The jury isn't in yet, but indications are
that 11 full-time LCC faculty members ,who
recently received Reduction in Force (RIF)
memorandums may still have jobs fall
term.

Weaver looks for
local food stainp
hardship cases
by Ron Robbins
of The TORCH
Congressman Jim Weaver is seeking
letters listing specific hardships related to
food stamp allotments.
Revised food stamp regulations are
causing " tremendous hardships" for lowincome elderly people, according to the
co-director of the Sentries of Lane County,
a senior organization which watches government action on issues affecting the
elderly.
The 1977 Revised Food Stamp Act was
an attempt to simplify eligibility regulations, making food stamps easier to get.
But the effect has been to take away the
stamps from those who need them most,
says J ewell Baker, Sentries co-director.
Brooks Yeager of Congressman Jim
Weaver's Eugene office says he has
received about 100 complaints, mostly
from low-income elderly and working .
mothers using food stamps.
The heart of the problem is the revised
deduction schedules used to determine the
amount of foodstamps for which a household is eligible.
• Under the previous regulations, itemized medical expenses were deductible.
Now everyone receives a standard $65
deduction. Medical costs above that
amount cannot be deducted.
Baker says this is especially hard on
seniors because they frequently have
higher medical expenses.
• A second group hurt by the new rules
smgle-parent families - usually working
mothers who must use child-care services.
With the new rules 'child-care deductions
are not allowed; child care is included
along with rent and utilities in an overall
shelter deduction. Again this is a standard
amount, $80 per household. It does not
matter how many members the household
has or what the actual living expenses are.
Peter Defazio, with Weaver's office in
Washington D.C., is asking for letters
citing specific hardships. The Department
of Agriculture will hold hearings in early
May and Weaver will enter the letters as
testimony.

, 1979

The memorandums, which were sent out
March 15, were prompted when declining
enrollment in several departments reached
a point where faculty lay-offs were an
ominous possibility. The administration
reacted by sending the RIF notices to those
least senior faculty members likely to be
affected.
But according to Dean of Instruction
Gerald Rasmussen, a lot of discussion in
departments, faculty union and the administration has created a cooperative atmosphere and some innovative measures are
being taken to forestall actual retrenchment of the affected instructors.
Rasmussen says the faculty is especially
valuable because ." you have to implement
on the firing line because that's where
they're getting shot at."
And in a memorandum to Hank Douda,
director of employee relations , the LCC
Education Association (LCCEA) outlined
four suggestions designed to prevent staff
lay-offs:
• Assigning summer session teaching
assignments to those instructors affected
by RIF.
• Retraining affected instructors to assume other assignments available at the
college.
• Providing the opportunity for professional and curriculum development for
affected staff members.
• Establishing a cross-campus matching
process whereby affected instructors would
be placed in multi-department assignments presently staffed by part-time staff.
In addition to these suggestions, Delta
Sandersen, language arts instructor and
LCCEA president, says that in the long
term, the LCCEA feels that natural student
attrition will handle staffing overloads in
given areas.
Furthermore , she says, "It is possible
that we really need to evaluate workload
better than we have. ''
She cites a recent comprehensive national study that indicates the quality of
education may be greater in smaller
classes. If class sizes were reduced in some
areas, she says, a reduction in force might
not be necessary even at current enrollment levels in affected departments.
One of the affected instructors, Dan
Hodges, recently moved . from a faculty
position in the Social Science Department
to the head of testing in the counseling
department.
And Rasmussen feels that a welladministered testing program might solve
the declining enrollment problem by giving
new students a more accurate perception of
their skills.
"If students can find what skills are
needed," he says, "they're more likely to
stay in school - in a program - and not
drop out discouraged.
"Hell, if we could retain five percent
more students, we might . not be facing
RIF."

Man of the woods
by Michael Tenn
of The TORCH

It 's an overcast spring day. On a
wooded hillside overlooking Eugene,
a group of students stand clustered
around two small plants.
A wiry, bearded, sandy-haired man
dressed in rain-jacket, levis and mudsplattered rain-boots is kneeling by the
plants.
'' I want you to take a good look at

these," says Jay Marston, LCC biology instructor. ''This one is wild carrot,
Dacus carota, and this one . . . '' he
glances around the circle of faces , "is
Cornium maculatum, poison hemlock
- remember Socrates?"
To the casual observer, the small,
green plants appear to be very similar.
They are in fact very different. One is
edible. The other can cause death if
ingested in even very small amounts.

LETTERS/EDITORIALS/COLUMN S

Growth threatens farm land
' Editorial by Frank Babcock
of The TORCH

Working with embarrassingly little public input, a citizen's committee in
Creswell is currently drafting a 20-year urban growth plan it hopes the Oregon Land
Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) will approve.
Unfortunately, economic pressures and commercial interests appear to be forcing
the city to consider a future direction of growth that violates the intention of LCDC
goals.
Since Creswell expects to double its population by the year 2,000, the city must
develop a viable plan for growth as set forth in LCDC Goal 2 (Land-Use Planning) .
As more or less an urban island in a rural valley, Creswell could conceivably grow

in most any direction. But the most attractive direction at this point in time is
predictably that which is least expensive to the city. And with economics in mind,
the Creswell Citizens Involvement Committee (CIC) has drawn a proposed urban
growth boundary that includes some 110 acres of productive agricultural land
owned jointly by Mazama Timber and the Wildish Company. Those firms hope to
build a housing development on the parcel which lies just east of 1-5, the present
eastern city limit.
The CIC's reasoning for choosing the Mazama/Wildish proposed development is
understandable - the developers have dangled a couple of big carrots.
For one, future growth of the city in any direction will require expansion of its
sewage lagoon. Mazama/Wildish has offered to build a new lagoon for the city free
of charge if the city is able to get a zoning variance on the developer's land.
Secondly, it is attractive for the city to opt for a large parcel for future annexation
purely because it is less hassle - one cooperative big land owner is worth dozens of
irascible small ones.
Nevertheless, a great deal of land south and west of Creswell is ideal for little
else than growing rocks or building houses. Trouble is, urban expansion into those
areas would mean that the city might have to foot the bill for larger sewage facilities
- the parcels in those areas are relatively small and the parcel owners are less
likely to have the wherewithall or the collective benevolence to give the city a
freebee.
But it must be remembered that Creswell's growth plan is for a 20-year period

'houses vs. flight pa~hs'
and expanding into non-productive areas might hold some long-term advantages.
First, by closely adhering to LCDC goals, the city is more likely to qualify for
federal grants to finance extended city services.
Second, by growing into an area comprised of small parcels, growth might be
slower and more measured as existing property owners attempt to resist
,
subdivision until property values rise.
Wholesale acceptance of the Mazama/Wildish proposal would, by contrast,
ensure almost immediate creation of a "bedroom" community that would
immediately raise the burden _of school support for everyone in the Creswell School
District, including many rural residents who have little influence in Creswell's
ultimate decision.
Another factor to be considered is the proposed expansion of the Creswell
Airport. Since it lies just north of the Mazama/Wildish tract, it's possible
expansion could leave the developers in conflict with the Federal Aeronautics
Administration (FAA) concerning houses vs. flight paths.
But, the greatest issue of all is comprehensive land-use planning. Last
November, Oregon voters expressed strong support for LCDC goals.
That public mandate should not be ignored for the benefit of a few developers
and a city struggling to satisfy short-term needs.
A public hearing on the matter will be held tonight, April 26, at Creswell High
School at 8 p.m.

Frisbee flickers fling frisbees for friendly frisbee fans
One of the Aces Professional Frisbee T earn members demonstrates

fine frisbee form during their April
25 LCC demonstration.

The 25 students on this field trip
compose one of the four classes in
'' Edible and Poisonous Plants of the
Northwest" taught by Marston this
year. The groups spend a number of
hours out of doo_rs.
"I don't think anyone can learn very
much without getting their hands
dirty,'' says the 37-year-old biology
instructor. "You listen to someone
lecture· and it can be very sterile . . .
unless you can see how that material
actually looks and applies."
•
Besides doing field work these
students have other- opportunities to
get their hands dirty. Each week a
different group of students prepares a
meal of wild foods which is consumed
in class.
"This business of eating in the
classroom is a gimmick . . . getting
people to become- enthused about it
(the class),'' says Marston. '' In the
process they're going to learn something." He calls this "painless learning.''
As a high school student in Montana, Marston encountered a biology
teacher who got him so interested in
biology that he's pursued it ever since.
It might be that Marston' s desire to
kindle interest and enthusiasm in his
students stems in part from his own
experience with that biology teacher.
'' I never had much doubt about
what I was going to do," says
Marston . "I wanted to teach biology."
MarstoP has been teaching at LCC
since 1968.
Science instructors at LCC are
allowed to design biology courses

around their own areas of expertise
and interest. Marston says he therefore gravitates towards ''applied biology."
''People should learn something
which is of use to them, of value to
their life," he says. ". . . for most
people who , go to LCC, academics for
academics (sake) is of lesser importance.''
Accordingly, Marston teaches several other science classes which are
practical. "Ecology and Environment,'' for example, has generated a
lot of interP-:,t amonq students. Marston says that land-use is the number
one environmental issue we must deal
with locally.

''What do we do with the area where
we live?" asks Marston. "Do we make
it an L.A. or do we try to keep that
from occuring?"
Another of Marston' s interests is
"ethno-botany," the various ways
people have used plants - for foods
and drugs - and so he is preparing a
•class in plant toxicology which he

plans to teach next winter. So he says
that a course in herbal medicine may
be a step towards a series of classes
designed to meet the needs of the
increasing number of students attending college to study naturopathic
medicine.
This summer Marston will again
lead a group of biology students on a
backpacking field study down the
Olympic Peninsula. The Pacific coast
is one of Marston' s favorite haunts.
"I could live there (the coast) easily,
just by foraging for wild food."
On a muddy Eugene hillside, a
group of students continue with their
own foraging.
"That stuff you're standing in?"
asks Marston. "That's called Rhus
diversoloba - poison oak.''

The ASLCC announces that two new
telephones have been installed in the
student lounges in the Center Building.
The phones are free for LCC students.

A proposal to support a free state for
Palestinians was removed from the ASLCC
agenda at its April 18 meeting. An article
in last week's TORCH reported that the
item had been tabled.
According to Sally Stearns, ASLCC
vice-president, removal from the agenda
means that the item wi11 not be discussed
or voted on by the Student Senate. Tabling
an item means that it would be discussed
and voted on at a later date.

The LCC Counseling Department will be

Then it started raining and I remembered that I was only at the Third Annual
Equinox Gathering - not heaven, just
utopia, just lovely, idyllic Vashon Island in
the Puget Sound of Washington.
The Equinox Gathering lasted for three
days. I attended it along with members of
the Associated Students of Lane Community College (ASLCC), filling in for one of
their group members who cancelled out at
the last minute. I had no idea what to

Vashon I took out my dictionary and looked
for the meaning of the word .. equinox."

the people here are staff members of local
community service agencies,'' explained
Stutz.
Eventually I got around to talkinJZ to the
director of the gathering, Brian Livingston, who is also the coordinator of CAREL
(Eugene Community Service Organization)
which spearheaded the event.
"The idea of the gathering is to expose
people from the Northwest to alternate
styles of living," said Livingston. "This
includes energy sources, food and medicine. We especially want to emphasize
community living situations.''
Livingston explained that by stimulating
people to create "living examples of
alternate lifestyles," they would be setting
up role models which would serve to affect
social change.
He said the weekend pivoted around
several daily workshops involving lengthy
discussions on a variety of topics ranging
from education and politics to personal
growth and spirituality.
"This is a varied crowd of people," said
Livingston, "but underlying (the group)
there exists a strong sense of unity - a

such a theme.
But when I rose Friday morning with a
whopper of a cold and looking outside at
the wet, gloomy weather, my bright ideals
of spring and new beginnings were
markedly dampened.
I felt miserable until I joined the highspirited, friendly group of hungry folks,
whereby my mood quickly lifted.
After breakfast I talked to Dan Wenzel, a
staff member of the Community Energy
Bank in Eugene.
•'This is just various people getting
together, exchanging ideas and making
contacts - it's a people-oriented weekend," he said.
Wenzel explained that he was interested
in the weekend because as a member of the
Energy Bank, he believes in the value of
people working together and sharing in a
communal spirit.
Another local resident, Jay Stutz, operator of Switchboard referral service in
Euge~e, had this to say: •'These people are
very new-age oriented; they're open to
change and growth.

economic.
In itself, the Equinox Gathering provided a living example of communal
harmony, of spiritual brotherhood. A
feeling of mutual trust and concern ran
deep throughout the crowd. This set up a
conducive environment for comfortable
socializing.
I did a great deal of this. I considered the
workshops secondary. I was at my best
during meal time - this being the high
point for me. The ritual of dining together
provided an opportunity to meet new
people.
_ But, three days of social interacting and
island idealism does take its toll.
On the final day I didn't attend any
workshops. I needed to rest. I went to the
dining hall and just sat, inspecting _the
crowd. I noted that beards were positively
''in.'' And there I sat, clean-shaven and
baby-faced, feeling out of place and
brutally conspicuous.
The event came to an end that Sunday
afternoon. As a final farewell gesture, all
those who still remained gathered in a
circle and clasped hands and chanted one
last" Aummm."
Having finished this I smiled, blew my
congested nose and wandered outside. I
was ready to go. It was time to get back to
the mainland.
On the return bus trip I sat reflecting on
all the hopeful friendly people I'd met.
These many encounters gave the-weekend
a life-affirming quality.
Nonetheless, I was glad to be leaving the
country club behind - glad to be thinking
my own thoughts .. .
"Social change and growth?" As I see it,
there are two ways to accomplish this
growth: The social process - communal
style, as expressed during the weekend, or
the individual process.
I personally prefer the latter method.
Therefore I was glad to be alone again. You
see, I like to "do my own thing."
That's why when I stopped for dinner at
a greasy cafe in Portland that night, and
the waitress asked me, "What'II ya' have,
hon'?" - I contemplated, rubbed my
groaning navel and said, "Aummm . . .
how 'bout a burger and fries."
No way ~ould I stomach anymore healthy
vibes.

• • • another 'Roots'
by Bob Waite

of The TORCH
With family spread clear across the
U.S., reaching up into Canada and
spanning four centuries in Norway, he
confronted a mammoth task. But five
years of research and discovery Lwe
paid o.ff in the form of "Reunion: East
O' the Sun.''
LCC Head Librarian Del Matheson
says that the recent "Roots fever" did
not inspire him to trace his maternal
geneology, which is currently on
display in the LCC library.
"I was always fascinated with the
old family albu111s,'' Matheson explains. As a young boy he leafed
through the albums asking his parents
who the people were. But he didn't
always get answers.
'' In 1973 I still had the curiosity but
not much more knowledge,'' continues
Matheson. "So I started writing letters
to known relatives.''
The distant relatives told him of
other distant relatives. The project
began to snowball and while he
corresponded and kep copious notes
his wife became an • understanding
'' geneology widow.''
•
Matheson got additional information
from the Eugene Genealogy Library
which has Norwegian church and
census records dating back to the
1600s. Talking with fellow members of
the Eugene Sons of Norway also
helped. But his biggest break came
when an aunt in California showed him

an old family diary.
.
"On the back page of this diary was
a scratchy note giving a man's first
name, a farm name and a town in
Norway."
Matheson sent a registered letter to
the man named Ole in Norway and
learned .that he had emigratea to the
U.S. in 1948 and has a son now living
in Beaverton, Oregon.
Through Ole, via the little note in
the back of the diary, Matheson made
contact with a full half of his family.
'' After about two years of digging I
was so caught up in it . . . I felt that it
would be ridiculous not to share this
. information with other relatives."
At that point he decided to write a
small book rather than simply •chart
the family line. In 1973 he went to
Norway for first-hand information.
The first chapter offers a brief
historical account and goes beyond the
realm of a literary "home movie."
Several libraries have requested a
copy of "Reunion: East O' the Sun," ,
notably those of Sanford and Harvard.
Matheson' s book is available at the
LCC library and the display detailing
the book's progress can be seen at the
library until the end of May.
Is Matheson tired after five years of
research plus hours of typing, layout
and paste-up? "No," he smiles. "As a
matter of fact I am currently completing the research on my father's side.
In May I'll be returning to Norway to
snoop some more.''

Local police agencies
offer 7 scholarships
The Eugene Police Department is participating in a federally-funded program to
attract and train ethnic minorities and
women in police work.
LCC Social Science instructor John
Kocher said, "The Minority Education and
Assistance Program (MECA) is open to all
ethnic minorities and women (21 years old
by July 31, 1981) who have completed 90
credit hours and meet requirements to the
University of Oregon."
Kocher is <;m leave this term enabling
him to work with the Eugene Police
Department in coordinating the project.
Kooher said the applicants will be
screened just as are recruited police
officers. Seven successful applicants will
receive scholarships for books and tuition
at the University of Oregon for the final two
years of education. In addition, the

students will work for pay at one of Lane
County's police agencies during the summers of 1979 and 1980. Kocher adds they
must also work 20 hours a week with one of
the participating police agencies ·while
attending the U of 0. He said, "The
students will be expected to hold a 2.0
grade-point average and enroll in a
minimum of 15 credit hours a term, on the
average."
After receiving a bachelor of arts degree
in June of 1981, they will be sent to the
Oregon Police Academy and then be
employed by one of the police agencies in
the cities of Eugene, Springfield and
Cottage Grove or with the Lane County
Sheriff's Office.
Applications can be obtained at the City
of Eugene personnel office at 750 Willamette Street.

Tuning into the nature of_plants
It's a safe bet that the
115 students in Mar- .
ston's Edible and
Poisonous Plants of the
Northwest class have
been thinking about
plants more than usual
lately.
Marston's biggest
concern about the class
is the potential risk
which is generated by
students consuming
wild food. Since the
class deals with both
edible and poisonous
species of plants, there
is a possibility of
students confusing a
safe plant with one that
is dangerous.
Jn the six years that
the class has been
taught at LCC, how~
ever, there have been
no accidents in the
classroom.
But Marston says
that over the years a
couple of students have
eaten dangerous plants
on their own and medical action was necessary.
He cautions students

''A lot ofpeople have never been tuned in
to plants at all, which I find kind ofamazing. But
when I look back on my younger years, I didn't·
pay much attention to plants," admits jay
Marston.''Now I can't go anywhere without plants
playing a big part of what I do."

not to eat anything that
they cannot positively
identify.
"It's a risk," says
Marston, "that is far
outweighed by the
value of a group of
students learning about
the environment in
which they live. That's
the biggest value of this
course - people being
able to walk through
the woods and say,
'Hey, I know that and I
know that and I know
that,' And all of a
sudden, they treat the
woods differently than
they've ever treated the
woods before.''

Jay Marston (above) lectures on how to put an herbarium (dried plant collection)
together and advises against picking Frittllaria lanceoiata (Rice Root Lily) , pictured

Record reviews: Ritenour, Menuhin/ GrajJpell4 Metheney, The Writers
Review by Michael Tenn
of The TORCH

Tea for Two
Tea for Two is a unique collection of
tunes from the 1920s and '30s played

drummer Ronnie Verrell, bassist
Pier.re Michelot and pianist Laurie
Holloway. A woodwind ensemble is
also used.
.
This fine album features standards
like "My Funny Valentine" and
''Limehouse Blues,'' as well as two
Grappelli originals. The title cut, ''Tea
for Two," is ... Well it's the only time
I've ever heard that tune and liked it.
Tea for Two is available on the
Angel label.

The Captain's Journey

'

by virtuoso violinists Yehudi Menuhin
and Stephane Grappelli.
Menuhin has long been known for
his classical violin playing, while
Grappelli is probably better known in
jazz circles, having spent the early part
of his career with French guitarist
Django Rinehardt.
The playing of both violinists is
totally relaxed and confident on this
album. Grappelli sounds as though
he's been playing these tunes all his
life - which he has - and Menuhin
swings through the jazz changes as
easily as you can say vi, ii, V, I.
Grappelli and Menuhin are backed
by an excellent band including guitarists John Etheridge and Jan Blok,

The Captain's Journey, on the
Elektra label, is the latest offering by
guitarist Lee Rftenour.
The album follows the successful
formula of Ritenour' s previous albums
- six instrumental tunes of hot fusion
music (more rock than jazz) and one
vocal tune, sung by Bill Champlin.
Ritenour penned four of the tunes.
The other three were written by his pal

and pianist Dave Grusin.
Most of the musicians on this album
have recorded with Ritenour before.
Steve Gadd plays drums, Jay Graydon
and Mitch Holder play second guitars,
Abraham Laboriel and Anthony Jackson trade off on bass. A host of other
players also are heard on this album.
As you might expect if you've
listened to Ritenour before, the tunes
all have an incredibly busy texture and
you'll hear something new with every
listening.
The tunes range from the catchy
"Matchmakers" and weather reportish "What Do You Want?" to the
mellow "Etude" which features classicall guitar and flute.
The more I play this album, the
more I like it. I think it's definitely
worth a listen - and don't forget to
turn the volume up.

New Chautauqua is a new Columbia
Records release by guitarist/composer
Pat Metheney.
This is a solo album featuring
Metheney playing acoustic and electric
six- and 12-string guitars and electric
bass. ·
The compositions, all by Metheney,
are quiet and introspective. Most of
the tunes consist of electric guitar
melodies laid over a track of acoustic
guitar and a simple bass line.
Much of the album sounds like some
guy noodling around with a guitar and
a tape recorder.
Either that, or it's an esoteric artist
plunging into his psychic depths to

includes, among others, Michael and

It looks like an all-star line up.
Unfortunately, this album is a sad

The tunes consist of quickly and

sappy lyrics ansf abrasive arrangements.
The best tune on the album is the

It-,s a safe bet· that The Writers will

Tennis teaillS shut down Linn-Benton
by Kathy Marrow
of The TORCH

The Titan men's and women's tennis
teams shut out Linn-Benton Community
College (LBCC) 6-0 and 7-0 April 24 to
climax a grueling week of tennis.
Steve Bolstad, Scott Cohn and Ken
Newman registered singles shutouts for
the men. Motivation ran low among the
Titan netmen. According to Jason Metz,
"Linn-Benton was an easy match."
Metz, along with Gary Lott, soundly
defeated their doubles opponents Ken
Dosch and Dennis Atchisson of LBCC 6-1,
6-1.
"We aced them 12 times straight (a
non-returned serve)," comments Metz.
"That's pretty bad."
The women, led by Kathy Berry and Judi
Stack, proceeded to stifle their LinnBenton opponents by a score of 7-0.
Berry upset her singles opponent Mary
Reid 6-3, 6-0, followed by Stack who
stunned her competition with a solid 6-1,
6-2 victory. Peggy Gangle, a returning ·
veteran, outclassed her opponent Molly
•
Moffman, 6-0, 6-0.
On April 22, the Oregon Ducks managed
a one-match triumph over the Lane
women, 5-4.
Number one seeded Kathy Berry narrowly defeated her singles opponent Sheryl
Anderson 6-3, 5-7, 7-5. Liz Firmage fell to
Lane's number two seeded Judi Stack 6-2,
6-3.
The women's doubles competition was
fairly slow with Berry and Stack winning
by forfeit, while Peggy Gangle and Kathi
Gierau were shut down by their Duck
opponents 6-2, 6-0.

The loss to the Ducks was Lane's first
defeat in intercollegiate competition this
year. The women's record is now 6-1.
Hosting Oregon College of Education
(OCE) on April 21, the men and women
both came through victorious, the men
winning 5-4 and the women winning 7-2.
"Peggy Gangle has improved a lot since
the start of the year,'' explains Coach Don
Wilson. "She has much more confidence."
Against OCE, the women won every
singles event and lost only two doubles
contests.
, "We have a lot more hustle, and good
depth," explains Wilson. "Their is a lot of
positive feeling among the team. It really
helps."
Didn't find victory as easily as the
women had. Doubles partners Steve Bolstad and Scott Cohn edged their OCE
opponents in three sets 5-7, 6-3 and 6-2.
In singles action, Bolstad stayed on top,
nipping Chuck Brown (OCE) 3-6, 6-3 and
6-1.
The men are now 6-3 in intercollegiate
•
play.
Traveling to Coos Bay to meet Southwestern Oregon Community College, the
men came home with a 5-1 win, and the
women shut out SWOCC 4-0.

Jason Metz [pictured] and Gary Lott soundly defeated Linn-Benton opponents 6-1,
6-1 on April 24. Metz and Lott are undefeated as a doubles team.

Judi Stack had an easy time with her
SWOCC opponent winning 6-1, 6-3. Kathi
Berry had some difficulty but poured on
the momentum in the third set to win 6-4,
1-6 and 6-0.
In men's doubles action, Metz and Lott
ove_rtook opponents Terry Baxter and Ji~
Brookings in two sets, 7-5, 6-3 for what
Coach Wilson called ''the best match of the
whole team.''

Lane Women place 4th

by Ed Peters
of The TORCH

Led by first-place finishes in the high
jump and the sprint medley the LCC
women's track and field team placed fourth
in the 15-team Mt. Hood relays held April
21 at Gresham.
"According .to Women's Track Coach
Mike Manley, there were a number of meet
records and personal bests set by Lane
athletes.
The Titan firsts came off a S '4'' high
jump by Liz Jones (tying a school record
Jones set the week earlier) and a 1:52.00 in
the sprint medley, which set an LCC
record, a Mt. Hood Relay Meet record and
qualified Lane for the National Junior
College Association (NJCAA) in the sprint
medley. The Lane women edged out
second-place Central Oregon, 1:54.36, by
2.36 seconds in the race.
"I am very pleased with them; the
women are improving," said Manley. "We
had an excellent performance in the sprint
medley.''
In the 400-meter relay the Titan women
set a new LCC record with a time of 50.92
and qualified the team for the NJCAA
championships.
The sprint medley and 400-meter relay
team consists of Jill Lanham, Liz Jones, Liz
Grzelewski and Vicki Graves.
" Our team this year (10 women) has
more depth than last year's squad (six
women)," states Manley, "and next year I

,,_.

expect even more women to come out for
track."
In the team standings the Lane women
finished in fourth place with 40 points just one point back of Mt. Hood's 41. On
April 27 Mt. Hood and Lane wi11 lock horns
again in a five-way meet at LCC at 3 p.m.
"We plan to whop them this time,"
explained Manley.
The Mt. Hood results are:

Thinclads 3rd in relays
by Ed Peten
Of The TORCH
Paced by a first-place finish in the 6,400meter relay and new school record in the
' distance medley the men's track and field
team placed third in the 15-team Mt. Hood
relays held in Gresham on April 21.
The distance medley team of Rich
Totten, Joe Cook, Dan Batty and Dave
Magness knocked 5.87 seconds off th~
school record set last year with a time of
10:09.33. A distance medley is a 4,000meter race which is broken down into legs
of 400, 800, 1,200 and 1,600 meters. Each
individual team member runs one leg of
the race with the lowest team time
winning.
"I am very pleased with the results of
the meet,'' said )'rack and Field Coach Al
Tarpenning. "We have shown considerable improvement since our last relay meet
on March 31."
Since the Oregon Community College
Athletic (OCCAA) relays on March 31 the
Titan men have improved in every event
they have entered. In the relays the men

have shaved between two and 13 seconcts
off their 400, 1,600, 3,200 and distance
medley times.
In the field events Bill Bailey continues
to improve his distances in the shot put and
discus, and freshman javelin thrower Rich
Wolf threw 208'10" which is 7'6" further
than his throw in the OCCAA relay meet on
March 31.
In the 400-meter relay the Titan team of
Scott Branchfield, Dave Hills, Joe Higgins
and Charles Warren turned in the best 400
relay of this season with a time of 43.39
edging out Linn-Benton who finished with
a 43.97.
"We had a number of great performances in the meet," stated Tarpenning.
''We set one school record (distance
medley) and came very close on a number
of other events."
According to Tarpenning, the Mt. Hood
C. C. team will be a tough team to beat
when it comes into the OCCAA next
year. Mt. Hood is currently participating in
a Washington area conference. Mt. Hood
travels to LCC to face the Titans in a
five-way meet on April at 3 p.m.

•Hardb allers captur e two
from Judson Baptis t C.C.
by Ed Peters
of The TORCH
Righthand reliever Chuck Cook entered
the game in the bottom of the first inning
and struck out nine batters leading the
Titans to an 8-7 victory which completed a
sweep of a doubleheader from Judson
Baptist on March 21.
"Our biggest problem right now is
inconsistent pitching,'' explained Coach
Bob Foster. "Our team seems to pivot
around our pitching."
In the first game Lane crushed Judson
Baptist 13-0 as Marty Max hurled a threehitter and catcher Kevin Castor drove in
five runs with a home run and a single.
Max struck out eight Judson batters and
did not give up any bases on balls.
Lane's 13-hit attack was led by Curt
Smith who went three for four at the plate ..
with Fritz Pippin and Wade Witherspoon
contributing two hits each.
In the second game the Titans took
advantage of several Judson Baptist errors
to jump to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first
inning. Judson came to life in the bottom of
the first inmng scoring seven runs off
starter Keith Livesay before reliever Chuck
Cook came in to shut down the Judson
offense. A determined Lane team whittled
away at the Judson lead and finally tied the
game in the top of the seventh inning at
seven. Cook blanked Judson in the hottom
of seventh and eighth and a Titan run in the
top ot the eighth inning clinched the win.
"Our pitchers continue to improve,"
said Foster. "(Eric) Stack, (Jack) Glaze and
(Dean) Hummel are all throwing the ball
well."
