently on their transcript.
As in the past drops initiated before the
seventh week of the term will not be recorded
on the student's transcript; drops after the
seventh week of the term require the
instructor'.s signature and the departmental
stamp on the add/drop card and are
recorded as a "W" (withdrawal) on the
transcript.
Bob Marshall, LCC registrar, explained
that LCC has been the only co11ege in Oregon
still accepting instructor-initiated drops.
''There are lot of legal opinions that say
that once students have registered and paid

a

'

for a class, they cannot be dropped for
non-attendance." He added that now
"removing a cla~s from the (student's)
record is the student's responsibility.''
The grades for non-attending students (or
"ghosts," as Marshall calls them) will be
determined by the individual instructors. A
"Y," meaning no basis for a grade, will
probably be most common, according to
Dean of Students Jack Carter, although
"F's" or "I's" (incompletes) might be also
used.
According to Carter, students will now be
held accountable for the tuition on each class
in which they are enrolled. In a memorandum to Marshall, Carter stated that this
'' should eliminate some potential conflicts
over whether a refund is due since they
(students) were dropped by the instructor."
All refunds in connection with drops are
based on when the student drops the class,
and that time-table will not be affected by
this change, Carter and Marshall explained.

To the Editor:

(Editor's Note: Thh. .etter is directed to
Paul Yarnold's commentary in the April 6,
1978 issue of the TORCH.)
I was shocked when I read your recent
article "Will Gay Rights Spell •Anything
Goes ... '?" I can't believe that you would
side with such outright bigotry that Lynn
Green and her group of right ·wing,
reactionary followers stand for.
The gay rights amendmen t does nothing
more than serve notice to employers and
landlords that gay people want to be
considered for a job or housing on the basis of
their qualifications not on the basis of their
sexuality. All too often when a boss or
landlord finds out that an employee or tenant
is gay that person is fired or evicted for no
other cause.
This law finally puts to rest the ugly
discrimination which every gay person faces
everyday of his or her life.
Sincerely,

Gay rights not a polit ical issue
f',0mmentary by Thomas Ball, Chairman,
Oregon Young Libertarians

The issue of gay rights has stirred up a
storm of controversy.in recent months. The
focal point of this storm has been the
so-called "gay rights ordinances " that a
number of cities have enacted. These
measures typically prohibit discrimination
on the basis of '' sexual orientation '' in the
areas of public and private employmen t,
housing and accomodations.
Last year Anita Bryant's anti-homosexual
crusade in Miami attracted national
attention. This spectacle promises to be
repeated locally as Eugene voters consider
repealing a local gay rights ordinance in the
May primary elections.
The tragic aspect of the controversy is that
both sides are wrong. What we are
witnessing is a battle for power between two
special interest groups. Each seeks to use

the power of governmen t as a club to compel
compliance with its particular moral code.
Nowhere are the rights of individuals being
considered.
The move to pass gay rights ordinances
has usually been initiated by gay organizations seeking to end legal harassment of
homosexuals. Homosexuals have good
reason to be concerned. The governmen t has
systematically discriminat ed against "nonheterosexu al" individuals. It is long past
time to repeal all laws that discriminate
against oppressive laws because of their
sexual preference. Specifically, repeal
oppressive laws in the areas of marriage,
governmen t employmen t, military service
and immigratio n, to say nothing of archaic
laws held over from the Dark Ages that make
certain consensual sexual relations criminal
offenses. But in their efforts to remove
oppressive legislation, many gay organizacontinued on page 3

How to maintain total fitness .
by exercising without a 'program,.
by Dr. Staywell and Staff of the Student
Health Service

•

How do you feel about your body? Do you
ever really think about it and what its needs
are? Do you live from the neck up instead of
from your head all the way down to your toes?
The mistake many Americans (over 80 per
cent, according to one expert) make is not
getting enough of the right kind of exercise.
Instead, perhaps, we see our bodies as
mechanical appendages to our mincls, and
serviceable only when something goes
wrong.
Fitness expert Laurence Morehouse
(author of "Total Fitness" and over 12
college level health texts) estimates that
physiological age can vary by up to 30 years.
This means that a 65 year old person can have
the body of a 35 year old. (Granted, whether
you have stayed fit all your life influences
how successful you are going to be in
reaching this potential.) But anyone can
achieve adequate or even superlative fitness
in a matter of weeks and, contrary to popular
belief, can actually enjoy the process of
staying fit.
A Fitness Program for You
It should be pos~ible to maintain fitness by
pursuing regular activities and exercises
without a ··program.'• If you can do it (with a

little help from your friends), more power to
you. The bottom line is probably that only
you can judge when you're feeling fit.
What you should be looking at is three
levels of fitness-- cardio-respiratory, muscle
tone and flexibility. Laurence Morehouse
has developed a method of assessing your
cardio-respiratory fitness (the most important of the three) by the simple means of
taking your pulse at different levels of
activity. The pulse is the best measure of
your fitness because it correlates to how
efficiently the heart is working in carrying
blood and oxygen to the body cells and in
carrying out work.
The average pulse rate of men is between
72-76 beats a minute. It is important to get
your pulse up to around 120 (which •
represents '•moderate' ' exertion) at least
once a day for a few minutes. And if you do
this, your heart rate will eventually lower 5 or
ten beats a minute and you will begin to feel
more energetic and alive.
One simple way of doing this is by
stepping up onto and off of a chair, bench or
step 15-17 inches in height. The object is to
find out what your pulse rate is after you have
gone through the four count movement
(right leg on step, both legs up, left leg on
step, both legs down) 30 times a minute for
two minutes. This workout will give you an
indication of what your pulse rate is as you
progress through an exercise program.
When you first get started, stop along the
way if you can't continue.
The key words for an exercise program are
routine and variety. Don't make unreasonable demands on yourself to become fit
overnight. You need help. Join a fitness class
atLCC, the YMCA or through Eugene Parks
and Recreation. Obtain a copy of Morehouse's "Total Fitness." And be sure to stop
by the Student Health Service or Apple
Booth for fitness iciP.~'-

"Let me read you this example," the instructor began. '"Man's intellect .. .'
no, let's make that 'People's intellect makes him more ... ' no, that should be
•
'them .' Okay."
He started again, '''People's intellect makes them more acceptable to other
men ... '
"Forget it. I'll just read it in in the sexist way it's written," declares an
exasperated Don Wilson, LCC psychology instructor.
Wilson has less trouble with intricate psychological terms than he does with
sexist language. Both men and women in his class see the humor of his dealing
competently with "dissonance resolution," "stimulus-choice theory.," and
"behaviorism ," and yet being confounded by he/she and him/her/them .
Wiison is not aione. Whiie the technical ''non-traditional'' programs at LCC
have taken great steps forward to advance women's equality, the ''intellectual''
sections of the college have remained a bastion of subtle sexism through
language .
''Tom,'' an LCC English instructor (who, along with several others asked not
to be identified), gave his reasoning for the hold-out: ''It cames down to a lot of
ingrained, entrenched notions in the language arts and social sciences
departments. It's like, 'We learned it this way, by God, and it was good enough
for us and we 're going to teach it.' It's sort of like a religious faith--everything
elsemightbefallingapart, but by God, we're going to keep saying 'he' to refer to
everyone. ' '
While none of the higher-ups in those departments wanted to argue the point,
the instructors all consistently said they are trying to reach a middle ground in
the increasing awareness of sexist language in the classroom.
"We're all caught in the middle," "John," another English instructor
explained. "Sexist language is not grammatically wrong--technically it's still
sort of the classy, formal way of doing it."
Recently John collected a crop of composition papers from his Writing 121
students. ''When I gave them back to the students, one man's had all these red
circles on it--not really errors, but I had marked it every time he used masculine
singularf He, man, policeman, fireman, chairman, mankind ... and when I tried
to explain the idea of these being sexist, all I got was a blank stare. He thought I
.,
had lost my mind ."
"Harry" , a history instructor, has run into problems, also. But he takes a
different approach . "I was talking to some of the older women in the (social
sciences) department about a text book I've been using--1 considered it sexist
because of the continual useofthesingularpronoun 'he' and 'Founding Fathers'
cliches--and they acted like , ' Why should I be concerned?' They thought I was
being condescending to ask their opinions as women. It was a strange situation .
Even in that type of case , sexism has a tendency to wipe out communication .''
Last week Dan Rothwell, an LCC Mass Communication Department instructor
with a Ph .D. in speech communication , gave a special lecture to Darrell Beck's
speech class. His answer to sexist language could be classified as retaliation :
' 'Guys say, ' Hey , let'sgetsomechicksand have a party.' But women are starting
to say, 'I don 't like being called a chick--it's kind of derogatory .' Then men will
say, 'I' m tired of being so uptight about what kind of language I use and what I call
you dumb women .' So let's reverse it--from now on, when women are talking
about men , they can call them 'pigs. ' Women can get together at night and say,
'Hey , let's go get some pigs and go to a party .' Then guys will say , 'I don 't like
being called a pig ; that's kind of derogatory .' Women can then respond like men
do now : ' We don 't really mean you 're a piggy-piggy--it's just a form of
affection . '
Rothwell made his point. The entire class laughed uproariously , but then
seemed to fade into self-consciousness.
" Talking about sexism in language--communicating that awareness-- makes
everybody more aware ,'' Harry believes . '' In the end , what we say is how we
think . The words create the image even if we don 't realize it ."
" And we have to be aware ," Tom concurred . "Language does shape our

This arrangement was made because the
rental cost of bringing films to LCC (through

"Chinatown" alone cost $400, and' that
price, according to Films Incorporated, was
"a break."

Netters win initial "league match
by John Healy
The men's tennis team opened its
inaugural season in the Oregon Comm~ty
College Athletic Assn. [OCCAA] on a
successful note last Friday, defeating
Southwestern Oregon 4-0 at home.
The Titans swept all four singles matches
in a rain abbreviated contest to record their
first league win. Both doubles matches were
cancelled due to the weather, but by that
pointthe Titans led 4-0 and were assured of a
victory.
John Johnson, LCC's No. 1 player, upset
Southwestern Oregon's Joe Hannon 6-3, 6-2
in the first match, then Doug Knudsen, Tony

JOlWQOOO(

Brandt, and freshman Gary Lott followed
with successive victories to clinch the
contest.
'' Hannon made the finals of the State AAA
singles tournament last year,'' explained
Lane tennis coach Don Wilson. "John
played him smart--he hit a lot of lobs and
drop shots to take away Hannon's game,
which is mainly baseline volleying."
Knudsen downed Mike Ruell 6-4, 6-2,
Brandt slipped by Jim Brookins 6-3, 6-2, and
Lott knocked off Terry Baxter 6-3, 6-1 in
other singles matches.
Brandt's win was his first in singles
competition this year, according to Wilson.
Lott, usually the No. 5 player, also
performed well, added Wilson.

Titans fuse doubkheader; drop out of OCC AA kad
by Steve Myers
Lane's baseball team suffered a serious
set back to their quest for the 1978 Oregon
Community College Athletic Association
(OCCAA) baseball crown.
The Titans lost both games of an April 8
double header against Umpqua Community
College in Roseburg. LCC lost the first seven
inning contest 5-4 and the second one 12-6.
Loosing the pair of games dropped Lane
into the midst of the OCCAA title race.
U mpqua remained on top of the league with a

LCC did find some consolation in last
week's baseball action. They managed to
beat the University of Oregon JV' s 6-5 on

spiced up with five varsity players brought

"We had a lot of good hitting against
Oregon and in the first game against

Umpqua, " related coach Duane Miller.
~hose were good close games. But, I don't
mind saying that I was really disappointed
with the way we played in the second game
against Umpqua. We just went through the
motions and . we got shelled by them.''
''We played like one of the ball clubs in the
lower half of the league,'' continued Miller.
'' Man for man we' re just as good if not better
than they are. We just didn't play up to our
potential.''
Miller feels that pitching was Lane's big
problem in the 12-6 loss in the second game.
The Titans went through three pitchers in
that game. Mike Anderson, the starting
pitcher, received the bulk of the Umpqua
attack as he was smacked for six runs in the
second inning.
'' Anderson started throwing the ball up in
the second inning," said Miller. "That's
when we got into trouble. They started to
pound out the runs."
Anderson was soon replaced by Tony
Stearns early in the second inning, but after
the damage was done. Stearns pitched for

the next four innings giving up four runs on
three Umpqua hits. LCC scored five runs int
the third inning and it appeared that it might
turn out to be a close game. It was not.
Umpqua added six more runs in the game
while the Titans could only manage one more
run in the top of the sixth inning.

With two outs and the bases loaded, Miller
replaced Kammeyerwi th Ed Stetzenmueller
who gave up two runs . That knotted the score
up four all. The score remained tied until the
bottom of the seventh when Umpqua
squeezed a run in to win the corrtest 5-4.

Southwestern Oregon (SWOCC) downed
the women 's tennis team 3-1 in a rain
shortened match at LCC last Friday.
Cheryl Shrum was the only Titan able to
pull out a victory in LCC' s first Northwest
Conference Women ' s Sports Association
match of the ,Year.
Gail Rogers , Peggy Gangle and Carol
Campbell all lost their matches to SWOCC
opponents before rain canceled the three
scheduled double matches.
Lane was forced to forfeit two singles
matches Friday because of a lack of players,
as there are only four women on the tennis
team this year.
According to Wilson, the Titans must
concede two singles and one doubles match
to every school they play because of the lack
of available players on the team.
