The reasons these people support Ron are because he supports military spending, is against abortion, and wants to put '' prayer back into our schools.'' Haven't Americans always had the right to pray wherever and whenever they want to? What Reagan and these people are talking about is forcep prayer! That the possfbility_rooms . that someday our children will be forced to pray in th~ir public schools is preposterous! Whatever happened to the good old freedom of religion and the separation of state and religion. These people want to do away with the teaching of the humanities entirely in favor of the holy gospel. Ron Reagan is pushing a measure that will give more power to the CIA and FBI. Barry Goldwater in his keynote speech at the Republican Convention stated in sup port of Reagan's stand on this ~sue that, "We have to know who those people are that are living among us that don't believe in the system!" Whose system? America 's or Reagan's? Because if ir's the latter, myself and anyone else could find themselves with their phones tapped or worse. Internal oppression and external aggresion are not the answer to our country's , problems. America must junk this machoistic reactionary, attitude and lighten up before it gets us all in trouble. We have the responsibility to our country and the rest of the countries on this good earth not to make a 70-year old Fascist one of the most powerful men in an already troubled world. John T. Nelson To the Editor: Since the issue has been brought up in an attempt to rid Reagan of his war-monger image that he is against the ''peacetime draft,'' I thought it would be interesting to point out some of the things that the actor-turnedpolitician {toes support., .and op:\_-. "·.··-·_ pose~ · Looking at the ·1980 Republican platform and past quotations from Reagan one has to notice that he is strongly opposed to social programs that benefit the poor incIuding unemployment insurance , welfare, food stamps, and many others. This combined with the lack of jobs, the higher costs of attending college, and the fact that Reagan is for massive military spending, an escalated nuclear arms race, supports the Vietnam war as an '' honorable cause-, '' and wants to blockade Cuba, brings me to the conclusion that under a Reagan Presidency a '' peacetime draft'' would not be necessary simply because the lower echelons of the economic ladder would be financially forced into the military. It should be obvious to everyone that this man is no dove of peace! Ronald Reagan says this country needs to be and I quote '' not regulated by government but ruled by big business." America shouldn't be ruled by anyone! Isn't this a democracy? Does Ronald realize that without government regulation the oil and electric companies will not give us renewable energy resources until they have sold us every drop of oil and every nuclear reactor that the public will buy? Does he know this problem is also the main cog in our economic woes? Does he know that without government regulation of pollution from this big business sector Lighten up Ms • .:. . ••• • • ,. that many of us will live to see the . qay that Oregon.. ijs, -no-• 1on.ger ..- ·~: ::.-- ,:_: ,. : i ; i~ .; . •~. : ;__ ··" ::-:, • green?

Her objection to the game area on the basis of its catering mainly to "young white men," leaves one wondering if she hasn't finally gone off the deep end in her zealous quest to ferret out sexism. (Her persistent outcries sort of remind you of the Salem witch hunts, the McCarthy witch hunts, and the boy, pardon me, the "person" who called wolf once too often, all rolled into one paranoid and jaundiced view of the world.) I would remind Ms. Stewart that there is nothing inherently "male'· about a pin ball machine or a pool table. Neither game requires any particular strength to play, .neither game requires any particular skill that can't be learned by anyone. Is Ms. Stewart simply saying we should forget the idea of a game area because she feels that women and minorities are not interested in pool or pin ball? If so, I would hasten to remind her that preference of entertainments is no ground for objection. Such individual choices are not sexually mandated. I think it's high time Ms. Stewart realize that many of her sacred cows are themselves sexist. I think I'd be justified in assuming that a Child Care Center wou Id carte mainly to women's needs. For Pete's sake (pardon me again), for Patricia's sake, Anne, lighten up and get over yourself. Jack Robert «» w OP-inlons These so-called "Christians" were a group from the Liberation House. What gives them the right to stand up on their high horses and publicly denounce passersby as "murderesses" and sinners and to stand in judgement of them? Did not Jesus say that one must ''first cast out the mote that is in thine own eye'' before passing judgement upon others? Did not he also say, "Judge not, lest ye be not also judged?'' And did He not teach love and tolerance for everyone? I feel hard-pressed to also point out some of this group's inconsistencies. I never received any satisfactory . or well-formed answers to questions I posed in regards to killing in warfare, the practicality of nuclear power or nuclear arms. Another question which did not receive any attention was about the. quality of life for new beings born into this world. I definitely got the impression from this group that is a totally ignored issue. To the Editor: In conclusion, I must note that I would like to speak out as a other self-admitted ''Christians'' student of LCC about a recent on campus allowed themselves to get caught up in the emotionalism event which transpired on campus.

Children first To the Editor: I feel that it is important to stress certain reasons why the proposed recreational facility in the snack bar area should not go through. Due to our obvious lack of funds at LCC it seems that any extra money we do have should be put to use in much more needed areas such as child care. Child care is a definite issue with many of the students at Lane. Granted, game machnines could bring money into the school. However, th is is also true of child care. Needy parents could pay possibly on a sliding scale. This would bring consistent constructive funds into the school. I've personally seen a lot of illegal and unacademic things going on in the snack bar area such as: smoking pot, drinking, and simply hanging out all day. A game room would attract even more of these _people, and .encourage more of this behavior. Lane Community College is a school. There are many other places around the community to go for fun and games.

The march, entitled ''Women Take Back the Night," has been planned for several months as a way of dealing with violence against women that includes wife-beating, sexual harassment on the job, and degradation in advertising and pornography. The incidence of reported rape increased 11 percent here in the last year, a rate higher than the national average. But there's power in numbers, says Janice Rubin, one of the march's 25 organizers. "You have a chance to realize just how many other women feel the same way. It breaks down the isolation. Take Back the Night is a bringing together of all the resources that we have so that we can take action in our communities.'' Take Back the Night will open Saturday, Oct. 25, with a day of by Jeff Saint of The TORCH Parvo Virus, a highly contagious disease currently affecting dogs in all parts of the country, was discovered in this area several months ago. A preventative vaccine (dellen-parvocine) is available, but is in very short supply, according to the TriAgency Animal Clinic. Early symptoms of the disease are depression, high fever, lack of appetite and vomiting. The last symptoms are red-brown diarrhea, dehydration, gastroenteritis (stomach pains) and further vomiting. The vaccination.s come in a series of two shots given three weeks apart. An annual booster is also recommended. Blood immunity to the virus takes effect one week after the second shot. The shot won't protect dogs previously exposed to the disease. Treatment for seriously affected dogs costs from $150 to $300. It consists .of supportive intravenous fluid therapy and antibiotic therapy if the animal has a low white blood cell count. Death rates are variable. Twenty to forty percent of young pups and ten to twenty percent of mature dogs who have contracted the disease die. The disease is highly contagious. It can be spread by petting an affected dog and then petting a healthy dog, or from the shedding hair of an affected dog. The Tri-Agency Animal Clinic advises dog owners to keep their animals at home and away from other dogs at least one week after the dog has had the second shot and has a blood immunity to the disease. The vaccination may not be 100 percent effective, but a healthy dog should be safe, TriAgency claims. COLLEGE STUDENTS Improve your grades! - Collegiate Research P.O.

That o"?ission h~lped elect Richard Nixon, just as surely as if they had voted for him. We can not afford to make the same mistake in 1980. In aJI the nation there are only three states where you can register to vote from now through election clay. This is one of the three states in which the law was designed to give people like us a chance to make our opinions count. Now it's up to us to take advantage of it. . The margin between President Carter and Ronald Reagan is whisker thin. Voters aged 18 to 25 have the opportunity to deliver the electoral votes of ·Maine Oregon and Wisconsin to Jimmy Carter: The three states control 21 electoral votes, the same number as one of the big, "superstates." This is our chance to unite and speak up to shape our future. We can choose four years of keeping peace, protecting the environment and putting America back to work, or we can choose the alternative: Ronald Reagan. It takes just a few minutes to register and vote, but the decision we make will last four long years. Remember that on November 4th. Remember the record of Ronald Reagan. Remember the lesson of 1968. Most importantly, remember to register and vote. Ifs your future. CARTER MONDALE You may register and vote if you are a U.S. citizen. age 18 by election day, and an Oregon resident since Oct. 15.

Earlpl Page 4 October 23 - It, 1980 The TORCH LCC cafeteria -food prices raised again by J. R. Schumacher for The TORCH Ever get the feeling you can't afford to be hungry? It frequently seems to happen around lunch time, when trying to balance the stomach's grumbling against the price list in the LCC cafeteria and snack bar. This year the cost of food is up again (right on the heels of a stiff increase last year) and it somehow seems unfair to pay what amounts to commercial costs for food in a community college cafeteria. I. But Bob Tegge, LCC Food Services manager, says, "We receive absolutely no money from any source except the cash register. The department is totally self-sufficient. The only two such departments on campus are the book store and Food Service." The college "owns" the Food Service Department, but has a contractual arrangement with Mannings, Inc. of San Francisco to manage the operation. Tegge is Mannings' manager, but the college pays his and all other Food Service employees' salaries . The Food Service Department pays LCC a ''rent'' of approximately $1,300 per month in the form of an administrative overhead charge. In effect, that money comes out of the pocket of every student who walks through the food lines. Jack Carter, dean of students, is quick to poi Rt out that-' 'the college does not cha·rge rerit on a square-foot basis, in the sense that we would if we were leasing a building downtown. The intent of that charge is to cover the cost of electricity, maintenance and heating.'' . I To meet this charge and other costs, Tegge figures the breakdown of a typical dollar spent in the snack bar to be 38 percent for raw food cost; 45 to . 50 percent for labor; with cleanand paper costs ing, miscellaneous taking up the rest. '' By law the Food Service can't make money -- and it can't lose money," explains Tegge . "Last year I raised prices on what I call 'junk food' -- cokes, desserts, etc. Some people felt it wasn't fair. My theory was not to raise prices on the entree: That way a student could still get a lunch and if he had money left over he could then buy a coke.'' ''This year I had to raise the entrees,'' concedes Tegge. But he adds, '' I figure our overall price increase should run between 3 to 5 percent, which is well below the rate of inflation.'' It hasn't turned out that way in every case. An egg-salad sandwich in the snack bar jumped overnight from 55 cents to 80 cents. This sort of price-raising has many students fuming. Still, Tegge says, raw food is supplied to the department by the lowest bidder on a weekly basis, and most of the vendors provide Food Services with a double discount • on purchases. Tegge says because Mannings is actually buying the food -- and not LCC -- it has the_benefit of buying in large amounts from vendors serving other Mannnings operations. Ten junior colleges in California contract with Mannings, for example, and so do all the restaurant units working on the Alasa North Slope oil pipeline. ' ' Everything I buy is absolutely top grade," Tegge points out. "I could probably lower prices and cut grade, but I personally would have a hard time doing that.'· And eating away at the balance sheet is theft. ''The biggest thing is the drinks,'' says Tegge. "Someone fills up a cup, drinks it there, then fills it up _again and pays for one. That's a 100 percent loss. ' ·Right at lunch when we' re so busy, there is no way to watch closely and when that line is gone, right there on the tray rails will be empty trays where people have stood in line and eaten, then walked off without paying." 2 As manager, Tegge uses a system of_ "averaging" food costs. One higher priced item may make up for the lower cost of other foods. The build-your-ownsandwich is a case in point. A common complaint of the operation is that the first 2 to 3 ounces of any sandwich is just bread, and at 20 cents an ounce, you' re paying a lot for flour. "The bread you're paying a lot for~" Tegge admits. "But not so much for the meat, cheese and spreads. Most of the sandwiches figure out at about that 38 percent figure for raw food cost. It averages out that way. '' Probably the biggest loser I've got right now is the natural apple juice (about 90 percent food cost), but I can't take it off the menu -- the students would nail me to the wall.'' He adds that Food Services also has to cover the cost of cleaning all chairs, tables and rugs in the cafeteria. It absorbs the costs of breakage, and theft of dishes and silverware. The college pays Mannings 3. 2 percent of the fist $40,000 gross income, 2.5 percent of the next college underwriting a portion of the cost of running Food Service. seem not does This unreasonable, considering that LCC is located far from town and the cafeteria is the only place to eat. Under these circumstances, Food Service might be considered in the same light as the Student Health Service or the Library. But LCC administrators are not receptive to the idea. '' I wouldn't agree that our location would indicate that the college should underwrite the Food Service program,·· says Dean Jack Carter. "What we do fry to do is provide as good a selection as we can at the most reasonable cost.'' '' I know of some colleges that underwrite their food operation, but most don't. There was a time when we were doing that and Food Service was losing money. That took direct education dollars away from the general fund. '' It would take a significant amount of money," Carter concludes. "You'd be talking about perhaps wiping out a whole academic program to make any impact on a 3/ 4 million dollar operation. Or else a tuition increase.'' 4Tegge feels Food Service could take over the operation of the vending machines on campus, run them effectively, and perhaps bring in as much as $15,000 to augment his department's budget. The admi nistration isn't supportive of his proposal because of the initial cash outlay required to purchase the vending machines. natural apple juice is also one of those items people tend to drink while in line -- and not pay for. What about the cost of labor, which takes up almost 50 percent of the food dollar? '' The year I came here we took in $265,000," explains Tegge. "Last year we took in over $600,000. Over the same period of time I've cut our staff from 37 employees to 24. I feel my people earn every bit of what they get, but we are paying about the highest salary in town ... They deserve it, but it does run the cost of food up." ,-~--------- --couPoN- ---------~--·. ~I $200,000, and 2 percent of the gross income over and above that amount. Roughly, then, the college paid Mannings $17,800 for operating the cafeteria and snack bar. With the national rate of inflation running at 14 percent, the forecast for a series of continuing price hikes for food at LCC looks inevitable, unless there are basic policy changes made in the near future. 3 The best possibility for relief lies with the concept of the S The menu could be trimmed, reducing variety, but leading to more effective purchasing and preparation costs. The only sure thing is that there is no painless solution to the problem of rising food costs -- at LCC or anywhere else. As long as the Food Service operation on campus is required to exist on the same basis as a regular commercial restaurant (with the exception of potential profit-making) it will continue to be subject to the spiralling costs of the marketplace.

Alexander Ginsburg and four other Soviet human rights activists were released, thanks to the negotiatior.s of this administration. The world now understands that human rights is a cornerstone of American foreign policy. The next four years will be a time of increasing world tension. We need the strong, steady hand, and the cool head, of President Jimmy Carter in the White House. We need to be sure that four years from now we can still say that no American has died in combat. That assurance is the most important reason for Americans, aged 18 to 25, to vote for Jimmy Carter. Our very lives may depend on it. Take Five for Your Future. There are only three states in the country where you can register to vote from now through election day. This is one of the states. We know the election will be close and our votes can make the difference, if we cast them. It takes just a few minutes to register and vote, but the decision we make will last four long years. Register and vote for Jimmy Carter on November 4th, so we can all live in peace. CARTER MONDALE You may register and vote if you are a U.S. citizen, age 18 by election day, and an Oregon resident rent conflict between the two countries, in his opinion. But he fears his own government in Iraq: "It's a dictatorship -- you can't say anything. A person can be killed like this ... '' He snaps his fingers. His parents were visiting relatives in another Arabian country when the war broke out, and have had to leave everything behind. They cannot return to Iraq. He claims his country recently deported anyone who had the slightest trace of Iranian blood, and confiscated everything they owned. Iran accepted the 50,000 exiles, many of whom had Iranian grandparents but no other connections. Thus, a 60-year-old woman whose grandparents left Iran to move to Iraq over 100 years ago would be forced to leave the land in which she grew up, and relocate in a country whose language and culture is foreign to her. In a random sampling of other Mid-Eastern students, most were able to maintain contact with their families and emphasized that they had no enmity for each other, saying they still have more in common than not. ''This is a war between governments, not between people, says the Iraqi student. '' I have almost gotten in fights many times. People give me a hard time, because they think I am Iranian. Even if I was Iranian, it's not a good way to treat Iranians -- they don't have anything to do with their government. ''This war is crazy,'' Zolfaghari says. '' Iran just wants to be independent, to be left alone. 11 11 "If I was in Iran right now," continues Zolfaghari, '' I would try to make peace with the countries by talking. God gave us a brain to think with and a tongue to talk with. We should talk out our problems verbally, not with atomic bombs, or F-16 bombers. Not for a barrel of oil.''

The room is filled with cabinets stocked with dry goods and 10 gallon containers full of rice, beans and noodles. Customers strbll around scooping their goods into brown paper bags , weighing them and marking the price on the sack with grease pencils. It's a typical scene at any of several natural food stores in the Eugene area. '' No preservatives' • and "no additives," "organically Photo by Jell Saint A typical scene in a natural foods store. grown " and "completely natural ' · are the passwords of the trade. Geraldine Hyde has worked at the Health Food and Pool Store in Springfield for the last five years. She tries to explain why some people choose to shop at smaller, natural food stores like hers, rather than the larger chain stores. " I guess it 's the quality of food ," she says . " A lot of times in the smaller stores the owners have the time and energy to find out the source of where their product is coming from . A lot of people who come in want to clean up their diet over a period of time and make it a little more pure source of food intake ; they have more trust and faith in a store like this -- that they're buying something closer to the natural product that they're after. '' Items like fertile eggs make a difference to some people ,'' she says. "A natural foods store would know the farmer and have an affadavit from them stati ng that they feed the chickens grain and let them run free. With commercial eggs, lots of times it's just a warehouse with penned-up animals being fed chemicals that make them lay eggs faster.'' Judging by the number of natural food stores listed in the phone book (27) , a lot of people . in this area are concerned about the things we put into our bodies, what they eat, and where that often in large amounts, may not be good for us. For instance, food comes from. People who shop at these sugar, chocolate and coffee stores give several reasons for (caffeine) are under attack for doing so. The consumers can be their-potentially harmful effects. A health food store would probably more sure of what they're getting and where their money goes; the stock items that could substitute products have no preservatives or for these eatables. To replace sugar one might chemicals added; and most everything is sold in bulk, so you pick up honey, fructose (fruit may buy just the amount you sugar) or date sugar. An alterwant.

For someone who wants to switch from a meat- .on ," says Hyde , "is that the eating diet to a vegetarian diet, Hyde makes these suggestions. '' First of all, you would need to find out what vitamins and minerals meat supplies the body -- mainly the eight essential amino acids and B vitamins. Then you would have to find these nutrients in other foods and supplement them into your diet. There are some good books around that deal with this -- 'Diet for a Small Planet ,' 'Survival for the 21st Century,' and 'Nutrition Almanacs ' are fine sources.of information. ' ' Americans have developed some poor eating habits. Some of foods in these types of stores are fresh. Without preservatives, the products must be bought and sold on a continual basis or they would spoil. Milk, for instance, is bought every two days at the store.' ' For people who read package labels in an attempt to be conscientious of what they' re buying, Hyde offers this advice. • ' ' Before you start checking labels you need to know what you· re looking for. If it says no preservatives or additives then that's a desirable sign. But you also need to check a consumer's handbook or guide to see what the ingredients are. If you're trying to be conscientious of your diet, you should try to eliminate things like sugar and processed foods that can be detrimental to • your health over a number of .--l years.'' Toothpaste is a good example. " There is a lot of talk that commercial toothpastes have sugar in · them -- it seems strange that we would brush our teeth with suga( Natural toothpastes are sometimes made from dolomite -a kind of stone-like lime -- fennel oil or peppermint. Natural soaps are derived from sources like Vitamin E or Aloe Vera." One might think that the typical shopper at a health food type store would be some kind of '·hippy,'' but Hyde disclaims this theory. ' ' Being over here in Springfield we don't really have a 'typical customer.' We get a wide cross section of students, older people from the outlying areas of Springfield who are kind of farmers , and then some peop1e just wander in off the street who've never heard of this stuff before.

Compiled by Paula Case Of the Torch The TORCH October 23 - 8, 1980 Page 9 -REVIEWS Music The River Bruce Springsteen His expression is different this time. In 1978, the cover of ··Darkness on the Edge of Town·' showed him standing in the hallway of what seemed to be a typical working class American home. Now, in 1980, the cover shot has zeroed in on tliat look of disgust, controlled anger and hurt . Bruce Springsteen, "The Boss,·· is back on the scene. It's been a long time coming, and for the wait the offering is two albums full of more tales of hot rods and broken hearts from the ' ' Jersey Devil.'' '' The River, '' a two record set, spans more emotions in twenty songs than some groups manage in their entire career. From the opening rifts of twelve-string guitar on ''The Ties That Bind'' to the final fade out of ''Wreck on the Highway, " the listener is put through the pain and frustration of young lust turned to boredom with the married life, the Friday night just-got-off-work-gonnaparty-and-dance-with-my-baby routine, and the realization that even ' rockers have to face growing up sometime. The back of the album cover spells out the message that Springsteen pushes pretty clearly. It displays fold-up cardboard cut- force in the rock music biz? Let's face it -- what used to sell was wine, (spo-dee-o-dee) women and song. The song remains the same, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent (???). Nowadays, the hip culture refers to this phenomenon as sex and drugs and rock and roll. Springsteen goes pretty heavy on two out of three. The strongest intoxicant mentioned on the album is beer (" Sherry Darling). Springsteen -has a reputation of being a teetotaler, and it looks like it will stay that way. Springsteen and his band have been expected to put out a live album for some time. For some reason, reportedly having something to do with the availability of several live bootleg tapes of his concerts, it has never happened. Legal suits have plagued Springsteen· s career. One surprising lyric on this album is in the song "I Wanna Marry You:" Now, honey, I don't want to clip your wings/But two people should think of these things/Having a home and family /Facing up to responsibilities. Can this be the same guy who wrote '' I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the strip tonight (Born to Run)? Well, there are five songs on ''The River'' about cars. But again, Springsteen's strongest talent is his expertise at releasing emotions. As the last songs of this album wind down, the mix of Clemon's sax sweeping out across the open road and Springsteen's howl of a trapped animal in "Drive All Night" prove that the intensity remains. But this time, Springsteen is leaning towards survival: There's machines and there's fire waiting on the edge of town/They're out there for hire but baby, they can't hurt us now/Cause you've got my love. by Jeff Saint outs of the bride and groom, maid of honor, and bridesmaids neatly tucked away in a back closet with some glow glitter, some disposable cups, a cardboard eagle perched on a cardboard American flag, and a small box labeled '' stock market quotations." Seems like a typical assortment of symbols for what middle class America holds closest to its heart -- love, God, country, money. And paper cups. Ballads have always been a specialty of Springsteen's . The title cut proves him capable of taking potentially dumb material and turning it into a clear description of what it feels like to lose the perfect feeling of young love on the riverside: '' I got Mary pregnant, and man that's all she wrote/No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle/No flowers, no wedding dress/Now all those things that seemed so important/Well, mister, they vanished right into the air/Now I act like I don't remember /Mary acts like she don't care. On the other end of the spectrum is "Sherry Darling:" You're mama's yappin in the back seat/Tell her to push over and move_her big feet/Well this morning I ain't fighting, , tell her I give up/Tell her she wins if she'll just shut up. Not exactly a tear jerker. Sometimes Springsteen strives for nothing more (and nothing less) than having a good time. "Cadillac Ranch," "I'm a Rocker,'' and ''Ramrod'' are three examples of what seems to be a strong Chuck Berry influence: Hey little do/lie with the bluejeans on/I wanna ramrod with you baby ti/ half past dawn. The sexual overtones get real obvious at this point, but what else can you expect from a major t~ A FAVORITE AMERICAN COMEDY! TheMan .Who Came . . to Dinner , .. •.• · (, BY MOSS HART & GEO. S.

I've often read similar ''grabbers'' for films. Experience has taught me that they' re rarely accurate. Until this time. ''Ordinary People'' is not an ordinary movie. It is dramatic without overdramatizing, moving without being manipulative and it is indeed a film you feel. In a well-to-do family of four where nothing is ever out of place and life appears to be a proverbial bed of roses, tragedy hits. One ·afternoon while Buck, the oldest son, and his brother Conrad (played by Timothy Hutton) are out sailing, they encounter a storm. Buck drowns, leaving behind him a younger brother so emotionally devastated by the incident that he spends the next four months in a mental hospital, after a suicide attempt. The film begins a month after he has returned home to make the slow descent into the "real" world. He goes back to school, continues with the swim team, even sings in the choir, but .. moves through his life as though surrounded by a cloud visible only to himself. His father, played superbly by Donald Sutherland, loves him tremendously, making sincere, if awkward efforts to encourage him. His mother, who loved Buck with an energy that died with him, slowly and systematically rejects Con. For those who are , Mary Tyler Moore fans, there is no resemblence between lively, bubbly, selfless Mary Richards and (t:AOUBAtxOUR MU$VC crenvett instrument re. atr sho - --~ ·.. = = = = = = = : : ~ = = ~ Come fine f /-:;/~ff our selecf1on e>F Jl 1n NEW 4 USEP Guitars• Banjos·'Violin~ Autoharp~ •Du~dmer~ • strmgs • acce.ssor,es • books • We flc:ce_pt TRJll>E·INS ·?O~ 5:30 ~rtst 0 dosed sunda4s 361 STUDE_NT DISCOU_NT WITH LCC ID. $3.00 the painfully icy Beth. This is by far Moore's best dramatic performance to date. Into this maze of people and emotions enters Berger, Conrad's psychiatrist, portrayed by Judd Hirsch. Berger cuts deeply into Con's troubled self, not by giving him the answers as much as giving him the tools to make his own answers with. Gradually, Conrad deals with his inner demons and comes to peace with himself. "Ordinary People" is Robert Redford's directing debut and it is a project that would have challenged the most seasoned director. Redford moves us subtly from the opening scene of Illinois in autumn, to the closing winter snow. Though it's easy to get the feeling that the dialogue is being used just to get us there, it's not what's really happening. The real happenings are the looks and the silences, the things left undone. The soundtrack (Johann Pachelbel's "Canon in 'D' " ) is haunting, and the photography in this work is striking, contrasting the moods of each scene with lighting and color (often an intense interaction is buried in semi-darkness, one tense "up " scene is so bright it hurts your eyes.) This is not a movie that ends '' happily ever after.'' The process wrenches deeply•into the en4 tire family unit, drawing to light issues that may have never been recognized without it. It destroys the myth that grief brings people together. In this movie, it tears them apart as each individual is tranformed, or rather, the reality of who each person is comes to the surface. But it is not a movie about death. It's about choosing life.

A strong OSU side took advantage of numerous LCC injuries and an indecisive forward line to shut out the Titans during the first half of the game. Former LCC star defender Martin Gyorgyfalvy headed in OSU 's first goal in the 15th minute of the first half, and OSU added a second goal in the 35th minute of play to end the first half with a 2 to O lead. Mohammed Al Subaie capped an aggressive attack by the Titan offense by scoring a goal 25 minutes into the second half. Though much of the second half was played on OSU's side of the pitch, LCC failed to capitalize on several scoring opportunities and the score remained 2-1. "There are no easy games for us this year," says Gyorgyfalvy. But he adds he is very pleased with the team's play thus far. The Titans are one of only three junior colleges in the 18 member Oregon Intercollegiate Soccer League. i •800 Miles Per dollar •Cost Effective Two Years •Totally Non Polluting •Tops and Windshield Available : : ! ! 484-4004 : t« Grand Opening .

Unlike most running events, in which speed is a necessity, this type of race is based on the runner's ability to predict his or her time before the actual race. John Bernham and Paul Williams tied for first place. Bernham estimated a time of 7: 15 before the race and finished in 7: 15. Williams also finished in his predicted time of 6:50. Second place went to Monty Nash, who finished in 5:58, two seconds off his estimated time of 6:00. The Intramural Office also sponsored an open mile run, in which Nash took first place honors in 5:21. Second place went to Aleica Ayers, who finished in 5:37 ' Presenting the most exciting weekend of television that Eugene-Springfield has ever seen!

In other words, the Eatons and Rockefellers were given control over who bought or sold goods to the USSR. These loans and sales were not to include war materials. But an April, 1975 W?II Street Journal article said that the US government had agreed to sell uranium to the Soviets. Early in 1970, construction on the world's largest truck factory began on the Kama River in Russia, at a cost of $2 billion. The Soviets put up 1O percent of the cash. The rest was split between the US government and the Rockefeller banks. And where do you suppose all those new trucks driving around Afghanistan came from? In similar fashion, the Trilateral-backed Carter proposal to build up mainland China and thereby intimidate the Soviets so as to insure a balance of power in the world is questionable. No sooner than most favored relations were extended to China, Rockefeller was off to the mainland to negotiate trade agreements with Chou En-lai. The move to build up China involves $600 billion over the n13xt 20 years.
