LCC levy squeaks by voters;
.class, job cutbacks avoided
by Sarah Jenkins

p oto by Jeff P'itterson

You fought the crowds, the computer, but...

with 40 more courses listed in the registration tabloid, 136 more class sections
available, and a total of 1,633 more seats ready for occupancy in the LCC ,
classroom, the course enrollment may have slipped 993 from the fall term
figure of last year. Maybe.
Bob Marshall, director of admissions, points out that the most recent figures
do not include late registration totals. Late registration will end Sept. 29.
"I can't speculate at this point what the final figures will be, Marshall
admitted, "and it's too early to tell if enrollment is, in fact, down."
Marshall says there does seem to be some changing patterns developing in
enrollment figures when compared with last year's. The evening program •
enrollment is up, but students don't appear- to be enrolling in both day and
night classes. And the staff newsletter, "The Daily," reported on the last day
of the regular registration period that there were increases from last year in
Special Programs, Mass Communication, and Language Arts Departments,
while decreases were appearing in the enrollments of the Social Science, and
Art & Applied Design Departments.

Board holds long sessionresolves various issues
by Steve Myers

Exhibiting unusual levity at last night's
meeting, the LCC Board of Education
agreed on all the agenda items.
In a three and one half hour session,
the board approved 11 topics ranging ·from
the president's evaluation to KLCC Advisory Commission selections.

After extensive debate, the board unamimously passed board member Les Henrickson's motion requesting LCC President Eldon Schafer and his staff meet with
representative groups from the college and
decide what questions should be included
on an appraisal of the president's performance.
This decision confirmed the board's
desire to obtain data from other segments
of the college population before going
ahead with the evaluation process. It
urged Schafer to solicit student and staff
participation in development of the evaluation questions.
Board members felt that if the evaluation
process was to be of any value it should be
as comprehensive as possible.
In other business:
• The board filled four vacancies on the
seven-member KLCC Advisory Commission. Named to the commission were Alan
Scott, attorney; Michael Makela, KV ALTV reporter; Sharon Genasci, filmmaker;
and Charles Kraus, writer/entertainer and
broadcaster.
• Jim Rear, owner of Rear's Manufacturing in Eugene, was nominated to the final
position on the LCC Budget Committee by
board member Jim Pitney. The board
voiced its unamimous approval of - the
selection.
In recommending Rear, Pitney reflected
the mood of the lengthy session.
'' He is an excellent choice.'' Pitney said
of Rear.
"He's about Mrs. (Board
Member Charlene) Curry's age ... he has
grandchildren.''
To which Curry jokingly replied, "He
must be a very young grandfather.''

With over a 2,000 vote margin, Lane
County voters have approved LCC's
$555,000 tax levy. The Sept. 19 election was
the last chance on the ballot for the measure,
which was designed to balance LCC's
1978-79 budget.
College officials, including President
Eldon Schafer, had feared that the
"taxpayers' revolt," symbolized by Measures 6 and 11, . would jeopardize the
measure's passage. But with nine out of 10
Lane County school budgets receiving
approval, the fears were apparently
unfounded.
This was the third appearance of an LCC
tax measure this year. Measures which
would have provided the college with an
additional $784,000 in property taxes were
defeated in May and June.

However, this most recent tax request
reflected a cut of29 percent, which may have
been the determining factor at the polls. The
vote tally was 13,904 to 11,791.
Schafer had stated that failure of the
measure could have meant cutbacks in class
schedules during winter and spring terms.
He had also been instructed by the Board of
Education to freeze all college hiring, except
that which he deemed "essential."
According to the president, hiring should
now be more' 'timely'' than it has been since
the budget difficulties began last year.
The $555,000 represents an increase
outside the constitutional six percent
limitation of the tax base, which is currently
$5.2 million.
Approval of the levy increased the local
property tax for LCC from last year's $1.35
per $1,000 assessed value to an estimated
$1.37 for this year.

'I felt an emptiness ...'

Setting new goals

by Frank Babcock

Philosophical one moment-farcical
the next; modish hair, beard and
wire-rimmed glasses - happily married
and owner of an immaculate suburban
home. At 26, Bob Waite is a study of
contrasts.
And that duality in his character
reflects the contrasting roles he has
filled since graduating from a small
coastal high school.
Today, Waite is settling down and
setting goals - and is cynical about his
past.
"My only goal in hiqh school." he
says, "was to leave my home town."
''Well, I had kind of a goal to be a
half-crazed Albanian dwarf, but I was
too tall and they wouldn't take me.
''So anyway, in 1970, the way you
escaped your home town was to get on
highway-stick out thumb, which I did .
I hitch-hiked all the way to the next
town-seven miles away.
"I then became a 'pasty-faced peace
freak.' ''
Waite's tenure as a Viet Nam era
pacifist was highlighted by' 'just doing a
lot of talking about some heavy duty
stuff. I was not into violence,'' he says,
"because I didn't think it was a good
way to go.
''However,'' he says, raising an
index finger, "I did have a friend who
was going to blow up a GeorgiaPacific pulp mill with 12 sticks of
dynamite. With 12 sticks he might have
gotten the guard shack-maybe.
"But, alas, he was arrested with the
dynamite in his possession before he
had the opportunity to use it . He ended
up in the Marine Corps. Today he's as
straight as anybody."

Waite then moved to Spokane,
Wash. for a while where he odd-jobbed
from janitor of a sheet music store to
manager of a car wash. It was in Spokane
where he met Margaret, now his wife.;.

Bob Waite has a new set of goals. But he
once aspired to be an Albanian dwarf.

Marriage required a new outlook:
"Good heavens! What self-respecting
pasty-faced peace freak would get
married?"
His home town wedding was followed
by a home town job in a plywood plant.
''But after a while I began to realize that
the mill was just an 'ant farm' for the
town and I was getting bored . That's
when we came here (Eugene).
• '' I then became a car salesman and
wore a suit.

Beginning August 26 an air of
excitement has been mounting for the
community colleges in Oregon. The
ASLCC hosted a Community Colleges of
Oregon Student Association and Commissions (CCOSAC) meeting at Heceta
Head. There were nine of thirteen
schools represented. It was apparent
that a change is happening in all of
Oregon's community colleges. There
has been a steady awareness by faculty
and administration of the problems that
communitv colleqe students face. Thev
no longer want to be narrow-minded
and turn their students off to education. Due to this, you will find your
instructors providing more alternatives.
I must reflect on my first term at Lane
Community College. The support and
encouragement given to me by my
instructors made all the difference in the
world. Thishasledmetoboastaboutthe
exceptional faculty and staff at LCC.
There is a feeling of care and concern. I
feel that all returning and new students
. should have as positive an experience as
Ihavehad. We, the Senate, intend to see
that this type of contact between staff
and student continues. It is the feeling of
myself, my cabinet and the Senate to do
whatever is possible for the students to
see that their time in school is an
enjoyable one .
One of the things that we have felt is
essential to acco~plish this is the
publication of a Teacher and Course
Description. This booklet will contain
specific information about the instructor and give a conscientious outline of the
course emphasis. This booklet intends
to enlighten the student on the method
of instruction - lecture and evaluation
(grading process)- used by each instructor.
Also we intend to , by whatever means
possible , give the student body
pertinent policy changes as we receive
them from those students serving on

various college committees. We have all
dedicated ourselves to be in touch with
the needs and feelings of all the
students, including the night students,
the Downtown students and all the
outreach students. Already we have
been looking into such things as student
lounges, quality and variety in Food
Services, discounts for ID cardholders,
the PE towel and gym clothes shortage,
how measures 6 and 11 will affect the
student , and the possibility of student
participation in collective bargaining on
campus .
It has been our concern that there be
student activities such as: Performances, lectures, and exhibits during the
hours that most students are here at
Lane to give you more variety.
We have been working all summer
familiarizing ourselves with the school
system to find out where the system
might be failing you and supplying our
energiestomakeitworkforyou . We feel
that we have a fair understanding and
can help you with almost any problem or
question.
The Student Resource Center (SRC)
is now fully staffed and working to
provide more and better services than
ever before in transportation, housing ,
child care referral, voter registration ,
recycling , ID photo program , coupon
exchange, OSPIRG, and community
services referral. Our lawyer (Joe
McKeever) is back and will be holding
office hours starting Sept. 28.
There are now available four Senate
positions to be filled by new students of
Lane. Positions are also available on
numerous college committees which are
responsible to President Eldon Schafer.
Education still is and always will be
the backbone of the community. It is
through knowledge that we grow and
solve our problems. It is my hope that
through education we will all learn to
recognize one another 's gifts and
abilities and that these abilities will be
acknowledged as they mature.

New hoard member questions LCC policies
by Steve Myers
"I may talk boldly, but I move slowly,"
clarified Les Hendrickson, one of the new
LCC Board of Education members.
In a Sept. 21 TORCH interview,
Hendrickson, whose full-time work is in
curriculum evaluation for the Eugene
School District, explained why he thinks he
has come under a lot of criticism in his boldsome say agressive-questioning into LCC
administrative policy.
Much of the criticism stems from a series
of letters which he wrote to college
administrators after his election to the board
April 4. The letters asked questions about
college expenditures - travel budgets for
deans, for example, and the costs of the
ACCESS program.
In a July work session, the other six board
members attempted to halt Hendrickson's
individual attempts to acquire information.
The board reminded him of its normal
or standard procedure for obtaining
data, and for making decisions on the data.
But last week Hendrickson told the
TORCH he had never planned making any
decision on his own. He simply wanted
information which was available to the
public through the Freedom of Information
Act.
"I see a board member's role as figuring
out the right thing to do," he added, "and
the college administration's role as figuring
out how to do it. I don't see how limiting
board member's access to the institution's
employees will help board members in that
role. It seems to me that board members
should be encouraged to ask questions,'' he
said. "The classic problem with a board,"
Hendrickson concluded, ''is that they don't
give enough time to the institution."
LCC Board of Education Chairman Larry
Perry countered in a phone interview last
week, ''One board member should not be
demanding information that requires a lot of
research. This type of request should come
from the entire board." Perry said the
reason is simple.: "It's not fair to the
administrators, because time taken away
from them is time taken away from the
college."
Since his fellow board members objected
to Hendrickson's personal inquiries, he
admits he has curbed his questioning of
administrators. "I understand that calling

up some or the deans and asking for'
information may make them uncomfortable,'' he~xplaine~. However, he says that
staff people still offer him their views
and information.
Some speculation has arisen to whether
Hendrickson's dogged pursuit of administrative information is a result of the
college's termination of his wife, a staff
employee, in March of 1977.
Dr. Sarah Hendrickson was a part-time
physician for the Student Health Services
during the 1976-1977 school year. The firing
came due to conflicts between her and

Les Hendrickson, LCC board of education
member, has com-e under a lot of criticism
photo by Jeff Patterson
lately. .

Health Services Director Laura Oswalt. But
according to Hendrickson his wife was fired
because "she backed up staff members"
(whom Oswalt had reprimanded). Hendrickson denied this past event affects his
decisions as a member of the board. But the
incident, in fact, focused his attention on the
possibility of running for a board seat. And it
did, he admits, raise some questions about
the Student Health Services.
"It raises a budgetary question ... , " he
elaborated. ''What is the extent of the
desirability of having a full-time director
(Oswalt) in the health services?" he asks.
''The operation doesn't seem to have a large
enough patient load and complex volume to
justify a full-time administrative salary. I

think that perhaps a half-time salary would
be better.''
Yet Hendrickson is quick to add that he
hasn't come to any final conclusions. He
admits '' any conclusions you come to alone
can be wrong."
Jack Carter, dean of students, is directly in
charge of the health services and he feels
that the service does warrant a full-time

the ACCESS Corporation, which is develop
ing videotaped instruction moduies fo
college courses.
''The costs of the ACCESS program an
probably greater than $300,000. However
the board has not yet seen a full accounting o
the costs. Nor has the board seen ar
estimation of the profitability.''
"Is this a speculative capital invest

'Should the board members consider
j),
having an outside auditor come in. .. .
administrative salary.
"In my judgment we need someone to
monitor the place at all times," he stated.
'' Should student usage drop, then I would
consider a half-time salary."
Carter also pointed out that usage of the
Student Health Services picked up during
the last three months of the 1977-78 year.
SHS Director Oswalt states firmly, "I've
been here seven years and I'm busy all the
time." And Oswalt told the TORCH that
patient visits to the health services dropped
from the 1976-77 daily average of66.1 to 52. 7
last year. However, she explains that the
relocation of the service (from the
Health/PE Building to the Center Building)
at the beginning of last school year, and the
construction around the new location site
kept down usage of the service.
Hendrickson also wonders about other
college expenditures besides those incurred
,by administrators. He doubts that the
envisioned construction of an olympic-size
swimming pool, in Phase II of the
Health-Aquatics and PE Building, is an
appropriate expenditure of funds. He also
raises questions about college spending on

ment?" he queried. "Should the board
members consider having an outside auditor
come in and establish what its (ACCESS)
costs are and what its probable returns to the
college are?
'' What if we put the money in the bank,
would we get the same return?"
Dean of Instruction Gerald Rasmussen
stated that ''to the best of my knowledge a
full report had been given to the board in
February of 1978.'' This report stated that
the ACCESS program had spent $245,845.19
since it began operation in 1975.
Rasmussen went on to add, '' ACCESS is
not a speculative -investment. It is a
curriculum development project. The Cambridge Press is offering the tape and video
text for sale and money will be returned to
the college for further curriculum development.''
In general, Hendrickson respects many
college administrators and says they run the
institution well. But he is quick to point out
that ''there could be better planning, bet'-er
cost control and tighter management.'' And,

Rely on your textbooks

It's the beginning of a new semester ... Th_is time you're
going to do it right. This time it's .i 4.0, or maybe a 3.5. This time
you'll keep up with the readings.
And the way to keep up is to buy your own textbooks.
They're always there when you need them, not just when a

ARC'S "GALAC TJCA"

by Paul Land

Loused Up In Space

If nothing else, ABC-TV's new series
"Battlestar Galactica" proves that Westerns can still make it on TV.
I mean, look at the evidence: good guys
chasing bad guys-chasin g good guys, bad
guys shooting at good guys and missing,
good guys shooting at bad guys and not
missing, saloons; complete with worldly
women (or is it other-worldly women?),
Lorne Greene, commander of the Battlestar
Ponderosa-o ops, make that Galacticasending his kids off to battle.
Judging by the three-hour first episode,
Battlestar Galactica (BSG for short) will
probably blast off with out-of-this-world
ratings. Of course, ratings are not usually a
good judge of quality; Miss America
managed to displace all but two episodes of
··Roots'·from the top of the Nielsens earlier
this month. But, BSG will probably survive
the season, if only for its magnificent special
effects.
I say "if only'' because the effects are just
about all the show has going for it. The
"plot" (actually it's more like Silly Putty) is
embarassingl y thin. The opening episode
was excruciatingly long and pretty boring. It
exhibited the standard reverse bell-shaped

curve used in 98 % of all action shows: lots of
action at the beginning, lots of padding in the
middle, lots of action at the end.
The real story of BSG, however, is in
the near mirror-image of Star Wars. Not
content to let the similarity end at the effects
level, the plot borrows heavily from that of
the movie. To wit: an evil force seeks to
eliminate all good from the universe. One
lonely ship (the BSG) stands between the
Cylons (that's the bad guys) and Earth.
There's a young fighter pilot, a crusty
veteran pilot, robots, space maidens, etc.
etc. ad nauseam.
The acting, too, is pretty thin, with Lorne
Greene showing his greatest form since
"Tidal Wave," Effects-wise, BSG makes
Star Trek look like My Favorite Martian.
Talent-wise, Star Trek makes BSG look like
the Gong Show.
Others have notked the resemblance to
Star Wars . . . notably 20th Century Fox,
producers of Star Wars, who have sued
Universal for $3 million, charging copyright
infringement. Universal has, in turn,
countersued Fox, alleging that Fox copied
Star Wars from its own 1972 movie, "Silent

Boston plays to roaring crowd of 10,000
by Steve Myers

The heavy metal band "Boston" startled
and overwhelmed the capacity crowd at
MacArthur Court throughout its two hour
performance, Thursday Sept. 14.
The five piece ensemble blasted out song
after song to an enthusiastic crowd of 10,000
hand clapping, foot stomping, screaming
fans. The group played songs from its new
album "Don't Look Backn and its first LP
release entitled "Boston."

into even louder musical selections.
The crowd's excitement can partially be
justified by the amount of energy the band
me~bers put into their show and the stage
presence they generate. Ev~n with the
acoustics as bad as they were, I found
my eyes glued to the show the musicians put
on. Bass guitarist, Fran Sheehan, was
constant rhythm in motion as he danced the
night away behind guitarist/singer Delp.
But Delp was the true star of the show and he
was not afraid to show it. When he wasn't
playing his guitar, he was prancing around
the stage singing lyrics or shaking hands
with front row fans.
Boston's musical selection consisted
entirely of hit songs from its first album and
latest release "Don't Look Back" (which
sounds almost exactly like the first album). I
believe that most of this band's concert

problems stem from the technical aspects of
creating or recreating its music. The success
that Boston enjoyed on its albums is greatly
due to the genius of guitarist/lceyboardist
Scholz. A fanatical fan of electronical sound

in music, Scholz has used his talent for
creating electronic music with a great degree
of success in Boston's albums. But his
concert performance leads me to believe that

Boston plays a brand of music which can
only be described as . . . loud. In fact, the
music was loud enough that it could be heard
up to three blocks away from the concrete
and steel fortress in the center of the U of 0
campus.
However, volume does not always
indicate quality in musical performances.
Sometimes it tends to be distracting, which
was the case with this electric combo.
Throughout the concert the singing voices
of the guitarists Tom Scholz and Brad Delp
could barely be heard. At times they were
completely inaudible. This is unfortunate
because I find the harmony of their voices
pleasing in such songs as '' More Than A
Feeling" and "Something About You."
These songs were also distorted and left me
less than satisfied with Boston's highly
publicized concert sound system.
MacArthur Court has been blamed for
ruining earlier concerts, but people have
protested the lack of volume rather than the
overabundance of it. Boston should have
turned its amplifiers down and featured
voices instead of screeching guitar chords.
As it was, the assemblage sitting in the
floor section (about 2,000 people) of the gym
found Boston's concert music much to its
liking and spent more time standing on the
chairs rather than sitting on them. This
crowd reaction was well received by the
rocksters on stage and spurred the combo

Going Jogging ?

Photos and Story -by Jeff Patterson
With jogging quickly becoming one of
America ' s favorite pastimes for the
young and not-so-young, LCC is
keeping up the pace .
For those of you new to the college and
new to jogging, there are many trails
surrounding the campus to be explored.
If you have signed up for a beginning
jogging class, names like the Power
Plant, Bloomburg Road, Poison Ivy
Lane , and the Turkey Trot may become
all too familiar to you during the next ten
weeks .

On an average day with good weather
many joggers can be seen putting laps
around the track and around the school.
Many instructor s, counselors , students
and others find time in their busy
schedules to put on a sweat suit and hit
the trails for a good three to six mile run.
Some of the more hard-core joggers go
even further.
Some of the trails are on paved roads
while others are well trodden pathways
maintaine d by the college. They are
usable most of the year except during
heavy winter rains . The biggest
problem, according to Kurt Shultz, LCC
jogging instructor, is dirt bikes and
four-wheel drive vehicles.
These paths range from one and one
half to fourteen and one half miles in
length. The most popular distances for
runners are between two and five miles.
So if you want to chart your own
course or get an idea of what you might
be in for in your beginning jogging class,
go downstair s in the Physical Education Building and you can find a map
listing the most popular and not-sopopular jogging trails around the
college.
The map is located in front of the
men's locker room, next to the weight
training room.

student .

Students enrolling in PE classes.o r
in courses where tools and

LCC students who want to purchase health
insurance for the 1978-79 school year must
buy their policies before Oct. 13, 1978.
Maternity benefits have been added to
this year's policy.
Insurance has previously been available to
students throughout the year. However, this
year the policies will only be sold during the
first three weeks of the fall term.
Laura Oswalt, director of Student Health
Services at LCC, says that this year's student
insurance program is ''discriminating''
because students who enter school during
the winter and spring terms will be excluded
from the program.
According to Dean of Students Jack
Carter, the administration has attempted to
locate an insurance carrier that would make
the insurance available to students during
the winter and spring terms, but this has not
been possible. Carter said because of the
addition of maternity benefits in this year's
policies, most insurance companies are
unwilling to risk selling low-priced policies
to students.
Insurance for a single person costs $93. 90
per year. A student with one dependent may
purchase coverage for S191.35 and a student
with two or more dependents will pay
$267.90. The insurance is $100 deductible
and pays 80% of students' accident or
medical expenses.
Students who need more information can
direct their questions to the Student Health
Service, located in Room 126 of the Center.

MD guide saves steps

Shopping for a doctor, for whatever
reason, can be vaguely harrowing vague because not too many concrete
comparisons are available, and harrowing because you never know for
sure until you've made your first visit
to any doctor.
Across the country medical societies
have taken steps toward helping
''doctor shoppers.'' Efforts vary from
state to state and even county to
county, but doctors are becoming
increasingly aware that their patients
are also consumers.
The Lane County Medical Society,
which represents about 93 percent of
the area doctors, has a physician
referral line which isopenfrom I0a.m.
to noon and 1:30 to 3 p.m. Monday
through Friday. That number is
686-1356.
According to Mickie Duke, executive director of the society, the
information available is very general.

Cost cutting
earnsawara
Washington--Lane Community College
has been awarded $1,000 in recognition of its
winning proposal in the third annual Cost
Reduction Incentive Awards Program. The
program is sponsored jointly by the National
Association of College and University
Business Officers (NACUBO) and the U.S.
Steel Foundation.
The college saved $1 million last year in
participating in the government's Federal
Excess Property Program. Through their
participation, Lane was able to greatly
extend the buying power offunds earmarked
both for capital equipment acquisition and
for other, consumable materials.
The award was announced by William A.
Gregory, Jr. , assistant executive director of
the U.S. Steel Foundation, during the
NACUBO annual meeting in Montreal. The
39 winning proposals represent a total
annual savings on those campuses of nearly
$10 million.
The Cost Reduction Incentive Awards
Program was conceived as a means of
recognizing, atthe national level , successful
cost reduction ventures within colleges and
universities.

No fee scales or personal evaluations
are available.
•One referral line operator explains
that she tries to interview the callers to
determine their specific problems and
then refer them to a local doctor who is
taking new patients and deals with
those types of problems. While not
scientific, she says that her method is
simply to use her best judgment in
matching potential patients to doctors.
Referral line operators give out
names of three doctors, but cannot
state a preference.
Handling over 600calls a month, the
referral line is sometimes swamped
and callers have to be persistentbusy signals are more common than
open lines.
But the referral line was not always
the sole source of information for Lane
County medical consumers. In 1975
the society and CARES Referral
Service went together to publish a
consumer directory of doctors. The
booklet wasoneof the first in the nation :
comprehensively to list area doctors,
along with their office hours, some
background information, their specialties, and if they were accepting new
patients at that time.
However, as Duke explains it, with a
$1.50 price tag it was not a best seller.
Out of the original printing of 1,000
copies there are still about 200 of the
pamphlets lying around somewhere.
- But cost was not the only problem.
By the time the information was
compiled and printed, much of it was
out of date. Some doctors had stopped
accepting new patients, others
switched their specialties, and still
others changed their office hours .
The referral line, on the other hand ,
makes it possible to continually update
information.
Not to be outdone , the Lane County
Dental Society also has a referral line
(686-1175) . In helping people locate a
local dentist, it offers basically the
same information as the medical
society line. However , Dental Society
operators can also help parents find a
dentist who specializes in children 's
dental care .
That line is open from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. Monday through Friday and is
not as heavily used as the medical line.

Staying healthy
isn't that tough

A letter to all LCC Students from Dr.
Staywell and the Student Health Service
Staff, Fall Tenn 1978.
Dear Student:
It pays to stay well!
The high (and going higher) cost of your
care, should you get sick, can wipe out your
•
bank roll qmckly.
What are those costs?
-Average office call to see a doctor $15 to $20
(usually more for the first visit)
-Average daily rate in a hospital$185to$200
plus
-Average charge for emergency room
'
service $45 to $50
The question might be, how to stay well.
Most of the responsibility is your own.
Modern medicine, besides being costly,
can't do the impossible! You have to assume
responsibility for operation and upkeep; the
same as for your car.
How?
1. Keep your immunizations up to date.
2. Sleep 7 to 8 hours each night.
3. Eat 3 regular well-balanced meals per
day.
4. Take time out for recreation and
relaxation.
5. Exercise daily.
6. Avoid internal pollutants, e.g. cigarette
smoke, drugs, alcohol.
7. Maintain moderate weight.
Given the fact that you have tried to do the
standard things to maintain your health, but
that stress factors of one kind or another
impede your health balance, POW!, the ever
ready bugs in our environment find a chink in
your armor and you are sick. What to do? Try
to rest more, maintain your nutrition, and
give your body a chance to fight back. If you
find this is not working, or if your symptoms
escalate, you may need to seek help from a

Personnel changes in Health & P·E·

Bates plays double role--athle tic director, basketball coach
by Ed Peters
The appointment of basketball coach Dale
Bates as the new LCC athletic diJ'ector
heads the list of a half-dozen personnel
changes or additions in the Athletic and
Health & Physical Education Department
staffs this year.
Bates wilI split his work load between
teaching, coaching basketball, and directing
the Athletic Department-but he says he'll
also have an assistant to aid him.
In other administrative changes, Bob
Radcliff ·who was the former Intramural
Director is now the new Division Chairman of
the Health and Physical Education Depart-

ment.
Besides bolstering their administrative
staff, the Physical Education Department
wil1 also get additional coaching help. LCC
has hired Jeorganne McKellar-Smith to
coach the women's extramural volleyball
.
program for the winter term.
The tennis program has also been
reorganized. Don Wilson will now be the
Head Tennis Coach for both the men's and
women's programs. In addition they are in
the process of trying to hire a woman for the
position of Assistant Tennis Coach.
The track program under Head Coach AI

Tarpenning will also be getting coaching
help. Mike Manley, an Olympic steeple
chaser, will be an Assistant Cross Country
Coach as well as teaching jogging classes in
the spring. The track program will also get
another assistant who will be hired later.
Bates also said that an assistant
wrestling coach's position will be added and
will be filled shortly.
Bates thinks that by adding the women to
the OCCAA Conference it will strengthen
Lane's women's program and will make it
possible to have back-to-back track meets for
men and women as well as double-headers in
basketball. This will mean a better
utilization of facilities, the sharing of travel
expenses and a better attendance at games.
Bates received his Bachelor of ·Science
degree in 1957 from Southern Oregon
College, Ashland. From 1957 to 1960, Bates
coached in Medford Junior High School.
From there he moved on to Eagle Point High
School and coached from 1960 to 1965 with a
21-win and 3 lost record.
In 1965 Bates came to Eugene to get his
Master of Science degree from the
University of Oregon. He then went to the
Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath
Falls as an Assistant Basketball Coach for

Dale Bates was named athletic director this summer. He has been at LCC since 1973 and has
led two basketball teams to Oregon Community College Athletic Assoc. [OCCAA]

1968 ...in the mud . ..

Library displays LCC's past
By Frank Babcock
This term marks the 10th anniversary of
the present LCC campus.

Georgia Pacific. In addition, we had 23
places rented and scattered all over.''

And a fascinating pictorial history of
campus development will be unveiled
today on the mezzanine of the library by
LCC Archivist Margaret Knutsen. The
display will run through October.

The library display also includes photos
dating back to the beginnings of the old
Eugene Vocational-Tech school, founded in
1938, which LCC took over in 1965.

In the Fall of 1968, the campus bore little
resemblance to the present.
"We moved up here (to the present
campus) in June," says Knutsen, "and it
rained until July 1st. It started to rain again
on the 9th of August and it was utter chaos.
There were no sidewalks, and construction
was going on everywhere---it was mud,
mud, mud."
The photos bear her out. There are
incredible scenes of students sloshing to
class across muddy excavations, ducking
under building frames and cautiously
descending stairways with temporary,
two-by-four handrails.
That first tenµ there were only five
buildings occupied by students---and those
buildings were still under some phase of
construction.
"And then, to make matters worse,"
Knutsen says, "In February (winter term
1969) the big snow hit and everything came
to a halt---including the construction."
But despite those initial inconveniences
and hardships, the new campus was an
improvement over the original.
"Before we moved up here," Knutsen
says, ''we were scattered all over Eugene
and Springfield. There were three campus
locations---the Bethel campus, on Bethel
Drive, the old Eugene Vocational School
campus at 200 Nortb. Monroe St., and the
Springfield campus which was leased from

Also on display in the library through the
month of October are a Tutankhamen
exhibit and a barbed wire collection which
includes a piece of "concertina" wire from
World War II Normandy.

two seasons. From 1967 to 1973 Bates
coached basketball in Coos Bay at
Southwestern Oregon Community College,
and he accumulated an impressive 111-58
won-lost record.
While Bates has been employed at LCC
since the 1973-1974 season, he has guided
the Titans to two OCCAA (Oregon
Community College Athletic Association)
Basketball Championships and was recognized as the "Coach of the Year" in the
1974-1975 season.
In closing Coach Bates says, "I am very
excited about it. and I am looking forward to a
fine year. It is going to be a real challenge to
our staff . . . and with bringing in the .
women's programs in the conference, I am
looking forward to a very successful athletic
year.''
