official TORCH wrapping paper. It
includes things to do, from exploring snow-covered mountains to
making your very own record.

Nine new vocational programs are being considered
for LCC.

almost healed from the last time and I
felt secure sitting in. the rocking chair,

Sandy Wicks is a student at LCC.
Young, bright and attractive, she 's
just beginning to explore a free and
exciting world to which her past has
denied her access. She' s intellectually
tuned into a college transfer program
and she's approaching life at large
with a level-eyed intensity that at once
alludes to a determination for future
growth and a healthy resistance to that
violent past.
Until recently, Sandy was a victim of
one of society's most prevalent ills:
Domestic violence- she was a ''battered woman .''
She's divorced now from the man
who used to fire his fists into her rib
cage- a man who would not allow her
to cultivate new friends, or associate
with old ones-a man who nearly
succeeded in convincing her that she
was '' a worthless bitch - an incompetent ugly nobody .''
In a year, she has discovered that
she's not incompetent-that she does
have a great deal to offer-that she
can live a free and productive life.
But, as elusive as that discovery has
been , so was her ability to grasp the
strength to escape from a predicament
that evolved slowly in a relationship

The ASLCC Studen't Senate Wednesday
approved formal senate backing of Student
Senator Donavan Vliet's petition concerning the-danger of the McVay Highway and
30th Ave. intersection near LCC.
As Vliet explained it during the senate's
weekly meeting, "Between 7 and 9 a.m .
there is no right turn (legally allowed) onto
30th Ave. at the stop sign from McVay
(coming towards the campus from the
freeway or Springfield). So many students
take an alternative route onto 30th and
make a u-turn across the double solid lines
on 30th (to come into the campus by the
_
east extrance)."
He added, "This alternative presents
more of a hazard than making a right-hand
turn at the stop sign because you are
crossing two lanes of traffic going west and
two lanes going east. The Oregon Drivers'
Manual is very vague in describing how a
u-turn should be made on a four-lane
highway.
Vliet told the other ASLCC officers that
he had met previously with Al Driver, Lane
County road foreman, to give the county a
petition containing over 300 student signatures concerning the problem. At that
time Vliet learned that the county has
submitted a proposal to the Oregon State
Highway Department asking that the
problems and possible dangers of the
intersection be studied.
If the highway department approves the
request, the county will seek additional
approval and backing from the Lan County
Commissioners, the LCC Board of Education and LCC President Eldon Schafer.
In other action, the ASLCC voted to
spend about $150 on the purchase of
National Student Educational Fund (NSEF)
literature to be used by the ASLCC to
publish information for students.
ASLCC President James Cox announced
there will be no student senate meetings
during finals week.

One of the ASLCC' s objectives is the Course and Faculty Descriptio11 Booklet
to be published for Spring term and all terms thereafter.
This booklet has been needed for some time. Each registration period brings
on a whole set of negative feelings. Students run the gauntlet from confusion to
downright anxiety about which courses to choose. After that comes the
inevitable barrage of adds and drops .
Some students seem to register for every possible course available and go
through an elimination process during the first week. There are those who
make choices that become increasingly more difficult to live with until they are
forced to withdraw from or even fail a course .
Of course, new students can survey former students of a particular class to

To the Editor:
The TORCH's huge pictorial advertisement for contraceptives has had me upset
and irritated for two weeks -- not the
product itself, but the graphics used to
illustrate it.
Like a lot of other media (and I thought
the TORCH was better), it is expQsing
women's private bodies and sexual parts to
public view for profit -Â· a form of
prostitution.
.
It is an indelicate, insensitive and
exploitative method of catching people's â€¢
attention by constantly waving the red

women.

taken the course before, find out the inside "info" on the teacher. But
sometimes there is no information to be found, even from the course name and
description. Our publication will be the beginning product of this objective to
help alleviate these problems.
The publication includes some information not usually available to students.
There will be biographical data about each instructor such as academic and
on-the-job experiences and personal statements about education. There will be
clear descriptions of what can be learned, what practical application that
knowledge will have and of what vocational and transfer programs the course is
of value to. Text materials and costs will be listed. Teaching methods will be
explained. Grading policies will be spelled out.
The ASLCC believes this will help students have a more active role in their
education. We hope to see that the course goals and objectives are clearly
stated, with specific listing of what can be learned, and what a student will
know upon completion of the course. We want to encourage small sequential

learning units with plenty of feedback and evaluation. We also want to see
more provision for different rates of learning. These things will facilitate the
students' sense of personal control, achievement, academic skills and
self-esteem.
We feel that the Course and Faculty Decription Booklet is a beginning. Some
of the questions we will be asking faculty members are:
â€¢ What is your major form of instruction? Lectures, discussions, lab,
independent study? Or a combination?
â€¢ Is your class structured or unstructured?
â€¢ How much work is to be done outside of class?
â€¢ What percentage of the Â· grade is based on quizzes, class participation~
mid-terms, papers, projects, lab work (whichever is applicable)?
â€¢ What ar~ the practical applications of your course?
â€¢ What are the specific objectives of your course?
â€¢â€¢ How do you try to achieve those objectives?
We have contacted various departments and have begun collecting and
surveying the need information for this publication. Since we are still in the
â€¢ beginning stages, student input is greatly needed. All suggestions should be
directed to Sally Stearns, ASLCC Course and Faculty Decription Coordinator,
2nd floor Center Building, extension 220.

Trees more than decoratio ns for Oregon farmers
by Jack Ward
of The TORCH

Six to eight foot Christmas trees,
another of Oregon's timber exports,
sell for $24 in other parts of the
country. Tree farms around Eugene
this year will ship 22,000 Christmas
trees south by rail and truck for the
coming holidays.

Landau. He hopes to make a thousand
dollars this season .
"These six to eight foot trees are
bringing $22 to $24 a piece in other
parts of the country,' ' says George
Landry , a free-lance truck driver from
Florida. He is here to take a truckload

The Christmas tree business employs a number of people each season
to get the trees cut , packaged and
shipped for the holidays. Cutters and
packers are used to bring the trees out
of the fie lds, and loaders and drivers to
move them to a central location, where
they tie up the trees for easy shipping.
The trees are then loaded on trucks or
trains and sent to retail Christmas tree
lots throughout the country.

The pay rate for loading trees this
season is $2.65 an hour-$3 .25 if you

Trees are also brought into towns by
free-lance businessmen like Phil Cunha, an LCC student . He says he ' 'made
about $600'' last year selling Christmas trees from his front lawn. Cunha
said he had to cut and haul the trees to
Eugene from the outlying forest area,
and among the usual hassle of permits
and objecting neighbors, he also
ended up with a $15 traffic ticket for
having no side mirrors on the truck he
used.

is selling 2,000 permits th is year at a
price of two dollars each . For your two
dollars the FS provides a set of
instructions and a map showing where
you can go to get a tree . The FS office
will be open on the weekends in
December from 9 a .m. to 3 p.m. The
FS does ask that the tree you take be

The Christmas tree harvest in the
Eugene area began Nov. 3, according
to Dave Landau, manager for Emerald
Tree Company of Eugene. He expects
to ship 22,000 trees before they shut
down around Dec. 7. Landau has
worked 19 days straight since they
began in November.
"We've been working nine or 10
hours a day, seven days a week, and
we had to work Thanksgiving. Thanksg1vmg don't mean nothing when
you're loading Christmas trees," he

Nine hundred trees were packed

Vocational Education Programs (VEPs) to
determine if there is a need and interest for
such programs within the community.
"We never go into VEPs without input
from an advisory committee and the
community," says Rasmussen.
Advisory committees are made up of
citizens knowledge about particular programs. The members then work with LCC
staff members in gathering basic information on the proposed programs, such as:
â€¢ Is the program economically reasonable?
â€¢ Are adequate facilities available?
â€¢ Will the job market sustain the particular
skill being offered?
â€¢ Is the program viable?
When these and other questions get
favorable answers, the initial ground work
for adopting a program has started.
Such VEPs as Hotel/Motel Management, Radiologic Technology, Piano Tuning and Repair, and Solar Energy Technology may take as long as two years before
the actual program is added to the 50 VEPs
now offered at LCC.
"Before any VEPs are adopted, thereÂ·
could be up to four distinct committees
involved to determine whether a program
will be approved," says Rasmussen.

But Larry Murry, director of vocational
educational programs, feels the lengthy
process is a necessary safeguard to protect
the interests of the taxpayer. He adds that
if also offers LCC students and the
community the best possible training
available at a community college level.
VEPs receive approximately $161,000
annually to finance the programs being
offered at LCC. As more VEPs are added to
the curriculum, additional costs to finance
the new programs must be met.
"It's not easy to get a vocational
program started because of many external
forces, such as financial resources, job
market possibilities and State Educational
Coordinating Commission (ECC) approval," explains Murry.
A large portion of the program proposals
are initiated by department heads and
instructors interested in expanding the
spectrum of a particular course or program
being taught at LCC.
'' When a certain number of students
request a particular skill, that is normally
the easiest way to demonstrate a need to
propose a program. As a general rule of
thumb, 18 or 20 students are needed to
start a VEP,'' explains Rasmussen.
According to Murry, one very important
aspect of a VEP is employment opportunities. "I feel some of the first things we
have to do is to make sure there are jobs
available and to insure that the training we
are providing is going to lead a student to
some type of job stability," says Murry.

The Lane County Humane Society
does not recommend that shoppers
buy pets as Christmas gifts. They
advise using a new approach- a kind
of lay-away plan for pets.
Marie Mascotte of the Humane
Society explains that giving an animal
as a present can be very traumatic for
the pet. "Christmas is a busy and
impulsive time and many pets bought
the week before Christmas are often
brought back a few weeks later.''
Th is year the Humane Society is
suggesting that people who wish to
give pets as gifts fill out an adoption
agreement and then wait until after
Christmas and take their time in
selecting the right pet. Prices at the
Humane Society are $25 for cats and
$40 for dogs, which includes spaying
or neutering and some shots.
But if your heart is still set on a pet
for someone on your list, there are still
many to choose from. A visit to the Pet
Porium at Valley River Center reveals
prices for dogs ranging from $15. 99 for
a mix to $150 for a poodle. Kittens cost
$11.95, parakeets cost $14.99 but a
cockatoo can cost $600. Fish cost from
33 cents for minnows to $8. 98 for a
gold sailfin molly. For the more
adventurous giftgivers, the Pet Porium
also has lizards, iguanas, snakes,
frogs, turtles, various rodents and
even tarantulas.
At Fish Fever and Birds, Too,
located in downtown Eugene, there is
a larger supply of exotic birds and fish.
Doves, quail, nightingales, parrots,
cockatiels, amazons, finches, and lovebirds are among the choices found
here, plus many different species of
fish. Prices for fish are higher than at
the Pet Porium since the species are
more unusual and there are a lot of
larger fish. Birds start at around $10
for finches.

WiUamette Valley yields lots of holly and mistletoe
by Bob White
for The TORCH
Holly and mistletoe are an important
part of the Christmas tradition; and
since they grow in the Willamette
Valley, many people will be harvesting
their own.
Freeman Rowe, LCC science instructor, offers some facts about these two
plants and some words of caution for
people who intend to do their own
harvesting.
Holly

Rowe says that there are some 200
varieties of holly, but American and
English are the varieties commonly
grown in the Willamette Valley and
the English version is favored for
decorative purposes.
"Holly is a very interesting plant,"
says Rowe, because it is dioecious-a
holly bush is either male or female,
whereas most plants have the capacity

to be <>ither." It is for this reason, he
says, that some holly bushes (female)
have berries, while others (male) do
not. ''Commonly growers will graft a
male branch onto a female bush so that
it will produce berries.,,,,..
Rowe says that most commercial
growers dip the branches into a
hormone solution to prevent the
berries from dropping off. ''The plant
normally sends a 'message' to the
berry that says it is time to drop. The
hormone solution prevents this message from being sent.'' Rowe says that
this solution can be found at most
stores that sell plant supplies.
Mistletoe
Rowe says several varieties of
mistletoe grow wild in the Willamette
Valley; some grow in juniper, douglas
fir and lodgepole pine. However, he
says, the variety found in oak trees is
the most beautiful and most people are

only aware of this type.
Rowe says that mistletoe is not
completely parasitic as it is commonly
thought of. Because the leaves are
green this indicates that mistletoe
does get some of its nourishment
through photosynthesis.
Rowe says that according to most
mythologists, in some traditions a
mistletoe berry represented a kiss, and
with each kiss a berry was removed

from the plant . He says that the "one
kiss per berry'' custom has not
generally been carried over into modern into modern tradition. He warns
that mistletoe is not an aphrodesiac
and that all parts of the plant are very
poisonous when eaten by humans.
Although commercial harvesters
shoot mistletoe out of trees, Rowe
recommends either climbing the tree
or using a ladder.

Help for abuse d women- beyon d the scope of lnw?
News analysis by Frank Babcock
of The TORCH
They 're beaten in the face or head,
or maybe somewhere below the shoulders where the marks won't show.
They 're slammed against walls, tied
to their beds and raped , verbally
assaulted and thrown out of their own
houses .
They rarely fight back and seldom
escape .
They ' re called "battered women ."
Social experts estimate that 50
million women in America suffer
physical abuse at least once in their
lives .
â€¢But until recently, help for these
battered women was almost non-existent. Law enforcement has made the
expected attempts to intervene in
family disputes, but has been limited
by laws that vaguely address the
problem .
And police are placed in greater
danger dealing with domestic violence
than in any other element of their jobs.
National statistics show that 51 percent of police officers killed on duty are
respQnding to domestic quarrels.
To the court system, the pro_blem is
In Lane
even more frustrating.
County, the docket delay is often four
to six months from the time a victim
files a complaint until the case goes to
trial, providing the defendent a chance
to either convince or intimidate the
victim into dropping the charges.
From January through July, 1978,
246 cases of abuse were reported to
the Lane County District Attorney's
office. Of those, 32 complaints were

filed, but only five convictions were
made.
Even in the convictions, there is
little strength in the law. Domestic
assault is a fourth class misdemeanor
in the state of Oregon, and carries a
maximum penalty of one year in jail
and $1,000 fine. The most severe
sentence passed on a convicted ''wife
beater'' this year was eight months in
the Lane County Jail.
Escape from an oppressive, violent
relationship remains the single greatest pro-social option for the battered
woman.

Health hazar d appraisals reduce risk
by Dr. Staywell
and the staff of Student Health Services

There is just so much that modern
medicine can accomplish. Personal life
styles altered to reduce the risk factors will
probably accomplish more to give us
healthy lives than any miracle drugs.
How do we know the risk factors? Health
hazard appraisals are being used more and
more to determine what the risk factors
are. Some colleges are using health hazard
appraisals in lieu of required physicals.
Health education classes in many colleges
are utilizing health hazard appraisals
instead of personal health textbooks. A
computerized health hazard appraisal is
offered through physicians, industrial
medicine groups and hospitals by authorized health services firms.
Why know the risks? Bec~use knowing
the risks and acting accordingly may keep

the principles of freedom and opportunity , that one small refuge from
injustice and pain and terror has to
appeal to the benevolence of a local
few to insure its day-to-day existence.

One local group organized to help
women escape is Womenspace, a
shelter home founded in 1977 to
provide battered women with a place
to go when threatened or abused -- a
place safe from men -- a place that
provides support and reassurance.
(While the exact location of Womenspace is guarded for the protection and
safety of its residents, women in need
of help or information should call
485-6513.)
Despite its immeasurably positive
role, Womenspace is currently suffering from minimal financial support.

with someone she once loved.
"It started with small simple arguments. He was self-employed and
worked his own hours. He had a lot of
time on his hands and he became
bored.
'' He would come home and start
nit-picking-pointing out things I hadn 't done, or maybe something I hadn't
done well enough to suit him. I'd try to
defend myself and we'd argue.
''Over time, the arguments grew
bigger until one day he hit me.
''Jeff's thing was to hit me in the
ribs.
''The pain was incredible the first
time, but after that it was worse
because whenever I knew he was
going to hit me, I would remember
that first time and that memory would
intensify the pain of the new blow.
'' And after that first time I started to
live in fear. We lived in a small rural
town and I didn't know anyone. He
had discouraged me from having
friends- I was expected to stay right
in the house.
''Before long, I felt marooned to the
hilt.
''On those occasions when we did go
out socially together, I felt embarrasseÂ·d and humiliated. People would
say 'where did you get those bruises'
and I'd hear myself make excuses.
And my friends from the past that
respected me - I was afraid to see
them for fear they'd see what was
happening.
'' I began to lose respect for myself.
Psychologically I began to not like
myself. I would look in the mirror and
see the bruises, see the ugliness on my
body, and feel bad about myself.
"My feelings about myself were
being constantly reinforced by my
husband. 'You're a dumb, stupid
bitch. You're an incompetent nobody.'
"And. he'd dictate my life to
me-give me orders, tell me who I
could see, where I could go, what I was
to do with my time. I had no choices.
Then he'd remind me, 'I can kill you. If
you don't do as I say, you know what
you ' re gonna get. '
"After a while, I just didn't fuction
well. I didn't breathe or think right. I
felt anxiety from the fear that I would
do wrong and suffer the consequences.
I never knew when I was going to be

abused and I spent a great deal of my
time trying to please him or pacify
him."
The efforts Sandy made to pacify
Jeff were seldom effective.
On the occasions he attacked her
physically he was usually under the
influence of alcohol or marijuana.
Sandy is convinced that those drugs
helped create Jeff's antagonistic
moods.
"In small towns, like where we
lived, there is little to do and a lot of
men-particularly young men-spend a
lot of time drinking and smoking pot.
'' In some men, like Jeff, the
combination of drugs seemed to bring
out the worst .

We went months sometimes
without any sex in the
relationship at all'

'' And it was cyclical. He would drink
and smoke, come home and abuse me,
feel guilty, and then drink and smoke
to bury the guilt."
Sandy is quick to point out that her
husband was, in many ways, as
miserable as she.
"He felt guilty, didn't understand
why he was doing the things he did
and he was disgusted with himself.
deteriorated
''The relationship
equally for both of us. Many times, I'd
go to bed early, not to avoid sex, but to
avoid the fighting . Then when he'd
come to bed, I'd be asleep and he'd
feel rejected.
"We went months sometimes without any sex in the relationship at all.
''When two people are as full of fear
and guilt and are as unhappy as we
were, who's going to be interested in
that anyway?
"That's why it was absurd when he
accused me of stepping out on him.
My God! That was the farthest thing
from my mind. I think he knew that,
too .''
Another thing far removed from
Sandy's thoughts was the option of
escape .
"Somehow, I hadn't even considered it. When I was young, my father

beat my mother , but eventually he
quit. I guess I kept thinking that Jeff
would quit someday, too.''
But , the opportunity for escape did
present itself- in the form of a
momentary state of mental peace, on a
night when she was surrounded with
reassurance: A dark house, a warm
fire, a child in her arms and a quiet
night that allowed her to collect her
thoughts.
'' Sitting there those hours in the
rocker, I started thinking, 'I have
everything right here in my arms. If I
were to get away from here just once, I
would never come back. I would never
put up with the beatings again. If I
could just go out that door.'
'' But for some reason I waited until
he came home , hoping, I guess, that
he would be OK.
"When he threw the coffee table, all
the things I'd been thinking just put
me into motion.
"I ran right by him, with the baby,
out the door and I didn't look back.
And I ran as hard as I could for several
blocks, knocked on the door of a house
and the people took me in.
'' I stayed there for two weeks and I
was starting to feel safe. Then one day
Jeff saw me on the street in front of the
house where I'd been staying.
"Somehow, I managed to get inside
and lock the door before he caught me.
I called the police."
The police provided Sandy with
options she had known nothing about.
She was transported to Eugene where
a policewoman escorted her to Womenspace, a shelter home for women
who are victims of domestic violence.
"Womenspace was fantastic! For
one thing, no men know where it is,
and right away I felt totally safe there.
"Everything was provided. Little
things like a toothbrush, soap and
towels. Big things like group support
from the volunteers and staff.
''The people were like big sisters.
They were people I could tell my
troubles to . They listened objectively,
were attentive and they didn't tell me
what to do.

'' I was informed about my fegal
options, housing , jobs-anything I
needed to know.
"Most of all, I was safe. I had my
own space. I was recuperating and it
felt good . ''
Yet it was only the beginning.
Sandy's wounds would heal slowly.
"I was at Valley River Center one
day. I kept seeing all these people
smiling and they were friendly and
they would speak to me . I just couldn 't
imagine people being cheerful. It had
been so long since I'd been happy that
I had to force a smile and when I did ,
I'd get emotional and tears would
come. I felt completely drained.
" For several months I was really
negative and I found myself categorizing men. I would see them on the
street and think, 'you woman beaters. '
"It was unfair , but I just couldn't be
trusting. I'm still having to adjust to
the healthy side of people.''
And Sandy is working to improve
her own health. For physical therapy
she has undergone massage.

1 saw a lot of women who
had been beaten worse
than 1'
''I was under tension for so long that
guess some of my muscles had
ceased to function. My masseur told
me that parts of my back were
completely dead- unresponsive.''
Her mental health is being restored
with the help of a psychiatrist, support
from LCC's Women's Awareness Center and the growth she is experiencing
in school.
And her agonizing memories of pain
and fear are slowly subsiding and are
being replaced with a powerful sense
of self-worth.
"When I was at Womenspace, I saw
a lot of women who had been beaten
much worse than I. I'm not scarred like
some of them , just bruised and I'm
recovering and discovering my real
self.
"My mind is a precious thing . I
don 't want to waste it .''

Allen's Interiors: But is it art?
Review by Sarah Jenkins
of The TORCH

Woody Allen has rightfully gained
the reputation of a master of comic
films in America. Well, even masters
are entitled to one mistake, and Allen
made his with "Interiors," now showing at Valiey River Twin #2.

Friesen scheduled

for WOW Hall

Pure artistry, dazzling technical
virtuosity and robust musical statements are in store for the Eugene
musical community when David Friesen and John Stowell team up Monday, Dec. 4, for a 9 p.m. performance
at the Community Center for the
Performing Arts/WOW Hall.
Both homegrown Oregonians, bassist Friesen and guitarist Stowell are on

'
. â€¢ â€¢â€¢

'
'

Â·Â¾;;_

As a drama, Allen's plot was
adequate. A middle-aged man decides
to separate from his wife after their
three daughters are grown. The wife
suffers a mental breakdown. The three
daughters each deal with the separation, and subsequent divorce and
remarriage of their father, in different
ways.
Nice simple story line. Unfortunately, the cast, including Allen's protege,
Diane Keaton, represents nothing
more than stereotypes.
The fatherÂ·, a successful businessman who travels to Greece for some
unknown reason, is the classic example of mid-life crisis. The mother, a
successful interior decorator, is fragile
and somewhat terrifying . But then,
most perfectionists who suffer breakdowns are fragile and somewhat
terrifying.
The daughters, however, present
the most annoying stereotypes. The
oldest, Rinada (played by Keaton), is a
commercially successful poet. She is
aloof and cool toward her sisters and
keeps telling everyone who will listen
that she needs time alone to write .
Flynn, the youngest daughter , is an
actress . But she knows she is only
hired for her looks . Believe it or not,
one of her lines is, "I only have a few
good years left.''
Besides the all-too-familiar characters, Allen spends a great deal of
time trying to convince the audience
that this is an art work-not just
another film. His symbols couldn't be
more obvious if they had sub-titles.
.
While the crew should be commended for beautiful camera angles
and (, .lighting, the movie failed all
expectations as a standard work by
Woody Allen or as an art work by
anybody.

David Friesen

the final leg of their West Coast tour
before departing for an extended stay
in Europe .
A review in the jazz magazine
Downbeat recently says "Friesen projects an aura as cool and refreshing as
an Oregon breeze ... he and Stowell
spin latticework filigrees with inventiveness and virtuosity.''
KLCC Musical Director Micheal
Handler says that the concert will be
simulcast on KLCC-FM, and is being
co-sponsored by the station and the
CCPA as part of KLCC' s charter
subscription drive. Subscriber forms
and information will be available at the
WOW Hall, 8th and Lincoln, during
the show. Volunteers will also be at the
station to take subscription orders over
the phone.

Titans aim for 5th straight defensive title
BY Beverly Daugherty
for The TORCH

The LCC Titans have won the defensive
. championship for the past four years and
as they head into a new basketball season,
the coach is looking to that victory as one of
the team goals again this year.
Commenting on the youth of this year's
team, Head Coach Dale Bates said that
there is a lack of experience at the college
level but "we're kind of excited." "They
have a good attitude; they're working
hard- hustling hard."
He noted that while there is presently a

lack of leadership in the backcourt, the
team will work at developing that. The
team's strength lies in their quickness and
defensive pressure, which the coach thinks
will get them a lot of mileage. As he put it,
"We're going to play a lot bigger than we
are.''
Bates said that the emphasis will be on
defensive play, striving for balance and
team unity.
The Titans play in the Oregon Community College Athletic Association (OCCAA)
Conference with nine other teams. According to Bates, the Clackamas squad stands

out as a team to be reckoned with this year.
According to Bates, the schedule of
games, both pre-conference and OCCAA,
is outstanding. "It should be an exciting
year for the conference."
Bates is assisted this season by Dan
Cumberland and Greg Anderson. This is
Cumberland's second season assisting
here at Lane. Anderson is a former Titan.
A profile of the team looks like this:
â€¢ Tim Bird, a 6'6", 178 lb. sophomore, is
back with the team for a second year.
Tim's reason for playing basketbalJ is
simple: "I like it."
â€¢ Tim O'Donnell comes to Lane from
Juneau, Alaska. The 6'4", 178 lb. freshman has good size and will play strongly.
â€¢ Larry Towery, who served an apprenticeship with the team last year, is perhaps the
fastest mover this year. Larry is 6'2" and
weighs 170 lbs.
â€¢ John Hansen, also from Alaska, played
some JV ball last year but had to stop
because of a knee injury. He came to
Eugene and spent some time hanging
around the gym while rehabilitating his
knee. He is ready for a good season.
Hansen is 6'2" and weighs 170 lbs.
â€¢ Rob Parker transferred in from Woodward. The 6'4", 185 lb. health student is
an experienced offensive rebounder and is
doing well.
â€¢ Greg Gamby, at 5' 11", 185 lbs., will see
a lot of action this season. Greg plays
basketball because he enjoys it.
â€¢ Mike Murphy, from Marist, will also see
some action as a point guard. Mike is 6'0"
and 165 lbs.
â€¢ Roger Condos, who attended high school
in Pleasant Hill, has grown up with
basketball. Condos is 6'2", 165 lbs. He will
probably play guard/forward.
â€¢ From Elmira, David Noonan, 6'0",
180 lbs., will play guard or forward also.
â€¢ Sean Cashman is 6'5", weighs 205 lbs.
He hails from Bend. Bates sees.. Cashman
as being a strong reserve for inside play.

The cover of this special Christmas supplement has been provided as an alternative to the
over-priced wrapping paper available at retail department stores.
Following the military belief that no matter how simple a procedure it can be explained in
writing, here are directions in five (5) easy steps for using the TORCH wrapping paper .

Supplies needed to complete wrapping;

EDITOR'S NOTE:
The TORCH tries to do its part
during the school term. You know,
professional journalism stuff like being
in the right place at the right time,
bringing you the latest news as it
happens, telling you about interesting
people on campus. Why, we even try
to bring a little humor into the college

A) Official TORCH wrapping paper
B) Tape (transparent, masking, adhesive, electrical, recording, or whatever's handy)
C) Trim for tying (Ribbon, string, yarn, rope or chain is appropriate)
D) Scissors (TORCH staff members recommend the type with rounded tips)
E) Object to be wrapped (ideally it should be smaller than the wrapping paper for ease
wrapping)

i...

_ A) Begin by placing present to be wrapped in the center of tne wrapping paper. Fold side A
over object and tape to object. Then fold side B over the object and over side A . Pull taut and
tape down.
B) Take open ended side C with corners A and C corresponding. Run fingers along top of
object and down toward open ended side C and down side of object, creating a crease along
upper edge of object being wrapped. Take new corner nearest corner Con open ended side C
and fold that edge over parallel to object. Repeat for opposite corner nearest corner. This
should form a triangle. Fold up and/or over object being wrapped . Tape.
Repeat step Bon opposite side D substituting corners C for corner Band corner A for corner
D. If you can't locate any of the corresponding corners, substitue corner E.

C) Ribbon tying. Obtain ribbon. Cut a sufficient amount of ribbon for the object. Lay ribbon
along a preferably flat , hard surface. Place wrapped object upside down on top of ribbon to be
used. Take end A of ribbon and lift it over the bottom of the object and parallel to side B. Lift
end B of the ribbon up over the bottom of the wrapped object and lay it down where end A once
laid . Pull taut. Holding each end of the ribbon in hand A and hand B in center of wrapped
object, quickly flip the object around so the side in front of you is not in front of you anymore
and the side that was facing the other side is now the side in front of you. This effectively
creates a twist in the ribbon. Now flip the package over on end and the rest of the way over so
the right side now faces upward. Take end Band place it over the top of the wrapped object
and down parallel to end A. Pick up end A and place it over the package and down where end B
previously was and where end A orginally was. This creates a cross in the package. Take end
A and slip it under the cross formed by the ribbon and pull both ends A and B taut . Tie bow
and trim off excess of end A and end B. (If ribbon tying seems difficult for you, it is permissible
to use chin A or toot B in addition to hand A and hand B.)

D) Your finished product could look like this!!
Maybe over-priced wrapping paper isn't such a bad alternative.

paper.
We're trying to do all that in this
issue, too. But this one is special for
us -- it's the last paper of the term and
it includes our annual holiday supplement.
So we hope you enjoy it -- from our
original official TORCH wrapping
paper to an expose on fake Santas. We
enjoyed putting it all together for you.
As we sign off until Jan. 4, 1979, we
all wish you successful final exams and
a great vacation!

CON)UME:R') GUIDE TO THE ONE & ONLY ST. NIC~
By Paul Land
of The Torch
Holidays, it would seem, are following the same sad course as nuclear
power.
Originally thought of as a safe
alternative to other forms of energy,
nuclear power plants are coming under
close scrutiny by the press and public
as a health danger.
So it is with holidays.
It started with Halloween. It was
once a gay yearly occasion when
millions of pre-teens children dressed
in fantasy, mooching candy from
neighbors and cracking eggs into gas
tanks. But it isn't safe anymore. With
the threat of razor-blade apples and
psychedelic Snicker's bars, the parents are keeping their children at
home to watch ' ' Little House on the
Prairie .''

FACIAL FEATURES"

SANTA: A bright smile, wrinkles,
completely white hair, twinkling eyes
and a big nose with a tinge of frostbite.
A forced smile, painted
FAKE:
wrinkles, red roots, glazed eyes and a
Groucho mask.
TEST: Hold a "Hustler" centerfold in
front of his face and see if he leers.

CLOTHING

Red Velvet suit, white
SANTA:
ermine fur . Depending on weather
conditions may also have a thermal cap
(this too being red and white). Boots

with curled toes and bells on the tip.
FAKE: Maroon velour sliced out of a
1976 Oldsmobile. "Funny fur." Cap
with an electric heater built in the top .
Adidas -- red with white stripes.
TEST: Look for '' Made at the North
Pole'' on the linging of the jacket. The
fake outfit will say "Body by Fisher."

MG OF TOYS"
Trains, dolls, puppies,
SANTA:
basketballs, chemistry sets, stuffed
toys, etc.
FAKE: Chain saw, lock pick, mask,

With this sobering fact in mind , The
TORCH presents a primer in Santa
Identification. With this information
in your hands on Christmas Eve, you
can easily spot the imposter who has
no other motive that to rip-off everything under your tree.

Slâ‚¬1GH

SANTA: Large, oak and iron, drawn
by eight reindeer plus a clone with a
red nose .
FAKE: Candy apple red, side pipes,
lighted swan hood ornament, wide
whitewalls, wet bar.
TEST: Jump in and yell "On Dasher,
on Dancer, on Prancer, ' ' etc. Check
for movement.

HELPERS"

SANTA: Elves.Â·
FAKE: Ex-convicts.
TEST: Measure for height.

FLIGHT PLAN

SANTA: Manages to hit every house
in the world in a short time .
FAKE: Spends several hours in your
house .
Call the Federal Aviation
TEST:
Administrati on and verify low-flying
vehicular clearance.

And now it's happening to Christmas . Not only has the Yuletide been
commercialized beyond sanity, it's
getting downright dangerous.
You can 't trust every man in a red
suit who slides down your chimney
these days.

rope, sawed-off shot gun, grappling
hook, antique pricing guide.
TEST: Offer him a gold watch and see
if he swaps the neighbor's toys for it.

MIS"CELLANEOUS"

'fd'

FA~â‚¬ S"ANT/l

REAL S"ANTA

SANTA: Smells of reindeer droppings, sawdust and mildew (since he
only drags the suit out once a year).
Leaves your home with less than he
"Merry
Felicitation:
came with.
Christmas to all, and to all a good
night!''
FAKE: Smells of gasoline and vodka .
Leaves your home with much more
than he came with. Felicitation:
" Boy, do I love Christmas!"

for The TORCH

Maybe it's time to set aside those
school books and celebrate.
To help people get into the Christmas spirit, there are a variety of
special events around Eugene.
Kicking off the Christmas season
will be the Maude Kerns Art Centers
Annual Christmas Sale. The sale
begins Dec. 1 and runs through Dec. 9.
Th_e arts and crafts of hundreds of
Oregon artists will be for sale at the
center-jewe lry, stained glass, pottery, weavings, toys, ornaments and
more, explained Barbara Mundall,
Maude Kerns Administrati ve Assistant. '' All the items are handcrafted,

At art centers, crafts fairs and schools

Ore gon artists offer han dicr aft gifts

most of them from local artists."
"Maude Kerns also caters to the
small budget shopping needs of children," said Mundall. "Children's
Shopping Night , Wednesday, Dec. 6,
from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., is a chance for
children to purchase special handcrafted gifts priced from 50 cents to
$4, ranging from a special pincushion
for Aunt Edith, to a mug for dad, to a
knit stocking for brother Bill."
The kids are welcome to the art
centers "Children's Christmas Play"
on Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. "The play is for
kids seven years and older," explained
Mundall. "Admission is free."
If foods interest you more than arts
and crafts, try some handcrafted
sandwiches and desserts at the "all
you can eat" Deli Luncheon on Dec. 1
from 11:30 to 1:30. Hot gingerbread
and coffee can also be purchased
nearly every day at the Maude Kerns
Christmas Sale.
Try the Old Oregon Christmas Fair

LCC pott ery sak items range from fun ky "to fine

by Eleanor Herbert
for The TORCH
Ceramics - ranging in quality from
''funky'' pieces to finely-crafte d pieces
-go on sale during the last week of
classes in a special Christmas sale at
LCC.
The Ceramics Department at Maude
Kerns Art Center and the Crafts
Center at the U of O are also
accumulating a diverse assortment of
ceramics for holiday sales.
According to Tony Grano, ceramics
aide , who is coordinating the LCC sale,
instructors and students from the
Ceramics Department will sell their
work Wednesday, Dec. 6, and Thursday, Dec. 7, from 9 a.m . to 5 p .m . in
LCC's cafeteria. The sale, which the
department has held each year for
about six years, has become an annual
event.
The kinds and quality of pots vary.
Some pots are hand-built ; others are
thrown on a potter's wheel. The
selection includes cups, platters, teapots, jars . . . '' a real mish-mash, ''
sa;,,Â·s Srano ; and while some pieces will
be of high quality, others made by
beginning students can be ''real

mistakes.'' ''But they'll cost a dollar or
so and are okay for using as flower
pots.''
Fifteen percent of the proceeds from
the sale goes to the Ceramics Department . It may be used for some special
departmenta l need or for having
someone come in for a special ceramics' workshop according to Grano.
Last year the money was used to
purchase bricks for a special kiln.
â€¢The Crackpot Sale, which is part of
the larger annual Christmas sale at
Maude Kerns Art Center, is a one-day
event lasting from 10 a .m . to 5 p.m.
this Saturday, Dec. 2. Pots will be
displayed in the ceramics studio.
According to Jennifer Owen, ceramics teacher in charge of the event,
the pots aren't cracked as the name
might suggest but are donated pots or
unclaimed left-overs from classes . . .
"anything that's kicking around."
Prices of pots start at SO cents, "less
expensive than anywhere else in
town.''
â€¢ The U of O's Crafts Center Christmas Sale of handcrafted gift items will
offer one large tableful of ceramics.
The pieces "vary in quality" says

Cut your own recor d
by Debbie Forney
for The TORCH

If you want to be unique - if you
have a little extra cash - if you have
500 friends and relatives on your gift
list-and if you believe in creativity at
Christmas time- Tri-ad Recording
Studio may be able to help you. Be
original and make your own record.
While Tri-ad specializes in recording professional groups like the Jazz
Minors, co-owner Gene Moritz says
they are more than willing to help
amateurs (and gift-givers( as well.
But it isn't easy-or cheap. According to Moritz, the recording studio
rents for $35 an hour, which includes
an engineer for the session.
The tape itself, from which the
record is made, costs another $19.
Then the ''mixing,'' a process of
balancing the sounds on the original
tape, costs an additional $35 an hour.
If the cost hasn't scared you away
yet and you'd still like to make a
simple version of '' Jingle Bells'' for
your parents, forget it-the minimum
order for either long-playing albums or
"singles" is 500.
Between the first recording of the
tape and final record cutting, there are
lots of steps involved. First, the
recording in the studio of what is
known as a "dry" tape. The various

Shopping malls
deck their halls
for merrimen t

sections are recorded separately, then
mixed together-first the rhythm section (keyboard, bass, drums); followed
by the lead guitar; and then vocals.
Then during editing and mixing,
corrections and proper "balancing of
the various sections can be made.
After this has been completed, the
quarter-inch tape is sent to Los
Angeles for the intricate process of
"mastering." When this final master
tape has been completed, it's sent to
Nashville for the actual ''pressing'' of
the record.
Before the record is inade from the
master t'ape, the recording artist is
sent a "test pressing," which is a copy
of the record used to check for any
errors before the final pressing. The
artist must approve the test press
before the final press. This entire
process takes anywhere from 8 to 10
weeks, according to Moritz.
The album jacket, either black and
white or color, can be personally
designed, or designed by the studio.
Of course, studio design adds yet
another cost.
But after all the work, worry, cost
and time, you'll have a finished,
professionally produced record of your
very own.
And you may be able to hawk it at
local record shops or on street corners.
If not, you've got your Christmas giftgiving taken care of for years to come.

With only 25 days until Christmas
and only nine days before final exams
begin, many LCC students are probably wishing the month of December
could quietly slip away.
However hectic the holiday season
may appear, Christmas shoppers still
seem to enjoy the atmosphere and
activities Eugene-Springfield malls
and plazas present each year to
celebrate the holiday season.

This year the Eugene Mall, Valley
River Center and Spring Village
Shopping Plaza have extended their
hours to accomodate Christmas shoppers. Starting Dec. 11, the Eugene
Mall will be open from 9:30 a.m. to
9:30 p.m. on weekdays, 9:30 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. on Saturdays, and noon to 5
p.m. on Sundays (through Dec. 24).
Valley River Center extended its
shopping hours late in November. On
weekdays the center is open from 9 to
9, Saturdays 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and
Sundays 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. These
longer hours will remain in effect until
Dec. 24.
Spring Village also lengthened its
hours forÂ· Christmas buying. Weekdays the plaza will be open from 9:30
a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9:30 to
6 p.m. and Sundays 11 to 6, through
Dec. 24.
A large variety of entertainment is
scheduled for Â·the Eugene Mall during
the holiday season. For the children,
three adults dressed as wild animals
will be roaming the mall during the
holiday season, and passing out candy
canes to the children . Also, on "No. 1
Santa Claus Lane" (or, 857 Willamette
Street) the Santa Claus Workshop will
be entertaining the children Monday
through Sunday from 12 a.m. to 5 p.m.
through Dec. 11. After the 11th, the
workshop will be open from 10 a.m.
until 9 p.m. every day until Christmas.
Santa Claus will be passing out 18 inch
seedlings to all the children visiting
the workshop.

According to Bob Karau, entertainment coordinator for the Eugene Mall,
the last three years have seen a great
expansion of the mall's Christmas
entertainment schedule. Starting Dec.
9, 14 local school choirs will be
caroling through the mall at various
times during the holiday season. On
Friday, Dec. 22, a Community Sing
will take place at the central plaza
between 7 and 8 p.m., weather
permitting. The Sheldon High School
Brass Ensemble will also be playing on
the mall intermittently through the
Christmas season.
Saturday, Dec. 2, the Springfield
Christmas Parade will wind through
the streets of the city, starting at the
Paramount Plaza and ending up at the
Spring Village Plaza.Jean Lake, Business Manager at Spring Village,
Springfield merchants have sponsored
the appearance of the Astoria Clowns,
who will perform on the mall after the
parade. Lake feels that the parade will
draw about 10,000 people to the
Springfield area.
Last but not least, the Valley River
Center will also off er periodic entertainment to mall shoppers during the
holiday season.
School choirs will carol through the
shopping center's mall until Christmas
Eve.
Probably the most entertaining aspect of the Christmas season is the
large variety of decorations ornating
various malls, plazas and businesses
in the Eugene-Springfield area.
Valley River Center is basically
maintaining the same decorative style
as last year. At four locations within
the mall, 12 to 14 foot Christmas trees
brightly decorated and surrounded by
motorized stuffed animals can be
found. Planters throughout the mal are
filled with poinsettias.
Eugene Mall shopkeepers decorated
â€¢ their windows this season as part of a
contest in which four local artists will
select the best window decorations.
Spring Village Plaza will be erecting
a 40 foot Christmas tree in the parking
lot adjacent to the plaza as part of its
overall holiday decor.

Festive recipes for 'French 75,' punch
by Jack Robert,
LCC instructor
for The TORCH

The last thing we expected to find at
the Bob Dylan concert in Portland
early in November was an idea for a
Christmas party. When we arrived at
the Paramount that night of the
concert it was raining. The line of
ticket holders circled the entire building. Rather than stand in the unsteady
and wet crowd waiting for the door to
open, we decided to spend some time
in the Encore.
The Encore is a restaurant located
some five blocks north of the Paramount on Broadway. Like all good
restaurants, it has a good bar, where
you can leisurely kill an hour or two in
a quiet atmosphere sipping generously
poured cocktails and eavesdropping on
friendly conÂ·v ersations.

The bartenders are well tipped,
smooth and pleasant.
While there we heard a drink order
that surprised us. "I'll have a French
75," the voice said self-consciously.
The bartender smiled broadly as he
reached for one of those 12 ounce,
slender straight-edged glasses that
was at one time known as a Zombie
glass. He filled it with ice, set out a
line of bottles and began to pour. He
continued to pour for what seemed a
very long time. When he was finsihed,
he passed the drink to a smirking
waiter and winked menacingly. We
smirked to one another and then asked
the bartender how he mixed a French
75.
''It's a pretty standard recipe. We
don't get many calls for it so I haven't
bothered to develop my own." Not
being sure what a standard recipe

contained we persued our inquiry. '' I
take the tallest glass we have at the
bar and fill it with ice. Then I pour in
enough champagne to reach the
two-thirds mark ; add a couple of
ounces of bar gin, a splash of lemon
mix and finally float a little brandy on
top. The lemon is to kill the taste of
the gin," he added .
We agreed that the recipe was
indeed very standard.
On our way back to the Paramount
from the . Encore, we . recalled a
Christmas party at which the hostess
served French 75s mixed from a
non-standard recipe.
Upon ourÂ· return to Eugene, we
called the hostess of that party of
Christmas past to find out exactly how
she mixes a French 75. And while the
ingredients are basically the same, the
method differs.
The lady mixes drinks in large
quantities and serves them in ice tea
glasses from a pitcher. She insists that
she does not, nor ever has, mixed a
batch of drinks in her sink. When we
asked about the quantities of the
various liquors, she responded, "I do
it mathematically. I first determine
how many jiggers of gin I'll be using,
then for each jigger of gin I add one
teaspoon of lemon juice and one
teaspoon of powdered sugar. '' She
went on to explain that she then
dilutes this mixture with three parts of
cheap champagne. ''While you must
add sugar, you must measure,'' she
''If it's too sweet it's
warned.
terrible.''
The night we drank them, they were
not too sweet at all. We have since
experimented in order to find the
perfect French 7.5. To the best of our

clouded recollections, the last drinks
we mixed were the best and were
concocted as follows:
Fill: A tall glass half full with cracked
ice.
Add: l jigger gin
1 jigger lemon juice
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Fill: The glass almost full with chilled
champagne and float a little cognac on
top.

Any of these three methods will
produce a perfectly drinkable French
75.
No party could compare to a French
75 party, but each year we are
fortunate enough to be invited to a
Christmas party that has always
proven to be both eniovable and
unpredictable . The continued long
and successful run of this annual affair
is directly attributable to the punch the
host serves. This drink has no name
and is the sinister creation of a
congenial but impatient man , who
likes his friends, but prefers them
drunk.
We veterans have learned that the
only way to maintain any dignity
whatsoever at these parties is to keep
moving from conversation to conversation while avoiding our leering host as
he moves around the party with hands
grasping at any half-filled glasses he
sees so that it can be refilled and
returned to its victim/ owner. Oh how
he delights in that inevitable moment
in the evening when his guests are
instantly and simultaneously flashed
from totai sobriety into flagrant drunkness.
The punch recipe has been protected by this man for many years . He
gave it to us one Thanksgiving when
we needed to entertain a large number
of people inexpensively. The mixture
has only three ingredients: Dry sherry
(the cheaper the better) , vodka (the
stronger the better), and a splash of a
mixer to add bubbles. The punch
should be mixed with one part vodka to
three parts sherry with a little ginger
ale or seven-up . He serves it over a
block of ice from a punch bowl , but we
served it over cubes from a pitcher.
The service changes neither the taste
nor the effect.
It is our opinion that those needlessly rich and sometimes heated holiday
drinks like eggnog, buttered rums and
hot toddies should be left to a
Christmas in New England or a ski
weekend or anywhere else where it is
cold . What Christmas in Eugene calls
for is either French 75s or a sherryvodka killer punch.

Christmas Vacation. While some
students are looking forward to skiing,
hiking, or just lazing around, others
foresee two weeks of listening to kids
say, "I'm bored-ther e's nothing to
do."
Vacation time can leave a lot of extra
time on a student parent's handsespecially when budgets are tight and
most kids' classes or movies are
expensive.
Eugene and Springfield residents
are fortunate to have myriad programs
to help fill some of the time- and give
the kids exciting things to do. Plus,
most of these public programs cost
little or nothing.

activities available during December.
