Reagan cure_for economy: cutbacks
.

by Deborah Allbritton
for The TORCH
Cuts which will eventually expunge $41 billion in federal
government programs, coupled
with substantial tax reductions,
are the major concepts in President Ronald Reagan 's plan to
" get the economy moving."
Speaking to a televised joint
session of Congress last night,
President Reagan called for cuts
in many federal programs •• except for the Defense Department.
The greater percentage of budget
cuts would affect low-income
Americans, several economic experts agreed in post-speech comments, while the bulk of 30 percent three-year tax cut would go
to taxpayers making $20,000 to
$50,000 a year.
Major sections of his plan, if
adopted by Congress, would produce the following effects:
• Low income people would lose
$1 .8 billion in food stamp
benefits.
• Unemployed Americans would
lose $1.2 billion in extended
unemployment compensation,
and $1.1 billion in trade adjustment assistance.
• Middle income families with
children in college would lose
$800 million in low interest tuition
loans .
• Farmers would face a $1 billion
cutback in dairy price supports,

and losses of $2. 5 billion in lowcost loans.
• The CETA job training program
would be cut by $3.5 billion.
• Public broadcasting, and the
arts and humanities programs
would be trimmed by $128
million.
• Synthetic fuel developers would
lose $3.2 billion in government
subsidies.
• Companies dealing in exports
would lose $2 billion in federal
loans.
•Although portions of the Defense
budget would be trimmed, the
overall budget would be increased by $5 billion.
ASSURING SERVICE NET'
'' I know that exaggerated and
innacurate stories about these
cuts have disturbed many people
-- particularly those dependent on
grant programs for their basic
needs," Reagan began, "but
those with true need can rest
assured that the social service net
of programs they depend on are
exempt from any cuts.''
Social Security retirement
benefits will continue, he said.
Medicare will not be cut, nor will
supplemental aid to the blind, aged, and the disabled. Funding
will continue for veterans
benefits," he assured members
of the House and Senate, and
members of the radio and television audiences.

Flying .rumors shot down
by Fred Boyer
of The TORCH
Rumors flying around -- that
there's going to be a cut-back
of LCC classes and teachers
due to budgetry problems -have been grounded.
Dr. Eldon Schafer, President
of LCC, says that while the
LCC budget is tight, just as it
is iQ every school, cut-backs
in staff or students is not imminent or planned. ''We've
been operating over budget for
the past two years , ' ' says
Schaf-er, "and we've been
getting by on our emergency
funds. Naturally, this can't
continue forever, but the
future is looking better. Lane
County people have treated us
well. The increased tax base,
passed last fall, has been very

come families will continue,'' the
president continued. "There will
be no cut in Project Head Start or
summer youth jobs. All-in-all,

"In the meantime," says
Schafer, "we are handling a
full-time student body of 9,600
and doing it well, and I anticipate we'll have at least
9,000 through the summer.''
The 600 student difference,
Schafer says, if it does occur,
will likely be due to cut-backs
in financial aid to students
from outside sources over
which he has no control.
··I have always been an optimiSt, •' says Dr. Schafer,
··and I have a great deal of
confidence in LCC's future."
Schafer says legislative
budgeting for state colleges is
still under discussion in Salem
and it's too early to tell what
the legislators might do. They
have questioned him concerning what he would do if LCC's
budget was cut 10 per cent.
He has a meeTing with them

that there must be no reduction in
aid to schools,'' the president
continued. ' ' Federal aid to education amounts to only 8 percent of
total education funding . For this 8
percent, the federal government
has insisted on a tremendously
disproportinate share of control
over our schools.
"Whatever reductions we 've
proposed in that 8 percent will
amount to very little in the total
cost of education," he claimed.
The federal government will ,
however, ·'restore more authority
to states and local school
districts.''
The president's plan is simple
in theory, said one TV commentator: He plans to eliminate some
government spending in order to
reduce the inflationary pressure
of deficit financing. Reagan is
also cuting taxes -- mostly to middle income Americans -- to
stimulate purchasing and saving ,
and therfore stimulate production
of goods and an increase in services. In the end, this cycle will
create jobs, according to the
president.

LCC library

seeks index
by Arli Beckjorden
for The TORCH

Although the LCC library staff
has indexed only 25 years of
Eugene newspapers so far, a
$4,600 investment could recapture those lost and thrilling days
of yesteryear.
An incomplete index leaves a
"century of information in
Eugene newspapers virtually inacce ssab Ie, ' ' claims · Mitch
Stepanovich, Library Cataloging
Assistant, but his proposed new
microcomputer system could
change that easily.
At present, students can find
information in Eugene's early
newspapers,· but the papers from
1870 to 1970 are not yet indexed .
The six earliest newspapers
from 1855 to 1870 have been indexed, thanks to a cooperative
venture with the Lane County
Pioneer Museum and special
CETA funding several years ago.
The once familiar names are the
Democratic Herald, the People's
Press, the Pacific Journal, the
Eugene City News, Eugene City
Review, and The Eugene City
Guard.
The index resumes with the
Eugene Register-Guard from
1970 through 1979. Last year's
budget cuts, however, created a
13 month backlog so the middle
of January of 1981 is just being
indexed now.
Stepanovich would like to see a
complete index of the Eugene
Register-Guard because, "The
index is the onfy readily accessible source for news information
regarding Eugene and Lane

Bloomburg Road dump used illegally

for The TORCH

Two hundred yards off 30th
Avenue near LCC, noxious odors
rise from a rectangular pit full of
thick, gooey liquid. A chain-link
fence and padlocked gates guard
the pit. A "NO DUMPING" sign
warns that dumping is illegal in
this area.

Rick Delacroux, an environmental technology major at
LCC, took samples from these
ponds and a nearby well to test
the water for chemical contamination. He suffered a rash and skin
irritation from contact with the
water samples he collected, he
says. Test results are not

available yet.
In January, an area resident,
Lucy Lampkin spoke to men who
had just finished dumping a load
of material into the pit. She asked
them who ordered the dumping.
One man said, "I don't know, I
don't know my bosses name."
When asked what -was being
dumped they said, ''It's only
sewer sludge."
Ben Masengil, director of Lane
County Solid Waste Management,
said this January 1981 that the
area was not a legal dump.
The Waste Disposal Site Survey
reported to the 96th Congress last
year the locations of over 30,000
hazardous waste dumps. The introduction of this survey says,
"Hazardous waste disposal. .
.may be the single most significant environmental health issue
of this decade.''
The Environmental Protection
Agency estimates 63 million tons
of hazardous industrial waste will
be disposed of th is year. That is
500 pounds of toxic waste per
person in the U.S. According to
the EPA, "90 percent of this
waste will be haphazardly
dumped on or into the ground,
stored improperly in leaking containers.''
Chemicals disposed of in fhis
way cause groundwater contamination. Last Spring, a report
given to former President Carter
says that at least 50 percent of
America's drinking water is contaminated by 40 known carcinogins.

time would decrease by 75 percent, while errors would also
decrease.
It would be more versatile and
create a cohesive index with a
broader subject range, and more
flexible in readjusting indexes
that have already been done.
Many indexes could be combined
more readily into one volume,
making it easier for use. And the
index would be more up to date,
thus doing away with the frustrations of the current backlog.

tifies the Bloomburg Road dump
as having acid solutions, base
solutions, heavy trace metals,
organics and inorganics.
Organics include arsenic, DDT,
rodenticides, pesticides, insecticides and herbicides.
''The only way groundwater
contamination could be detected
at the Bloomburg Road dump is
by installing monitoring wells,''
says Gary Morris of the Department of Environmental Quality,
and, "These wells are very expensive.''
'' Public awareness of the problem" is the first step in dealing
with ground water contamination
said Bruce Anderson at a Toxic
Substances Conference at the U
of O this week. Anderson is a
local attorney who specializes in
environmental law. He said
publicity is ''the key'' to making
money available for groundwater
testing. '' Cancer kills more
children between the ages of 5
and 14 than any other disease,"
according to Anderson. '' And the
major causes of cancer is environmental pollution.''
Residents of the Bloomburg
Road area use well water. Those
concerned about chemical contamination could have the well
water tested. But Craig Star,
head of Lane County Solid Waste
Management said in an interview
last year that local citizens who
feared their water was contaminated from leachate into
groundwater from old dumps had
"no recourse t know of if their
water is contaminated."

SPAM .vandals deface to\Nn murals
by Jeff Saint
of The TORCH

Ingredients : Chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat
added and salt, water, sugar, sodium nitrate. Spam is a
registered trademark for a pork product, ready to eat, hot or
cold.
In the last few weeks around
Eugene that word -- SPAM -- has
been scrawled across wall
murals, billboards, and signs .
leaving many passersby to
wonder what the current fad is all
about.
But the spray-painted slogan
fad has gone from making people
curious, to making them angry, to
making them sad. As of Feb. 18
at least two wall murals in town
have been defaced -- leaving
many people to feel that the prank
is no longer a laughing matter.
In fact, the Willamette Valley
Observer's personal classified
section has been filled with so many

to honor

interactions between SPAM addicts and MAPS (Muff Anyone
Promoting SPAM), like scrub
scrub scrub (the sound of Art
Vandals cleaning up their mess),
that the paper has begun deleting
the SPAM related messages.
A TWISTED TALE
But the story behind the SPAM
graffiti is a long and twisted tale
involving real and ficticious
characters, sometime-artists and
sometime-musicians.
Monty Python; a comedy group
from England, first used the word
in a skit , which was recorded on
an album, The Best of Monty
Python. But there isn't necessari-

ly any connection between that
skit and the writing on local
walls .
A few years ago a local group of
people calling themselves the Art
Maggots used the phrase in
Xeroxed publications that they
cre~ted. In fact, a character, called Kid Spam, emerged from the
imagination of a local musician.
Kid Spam was featured on
posters advertising a ficticious
rock and roll band labeled the
Foamlords. Well, one thing seemed to lead to another. Soon the
Foamlords became an honest-togoodness flesh-and-blood rock
and roll band, playing real gigs to
real people. And Kid Spam continued to hang out on posters
advertising the band.
But the SPAM graffiti has no
definite connection with the Art
Maggots or Kid Spam, with the
Foamlords or with any Xerox artists. These incidental facts may

There are some clues in the

Mr. Jones? Bob Dylan
PUNK BAND CONNECTION?
Steve Lebow, a former
manager of the WOW Hall, says
the people who work at the hall
have noticed a certain pattern of
events that occurs whenever '' so
called 'punk' bands" perform.
''Whenever punk bands play the
hall, the building gets defaced."
"We're into punk music,
because it's art -- it's what's
happening," Lebow stresses,
''but we're not into cleaning up
the graffiti. Music is music, and
we' re here to give the people
what they want. So we'd like to
encourage the local punk bands.
But it's like encouraging a
cobra.' '
The WOW Hall used to rent to
any group that wanted to perform
there. But that policy has been
changed. Now the hall has more
control over the some of the activities, the security, and mainly
the a-0vertising for the shows.
Lebow tells a story that explains
why.
"We rented the hall to a band
that used posters to advertise ..
.The posters pictured the band
standing in front of a wall that
was covered with graffiti . So they

played the gig, and the next morning the place was covered with
graffiti .
"We don't want to be like
police, we just need to protect the
hall,'' explains Lebow . Among
the obvious reasons for wanting
to protect the building are other
considerations. Image is one of
them : ' ' We have to go to the city
and ask for money, or to the
county, the state. . .if they see
the hall with 'Fuck SPAM ' written
on it, we might not get needed
funding.'' He stresses that
"most other performers don't
want to be associated with that
image."
Since the WOW Hall is one of
the very few places in town that
will allow punk groups to play, it
seems ironic that the some people
in punk audiences may be causing the hall extra trouble.
One local member of an
"alternative music" (punk) band
claims he knows who the
perpetrators of 80 per cent of the
SPAM graffiti are.,
"It's a young couple that's
moving to Portland soon, so that
might give them the incentive to
leave their mark around town.''
But why SPAM?
'· SPAM is to meat what fiberboard is to wood,'' says one Art
Maggot.
A Xerox artist attempted to explain -- "Maybe it represents a
time when Twinkies were advertised as being nutritous, a narrow
minded era of commercialism and
conservatism. So maybe in light
of the current administration they
figure it's Nixon and Eisenhower
rolled into one and 'here we go
again .. . ' ' '
But why write anything on any
wall?
Graffiti drawing dates back at
least to Pompeii. The graffiti in
Eugene speaks for itself.
Youth on the loose . . . the truth
hurts worse as graffiti . .. and the
one that everybody already knew ,
Kids these days . ..

Nursing applications due
by Paula Case
of The TORCH

Out of 180 applicants , LCC admits only 110 to the nursing programs each year.
The Licensed Practical Nurse
and the Registered Nursing application packets are available in
the admissions office until March
27 . A spokesman from the ad missions office urges students to apply as soon as possible to insure
sufficient time to process the application.
To apply for the p~ograms a
s~udent must have a high .s.chool
d1pl~ma or a GED cert1f1ca~e.
receive an average score of five

Chances are, you didn't go to college to get
a promotion in the Army. But your associate's degree
actually entitles you to enter the Army as an E3.
(That's two pay grades above the regular entry level.)
And it's a surprisingly good way to put your degree to
work for you.
Thetechnologythroughouttoday'smodem
Army is increasingly complex, and we need intelligent, self-disciplined people for two--year enlistments.
In the Army, you'll find thatthesamequali-ties that helped you earn your
degree will lead to even greater
recognition and rewards.

enlistment. Later, in civilian life, you may be surprised to discover just how smart you were to combine
two years of Army with an associate's degree.
Remember, only the Army offers you a
two--year enlistment option wi~h all the benefits of military life (including generous educational assistance).
To take advantage of one of the best and
quickest ways to serve your country as you serve your-self, call toll free, 800-421-4422. In California, call

Photos and story by Jeff Saint

Ever wonder what happens to that empty
tuna can after it's discarded in this area it
will probably eventually end up at the Glenwood Refuse disposal site.
At that point it's destination depends on
whether or not it was prepared for recycling. If not, it ends up buried under tons of
waste in the landfill. If it is recycled, it may
end up as part of a skyscraper.
BRING, a recycling agency that's been
active in Eugene since 1970, has a recycling facility at Glenwood. There they retrieve
glass, metal, paper products, petroleun
products, old batteries, tires, worn out
clothes and fabric, discarded furniture and
toys. . .almost anything that people are
willing to sort out and put in it's proper
place.
· But where does it all go from there?
Ken Sandusky, manager of BRING, explains what happens to some of the
recyclable materials.
"Tin" cans that are flattened and left at
the Glenwood site are sent to Metal Reduction Inc. in Seattle. There they are put
through a "detinning" process. For every
ton of cans detinned only eight pounds of
tin is retrieved, which will probably be used to manufacture new cans. The rest of
the metal, steel, will be used in other cans,
bearings, etc., and in concrete foundation
reinforcement bars. So, as Sandusky puts
it, "Today's dog food can may be tommorow's skyscraper."
Glass is sorted by color; green, brown
and clear. The glass is crushed at Glenwood by machines BRING just finished installing in the last few months.
Sandusky claims·the new crushers save
BRING 263 eight-hour working days per
year. Before, BRING. employees could fill
eight 55-gallon barrels by hand in an hour,
while the machines fill 50 barrels-per hour.
The crushed glass is sent to Owens Illinois Company in Portland where it is
recrushed to the consistency of sand. The

crushed glass, called cullet, is mixed with
virgin materials ~nd made into new glass.
The company. saves $250,000 a year by
using 50 percent cul let compared to the 1O
percent they used three years ago.
Most of the green glass will end up at
Gallow Wine Company in California, while
the brown will become beer bottles and the
clear will make I. V. bottles and other containers.
Paper products are seperated into
several grades. The highest grade of paper
is found in computer punch cards and printout sheets, followed by lower grades of
envelope and typing paper, colored ledger
paper, and ne_wsprint. Egg cartons and
waxed milk cartons go directly to the landfill -- they can't be recycled.
Recycled paper will usually drop a grade
pecause the process includes steaming,
which shrinks the paper fibers.
Most cardboard is sent to Menasha Corporation in Coos Bay where it will be
pulped and used for the inner veneer of
cardboard sheets. Jhe other paper is sent
to Northwest Fibers, a local company.
Recycled aluminum is the biggest energy
saver there is. It is the second most energy
intensive product -- . plastic heads the
category. Recycling aluminum saves 95-97
percent more energy than refining boxite
ore, the raw material used to make it.
Eighty-three percent of the oil brought to
Glenwood is re-refined, most of it refined
into number 2 heating oil. It doesn 'f matter
what kind of oil; auto oil, hydraulic oil,
machine oil, it will all work. Some of it goes
to Automatic Heat Company in Eugene,
some goes to New Way Oil Company in

Portland. The remaining 17 percent of the
oil is used for dust control on roads.
Tires rise to the surface of landfills,
causing unlimited problems. So Scientific
Developments in Eugene collects the tires
and grinds them up to make shock pads for
playgrounds, cheap running tracks and
wheel blocks for aircraft. Since old tires
have a limited application, Scientific
Developments charges a fee to take the
tires away.
Scrap metals -- copper, brass,
·aluminum, bronze, lead, (the primary
valuable material in batteries) -- are sold
locally to Seslers.
Sandusky notes that there is getting to
be more competition in the recycling
business, driving the prices up and making it easier for BRING to survive. He said
the bottle bills in states like Oregon make it
more difficult for recycling enterprenours,
since it causes a break in the 'flow line.'
BRING is now 87 percent self-sufficient,
a great improvement over the three years
ago when that figure was ·only 42 percent.
The remaining funds needed to operate are
provided by a direct cash subsidy from
Lane County.

The TORCH February 1·9 --'S , 1981 Page 9

LCC students
land CWE
jobs abroad
by Kay Ullman
for The TORCH
Seven LCC students have been
accepted for work abroad this
summer through the Cooperative
Work Experience Program .
One student will be working
with the medical staff in a hospital
for handicapped children in the
Canary lsalnds. It's the only unpaid job of the seven positions
that an LCC students will fill.
Another will labor clearing
underbrush and helping with
reforestation in Germany's Black
Forest.
Others will be working for
Migros Markt Raetia, a supermarket chain in Switzerland .
Some LCC students have
always been able to live and work
in other countries because an instructor had personal contacts.
Now it's not a matter of knowing
someone who knows someone.
But LCC is now associated with
Pacific Northwest International
lntercultural Education Consortium which assembles a wide
rage of jobs for American
students. Arranging for work permits in the countries where jobs
are available is one of the ways
the consortium helps the
students.
At LCC, Peggy Marston is the
contact person with the consortium. "Most of the companies
have hired US students before
and are very helpful,'' she says
of her first efforts to place
students.
Although over 100 jobs in Germany, Switzerland and the
Canary Islands were available
from which Oregon and
Washington students could
choose this year, less than half
have been filled, she said.
One reason may be the
language requirement: Students
must be fluent in the language
spoken in the country where
they 'll work. In future years the
consortium hopes to list more
jobs in English-speaking countries .
Dr. Gunter Seefeldt, the consortium's European job
developer, will be on campus in
April to assist the seven students
with their planning and job
preparations. He will visit with
them again this summer when
they are on the job.
receive
Students will
Cooperative Work Experience
credit for their work . Marston
says , "Students who go will be
required to submit a paper to
document what they have done.''
They must set goals and explain
how they accomplished them.
She emphasizes that "this is
not a vacation.'' The students will
be working very hard, she says.

Respiratory Therapy students sought
There are only two associate
degree Respiratory Therapy (RT)
programs in the state of Oregon,
one at LCC and one at Mt. Hood
Community College. So w,Iy is
LCC 's program lacking applicants?
According to Douglas White,
chairman of the Health Occupations Department, it's because
people don't know what the
respiratory therapist does.
White feels that if the public
knew more about the occupation,
enrollment would increase.
The RT program is an allied

Presently, the first year of the
RT program at LCC is nonexistant. There just weren't
enough qualified program applicants to admit a first year
class.
To remedy the situation, White
is working to inform the public
about the RT' s job and about the
program at LCC.
The department is having an
open house Monday, Feb. 23, in
the Career Information Center in
the Center Building on campus.
Information on job availability, in-

come, and LCC curriculum will be
provided. A slide presentation will
also be shown.
Public service announcements,
radio broadcasts and other media
services will also be used to inform the public about the program. White hopes this will help
.~eople understand the RT's job

and that they will consider RT as
a career option.
White regretfully says that
unless enrollment increases for
next year, LCC's RT program may
have to be cut.
'' I'm hoping we get enough
qualified applicants. If not, my
recommendation to the Office of

Instruction would be to consider
very carefully whether or not the

one Trick Pony
Cinema 7
Recentty there has been an
onslaught of singers (especially
rock and roll singers) trying to
jump from the record charts to the
movie screen.
Some of the leaps have been
exceptionally successful (Bette
Midler was stunning in The
• Rose); some have been almost
embarrassingly painful (Neil Diamond's recent release The Jazz
Singer, for example). One Trick
Pony falls somewhere in between.
Paul Simon may well be one of
the most accurate bards of the
60s and ?Os, reflecting the shifting moods and causes of that
era. He is reknowned both as a
superb composer /lyricist and a
gifted singerI performer.
In One Trick Pony, he
showcases both talents (he wrote
the soundtrack and performs it in
the film) and adds another -- fortunately, Paul Simon is a very
good actor I comedian. Unfortunately, he also wrote the screen
play. He should have quit while
he was ahead.
One Trick Pony is the story of a
star of the 60s who gained
popularity through his war protest
songs. The scene is now the 80s,
and Jonah Levitt is no longer a
household (or recording agency)
name.
Levitt is in the midst Jf a wrenching identity crisis, one that
severs him to the core and
destroys his marriage, his self
esteem and his band. This is no
hardened veteran of acid rock and
the fast lane. As he poignantly explains to his wife, Jonah is "just
like Matty (their 5-year-old son)
-- only older.''

''. . .wiping off the greasy

meal and slop gravy on the table,
clean out the ashtrays, run back

they keep the tips."
''Man, if you hate this job so
much, why don't you just quit?''
"You kidding? I need the
bread ana_this here job is all there
is. Think I'd be in this dive if I
didn't have to be?''
Bus boys are the perfect symbol of suppression in the
American working culture. Right
down there with the car wash
help, ditchdiggers and office
boys, they take the flack and
barely get paid at all. They' re the
lowest ones on the totem pole, left
to grovel for a living.

work in the kitchen from eight to

The Bus Boys are six black men
who recently released their debut
album entitled Minimum Wage
Rock and Roll. Judging from the

look on the Bus Boy's face on the
cover, you can probably tell what
he thinks you should do with
those dirty dishes.
They pull all the punches, they
tell no lies. Pretty restaurant
fronts and all pretentions are torn
back to reveal the kitchen help in
an ugly mood. The eleven cuts an
the album are glaring with sarcastic overtones -- lousy jobs,
racial prejudice, the Klan, the
bomb, and general lack of respect
head the Bus Boy idealogy.
Five of the Bus Boys vocalize
on this album that features
keyboards, bass, guitar, synthesizers and drums. Two
memtlers, Brian and Kevin
O'Neil, mixed and produced the
set, and also take credit for
writing all the lyrics.
The temper of the music is
realistic. Being black, the
members of the group know all
too well of being put down, and it
shows in the music they play.

power anymore and so the
business is in the process of
dumping him. He plays the sanie
clubs he's been playing for the
last 15 years, he blows interviews
with top re.cording executives and
even concedes to appear in one of
those oldie-but-goodie revivals
the record industry puts out every
so often.
Throughout all of it, he is ripped by the destruction of his
family. He still loves his wife,
Marion (portrayed nicely by Blair
Brown) and she still loves him.
But no one can stand a sinking
ship -- she wants him to give up
music and '' get a job'' -- the prospect of which is like nails in the
coffin to Jonah.
He has an affair with the record
exec's wife, who manages to
fanagle a recording contract for
him (no connection , we're led to
believe).
He cuts a really good tune, only
to have it raped and pillaged by
an ambitious young producer who
is reputed to have good "AM
ears.''
The ending is really no surprise
-- aside from the fact that the audience is left whispering, '' Is that
the end?" I felt Ii ke I saw what
could have been an excellent
movie if someone else had collaborated with Simon screenplay
end.
The first 15 minutes are
superb, thanks to good pacing,
funny lines and a hilarious scene
in which a teen-age groupie gets
Jonah into a tub with her and then
commences to sing her version of
'' Bobbie Mcgee.·'
There are scenes in which
Simon so clearly communicates
the agony of ·'Identity versus
Relationship" that we recognize
ourselves on the screen; those
scenes with Brown are flawless.
But such gems are buried
under a lot of grime. The filler is
a killer. Miles and miles of the

arguing, lots of smoky nightclubs

weekend) and lot's of Jonahlooks-so-lost-these-days. Boring .

Gaby's old enemy, Gene the
rapist (whose full name, by the
way, is Eugene Springfield). They
must at the same time combat
their own personal weaknesses,
which sometimes lead them into
situations as deadly as any Gaea
can devise.
The journey through Gaea is a
journey to self-hood, as most
quests are. "I don't believe in
heroes anymore, " Chris says
when he tells of Gaea at the trip's
conclusion. '' I just believe in people coping with their lives the
best they can.''
Nevertheless, he has exchanged his self-pity for self-respect
and has taken on a herioc dimension. Robin has learned to look at
her own society with the same
critical eye she applies to the
patriarchy. Her quest leads her to
recapture a sense of honor that is
not based on keeping up appearances, an honor which allows
her to be human.
The trip that Robin, Chris, Gaby
and Cirocco undertake is one as
rich in imagery as in action. Gaea
has deserts like foothills, and arctic regions which freeze your

has green-feathered angels; fullsize King Kong;and the Titanides.

Gene.tic control: a tvvo edged svvord
by George Wagner
of The TORCH

Editor's note: This is the second
article in a two part series on
Eugenics.

From 1905 to 1932 a great deal
of scientific theory and political
legislation was based on the idea
that man inherits traits such as
poverty,
alcholism,
feeblemindedness, and criminal
behavior. This belief led many intellectuals to conclude that there
was nothing to be done for such
people -- they needed to be phased out, they were obsolete.
When this belief was disproved
intellectuals switched to the other
side of the fence and began to
blame social ills on environment.
When Charles Whitman climbed a tower in a Texas city and
shot 35 people, reporters wagged
their heads in contempt for the
state of Texas. When Jordanian
immigrant Sirhan Sirhan shot
Robert Kennedy, the immediate
indictments voiced by media personalities concerned what a sick
society America was.
In the courts today, responsibility for actions takes second
place to the belief that criminals
are pitiful victims of society.
Despite all of this emphasis on
environment, we have a glut of
habitual criminals walking the
street; lawlessness is epidemic.
the environmentalist's uitopian
dream has become a nightmare
and the pendulum may be swinging back the other way.
Sociobiologists such as Pulitzer
Prize winner Edward Wilson have
combined environmental and
hereditary determinism in an attempt to understand human
behavior. Wilson describes socio-biology as ''the systematic study
of the biological basis of all social
behavior. . .We're suggesting
that there is a mechanism which
one sees driving evolution continuously around the circuit;
genetic change, cultural change,
genetic change and so on.''
INTERNALIZING THE STRUGGLE
In recent years research has
moved more and more towards internal rehabilitation.
In the past few decades
thousands of Americans diagnosed as incurable or anti-social
were given frontal lobotomies,
usually against their will.
Shock treatment were also
widely used.
When these methods began to
wane in popularity, drugs became
the hopeful cure for mental and
social "illness."
Depressant drugs are used in
institutions and asylums as a
means of keeping patients
manageable. The fact that the

hallucinogenic drugs on college
campuses where studies could be
made of the effect on a large section of the population. In conjunction with this, many asylums and
institutes reduced patients to unwitting guinea pigs in their quest
to cure such horrible diseases as
'' anti-social behavior'' and the
Law Enforcement Assistance Administration provided grants "to
develop a technique by which
violent people could be identified. ••
UTOPIA OR BUST
The swing towards internal
solutions to the problems of
human behavior was an open invitation for geneticists to wash
their robes and enter back into a
role of social respectability.
No one can deny the benefits
that have come from this new
surge in the field of genetic
research. Many hereditary
diseases may soon be alleviated.
But knowledge is a two-edged
sword; it can cut both ways. Any
potential that has a capacity for
good has an equal potential for
doing bad. Sheep do not go about
doing a gr.eat deal of good but
then they also don't seek to do a
great deal of evil either. They are
limited by their potential. While
they may eat an occasional flower
bed they can be easily restrained
by fenced areas. But what is being used to restrain science so it
doesn't consume the flower-of .our
humantty? •
Scientiftc potentta1 is awesome.
And in keeping with the
~ugenics movement . of 1905, .
mooern science is -retying tteavily__
upon law. Each new discovery i$
being followed by corresponding
legistative act~.
•Now· that there is the ability _to
keep the human body alive by use

an artificial womb and then sold
or loaned to those who met the
necessary requirements.
If that doesn't work Crick says,
'' It would not be very difficult for
a government to put something in
our food so that nobody could
have children. Then possibly they
could provide another chemical
that would reverse the first, and
only people licensed to bear
children would be given the second chemical."
Nobel laureate Linus Pauling
says babies should have their
genotype tatooed on their
forehead so they won't fall in love
with the wrong genotypes.
In 1979 Carter laid the ground
work which may eventually give
legal authority to government
social workers to monitor childraising techniques in all American
homes. It is not completely unwarranted to wonder if much of
the '' child rights·' movement
may be intended not only to
emancipate children from parental authority but to transfer the
guardianship of their rights to the
hands of those who wish to build
a new world.
What kind of a new world this
will be is anybody's guess. But
many leading scientists and
behavioralists would like it to be a
world of automatons.
Behavioral psychologist B. F.
Skinner says, humankinds
"abolition has long been overdue . . . to man we readily say
good riddance. Only by
dispossessing him can we turn to
the real cause of human behavior.
Only then can we turn from the in-

ferred to the observed, from the
miraculous to the natural, from
the inaccessible to the
manipulable.''
Edward Wilson believes the
evolutionary progress should be
one of selective breeding, genetic
engineering, and finally a cloning
of the perfect stock.
Adding to the uncertainty of
resisting this movement is the
fact that major factions in our
society are striving to destroy all
traditional values and to get us to
throw ourselves blindly upon th~
confidence of scientists, politicians and social planners.
Regretfully, little serious dialogue
is taking place concerning what
will happen to a world where
anything is possible and there are
no moral or ethical restraints outside of the organization that can
bring the powers that be to account to the people.
Instead, the public is being
media-blitzed by a lot of "hurrah
for the future" terminology but
not much substance we can
ponder on or acquiesce.
If there's no meaning in it,"
said the king, •'that saves a
