Food fight over
cafeteria fare:
Prank or protest
HUNTINGTON, WV (CPS) -- Cafeteria
personnel say it's just a weak explanation
for a wild melee, but students now claim
that a September 18 food fight at a
Marshall University dorm was a planned
protest against the quality of cafeteria fare.
''It kind of built up,'' dorm resident Beth

Aquino told the Parthenon, the student
paper. "There were rumors that there was
going to be a food fight. Then it started
with people throwing stuff across the table
at each other, and then it spread until
about 75 people were throwing food."
The food fight continued for about 30
minutes, when some participants were
tagged for disciplinary action and others
just gave up. Since then students threatened with disciplinary action have announced
the food fight was a protest.
"We'll throw what we can't eat," read
an anonymous letter to Ron Vang, interim
cafeteria director at the Twin Towers dorm.
Some food service personnel, though,
maintain the food fight was nothing more
than a standard, apolitical, purposeless
cafeteria riot.
"I do not think it was my food or
cooking," opines cook James Tennant. "It
is too early in the year for them to be sick of
the food already. If it was later in the year,
I might say yes."

The cafeteria boycott that almost was, isn't.
After t~o discussions with LCC Food Services Manager Bob
Tegge, the ASLCC (student union) has called off a planned boycott
to protest recent food price increases.
In its Oct. 9 meeting, the student union met with Tegge and Jay
Jones, director of student activities, before making the final no-go
decision. Last week, in an unannounced meeting, the ASLCC
postponed the schedule boycott from Oct. 9 to Oct. 22, to give
them time to gather pertinent information for presentation to the
LCC Board of Education in its Oct. 17 meeting.
"This issue can be long and drawn out and really tedious,"
explained Debi Lance, ASLCC president, during the Oct. 9
meeting. "But I want to get these problems solved."
Both Jones and Tegge seemed equally anxious to find a
solution. But while Tegge cited wholesale cost percentage
increase justifying the "over the counter" price hikes, Jones said
he wanted to "get to the bottom line -- just talk facts."
And, according to Jones, "Fact number one is that the price of

wholesale foods is up. The last figure we saw showed an increase
of 14 percent." According to Tegge, only 9.3 percent of this is
being passed on to the cafeteria's consumers.
"Fact two," Jones continued, "is that the upward trend of
prices is not going to stop here. Fact three is that those increases
have to be absorbed," meaning that students and staff members
buying food and beverages at the college will pay more to off-set
Tegge's increased costs.
Finally, Jones concluded, "Fact four is that a boycott will not
reduce prices. But," he warned, "it may effectively serve to close
the Food Services -- which is the same effect lowering the prices
would have."
According to Jones' figures, the price increases -- which Tegge
says are 9.3 percent overall -- have not in any way reduced
consumption in the cafeteria this fall. Last year at this time, Jones
says, 4,100 to 4,600 people per day were eating meals there. This
year the daily total is between 5,100 and 5,900.
"(Food Services) makes it on volume to keep the prices down,"
Jones explained.

When Karen Lansdowne and her
husband, Paul, trade homes with
other families the scenery and problems are exchanged as well.
Although they've tried several
times, they've succeeded only twice
in the past 10 years to work out the
various problems of exchanging
homes with an unfamiliar family.
"More (exchanges) have fallen
through than we actually manage to
get," admits Karen, a language arts
instructor at LCC.

House
swaps

She tries to arrange her vacation
during the summer months when
school is not in session. But the
Lansdownes encounter so many difficulties while planning their somewhat unconventional travel accommodations that they are often forced
to take a "normal vacation."
Though working out the details can
be complex, the process is very
simple, according to Karen.
By subscribing to a monthly publication which provides a coded
description of houses -- listing the
owner, telephone number, address,
·and specific vacation days of a
particular family -- the Lansdownes
can write to a tam ily whose vacation
plans coincide with theirs.

"It can be very difficult to hit just
the right time for the exchange -that's the hardest part." But Karen
says the families are like penpals,
and she finds out things about people
whom she has never met before. '' It
usually takes three or four letters to
actually get something arranged."
Karen has tried to arrange several
exchanges with European families,
all of which have fallen through. But

through the letters, which she claims
is "the best part," Karen has
detected some interesting contrasts
between cultures. For example,
"They (Europeans) can't believe we
have so much space in our houses
because most of their housing is
vertical," she explains. "They
equate lots of space with luxury."
Karen claims that the small space

the crisis?
Well, the Cuban crisis is over. We have
captured a Russian troop.
His name is Private Ivan Ivanovich. Two
intrepid CIA men in a rowboat, disguised
as members of the Harvard crew, seized
him when he water-skied too close to Key
Biscayne.
Private Ivanovich, who said he was
'' sore about serving 17 years on that lousy
island without making corporal,'' immediately agreed to defect and tell all in
return for a small pension and free ballet
lessons.
He was taken directly to the White
House where an emergency Cabinet meeting was called. The President, himself,
asked the key question:
"Tell me, Private Ivanovich," said the
President, "what kind of troop are you?"
A hush fell over the room. SALT II and
the very future of the human race hung on
the answer. There were 3,000 Russian
combat troops in Cuba. They had us
surrounded. If they stormed ashore, they
would underwhelm us overnight by undernumbering us one to 70,000.
Moscow, on the other hand, claimed
they were merely training troops and
therefore posed no threat to us whatsoever.
"You might as well know the truth,"
said Private Ivanovich. "I and my 2999
former comrades are training troops."
"Just a minute," said the National
Security Advisor. "You sure looked like
combat troops to us.''
"That's because we were disguised as
combat troops," said the private. "And,
boy, did I ever get tired of having to lace up
those dumb boots every night and swagger
into some sweaty cantina singing, 'From
the halls of Mount Troika to the shores of
Samovar.'''
''You mean the Kremlin wanted us to
believe you were combat troops and not
training troops?" the President said incredulously.
"Naturally," said the private. "They
figured 3000 combat troops wouldn't alarm
you. Who were we going to fight, the
Cubans? All combat troops do is march
around in circles and drive their tanks
through the cane fields, making the
farmers mad. But don't look at me. I never
saw a combat in my life.''
'' And all the time you were merely
training troops?'' said the Secretary of
State.
• ''Good Grief!'' exclaimed the President.
"We have fallen into a trap set by the
masterminds of the Kremlin. Is there no
way out?''
"In this hour of crisis, sir," said the
National Security Advisor grimly, ''we
have no choice but to invoke the Monroe
Doctrine and demand the Soviets replace
their 3000 training troops with 3000 combat
troops."
"But will Moscow agree?" asked the
President.
''If they refuse to send combat troops
into our hemisphere," said the National
Security Advisor, ''we'll threaten them
with nuclear annihilation.''
"Brilliant!" cried the President. "The
crisis is over. What do you think of that,
Private Ivanovich?"
"I think," said the private, "that I wish
.I'd made cor_poral."

tions lacks discretion. Reading this part of
the series wilJ not make it easier for victims
to seek help.

'Lacks discretion'
While I applaud Sarah Jenkins' attempt
to inform about incest, in her four-part
series in The TORCH, I am appalled that
"who is to blame . . . " is the victim's
mother. I am very tired of being told by
expert opinion that any woman plays any
major part (tho . . . unconscious) in irresponsible, criminal behavior done by a
man.
When will mothers, wives and daughters
stop being blamed for the infantile, violent
sexual development exhibited by normal
and abnormal males of our culture?
Put the blame for incest where it
belongs, Sarah, on the shoulders of who
did it. Even two-year-olds in our culture ,
must maintain responsibility for what they
do. I have counseled rape and incest
victims and I feel a major step foreward
would be for women to begin to let men
take total responsibility for what they do.
Women have to let men grow up, and
quit trying to implicate the nearest woman
when men exhibit uncivifized behavior. To
implicate a mother in the rape of her
daughter, by her daughter's father, is an
old approach that no longer works.
For a mother to say that she failed in
communications with her husband and that
fostered his sexual contact with his
seven-year-old daughter -- and for you to
give this guilt produced idea credibility is
unspeakably naive.
_
Then when Susan Forward says that
religious beliefs that thwart sexual contact
outside marriage lead to incest motivation,
I am again baffled. Most religious beliefs
also condemn incest. In the second article I feel your printing
of Richar<l's quoted excuses and explaina-

Student Inusic?
How nice to walk out of an ultra
laborious sleep inducing classroom into the
beautiful sunshine and find a rock .and roll
band playing to the student body. How
really nice. That's what I thought as I lay
and listened on the lawn between classes.
A good way to show new students at LCC
that school isn't all work and no fun. I
agree.
- Then I was told, by an unofficial source,
that the hour of music played by Gemini
cost the student body fund $500.
It's hard enough to be a musician in
Eugene and have to play for dirt cheap
always and no pay often, without being
betrayed, lets say neglected rather, by our
own school. We might like to play for our
fellow students. I would venture to think
that they would enjoy seeing their friends
, up playing more than a group of unknowns
from the coast.

I suggest that the next time the fund is
large enough to afford this sort of activity
these folks get over td the Performing Arts
Department and ask the instructors and the
students who would like to play for the
school. The fact is you might be surprised.
Another fact is it might be just the
corrective steps you'll need to take to make
some sort of apology to the music students,
many of whom share this attitude.

News analysis by
Charlotte Hall and Lucy White
of The TORCH
EDITOR'S NOTE: In the second of a series
of articles on LCC's capital outlay fund
budget for 1979-80, TORCH reporters have
compiled a break-down of monies to be
spent by the Office of Instruction.
In subsequent stories, Student Services,
the President's Complex, and Administrative Services capital outlay budgets will be
detailed .
LCC' s 1979-80 budget includes one of
the largest capital outlay funds ever
approved -- $400,000 -- for a normal
operations year.
The Board of Education approved the
general fund budget of almost Sl 9.2
million on June 27. On Sept. 12 the board
accepted spending $300,000 of the capital
outlay funds w)lile holding back $100,000
as a ''contingency.''
The capital outlay money allocated to the
Office of Instruction for the current year is
$203 ,523. Of that amount $100,000 is
currently being withheld until other fiscal
concerns are worked out, according to

Approximately $87,000 of that will be available for later use by the Office of
Instruction and its divisions that can prove
further need. And at least $10,000 will be
The Office Of
held in contiquency.
Instruction itself will ''probably use'' about
$3,000.
When asked if the $203,523 allocated to
his department was a sufficient amount of
money Rasmussen replied, "This brings us
back to a level of support that is required to
provide a good instruction program."
But, he adds, "At the same time my
colleagues all over the school would be
quick to point out that we could ... justify
twice that (amount) because, the uncomfortable fact right now,'' Rasmussen
explains, "is that we do not have adequate
equipment replacement programs in any of
our vocational training programs."
Rasmussen gave the following system
his office uses to develop the capital outlay
budget:
First Rasmussen receives prioritized
recommendations for expenditures from
the four associate deans of the divisions in
the Office of Instruction: Division 1 and
Division A (both instructional); the Division of Instructional Services, and the
Division of Community Education.
Rasmussen reveiws the recommendations from these areas, and makes his own
remarks before sending them to the
president, and ultimately to the Board of
Education for approval of the actual
expenditures.

allocations for each division are their

would not be an imposition for her.
''You don't need a huge master
bedroom to be able to enjoy a month
or so (on vacation).
One woman from Rhodesia wrote
to Karen after already returning from
a vacation in Europe. She just wanted
to inform the Lansdownes that no
exchange would be possible at that
time. But the woman invited them to
come to her home anyway, since it
was very large, an.d stay as her
guests. '' I would be on hand to advise
you of the numerous and inexpensive
tours and trips around Rhodesia,
possibly even Mozambique and
South Africa,'' but the timing was
wrong so the Lansdownes didn't take
advantage of the generous offer.
Karen claims that ''there is no
attempt to make the houses in the
exchange equal. It's just a matter of
what you'll accept." The purpose of
the exchange is to allow a family to
have all the comforts of home while
on vacation.
In fact, some families entrust the
''visitors'' with expensive benefits
such as cars, · chauffeur:s, maids,
boats or even furniture.
A family from London, Or.tario, for
example, exchanged homes with
Lansdownes one summer and allow- •
ed them to use the furniture.
"When we first got to the place in
Canada we decided to arrange the
chairs differently. So we moved one
of the lamps," The family had
acquired the lamp from an architect
in Japan, and it was obviously
irreplaceable. Continuing slowly she
adds, "It had a Chinese paper shade
we
it
on it. And in moving
thought that we had punched a hole
in th is very lovely shade with the
base of the lamp.''
But after notifying the family, says
Karen with a smile of relief, it was
reassuring to find out that the lamp
had been .damaged prior to the
exchange. "I guess we just go on
trust that if something gets broken
that the (visiting family) will replace
it.''

Karen says that many of the
families are considerate enough to
leave tickets to plays, phone numbers
of plumbers and doctors, and publications listing things to see around
town.
Being helped so much prior to their
arrival made "it almost like being a
member of the community," Karen
recalls suddenly remembering a
publication left for them by the family
from Ontario. The magazine described a special park complete with
a mysterious bog.

"(The bog) looks firm and has
moss all over it. And it looks as if you
can walk on it.
··But we put a pole into it and the •
pole went down about 20 fee~."
Talking much faster now and with
obvious excitement Karen continues,
"It's like a swamp. They have
pre-historic animals down in the
bottom of that bog. And big trees
growing out so \hat it looks just as if
you're going through the woods.
But," she concedes, "if you step off
the path they have created you would
sink away into nothing."
Karen proudly admits that her love
of Shakespeare has a part in dictating
where she spends her vacation. "One
of the reasons we really wanted to go
to London, Ontario, is that they have
a wonderful Shakespeare theatre
cal led The Statford Theatre. They do
fantastic productions," she declares
loudly. "It's probably the best known
in Canada and equivilent to the
(Shakespearean theatre) in Ashland."
But it's not only Shakespeare that
intervenes with the Lansdownes'
home exchange program. Karen, an

Boycott

instructor of literature and writing
admits that when they exchanged
homes in London, Ontario, "We
spent quite a bit of time on the East
Coast so that I could look at the
homes of early American authors,
and have access to original resource
materials.''
The Lansdownes became so fond of
Canada that they forfeited an exchange which had been arranged
with a family from New York. But the
family was permitted to use Lansdowne's house in Eugene while they
continued their stay in Canada. "We
didn't ever get to their house,"
remembers Karen. '' But they said
they owed us one.
''That was the most difficult exchange as far as working out the
details," says Karen. "They were
orthodox Jews so they couldn't eat on
dishes that had been used for both
fish and meat, which of course ours
had."
And the Jewish family could only
eat kosher products so ''they had to
buy all their meat from Portland and
run around to al I the various specialty
shops that had kosher foods in order

Student government officers were concerned that the college -- and the students
-- are getting their money's worth from
Mannings, Inc., the company that is
contracted for the cafeteria operation.
Tegge has stated that Mannings receives
3.5 percent of the gross revenue from food
sales up to $400,000 and 2.5 percent of the
gross above that. Figuring on last year's
gross -- $573,000 -- that means Mannings '
share was $18,325. '' Just what does that
money buy us?" asked one student.
Tegge, who as a Mannings' employee
admitted to being a "company man," let
Jones answer the question.
''(The college) gets purchasing power
(through Mannings' discounts), recipe
cards, a replacement manager if necessary
and expertise in operations," Jones explained. "And that security -- that Bob
Tegge knows what he's doing -- is worth an
awful lot.''
Bob Hoffman, the instigator of the
boycctt petition which collected 804 signatures, was not present for the discussion.
But apparently the ASLCC had heard all
it needed to. "I made the (original) motion
on supporting this boycott," student

senator Richard McCord said. "But after
what I've heard this week and last (at
ASLCC meetings), I can no longer support
this boycott."
The other student union officials agreed,
unanimously approving McCord's motion
to rescind the ASLCC's official support of
both the petition and the scheduled
boycott.

Free films slated
A free showing of environmental films is
scheduled for Friday, Oct. 12, under
sponsorship of the ASLCC.
The films and their subjects include:
Project Salt Vault, radiation, disposal
methods for radioactive wastes; Once
There Was a World, population and
overpopulation; Visit to a Small Village;
Ghanan attempts to improve village conditions; Pandora's Easy-open Pop-top Box,
urban health conditions; Basic Principles of
Power reactors, energy, and fission reactors.
The films will be shown in Forum 307,

family was able to compensate for the
inconvenience.
Another family stayed in the
Lansdownes house in Eugene and
didn't have any difficulties at all,
says Karen. The family said it was
just incredible. "They couldn't
believe how friendly the people in
Eugene were," recalls Karen. The
family was surprised that the people
in the grocery story would talk to
them. "Evidently that's quite different (for them)."
Karen admits ''they were suspicious at first but they learned that
that is just the way people are in
Eugene.''
"I certainly wouldn't think everyones exchange would work out as
well as ours has,'' Karen speculates.
It could be really scary, all kinds of
things could go wrong."

of The TORCH

Each ticket sold to the Oct. 20 "LCC
Goes to the Movies" benefit brings the
LCC Development Fund that much closer
to their desired goal of $100,000.
The evening features Ginger Rogers as
special guest star, and includes a preperformance cocktail party, champagne
reception, theater, and after-theater supper followed by Big Band music and
dancing.
So far, the Development Fund reports
benefit responses totalling $40,000, according to Dottie Chase, co-chairperson of
the Development Fund.
The money that the Development Fund
raises helps to provide for those needs that
the college cannot afford within its present
budget.
Lyle Swetland, Development Fund director and coordinator, points out that the
Development Fund is a non-profit corporation separate from the college and has its
own board of trustees.

But he stresses that it was created by the
college, and that its reason for existence is
to help the college.
"In fact," concludes Swetland, "that is
always our bottom line in criterion decision
making.''

Twice yearly the Development Fund
requests idea papers for grants of up to
$1,000, from LCC staff and recognized
student organizations such as Phi Beta
Kappa, the Native Americans, the TORCH
and so on.

At last, Encare.®

Neat, compact, no bigger than your
fingertip , Encare is fast becoming
the most talked about contraceptive
we have today.
Free from hormonal side effects,
Encare is available without a
prescription. And it might well be
the easiest method of birth control
you will ever use.

Simply simple.

You simply insert Encare with the
tip of your finger. There's no iffy
measuring, no tubes, no applicators.
And no messy paraphernalia to

Many of the contributions they receive
from individuals are "earmarked" for a
particular program. Either they have been
in the program themselves and liked it, or
their son or daughter has.
One woman set up a loan fund for LCC's
nursing program in memory of her mother,
who had, before she died, expressed
gratitude and appreciation for the special
treatment she had received from an LCC
nursing graduate, Swetland recalls.
The fund has received contributions in
the form of bequests, gifts of land, and
on endowments that people
interest
have set up. Individuals have also made
the fund the beneficiary of their insurance
policies. "We have even gotten checks in
the mail from students that have already
paid off their emergency loans, but have
sent in additional money so that other
students could be helped as they had
been,'' adds Swetland.
Businesses have also provided money in
the form of scholarships to promote the
training of students in a particular program.

clean up afterward. Each tiny insert
contains an exact, premeasured
amount of the clinically proven
spermicide, nonoxynol 9.

Simply effective.

Swetland emphasizes that all individuals or groups who contribute either money
or gifts to the Development Fund have the
opportunity to designate precisely how
they want their donations spent.
This also applies to LCC staff members
who can designate that the money from
their benefit tickets -- say, a $500 Star
ticket -- be used within their own
department.
Undesignated funds are pooled and
dispersed by the Development Fund's
Board of Trustees, to finance "idea ·
papers" Qr deal with unexpected emergencies. Some of the money might be spent
on such items as:
• Personal emergencies. If a student
needs immediate financial help, in case of
family tragedy or similar situations.
• Curriculum purposes. For example, in
the last three years the fund has purchased
two cardio-pulmonary mannequins at over
$1,000 a piece for CPR students.
• Travel expenses. Last year, for
example, the fund provided air-fare for
a journalism student to attend a national
journalism conference.

about Encare , you'll be reassured to
hear that Encare cannot harm your

be worried about those

A 'captive' audience?

Band goes behind bars
by Carla Schwartz
of The TORCH

Gary Morgan's first impression of
Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem may
well be a lasting one. Morgan and his
"good time rock and roll band" -· Tony
Sardini and the Waste Banned -- volunteered to entertain the inmates on Sept. 8.
Morgan believes that playing music for
people in that type of situation is a
tremendous learning experience, and encourages other musicians to consider
donating their time and talents to the
inmates of Oregon State Penitentiary in
Salem.
''The overall vibe was an intense,
encompassing control. You can feel the
power when gates click behind you, the
way your show is cut from an hour to
35-minute sets, the way the guards look at
you . . .
''They only allow one such performance
a month," according to Morgan, and he
added, "The authorities don't seek out
entertainment." Before they were given
the okay to play, thorough checks were run
on all band members and road crew to
ensure that none had ever been convicted
of a felony. Ex-felons are not allowed
inside the prison gates.
Beforehand, Morgan received a letter
from Gene Hall, music director at the
prison, setting the following guidelines for
the performers:
• You should not wear blue jeans or any
garment that resembles them in cut or
color.
• Do not bring alcohol or other drugs
into the institution. H you · must have
special medicine with you at all times, an
officer of the institution will carry it for
you.

• We-must search the equipment, and
all guests will be asked to empty their
pockets and will be scanned by modern
detectors.
• Please leave all valuables, such as
large sums of money and expensive jewelry
home.
• you will be under escort at all times
within the institution. Please do not go
• d b t ff
1
h
an>7W ere un e_ss acc~mpame Y s a .•
• Keep contacts with inmates to a
minimum.
As he was warned, when the band and
crew arrived at the prison gate Saturday,
two members of the party were asked to
change their pants •• blue jeans and
work-shirts. Everyone was checked for
drugs, and asked to walk through a metal
detector.
The visitors were escorted directly to a
small dressing room adjacent to the
cafeteria where the performance was to be
held. "We saw very few sights. It's a very
closed-mouth thing," confessed Morgan.
"The authorities didn't want us to see
anything,'' he speculates, ''no exercise
yards and no cell blocks. These areas were
strictly off limits."
Prisoners filed into the cafeteria five
minutes before showtime, and seated
themselves all the way up to the stage. Yet
there were no guards between the band
and the inmates.
Although the band was specifically
asked not to converse with the inmates, a
small group of prisoners came up on stage
after the show to talk with the band.
Most seemed to be musicians anxious to
hear about new playing techniques. "One
guy said he was up for parole in 1988. I just
didn't want to hear any more about that,"
Morgan admitte_d.

In the Oct. 6 SWOCC Invitational Meet,
the Titan women's cross country team
proved that they were ready to compete
and -- for the first time ever -- win.
By placing seven runners in the top 10
finishers, LCC won the meet with 20
points .
Southwest Oregon Community College,
Coos Bay, hosted the meet which included
competitors from LCC , Linn-Benton Community College, among others.
"LCC is serious about women's sports,"
says Mike Manley, LCC's women's track
and field coach, and this meet shows the
results. But, he adds, "We haven't
reached full strength as a team yet.''

a second place finish. Her time for the
5,000 meter run was 19:36.
Swenson was closely followed by former
Springfield star Sandy Dickerson. Dickerson placed third with a 19:42 time.
"Sandy might have done a lot better if
she hadn't run sick,'' said Manley. ''The
finish of the race could have been changed
by any number of reasons. If Nadine
(Lindsay) had run, we might have done
even better. You just can't tell."
Eeva Vedenoja placed fourth with a time
of 19:54.
Next, the Titans will travel to Albany to
face Linn-Benton, Southwestern Oregon,
UmP.qua and Judson Baptist on Friday.
Then they will go to Salem Saturday to
compete in the Willamette Invitational.
'' We have a lot of good runners in large
numbers," concluded Manley. " We

hut men win, too
by Sarah Jenkins

of The TORCH

While the Titan women were glorying in
their first ever team cross country win, a
"new group" of men also took top honors.
The men's team that won the Southwestern Oregon Community College
(SWOCC) Invitational Cross Country meet
Oct. 6 did not include Lane's top runners.
''We had an opportunity to let a new
group of men represent us,'' explains
Coach Al Tarpenning. It was also an
opportunity for the top runners to rest
before next weekends two meets.
'' Having a large number of athletes
gives them all an opportunity (to compete)," Tarpenning says.
And the team at the SWOCC meet, made
up mostly of first year competitors, proves
his point.

Dave Tieman, formerly of Elmira High
School, lead the Titan finishers with a
fourth place time of 26:29. Gordy Wiltshire
took a close fifth the 26:36.
Titan Jim Hayden came in eighth with a
time of 26:44. Right behind him was Lynn
Purdue, ninth with a time of 26:48.
The rest of the Lane team scorers were
Dave Krupicka (11th at 26:53), Rick Cleek
(12th at 26:53) and Steve Wolf (13th at
27:11).
The Titan men will also participate in
team competition in Albany and Salem on
Oct. 12-13.
They will compete against Linn-Benton,
SWOCC, Umpqua and Judson Baptist on
Friday.
Along with the women, they will travel to
Salem on Saturday for the Willamette
Invitational.

Ralph Carlson, vice president of Questor

Wall Street Journal that it is difficult to tell
how much sporting equipment is sold to
women's teams because "you don't offer

Women's sportswear is also changing.
Richard Geisler, president of Champion

With six exceptionally conditioned
athletes and 18 others participating in the
workouts, Coach Bob Creed looks forward

EDITOR 'S NOTE: This is the third
article of a four-part series about
incest. Last week, one Eugene family
talked about how the crime has
affected them ; this week legal authorities and counselors discuss the
problems of dealing with incest
within the framework of the enforcement and court system.

A 16-year-old- girl was held at
Skipworth Juvenile Hall for a week
last March after refusing to testify
against her father in a sexual abuse
case.
But the girl changed her mind after
being told by Lane County Circuit
Court Judge Erw in Allen that she
would rema in in custody until she
agreed to testify.
The case is believed to be the first
in Oregon in which the victim of a
crime has been held in contempt of
court and placed in custody for
ref using to testify about the crime.
And while public outcry about the
girl 's treatment was loud, local
off icials used to deal ing with sexual
abuse and incest cases d idn't seem
surprised. While they knew the legal
handling of such cases involved
difficult ies , before they had been
mainly hypothetical .
' 'The difference between incest
and other crimes,'' asserts Detective
Mike Whitney of the Eugene Police
Department, "is that in incest, the
victim loves the suspect."
That difference creates some huge
problems , according to Lane County
psychologists, social workers and law
enforcement officials.
There are two extremes as to how
those problems should be dealt with.
Lane County District Attorney Pat
Horton says flatly, "If a man sexually
abuses his daughter, we will prosecute to the fullest. If the mother has
complicity, we will do everything in
our power to take away her pare,ntal
rights ."
.
Bruce Campbell of the Christian
Family Institute in Eugene takes an
opposite stance. ''Castrating the
father and ostracizing the mother
doesn't help the child," he says,
''I'm not an offender-love r, but I
think there's a better way." •
Lane County Public Defender Robert Larson sums up the two competing interests: ''The state has a right
to enforce its laws, but the victim
should have a greater control of what
happens."
The majority of local authorities,
like Larson, take to the middle of the
road.
In Lane County, the current system
is a cooperation between the law
enforcement agencies and the Oregon State Children's Services Division. After a case of incest is
reported, a police officer and a CSD
caseworker together question family
members and work in fairly close
conjunction to almost always remove
the child from the home and arrest
the father.
Under Oregon law , charges stemming from incestuous abuse can
include rape , sodomy (which is
legally defined as " deviate 'sexual
intercourse " ), sexual abuse, contributing to the sexual delinquency of a
minor or sexual misconduct. Sentences can range from 30 days up to

20 years, with fines from $250 to
$2,500.
Whitney readily admits that from a
police officer's point of view, the
legal system is far from perfect in
dealing with all sex crimes. "We
cannot convict even with a confession," he explains. "A suspect can
admit he's guilty, but .according to
the court laws he can 't be found
guilty without a corroborative witness.''
And in the majority of cases, the
only corroborative witness is the
victim.
"Any time you're dealing with kids
as witnesses, it's difficult," Whitney
continues. ' 'They're frightened of
court and, in incest cases, the girl has
to sit there in the witness chair and
see her father sitting across the
room.
"But how can you make it less
traumatic without taking away all the
suspect's right? "
Some social workers think th'ay
•may have a solution. A San Jose,
Calif. program featuring "deferred
sentencing'' for the offender is a
prototype of helping all members of
the incestuous family. Begun by
Henry Giarretto in 1971, the Child
Sexual Abuse Treatment Program is
cited by many local experts as what
they would like to see in Eugene.

Horton discounts even that possibility. "How do you monitor an
offender at 2 in the morning?" he
asks. '' Do you just hope that the talk
you had with him yesterday in the
psychologist 's office is still on his
mind? My observation ," he concludes, "is that psychological counseling is a lot of hype.''
Campbell of Christian Family Institute believes strongly that there
must be some middle ground. "We
may say that these men should be
locked up and never let out,'' he
explains, "but in reality, they do get
out.''
Campbell says the average prison
term for all sexual child abuse
offenders is around five years.
''We know the legal system is
needed," he adds, "but we must be
realistic in dealing with the family.
Putting the man in jail is not the total
solution."
One possible answer might be a
special interagency incest team, possibly modeled after the Associated
Lane Inter-Agency Rape Team.
But neither Whitney nor Horton
see the need for such a team. "The
police departments and CSD work
together in these cases now," explains Whitney, "and the more
people who get involved in the
investigation , the more screwed up
it's going to be.''
Horton is just as blunt, "Until
those people can prove to me what an
ALI RT-type team could do that CSD,
the law enforcement agencies and the
D.A. 's office aren't doing, I'm not
interested," he says .

Again, it comes down to two sides
to the issue. "Offender treatment is
almost a missing link," claims Don
Pribus, Children's Services Division.
"It's a great need in this area.
Sometimes we are so horrified by the

Pat Horton
crime that we tend toward inhumane
treatment -- of the entire family."
Agreed , says Larson. "The legal
system does not have a perfect
solution to this problem -- or any
other problem. But," he counters ,
''the legal system doesn't solve social
problems -- we just deal with them."

The main concept of Giarretto's
program, deferred sentencing, enables the offender to begin intense
counseling rather than be convicted
and incarcerated immediately . A
crucial part of the program is family
and/ or marital counseiing in which
all family members play a part.
And Giarretto's program seems to
be working. There has been no
reoccurance of incest reported in
more than 250 specially screened
families who have received a minimum of 10 hours of treatment,
according to CSATP statistics. Also,
90 percent of the victims have
returned home within the first month
after disclosure, and most marriages
(about 90 percent) have remained
intact.
But not everyone is convinced.
"The idea of maintaining the family
and putting the child back into that
situation is untenable to me,'' declares Pat Horton.
Detective Whitney concurs. "The
whole key is protecting that child,
and if that means putting the guy in
jail , fine," he says. "At least for
that length of time, the child is
protected from him.".
Public Defender Larson, however,
sees the possible value of such a
program. " If it actually monitored
the offender and protected the family
-- without making .them just guinea
pigs for well-meanin g psychologists
-- it might work in limited situations, ' ' he explains, ''but I think you
have to be able to look at each victim
at each case.''
