and other work to bring the building up to
code.
The four-hour meeting was highlighted
by emotional responses from Karen Lansdowne and Delta Sanderson, LCC language
arts instructors, who objected to departmental staffing profiles presented to the
board by President Eldon Schafer.
The profiles were drafted to provide an
accurate accounting of both contracted and
non-contracted faculty and the F.T.E. they
generate.
F.T.E. (Full Time Equivalency) is a base
unit that is equal to 12 credit hours taken
by one student or any combination of
students. Lane receives a varied amount of
state and federal funding depending on the
total amount of F. T. E. generated by the
•
school.
Schafer drafted the faculty profile using
the F. T. E. concept to illustrate contracted
vs. non-contracted teacher class-loads.
Lansdowne and Sanderson took issue
with Schafer's policy of using F.T.E. as a
format in compiling data.
"If you deal with numbers, you can come
up with this (the profile)," stated Sander-

On Oct. 18, the ECC Board of Education
sacrificed the relative comfort of the
campus Board Room to experience firsthand some of the draw-backs of the
Downtown Center.
Board members gave the go-ahead to the
Amundson Associates architectural firm to
draw up the final plans for the remodeling
of the center. However, they specified that
the total cost of the project was not to
exceed $LS million.
The decision was reached after Nile
Williams, associate dean of instruction in
charge of community education, led the
board up the existing freight elevator and
on a flash-light tour of the presently
unusable third floor.
The board then returned to the overheated basement meeting room and haggled
over the specific improvements that have
to be made.
Among the proposed changes , are:
Construction of a new elevator, a new
cooling and ventilating system, extensive
remodeling of the unfinished third floor,

son, "but if you deal with people it is
entirely different ... you're talking about
part-people."
The board decided to put off exploring
this issue until a formal presentation could
be drawn up.
In other business the board:
• Allocated $218,000 for instalation of a
Pacific Northwest Bell Dimensioned PBX
system and the acquisition of related
equipment and instruments. The money
will be taken from Plant Funds.
• Told Larry Romine, director of college/
community relations to draw up a plan
assessing community needs and how they
relate to college programs.
• Launched a 45-minute discussion on the
pros and cons of publishing an annual
report.
• Tabled a motion by board member Les
Hendrickson to change the college's policy
regarding staff travel budgets.

Attending classes 'Experience in freedom'
by Frank Babcock

Salling Peninsula is the homeland of
Dorthe Gensen and Hanne Nielsen
who are spending a six-month vacation
from Denmark attending LCC.
When Dorthe and Hanne completed
high school earlier this year they
wanted to do some traveling before
entering college in Denmark. Their
first thought was to go to England, but
they discovered they would have to
support themselves by working as
servants.

Jylland, the mainland of Denmark,
juts out of northern Europe towards
Norway to separate the North and
Baltic Seas.
Within Jylland, in winding, narrow
fjords, is the Salling Peninsula, a quiet
place of small farms, fields and rolling
hills. It's a country of spring and fall
rains, gentle winter snows and green
summers. Sky Mountain is the highest
peak with an elevation of 200 meters.

vacation -- but they are taking school seriously. Photo by Frank Babcock.

Then Dorthe's father suggested she
write to her aunt in Junction City,
Oregon, to explore the possibilities of
going to the United States.
An invitation was extended- Dorthe
and Hanne could live with Dorthe's
aunt on a farm near Junction City.
Once the plans .were made, it took
six months to get a visa. "The hardest
part," says Dorthe, "was getting
(health) insurance . In Denmark, insurance isn't something you have to
buy for yourself. It is paid for by the
taxes."
Eventually, however, the hurdles
were all cleared and Aug . 16 the two
17-year-olds arrived in Seattle.
During the day they attend classes
at LCC. Thev describe it as an
experience in freedom. "We are
taking (U.S.) history, badminton and
English study •skills. We are just
auditing the classes because we have
to take more time for the reading. (In
Denmark) it is mandatory to take six
years of English . But we still have to
study the hard words . We are studying
and doing the work as though we were
taking the classes for credit because
we want to know how well we can do.' '
But they admit, perhaps like U.S .
students, '' ... it is fun to know that we
don't have to go to class if we choose
not" to.''
'' (On the Junction City farm) we
work for our food and board and
sometimes do things like make wood
so you can put it in the stove."

Public challen·g e
This is a public challenge to the named
"public officials" to rebut this charge that
they are "obstructing justice" to frustrate
non-lawyer participation before American
tribunals_ because it threatens lawyers'
national social-economic control.
A case in point is In the Matter of Reed,
Workers' Compensation Board Case No.
78-2930, which was denied a statutory
(ORS 656.283) "hearing" by Harold M.
Daron's "Order of Dismissal," which in
turn was contested in a Lane County
Circuit Court Mandamus case No. 78-4217,
John M. Reed, Petitioner, vs. Harold M.
Daron, Defendant, that unsuccessfully
requested Judge James R. Hargreaves
order Workers' Compensation Board Presiding Adminstrative Law Judge Harold
M. Daron to "refer the (Reed's) request for
(Board) hearing to a referee for determination as expeditiously as possible,"· as
set-out in ORS 656.283[3].
Judge Hargreaves not only covered-up
for Judge Daron but tried to compound the
problem by (1) delaying his Mandamus
denial until the day before Board appeal

Thanks for the excellent write-up in the

Oct. 19 - le, 1978

Technology is making considerable
progress in the field of radio communication, but, unfortunately, it seems as though
some individuals can't accept a more
consistent method of broadcasting.
Recently, Duke Young, the former owner
of KFMY-98, sold the family station to a
local concern, KUGN radio.
Within a short period of time KUGN
decided to implement automated broadcasting instead of live programming and
change the old music format. The decision
has brought together a few devoted KFMY
listeners in retaliation to the format
change.
They are passing around petitions in an
effort to let the new owner, Brian Obie,
know that they are not satisfied with
KUGN replacing disc jockeys with technologists.
The task of a technologist is to feed
extensive information into a computer,
which in turn blends together pre-recorded
tapes of music, public service announcements and advertising into a systematic
format-according to the technologist's
request.
Andy Goering, coordinator of the petition drive, says there are basic reasons why
KUGN should return to an album-oriented
rock FM format with disc jockeys:
• '' Automated broadcasting depersonalizes and monopolizes each program format," and "removes diversity and quality
possible by disc jockeys (DJ's) whose
professional skills are reflected by the
music they choose to play."
• Only through careful planning and
strategy can automated systems present
'' diverse kinds of rock music created over
the past twenty-five years."
Goering feels that "radio technologists"
and "presiding economic interests" of the
radio stations will transform listeners into
'' automated individuals'' and eliminate
direct "two-way communication" with
listeners.
But from my point of view, when KUGN
radio station purchased KFMY from Duke
Young, it felt strongly enough about the
format change to install and invest in a
sophisticated automatic system to satisfy
the listeners' various tastes in music.
Through surveys and listeners' feedback,
KUGN determined the automated format
could reach a mass audience which prefers
the type of format called "mellow music"
-produced by artists like Linda Ronstadt,
Kenny Loggins_and Joni Mitchell.
When discussing programming theories
with two local programmers from KUGN-98
and KSND-93.1, two program directors
cited several reasons why automated radio
is successful:

• Automated prQgrarnrning is an efficient
way to run a radio station, and provide a
consistent program format of varied music
for a large audience.
• With a sophisticated automation system,
a programmer has more free time to
develop his/her creative talents.
• Radio stations can't run without profits
and still compete in the market, and the
automated system does reduce some of the
expenses.
For the last 20 years KFMY has basically
maintained the same "Morn and Pop"
operation. Within that period the population in Eugene has grown considerably,
and placed demands on stations to offer a
larger variety of music.
I admire the gumption of the individuals
who created the petition.
But I wonder if others who sign the
document are showing a strong concern for
radio, or just signing their name because
someone presents them with a petition and
says, "Isn't it terrible!".
Signing one's name to a petition is more
than a passive desire to identify with a
particular group. It is or should be an
acknowledgement of the total understanding of the focus of the petition drive.
The program director of KUGN-98, Mike
Ferguson, says he is concerned about
listeners' dissatisfaction and tries to comply with all requests and is open to
suggestions about the format.
Listeners obviously aren't too annoyed
with an automated station; KSND-93.1 has
been under the automated system since
late in 1976 and is presently number one in
the Arbitron Ratings with listeners between the ages of 18 and 34.
To say that automated radio is going to
infringe upon listeners' daily lives and
make them "automated" is rather hard to
digest.
Radio listeners still have the option to
select from 11 other local stations, of which
eight offer the old "two way communication" (disc iockev-listener).
For the listener who enjoys album
oriented rock ... no problem, KZEL, KLCC
and KWAX are still album-oriented stations offering a variety of entertainment
and two-way communication.
If the old KFMY-98 listeners would
devote their listening energies to KZEL,
which has a very similar format to KFMY, I
am sure KZEL would enjoy the support.
At present, KUGN-98's automated system has been in operation for only 18 days
which is not adequate time to determine if
it is "impersonal, uncaring and uninterested with listeners' views."
It is unfortunate that radio stations in
Lane County are experiencing the competitive pinch, but I'm sure the local AM-FM
stations will offer this area the largest
variety of radio entertainment anywhere in
the state.

trend in hiring part tim_e teachers

In an Oct. 12 interview with the TORCH
Larry Perry, chairman of the LCC Board of
Education, stated that to the best of his
knowledge he knew of no policy curtailing
the hiring of full-time teachers.
Two weeks ago the TORCH asked Board
Member Charlene Curry about this same
issue: Her response, and a later clarification through a letter to the editor, drew
interest from several sectors of the college
and community.
The LCC Board, at last night ' s meeting,
briefly touched on the issue and plans to
study it further.
Perry also reflected on other topics of
concern to LCC students and faculty:

Q. I've personally noticed a problem of
over-crowding in some classrooms. What
do you think about this problem?
PERRY: One of the things that community

Q- What's your phllosophy on education at
the community college level?

PERRY: Education should be available to
anyone, regardless of age. The community
college is probably the best avenue for that
at this time -- even though there's a tuition
rate. I would like to see the tuition rate
done away with, but that's pretty unrealistic at this time.
Q. There ls an attempt to balance the LCC
transfer programs and the vocational
programs. How do you feel about It?
PERRY: It is absolutely essential that we
offer transfer courses along with the
vocational ones. There are a couple of
reasons behind this: One is that courses
offered to any student should be broad; the
second is that we should have specjfic
courses for specific jobs.
It's also good to have a comprehensive
program as the state law suggests.

~C Board Chairman Larry Perry
colleges have been noted for is the
individual attention -- closer attention -that students __,:-eceive at a community
college.
If there is, in fact, an over-crowding
problem, like you say, then it seems to me
that we should be hiring more teachers to
drop the classroom numbers.
Q. How would you go about alleviating this
problem?
PERRY: One of the things we're doing this

year is starting a budget process in
mid-November. The idea was to try to find
a budget process, hopefully, thereby
setting priorities before we get a budget
presented to us.
That's how you solve those kinds of
problems -- you start with the whole sum of
money and set the priorities to it.

Q. I want to talk about the part-time/full.
time teacher situation. Why are part-time
teachers hired instead of full-time teachers?
PERRY: fart-time people are hired, in
part, because there is a course which is not
going to be a continuing course. It's a
short-term type situation. Or because you
have an expert in an area -- you hire a
lawyer to teach a legal course. They have a
great deal of expertise in the area and they
want to teach, so you use them on that
basis with intent being that they won't be
there as full-time employee -- they have
other occupations.
Q. The part-time teachers are complaining
that they aren't getting hired on a
permanent basis. Why aren't they?

PERRY: One reason for the slow-down in
hiring is because there is a slow-down in
the growth of the college as far as students
go. I think there is only a two percent
increase over last year.
Growth has occured in areas where the
number of sections of a course are not
known before hand. So, teachers are hired
on rather short notice and only guaranteed
a job for a short time.

there should be between part-time and
full-time instructors?

PERRY: I don't know a percentage or
ratio. It does' seem logical that you hire
enough permanent staff to adequately take
care of the student loan without increasing
the number of students per class.
You want to keep enough full-time staff to
meet the needs of courses that are
constantly recurring.
The number of part-time people can
depend on various things -- grants that
occur for one-year courses is an example.

Q. Have you heard of a policy or trend
toward hiring part-time teachers?

PERRY: I have heard other people make
reference to hiring part-time people. As
far as it being a policy -- NO.
Q. Have there been any recommendations
to the college p~sfdent, Eldon Schafer?

PERRY: There have been no recommendations to the president that I'm aware of,
saying 'Hire part-time people to replace
full-time people.'
Q. Do you have any qualms about hiring
full-time teachers?

PERRY: I have no qualms about hiring
full-time teachers.

Board gives Willamette Writers Guild $500 boost
At its Sept. 27 meeting, the LCC Board
of Education authorized President Eldon
Schafer to invest $500 of the college's
money in this year's Willamette Writers
Guild project. The guild has a deficit of
over $6,000.
The Willamette Writers Guild is a
consortium of six colleges which bring
prominent literary figures to Oregon
campuses.
Lisi Fenner, resource development specialist at LCC, denies the guild is actually
in debt. While acknowledging that a deficit
does exist, Fenner says that the Writers
Guild is a three-year developmental project
and that she expects the books to balance
at the end of June, 1979.
The guild is presently burdened with a
deficit brought forward from the last two
years of operation.
According to college records , the guild
finished its first year of operation with a

deficit of $5,332.99.
Joyce Salisbury, LCC language arts
instructor and one of the guild's organizers, says that -the debt was incurred
because of promised grant money that
failed to materialise and because some of
the participating schools balked at sharing
the expense of the project.
The guild lost another $1,341.83 during
the 1977-78 school year.
Joyce Hopps, associate dean of instruction, has questioned whether LCC, which
has be_en respon~ible for coordinating most
of the activities as well as managing the
records and accounts of the guild, can
afford another year of this sponsorship,
considering the present deficit total of
$6,674.
Hopps suggested the guild needs to cut
its expenses as well as secure a firmer
commitment of financial support from the
other schools involved.

Fenner said the three-year project is "a
campaign to see if we can get our foot in
the door'' with the National Endowment
for the Arts. According to Fenner, that
group came under fire in 1975 by
individuals (including Senator William
Proxmire) who were concerned because
only two per cent of NEA grant money
spent in Oregon went to the humanities.
The NEA was accused of having an elitist
attitude and inadequate funding of activi-

ties and inadequate funding of activities on
the community college level, says Fenner.
This year's project, "Theater and the
Media in the Community,'' will include
presentations · by three well-known writers---a playwrite, a movie script~riter and
a television scriptwriter.
This year the Willamette Writers Guild
has received a $2,200 grant from NEA, and
other money has been contributed by the
Oregon Repetory Theater and Maude

Partnerships require your individual attention

Demetri Liontos talks about individuals a

called "Partner Relationships."
But. according to Demetri, the idea of an
individual within a couple is one important
concept of the course, which is being
offered through LCC' s Home Economics
Department.
Along with his wife, Lynn Balster

help enrich existing relationships.
The college agreed. This term the

Friday from noon to 1 p.m. Winter term the
class will be held on Tuesday and Thursday
and will be open to all students as an
elective. Demetri adds that a second
section can be added next term if enough
students are interested.
"Our philosophy for a relationship to be
successful," explains Demetri, "is to look
at the individual. You have to get your own
house in order as the first step-clarify
your values, establish your individuality
and identity and self-esteem."
He continues, "Male students can really
benefit, because they have the least
opportunity to discuss growth and relationships."
While the class carries three credits,
Demetri is very casual about the work
required of students. "We have 'home
things' that we ask students to do," he
adds. "Maybe interviewing your parents
about what they expected from marriagethat can be very enlightening.''
Course material also includes journal
keeping and what Demetri describes as
"highly subjective readings."
Demetri and Lynn should be highly
qualified on the subject of partnerships: A
year and a half ago, they co-founded the
Marriage Education Center (MEC), a
non-profit educational organization aimed
at helping marriages grow through enrichment programs and preparing people for
marriage or other committed relationships.

Heavy equipme nt c"/ass
coula soon be a reality
by Robert Anders

If all goes well with the Federal Government, the Mechanics Department at LCC
will be offering the only heavy equipment
program in the community college level in
the state by Spring Term.
Jim Piercey, associate dean of instruction, and Howard Dull, head of the
mechanics department, are presently working with the U.S. Forest Service to
complete negotiations with the Department
of Labor to fund a heavy equipment
training program at LCC.
Without Federal funding, the program
must have a minimum of 18 students to
meet budget demands.
Dull initiated the program in an effort to
utilize the heavy equipment repaired by
diesel mechanic students.
"Due to the demand for equipment
operators in this area, and the fact we do
have the equipment, I want to try to put
together a basic operators program,'' Dull
said.
This summer the class almost started,
but due to high tuition costs of $780 per
term, students could not afford the class.
Direct costs to properly run· the heavy
equipment program • entails hiring an
instructor, two aides, and a mechanic just
to offer the classroom portion of the
program. Operational costs to run the
program include transportation of equipment, depreciation, insurance costs, main-

tenance repairs and fuel expense which
bring the operational budget to approximately $15,450.
"I would expect direct operational costs
to be absorbed by the contract with the
Federal Government (Department of Labor)," Dull explains.
Weyerhaeuser, Georgia Pacific and the
U.S. ForesCService are a few of the
employers expressing interest in LCC' s
heavy equipment training program.
According to Dull, many Lane County
employers are looking for female employees due to the ever-increasing need for
equal opportunity employment for women
in the mechanics field.
To offer a program of this type a number
of projects with a tangible end result are
needed so the students can gain practical
experience.
.
projects they would like to do which could
become part of a project for the operators
program," Dull explains. He feels their is
enough work on the campus grounds alone
to keep the operators busy for approximately two years.
The parking lots at the west end of the
campus are likely to be the first projects
initiated by the students.
The operators program will have six
large pieces of equipment, a portable lube
machine and numerous parts to begin the
program.
One piece of equipment, presently under
repair in the Diesel Mechanics Depart-

Opportunities for women

Seeking new horizons
EDITOR'S NOTE:
At LCC, 51 percent of the student body is
composed of women, and many are coming
here to explore their potential, prepare for
careers, and enhance their awareness of self
and society .
The Women's Awareness Center, located on
the second floor of the Center Building, Room
217,
the coordinating hub of women's
programs at LCC, is a source of information
about a wide variety of women's concerns, and
provides a supportive atmosphere for those in
need of a friend.
The following is the first of a continuing
series of features concerning women's programs at LCC, or information of interest to
LCC's majority.

by Staff of Women's Awareness Center
On Oct. 13-15, four women from the
Women's Awareness Center attended
the Fall 1978 conference on the
Northwest Women's Studies Association, held at the University of Washington campus in Seattle.
The conference was entitled
"Women's Studies Curriculum in

Varied Settings" and focused on the
challenge of presenting women's studies programs in elementary and
secondary schools, community organizations and outreach community colleges and universities. Panels and
workshops were offered covering
specific issues such as '' F uncling A
Women's Program in Community
Colleges," "How Can Women's Studies Respond to Community Needs,''
"Natural Science: By, For and About
Women," and "Strengthening the
Women's Studies Commitment to
Women of Color.''
On Wednesday, Oct. 25, there will
be a presentation of information and a
sharing of ideas in Room 220 of the
Center building from noon to 1 p.m.
Jan Bradstrom, a member of the
Oregon Governor's Commission for
Women, will be available to discuss
the Commission's activities with interested people.

in from Alaska. The tractor originally cost
the military $33,000, but LCC acquired it
for only $2,600.
Negotiations with the Department of

Labor are still continuing, so the future of
the heavy equipment program is still
unsure. "We don't know how far we're
going to get with the Federal Government," Dull told The TORCH recently. "If
they give us support, fine. If not, we don't
know what we're going to do."

applied for a two-month extension of

'' It is difficult to get the extension,''
they say, "but it would be good to be
able to stay a little longer.''
If the extension is denied, they will

But already they have formulated
some impressions of America: big
trees, high mountains, good people.

Traditional musie
set for WOW Dall
Traditional folk and gospel music is
on tap at the Community Center for
the Performing Arts Saturday night,
Oct. 21. as Guy Cara wan, Bessie Jones
and Elizabeth Cotten appear for two
shows beginning at 7 and 10 p.m.
Tickets for the folk artists are
available at the WOW Hall, 291 W.
8th, Eugene, and at the EMU Main
Desk at the U of O. Tickets are $4 in
advance, $4.50 the day of the show.
Cara wan, nationally acclaimed folk
artist, is best known for introducing
the anthem "We Shall Overcome" to
the civil rights movement. His dedication to the cause of social activism has
remained strong, taking him from the
marches and sit-ins of the mid-Sixties
through nearly two decades of field
work with Southern blacks, to his
current position as music director at
the Highland Center for Social Change
and Education in New Market, Tennessee .
Carawan carries the torch of the
American folk heritage and has his
roots in the Southern tradition and the
music of Woodie Guthrie, Leadbelly
and Pete Seeger. He has spoken and
performed at colleges, clubs, concerts
and festivals throughout the United
States and Europe. He has recorded
eight albums since 1957; his latest,
"Green Rocky Road," is available on
June Appal Records.
Jones' music echoes the beginning
of the black experience in this country
-the work chants and "shouts," the
old time gospel, the folk tales, the toetapping rhythm.
Jones was born in 1902 in Dawson,
Ga., a small black farming community,

and worked on her parents' farm for
many years. Her grandparents were
sold into slavery on various plantations
in Virginia . In 1923 she joined the
Georgia Sea Islands Singers, a vocal
group dedicated to singing folk songs
in the old ways. She was the first
mainlander to join the group.
The Singers were "discovered" and
recorded by America's permier folk
collector, Alan Lomax, in the mid1950' s, leading to the group's national
recognition and requests to perform
throughout the country. Jones has
taught at schools and universities in
this country.
Elizabeth Cotten, one of the world's
most technically accomplished folk
guitarists, was born in 1893 in North
Carolina. Cotten taught herself how to
play guitar at the age of 12, playing it
"wrong side up" a la Jimi Hendrix. In
1952 she recorded the classic folk tune
"Freight Train," which brought her
national attention. The song was
written when she was twelve. In 1972
Cotten received the Burl Ives Award
from the National Folk Festival Association for her vital role in folk music.
Cotten performs with a warmth and
technical virtuosity that is unmatched
by contemporary musicians, regardless of age. Her value as a musician is
equaled by her importance as an
informant about life in the rural South
at the turn of the century. Writing
about a Cotten concert in 1975, John
Wendeborn of the Oregonian reported
that "Mrs. Cotten's music is a true
folk music. It's not depressing, not
negative, not sad. There is a puerile
joyfulness in her voice and actions on

RECORDS IN REVIEW

ls DEl'O devoid?

by Paul Land
"New wave" music has never really caught on in the United States, basically
because of a general pigeonholing of the music as "punk" and thus not worthy of
attention.
This is not to say that there are no new wave bands worthy of mention; on the
contrary, many bands, such as Talking Heads and Elvis Costello, are making
headway on the charts and the stations. But programmers and record company
A&R men, narrow-minded Sensors of the Public Will that they are, don't give the
music much of a chance because (a) it's basically a throwback to the Sixties and (b)
it isn't disco.
But you can dance to it. You may not be able to shake, shake, shake your bootie
or bump your partner to it, but in terms of the beat it's good for a general boogie.
One must remember that this is Rock and Roll, in the grand tradition of early Stones
or the Who, and not something processed through a computer as most new music
seems to be.
O1'\e of the new groups sounds like it IS a computer, though. DEVO made its
Amer_lcan performing debut on Saturday Night Live last week, and all over America
people were wrinkling their noses and saying, "That's WEIRD." The members of
DEVO move, play and sing like C-3PO (of Star Wars fame) on methedrine.
Their first album, Q: ARE WE NOT MEN? A: WE ARE DEVO!, has hints of the
Doors or early Mothers of Invention sprinkled liberally throughout, which makes for
a rather bizarre combination.
DEVO is a group of (probably) tremendously talented musicians, but they are
very careful not to stretch out too much. This may serve their purpose-they don't
want to so1 .nd too good and break the new wave tradition of blatant amateurism but as far as being commercially successful goes, it doesn't give them much of a
chance.
The lyrics
well, you decide for yourself. From the ·cut "Too Much
Paranoias":
Think I've got a Big Mac Attack
Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce
Special orders don't upset us
All we ask is that you let us serve it your way
. . delivered in a herky-jerky one-chord atonal fiasco that is guaranteed to clear
anY, room in twenty seconds.
This is not meant to be a total slam. Some parts of Q: ARE WE NOT MEN? are
actually quite interesting (including the first known reggae version of "I Can't Get
No Satisfaction"), and the sound as produced by Brian Eno is biting and varied.
But my main point is that unless DEVO and other New Wavers clean up their act
a bit and stop producing sounds guaranteed to offend 95% of the American record
buying public, they'll never get another chance to record. I sincerely hope they do .
I'm getting tired of hearing "Boogie Oogie Oogie" 35 times a day. Bands with a
totally different outlook may be the only way to fight the disco machine.

Capsule Reviews
The Who; "Who Are You?" [Po/ydor]
Perhaps it's a good thing that Keith Moon checked out when he did. This way the
Who can just dissolve into nothingness and stop putting out these relentlessly
boring albums. The title cut and John Entwhistle's "905" are the only worthy
tracks here, and even through them the group manages to sound both condescending and pitiful at the same time. If this one turned you on, I suggest you locate a
copy 'of 1967's "The Who Sell Out" and hear just how good they used to sound.
Van Morrison; "Wavelength" [Warner Bros.]
Morrison at this time is in the same shape as the Who. Van, you can't just repeat
"Liley, liley, lie" twenty times over a standard funk/soul machine recording with a
female chorus and expect to turn anybody on the way you did in 1972 with ''Tupelo
Honey." Watch out, Van; you may become the next Harry Chapin.

5-2 lea{!lle record

Spiking iinproves
V -ball te·a in wins
by Ed Peters

The LCC women's volleyball team
defeated the U of O junior varsity three
games to one, in a best-of-five match
played on Oct. 16. The wins give Lane an
8-2 win-loss record overall , and a 5-2
league record.
"Our improved serving, as high as 97
per cent (successful) in some games, has
been a major factor in recent victories. The
emphasis on teamwork and communication
has helped the women come together and
play as a unit," said coach Georgeanne
McKellar-Smith.
The Monday scores were: 15-8, '15-11,
13-15, 15-13.
In other matches played on Oct. 13, Lane
bested South Western Oregon Community
College, 15-11, 15-3, and also beat Chemekata Community College 15-9, 14-16, and
15-0. In those games Jeanna Garcia and
Randi Kay Reynolds turned in strong
performances at the net, blocking and
spiking well.
In games played at South Eugene High
School on Oct. 14, Lane swept past Blue
Mountain C.C. and Umpqua C.C. The
Titans took Umpqua 15-6, 8-15, 15-13, and
handled Blue Mountain 16-14 and 15-7.
Once again Garcia and Reynolds had
strong net games and were set-up well by
Bobbie Curtis in the back row.
"Our setting and overall game is
improving each time out and Bobbie Curtis
is playing very well for us in the back row,''
said McKellar-Smith.

Women's· CC team making progress
by Beverly Daugherty

The Women's Cross Country team, in its
second outing of the season, finished third
to Central Oregon (COCC) and Clakamas
(CCC) squads last Oct. 14 at Bend.
Mary Guyler of COCC turned in the
day's best time of 15:08 in covering the 2.6
mile course.
She was followed by
teammate Mary Douglas, whose time was
15:18.
Lane's Cheryl Glasser lead her teammates with a time of 18:26. Other LCC
times were:
Pat Hess. 19:33; 'Janet
Wolfgram, 18:52; Julia Harvey, 19:11; and
Gail Swanson, 22:03.
•
According to LCC Coaeh Mike Manley,
these scores are not ·. outstanding in
comparison to other teams, but they do
represent individual progress for all the
girls involved.
Manley -- known to .many track enthusiasts for winning first place in the
steeplechase during the 1972 Olympic
Trials held in Eugene .: said the emphasis
now will be on individual improvement,
which will inevitably lead to team improvement.
Manley is optimistic about the future of
women's cross country running. And his
squad, in turn, is highly' complimentary of
his coaching--with one team member
saying, "He's always encouraging," and
another, "He's an excellent coach."
Manley's runners are mostly new to
cross country competition -- but the coach
acknowledges that this is the nature of a
new sport for women, adding " I know
there are women out there who would like
to run if I can only reach them. "

• Hess began her running career late
last fall, never having run before. She says
she loves running and will continue
training for marathon running even after
she is trough with school.
• Harvey also came in late in last year's
fall season, and also hopes to continue
training for marathon running.
• Swanson joined the team just a few
weeks ago, new to running. She can
already see progress, as judged by her
times in training and at Saturday's meet.
• Glasser started running in high school,
after receiving encouragement from her
friend and now teammate, Janet Wolfgram. This is her first year at Lane and she

plans to continue running next year. Then
she hopes to attend Oregon State.
• Wolfgram ran for four years in high
school, skipped a year in college, and came
out late in the season this year. When she
finishes school next spring, she plans to
retire from competition.
Kathy Underwood and Nadeine Lindsay
were unavailable for comment. This is
Underwood's first year with the team and
Lindsay's second.
The next scheduled meet will be the
co-ed Willamette Invitational at Salem on
Oct. 21, starting at 11 a.m.

Conference, regionals, nationals ...

•
Distan ce runne rs aim for top spot • • • again

by Ed Peters
The LCC cross country team has some
pretty big shoes to fill.
Last year's team won the conference and
region championships and represented
Region 18 in the national finals, held in
Tucson, Ariz.
"Our goals for this year's team are to
retain the title as conference and region
champions, and our ultimate goal is to
represent the region in the national
championship held in Champaigne, Ill.,"
said Coach Al Tarpenning.

To obtain the same results as last year's
team will take hours and hard work by
exceptionally dedicated athletes.
A typical week for the Titan cross
country team would look like this: Sunday
the team has a long run--from 12 to 15
miles; Monday it runs between seven and
eight miles; Tuesday is its long-intervals
day, using one mile, three-quarters of a
mile, or 800 meters; Wednesday usually
involves light hill work, or seven to nine
miles on Pre's Trail; Thursday is spent on

short intervals of about 300 or 400 meters;
Friday the team has a light workout of
about five or six miles because of its
Saturday meet; and the team has had a
meet every Saturday since Sept. 16.
Most meets are either four or five-mile
events. Besides the aftenoon workout, the
Titans run four to six miles Monday
through Friday on an individual basis.
Every year Lane seems to come up with
exceptional runners to give the Titans a
very strong cross country squad. This year,
for example, Dave Magness is turning in
an unusual year and is considered by
Tarpenning as the number one runner---

Magness finished first at the team's last
meet in Gresham, and took 15th overall at
the Garrie Franklin Memprial.
"I think Dave has a very good chance of
being one of the best runners in our
conference and region and perhaps even
the nation," said Coach Tarpenning.
B·u t the reason Lane gets good atheletes
is not the draw of scholarships. LCC
doesn't give atheletic scholarships like
some of the other community colleges.
Lane seems to draw atheletes because of
its excellent reputation as a running
powerhouse.

but took a wrong tum and ran 40 yards out
of his way before recovering to win , the
race.
Tom Selvin Park course in Bend had very
rough terrain---three atheletes were hurt
during the race.

LCC Coach Al Tarpenning said, "We
had good times, and considering we left
five runners home because of health and
personal reasons, I am glad to have been
able to tie Clackamas.
The rest of the Titan team times were :
Brian Muessle, 24:31; Ken Cochran, 25:05;
Steve Warrey, 25:18; Bernie Rice, 26:10;

"Our team is still learning, and they

Basic Design:
A new approach

by Eleanor Herbert
Fifteen well-packaged eggs survived a
one-story drop Thursday in a trial test for a
basic design class project---eight failed the
test.
Art and Mass Communications Instructor, David Joyce, and his group of students
were witnessing the results of an unusual
class assignment: to design a container to
keep an egg from cracking in a 20 foot drop
from the balcony of the Math Building to
the concrete surface below.
Joyce believes young students coming
into college "often straight-jacket themselves,'' wanting instructors to tell them
what they have to do to get an "A" as
Joyce gives his students a problem to
solve. His students create the solution. His
goal through this approach to design is to
" stretch people's minds" to get them "to
think at a more mature level."
Basic design, as taught by Joyce,
doesn't match perfectly with Basic Design
I, as described in the LCC course catalog.
His is more fundamental than teaching
students the basic principles for two
dimensional design for use in painting,
drawing, and graphics is opening up
student's minds. He describes his design
assignments as something that will be fun,
but, at the same time, he regards his
design approach as serious and important.
His next assignment will be for students to.
devise a pictographic language using
symbols for exchanging messages with
other students to decode them.
Although the class is recommended for
art and mass communication students,
Joyce says his is a class for all students as a
way to unlock themselves and communicate something important.
