Experts converge at
Bloomberg dump
Editorial by Heidi Swillinger
and Ron Kelley
of The TORCH
In mid February, when the
TORCH reported the presence of
animal carcasses and what appeared to be chemicals at the
Bloomberg Road dump, we were
unaware of the controversy our
concerns would later generate.
In the interests of good journalism, our in~:rntions are to address a possible hazardous situation and to answer questions raised by a complex, yet important
subject -- toxic waste disposal.
According to a 1979 congressional survey, potentially hazardous wastes may have been
dumped at the Bloomberg landfill
between 1956 and 1960.
Mercury, lead, arsenic, dioxins, pesticides, PCBs, and herbicides were listed as some
possible contaminants at the site,
which was then owned and
operated by Lane County.
The survey, as well as our expressed concern about the
presence of carcasses and possible chemical contaminants raised
serious questions prompting us to
investigate the safety of the entire
dump area.
The City of Eugene now owns
the dump site and currently uses
a small fenced-off pit as a
disposal site for grit, the rock settlement from cleaning sewers.

This pit was reported to contain
contents resembling chemicals.
The animal carcasses were
photographed on adjacent
hillsides.
Shortly after we published this
information, the carcasses disappeared and the city covered the
pit and dug a new one. City officials who investigated the area
two weeks after the article was
printed say they never saw any
carcasses, or evidence of
chemicals in the pit that was
buried.
According to city officials, our
investigation generated enough
public concern ( ranging from
private citizens to city council
members) that on Monday, April
13, they took samples of area
surface water for '' routine testing
for leachates" (resurfaced contaminants).
City land at Bloomberg consists
of the current pit site, an elevated
area the size of a football field;
• and the old dump site -- located
below the pit -- which slopes
gently downward over an area of
approximately 20 acres.
The samples taken Monday
were gathered by City Chemical
Engineer Doug Cook and Mike
Turner, a Lane County Solid
Waste Division staff member. Two
samples were taken: one toward
the bottom of the old dump site
and the other about 500 feet
away, in marshes below the site.
The samples are being tested
for alkalinity, conductivity, hardness, chlorides, nitrates, iron,
copper. cadmium, arsenic and
lead.
The surface water tests. says
Turner, are all that is necessary
to determine the presence of
leachates. He contends that
because the soil at Bloomberg is
composed largely of clay, old
chemicals, if they are present,
would move through the soil in a
horizontal manner and eventually
show up in surface water. Other
city and county officials agree.
Says Cook, •'Anything in the land
fill should show up in surface

water.··

However, we have contacted
specialists who believe that
samples taken by the city are inadequate in fully determining
whether or not conditions at
Bloomberg may be hazardous.
Jack Mrowka, geomorhydrologist,
phologist,
geographer and assistant professor of geography at the University of Oregon, says several
samples of soil water from the
dump site should be tested.
He says if chemicals are present in the clay soil, the ''through
flow·· (the movement of subsurface water through soil)
.should be sampled: . Ghemicals,

he says, "may not show up at the
surface. . .The surface water
tests may not reflect the soil
water contained here.''
During dry periods, he says,
clay will crack. When rains come,
however, water will rapidly infiltrate the cracks and may reach
contaminated sub-surface water,
if it's present, raising it vertically
to the earth· s surface.
For accuracy, he says
"delayed flow" (water that infiltrates the soil and takes a long
period of time to resurface)
should be tested. For the most
accurate results, that should be
done during a dry spell, he says,
because rainfall will greatly dilute
the measureable amount of contaminants if they are pre ent. The
samples gathered by the city on
Monday were taken after a rainy
period.
"If you wait until the dry
season," Mrowka says, "you're
going to get samples that reflect
water either coming out of the soil
or ground water which will have
higher concentrations of any
material being dissolved in that
water.··
Craig Reece concurs. Reece,
chemist and the Environmental
Health Officer at the U of O,
supervises disposal of chemical
wastes and hazardous materials
for the college. He says, ''The
soil in some manner has to be
tested. It· s common to do soil
testing in any kind of environmental monitoring.'·
Reece says there are two main
categories of chemicals -- organic
and inorganic. Those that are inorganic are generally more soluble than organic chemicals, and
may show up in surface overflow
water, which is what the city
tested.
But organic chemicals a·re more
likely to settle out of the watery
solution into the soil they travel
through. "PCBs," he says, "will
sit a lot longer in the soil,·' -- an
example illustrating his contention that soil testing is critical.
Both Mrowka and Reece
believe to adequately test surface
water flow, a control sample
above the site being tested must
be taken to compare with .a second sample gathered below the
site in question. The control sample (run on) reflects the inherent
qualities of the water. The second
sample (run off) determines if
contaminants were picked up by
control water passing through the
dump site.
The city collected the two
samples thousands of feet below
the grit pit, and below a major
portion of the old dump site.

Health Director John Stoner says

"nothing alarming" has appeared in the samples "so far."
CONTROVERSY
Obviously, the situation at the
Bloomberg Road dump site is a
confusing one. There are also
some areas of major controversy.
One such area is the congress ion a I survey that says
Bloomberg could be a hazardous
waste site. Cook says, ''Our experience with EPA reports is that
they are put together in a limited
amount of time and are subject to
interpretation.'· However Cook
and other officials have yet to prove our interpretations of the
survey wrong.
Similarly, some officials question the seriousness of conditions
at Bloomberg Road. John Stoner
says waste from households,
businesses, and industries were
dumped at Bloomberg 20 years
ago. But, he says, "We did not
knowingly allow disposal of any
toxic waste," however, "Our
control factors were limited.
Anyone could drive in there and
dump."
Stoner says "It's an old dump
site and we· re going to have to
keep an eye on it. But, he says, at
this point, '' I don't feel alarmed
about it." He adds though, "We
have to monitor it. Maybe
something will come up that will
cause me to change my mind.·'
An additional controversy may
soon be cleared. On Wednesday,
April 15, DEQ official Daryl
Johnson invited us to meet with
him and various city officials at
the dump site to point out the
areas in question.
We willingly complied. Unfortunately, the evidence, as mentioned before, is gone. The pit
has been buried over. The carcasses have disappeared, a
phenomenon "We're as lost
about as you,·· say officials. ''We
have not had any of our personnel
remove any carcasses from the
area," they say. One official suggests the possibility that
predators may have consumed
the remains of the dozen carcasses. Out of myriad explanations for their mysterious disappearances, that could be one
possibility.
At this point, neither the city
nor the TORCH will ever find out
how the animals died, why their
bopies wer~.f~und at Bloomberg,

or to what haven their carcasses
vanished.
But in our opinion, Wednesday's meeting at the dump site
was extremely productive. City
officials have tentatively scheduled for Friday, April 17, the excavation of the old pit where
witnesses originally saw what appeared to be chemicals.
Cook has indicated, however,
that no soil will be tested at the
excavated site unless city officials
necessary.
it
consider
·'Necessary'' means the
presence of unusual odors, colors, or any visual evidence that
chemicals were indeed present.
'' It would be ridiculous,·· said
one official, "to put expense into
(such) a test otherwise.'·
Fair enough. We appreciate the
cooperation of the city in this matter and would like to extend our
thanks.
Currently, however, our major
concerns address the adequacy
of only testing surface water.
While city and county officials
believe only surface water needs
to be tested at this time, the
specialists we interviewed believe
the contrary. Under such circumstances, we too are concerned that testing of surface water
samples is inadequate and that at
the very least, soil tests are in
order.

No HB 2376
To the Editor:

In other words, "law" must be

it follows that we must not only be
able to know the "law" as a
sum-certain but we must be able
to implement, or if you please,

impartial, administrative process

The initial beneficiary
devastation is Northwest Christian College (NCC), owner of the
100 acres immediately to the
soutr, of campus. NCC was paid
$50,000 for the timber rights by a
Sweethome timber firm, Clear
Lumber Company . Like most
educational institutions, NCC has
been experiencing financial woes
and had been seeking to make
money off the property for some
time. LCC was offered an option
to purchase the land last year for
roughly $300,000.
The lumber company will not be
able to see any profit from their
chain-saw activity until later in
the summer when they plan to cut
a new logging road into the property and haul out the downed
trees. Finally, even though LCC
may look to be on the loser's side
of the table in a fast game of
natural resource multiple-use, it
is possible future students will
turn out to be the ultimate
beneficiaries.
There was an attempt on the
part of several concerned
students and two LCC instructors
to halt or at least mitigate the
devastation on the campus
border. Unfortunately, the lumber
company moved in so quickly and
efficiently that there was very little time to even begin negotiations
before much of the timber was
down.
"There's no way to save that
ridge now, " says Jay Marston,
biology instructor in the LCC
Science Department. ''What we
want to try to do at this point is
save the habitat, all the other
trees and plants that will be affected by this operation. ''
Both NCC and Clear Lumber
Co. have expressed a desire to
" act out a good neighbor policy "
towards LCC regarding environmental impact. Marston and
LCC math instructor Robert
Thompson have spent the last
three days looking for compromises in the ecology vs.
economy conflict. Don Podrabsky, an official with Clear
Lumber, has been having private
discussions with the two instructors.
'' Don has been most
cooperative ... going out of his
way to talk with concerned individuals,'' says Thompson.
"Primarily I'm concerned with
erosion effects onto adjacent LCC
property. Also the basic geologic
instablity of the area and the
visual aesthetics. But it looks like
we' II be able to work something
out.''
Marston concurs with Thompson ·s optimistic appraisal.

point high up the public drive on
the east side of campus. This will
slice 1 1/2 miles from the company's access route and save
Clear Lumber many thousands of
dollars in construction costs. The
LCC board may act on this proposal as early as May 6, according to Dean of Administrative
Services Bill Berry.
Several individuals have expressed concern over the noise
and dust from log trucks rumbling across campus this summer.
Traffic congestion, and the steeply winding, narrow road leading
down to 30th Avenue also pose
potential problems for LCC
students.
Even with the disadvantages,
Marston 's personal feeling is that
allowing the log trucks to cut
across campus is a good idea.
" We'd be better off from a conservation view point, '' Marston
explains. " If we don 't let them
they' II have to increase their
road-building and ultimately
cause a lot more disruption to the
area.''
Marston adds that Clear
Lumber apparently has plans to
begin reforesting the clear-cut
areas next spring .
Immediate Impact
Marston feels the understanding reached should save all the
cedar (including incense cedar),
oak and pine plus a few of the
larger douglas fir on the property.
But he has a more immediate concern in the form of a delicate
species of potentially endangered
wildflower called the 'Lady's
Slipper.'
''This plant is on the watch-list
for endangered species,'' he
says. "Calypso Bulbosa has a
very specialized environment and
the largest patches of them
arouna were in the clear cut
area.''
The beautiful but frail wild or-

chid requires the deep, moist
shelter of mature forest to thrive.
The patches on the hillside quickly began wilting when they were
suddenly exposed to the sun this

week.
A group of LCC studednts are
attempting to transplant as many
of the Lady's Slippers as they can
to a "buffer zone" of untouched

douglas fir on the southwest edge
of campus. Marston states
there's no way of knowing for a
year whether or not the plants will
survive the transition, but he is
worried the new environment will
still be too exposed.
There is also a rare species of
woodpecker living in the fir
forest. These birds may now have·
trouble finding new homes within
the dwindling stands of fir around
Eugene.
Once the dust has settled and
the last log truck has rolled off,
the area will begin to undergo a
drastic process of change,
hopefully to emerge as a more
park-like setting adjacent to campus. Marston and Thompson 's
efforts should begin to bear fruit
as the trees that were spared take
advantage of their suddenly increased share of sunlight and
water.
"The road they' re proposing
will be properly banked and graded and designed to minimize runoff erosion,'' says Marston. '' It
should make a good permanent
access road in the future.''
The debate over clear-cutting
stands of pristine forest will continue throughout the northwest,
even if the question has become
academic for the fir trees behind
LCC. Right now the devastation is
a sad sight, but the land should
begin to heal once the downed
trees are hauled out. If the conservation policies being discussed are successful, in a few years
students may be lucky enough to
still find a beautiful -- although
very different -- world waiting on
top of the hill.

The toughest job
you'll ever love

We admit it. It takes a different kind of person to be a Peace Corps Volunteer.
We won't mislead you with glowing pictures of exotic lands. The hours as a volunteer are long. The pay is modest. And the frustrations sometimes seem overwhelming.
But the satisfactions and rewards are immense. You'll be immersed in a new culture,
become fluent in a new language, and learn far more about yourself than you ever
expected.
You'll also discover that progress in the Peace Corps is measured in small accomplishments. Such as rural health clinics established in Kenya . -Irrigation systems built in
Upper Volta . Fresh-water fish ponds started in the Philippines . .
The progress may seem modest , but to people in developing nations who have
never bEfore had clean drinking water, basic
health care, or enough to eat, the Peace Corps
brings a message of hope and change.
We invite you to look into the volunteer
opportunities beginning this year in 65
developing nations. See our representatives
for details.

W. University area ·reports
decrease in crifl'1e rate
by Marty Schwarzbauer
of The TORCH
While crime seems to be constantly on the rise all over the
country, a group of concerned
neighbors in Eugene have
loped a _program which they
deve_
feel 1s showing signs of success
in reversing this trend.
University
West
The
Neighborhood Association
(WUNA) reports that as a result of
their neighborhood watch and
other programs, there has been a
significant decrease in the types
of crimes these programs have
focused on : residential burglaries
and sex crimes .
In a 66 page booklet distributed
at no cost by WUNA, it is reported
that the number of residential
burglaries has decreased from
151 in 1978, to 98 in 1980. According to Harold Lannum, who
lives in the neighborhood and also
helped draw up the charter and
booklet , there has been a program of installing dead-bolt locks
in homes which didn't have them
leaving porch lights on all night t~
help light the streets, and increased resident awareness of
what goes on in the
neighborhood . He claims that
because of the unusually large
percentage of homes where all
adults in the household hold jobs ,
there is an equally large percentage of homes with no one home
for large portions of the day ,
resulting in large number of
daytime residential burglaries .
The same report states that the
number of sex crimes has
decreased from 19 in 1978 to
four in 1980 . However, other
types of crimes , which have not
come under the program ·s focus ,
have shown , in some cases , a
sharp increase . Non-residential
burglaries have almost tripled
over the two year period , as have
the number of incidences of •
shoplifting, while bicycle and
other thefts have almost doubled.
Car thefts, interestingly , have
decreased almost 50 percent.
Lannum claims that while the
rate of increase has been lower
than that of the rest of Eugene 's
crime statistics, the actual
number of crimes , and the ratio of
crimes per household remain
50-80 percent higher than the
rest of the city .
Lannum says that when WUNA
started four years ago, they conducted a survey to see what the
residents wanted done with their
neighborhood , then attempted to
address these issues realistically .
The city of Eugene organized a
planning team of six residents of
the neighborhood , representing
!he following interests: Sacred
Heart Hospital , NCC Christian
College , University of Oregon ,
University business area ,
downtown business area , and
neighborhood churches . E.ach
faction was assigned one

TORCH Office.

representative. Later, the team
was increased to seven, adding a
representative from the South
University area, because, according to Hannum, "it relates well
.to our area ..' '
At the • beginning, residents
were concerned with crime
noise, parking, and quality of
housing . All these issues have
been confronted at one time or
other, but , Lann um feels that " in
the four years since we started ,
we 've made more progress in
reduction of crime than anything
else ."
Among neighborhood leaders in
the crime prevention program are
Charlotte Lemon , Andre Tudor ,
and Pam Ford . Lemon recently
won a state award for citizens
voluntarily working toward crime
prevention , and is crime prevention chairperson for WUNA. Ford
is WUMA crime prevention coordinator, and Tudor is leading a
neighborhood campaign to bring
under control the transient problem in the area.
Tudor, who lives across the
street from the park at 14th and
Hilyard, has conducted a series of
meetings with neighbors concerned with abuse of the park. He
claims that there have been in cidents of sexual harrassment ,
threats of violence, vandalism ,
noise, and obscenity from the
transients who •'take over' · the
park every summer . Dozens of
letters have been solicited from
residents of the immediate area
around the park, which will be
submitted to the city in an attempt
to get cooperation in making the
park safe, quiet , and clean for the
people who live there, and who
built the park in the first place.
Tudor , Ford, and Lannum all
report excellent community
response to efforts in organizing
the neighborhood , and are confident the problems will work out to
the resident ·s satisfaction . They
would like to try to avoid involving
the police in the problems , and
whenever possible try to deal with
issues themselves. '' When
there 's something wrong, its up
to the neighbors to do
something, '' says Ford .
Other things WUNA plans to
propose to the city include:
• restructuring of bicycle traffic
in the University area,
• narrowing of some streets ,
and closing off of others to make
the area '' a little homier.' '
• changing of some of the
area 's one way streets to direct
some of the busy traffic away
from the University area .
• new streetlight poles to bring
tile lights down below the trees .
This would provide for better
lighting for pedestrians at night ,
thus cutting down on some of the
rapes and assaults which occur
on dark streets .
Lannum feels that WUNA has
achieved some success in mak ing
the neighborhood a little nicer for
aarea residen ts, and WU NA now
plans a proposal to im prove commu nications networks between

Twelfth
Story by B
Photos by Bi
" I look into a mirror," says actor Chet Arens , " and
it '·s someone else, a real Elizabethan nobleman. Now I
am Antonio.' '

To be near the LCC Performing Arts Department during four days in April Is to be transported back to an
Elizabethan festival of comedy and fun , and to the
Globe Theatre of William Shakespeare's day.
During these four days Queen Elizabeth I arrives at
the theatre entrance and, seeing a troupe of singers
and dancers performing on the nearby green, happily
joins in . The music and laughter are loud, merry
mountebanks (quacks) harangue the arriving theatregoers to buy the patent medicines; vendors hawk
oranges.
The troupe and the crowd move past red and yellow
streamers and into the theatre to see Will
Shakespeare's new play, ".Twelfth Night, _or What You
Will." When the Queen seats herself in the royal box ,
,t •s the signal for the show to begin.
In Elizabethan England ' ·theatre was a festival, ' ·
says LCC Director Tom Lasswell. "Shakespeare is a
tremendously rich theatrical tradition,'· and Lasswell
wants his LCC audience to experience that richness. '' I
want the audience to enjoy the play and to want to see
more Shakespeare. · '
LCC 's productions are scheduled for this weekend,
April 17 and 18, and next April 22 through 25.

Perhaps the audience will also feel Elizabethan.
Authentic costumes and music make it happen from the
pre-show activities and into the production. Outside ,
''On The Green,' ' gayly clad musicians playing violins,
a mandolin, drums and horn, repeat the popular ballads
of the Renaissance -- '· About love and life, living and
dying. Just like today 's music,'' says Assistant Dirctor
David Honig.
"Meeting the audience outside," he adds, "all
dressed in costumes, babbling in dialects,
mountebanks harangue the crowd almost to the
screaming point -- all moving into the theatre and right
into the action of the play. This is the way it was done
back then.''
At intermission •'Orange sellers and even a
·cut-purse' or two, mingling with the crowd under the
medieval banners out in the lobby allow the milling people tc;> be a part of it all," adds Honig. "There will be
madrigal singers also, singing the traditional songs in
five or six parts. The entertainment never ends.''

In The Mirror: Real Elizabethans
Attending the English theatre 400 years ago was a
festivity for the poor as well as for royalty. And attending a Shakespearean play today can still be a festival
with its '' old world '' pagentry and rich costuming.
were
then
used
costumes
'' The
·hand-me-downs ,' •• says Lasswell, '' clothes from
the richer patron . And therefore, most were a few years
out of style. A play of the times, 1602 in this case , was
costumed in clothing from 1590 or so.' '
To re-create this style , costumer Alexandra Bonds
has acquired costumes and fabrics from local theatre
wardrobes and from Byrons of Los Angeles , selecting
colors and materials that accurately depict the fashion
and also tie the characters and action together.

The Plot: Twists, Impersonations
John Duncan, who plays the Duke Orsino, reminds
us that '' Shakespeare wrote the play about the twelfth
night festival of the Christmas season" when
Elizabethans partied -- like during a Mardi Gras. It's a
time for ' ' . . . people running around, pretending to be
what they're not. It 's 'dress-up day, ' everyone gets to
pretend .··
And the fact that the popular comedies of the era
were replete with complicated twists and trickery
makes '' Twelfth Night' · truly a festival of irreverence, a
" celebration of misrule ," as director Lasswell calls it.
Shakespeare 's story has the Duke Orsino desperately in love with Ol ivia, who seems too busy mourning the
death of her brother to care. Viola , (played by Martha

Gamble) wears men 's clothing in order to gain employment , and using the name Cesario , is hired by the Duke
to pay court to Olivia on his behalf.
Olivia, rejecting Orsino, falls in love with Cesario ,
while Cesario has fallen in love with the Duke , Orsino.
Adding to the confusion and merriment is Sir Toby
Belch, Olivia 's fun-loving uncle; Feste the fool ; and
Sebasstian, Cesario' s twin brother .
Shakespeare uses the maid Maria, played by Chilton
Peterson, as an on-stage director of mischief. With the
help of Sir Toby, she and others set up the tricks that
deflate the pompous and ill-tempered steward,
Malvolio, played by James Robinson.
Classic Globe Theatre
"The stage setting is the twentieth century's idea of
what the classic Shakespearean setting should be
like,'' says Honing, gesturing during a rehearsal at the
courtyard-like area where the action takes place, and at
the two-story edifice that serves as a backdrop. Stage
and lighting Director David Sherman has brought to the
LCC stage a set conforming to historian's impressions
of the original Swan and Globe Theatres. ''
Knowing the Characters
Shakespeare's plays were written in such a way that
the actors could take each part and ' ' run with it,' ' says
Lasswell, meaning they can develop the ideas
Shakespeare has penned for them . "Shakespeare is
the Olympics of theatre , requiring all of the actor's skill
and talent. ''
And every actor and every director sees the 400 yearold " Twelfth Night " differently, thinks Lasswell.
"Every night (during rehearsals) we found something
new. The depth and shadings of Shakespeare 's people
is tremendously rich .''
Chet Arens , who plays Antonio , says '' The words
sometimes were uncomfortable to us . We wou ld read
them but cou ldn't understand what the mean ing was.
Lasswell had us do an updated improvisational on a

scene -- he had us do it with modern words, modern
actions, in a modern setting. And there it was. We
could see and feel what Shakespeare was having the
character see and feel.'' The actors could then use the
poet's words -- and their own interpretations -- to make
it come alive ..
While working with his role Arens at first thought Antonio was' 'a bad guy, a pirate. But I discovered that he
really isn't. People just see him that way. But he knows
he isn't," he says, after eight weeks of rehearsing and
developing the characterization.
John Duncan says he now sees his chracter, Duke
Orsino, ''as the ultimate existential Duke who, like a
music reviewer for Gormet Magazine is torn between
duty and desire; who doesn't know who to love, what
to conquer, or what it all means.''
A knight is usually a strong, serious character, but
not Sir ·Toby Belch. As Olivia's fun-loving uncle he is
always getting into trouble. The philosophy of Sir Toby,
says actor Steve Springston, is stated in his first line:
"Care is an enemy of life."
Olivia, played by Chris Boyd, is the heartbroken
mourner with an ambition to grieve her brother's death
for seven years. "But she doesn't get through the first
three months," says Boyd.
James Conant, as the jester or fool, Feste, uses his
unruly blond hair, mugging antics, and gymnastic
moves to show the character's energetic good humor.
And good humor and fun are Lasswell's goals. ''I
hope we can show our audience a play more in the
Elizabethan style -- one designed to make them
laugh.''
Reservations to participate in the festival of fun and
laughter may be made by telephone (726-2202), or at
the LCC box office, which is open weekdays 10 a. m. to
4 p.m . Reserved seating is still available for all performances at $4, and half-price for all LCC students.6

REVIEWS

ture--- -------Movies --------- SOLO:Litera
-Excalibur
her emotional isolation in " Struggle, " " Tragedy ," and
Women on Woman Alone
Edited by Hamalian and Hamalian

Mayflower ·Theatre

The line outside of the
Mayflower theatre last Saturday
night for the showing of
" Excalibur" was longer than I'd
seen it in months . 'Ah , a good
sign of a good movie! '
Wei I -- sort of .
" Excalibur" is a sort of comedic, dramatic, metaphysical
puzzle . The problem is that it's
often funny in a place or two . I'm
sure it wasn 't intended to be , and
what is puzzling is how such a
good idea became so overloaded
with schmaltz .
The film covers the history of
Lither Pendragon, his son King
Arthur , Merlin the Magician, and
of course, the lovely Lancelot of
the Lake and Guenivere . The
photography is rich , the costuming believable and many of the
special effects are, well -- eff ective.
The opening score is so
ominous and heavy (and LOUD)
that I missed what was going on
on screen. Any communication
between characters is done at the
top of their lungs and badly at
that.
But after a while , things began
to mellow out and it became
easier to get into the spirit of the
thing .
not a
is
" Excalibur "
sophisticated movie , but it does
have the potential of becoming a
type of cult piece.
In a cast of unknowns (after
watching them , I know why) the
portrayal of Merli n stands out.
Merli n is not the stereotyped
white- haired, bearded old man I

expected, but an . attractive,
middle-aged and very human man
of magic and frailties. Merlin is
reluctant to intervene in the affairs of his kings, and the two
times he does interject himself in
their desires and needs, he most
def inately regrets it.
He is humorous and crafty. He
is a man of few words and much ,
compassion . .. in fact, he saves
this film from total oblivion .
The script is very true to the
legend of Camelot and King Arthur 's court, with none of the
typical fairy-tale whitewashing of
facts. When Lither demands that
Merlin make it possible for him to
make it with a rival king ·s wife,
as part of the spell Merlin tells
him that his lust will carry him
over the water . Lust , not love .
The result of that union is Arthur, who Merliri claims as his
own as part of the bargain. The
film doesn't show Arthur ' s
mother , lgwane, willingly making
a gift of her son to the magician,
but rather a more believable tearing away takes place.
The sexual encounter between
Uther and lgwane is a little explicit for their role in the movie. (It
would have been much more fun
to have seen a love scene between Guenivere and Lancelot!)
The redeeming factor here was
the faithful visual rendition of the
story I had read as a young girl.
While the critics will hate this

great. All in all , I th in k it's a matter of personal taste.
If fantasy is your thing , go take

your chances.

Old habits die hard , and many
people still believe that women
without men are incomplete and
"alone. " However, it's a surprise and disappointment to find
this attitude in an anthology entitled SOLO: Women on Woman
Alone. The cover gives us the first
hint: a woman 's face photographed in soft focus, blurry, shadowed except for one sunlit lock of
hair. Her head is bowed, her eyes
closed. Rather than appearing
contemplative, she looks
vulnerable and depressed.
Unfortunately, the cover
photograph is not the only thing
lacking in focus . Each of these 27
stories is of high literary quality,
but the collection as a whole is
hampered by the lack of any
useful or accurate definition of the
term '' alone. ''
Most of the women portrayed in
these stories have friends,
families, companions , lovers ,
roommates and/or careers . So
what are they doing in this collection? Hamalian and Hamalian
seem to feel that a woman without
a man, especially one without a
husband , is " solo ," friends and
family notwithstanding.
Two stories do indirectly make
the point that even marriage does
not prevent a woman from being
alone . Jane Augustine 's forceful
" Secretive " is the frantic interior
monologue of a battered wife who
must talk to herself because no
one else would believe her;
Wakako Yamauch i' s '' And The
Soul Shal l Dance " is a delicately

These rustic images are like

Midwest farmers hanging around

Finding a place to park is a terror

He 's a master at defining moods

Yamauchi· s story is also
notable for being one of three in

by Paule Marshall, is an excellent , if somewhat talky , account of the problems faced by
black American women; Selena,
the young Caribbean of Jean
Rhy ' s "Let Them Call It Jazz" is
one of the most resilient and freespirited heroines of the collection.
In fact, Selena and Reena are
two' of only three or four
characters who appreciate being
alone. Of the rest, some choose to
be alone because they consciously fear deep involvements. The
narrator of Jean Stafford 's
ironically titled '' I Love Someone" concludes, "My friends
and I have managed my life with
the best of taste, and all that is
lacking at this elegant banquet is

as Jane in Katherine Harding's

SOLO pays little attention to the
positive aspects of woman alone
-- the strength , maturity and
peace that can be gained by

with

equate
" loneliness. " The book is divided into th r ee sections ,

' 'Independence ,'' but even most
of the , women included in

The ed i'tors' views lead to some
peculiar placement of stories.
They mistake Sherry Son nett ' s
sarcastic ' 'Dreamy '' as being
liberal, and label it "Tragedy. "
Conversely , reaching for a
positive, note, they drastically
misinterpret "6:27 P.M. ," a
typically nasty and ominous piece .
by Joyce Carol Oates . They write
in the introduction that '' Glenda ,
in, '6:27 P.M .' may survive the
difficult years ahead without irreparable damage to her psyche.
. . '' If they haven 't completely
missed the point , they have very
odd ideas of what constitutes
"irreperable;" at 6:27 p.m.
Glenda will be murdered by her
ex-husband.
This is not the book to give to a
friend, lover, mother or daughter
just embarking on her own -- it
might make her want to crawl
under the bed and stay there. For
women already engaged in the

Betsy Newman , director of last

KLCC Radiothon shoots for $20,000

by Marty Schwarzbauer of The
Torch
KLCC Radio is sponsoring an
eight day radiothon starting Monday, April 20, in an attempt to
raise $20,000 for installing new
equipment and redesigning the
broadcast studios.
The last radiothon, held in
November of last year, was a success, reaching a bit over the projected $20,000, and hitting a
record 87 .3 percent return on
pledged donations, with $17,456
received. According KLCC
secretary Kris Middlewood, the
station hopes to reach their projected goal again this spring,
since they expect the CPB
(Corporation for Public Broadcasting) funds to be reduced,
and, indirectly, KLCC's as well.
'' Its been a clear message that
(the Reagan administration) expects Public Radio to be listener
supported," she says.
However, last year, NTIA

Herpes pose

Jeanne Neevel is a nurse and a
masters student in health education at the University of Oregon.
She is currently doing a practicum with the LCC Student
Health Services.
Sally, a 29-year-old teacher,
had been feeling tired and slightly
feverish. When she noticed the
small red bumps around her
genital area she decided that she
had better see a doctor. After a
pelvic exam, Sally's doctor informed her that she had become
infected with genital herpes. Like
many people, Sally had heard of
herpes, but actually knew very
little about it.
Herpes is a very contagious infection which is caused by the
herpes simplex virus. There are
two herpes simplex virus and
they are very much alike--type 1
and type 2. Type 1 is usually
found around the mouth and commonly called cold sores, while
type 2 is generally found around
the genitals. Occasionally,

however, the type 1 virus may be
found around the genital area and
vice versa.
Oral herpes (cold sores) are
f&irly common in children and
recurrences generally occur less
often as the child grows to
adulthood. These recurrences
may be brought on by a fever,
sun exposure, or stress. Aside
from the discomfort and unsightliness, cold sores are
generally not much of a problem.
One should practice good
hygiene, however, to avoid
spreading the virus to other areas
of the body such as the eye.
(Herpes in the eye can cause
severe infection and may even
lead to blindness.)
Genital herpes, on the other
hand, is considered to be more of
a health problem. It is transmitted
through sexual contact and the
incidence of genital herpes is
greatly increasing in this country.
After a person is exposed, he or
she mav find many small bumps
around the penis, vagina, cervix, or buttocks, which will
develop into blisters. These are
often accompanied by headache,
fever, and fatigue. The blisters
are usually extremely painful and
women may have difficulty
urinating because of the pain.
The blisters scab over, and will
usually heal in two to three
weeks. However, as with oral
herpes, this is not the end of it..
Once a person breaks out with
this first infection·, the virus
travels up along a nerve
and
hibernates in the nerve cell
centers outside the spinal cord.
No damage is done there, but the
virus can travel back down the
nerve and cause a recurrence of
that first infection at any time.
These recurrences may be set off
by stress, fatigue, menstruation,
or other unknown factors, and are
usually not as severe as the first
infection.
Two areas of concern surrounding genital herpes regard the
topics of pregnancy and cervical
cancer. Any woman who has had
herpes and becomes pregnant
should inform her doctor of her
history of herpes. An active case
of herpes at the time of delivery
can seriously affect the baby if
the delivery is vaginal. A

Women who have had genital
herpes are generally recommended to have a pap smear every six
months because of the link between genital herpes and cervical
cancer. It should be noted that
genital herpes has not been found
to cause cervical cancer but
rather that there is a connection
between the two.
It is recommended that during
an active case of genital herpes,
intercourse, as well as oralgenital sex, should be avoided.
The herpes lesions are full of the
virus anyone's partner can easily
become infected. Occasionally,
the virus is present at the site of
former sores and sometimes a
person may have a mild case of
herpes without being aware of it.
For these reasons, people who
have had genital herpes should
inform any prospective sexual
partner. In addition, to play it
safe, condoms may be worn to
prevent the spread of the virus
when sores are not present.
Although there is presently no
cure for herpes, soaking the area
in warm water may help to relieve
symptoms. When not soaking,
the area should be kept as dry as
possible. It should be kept in
mind that research is currently
being done in search of a cure.
Hopefully, there will be an answer
soon. Because this article just
touchs on the subject of herpes,
you may have many questions. If
so, stop in at the Student Health
Services. The Student Health
Services has both male physicians and female nurse practitioners to answer questions
and/or diagnose. All services are

Thursday, April 23.
None of the material included in
the Jonestown special has ever
been broadcast before, and the
producers of the program claim
that the difference between this,
which is taken from Jimmy
Jones' own tapes, and the t.v.
"docu-drama" done last year,
will amaze listeners.
The standard amount pledged
for the radiothon is $20. According to Paula Chan Gallagher,
who is the new Development

listener will receive for their donation is a monthly program guide,
a tax deduction, and, '' good programming all year.''

these prejudices.
Morgan carried a hatrack
onstage filled with hats, ties, and
jackets representative of the
many roles modern men play. He
donned a 10-gallon Stetson and a
red bandana to talk about the influence that Marian Michael Morrison (better known as John
Wayne) had on him as a boy.
"John Wayne( 's image) was

The constitutional question of

discussed since the Supreme
Court has already recognized the

8, of the United States Constitution. In that Article, no limiting

has always had the power to draft

all American youth . Rep. Paul
McClosky has introduced a bill
that would require all young men
and women between the ages of
18 and 23 to enlist in the military
service or serve in a civilian job in
slums, hospitals, schools, conservation projects and the like for
one year. Those men and women
who did not choose one or the
other would have their names
entered for a military draft lottery
and would be subject to being
drafted if needed .
If a program as set forth above
is not established and women are
called to serve in the armed
forces , there are still the standard
exemptions that will limit the
women the armed forces will
draft. A Senate Judiciary Report
(S . Rept. 92-689) states : '' ..
.Those women who are physical ly
or mentally unqualified , or who
are conscientious objectors , or
who are exempt because of their
responsibilities (e.g . certain
public officials, or those with
dependants) will not have to
serve , just as men who are unqualified or exempt do not serve
today ... Congress will retain ample power to dreate legitimate
sex-neutral exemptions from ·
compulsorary service. For example, Congress might well decide
to exempt all parents of children
under 18 from the draft.
The military also has the power
to exclude women from
assignments when assigning
women to certain duty would
substantially impair the
discipline or morale of the armed
forces , lessening the ability of the
country to defend itself . The issue
of combat and women would be
settled by the military itself, with
or without the ERA being passed.
The primary concern of the
military is national security.
When the Supreme Court
hands down their decision on the
unconstitutionality of drafting
men only , it will not be a matter of
whether the women 's movement
wins or loses , but how much
women will lose. If the judges
rule that a male-only draft is constitutional , the women 's movement will lose what little ground
they have gained , and women will
still have the risk of being drafted
at some future time. If the
Supreme Court rules that an all male draft is unconstitutional and
young women are drafted without
the ERA being passed and enforced women will be burdened with
m~re obligations without the protection of equality.

problem being the lack of
recruits; all they asked for was a
little honey, but are getting the
whole hive swarming with bees.
To the pentagon drafting
women does not conjure emotion al pictures of weak ,
defenseless, timid , danty little
creatures being forced on the battle fields of a war to be raped and
killed . They are faced with reality ;
not romantic , unrealistic, remote
possibilities . Even if they wanted
to , could they train the majority of
women to be effective combat
soldiers . when society still
demands ··t he quiet, nonresistant ,
submissive women? What do
young have to lose if they get a
dishonerable discharge? There
will always be plenty of low paying traditionally women ·s jobs for
them . Would the government
have the power to prevent young
female soldiers from becoming
pregnant? Would'nt they also
have to prevent young male
soldiers from fathering?
The armed forces will be faced
with trying to change a thousand
years of attitudes in a few months
of not only women toward
themselves and society, but · of
society toward women. In our
schools today, young women are
taking male stereotype subjects,
but are still being taught to be
passive. They are expected to be
ambitious for themselves and
sensitive to others; to be independent but still remain obediant.
The armed forces foresee their
problem with the lack of recruits
intensifying in the 1980's as the
pool of potential recruits declines
due to a drop in birth rates . At
one point or another, they will be
forced to reinstate the draft. Our
armed forces do not need and will
not need every American youth to
serve, just enough to take up the
slack ; only about 400 ,000 , or ten
percent of the American youth
would be called . This small
percentage would in itself create
a feeling of unfairness compared
with the " everyone goes " days
of the 1950' s when the military
took about 80 percent of the eligible young men .
This kind of problem inherent of
a new military draft together with
some more general social concerns have helped rekindle interest in the idea of requiring
some sort of national service from

The TORCH April 16 - • . 1981 Page 11

by Kelly Cheney
of the Torch
LCC's 1600 meter women's
relay squad went down to the
wire Friday, April 10, and enabled the Titans to claim a perfect
2-0 league record.
In a tied situation, Lisha
Sanders, Kerry Leahy, Ann
O'Leary, and Debbie Wright composed the team that sped past
Linn-Benton (4:09. 73 to 4: 15.66)
securing a team win.
Lisha Lass rebroke the school
and field discus record (which
she had set just the week before)
hurling 154 feet 10.
Sandy Dickerson swept the
1500 meter run in 4:58.69. Her
opponent crossed the line in
5:33. 72. Diana Hill cleared the
field with a shot put of 37 feet
101 /2.
Wright.who anchored the victorious 1600 meter relay team,
recorded a personal win in the
200 meters.
Both Lorie Moran and Martha

Lette

SPORTS

Swatt placed in the 800 meter
event with times of 2:33.44 and
2:34.23, respectively. Debbie
Knapp held off her opponents in
the 3000 meter run with a time
clocked at 11 :05.1. In the same
race, Gail Bruner set a new personal record time of 11: 17. 3.
Coach Lyndell Wilken expressed
her views of the meet,'' We' re
real proud of Lisha again and Gail
Bruner did well also. There was a
lot of pressure upon our 1600
meter team because going into
the event the score was tied.
They ran their best time so far
this year.''
Wilken feels the reason for a tie
so late in the meet was that
outstanding runner Loi Brumley
was not able to compete in any
running events. Her knee injuries
may cause her to be red-shirted,
which will be costly to team point
accumulations.
Lane scored 61 to LinnBenton's 55 1/2 Clark Community's 221/2 and Southwestern

Oregon's 8.
This weekend the team travels
to Mt. Hood to compete in the Bill
Wilde Memorial Relay Invitational
and will compete against 14 other
teams including powerhouses
such as Bellvue from Seattle, and
Mt. Hood.
"We're expecting Lisha to
break the Mt. Hood relay discus
record which is only 144 feet 4.
She's topped that in each of our
last three meets. Our goal is to
place in every event we enter.
Last year our 3200 meter relay
team won their race and placed
third in nationals. All of the same
runners have returned and will
compete. They show real promise!'' Wilken says.

LCC male tracksters annihilated three other teams, and
Kerry Kopperman was a double
winner in a four-way track meet
hosted by Lane on April 10, increasing their league record to
2-U.

Kopperman' s shot put of 46
feet 5, clearly surpassed any opposition tries. He set a new personal record in the discus, unfurling a 156 foot 7.
The triple-jump was won by Ike
Freeman with a landing at 45 feet
02/3. George Horton won the 100
meter dash in 11 .08, while Lane
swept the 800 meters. First place
went to track star Fred Sproul
with a time clocked at 1:57.7. He
was closely followed by Bob
Shisler finishing in 1:58.14. Tim
Engel rounded out the places with
a time of 1:59.25.
The team also swept the 1500
meters. Marty Hemsley, Shisler,
and Jeff Gunn placed 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd, respectively, with
Hemsley leading all runners at
4:00.7.
LCC recorded a first in the only
relay event speeding in at 43.5 in
the 400 meter relay.
Ken Morris excelled in the
steeplechase (9:49. ??)handing
in another win.

The teams totals were: Lane
78, Linn-Benton Community 50 ,
Southwestern Oregon 42, and
Clark 36.
Coach Harland Yriarte commented on a few team members,
"Kopperman is showing extreme
consistency in the discus and has
been important in every meet.
Key-man Marty Hemsley pulled a
hip muscle or something and will
be out for a while--that will hurt
us.''
Both the men's and women's
track teams will contend in a Mt.
Hood Invitational meet on Sat .,
April 18. The men's competition
will be stiffened as Portland State
will also compete making it a 16
team meet for the men.
Our two and four mile relay s
sill do well, and Fred Sproul is expected to come on strong as he
did last weekend in the U of 0
mini-meet, where he placed
fourth in the 800 meters, ' · Yriarte
added.

government with complex forms
(mandamus) and abstract concepts (last clear chance) that
change our law." This right to
change the ''law'' was disguised
in a pretense of making sure it
conforms to constitutional
"principles," that in turn are
clouded by conflicting court
''Interpretations. ''
In Marbury vs. Madison 5 US
137 ( 1803) Chief Justice Marshall dismissed Marbury's mandamus, demanding Secretary of
State Madison issue his justice of
the peace commission, because
Article 3 of the US Constitution
prohibited original mandamus
under Section 13 of the Judiciary
Act of 1789 claimed by Marbury,
but Marshall went on in
dictum" to "postulate" the
courts inherent power to
"interpret" the
law!"
Thus HB 2376 (1981) subjects
us to Oregon State Bar Association ''pharisee' s'' interpretations
rather than absolute ''law.''

themselves and their children,

Irresposible. Unforgiveable.

Letter to Editor R.G. 3-21-81:
I was very ha)py to see the
James Mischkot: "Dr. James TORCH' s article on rabbit raising
in the April 2 through 9 issue.
Witt and Dr. Frank N. Dost,
After seriously raising rabbits

toxicologist-physician, medical
school "prnfes~or for 22 . year~s:. . F_ried chicken would th.er greatly

Split hares

surpass the cholesterol and
calorie content of rabbit.
The article mentions the cost of
feed but does not include the cost
of housing or maintainence. How
come? If I considered raising rabbits for food, I'd want to know
how much money I would have to
invest.
Instead of confusing the reader
with only the more European High
Production Hutches, how about a
description of one.
When choosing breeding stock
a beginner should look for firm,
smooth looking animal, not a
"meaty one." A beginner would
only confuse a "solid, meaty
looking" rabbit with a fatty one.
The disease descriptions were
very helpful, but misleading.
Some hocks occur on the bottoms
of the front and hind feet, not
''the region just above the foot.''
Coccidiosis is a parasite present
only in the droppings of diseased
fowl. I raised rabbits with
chickens side by side for 1Oyears
and had only one case of Coccidiosis, which was caused by
some infected chicks I bought.
Thus rabbits and chickens can be
raised together provided they are
both healthy and their pens are
cleaned on a regular basis.
I strongly object to your suggestions for butchering rabbits.
Hitting them on the base of the
skull with a blunt instrument
(stick) paralizes them and makes
the job of cutting their heads off
much more humane than hitting
them over the head with a hammer or shooting them. A simple
light whack, not a death crushing
blow, accomplishes the task. It
might be of interest to you to note
that commercial .rabbit raisers
simply have the live animal upside down and chop their heads
off with a sharp (very) knife.
The following quote by Schafer,
'' A friend of mine says if you feed
them clover the meat tastes a lot
sweeter'' is obviously a joke and
should be stated as such.
Mentioning the protien content
and crude fifteen percent was
very helpful. I myself d•dn: t learn

of the importance of feed until my
second year of rabbit raising. You
do, however. forget to mention
the fact that today's commercial
rabbit feeds are available to
raisers. Mentioning this would
enable you to eliminate a whole
paragraph. As far as Terraced Hill
Farms Inc. having the lowest
priced feed in town, I doubt it.
You should have been wiser consumer and also avoided adding
this touch of bias to the article.
I would highly recommend consulting a commercial rabbit
breeder for information. They can
provide some of the best information. I've learned this after ques-

tioning them for 10 years.
Another excellent source is the
ARBA Official Guide to Raising
Better Rabbits. For a mere $5.00
a beginner can obtain a life-long
reference just by writing:
The ARBA
2401 E. Oakland AvP..
Bloomington, IL. 61101
Even with these inaccuracies
that I've mentioned, the article
was well written for a person
without a rabbit raising
background.
Thanks.
