But for many liberal arts students the job market may look a little bleak. Dr. Dorothy Bestor, an instructor and author from the University of Washington, described some of the professions available to liberal arts majors in a lecture at LCC on April 18. According to Bestor 40 to SO job careers require the skills which liberal arts majors have. Editors, procedure analysts, research assistants, and in public relations work, are just a few which Bestor named. English majors learn about summarizing, organizing, research techniques, technical writing, and many other related skills helpful in landing a rewarding career, Bestor told the audience. While Dr. Bestor was working as a placement counselor at the University of Washington, she spotted the need for a book that could provide liberal arts students with examples of case studies about liberal arts majors who used imagination to build new careers. So she wrote, "Aside From Teaching English, What in the World Can _ Dorothy Bestor You Do?" herself, and published it through the UW's University Press last July. For her next edition, Dr. Bestor plans to acquire more case studies and ideas to help students realize how useful their credentials really are in getting a job. Bestor advises English majors to make a self assessment of their talents, and develop a flexible attitude so they can take advantage of other options. Bestor also feels speaking with others related with the type of career one has in mind is a most important method of gaining helpful insight. ::::::::::1:::1:m:::::~:::::m]1:::::m:::::1::::r,:::::1:1f::1:1:::J1J: Raising a child, attending LCC; Colleen is doing it the hard way 111 1 : ::::]::::::::::::::: Ross Barton cruises the campus on a security patrol. Photo by Jeff Patterson. For some, it's the witching hour. For poachers, lovers, and thieves, it's high noon. For Ross Barton, oneofLCC'ssecurityofficers, it's the graveyard shift and for another seven hours he'll be watching, checking, cruising, and listening for the slightest hint of disturbance on the sleepy 100 acre campus. He sits patiently in his patrol car, watching over the vacant campus, hoping it stays quiet--but. knowing from eight years of experience it may not. ''We've got almost a full moon tonight ... with a moon, you can almost count on sometbing happening." As if on cue, a pair of car lights slide off the downhill side of 30th Avenue into the LCC west entrance. The car stops at the bottom, its lights briefly distorted and magnified by a skiff of fog over the lagoon. It pauses for a moment, then abruptly swings south and accelerates into the campus. Barton immediately swings his car around, lurching straight, gliding through stop signs and around speed bumps, heading for a quick rendezvous with the intruder. • He predicts the interception point perfectly, meeting the newcomer headlight to headlight in the south parking lot. The car hesitates, and Barton flicks on a chrome, roof-mounted spotlight that glares into the driver's face like an angry father staring down the child he has caught with hands in a cookie jar. The driver u-turns and scurries off the campus. "Good boy," mutters Barton as he idles hack t·o his post. Night Visitors Barton has served on the LCC security force since 1970, most of that on the graveyard shift. A former Marine Corps MP, a graduate of the Oregon Security Officer's Academy, and the Oregon Bomb School, he has the skill, knowledge, and experience to sniff out and deal wit~ trouble. With academic course work in continued on page 9 by Rick Dunaven • ''My high school principal threatened to tell my parents about the (birth control) pills I'd picked up at the Family Planning Office in Coos Bay if I didn't promise to get rid of them. He told me I wasn't 'that' type of girl and he felt the only proper decision I could make, concerning the pills, would be to throw them away." The principal had discovered that Colleen Donahue, now an LCC student majoring in photo-journalism, had, during her junior year in high school, gone to a nearby town with two other classmates to get some packets of birth control pills for themselves. When she came out ofthe principal' s office Colleen said she felt ashamed, embarrassed and really frustrated. ''I didn't want to have a baby and I wasn't ready to get married. I thought getting the pills was a good idea, but the way t~e principal explained it, I wasn't so sure,'' she said. Colleeen, confused and unsure of herself, decided it was best to go along with the wishes of her principal, so she threw the pills away. • That happened in April of 1972. In December, during her senior year, she found out she was pregnant. Her boyfriend, who had graduated the previous year, wasn't interested in getting married anymore than she was. Colleen asked to have an abortion when she told her mother about the pregnancy. But heryarents, }?eing strict Catholics, would agree only if she were advised by their priest to ha~e an abortion. The priest advised Colleen to have the child but give the baby up for adoption. She didn't like that idea, ''lfl was going to go through with the pregnancy,'' she said, ''then I wanted to keep the child.'' That turned out to be the most important decision Colleen had ever made. "I didn't know anything about having a child. I was more or less a child myself." Colleen was surprised and thankful that people "really backed me up" after she had made her decision.' 'I was afraid people wouldn't understand,'' she said, ''but when I told my father he said everybody makes mistakes, the only difference is that yours is going to show.'' Her friends still included her in the school activities, she even went to the graduation party. When she wentto the high school baseball games that summer, she recalls, friends would occasionally ask to feel the unborn baby kicking. • Three months after graduating from high school Colleen moved to Eugene. She gave birth to a 10 pound son whom she named Matthew. continued on page 4 Page 2 - - - - - - - , , , - - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - T Q R C H - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A p r i l 2 7 ~ 1978 Sports coverage of both sexes is equal ORCH iscriminates against women's track team To the Editor: You "TORCH" people better up-date your thinking and get your publication out of the dark ages! We are all pretty tired of seeing one-third of your printed space devoted to men's athletics and then putting in a subnote, (as an afterthought I'm sure) that the women's team also ran. While fewer in number, (due to lack of support) the women work just as hard, compete just as strongly, and are just as dedicated to their sports as men. In the name of fair play let's have better coverage of women in sports. Buck Bailey Editorial by Sally Oljar Mr. Bailey 's "Letter to the Editor" this ·week illustrates his apparent lack of ~nformation regarding the TORCH's coverage of women's sports at LCC. It appears that he does not read the paper, specifically the sports page, with any consistency. If he had followed the coverage given the various women's athletic teams, I'm sure he would discover that the TORCH does not need to get itself "out of the dark ages." At his suggestion, I did some "up-dating" of my thinking and reviewed all the sports coverage of women's athletics in past issues, beginning Fall Term 1977. During basketball season the women's team received more coverage than the men's team, although the men's squad had a better record. TORCH Sports Editor John Healy wrote an in-depth analysis of the women's team, including interviews with each player, and a weekly "Titan of the Week" feature, which included men and women. In October, the TORCH featured the newly formed women's cross-country team in a cover story. Weekly coverage of these meets followed until the season ended. Women's volleyball, especially during the last part of the season, also enjoyed weekly coverage, as the women's tennis team does this season. In reference to last week's women's track meet with Linn-Benton Community Colleg and Southwestern Oregon Community College it must be pointed out that only two . women track competitors won their events. There are seven women on the LCC women's track team. Six men competitors won their events in the same.meet. There are 55 men on the LCC men's track team. I have no doubt that every woman on the women's track, basketball, volleyball , or tennis teams compete just as strongly, work just as hard, and are just as dedicated to their particular sport as the men. A desire for excellence in any sport is not dependent upon one's sex. The strength of competition displayed by the women's team is not the issue. The fact is, unfortunate buttrue, that women's athletics does not have the participation at the present time that men's athletics do. The wider range of women's sports is just beginning at LCC: Women's softball and soccer teams are expected to be added to the present programs. The TORCH will continue to cover the women's athletic program as it grows, as it is sure to do in the corning years, just as efficiently, fairly, and with as much interest as it does the men's athletic programs. Who pays the price for the TY show 'Holocaus t' ? Commentary by Wes Heath Critics of the NBC "Holocaust" miniseries which aired last week are asking the network brass for their motive in re-telling the horror story of Nazi anti-Semitism. Some claim it was an unnecessary exploitation of all too familiar history. The Palestinians say "Holocaust" was Zionist propaganda aimed at reinforcing pro-Israeli sentiments in the 10 to 15 countries in which it will be televised. Others are decrying the series' artistic shortcomings. HISTORY NOT TAUGHT The historians who constitute the first group of critics are apparently unaware that the holocaust is not common knowledge, at least not among the young. According to a history instructor at the University of Oregon, one-third of his freshman students 1 had never even heard of Hitler. An d a recent poll taken among high school students in Seattle revealed that a "good portion" thought the Jewish holocaust was a religious holiday. To a nation of young people whose only exposure to a denial of human rights has been a school administrator's ban on smoking, "Holocaust" has come none too soon. A ZIONIST PLOT? Concerning the protests of the second group of critics, it can only be said that if Jewish Committee reiterated this point when, acting as a consultant for the film, he lamented the '' growing callousness to the value of human life, an indifference to human suffering.'' If we can believe Green, the 71 per cent "success" of Hitler's Final Solution is ASLCC's Ruckman endorses Cox To the Editor: As ' student body president during this year I have worked with both of the candidates for next year's student body president. Without hesitation I endorse Jim Cox. Jim has been working on developing teaching evaluations so that students can , know in advance what kind of class they're signing up for. This shows Jim ' s concern for making LCC serve the students educationally. Free legal aid and other ASLCC services would be managed well under Jim's leadership.

With more work needing to be done at LCC to bring about equal opportunity and with constant pressure to raise tuition and cut class offerings, we need people who can represent the students well. Jim Cox is a sensitive, strong man with good character and the capability of getting the job done. I strongly urge students to vote for Jim Cox for student body president. Tom Ruckman ASLCC President Ram Das sold out To the Editor: On April 20th I had the pleasure of being able to listen to Ram Das, author of'' Be Here Now,'' at South High in the standing room only auditorium. Ram Das' lecture conveyed a kind of "oneness" between him and audience that I had never experienced. I would simplify his message as follows ... listen to "yourself" and follow your "desired" path in life as we all help earth along its path. It was unfortunate that fifty to sixty people were turned away at the door. Probably because of the lack of enforcement within Ram Das' security some people with tickets were not able to see the lecture. It seemed that his security (not thinking the auditorium would over-fill) was more interested in the first come, first served basis than which people had bought tickets. At least the Ram Das tour was more than glad to give ticket holders a quick refund with a very nice smile. If a person (with or without a ticket) had the patience to wait, until the fire marshal got tired of enforcing the fire regulations, they were allowed to see the remainder of the lecture. This, by the way, is how I saw the lecture afterall the trails led back to the main door. The school's security was extremely tight, more like a maximum security prison complete with barred hallways as well as unsympathetic "guards." When the old trick of "I'm with the Press!" doesn't work the security is too tight. R. W. Armstrong Was "Holocaust" an exploitation, propoganda, or art? ·- - - - - - - - - - - - Zionists are exploiting the series to their political advantage and if some viewers are narrowly interpreting it to be a plea for Jewish nationalism, they have missed the ' important thrust of its message. "Holocaust'' was not an appeal for Semitism, but a polemic against the senseless prejudice and savagery which still occurs today. Consider B:azil, for example, where tens of thousands of natives are living lives almost indistinguishable from slavery, or Cambodia where three million people were executed in the streets last year for no more serious crime than citizenship in a country· that toppled to Communism. An editorial cartoon from the Richmond News Leader which appeared locally last week depicted a typical American couple viewing an installment of the mini-series. Next to the television set was a pile of current newspapers and books describing the atrocities suffered by Jews and others at the hands of the Russians. The woman says to her sedentary, beer-chugging spouse, ''How on earth could civilized people just sit back and allow all that to happen? That's what I'd like to know." The moral of the cartoon was clear, and it was the same moral expounded by "Holocaust" screenwriter Gerald Green -the executioner is not the only culprit. Everyone is tainted by guilt who knows about brutality but does nothing ab~ut it. Rabbi Marc Tannenbaum of the American directly attributable to the sort of complicity Tannenbaum referred to, and various groups were guilty, the United States, the BBC, the Poles, the Ukranians, the Vatican -even the Jews themselves who, as members of the kapos, served as prisoner-guards in exchange for preferential treatment. According to Hannah Vogt, whose anguished treatise on the holocaust is required reading among Germany's students today, "Many people reacted with spontaneous indignation as the scales f,II from their eyes about the true character of the Nazi regime. But they were not indignant enough to resist openly." She added, "Where were we when we should have opposed the beginning?'' THE ARTISTIC PRESENTATIONit. THE COMMERCIALIZATION The complaints of the third group of critics those who lamented the artistic shortcomings of the program -- were the most valid. And these critics were joined by those who believed the network used objectionable methods to package and sell their nine-and-a-half-hour product to the consumer: One promotional ad read, "Heinz Muller knew being a prison guard. meant privileges, and one of them was the prisoners' wives."

The function of the fund is to "protect" student organizations from sustaining any financial losses which they might not be able to recover while sponsoring campus events. This means if an event cost $200 to produce, but generates only $100 in revenue , the Cultural Fund could cover approved expenses and sustain most of the losses. The fund is not designed to make a profit, so net profits would go to the sponsoring student organization. Sally Torres, assistant to the director of student activities, said' 'the fund can totally or partially finance any activity which meets our guidelines." The guidelines state that the ASLCC or ~ ,~:;- .,: ~ .

The "stranger in the dark alley~• assault only makes up about three to five per cent of the rapes reported , both in Lane County and nationwide. Both women repeatedly stressed that awarness of personal power is the best defense against a possible assailant. Schuster recommended self-defense training for all women. '' It gives you an air about you, an attitude , saying that you can take care of yourself.'' PERSONAL BEARING Morgan concurred. "We know that most rapists are looking for women who are vulnerable -- depression and emotional weakness show in the way a woman carries herself. Statistics show that these are the women who are most frequently victimized. " Personal control and awareness, according to Morgan, are the keys. "When the mind and body come together in a sense of personal power, it shows. In the way a woman walks or holds her head or something --wedon'tknowexactlywhatit is, but it does show!" Schuster also emphasized that the network counsels men -- -- boyfriends, husbands, or fathe~s -- who are close to rape victims.

But after four months there she decided to come back, with Matthew, to Eugene and stay with one of her sisters while she tried to find a job. After months of disappointment and depression Colleen finally found work as a secretary/receptionist with the New York Life Insurance Company in April, 1974. "Getting that job was a turning point in my life," she said. Colleen didn't receive welfare because she felt, '' doing that would be like giving up.'' She wanted to accept the responsibility of being a single parent. To start her life of independence she rented a two bedroom apartment in downtown Eugene. The pressures of trying to support Matthew and herself were difficult. "I wasn't making much money at my job," she said . "It was barely enough to cover our rent, food and paying for a babysitter when I was at work.'' ''I didn't know anybody here and I had alotof trouble adjusting to the fact I had a child to support.'' As time passed Colleen began making friends but still felt somewhat embarrassed about her status as a single parent. '' Most people were really supportive,'' she said, ''but I guess I was still unhappy because I saw my son as a handicap." About that time she decided it was time to change her attitudes and start setting some goals for both Matthew and herself. She took employee evaluation tests given by the company she worked for, to receive the bonuses the company offered its employees for study and competence. She also started receiving a low cost housing subsidy after ayear. and a half on the waiting list. • ''I began orienting my life around my son. I started seeing him not as an obstacle to me, ' but as an individual with whom I could share myseff.'' Deciding that her job as a secretary didn't have enough of a future, Colleen started thinking about going back to school. "I wanted to become a photo-journalist. I took photography in high school and really liked it and I've talked to a few reporters who ate their lunches in the building where I used to work.'' During the three years she was working Colleen was able to establish agood credit rating, buy a car, and accumulate most of the necessities for their future. She was able to quit work and become a full-time student in the spring term of 1977. Matthew, who likes to be called 'Fuddy,' will be five years old next August. He has been enrolled in the LCC Child Services for two terms. Puddy is the type of child who seems like an adult at times, but looks young and a little short for an adult. ''He's really an intelligent character,'' Colleen said with more than just a little pride. "We're on top now, and have no place to go but forward," she added. Studen t acciden ts on the upswin g German When asked what type of accidents happen most frequently on campus, Oswalt said that she sees only the statistics on reported accidents, like Prieto's. "I'm sure that many accidents go unreported to the Student Health Department," she explained, ''and, of course, we have no record of accidents that happen in the evening.'' Oswalt noted that one of the major problems with student accidents at LCC is the lack of insurance coverage for many injured students. Prieto, facing the cost of emergency room treatment and possible future doctor's charges, carried no student insurance. Oswalt, along with Gyorgyfalvy and most of the other P.E. insturctors. advise all students at LCC to carry some form of insurance while attending school. students in P.E. classes each term, and an average of 30 hours class time for . each student, I am very pleased with our record.'' He added that all P.E. instructors have had course work in the prevention of accidents and are trained in first aid. The training was apparent in Prieto's accident. George Gyorgyfalvy, her gymnastics instructor, witnessed her fall and immediately called the Student Health Service and an ambulance. Within five minutes, Sharon Kealoha, a registered nurse who works in the Student Health Services, had arrived at the scene of the accident. ''There wasn't much I could do,'' Kealoha said, "except make sure she (Prieto) didn't move around. That's standard procedure for any back injury.'' Campus Security officers were on hand to direct the ambulance to the gymnastics room and within half an hour Prieto was on her way to the hospital for treatment of a painfully sprained back.

Speaking from YAF headquarters in Virginia, Heckman was talking about the victory scored by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UN!,) chapter of YAF. TheY: were able to convince the school regents to halt the mandatory s~udent funding of the speakers program. For most YAF chapters, the partisan group at the top of the list is ·the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG). As Heckman sees it, PIRG's are political lobbying groups that don't represent all the students in their analysis of an issue. the Bakke controversy, Heckman said. (Allan Bakke is a UC-Davis medical student who has filed a suit charging that, as a white person, he was denied entrance to medical school in favor of minority students "200-300" campuses. They are wholly supported by contributions, largely from businessmen, says Heckman. and through local fund-raising events such as car washes and raffles. in an affirmative action program.)

The letter writing approach ts '' quite innovative", said Heckman, who is YAF's director of state and chapter services. "Seeing its effects, it's quite possible that other chapters may begin to use that technique," he added. ''Usually we start on the ground floor with the students, and try to get changes through a referendum and such," said Heckman. "But they're rarely successful." Opposition to mandatory student fees has been the primary project of YAF campus chapters since its inception in 1960, Heckman said. "YAF's policy is that no school or student government should require students to finance any social, political or ethnic group that supports views contrary to their own moral and philosophical beliefs. "We protest against any university or college organization, be it black social clubs, radical lesbian speakers, anyone that uses mandatory fees, including student fees, tuition dollars or state allocations, to take a partisan role in political issues.'' Labor commissioner forbids business travel Commissioner Bill Stevenson told employees of the State Bureau of Labor that they could not travel on official business to any state which has not yet ratified the Equal Rights Amendment. In a memo to his staff today, Stevenson said that the action was particularly appropriate for the Bureau of Labor since, as an agency, it is deeply committed to the existence of equal rights for all citizens. Some of the agency's activities include enforcement of civil rights laws, technical assistance on civi1' rights laws and compliance with equal opportunity employment requirements in apprenticeship and training programs. Stevenson also urged Governor Bob Straub to take similar action in a letter dated April 17. ''Your influence extends far beyond state government, of course, and so your , leadership role generally would be of major importance in support of this effort. Citizens ,in Oregon are generally well-attuned to the important issue of equal rights for all individuals,'' said Stevenson. Statd which have not ratified the ERA include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, . South Carolina, Utah and ViEginia.

PaRe 6----------------------------------------------------------------ll Birth Center 'happy medium' in childbirth debate by Bill Seavey of the Student Health Service So you're going to have a baby. Increasingly, you're looking at two,. possibly three, choices in Eugene for pre-natal education and care and childbirth: • Go to a private obstetrician/ gynecologist in the early months of your pregnancy, have your baby delivered in a local hospital and return home. Fees run from $1000 for a one day hospital stay, the services of the physician, and miscellaneous basic medications and procedures. • Contact one of several local agencies (such as the Home Oriented Maternity Experience, or the Center for Wholistic Birth and Birth Co-op) to arrange for pre-natal advice and care, a home birth attended by a midwife, and follow-up parenting education. Fees range from free to $150. •Goto a-private birth center (Lucinia Birth Center for example) where you can have a ''home'' -style birth with hospital care quality and safety plus optional parenting education. The basic package is $700. Obviously, there are pros and cons to all pos~ibilities•. On one side, perhaps, are obstetricians in private practice working with hospitals who feel that prenatal care and birth are the domains of professionals, technologists and institutions. On the other are childbirth educators, lay and nursemidwives and small local agencies who believe that birth is a function of family life in the home with a little help from your friends. What and who is the prospective mother to believe? A recent study by the American College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians seems to clearly· indict home birth practitioners for negligence. It surveyed all 51 states, eleven of which had statistics on perinatal deaths in hospitals compared to out-of-hospital deaths. The states showed anywhere from double to quadruple mortality rates for out-of-hospital births. Oregon, for example, had 9. 7 stillborns in hospitals per 1000 in 1975, compared to 17.0 per 1000 for out-of-hospital births. "These statistics are misleading," says Jude Hart, director of the Centre for Wholistic Birth, ''because they include births on the way to the hospital and births in homes where women were too poor to afford hospital care, not just home births." But, concludes Warren H. Pearse M.D., director of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology , ''Birth at home does not provide equipment to recognize fetal distress or the medical facilities to ca·rry out complicated deliveries which may be necessary to save a fetus in distress." Such equipment, suggests nurse Geri Reigles of the LCC Student Health Service, should include portable oxygen, a portable suction machine, blood plasma and intravenous set-up, incubator. and episiotomy set-up. And home births attended by non-professionals are not likely to have matched by age, length of pregnancy, individual risk factors , socio-economic status, educational background and instruction through childbirth classes. The survey results indicated that hospital births, in generat, are less safe than home births because -of certain hospital medical procedures followed such as use of forceps, pain-killing drugs, artificially accelerated labor, and cesarean surgery.

The home birth people, however, have some statistics of their own: The Institute of Childbirth and Family Research did a comparison study of 1000 planned home births and 1000 hospital births.

Call ahead. 342-7646. JT-, 8 Hospital, counters that these procedures, in fact, are often necessary to improve the baby's and mother's well-being. Forceps, he said, are only used in a small number of cases to correct breach births which, he says, can injure 8 per cent of all babies born this way. Mothers have a choice about what drugs, if any, they want during labor, he said. "Medication can actually enhance a woman's safety during labor by letting her participate more effectively," he said. And 10-11 per cent of all births require C-sections because their pelvises aren 'tlarge enough to accommodate a regular delivery. And these are done only for reasons of "medical necessity,'' he explained. However, U.S. Sen.JacobJavitsandFood and Drug Administration head Donald Kennedy recently told a Senate subcommittee that the use of expensive procedures such as ultrasound techniques to monitor the fetus, cesarean section delivery and labor-inducing drugs to insure timely delivery have become "fashionable" and ''convenient'' rather than always necessary. And home birth advocates m~intain that there are other factors which can affect the safety and quality of the birth experience: They include the need for a home-like atmosphere with subdued lights, participation by family and friends, bonding to mother and father and breastfeeding of the infant. To meet these needs a lay midwifery organization has been formed call the Birth Co-op. According to member Denyse Silverman , the five-member group presides atbirths, usuallytwoorthreeatatime , with a back-up doctor on call at a hospital. The doctor is sometimes needed when complications arise, for blood work, or simply to answer questions . The cost is $150. The women practice legal ''lay midwifery, ' ' in Oregon, often not permitted in other states. Midwives received their training by attending births and obtaining advice from sympathetic obstetricians and nurse-m_idwives. There are few nurse-midwives in the area and most of them are with local obstetricians. Monica Wiitanen, spokesperson for H.O.M.E., recommentds that all home births include (1) the availability of a doctor who has been responsible for pre-natal care; (2) pre-registration at a hospital and a ready car in case of emergency; (3) a father trained in childbirth (Lamaze or Bradley methods) and (4) understanding of the whole process. She is very critical of hospital birthing procedures. "In hospitals people expect things to go wrong. In the home we expect things to go well. Birth need not be a traumatic experience. "Maybe many doctors haven't seen a natural birth where a woman isn't poked, prodded, shaved, enemaed, episiotomied and had her baby taken away." But is this an accurate picture of what exists at the hospital? "We have a very family-oriented obstetrical practice at Sacred Heart,'' says Dr. Hansen. Hansen worked seven years ago to get fathers into the delivery room as they are now. And in December, Sacred Heart • established an '' alternative birth program'' ·with a birthing room which includes a home-style bed, comfortable furniture and carpeting. (McKenzie-Willamette Hospital established a similar, and somewhat less costly program in April.) But these are merely props, says Dr. Hansen, who insists that a mother has a wide range of choices about such things as which obstetrician to use, midwife attendance, the newborn's staying with its mother or in a nursery, breastfeeding etc. And Hansen doesn't like the birthing room because its • awkwardness is a '' distinct disadvantage for both patient and doctor.'' Gordon Rennie, public relations director of Sacred Heart, reiterates Hansen's views that Sacred Heart births are humane. Both men worrry that out-of-hospital births are a risky proposition. (5-10 per cent of all hospital births have complications and 1-2 per cent require intensive care they claim.) They feel that an injured baby may become ·a burden on both society and their parents. The only responsible choice, says Rennie, is to have a baby in the hospital or possibly a birthing center, such as Lucinia in Cottage Grove. Lucinia may be the happy medium between a hospital and home birth. The atmosphere is homelike. Family and relatives are encouraged to attend the birth. . The center employs a doctor and nurse-midwife who screen all prospective clients for possible complications, taking no one who is safer in a hospital. They provide complete pre-natal care and education, birthing and post-natal check-ups for $700. Lucinia is located within six blocks of Cottage Grove Hospital should complications arise. When the dust settles from the childbirth controversy, dollars may well be the deciding factor for many people. Most health insurance plans like Blue Cross will pay most of the costs of a delivery at a hospital. But while Lucinia is considered a hospital under continued on page 7 April -----------------------------:-------- , 1978 ---------------------Page 7 Welch concert draws a near capacity crowd by Steve Myers ,>hotos by Ray Armstrong "I like what I'm doing and I want to keep doing it," explained a composed singer/ guitarist Bob Welch after his performance in LCC's main gym last Sunday night. Almost 2,500 fans received the ex-Fleetwood Mac star and his six-member band with enthusiastic applause. The performance, jointly sponsored by the ASLCC Cultural Affairs Office and KASH radio, culminated a seven year absence of rock and roll concerts on the campus. For audience members it was a twin bill performance worth the $6.50 price if they could bear sitting through the opening act, which featured the talents of guitarist Les Dudek, Jim Krieger, and keyboard whiz Jim Finnegan. . Guitarist Les Dudek "jams" with the warm-up band. The Dudek, Finnegan, and Krieger Band billed itself as ''refugees'' from Boz Scaggs and the Dave Mason Band and it was easy to tell why. The group was too loud and seemed on the verge of turning into a free-lance jam session. It had talent, but the harmony that makes a great group was absent from the show. After an hour of polite applause for the warm-up band, the gym was darkened and the mood of the crowd changed. The audienc~ knew who was next. The music began in darkness. Then, with a burst of light, Bob Welch and his Gibson guitar appeared. Welch was dressed in white pants, vest, and neckerchief. He had a blue knee-length suit jacket on at the start of his performance but soon opted the jacket and neckerchief for a blue cheese-cutter hat. Welch kept his audience at a peak of excitement for his hour and a half performance. The concert was professionally staged and thoroughly enjoyable: from his first solo album, "French·Kiss." He also sang a few of his old Fleetwood Mac hits, highlighted by his version of the old favorite' 'Future Games.'' He followed with some of his latest hits, the high points of which were the renditions of '' Sentimental Lady" and "Ebony Eyes." "Ebony Eyes." '' Ebony Eyes'' was supposed to be the last song of the evening, but the crowd chanted and screamed for an encore and was rewarded with two more pieces. The almost capacity audience left with a good feeling for Bob Welch, rock and roll, and LCC concerts. The college administratio n showed some apprehension before the concert, stemming from the problems that occured seven years ago at LCC's last major rock concert, which featured the Grateful Dead. In 1971 the spectators dumped liquor bottles, left cigarette burns, and created some violence (a stabbing). But Sunday tight security in the form of bottle checks at the door and security guards with flashlights helped to insure the Bob Welch opens his show with a burst of light. '' Look at Fleetwood Mac five years ago, or success of Welch's concert. In an exclusive interview with the TORCH even two years ago, for that matter. They after the concert, Welch talked about the were nowhere near as popular then as they ''French Kiss'' album, and the success it has are now. Stevie (Nicks) and Lindsey encountered.

Welch is currently atthe halfway point of a four-month promotional tour which has covered the country. He is working on material for his next release on Capitol Records, due to go to the studio in September. He's satisfied with his style: "I have no intention of going to a disco or a punk rock style. ljustwritethe musiclfeel like playing. ' I just hope I don't die out with the public. Welch explained.

A group of people gathered around the televisions seated on the floor and in a few chairs. LCCfilm instructor David Joyce wheeled a shopping cart around the room distributing small portable radios strategically within the room. All the radios were tuned to different local radio stations. This was part of a show put on by Joyce and video artist Ed Mellnik. ''There are 14 radio stations in Eugene,'' was one of several video maneuvers that lasted about two hours on Friday April 21 at the Open GalJery. The audience was able to appreciate the short "media" humor. Joyce, and Ed Mellnik, filmmaker and video artist also working at· LCC, put together the show with what appeared to be much time and effort. Mellnik' s efforts were more pleasing to the eye than Joyce's simply because of the way in which Mellnik uses the media of video: His pieces, "Subjective Space," and "Chicken," shown on three color TV sets simultaneously, were eye tantalizers of pleasantly colored ! 'abstract'' images that moved to form various designs and compositions. Mellnik achieved these effects by feeding images into a video synthesizer which distorted the information fed it. . Mellnik also displayed a satirical documentary in black and white on two television sets. He chose for his subject the most complex and controversial political issue of the decade, Nixon and Watergate. Selected bits and pieces of video tape were combined to show incidents in Nixon's political career along with video tapes of the Watergate hearings. Mellnik then edited the tapes down until he had what he offered to the public last weekend. But Mellnik should stick to the images he creates with the synthesizer; they are somewhat innovative and offer a possible positive direction for the media of television. But the satirical documentary didn't make it as an innovation. The subject and ideology behind Mellnik's satire has lost its profundity--it has all been said too many times before. In fact most satirists of any magnitude have hesitated to use Nixon and Watergate as material because it is difficult to satirize satire. Another presentation of Joyce's film, ''Montreal Street Soup'' had also been done before. On the screen we see a soup can rolling to a stop, the words on the can, "Cream of Street Soup" come into focus. The screen goes blank for a second, then a rapid montage of a variety of things one sees in the street flash before us. The screen goes blank again, then before us is a close up shot of several piles of (dog) feces, a glob of vomit, and other similar items. Andy Warhol has, in his works, continually used similar images to effectively stimulate certain responsees from his audiences. While Joyce's "Street Soup'' could also have had an impact, it was overdone. It should have concluded after the first images came to the blank halt. The humor evoked in that series of images was quite enough to make the point. Joyce did achieve artistic validity in his films "For Grate." The works, in black and white, of gratings created pleasant and provocative moving patterns. • As a satirist Joyce fairs better than Mellnik. He poked fun at a variety of human conditions and exercised the quality of self-ridicule without losing face. • _Page 8 Former Lane Community College art instructor Tom Blodgett of Eugene will return to campus this week for a showing of his "Recent Woods and People Drawings."

A demonstt,--.ion against the krugerrand will be held from 11 :30 ~.m . . Saturday, April 22nd, sponsored by People for Southern African Freedom. The protest action will take place outside the Oakway Mall, and will focus on continuing sales of the South African gold coin by the Eugene Coin Gallery. The Eugene City Council passed a resolution on February 13, 1978, opposing the sale of this coin within the city limits of Eugene. Expressing its '' abhorrence of the racial policies of the government of South Africa" the resolution "urges people not to buy the coins known as the krugerrand, and urges coin dealers and brokerage houses within Eugene to cease selling the krugerrand.

A navy-blue watchcap pulled down over steel-gray hair. Searching eyes. An expressionless face. Barton could look like a New York Bowery cop. But, as he leans his big frame against the car seat, with his shoulder against the door, he speaks with a soft eloquence that betrays the tough exterior. ''My hobby is listening to overseas radio broadcasts ... Radio Moscow ... Radio Peking ... The Chinese speak better English than I do. It's flawless. They tend to express a very internalized view of the world ... like everything that happens in the wor Id they measure totally against their own point of view.'' As he speaks, faint gunfire is heard from the hills north of 30th Avenue. "Hear those shots?" Barton drags on his cigarette. "You wouldn't believe what goes on up here at night sometimes.'' And like a father naming his children -----------continued from page 1 Sweeps, probes and searches The traffic dwindles to nothing on 30th Avenue. And, like the nighthawk that, now and then, dips from its perch to soar silently 'round its meadow, seeking its prey, Barton squashes his cigarette and leaves his observation post for the inner campus. Driving slowly, window down, he listens, and his eyes follow the ever moving spotlight that sweeps, prob.es, and searches, peering into stairwells, parked cars, and dark alleyways. He accounts for things in proper places, checking them off on a checksheet. He stops--leaves his car to check the central heating plant, with its huge blue and orange pipes and assorted gauges. The massive transformers hum contentedly as Barton demonstrates with pride how he can push a certain button on the complex Honeywell computer panel and be instantly informed of the temperatures in any building on campus. He takes a short coffee break with the custodial crew and politely corrects someone's comment about Jeffersonian democracy. The unsolved mystery he rattles off a list of homespun categories of the night visitors who often make his job interesting: ''The kiss and giggle crowd (young lovers), the drunks, the campers (overnight transients), and worst of all, poachers. -' 'Oh God!'' he says of the illegal deer hunters, ''They've been -~~-so thick at times ... honest to God, one night there was actually a traffic jam in the south parking lot! It's not my job to stop poaching, but that's ridiculous. ''My concern is for the safety of the school and the trouble is that those people get up there in the woods and forget where they are ... a couple of years ago, we picked bullets out of the paneling on the second floor of the Center Building.'' Barton places a high priority on preventing the poachers from gaining access to the hills behind the campus and says he's usually successful. ____ _ "Anymore, it's almost comical ... their excuse_s ... I've heard them all. The favorite is 'we just like to look at 'em' (the deer). Can you imagine? Here's a couple of guys up here at three o'clock in the morning in a four-wheel drive pick-up and a whole rack of rifles saying 'we just like to look at 'em."' Barton says the campers are a year 'round problem to contend with but are •worst in the summertime. '' There are a lot of young people traveling north ... or south in the summer and somewhere the word seems to come down that the campus is fair game for camping . . . and they come in here in droves. ''But usually they're pretty good. If we can get to them before they get set up and comfortable they will usually move right out. "I'm not a cop. But part of my job is to keep people off the campus who don't belong here. So when I spot a trespasser, I get to him as soon as I can. Sometimes, justthepsychologicaleffectof my presence will cause him to leave. If not, I try to meet him on his own level--to understand where he's coming from--and it usually works. Ninetimesoutoften, iflpolitelyasksomeonetoleave, they leave politely. Calling the (Lane County) sheriff is my last resort." He's called the sheriff more than once. ''One night I found a guy camped out on the grass. He had three dogs tied to a tree, some paintings set up here and there, and he was flaked out on the grass- -no sleeping bag or jacket--just at-shirt, and it was a cold night. I explained to him that he was going to have to leave--that he couldn't stay there. He told me he was staying and that if I continued to hassle him, he'd turn his dogs loose and they'd 'eat me up!' I called the sheriff's office. "But when the deputy showed up, the guy didn't even argue .. "Some people, I guess, just have to test you." More recently, Barton was involved in an incident that he describes as possibly his most harrowing. A suspect who had allegedly been living alone in the hills behind the campus was reported to be hiding in the Center Building. Barton rushed to the scene and, after a lengthy room-by-room search, the suspect was flushed out. A foot chase ensued that involved Barton and other night crew personnel. Just as it appeared the man had escaped, he dashed out of the dark right into .. Barton's arms. Barton wrestled him to the ground and ''it was raining hard and I had the guy laying there on the concrete ... made sure he wasn't going to try anything ... we were both soaking wet . . . and then I got him out of the rain and called the sheriff.'' The man was then arrested and charged with criminal trespass and theft. Back on patrol. As Barton makes a check behind the physical education building, he describes one mystery at LCC he has never been able to solve. He calls it the' 'phantom car effect.'' One of the first things he does on his shift is to make a thorough count of every vehicle on the campus. By making periodic checks throughout the night, he is then able to spot any vehicles that might have slipped onto the campus undetected. ''But sometimes, in the middle of the night, a car or two will leave. I'll quickly recount the . cars I'm supposed to have and none will be missing. '' "But I have a theory," he says, joking. "Somewhere on this campus--in the automotive department, I think--someone is building cars!" And through the night, Barton jokes, reminisees, philosophizes, and describes the job he takes so seriously. '' Security goes on 365 days a year,'' he says. ''Weekends, holidays, summers and winters ... day in and day out. Every season ... every shift carries its own unique set of problems, and the trick is to be aware of what conditions you're operating under ... what kind of people you're going to be dealing with. "This college was not designed for security, so we really have to stay on our toes. There's a tremendous public investment here and it's an excellent school. So I make an effort to use every bit of knowledge I have to see that it stays that way." . ., -::1 · A call comes on his walkie talkie from the custodial foreman about a locker that has been found open. It c;ontains gasoline. ''Damn! '' says Barton, as he speeds to the scene. He speaks to the employee who discovered it. Nothing is missing. Apparently another crewman on another shift left it open. Barton returns to his car, relieved. '' I don't like anything going wrong on my shift.''

Diamo ndmen regain first place in OCCA A title race by Steve Myers The men's baseball team regained the lead in the Oregon Community College Athletic Association's (OCCAA) baseball title race. The Titans split a double header with Linn-Benton Community College and swept a pair from Concordia Community College last week. Lane now boasts a league record of 11-3 while former league leader Linn-Benton falls to 10-4. The Titans are now preparing for the final 12 league games of the season with hopes of winning the league crown and earning a trip to the regional playoffs to be held in Idaho sometime in mid-May. Head Coach Duane Miller feels that his team has the potential to win the crown if they don't lose sight of their goal. "We've played well all season long and been right in here until the end of every game, even the ones we've lost. The only bad game we've had was against Umpqua. We didn't have our heads in that one at all." "We've done well defensively and at the (Tony) Stearns has done the job so far and plate.

"In fact we led the second game 2-1 until the fifth inning. Our pitcher started throwing the ball up and then they statted to connect. We couldn't make up the defecit.'' The highlight of last week's action came on Sunday when the Titans powered out 24 base hits to easily sweep a double header from Concordia 8-0 and 8-1. Miller singled out Mike Reese for his play in the game. '' Mike really hit the ball well. He hit the ball out of the park once and did it again ... almost." Lane's pitching took precedent over the offensive barrage. Tim Kamrneyer hurled his best game_ of the season in the second gameofthetwinbill. Hethrewa three-hitter, much to the delight of Miller.

Hood Relays, although LCC's distancemen set two new meet marks in the 3,200 and 6,400 meter relays (equivalent to two and four miles). Lane easily outclassed a CSI team that men's coach Al Tarpenning called a '' definite darkhorse'' for the regional title in pre-season forecasts.

This ''drama to end all dramas'' was strangely undramatic. And it lacked the degree of hard-hitting emotionalism that most viewers were expe~ting. This is clearly at odds with Gerald Green's intention to ''narrow the focus and study the small picture'' in order that the incredible statistics of the holocaust might not seem so dispassionate and phlegmatic. At this lapse in time, one question dominates consideration of Hitler's appalling crime: How could it possibly have been allowed to happen? To understand the answer, one must understand the mass movement mentality of the Nazis. That's where social philosopher Eric Hoffer' s study, "The True Believer" is most instructive. And it is interesting to see how Green's script bears his theories out. Hoffer suggests that Hitler's hatred for the Jews was politically expedient in so far as it provided his regime with a ''vivid and tangible devil" against which he and his followers could level their attacks. AntiSemitism virtually united . the large and diverse populations of Poland, Romania, Hungary and France. The more unreasona~lethe hatred, Hoffer says, the better, because it is chiefly the unreasonable hatreds that "drive us to merge with those who hate as we do.'' Consequently, Hitler's Final Solution was merely a sort of'' cognitive dissonance,'' or inevitable defense tactic for his initial, less drastic anti-Semitism -- the hatred which •rallied his supporters as early as 1933. Hoffer writes, ''The most effective way to silence a guilty conscience is to convince ourselves and others that those we have sinned against are worthy of our hatred, worthy e~en of extermination.'' Recall how forcefully Green illustrated this philosophy in the character of Eric Dorf (Michael Moriarty), the calculating SS officer who virtually assuaged his guilt by devising more and more heinously "efficient" methods of execution. good of all that anguish?'' The question is appropriately asked regarding the holocaust, even if the answer is much more difficult. If would be maudlin for me to hazard a detailed guess, but perhaps the "good," if there is any at . all, is the bloodshed and cruelty that memory even if some factions do view an enterprise like "Holocaust" to be more a Zionist equivalent of the Irish battle of the Boyne -that centuries-long annual rekindling of bitterness and resentment -- than a valuable lesson is history. Will Durant said that the ''-past is the In a moment of soul-bearing to his wife, Dorf pleads with her to tell his survivors that he was just "following orders," just doing his duty, and that his monstrous deeds were critical to the fate of the Fatherland. This leads us to a final phenomenon of the mass movement mentality which Hoffer described and which Green made constantly apparent in his script: ''When we lose our individuality in the corporateness.of a mass movement, we find a new freedom -freedom to hate, lie, bully, torture, murder and betray without shame or remorse." He adds, "There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement.'' This, above all, was the stark lesson of "Holocaust." It is unfortunate that a program like "Holocaust" should have been in any way politically inexpedient, or that it should have been strictured by the crass commercialism which either impelled it or characterized its production. The humanitarian would like to believe that Nielsen ratings and a big advertising contract with Wheat Thins fiad nothing to do with the motives of NBC programmers. Newsweek analyst Meg Greenfield recently devoted her column to the tenth anniversaries of "everything bloody and painful and heavy in our collective political memory," and asked, "How do we get the of the holocaust will prevent, even though, ,present unrolled for understanding." How as we look around us, we are disheartened to - can we 'understand lest we unroll the past learn how easily men •are still led from time to time and take a good, hard look. monstrously astray and how little mankind As Hannah Vogt has written, "To the seems to have been instructed thereby. injustice committed in our name, we must Nevert~eless, th~_memory should live on, not add the injustice of forgetting.''
