Dear President : I, Joe Sikspak,
American , take pen in hand to pat your
back. You done the right thing when you
decided to say the hell with it and go out
campaipning .
The reason I say so, I was down to Paddy 's Place the other night. " Paddy," I
says, " give me a Seven-high and tell me
how come the president can bust his promise to stay in his Rose Garden spraying
aphids until the hostage crisis is over and
done with. ''
'' But it is over and done with for the
/ nonce, Joe ," says Paddy. " Than ks to the
president's bold and daring rescue mission, there's no way on God 's green earth
them Iranian crazies are going to release a
hostage until Jimmy's defeated for reelection.' '

" Maybe you got a point, Paddy, " says
I. '' But we still got lots of other problems.
Over at the plant, they 're talking lay-offs.' '
" Exactly, Joe. Like the president said ,
he 's taken care of 'a lot of the responsibilities ' that have been on his shoulders.
One is this recession. For three years , he's
been trying to bring in a recession and , by
golly , at last he ·s done it! "
" You think inflation 's going to be licked
by th is recession, Paddy?"
" No , r don 't, Joe. But I wouldn 't want
the president working any harder on the
problem than he has .' '
Well , what about the energy crisis
then , Paddy? He could do something about
that. ''
'' What energy crisis, Joe? When was
the last time you waited in line for gas? "
" About 50 cents a gallon ago. "
'' That 's right . But thanks to the president' s get-tough windfall profits tax , the oil
com panies ' windfall profits after taxes
have bgen hardly doubling lately."
1 don 't know , Paddy , There 's a lot of
othei crisises around .''

And the president's dealt with them
all , Joe. Do you realize there 'd be
thousands of Russian troops in
Afghanistan today if he hadn 't boycotted
the Olympics? SALT II, a final Middle East
peace treaty and six percent interest rates
would still be dreams if the president
hadn't done all he could. And, having done
all he could, he rightly figures he might as
well get out of the house and get some
fresh air."
" And that's the only reason he's decided to change his mind and go campaigning , Paddy?''
"Well , no, Joe. There's four others -New York, Connecticut , Pennsylvania and
1
Michigan .'

So believe me , president , I like the way
you handle problems: if you can 't lick 'em ,
leave 'em .
Only Paddy 's a little worried about that
part of your announcement where you said
you was going out campaigning so as you

Army ad name d
doub le sta-ndard
To the editor:
I could not believe my eyes when I looked through the last TORCH and saw that a
whole page had been devoted to an Army
advertisement. One sixteenth of the paper.
At a time where so many readers voice
their concern and criticism in every issue
about America heading for another war this
choice of advertisment seems to be in pretty poor taste, even hypocritical. I am sick
and tired of these double standards.
Whose side are you on, I won.der.
Martina Bennett
LCC student
EDITOR 'S NOTE:
A 1916 Oregon Attorney General's opinion stated
that a student newspaper's advertisments must be an
" open forum for the university community. " ,
Because of this and othet" court cases, The TORCH
cannot refuse ''editorial advertisements '' -- those
which explain an issue or offer a political statement.
But, more importantly, The TORCH is not on
anybody's side. Advertising content does not reflect
the opinions or judgements of the TORCH staff. We do
not give preferential treatment to ads which might
agree with us ; nor do we -- or will we -- ,ifuse ads
which might disagree with us.

Every vote counts
to pass budge t
To the editor:
Once again Lane is coming before us as
taxpayers to pass the new school budget. I
want to urge us all to vote in support of this
budget. Because its passage is essential to
the continuation of services arid instruction
presently offered at Lane.
Lane is in our hands. We have enough
voting age people on this campus to singly
pass or fail the budget. ·1 tell you this
because too often we like to pretend our
vote does not matter, but that just is not
true. Our votes count a lot, and it is up to
us to exercise our responsibility and
privilege to vote on May 20 for . Lane 's
budget as well as other issues on the
ballot.

Inter-campus mail
endorses offices
To the editor:
What an unfortunate occurance! A person who is an LCCEF union member
recently used inter-campus mail to endorse
three candidates for public political office .
Not only was campus mail used (abused),
but also access to the Union mailing list.
One must think that perhaps LCC typing
time, stationary, the print shop, staples ,
collating, and mailing time were also part
of the campaign.
Since I am a reasonable, intelligent adult
I do not want someone , no matter who they
are, telling me who they think I should vote
for, using such methods.
And since I am a dues-paying union
member, I wonder if I am to be afforded
that same right and the means to campaign
for the candidates o_t my choice.

Instructor strives for perfection
by Charlotte Hall
of The TORCH

''We produce Grade A students,'' boasts Freeman Rowe, an LCC
biology instructor, "and it's really exciting to see that."
Rowe is this year's recipient of LCC's Outstanding Instructor for 1980
Award. A committee composed of past recipients of the award, one student, one administrator, and two deans of the college selected Rowe from
among the nominations made by students, staff and faculty at LCC. The
LCC Board of Education will formally present Rowe with a plaque at the
May 14 meeting.
''Teaching is a highly individual profession,'' begins Rowe, attempting to explain the reason for the honor, "and each (instructor sets his or her)
own goals." Rowe claims his goal is to be the "perfect" teacher.
·'I will be a perfect teacher when 100 percent of my students score 100
percent on every exam and everybody gets an A (for th·e course). When I
have done that,·' he says hopefully, ''then I am a perfect teacher.'·
But, realistically, Rowe is not a "perfect" teacher -- not yet.
''Students always had several complaints about the way I taught,''
confesses Rowe. They charge him with talking and writing too fast during
his lectures. ''When you are lecturing,'' says Rowe recounting -the words
of a former student, ''you are talking so fast that there is no way I can
keep up with you. And you write too fast on the board,'' says the student,
"and so if I'm trying to take down notes -- and listen at the same time -. I'm about three _sentences behind and by the time I catch up," the student adds, "you' re way off on something else."
But Rowe assures that each year at LCC gets better.
A twelve-year veteran of LCC, Rowe has remodeled his classroom
strategies through the years to eliminate those problems most frequently
voiced by the students.
Rowe begins the class period by presenting a mini-lecture -- about 1O
minutes. Handing out pre-written questions, regarding the lecture, he
pauses, allowing time for the students to fill in the answers. Rowe then
provides his students with a set of correct answers to col}lpare with their
own.
Rowe's only teaching experience prior to LCC was as an instructor at
Toledo High School -- a small school near Newport, Oregon. Many of the
stude_nts stay at_Toledo even after graduating,,says Rowe. "It's a comfortable life," he explains. "Little struggle, you don't make many decisions,
everything is pretty clear cut for you and so there's not much tension. ·sut
it's interesting," he continues, "a lot of those kinds of people come to
Lane Community College -- i't's one of the reasons I like to work here.''
Rowe says he remembers .the days when the college was dubbed the
"Last Chance College"(LCC) because it wasn't considered a legitimate
institution by some. Though he believes the college name no longer carries negitive connotations he states, "For some people, perhaps, it is
their last chance. But fortunately," concludes Rowe, "a very large
number (of students) find out not only that it's their last chance, it's their
best cha~nce -- and a good chance.''

Granander challenges ASLCC results

Tomas Granander

David Anderson

With only five percent of the eligible students casting votes, last
week David Anderson and Debi Lance were elected 1980-81 student
union president and vice-president.
Anderson and Lance finish'ed with 322 of the 450 total votes.
Their opponents, Tomas Granander and Cory Chambers, had 128
votes.
But the election results are being -disputed. In an interview with
the TORCH yesterday,Granander charged David Anderson with
violating ''the spirit of the by-law$, if not the rules. i • Granander is
challenging the election on the grounds that Anderson ·campaigned
on the day of the election, a violation of ASLCC by-laws.
'' I have people ready to sign affadavits saying David campaigned," asserts Granander. He further contends that the people staffing the polls were "rendering opinions" about the candidates.
Citing a sense of obligation ·10 those people who voted in the elections, Granander says, "I don't want to move for disqualification. I
feel another vote would be the way to do it."
When reached by the TORCH, Anderson declined to comment on
Granander' s charges of misconduct, referring questions to
Gran_ander, or to Gary Wilson, who was in charge of the elections.
Debi Lance, questioned about possible irregularities, replied that
she was ·not aware of any improper conduct by Anderson. She

remarked that a chall-enge by Granander is "fine with me,if that's
what he wants to do.''
The top team will assume its Associated Students of LCC (ASLCC)
duties on May 27 during the final meeting of the 1979-80 Student
Senate.
•
During last year's ASL CC election, only 232 students voted -roughly three percent of the student body. •
The student union treasurer, cultural director, and seven senators
were also voted into office for next year. The new ASLCC officers,
along with the votes they received, are:
• President David Anderson and Vice-president Debi Lance (328
votes).
• Treasurer Mary Stolt, who ran unopposed (318 votes).
• Cultural Director Jim Pilon, who ran unopposed (296 votes).
• Senators Charles Ong (252), Steve Grappo' (241), Leslie Warden
(255), Michael Cross (255), Richard McCord (261), Mark Ross
(259) and Doug Wade (13).
Ilima Markarvi withdrew from the race for a senatorial position.
Granander further alleges that Anderson offered him the position
. of ASLCC vice-president. Anderson denies the allegation, saying
that at various times he has recommended to Granander that he apply for some of the vacant student union positions, but that he never
off~red him the vice-presidency.

contacted by The TORCH join Munson in
his belief that prior work experience is a
better prerequisite for attaining a job than
a prestigious college degree.
'· Dependability has nothing to do with
a college degree," continues Munson. It
merely suggests that a person has the
' 'capability' ' to perform well in the job
market. Experience, repeats Munson, is
much more valuable than any college
degree, according to Munson.
Many employers around the Eugene
area seem to agree with Munson's
conception.

Feature by Charlotte Hall
of The TORCH
·' Education may be a stumbling
block ," admits David Munson,
Montgomery Ward's operating manager,
' ' but they can overcome that.''
People who have received a degree
from a college institution have already
shown a desire to improve their lot in
life, adds Munson, and they have
probably been involved in outside
projects whereas the person fresh from

ACME Roofing's Office Manager, Carol
Jacobs, says, "Education doesn't enter

'Education may be a stumbling block . .. '
high school, for example, will not have
had that exposure . But, suggests
Munson , those people can enroll in
training courses offered to Ward's •
employees and, if they have enough
desire, they can achieve any position
they want.
Mobility in a particular job, explains
Munson, does not always depend on the
amount of education an employee has -at least for lower positions. Higher job
levels, however, are more easily obtained
by persons possessing a college degree.
The overall consensus formed by a
majority of the Eugene businesses

into (the hiring of employees).'' She says
the company hires its employees with the
idea in mind of training them to the
experienced worker (journeyman) level,
equivalent to 800 working hours. Jacobs
believes that the people hired are simply
''in the right place at the right time.' '
But she also assures that there is more
to chance in gaining a job at ACME
Roofing than it seems. Employees without
previous experience can be hired much
cheaper than those who are already at
the level of experienced worker. The
wage scale pays roughly $7.00 for nonexperienced workers, $8. 20 for

firo Uco >

employees with 400 hours experiencej
$9.00 for employees with 600 hours
experience (before they are recognized as
an experienced worker) , and $11 .60 for
employees with 800 hours experience
(after they are recognized as an
experienced worker).
But Jacobs also points out that the
company would like to start an
apprenticeship program because the
employees attain the position of
experienced worker before they are
actually capable of doing all the work.
Another problem with hiring people
who have a degree, concludes Jacobs, is
they ''cannot reconcile themselves to
hard physical labor when they feel they
should be doing something with their
education.''
The Equal Employment Opportunity
Coordinator, Fred Davis, of the Bohemia
Company, does not consider a person's
degree, or lack of it, while hiring .
"Experience," he explains, "is more
important.'' And Davis expects his
employees to know how to perform their
job duties, which pertain to the position

'' Almost all management positions
require a four-year degree ,' ' explains
Mccawley, "but payroll clerk 3 to
accounting clerk 2 requires no degree''
-- though, she says , 'two years of college
education would certainly be helpful.
Wages for county positions are pre-set,
informs Mc Cawley, so a college degree
would not give any employee an edge
over one with more work experience .
- ''There are times when you need
both,'' confides Dorothy Garner, branch
officer of operations for the US National
Bank. "Official type positions," she
adds, ''tend to look for a degree.'' But
Garner believes an employee can work up
to the same position if he or she is selfmotivated enough and ''takes advantage
of the opportunities (training programs)
available.''
Phil Young, Penneys' personell
manager, agrees with Garner's
philosophy. ' ' It is strictly up to the

'Experience is more important'
they are applying for, in advance -though, he admits, entry level production
jobs do not require previous experience.
Employees at the Bohemia Company
progress through the various job levels
based primarily on their performance,
adds Davis.
Lane County offers such a wide variety
of positions that a degree may be helpful
-- even necessary -- in some cases and
irrelevent in others, according to clarical

individual," says Young, implying that a
degree is just as important in terms of
job mobility as experience. ''We do not
weigh one more than the other. Even in
management the balance is necessary. In
this particular store,'' he explains, ''we
have four managers. Two are university
graduates and (the other two) have lots
of.experience but no college (degree)."
Young claims all four managers are
working at about the same level.

Howard Berkes is a man in a hurry.
His work space at KLCC radio is a jumble . Tape machines . Piles of cassettes.
Sheets of copy. Notes written to himself on
the backs of envelopes.
Wiry and infense, Berkes is in constant
motion -- tapping his pencil on the table
while waiting for an interview subject to
answer the phone, taking rapid notes,
punctuating a question with hand
gestures, stroking his chin lightly as he
listens to the answer.
Interview over, he studies his notes ,
glances at a clock, and begins to type his
story -- with two fingers . "I took a typing
class, but I cannot touch-type,'' he confesses. "I guess I'm just too impatient."
His way works for him -- and it fits his
personality -- effective and direct.
Story finished, Berkes reads it aloud to
himself, correcting awkward phrasing and
paring unnecessary words.
Glancing again at a clock, he quickly
checks through wire service copy for
material for the evening news show.
"We'll use this ,- not this -- I'd like a
rewrite of this -- this one only if we' re
desperate. ''

Finally , wire stories gathered and edited ,
local newspapers gleaned for important
stories, taped stories ready in the machine ,
Berkes dons his earphones , cues his
broadcast partner, and . begins the 6
o'clock new_scast.
' 'There's never been anything that 's
gotten me so excited and involved as this
has ," he says of his-radio work . " It 's a

challenge to take an event or a situation or
an issue and help the listener come in
touch with it in an intimate way -- in the
way the reporter came in touch with it. "
A good radio reporter, says Berkes,
takes all the elements of a story -- the

sounds and the people involved -- and
blends them together, so that '' what you
hear is not someone telling you the story;
you hear the story itself.''
As Berkes grows more skillful at meeting
the challenges of radio news, he comes
closer to tacing a decision about his future.
' 'There are still a lot of things I need to
learn," he says. "One of the decisions I
need to make is, 'Am I going to learn them
in school, or by doing this full-time?' ''
Therein lies the dilemma.
"It 's come up in just about every job
I've held, " relates Berkes. "At some
point , there's a question of whether or not I

built-in part of the program."
Berkes became involved with KLCC
when he saw an advertisement in the
Eugene Register-Guard for a news broadcasting workshop being given by KLCC.
After the workshop was over, he began
volunteering time at KLCC, and eventually
he enrolled in classes at Lane.
With the help of the staff at KLCC,and
his instructors at LCC, Berkes has
developed his skills to the point that he is
able to sell many of his stories and
newspots to National Public Radio (NPR) on
a free-lance basis. At the height of the interest in the volcanic activities of Mt. St.

and there aren't classes that do, although
the program is supposed to offer them."
The frustration that Berkes feels is that
even though he can do the job, "There's
still that proverbial door that's going to
slam in my face because of that proverbial
piece of paper that I just don 't put that
much value on.''
Another frustration Berkes feels is that
the majority of time he has spent in school
has conflicted with his on-the-job training.
He believes that instructors are not sensitive to that kind of conflict . "I've missed
classes and been told by instructors I really
shouldn't miss the cl;iss, even though I've
missed the class to cover some story that
will teach me an immense number of
things. Faced with a choice like that, I 'II
miss the class, " says Berkes.

an incredible amount that you can't learn
somewhere else. Nobody says that -- including the department head and the instructors." Until they do, Berkes will remain skeptical of his need for a degree,
and frustrated by his knowledge that many
employers will expect him to have one.

Buongiorno
Italy!

Ideally, Berkes believes, the system
should be set up on a basis where individual needs are met. '' If the program is
not flexible enough so that someone who is
going out and doing the job already cannot
do it and still participate in the program,
and get its benefits, then it seems to me
the program isn't working," he charges.
Berkes acknowledges that there are
some instructors ''who have helped me immensely. People who are committed to the
student and to taking the student as far as
possible with whatever skHls the student
has or can develop and turning them into
marketable skills.·' Those are the kinds of
people that vocational programs should
have, he stresses.

doing.''
Berkes' reaction to that is ''It's a lot of
garbage to make somebody sit in a
classroom for four years . . .very few programs throw you into the real world and
have you actually do what it is you' re intending to do four years hence. I know there
are many people who graduate from journalism programs and radio and TV programs who do not know how to edit tape,
how to put together a complicated mix.
The stories they've covered are stories
created by the instructor -- they haven't
had to deal with real people and real situations. A very few actually do get out and
get some good experience, but it's not a

Helens, Berkes spent a total of nine days
filing pieces for NPR's morning and evening news shows.
Conceding that '' my pieces still show a
lot of places where I need to grow and improve," Berkes feels that he is learning
more by doing than he would by sitting in a
classroom. '' I found myself in classes
learning something that I'd been dealing
with on a daily basis at the station. At first,
that was interesting and challenging and I
learned some new things, but after a while
the classes became boring, because each
new day at the station, I'd be doing
something more ... now it's hard to keep
my attention focused on the classes.
Classes do not deal with what I'm doing

Whether or not he will continue with
schocl and earn a degree is a question
Berk es still cannot answer. "Everyone I've
talked to agrees I can learn just as much
outside of school,'· he muses. '' It might
take a lot of discipline, it might require a lot
of work on my part . . . the only difference
is that in school you get formally recognized for it, and outside of school you get
recognized only as much as you make someone recognize you and what you've
done."

Health services varied

How many times a week do you use the bus?
Daily
Less than once a day
Mon1than once a day

by Marianne Jenkins
for The TORCH
During the 1978-79 school year approximately 2,300 students used the Student
Health Services (SHS) clinic. Use in the
current school year is averaging the same
-- about 61 student-visits per day.
A wide variety of ailments bring students
intq the clinic.
Respiratory problems
(colds, flus, sore throats, etc.) are among
the most consistent complaints. Many
students come for help with birth control or
family planning. Backaches and headaches
are common.
•
Director Sandy Ing notes, however, that
the frequency of certain complaints
changes month to month.
Respiratory problems top the list of illnesses treated. "There was a lot of activity with flu in January," explains Ing. The
SHS handled 113 people with upper
respiratory complaints during January, the
majority of these cases were flu. "But."
she continues, "February has quieted
down. We really did not get hit too hard
this year."
Sexually transmitted disease (STD) is
another very real problem, says Ing. ' ' It is
one of the primary health problems of
young adults."
The SHS clinic has done over 300 tests

tests are done at the request of students
and others are a routine part of other examinations, a precautionary measure. Five
cases were confirmed.
While LCC is in line with the national
average as far as incidence of STD is con-_

people need to be seen for -- treatment is
essential.''

The Lane Transit District is contemplating new fare hikes to
generate additional funding, and an
ad hoc committee at LCC wants feedback on how such increases would
affect college students and staff.

Current proposed increases include an $8 per month hike for fastpasses (from $14 to $22) and a
possible 30 cent jump in price on
single trips (from the current 35
cents to 65 cents). A new concept
proposed by the bus company is a

ITHACA, NY (CPS) :_ Following in the
footsteps of Playboy magazine's publicitygenerating campus search for models,
Playgirl magazine has launched a campaign to find male students on Ivy League
campuses who are interested in posin~

"The response has been great," says
Playgirl's Kevyn Allard, "except at Harvard and Yale." At those schools, she
says, there's been no response at all, not

trips during one day.
Senior citizen rates of a dime a trip

everyone complete this survey and
drop it off at Evelyn Tennis' desk in
the Student Activities Office (second
floor of the Center Building, right
across from the Counseling Desk) by
Monday, May 19. Results of the
survey will be tabulated and

even a negative one.
Conversely, Playboy has managed to stir
up controversy on almost every campus
it's visited ,since it published a "Girls of
the Ivy League" photo layout last year.
At Baylor University President Abner McCall threatened to discipline any student
who posed nude and was identified as a
Baylor student. Shortly thereafter, three
members of the Baylor Lariat staff were
fired for publishing editorials critical of McCall's stance.
This is not the first time, h.owever, that
Playgirl has scouted for models on campus. Two previous layouts -- men from
Pac-10 schools and Harvard -- were very
pop'ular with readers, Allard reports. If all
goes well in the Ivy League, ''We could
very well do other schools.''
The point, says Playgirl photographer
Morley, is men should be just as able to
pose nude as women.
" I think men will be responsive ,"
Morley says . " We now have a liberated
era, where men have the right to show
their bodies like wome~ do. "

Although she says the clinic is adequately staffed to handle the current number of
student visits, Ing feels that more students
would make use of their services if they
understood better just what the clinic is.
·'Many (students) see us as 'the high
school nurse' who couldn't even give out
an aspirin," relates Ing. "This is an erroneous image."
The professional staff consists of one
physician on duty four hours a day, three
nurses (two full-time and one part-time)
and a medical technician.
SHS 's aim is to provide primary health
care to students, which can be translated
to mean diagnosing when students ask,
"What's wrong with me?" explains Ing.
SHS staff diagnose and treat students'
immediate medical problems. But, Ing continues, they also try to help students learn
how to stay well. This means teaching
them to recognize what medical problems
they can safely handle themselves (colds,
flus, etc.) and what symptoms indicate a
problem that they should seek a physician's help (pneumonia).
SHS deals with students on a one-to-one
basis. In addition to diagnosing and
treatin.g illness, vision or hearing problems, backaches, headaches, performing
lab tests , assisting with birth control
methods or family planning, the SHS staff
responds to emergencies on campus.
"Our goal," concludes Ing, "is to help
our students stay healthy and stay in
class.''
The clinic is located at the south end of
the cafeteria in the Center Building , Room
126. It is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to
12 noon on Friday. No appointment is

May 15 -11, 1980 The TORCH Page 7

Alcohol fUel: An example of ~American Ingenuity~
ingrediants are provided by nature, our
dependency on limited resources such as
coal and oil is reduced. Also, ethanol burns
much cleaner than gasoline, reducing the
amount of poisonous gases released into
the atmosphere dramatically.
• Safety: Because ethanol is not very
volatile (explosive), a car shou Id not explode if rear-ended. This is one reason why
race car drivers sometimes use alcohol.
• Versatility: High quality ethanol can be
made from many different items -everything from artichokes to potato peels
-- giving many alternative fuels to run a
still on, and allowing an operator to utilize
materials which would have otherwise
been wasted.
While ethanol as a motor fuel may still be
in its technological infancy, requiring a few
bugs to be worked out, some experts feel it
offers an exciting alternative to gasoline for
today and for the future .

by Kent Gubrud
of The TORCH
"It's nothing new, you know ," says a
Minnesota farmer who operates his entire
500-acre dairy farm off of pure ethyl
alcohol, or ethanol.
In an interview_in Mother Earth News, an
alternative lifestyles magazine, he explains,'· Farmers were burning straight
alcohol in their tractors years ago when
they couldn't get anything else. ''
No , it's not a new idea.
In the past, pure alcohol has been used
to fuel everything from race cars to
airplanes.
And according to last month's issue of
Mechanix Illustrated Henry Ford first
recommended ethanol to power the Model
T.
Now, because of its competitve price,
utlilzation of 'waste' materials, safety, and
ecological characteristics, alcohol fuels
have started to make their comeback into
the disrupted energy market.
But of the different types of alcohols, only two kinds, ethanol and methanol, may
be used for the internal combustion
engines , says John Mingle, in an Oregon
State University bulletin last October entitled ' 'Converting Your Car To Run On
Alcohol Fuels. ' '
··Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is made by
fermentation of sugars derived from fruit,
grain , or any starch material," explains
Mingle. While it's counterpart, methyl
alcohol (methanol) , is "made by reforming
natural gas ."
Ethanol , however, is the most commonly
used fuel-alcoh.il because it has more
energy (BTUs) per given amount and is not
as corrosive to metals and plastics as is
methanol .
But now, many people seem to be talking
about gasahol, a sort of "distant cousin"
to pure ethanol . President Carter called it
" a classic example of American ingenuity"
last sprrng. It's a mixture of 90 percent gas
and 10 percent ethanol. The main attraction to the fuel is its compatibility with the
Americ~n internal combustion engine: An
engine using gasahol doesn't require any
engine modifications and will usually perform better with possibly more miles-pergallon.
Pure ethanol, on the other hand, must be
in the 180 to 200 proof range in order for
the engine to run properly, according to

The Disadvantages to Alcohol

Photo by Dennis Tach1bana

most sources. And slight engine adjustments are necessary (carburetor jets
must be enlarged) for the engine to perform normally. And an engine running on
straight ethanol usually gets fewer miles
per gallon than gas. But Steve Carper feels
this loss may be eliminated by using a fuel
vaporizor on the intake manifold. In fact,
mileage may actually increase ' 'four to five
times" what it would get running on gas.
Carper is the research and imformation
specialist at the Oregon Fuels Clearinghouse, a non-profit alcohol imformation
center located at Eastern Oregon College .
He feels we have· the technology to make
alcohol a practical reality today.
And the government is trying to encourage its use. In Oregon alone, there's a
large amount of government money and incentives available to the alcohol experimenter, says Carper. For example,
there 's a 40 cent per-gallon tax credit for
Oregonians who produce alcohol in the
90-100 proof range ( 100 percent pure).
Carper suggests that the legal
''moonshiner'' talk to an accountant or
lawyer in order to take advantage of all the
financial benefits available.
"There is a lot of interest" ·in ethanol
fuels says a spokesman for the Portland 's

office of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), the agency
that issues the·permits needed to legalize
the operation of an alcohol still . ATF makes
it their business to know the still operators '
methods of making and storing of the
brew. And after the batch is brewed, ATF
requires that the still owner denatures
(make poisonous) the ethanol by adding a
cup of gas or ketone to every five gallons of
fuel.

The Advantages of Ethanol

• Cost: With the many tax credits and exemptions now available, the cost of ethanol
should be under $1 a gallon for the do-ityourselfer. The price of alcohol is impossible to pin down , however, since it will vary
with the type of fuel and equipment used.
One company, Endless Energy, claims
an incredible 42 cents per gallon. But its
figure does not take into account the price
of the land on which its fuel (fodder beets)
is grown on, or the initial cost of the still
($795 to $6,550) .
For those more energetic, Mother Earth
News will sell you plans (at $15) ·to build
your own still in the $250 range.
• Ecology: Ethanol is a renewable
resource. And because all the necessary

• Extra effort: Ethanol is not commercially
sold at a price which is feasible right now,
so you will have to make it yourself.
It will require extra energy on your part
to grow or locate , transport, store, and·
finally distill your fuel-crop into quality
fuel.
• Traveling: Because ethanol is not sold
commercially , an ethanol-powered car cannot drive farther than its on-board supply
will allow. But since it is not dangerously
explosive , extra tankfuls can be carried
along .
A vehicle can be converted so that it can
run on both ethyl alcohol or gasoline , requiring only a flick of a switch to convert.
• Corrosion: Ethano"I becomes corrosive to
plastics and metals if mixed with water.
Therfore , extra precautions must be taken
to insure that water does not enter the
alcohol fuel system.
• Cold weather performance: Alcohol
evaporates at a higher temperature than
gas. Therefore, the fuel does not readily
evaporate when the outside temperature
drops below 45 degrees, as is needed. A
fuel evaporater or preheater should solve
any hard starting or rough running problems resulting from the temperature, and
should even increase the miles-per-gallon
substantially.

Center at 1-800-525-5555.

by Donna Mitchell
of The TORCH
Competing against 217 entries from colleges and universities throughout the Northwest, two TORC H staffers have won top
honors in the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, Mark of Excell ence contest.
Sarah Jenkins, TORCH Editor, topped 67
other entries to wi n first place in her
category of in-depth reporting . Dennis
Tach ibana, TORCH photography editor,
won second place in feature photos .
Jen ki ns and Tach ibana were the only
comm unity college journalists to win
awards in the regional contest.
Ro n Lovell, SPJ , SOX reg ional director
and Oregon State University instructor in
charge of the award ceremony held in Seattle on May 10, notes that it is rare for commu nity college students to enter the competition . '' I was particularly pleased they
entered and did so well , he states. " To
my knowledge , it is the first time a community college student has won .''
Jenkins ' winn ing entry was a four part
11

series on incest which ran in the TORCH
from Sept. 27 - Oct. 18. A condensed version appeared in the Eugene RegisterGuard in three parts in late September.
The story was a culmination of six weeks
of interviewing and research. Jenkins read
books , law enforcement statistics and " a
two-inch thick stack '' of reports and scientific documents , and interviewed 40 people, includ ing members of six families coping with the results of incest. The most
difficult part of handling such sensitive
material was " dealing with my own emotions and my own reactions to the people I
interviewed, says Jenkins. "The story
was really important to me , she adds ,
" and having it recognized this way is the
ici ng on the cake.''
Tachibana 's winning photo was a cover
photo of " Super Kenyan " Henry Rona
which appeared in the Nov. 1 issue of the
TORCH. Rona was photographed at the
NCAA Northern Division Cross Country
Championships held at LCC on October 27 .
Tach ibana says , ' ' It really surprised m_e
-- getting an award. In one sense , it's just
a certificate; in another it's nice to be
recognized.' '

didn't answer her return call. Concerned,
she took the next flight to Gainesville, hurried to his off-campus apartment, and
found that sometime between Gortler's
phone call and his girlfriend's arrival, the
19-year-old sophomore had placed a rifle to
his head and shot himself.
Yet Gortler's was only one of five
suicides during a recent ten-week period at
the University of Florida. Two students,
two faculty members, and one former student have killed themselves. An unsuccessful attempt by a student in the UF
parking lot was also made during the same
period.
While UF's suicide rate during the tenweek period is extraordinarily high, so is
the recent national college rate. In fact,
suicide in the 18 to 24-year-old age group
has risen to epidemic levels, and the only
thing the experts can agree on is the factors responsible are baffling.
Health statistics for college-age people
tell a grim story ·of depression and stress
quite frequently tied to academic
endeavors and college life. Suicide is the
second leading cause of death for 18-24
year-olds. Only auto accidents claim more
college students. Many law enforcement
officials, though, suspect some of those
may also be intentional acts of selfdestru ct ion.
''There are as many reasons to commit
suicide as there are people who do it,''
says Liz Jones, director of the Alachua
County Suicide and Crisis Prevention
Center in Gainseville. UF students account
for 20 to 30 percent of the center's case
load. "Each time we look at a suicide it's
unique. There's no way you can say a person kills himself because of college.''
L. Thomas Cummings, director of student mental health services at Arizona
State, thinks college pressure can help
push an unstable person over the edge.
Yet he adds that a lot of students who commit suicide bring the potential for killing
themselves when they enroll.
''There are so many dimensions to
suicide that it really isn't fair to impHcate
the university completely," he says.
"There are life pressures, pressures with
boyfriends and girlfriends, economic
pressures. One has to stand a certain
amount of pressure. Academic stress is a
validating factor, but not a primary one.
''The university may be the last straw,''
he adds, "but the whole comprehensive
mass is responsible.''
But Michael Zangari, a student at the
University of Nebraska whose extensive
research into suicide was prompted by a
friend's death, firmly believes college can
be a determining factor.
'' A lot of . college students haven't the

Bortholome\N says goodbye to Oregon
by Carla Schwartz
of The TORCH

He was in Vietnam -- twice. He's a
published poet. Before moving to Eugene
and LCC, he ·taught music in Nebraska.
Now, at 32 , Noyes "Bart" Bartholomew
has another facet to add to his already
varied history.
Bartholomew has received a $5 ,000
fellowship to attend Columbia University 's
prestigious two-year doctoral program.
He is understandably excited about the
fact that three of the school 's seven
faculty members have received Pulitzer
prizes .
But there was a time when Bart would
not have considered music as a career.
' ' Both of my parents were professional
musicians ," he says. "My mother was a
concert pianist, and my father was a
composer in the Chicago area." But
instead of encouraging him to carry on
the family tradition, Bart's parents
disapproved. Ironically, both Bart and his •
brother have become musicians.
Bartholomew's first instrument was the
trombone, but he later switched to the
trumpet, his current area of expertise. He
attended college at the University of
Nebraska, in his home state, planning to
attend medical school afterwards. But
two days after getting out of school, in
1967, he was drafted :
'' People with money tended not to get
drafted," he says without a trace of
emotion . ' ' I was just from the wrong side
of the tracks. ''

Vietnam was a harrowing experience
for Bartholomew. As a medic, he was
faced with some of war's most violent
atrocities. After a particularly bloody
attack, he was one of the only two
survivors from his 22-man unit. Although
his memories of that day are sketchy, he
remembers the 11 and a half months
spent in a hospital as a result of it. '' I
lost a finger ," he says, " but I was
virtually not wounded.''
In 1968, Bartholomew went on
television and publicly denounced the
war, while in uniform. He called it
"colonial and repressive. " Needless to
say , this did not sit well with his
superiors , and Bartholomew found
himself back on active duty as soon as
he left the hospital.
This time around, he got into the army
band where he rediscovered his music.
"I'm not superstitious," he explai·ns,
"but I was drafted on the 13th, arrived
in Vietnam on the 13th, went into the
hospital on the 13th, and left the hospital
on the 13th. I've been wary of 13ths
since then.''
Sti II, he is not bitter about the war. "It
shaped me a lot, and I don't necessarily
think it shaped me for the worst.'' In
fact, it was an important step in his
creative development.
Bartholomew went back to Nebraska
and back to school. He began writing
poetry -- mostly about the war. '' By then
I was 23, 24, a_nd surrounded by cornfed innocence. I wrote volumes of poetry,
got some stuff published, and became

known in the community as a young
poet." But as he got closer to his puetry,
he was able to view his experiences in
Vietnam more objectively. '' I became
aware that I was writing poems about
sounds. That's when I enrolled in
music.''
He went on to get his master's degree
in music composition, play in Ike and
Tina Turner's back-up band, and work
with various music organizations in
Lincoln, Nebraska before coming to

band gone big time, The Cretones put in
their first (and probably last) Eugene appearance at Grand Illusions recently. Apparently the "we ain't no ... copy band"
band upset a few apple-carts when they
walked off the stage without announcing
that they weren't coming back. But the
contract said 50 minutes, so that's what
we got.
Eugene's punk magazine, Less Than

in its May issue. "Just what the name implies: Wimp rock,'' writes Warren Piece
(rumored to be a manager at Everybody's

seems to intrigue him. "New York is a

Heidi Swillinger has been selected as TORCH Editor for the 1980-81 school year. Meeting
in closed session Friday, the 12-member LCC Media commission chose Swillinger, this
year's associate editor, over two other candidates for the office. Also running were Kent
Gubrud, currently serving as TORCH sports editor; and Mavis Buck, an LCC student and
contributing writer for the Eugene newspaper The Phoenix.
Applicants submitted examples of their writing for Media Commission consideration , and
were interviewed by commission members in Friday's meeting . Questions concerning journalistic judgement, media law, and policy changes the new editor would initate during
his/her term in office.
According to an ASLCC representative on the commission, Richard McCord , individual interviews lasted "about half an hour to 45 minutes " each, altogether the commission
meeting, which included discussion of the Denali editorship , lasted three and a half hours.
Selecting a n·ew .editor for Denali was on the agenda, but commission members had been
unable to reach one of the two candidates in time for the Friday meeting and voted to
postpone action on the matter for one week. This would give both applicants equal opportunity to be interviewed before a final choice is made.
Applying for the Denali position are Barry Howarth, a professional photographer; and Mark
Schwebke, of the Dead Mountain Echo, an Oakridge publication .
Current TORCH editor Sarah Jenkins, said of Swillinger: '' I'm very pleased with her selection. She has the ability and the energy to make The TORCH even better."
The Denali editorship had not yet been filled at press time.

Rusin 'proves the coach wrong
by Heidi Swillinger
of The TORCH

The Titans have the field. The
oppo'lents are down two outs.
The batter is up . A hit, ball deep into
right field.
•
An outfielder stoops , picks up the ball.
A bomb to first.
Dave Rusin sees the runner coming at
him. He sets himself at the bag. With
split-second precision he extends his arm
and seems to draw the ball to him like a
magnet.
Got 'im. The umpire signals the third
out.
Rusin, 20 , has a good start on the
skills needed to achieve his one burning
goal -- becoming a pro baseball player.
'' I think I have the tools for a good
first baseman," says Rusin. "I'm tall
(6'3") and I have a good arm and I have
good hand-eye coordination.''
Although Rusin 's self-evaluation
borders on understatement, his father,
Lou, is not nearly so modest about his
son's abilities. "He has a tremendous
range on his stretch,'' remarks Rusin
senior, an avid sports fan and exbaseball player. "I don't think there's
many kids I've seen that can parallel
himself to the ground and get Dave's
reach .''
Rusin says that his weakest point is
his speed. "I'm not the quickest guy on
earth," he concedes. "But I hit
consistently. That's the name of the
game.
This season, he's hit seven home
runs, with an overall batting average of
.390. "In my 13 years of coaching,"
says former high school coach Mike
Nicksic, "only he and one other guy
have been able to hit as far."
Rusin has played basseball ever since

seventh grade, when he and his family
moved up from California to Eugene. He
started out playing in the Eugene Sports
Program.
'' I wasn't always good at baseball,''
recalls Rusin. "I was always kind of
uncoordinated and I grew eight inches in
my eighth grade year, so I was kind of
lanky and skinny ... It was a slow
growing process. My coordination had to
catch up with my body.''
Rusin's father remembers a comment

encouragement to his son whenever it
was needed.
In the meantime, Rusin worked hard to
improve himself. His father recalls, "A
coach would say 'If you want to be a
good hitter, you're going to have to
swing that bat 200 or 300 times a day.'
And that's what he did. . .I've seen the
blisters on his hands."
At Churchill High School, he met Coach
Mike Nicksic, to whom Rusin credits
much of his success at baseball. "I think

made by a coach during that period.
"That boy will never make a baseball
player,'' the coach predicted.
He was wrong.
In fact, his prediction was a motivating
force for Rusin. The comment, although it
hurt his feelings, made him determined
to prove the coach wrong.
'' He was like a gangly chicken
coming out of a shell,'' remembers Lou,
'' but I had another coach say, 'Kids
develop at different stages of their lives.
One who might be a super athelete in
junior high may never do anything in
high SGhOOI.' ,, So Lou developed a 'wait
and see' attitude and gave lots of

best thing for me. He showed me the
fundamentals. He was ci great
•
fundamental teacher,'' says Rusin .
"He's one that listened~" says
Nicksic. "That always helps. And he's
got a lot of potential . I thought that when
he was a sophomore.''
Nicksic also coached Rusin in
basketball, but Rusin gave it up at the
end of his sophomore year. '' I stuck with
the game I liked the best -- and that was
baseball," says Rusin, who was voted
Most Valuable Player in high school.
"Those three years really saw a big
change in Dave," says Nicksic's wife

Marilyn. "He went from a squirrley kid
to a fully mature young man.''
Rusin played American Legion the
summer after his senior year. '' I wanted
to continue with baseball and to continue
with baseball you have to go to school,"
he says. Dwayne Miller, then head
baseball coach at LCC, offered Rusin a
position at first base, which he accepted.
Rusin attributes his success to skill,
luck, and confidence. ''When you have
confidence up there at the plate, the ball
looks bigger than it really is. It looks like
a softball. Seriously, when you have
confidence, that ball looks big, and you
just rip it."
"I think I'm having the best year I've
ever had,'' he says.
But because this is his last year at
LCC, a current source of anxiety for
Rusin is that he's had no offers from
universities or colleges to play next year.
He'll be playing first base this summer
for CJ H Construction, a semi-pro sponsor
league, but after that, things are up in
the air for him. ''I just want to play baseball,'' he
says. "I think I have the credentials to
play ball, but no one's contacted me
yet.,,
Rusin finds the silence disconcerting.
''There are some scouts that hang
around the ball games once in a while, .
but they're mostly at the schools with the
better talent. We have some guys on our
team that have great potential, but the
scouts usually hang around the teams
that are up at the top of the standings .''
This year, LCC stands at a hardly
adequate fourth place. '' They pick the
first two teams to go to Regionals,"
explains Rusin, the Titan team captain.
''We just didn't get it all together this
year. We have good potential, but we'd
have streaks where people would hit
good for a while and then just halt. Not
everybody jelled at the same time.''

Both Nicksic and Lou agree that the
weather factor detracts from baseball in
Eugene. "Football and basketball are
more adaptable," says Nicksic.
"Baseball in this to gets back seat to
track and field.''
"Where," asks Lou, "can you go and
find ten to twelve thousand people out
there cheering for runners except in
Eugene?''
Rusin realizes that the team's chances
. of making first or second in the
standings are slim, so "We're all just

LCC women go to n_ationOls
by Dale Parkera
of T~e TORCH
Six LCC women tracksters left Tuesday
for the National Junior College Championship meet in San Angelo, Texas, after a win
in the North West Region 18 championship
meet last Saturday in Gresham.
Jill Lanham, Eeva Vedenoja, Anne
O'Leary, Sandy Dickerson, Maria Urrutia,
and Loi Brumley picked up points for the
Titans Saturday, putting them past second
place finishers Mt. Hood Community Colleae 105-97, to qualify for nationals.
Titan assistant coach Lyndell Gray was,
"A little worried because Jill (Latham) was
injured in the start (a strained muscle), but
we had a really strong showing in the field
events, and Eeva won the 400 meter hurdle, which helped the point standing."
Overall, Gray felt, "The women were able

to perform when they needed to. This meet
was a good evaluation of their determination."
Saturday was the third time LCC and Mt.
Hood met this season, and the Titans were
especially proud of their victory since the
Mt. Hood Saints have beaten the Titan
women twice this year, both times by only
two points. Third place in the regionai meet
went to Southern Idaho, with 79 points,
and last place fell to Chemetketa Community College, with only 2 points in the competition. There were 12 teams between
