@ne Comm~Jt u College 4000 East 30th Ave. Eugene, OR 97 405 Vol.16 No. 3 Oct. 5 - Oct, 12, 1978 KLCC to _join s~tellite system- plans update by Robert Anders remodeling and re-equiping at the station. I feel very positive about KLCC, and I think the station is doing good things, and the staff is doing good things,'' Dunne said. Dunne told the TORCH that with the help of enthusiastic staff members, LCC President Eldon Schafer, and the LCC Board of Education, KLCC is receiving assistance and encouragement at all levels to ensure the station's success. Wednesday, Sept. 27, LCC Board of Education appointed Gina Ing as KLCC's development director. It will be her job to find additional funds-grants, gifts, etc.for the station. (The college • currently spends $86,000 from the general fund. An additional $30,000 comes from CPB.) Aside from being an avid KLCC listener, Ing has worked six of the last eight years at LCC and has held five positions in radio and television in Missouri and Oregon. Ing' s immediate goal is to make the community aware of some of the services KLCC is already offering its listeners. The board also appointed four new members to the advisory commission to offer suggestions and advice to KLCC staff. Members of the KLCC Advisory Commission are Sharon Genasci, Ellie Gruman, Cheryl Hawkins, Charles Kraus, Michael Makela, Nancy Oft Rose and Alan Scott. KLCC Program Director Sam H~hberg maintains the day to day functions of the station and sees that program procedures run smoothly. Hochberg has been with KLCC for over a year and a half and feels the station is going to start growing again in a positive direction. ''I think KLCC has a stereotype as being a hippie organic 'station. ·I feel this is an unfair stereotype because it's never been true. It has always LCC's public radio station, KLCC, has been chosen to be one of the first stations linked to a new nationwide satellite system. Congress recently appropriated to the Corporation for million $12.3 Public Broadcasting (CPB) to develop a National Satellite Systeni (NSS). " We are now in the final third of the operation,'' explained Jim Dunne, the station's general manager, "and I would think before the year is out, KLCC will be linked together (with other CPB stations) in a National Satellite system.'' The NSS will enhance KLCC's program selection by offering unlimited variety of entertainment to KLCC' s listeners from stations across the nation. KLCC is also planning to remodel and re-equip the station with modern equipment and expand present facilities. KLCC recently purchased an OPTIMOD-FM limiter/stereo generator to enhance the loudness and audio quality simultaneously. According to Steve Barton, chief engineer, ''The limiting and compression equipment we were using before was old and it wasn't really a good design. We have also purchased a good professional tape recorder which will enhance our capabilities of production considerably,'' Barton explains. Remodeling and re-equiping the station will provide space and facilities for producing more news and public affairs programs at the station. Currently, limited studio space restricts production possibilities. Dunne feels KLCC needs modem equipment. However, KLCC will have to pay for the re-outfitting of the station. ''If we raise the money we can do some 1 Eighteen years old by Robert Anders Expressing concern with city council procedures, Richard " Rich" Evans, an 18-year-old LCC student filed a nominating petition to run for the Junction City council in the Nov. 7 general election . . The 1978 graduate of Junction City High School is currently enrolled in LCC's legal assistant program.

"I think one of the things to do is overcome the stereotype. I feel like we are ready to cook again," Hochberg said. Another area KLCC staff members are trying to improve is the news and public affairs portion of the station's daily '74 TORCH Editor back on beat i : '.

Junction City contracts for police protection from the Lane County Sheriff's Dept. which, according to Evans, should be changed so that Junction City has its own police force. "Basically, having the Sheriff's Dept. protecting us is having someone else protecting our interests. We really don't have complete control," Evans said. Evans feels he has a 50-50 chance of winning the election if citizens don't prejudge him because of his young age. At 2:30 a .m . Monday morning, Rick Bella left the scene of the spectacular Sundance Lumber Co . fire in Springfield. g He had been at the scene for eight f hours . His deadline was only 5 hours • § away. d: For the first time, Rick knew the ii pressure of being a Eugene Register: Guard reporter. --= Bella, 27, was editor of the LCC TORCH during the 1974-75 school i. year. Prior to enrolling at LCC , he had attended Fairleigh Dickenson Univer- ·::_. •- ~- and into politics by Michael Tenn ) J ·< sity in Teaneck, New Jersey , for a year as a biology major. That was in 1969. In 1972 Bella attended UO for one term to study broadcast journalism. While attending classes at LCC, Bella wrote on a freelance basis for local publications including Eugene Magazine and the Springfield News. The News was paying 25 cents an inch for copy at the time and Bella says he consequently wrote some lengthy articles for that paper . Although he didn 't get rich as a freelance writer , Bella did put together an impressive portfolio of published continued on back cover programming. KLCC's News and Public Affairs Director Don Hein feels KLCC should place more emphasis on news to keep KLCC listeners informed. "We are emphasizing more of a daily reporting of world and local events, especially loc_al. One of my ~resent goals is to try to build a strong morning news cast," Hein explains. Hein feels the station operates on a day to day basis to make sure KLCC provides a service that is both valuable to the college and to the community at large.

IT ,IOfNT. ,lt€ITT .c....,-. ..... , fPresiden t~s Cotulllnl by James Cox After appraising Measure 6, both in listening to and reading the information regarding those arguments for and against this measure, it appears to me the measure itself is a weak effort to contain the real problem ... inflation. Too much responsibility and emphasis has been placed on our tax system. It is my feeling that Measure 6 will do more harm than aood. It will take local control away from the people, plus jeopardize the financial status of our state. Measure 11 likewise is a weak attempt to curb our problem created by inflation, but it is not as damaging as Measure 6. My first feeling would be to vote no on both measures, but this would split the votes and give strength to Measure 6 and a possible victory. My recommendation is that all those opposing Measure 6 should embrace Measure 11 only because it will do less damage to the elderly, the renters, and not take local control from the people. Because of the gubernatorial race, these two measures have become the focal point for political controversy; due to the implications, I give my full support to Measure 11. I heartily urge all those voters whose concern is for our state, to become fully educated and aware of all the issues surrounding these two measures. At the Senate meeting, September 27, 1978, we appointed a new Student Resource Center (SRC) Director, Joanie Fisher. Fisher showed deep concern for student needs and imagination in how to meet those needs. One area of concern is child-care referral and development. She hopes to help take some of the pressure off students who are parents by funding child care for their children. She worked as a preschool teacher in Hawaii before moving to Eugene. She would like to have your input on the child-care services you are now using or need. Please see her or her assistant in the SRC outside adjacent to Financial Aid. TORCH Q: What Is your philosophy on education at the community college level? CURRY: "I think LCC is the single most important institution in the community of Lane County . . . in terms of the social fabric of life there is no institution which can do more for more people of all ages than the community college. "I believe in government which is as close to the people as possible-so I believe in education which is as close to the people as possible. The community college is a place where people can learn what they need to learn-what they want to learn in order to be more productive members of their community. At community colleges we don't train people to work in Oshkosh or somewhere else. We provide opportunities for people to train for jobs available in their own community. "We provide other learning opportunities also. People can go to Lane and learn to be better 'family members or learn to inter-relate better with other community members. Community colleges simply upgrade the community in which you live. They provide a richness in the coµimunity. '' Q: How do you view LCC's attempt at balancing transfer programs vs. its vocational programs? CURRY: ''When I'm campaigning I have to answer questions like 'What are all those frilly classes out at Lane?' You see I'm from Springfield and they think a community college ought to be what they call a vocational school. What . they mean by vocational is nuts and bolts-auto mechanics-you ought to have your hands greasy. "It doesn't occur to them that nursing is a vocation or that people learning radio, television and drama skills are learning their vocation. My task is to redefine vocation for them to mean learning career skills. '"Transfer courses are essential to the community college. I don't see the separation between the two. Many vocational students are required to take transfer credit courses as part of their curriculum.'' Q: How do you feel about the overcrowding which Is beginning to take place at Lane? CURRY: "It's a fact of life. "I wish there was more money for education-but there's not. I remember the good old days when money for education flowed like water. What we see is a combination of inflation, of increasing competition for the tax dollar . . . plus a backlash against overspending. "It's simply a fact that the dollars just - • are not available.'' Charlene Curry Q: How can we stop overcrowding In the classroom? CURRY: "I'm not sure if we can. It's important that we keep letting people know how important education is. I'd like to have a good society and I'd put my money into education rather than anything else. I value education so highly in terms of what a good society is. "If ·we put our money into education I think we wouldn't need so many social services to take care of juvenile delinquents and crime." Q: What do you think of the board's policy to curtail the hiring of full-time contract , teachers and only hire part-time teachers? CURRY: "I'm doing exactly that. (Curry teaches part time at the U of 0.) I would say that my short burst in there (the classroom) can be very valuable. Coming into the classroom from doing a variety of other things-being out in the real worldworking in politics-can be very valuable to students. I don't agree with the opinion that part timers lower the quality of education. ''This is happening everywhere in post secondary education. That's just the way it is. There is just not enough money around to take someone on a long contract basis. ''The other side of the coin is that hiring long-term people is the way to get a hell of a lot of dead wood hanging around and I've taught in enough institutions to resent places where people who should have left or resigned just sit around on their tenure. The tenure problem has been a controversy for a long time and this just might be a good solution." PEANUTS® by Charles M.

Today Nixon is at the top of Cleaver's ''prayer list.'' Dan Peek. founder and former lead singer of the rock group "America," was "into rock and roll for a long time," but finally decided he couldn't "hide in the bushes anymore." A year-and-a-half ago he left show business and is now writing and performing gospel music. Billy Preston, rock singer and writer of Eld.ridge Cleaver decrlbes his conversion from political extremist to "born again" Christian. Photo by Norm Babcock. such songs as "You are So Beautiful" and "Nothing From Nothing," records under two labels. One is "pop" and the other is gospel. The first label provides his living and the latter is '' a statement from the Lord." Cleaver, Peek, and Preston were in MacArthur Court last Friday night where they performed in front of a partisan audience of 750. The partisanship was for Jesus and at times there was a revival atmosphere. The turnout was a disappointment •for Unlimited Productions, Inc. (UPI), a local "sovereign body" that was recently formed to bring big name religious talent to Eugene. UPI had intended to play down the religious affiliations of the performers and attract a wide local audience. But word leaked out and, amid the impromptu gospel singing of a contingent of Christians near the front of the line, some fans who had purchased the $6.50 tickets earlier were unloading them for as little as $2. But for those who did attend the concert, it was a joyous sucess-the thunderous footstomping, handclapping, and "Morel Morel Morel" brought Preston back for two encores. And throughout the night one was reminded of Oregon basketball's '' deranged idiots.'' The concert began (45 minutes late) with a performance by another rock group, "Brush Arbor," which later played backup for Peek. As a batkup they were nice and gentle, given Mac Court's acoustics, but by themselves they were mostly ho-hum. Peek arrived on stage with a hearty "Praise the Lord," which served to fire his audience some, then sat at the piano to begin the intro to "Lonely People." Three notes later he hit a wrong key, and after that initial "oops," was off-key much of the night. Perhaps that could be attributed to jet lag, his year-and-a-half lay-off, or bad Karma. Preston w~s the star of the show and he danced, sang, and played keyboard as though the Court was packed. As a performer, he has that (God given?) ability to bring the crowd up with him emotionally and it took him about five seconds to do just that. He played a good mix of rock, religious rock, and gospel, all in the animated Billy Preston style. Halfway through an intense rendition of "God Is So Wonderful," his boom mike broke. Still driving the keyboard as a stage attendant repaired the mike, Preston said, "The Devil is tryin' to mess with my mike, but that' O.K. I'm gonna keep singin' anyway." Following Preston, Cleaver came to the stage before an audience that was, by now, "high on Jesus." And he prolonged their delirium by giving ''testimony" of his conversion from fi&t-shaking Black militant to reborn Christian. Cleaver, who spent eight years in exile to avoid prosecution for numerous alleged misdeeds while he was with the Black Panther Party, is currently free on bail. He travels from California promoting Christianity. About his conversion, he said: "It happened one night on a moonlit balcony in the south of France. I was standing there .. my life had reached the bottom of a pit ... I was holding a pistol to my head and was going to end it all. "But strange things began to happen in Are you robbing your body of vitamins?_ Bronson Pharmaceuticals can supply the answer with their FREE information on nutrition.

I saw Fidel Castro, Karl Marx, Mao Tse Tung, Friedrich Engels. Those faces faded away and then I saw another face-the face of Jesus Christ." Cleaver says it was then that he threw down his gun, dug out an old Bible and began reading "The Lord's Prayer" and ' the 23rd Psalm. "I realized then that I had to return (to the United States) and turn myself in." living in the freest country in the worldAmerica. Ten years ago, Cleaver was in Eugene screaming and waving his fist for socialism.This-night, he left with a quiet prayer. The contrast was dramatic but not • unexpected: both times he was playing his tune for the ''True Believers." Today, Cleaver says he is ready to go to court and face the consequences of the charges against him. He feels the truth and his new faith will protect him. And he says that he is very relieved to once again be Dental clinic offers to clean your teeth by Karen Maller Students at LCC and anyone in the community can have their teeth cleaned and given a fluoride treatment for six dollars, according to Beth Edwards, coordinator for the Dental Hygiene Program.

This fall the LCC Department of Institutional Research and Planning will conduct a survey of former students to find out how well LCC is helping individuals to meet their goals in the ''real world.'' The study will help to assess how well classes at LCC have prepared students to move into employment or to continue their educations. A federal law, the Vocational £ducation Act of 1977, requires all institutions with vocational programs receiving federal money to evaluate their programs every five years. • This will not, however, be the first ti:r~e that LCC has participated in follow-up studies of former .students. For the past three years LCC has been involved in a statewide effort to determine the activities ' of former community college students. The study will be conducted through questionnaires mailed to community college graduates and also to former students who leave school before completing programs. But this year's survey will differ from those of previous years: The college will also contact employers of former students and ask them to evaluate the preparedness of individuals who went to work after leaving LCC. Julie Aspenwald Lamberts, who was the program evaluator for the 1974-75 study and who will be working on this year's survey, said that no changes in the curriculum or services at LCC have directly resulted from the study. In the future, however, as more data is compiled, the survey may have some influence in establishing priorities for tax money spent at LCC. Aspenwald Lamberts added that the ability to channel students into the job -----------------Staphylococcus on the loose Food germs common' by D~. Staywell and the staff of Student Health Services You feel like your stomach is upset, you feel headachy and nauseous several hours after you've eaten. You think you're coming down with the flu, but that may not be it at all! It may be because of what you ate - not the item itself, but how it was stored and handled, perhaps by you in your kitchen. Germs that poison food are everywhere in our environment - on our skin and hair, in the air, on our clothing. Dairy products, meats, and poultry also harbor germs. We can't avoid germs, but proper precautions can decrease our chances of getting sick. Wash your hands thoroughJy with soap and water before eating or preparing food. _D on't handle food if you have infected cuts on your hands. This is because a common food poisoning germ named staphylococcus is carried on the skin and in the nose and throat. It may not cause illness, but once transferred to food it. can proliferate wildly. Don't drink or eat directly from a container, or bacteria from your mouth will contaminate, flourish, and grow in the remaining contents, whether food or beverage. This increases the chances of becoming a "sick cookie." Salmonellae germs can be transferred from raw meat to uncooked vegetables if you use the same knife to cut them both. Washing the knife and your hands in hot, soapy water between cutting meat and vegetables interrupts this chain, which might otherwise grab your gut. If your mother accused you of being a slob in the kitchen, forgive her! She was only trying to protect you from illness. Food storage at the wrong temperature or in the wrong places can increase your danger. Usually manufacturers' labels will have directions for storage once opened, e.g. "refrigerate" or "keep dry." Remember that hot food should be kept ove_r 140 degrees and cold food below 40 degrees. If • you ·put fresh meat in your backpack and bicycle to the park on a warm day and stop to pick the daisies, your meat may be a thriving germ colony before you get home. Leftovers stored properly are safe, but it's wise to use them up in a day or two. And don't let the food "cool" to room temperature before you put it in the refrigerator. Cool it in a pan of ice quickly and refrigerate it at once. Clean counters and storage areas to discourage insects and mice which also carry germs to infest your food. Avoiding the dangers in your kitchen may keep you from becoming sick another way to stay well! market is not the only justification for having a particular course of study at LCC.

Brian Menselle and Jerry Hammit placed 26th and 48th with times of 32:05 and 33:01 respectively. The three competed in a field of 124.

This year's team is short on height but • • long on enthusiasm. The team's average height is about 5-6, with the exception of a couple of taller spikers. The team will rely on speed and quickness. Because of their relatively short team, McKellar-Smith will emphasize setting, and plans to develop more quality hours on weekdays and is getting better every time out. ''If we play as well as we did in the last tournament . . . and continue along that line of play, we will do very well . . . we have the potential to lead the league,'' said McKellar-Smith. McKellar-Smith gives a brief description· of the LCC women's volleyball roster: Debbie Rodgers: 5-4, Soph, Springfield H.S. Rodgers is a very quick and experienced player. She has very good form and skills but problems with her height. Her all-around ability will be a strong asset to ' Jan Helfrich: 5-4, Frosh, McKenzie H.S. Helfrich is an up and coming setter.

She is quick and coordinated and has all the basics to becoming a strong player. Ruth Mallam: 5-3½, Soph, Springfield H.S. Mallam is a very cooperative and enjoyable team member. She will be a back-up setter and defensive player. Her determination has shown in considerable improvement, • and with continued hard work, she will be a strong player. Kelly Smith: 5-3, Soph, Springfield H.S. Smith was voted team captain due to her all-around ability as a volleyball player and team leadership. She is our starting setter and even with her short stature, is talented enough to play offensively in the front row. defensive players. She also has much potential as a setter with greater experience in team play and understanding. Jeanna Garcia: 5-8, Frosh, Downers Grove North H.S., Ill. Garcia has had a lot of experience playing volleyball and it shows in her skills and enjoyment of the game. Her hard working attitude has won her a starting position as setter and offensive hitter and blocker. She is very strong and well-rounded player. Colleen Chavarria: 5-5, Frosh, Toledo H.S. Chavarria has potential to develop into a strong offensive player. Colleen is working on her jumping ability, and this will bring her the needed control that will make her a very valuable asset to the team. Sheryl Barrett: 5-7, Springfield H.S. Barrett will be trained as a center spiker and blocker. Her height lends to her ability . in that position. Linda Olsen: 5-9, Soph, Springfield H.S. A hard worker with determination, Olsen is a very cooperative and enthusiastic player. She is working on greater control and accuracy, which will add to her talent as a power hitter and blocker.

"Our girls were a little nervous playing before friends at home, but they started playing good volleyball and won the match," said Georganne McKellar-Smith, the women' coach. The game scores were 11-15, 15-2, 7-15, 16-14, 15-7. The games were full of good setting and excellent spiking. Lane's Randi Kay Reynolds stood out with her consistent spiking and blocking at the net. McKellar-Smith stressed that the team didn't play as well as they did last weekend at the Jamboree Tourney at the U of 0. In that tournament the Titans won two games; one against Treasure Valley Community College and • the other against Oregon State University. Other teams in the tournament were the U of O and Lewis and Clark College. Throughout the game with OCE the Titans seemed to thrive on their team spirit. And according to McKellar-Smith this year's team has the ability to come from behind and play as a unit, overlooking individual mistakes. . , , . . . ·. . . . . . . . . . . · -~ ~-.. . . . . 1 ~aturaay~····._ 1 .!.!.

John Laughlin, club adviser, says that weather permitting, the game should turn out to be quite a wild affair. "The time limit will be 30 seconds per move, which should make for an interesting match,'' Laughlin stated. The chessboard will be lined-out by the LCC Gardening Department in one-meter squares. Louie and Mitchell will be elevated above the playing surface on a platform to view their battlefield. Laughlin said that he would serve as referee.
