LCC logging
by Chris Roop

tiy Heidi Swillinger
of The TORCH
In late February, the TORCH
reported the presence of animal
carcasses and what appeared to
be chemicals at the Bloomberg
Road dump, which is owned and
operated by the City of Eugene .
Eugene .
According to a 1979 congressional survey, hazardous wastes
may have been dumped at the
Bloomberg landfill 20 years ago ,
when it was operated by Lane
County as an '' open burning
dump ."
Several city officials questioned
the validity of the report.
However , due to '' political
pressure " from the TORCH , they
conceded to test surface water
samples from the old dump site,
as well as soil samples from a pit
used for dumping sewer gnt.
Though sources from the
University of Oregon and the
Portland Department of Environmental Quality claimed the
tests were inadequate in determining the presence of hazardous
conditions, city officials believed
otherwise.
The test resu Its are now in, and
City Chemical Engineer Doug
Cooke says, '' They were within
normal range . ' '
According to Eugene DEQ official Daryl Johnson, ''The
samples that were taken reflect
the locale from which they were
taken. ' '
Cooke says no monitoring of
the area is planned .
City Councilwoman Cynthia
Wooten , who originally requested
that the site be tested , says that ,
based on the test results , ' 'There
is nothing I can grasp on to of any
certainty to ask (t11e city) to pursue the matter.' '
However, she adds , " I think
requesting monitoring or quarterly testing for a year or even more
would be advisable. ··

The TORCH reported early in
April the logging of approximately
six acres of Northwest Christian
College (NCC) timber land south
of LCC .
LCC instructors Robert Thompson and Jay Marston attempted to
preserve the ecological integrity
of the adjacent college property
by negotiating with Clear Lumber
company who had purchased the
timber rights from NCC.
Thompson says in a recent

phone call, Clear Lumber 's Don
Podrabsky assured him visual impact resulting from the logging
operation would not be any worse
than it is now. He added that the
area will be logged selectively for
Douglas Firs, instead of clear cut,
and that a buffer strip of Firs will
be left on the ridge top .
Clear Lumber has also submitted a request to LCC's Facilities
Management Committee for access across college property via
the east entrance to transport
their logs. However, Paul Colvin,
director of facilities, says LCC
President Eldon Schafer is considering an alternative route suggested by Marston and logging
instructor John Phillips.
Colvin says log trucks using
the east entrance would interfere
with college •traffic and cause
deterioration of the road surface.
The proposed alternative route
would cross a parcel between
Gonyea Road and the NCC property.
Thompson belongs to the Giraffes, an LCC student/staff group.
They have sent a memorandum to
Schafer and the president of NCC
identifying potential problems the
logging could produce. Thompson says when logging resumes
the Giraffes will be on site to
moniotor the methods used and
the results.

Schroeder
by Paula Case
of The TORCH
When alleged rapist, sodomist
and robber John Paul Schroeder
escaped from jail last October, the
fear that rippled through the community and the full scale manhunt
that followed made headlines for
weeks.
Though he managed to elude
police for more than two weeks,
Schroeder was e·ventually captured in Oakridge. Local court officials, however, decided that
Schroeder could not receive a fair
trial in Eugene due to the publicity
surrounding his escape, so a
change of venue was ordered. He
was transferred to maximum
security facilities in Salem where
he awaits six more hearings on
numerous counts of rape,
burglery, assault and robbery.
A few months before his October escape , Schroeder was
found guilty of first degree
burglary and attempted rape. The
court slapped him with a 20-year
prison sentence .
Soon after, convicted of raping
a 19-year-old woman in her East
Eugene apartment, he received
an additional 20-year sentence.
( It wi II be at least 10 years before
he is eligible for parole.)
The first of seven additional
trials began in Salem this week.
Schroeder will be tried on two
counts each of burglary, rape,
robbery and sodomy. Michael
Mills, Schroeder's court appointed attorney, says he expects
the trials to last under two weeks.
Schroeder's first attorney,
John Halpern, asked to be removed from the case saying their relationship was "unworkable."
After the May 26 hearings
Schroeder faces six more hearings on similar charges, plus two
escape related charges.
SECURITY TIGHTENED
Last fall, after kicking through
a laminated plastic and glass four
ply window, Shroeder wrapped
himself in a blanket to protect
himself from the broken glass and
lowered himself down a 16 foot
wall on a rope of bedsheets.
Security officers say Schroeder
was free only 12 minutes before
they discovered his bedsheets
hanging out the window, though
inmates said he had escaped two
hours earlier.
~t the time of the escape, the
two officers on duty were responsible for 96 prisoners . Since
Schroeder 's stunt , add itional personnel have been hired.
Bars have now been installed
on all but administrative office
windows.
Capta i n
Ben
Sunderland , director of the jail ,
says additional security measures
have been taken , but declines to
specify them .
Sunderland says other inmates
have tried to escape , ··One as recent as a week ago .'' However,
the new bars added since
Schroeder 's notorious flight have
prevented any more successful
escapes .

Herbicides
by Mara Math
of The TORCH
In January, the TORCH
reported that LCC Plant Services
is using Round-up, a potentially
dangerous herbicide, in maintaining the lawns and flowerbeds on
campus.
•
Monsanto, the company that
manufactures Round-up, has
refused to release information on
its chemical makeup, claiming
the right to withhold ''trade
secrets.''
But available studies show that
Round-up is potentially lethal.
Mice dosed with Round-up
developed cancerous lesions; rats
given doses as low as 15 parts
per million of Round-up experienced reduction in daily body
weight gain, blood hemoglobin
and red blood cell·count.
A major controversy centers
around the life of Round-up's active ingredient, glyphosate. Walt
Van Orden, Director of Plant Services, says that glyphosate is
detoxified when combined with

soil in "a matter of hours or
days." But U.S. Forest Service
information says that ·'After 90
days, 92 to 98 percent of the
glyphosate was still present an
unaltered state."
Since the TORCH published information on Round-up, Grounds
Manager Dave Weinecke has contacted several people in the herbicide industry for information
and says that together, "We
reached a dead end real quick .''
Weinecke is awaiting the completion of several toxicity studies,
but that completion date appears
to be far off, as Monsanto is still
refusing to release information on
its product.
Meanwhile, LCC Plant Services
continues to use Round-up.
··From a toxicological standpoint,'' Weinecke says ,
' ' Round-up is one of the safest
things we have on the shelf
here. "
However, Weinecke is continuing experimentation and application of alternative techniques to
chemical maintenance which include : aerification , overseeding ,
and top-dressing. All of these
methods '' remain promising ,''
according to Weinecke, who says
Plant Services recently purchased
a new top-seeder, which will
allow for a greater volume , as well
as experimentation , of topseeding methods on LCC
grounds .

BASEBALL
"Disappointing," is what Head
Baseball Coach Bob Foster said of
his teams 17-17-1 record. "It
was a frustrating year. We had
lots of talent but didn't play to our
potential," he added. Centerfie Ider Scott Steed and
designated hitter Don Gimby were
both voted to the All-Conference
teams. Kelly Pfaller was named to
the second team and Andy Black,
Greg Whitten, Mark Knowles and
Jeff Nokleby were chosen as
honorable mentions.
TENNIS
The men's tennis squad took to
the net for the last time in the
NJCAA Region 18 Championships
·on May 15 and 16, wrapping up
the season with a third place tie.
Number three singles player,
Rich Farmer, went into his final
match boasting an undefeated
record but was aced out in the
end. Farmer also teamed up with
Darin Strahm in the number three
doubles division but the pair lost
in final action . Dirk Thornley was
a finalist in the sixth flight singles
division .
The women's team has been
through for some weeks.
Competitively speaking we got
the most out of the potential we
had, ' ' commented Coach Don
Wilson about both teams. ''The
kids worked hard and I feel the
season was a success from that
point."
TRACK
The Titan women tracksters
placed second in national competition and discus star Lisha
Lass brought back an individual

,.
·-r>

national title as well. In triangular
match-ups , LCC did well scoring
two firsts and one second. They
ran away with third in the Mt.
Hood Relays and placed second in
their conference, in the region
and at nationals.
' 'We' re losing all of our
distance runners next year,"
revealed Coach Lyndell Wilken
who plans to do some heavy
recruiting at the OSSAA championships to bring in some strong
freshman .
The men ·s track team completed its season with an
undefeated 7-0 dual and tri
record and placed in the top 25 in
the nation. In addition , four
school records were set by the
men this year in what Coach
Harland Yriarte called, " A very
successful season.'' The men
were conference and regional
champions.

Nicaragua

by Chris Abramson
of The TORCH

July will mark the second anniversary of the Nicaraguan
Revolution.
Speaking in Eugene recently,
Evelyn de Castellon, spokesperson for the National Network in
Solidarity with the Nicaraguan
People, detailed conditions before
and after their revolution.
The legacy of the civil war was
severe . When dictator Anastasio
Somoza fled Nicaragua, 1/ 4 of its
agriculture had been destroyed.
Nearly 40,000 people had been
killed, 100,000 wounded, 40,000
children orphaned, 200,000 left
homelesss and 750,000
Nicaraguans dependent on direct
aid for survival. Somoza left only
$3.5 million in the Nicaraguan
treasury to cover a debt of $1.6
billion.
Nicaragua's new government
nationalized Somoza's holdings
(109 companies and 53 percent of
all arable land), and increased
workers' wages by 24 percent,
while decreasing bureaucratic
wages by 15 percent.
The new government has also
set up direct food distribution,
provided health care, established
day care centers, and waged a
successful war on illiteracy.
The, government also implemented new legislation to
equalize women's position in
Nicaraguan society.
It's a
struggle,'' de Castellon said.
"Our ideology moves faster than
our practice. It takes time -- and
progress is being made.''
But recently the U.S. terminated economic aid and loans
to Nicaragua, leaving the country
faced with a severe shortage of
basic goods. Their Food and
Peace Program designed to create
f~od self-sufficiency was
suspended as a result. The U.S.
charged that Nicaragua with funneling arms into El Salvador and
exporting revolution."
De Castellon says Nicaragua
maintains a policy of nonalignment, and denies it is
" expo rt in g rev oI uti on . " It
believes the U.S. wants an excuse to interfere with its
reconstructfon efforts, and has
purposely avoided any direct support for El Salvador.

"The University of Oregon is
still pursuing plans to convert to
the semester system," says Bob
Marshall, LCC director of Admissions. "It definitely appears to
me that they' re intent on going
ahead with it. ''
At a May 18 public hearing, U
of O faculty and students expressed positive support for the
change.
The University Assembly will
vote June 3 on the proposal ,
which will then be forwarded to
the State Board of Higher Education for final ratification.
The target date for conversion
is Fall, 1983.
However, the change raises
questions for LCC students who
plan to transfer credits to U of O.
According to Marshall, LCC administrators are seeking ways to
lessen the confusion by
attempting to negotiate with the
University.'' He suggests that '' A
possible partial remedy for the
situation would be for the University to accept the AA (degree) as
complete lower division credits to
be applied to the semester
system.''
_
Meanwhile, an LCC ad hoc
committee will meet this month to

"The next step," says
Christina Cowger of Committee
Opposing Registration and the
Draft (CORD), is for people to
start receiving draft induction
notices. Some observers believe
this signals a draft for men born
in 1962, as early as next year -which, coincidentally, is
something the Pentagon has been
agitating for several years.''

Food service

Last
April,
Maxine
Kirkpatrick's Ford Thunderbird
wildly circled a Eugene parking
lot in reverse at speeds of 25
m.p.h. Over 100 deaths and
nearly 4,000 accidents have
resulted from similar incidents involving Fords which snap into
reverse while unattended.
In fact, a 21 million vehicle
recall, the largest in U.S. history,
has been debated by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) since 1977.

by Mara Math
of The TORCH
Could the Food Services budget
be pared down?
This question was addressed in a
January TORCH article.
The LCC Food Service Department pays a levy applied to only
one other department on campus
(the bookstore). This $1,000 a
month administrative overhead
charge covers '' maintenence and
heating,'' to the tune of $12,000
per year.
Another $18,000 is paid to
Mannings, Inc. of San Francisco,
a national food service contractor.
Exactly what Mannings does for
it's $18,000 has never been fully
explained.
Food Service Manager, Bob
Tegge, says that representation
by Mannings entitles LCC to extra
discounts above and beyond what
the college would get as a
member of the State System of
Higher Education. However, he
adds, Mannings ·three-year contract will expire in July of 1982, at
which time LCC can re-open bids
for management.
The remaining $15,000 of the
Food Service budget goes to the
GEM Vending Company of
Eugene, because LCC rents,
rather than owns, the campus
vending machines.
Tegge says he would like to
have Food Services purchase
vending machines rather than
rent them, to hold prices down,
·but ''the problem is coming up
with the money to invest."

An update from the NHTSA on
this debate, specifying the make
and year of Kirkpatrick's car,
says if her car has an FMX, C-3,
C-4, C-6 or JATCO automatic
transmission, it is one of the 21
million vehicles.
The report reads: '' Possibility
that on certain vehicles the park
gear may not be securely engaged after the operator has attempted to shift the gear selector lever
to "P" (park) ana the transmission may shift to reverse by itself
without warning allowing the
vehicle to move when it is unattended. Such movement may
result in injury or death to vehicle
occupants or to persons outside
the vehicle.
The solution? -- (Correct by inspecting and installing a label in a
conspicuous location in your vehicle to remind drivers to observe
certain safety precautions.)

discuss the pros and cons of converting the college to the
semester system.
''We haven't found a lot of interest so far," says Marshall ,
committee chair. He says that at a
May 20 meeting, "There was virtually no support from the staff of
the Language Arts department.
'' I came from a semester
system and it makes all the sense
in the world at a graduate level
because by then students know
what they want . The quarter
system makes sense for
undergraduate students because
it allows them more time to investigate various course offerings. ''
But the most adamant opposition to a semester system at LCC
is voiced by the students.
ASLCC Treasurer Mary Stolt
backs the quarter system completely. ' 'There are more choices
in classes and you don 't have to
suffer through classes you dislike
as long as you would with the
semester system, '' she says.
Mass communication major
Bonnie Nicholas believes such a
conversion would defeat the
whole purpose of LCC . She says,
·'There are so many classes here
I want to learn a little about,
without having to go into too
much depth.''

Funding for KAT trainees ·in danger
by Mara Math
of The TORCH

The young man clearing the
cafeteria table is being watched
intently by a woman with a stopwatch , and she in turn is regarded with a mixture of curiosity and
hostility by students whose trays
are being cleared . (' 'Whatcha
riding his tail for?")
Twenty-seven seconds to clear
the trays. The woman clicks the
stopwatch with one hand, and
with the other pencils in a notation on her list. Fifteen seconds
too slow.
The woman with the stopwatch
is not harassing Tim. She is
training him to become an
employable worker, and the stopwatch is one of her vital tools.
Tim is one of four people
(developmentally disabled) working in LCC 's Kitchen Aid Training (KAT) program. This unique
program provides trainable men ·
tally retarded people with on-thejob work experience and individual instruction -- in the LCC
cafeteria.
·' Mentally retarded workers
need to have an adjustmentplace ,'' says former · training
coord inator Linda Raisanen.
'· You can't just drop them out
there in the business world and
say ,' here it is , go to it!' They

haven't spent a lot of time with
non-retarded people,'' she explains. "They haven't had expectations made of them to perform
as 'normal people . ' They need to
have an adjustment place.''
The average program participant spends approximately three
months learning bussing and
dishwashing, but there are no
clear-cut statistics yet. The KAT
program opened July 1st, and the
first placement was made at the
beginning of February. Each participant is on an individual
schedule, based on his or her
learning needs, and there is a
one-to-one trainer /trainee ratio.
''We have to stay with them continually so they don't form error
. patterns,'' Raisanen explains. At
least five repetitions of each
rudimentary act -- such as wiping
a table down -- are needed for a
trainee to learn an action even
minimally. "Tim's been in the
program three months, ' '
Raisanen says , "and today is the
first time he's wiped a table correctly. ' She smiles, proud of
him, and looks back at her stopwatch.
The KAT program trains the
mentally handicapped to match
''normal'' standards for equal
work -- hence the stopwatch. To
graduate from the program and
be placed in a local restaurant, a

KAT kitchen aide must be able to
clear trays in 12 seconds, load
trays in 15 sJconds, and fill a
sugar shaker in 46 seconds .
''The (KAT) program has been
very beneficial,' ' says cafeteria
manager Bob Tegge. "It's relieved regular worker so they can
perform other jobs, and it's
helped us keep the cafeteria dining area much cleaner. And it's a
good thing to help people out like
this.''
The program is unique in this
area, says nBw training coordinator Paula Maedaglia , and
especially worthwhile in that it
enables the mentally handicapped
to be both productive and independent. "It's very important
that they have the chance to be
responsible for their own
welfare,·' Maedaglia says. ' 'This
program is a start at looking for
places where the handicapped
can oe integrated into society."
But this start may end soon if the
program cannot find a new source
of funding.
The CETA orant that funds the
training program expires in
September, and if the program
cannot find a new funding source·
by then, it will have to close
down.

be an interlocking series of matching grants, with LCC, CETA

but so far it doesn't look good,''
Maedagl i_a says. ' 'People are saying that there are greater
priorities.''
In Maedaglia's· estimation, the

program needs at least two-thirds
of its proposed budget on order to
function. That money would cover
trainers' salaries . "(With twothirds of the budget) we 'd serve
fewer clients, but we could still
continue. With any less than that,
we couldn't," Maedaglia says.

LCC frisbee weekend
by Dana Benedict
for The TORCH

The LCC playing fields were
chosen as the site for the second
annual Ultimate Celebration
because, says frisbee fanatic
Henri Callahan, they are
'' probably the best fields on the
West Coast to play frisbee
because of the natural arena surrounding them and because of the
fantastic upkeep.''
Dark Star, a local Ultimate
Frisbee club, is hosting the June
20-21 event, which will feature
16 teams from Seattle to San
Diego. Two of the teams, the
BeFkeley Flying Circus and the
Santa Barbara Condors, are
recognized nationwide as being of
exceptional quality.
Ultimate frisbee was invented
by students in a parking lot at
Columbia High School in
Maplewood, N.J., 12 years ago.
They set out to create a simple,
inexpensive low-key sport ''for
the non-athlete.'' They did just
that, then took their invention to
Eastern colleges where the game
spread with almost reverent enthusiasam. Eventually, Ultimate
moved westward with the same
following of students and nonstudents alike looking for a team
sport that avoids high pressure,
must-win contests.
The game is a zany mix of football, soccer and playground
basketball played on an open
space measuring 60 by 45 yards.
Two seven-member teams compete and try to score goals by catching the frisbee in the end zone
-- which can be as deep as the
frisbee flies or as far as the
receiver cares to run.
The frisbee may only be moved
through the air by the offense,
which keeps moving as long as it
controls the frisbee. When passes
are blocked, intercepted, drapped or go out of bounds, the other
team gains posses ion. When a
player has the frisbee, only one
opponent may try to block a pass.
Substitutions are allowed during
breaks in play, and fouls are called on the honor system .
It was in the spring of 1975,
during a disc-throwing marathon
at the University of Oregon held
by the White Bird Socio-medical
clinic, that some Eugene frisbee
enthusiasts discovered the
"Ultimate" approach to their
love. Their organization grew
slowly, but steadily for two years,
when in the fall of 1977 a talented
newcomer, Jim Palmerii from the
Eastern Ultimate establishment
began playing with the team.
When he left town he left the Dark
Star with a berth in the 1978
Western National Ultimate Championships in Stanford.
This spring Dark Star moves in-

to its sixth year of existence as an
organized and competitive team.
Henri Callahan, a local beer tapper and member of the Dark Star
remembers that first tournament
in Stanford with a grim: ' 'We
were humbled, but we also learned what it took to compete against
top-notch teams. We learned
sophistication.''
Since that tournament the Dark
star has been involved with every
major West Coast tounament,
many of which have been held in
California.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH
The philosophy of fair play and
brotherhood associated with
Ultimate is best demonstrated by
the adherence to the honor
system. During games there are
no referees -- the players are expected to self-regulate the play.
''This is what makes Ultimate different from all other games,"
says Tim Maloney of the Dark
Star. "If people can't selfregulate they should go find
themselves another games. We
must control ourselves, not
anyone else.''
But if a dispute cannot be
decided, an '' official observer,''
usually someone chosen before a
game to watch the action, will be
called on to decide the call.
This system, says Maloney,
"gives a different meaning to the
word 'competition.· The Dark
Star seeks to project a peaceful,
competitive world. There are only
winners in the game of
Ultimate."
A co~tribution by the Dark Star
to the philosophy of the game is
the "energy circle .' "It's just a
bunch of people,'' says Robin
Nyberg, a member of the
women's Dark Star, "who get
together after the game and hold
hands in a circle. It may include
players as well as spectators and
it just makes a bond between
players win or lose."
According to many members of
the Dark Star, Ultimate is becoming an ever more popular sport,
with over 500 registered and active teams nationwide. Interest in
Lane County has grown at a
'' phenomenal rate, '' says
Callahan, with even a few high
schools and junior highs introducting Ultimate into their P.E.
curriculum. The llniversity of
Oregon wil field a Club Sport
Team , boasting a membership of
over 20 players, for the third
straight year. The university also
offers three accreditied Ultimate
P.E. classes, having grown from
just a single class two years ago.

Waitin g for the basic pieces
in education budge t puzzle
Analysis
by Ron Kelley
ofThe TORCH
Consider these seeming contradictions :
•In Ap ril , the LCC Board of
Education raised tuition.
•That same evening, LCC President Eldon Schafer initiated a college wide hiring freeze and
rumors hold that retrenchment
(lay-offs) of employees is in the
offing .
•Governor Atiyeh says he 's
pared the state budget for higher
education enough. The legislature
wants to pare more -- perhaps, a
total of 13-16 percent of Atiyeh ' s
proposal.
•The LCC administration views
biennium
current
the
(1981-1983) as a crisis period, a
" Catch-22. " On one hand, the
college encourages enrollment
and plans for future expansion,
and , on the other hand , it faces

But , Berry believes cause for
alarm is justified . '' Everything
we 've heard says that the Governor 's budget is an inflated
budget,'' and LCC will not
receive money originally expected .
If the legislative cuts are too extensive , he says '' an option is to
carve that money out of every
department. '' He adds that if cuts
reach as much as (a hypothetical)
25 percent, " We 're going to have
to get into people. ''
So, how much money will LCC
receive from the state?
Originally , the tuition increase
and hiring freeze were designed
to cover a two percent decrease in
total college expenditures . Fine.
Governor Atiyeh' s proposed
allocation divides a total of $108
million to all 13 community colfor the biennium
1eg es
1981-1983, leaving LCC with $18
million. The state only parcels
half of this amount the first year,

"We are approachin g the limits
of capacity for this college."
limits of its ability to provide for
these students.
•On one hand , it's " maintain a
steady state ," while , on the
other, there 's talk of floating a
$20 million bond for construction
and expansion costs.
The essential elements at play
include :
•LCC ' s current financial
squeeze, precipitated by state
legislative struggles over who or
what gets how much of what little
money exists.
•Whether LCC should curtail its
open-door enrollment policy to
maintain its current size, or expand facilities to accompany an
anticipated growth in student
population .
Students may feel the impact of
the squeeze through higher tuition ; limited enrollment in a time
of rising unemployment ; and a
lower standard of education
because of fewer support services , a reduction of staff , and a
heavier load for those who remain.

and the remaining $9 million , the
next year -- without any compensation for inflation.
LCC has to cinch tight to
prepare for the governor 's proposed budget . Indeed , it has set
aside a non-allocated $1 million
emergency pool , just in case the
legislature does cut the governor 's budget an additional 10
percent.
However, if the legislature
hacks out an additional 13-16
percent instead, the $1 million
will not come close to offsetting
the cuts. By way of comparison,
Berry says last year's salary settlements alone cost the college
$1.6 million.
Aside from altruistic educational goals, an increase in enrollment usually means more state

money. Berry believes , " We are
approaching the limits of capacity
for this college. '' He says LCC
was originally designed for 6,500
full time day students , but that
the current population of 5,900 is
rapidly approaching capacity.
This explains the talk of a $20
million construction bond that
made Register-Guard headlines a
few weeks ago . Hendrickson
says ' 'The bond issue is being
presented for discussion only .
The (existing) system has more
flexibility to spread that enfollment around .''
He says , for instance , LCC can
spread class hours over a longer
day/ night period to increase
utilization of space , and can limit
home mailing of ' 'expensive class
schedules.' '
He says LCC should note inequities in programs supported by
limited funds . For example,
'' Intercollegiate athletics
generates less full time equivalent
students than , say, the infant
toddler (child development) program -- at a very high cost. ''
Another budget category the
college considers is '' labor settlements .'' Berry says the college
has always taken a position to not
allow economic problems affect
negotiating efforts . However, he
does hope that the resulting dollar
amounts stay within the $1
million already budgeted.
Classified employees (clerks ,
maintenance , etc .), have reached
a settlement and that amount of
money is known. But , the greater
faculty , the part-time teachers ,
and management have not reached this year 's settlements.
Adding misery to the budget
squeeze , the state recently
discovered an $86 million shortfall of expected revenue , turning
the situation from bad to grim.
The final toll of higher education
budget cuts will be revealed by
the close of this fiscal year in July.

by Ron Kelley
of The TORCH
Last week the LCC part-time bargaining unit believed that settlement with the administration on several contract points was so
close , they invited a mediator from Salem to aid in negotiations.
But , according to Part-Time Teacher ' s Association (PTTA)
representative David Zupan , the mediator from Salem said , " ( Her)
trip was wasted ,'' and that the administration had not presented
anything seriously different from previous offerings .
Zupan says PTT A members expressed shock and surprise at
what they called a dramatic shift in the administration 's position .
He claims the administration decided to take a harder line .
" We are going into Fact Finding with noth ing -- with most of
the issues back on the table ,'' he says .
Fact Finding involves the use of a mutually agreed upon
'' objective ' ' arbitrator recommended by the Oregon Employment
Relations Board.
Mediation , the step before Fact Finding, involves problem
resolution between separate parties. Fact Finding is structured
like a trial, with opposing parties presenting witnesses and
arguments to the Fact Finder.
Zupan accuses the administration of trying to ' 'take advantage
of the fact that this is our first contract. They seem to want us to
accept less than our minimum -- it's unacceptable, it's an insult. ·'
Zupan believes the PTT A has "given , and they 've (the administration) taken. We 've come the farthest distance ."
For example, he says the bargaining unit has dropped its demand for parity with the salary of full -time faculty to 85 percent.
He claims a precedent for this wage scale exists with contracted
faculty working summer and overload hours just over half-time .
But Hank Douda , the administration 's chief negotiator, denies
that the management has switched back on points close to settlement. He says , " That's a perception on their part. I realize they
(PTTA) were upset , but that 's an interesting perception "
While he admits the administration has not raised the dollar
amount offered in any of the three mediating sessions conducted
so far, he claims , " We have changed both the way the language
was allocated and the way the dollars were allocated in an effort to
meet some of their goals and objectives .''
He says a request for mediation after a decision to throw the
bargaining into Fact Finding is " a little outside the regular pattern ," and agrees with PTT A members that the mediator from
Salem did leave believing her trip had been wasted .
However , he denies the administration does not take the
bargaining unit seriously . Bargaining is " a legal responsibility..
.under the ORS (Oregon Revised Statutes)," he says .
Zupan says, ' 'We are appealing to students to recognize this as
a student issue as well as a part-timer issue. We urge students
who are concerned to write letters to the (LCC) Board to request,
at least , a serious approach to the part-timers , and to appear at
the June 10 board meeting to show support. "

The Current LCC Picture
At present , Bill Berry , LCC 's
budget wizard , and LCC Board
member Les Hendrickson say
there has been no talk of retrenchment or limiting enrollment.
And they agree that the sale of a
$20 million construction bond , if
any, is a couple of years away -it 's just necessary to begin contingency plans .
Yet , Berry says an additional
raise in tuition for the biennium
1983-1985 is under consideration. The current increase will
generate an additional $200 ,000 ,
but tuition provides only 25 percent of the college 's overall
revenue, while state sources bring in 40 percent.
However, Hendrickson says ,
" Most of the Board , I think , is
reluctant to charge more tuition. I
don 't see it rising. "

Following two rain-checks and the steady
gaze of the sun, the LCC Chess Club's 1981 Living Chess Match was finally held Friday, May
,22, o~ the lawn between the Center and Performing .,Arts buildings.
, The wait was well worth it.
The LCC drama department provided most of
the live chess ''pieces'' with ornate black and
white costumes, while audience members
volunteered for the four ~emaining pawn posiltions.
The noon match began as chess club member
Taj Razghi called the white moves, and Bob Mitchell, a coordinator for Adult Basic Education,
called the black moves. Razghi opened with a
traditional King's pawn to King's pawn-4 move.
Mitchell answered with the same move.
Within ten minutes, Razghi used a white
knight to capture the first piece, the black
queen's pawn, played by Dean of Instruction
Gerald Rasmussen. Stretcher bearers carried
him off the board -- a similar fate befell all captured pieces.
At 12:36 p. m., Mitchell moved 5-year-old
Cory McFarland, the black rook's pawn and the
youngest player, into position, regaining the
black queen. Prior to this move all that remained
of the calculated battle on both sides were the
two kings and Cory.
•
Six minutes later, Mitchell's black queen
checkmated Razghi's king, winning the game.
Chess club advisor John Loughlin, who
emceed and refereed the game, says the Living
Chess Match is held every two years, "just for
the fun of it." Mitchell says all participants are
volu nteers.
Mitchell, pointing· to the wide green expanse
of checker-covered lawn, asked, " Did you ever
see a setting like this for a chessboard? This is
the nicest location for a chessboard,
anywhere.''

Music-------------------------National Lampoon
White Album
California Hot Tub Rectal Ghonnorhea epitimizes the themes of
satire found in National Lampoon 's latest vinyl release , White
Album (the cover shows KKK
members playing rock and roll in
the studio). Lifestyles of New
Yorkers and Californians recieve
a great deal of insult from the
New York based comics ;
overheard conversations and
dialogue between members of the
elite cosmopolitan societies frequently pop up within the grooves
of sarcasm.

of the misfortunate pitfalls to

when associating with the jet-set.
Perrier with a twist , organic

Discoleptic features a fanatical
nightperson attempting to gain
entrance to an exclusive disco hot
spot. '' I 'm a friend of Steve
(Rubel), man.'' As the scene
switches to inside the club , snatches of snooty dialogue are
overheard . "That party had the
lowest, filthiest, sweatiest bunch
of punk rockers there you could
ever imagine. It was simply
divine . . . " " Before I was into
death I was really uptight, but
now I know that I 'll never be

Terragon cream sauce, a turd

artichoke hearts? ' '
Another play on swinging city
life is set as a parody of Sesame

features characters Bruce and
Eddy ( Bert and Ernie) , Big Blond

of course shares living quarters
with Bruce , has gotten together
with Big Blond and made some

Through his occasional concert tours , Tripp now has a
following in such places as
Denver , Seattle and Los
Angeles. Kovac calls him ' 'one
of the best known un-recorded
artists in the country ." Tripp
says that although he often felt
" desperate ," he made it
through all the contractual
hassles because , '' I believe in
my music and my art ,' ' adding
that it isn 't the false starts , but
'' being a perfectionist that is
probably the biggest frustration of my career. ''

GREGG TRIPP

After almost three years and
four unsuccessful brushes
with the Big Time, Gregg
Tripp's first album is finished
and ready for release.
During October of last year,
Tripp started recording his
album , titled Gregg Tripp .
Tripp says the album,
scheduled for release in July,
is like my baby " -- taking a
total of nine months to complete .
So far , Tripp 's career has
had its share of frustrations
and false starts. In late 1978,
executives from ABC Records
flew to Eugene, crowding The
Place to see and hear Tripp's
band, the Hotz. Impressed by
a polished, high energy rock
show featuring an elaborate
lighting system, theatrics and
smoke bombs, ABC worked
out an agreement with Hotz's
manager, Allen Kovac, president of TOA Management.
Before the contracts were
drawn up, however, ABC went
bankrupt, and was absorbed
by MCA Records.
Then, in the summer of
1979, Montage Records sent
Kovac a contract. But , before
the complex paperwork could
even be deciphered , Montage
was also absorbed by MCA ,
and the Hotz again had no
label .
A few months later ,
Capricorn Records took its
turn at folding when
negotiating with Kovac , and in
January of 1980, Feyline
Records paid the Hotz an advance , and even sponsored a
short promotional tour before
they also dissolved.
Tripp returned from this tour

a little confused. '' I was going
through some changes in my
Iife at that ti me," he says -changes that he felt had
nothing to do with his
theatrics-dominated, hard
rock show.
Taking time off to reflect his
career, he decided to eliminate
the somersaults and ' 'jumping
up and down" from his act,
producing a show which he
feels is " a little more for
real. "
'' I was confused by my
stage character," he says. "I
just wanted to be myself , and
it wasn 't myself anymore. I
still jump around a little on
some songs, but. . . '' His
voice trails off, the thought unfinished.
' ' Gregg restructured his
whole show after that ,'' says
Kovac. After returning to
Eugene clubs a few months
later, the band changed its
name from the Hotz to simply
Gregg Tripp . The music
changed from high energy ,
high volume rock to a lighter,

more pop-oriented sound.
Drummer Nol Trusty left after
differences over musical direction, and was replaced last fall
by Artie Ford . Ford joined
original Hotz members Bobby
Jones (bass, vocals), Wayne
Fuday (guitar) and Tripp
(vocals, lead guitar, piano).
The album, which consists
of 11 Tripp originals, was produced by Tripp and Fuday. It
was recorded at Tri-Ad Recording Studios in Eugene, with
Peter Lorincz engineering. Dan
Seigal plays keyboards and
contributes string arrangements to the album .
Tripp says the band will
almost definitely ('' As definitely as I can be in the rock and
roll business") add a
keyboard player to the band ,
since, he says , ' ' I think I've
gone about as far as I can go
with a four piece band. ' '
Since he writes " over a
hundred songs a year ,'' Tripp
doesn 't feel this album can be
truly representative of where

he is at, musically or personally. ''Gregg Tripp is so many
different people ,'' he says.
'' He goes through changes
just like everybody else." He
adds that the only way to
•repre.sent himself totally is to
put out several albums over a
period of years.
Although he is "proud and
real happy'' with the way his
first album is turning out,
Tripp says he is "anxious to
get this album out, to thank all
the people (on the album
credits) who have helped me
out. Then, I'm anxious to get
the next one out .. . I've got a
lot of songs. I just want to
record them. ' ' •
Irv Kratka, president of City
Sounds and Inner City
Records, considers Tripp a
' 'very unusual , creative individual. " Of the album ,
Kratka says , ' ' It's great .. . It
sounds damn good. We 're
looking at a possible hit
record. ''
Kovac agrees , saying that
Tripp has never been concep-

According to Kovac , "I t
takes a lot of personal strength
to overcome some of the heavy
downs '' of losing four record
deals in two years, but says,
' ' Gregg has been able to
recover from these things. It 's
made him a better, stronger
person.· '
" The main thing about
Gregg is that he's always
evolving . .. always capturing a
moment," adds Stan Garrett,
TOA' s national promotional
vice president. '' This is just
the beginning of a long recording career for him. ''
' ' I just want to write and
sing the best I can, and to be
respected ," Tripp says , adding that he 's writing and
thinking about music all the
time , coming up with songs
much faster than his career
happens .
'' Music is the subject of my
pain , the object of my pain , the
cause of it , and the cure of it.
When I write a good song,
that's it. It's the only healthy
high there is for me. ''

Susan Bennett:

She's teachin·g the language of film
by Joe VandenBroucke
for The TORCH

THE END. The screen fades to
black . The houselights brighten.
Cola-sticky carpet , popcorn, and
popcorn boxes mark the path as
she heads for the exit , just as she
has done a thousand times
before .
Susan Bennett , 35 , teaches
" Film as Literature " at LCC .
When she began teaching the
course in the spring of 1972 she
averaged 140 students per term .
Nine years later class size has
since leveled off some to 100
students per term -- still a
popular class by LCC standards.
In her nine years of teaching
the course , Bennett 's students
have been assigned to view more
than 300 movies -- one per week
during a 10-week term . She
averages two films a week
herself , sometimes. having to
travel to Portland to view films
that don 't or haven't yet made it
to local theatres .
She practices what she
teaches : She sees about two films
per week herself. Many times she
sees a film several times over .
She 's seen " Breaker Morant ,"
'' Annie Hall ,' ' ''The Bicycle
Thief," "The Chant of Jimmy
Blacksmith'' and ''The Return of
the Secaucus Seven' ' -- all more
than once. " I think what audiences in general need to learn
about going to movies is that you
need to go back very often to
many movies. Because movies
are far too complex to really comprehend or appreciate fully in just
one sitting."
''These films says something
very real about the human condition,'' she says. '' Breaker

!

Morant' for example , takes place
during the Boer War in 1901 , but
it's characters ' choices are our
choices as well, particularly in
relation to the Vietnam War.''
She says " good movies, like
'Breaker Morant,' really illustrate
John Donn's line that ' no man is
an island.' Good films endure
because there is something about
the characters' lives that
transcends time periods and
cultural differences and connects
with us -- as human beings.
'' Breaker Morant ' ' is an
Australian film that won 1O
Australian Academy Awards.
" American films, " she says , by
contrast, aren 't very realistic
about real life issues -- loving ,
dying , povery ... American films
usually entertain with a fastpaced story. 'Hair' and 'The
Return of the Secaucus Seven '
are exceptions rather than the
rule ."
On the other hand, "they don't
usually win Academy Awards and
let's face it, in this country
Academy Awards are box office
guarantees. It would be hard to
see some of the really strong
American films without theatres
like Cinema 7.
"European films have always
dealt with real life issues. They do
this by expecting audiences to be
interested in people not plots.
' Bicycle Thief,' for example, concerns a two-day search for a
stolen bicycle. By American standards it lacks action, but it is
always appeals to my students
because the suffering and learning is presented so that they can
identify with it.''
Whether she's teaching
American or European films her
approach is an analytical one.

psychologist Carl Jung and the
films of Federico Fellini. Before
coming to LCC she taught junior
and senior high school English for
three years. She has also been a
movie reviewer for the Springfield
News, however she enjoys
teaching college level the most.

''Teaching critical film viewing is
the same as ... (teaching) any
other subject. You break the film
into smaller parts and teach the
language of film -- camera
movements and editing. That
allows students to explore
characters, stories, settings and
ideas, similar to what they might
study in a book.''
Bennett doesn't see film
classes as minimizing the importance of print literature classes.
·'Rather than drawing people
away from traditional literature, I
have found many students who
bounce back (to reading) with
less apprehension and more interest and enthusiasm towards
written literature. In fact the bett-er the background a students
has in music, literature, art and
photography -- in essence in the
humanities -- the better film
viewer the student will be.' '
Most of her former students
now think about movies more .
''They question more. Hopefully

by the end of the term, her
students will see not only what
happens in a movie, but why it
happens .
To prepare for class and to find
out what happens and why it happens, Bennett reads American
Film , Film Comment and Film
Quarterly. She also ·reads the
movie reviews in magazines ranging from The Village Voice to The
New Yorker. And , too , she also
listens to what friends have to say
about certain movies. She
especially likes the critics and
reviews in Film Comment. '' ...
They are usually the most accurate, ' ' she says.

Stanley Kubrick and Roman
Polanski are among her favorite
directors. '' I'd go to see any of
their films . "
Bennett received her M.A. in
literature from the University or
Oregon where she studied film
under Bill Cadbury. This summer
she plans to participate in a
seminar on the works of

''There are many satisfactions
in teaching continual stimulation.
To think, to question and to
analyze. The rewards really come
when students turn-on to that
process themselves and are able
to watch a film and reach a personal insight through critical examination ," she says .

band Happy Days , is also in the
works , scheduled for release early this summer.

Area bands seek exposure

In 1963, after the Beatles exploded on the world wide music
scene, it seemed that any group
of four or five English kids who
played instruments had a record
contract.
Four years later, when the Jefferson Airplane hit with •'White
Rabbit,'· every San Francisco
band with subtle (or not so subtle) drug references in its music
was signed to a record deal.
Then, in the early '?Os, after the
Allman Brothers Band appeared,
the "Southern Rock" sound was
''It.'' After that, came the Austin,
Texas country-rock scene, and a
few years later it was newwave/ punk rock.
The record industry is
notorious for its tendency to jump
on any trend after some daring
promoter or record label hits successfully on an unexpected find.

record companies, there is a
trend for local groups to record
and release their own selfproduced discs. Among the most
prominent are Portland band
Johnny . and the Distractions ,
whose first album came out a year
ago. They were recently featured
in an article in Rolling Stone
At least, that's what Eugene magazine, and last week signed a

little record label. · . .I think I'm
really 'far out,' because I'm the

Many of these releases have
been recorded right here in

Other than Lorber, Newton and
Siegal, there has been no significant success from these regional
bands and performers, but promoters and labels from all over

This is an athletic story with a
happy ending.
Analyze for yourself. Eight LCC
women track stars roared into
San Angelo, Texas on May 21,
unexpectedly nabbed the NJCAA
second place title on May 23,(the
best finish ever in women's track
history) and screamed home
again May 24 .
They may have signed a few
autographs in between.
Mt. Hood won top honors in the
National Junior College Athletic

82 points as LCC squeeked by
Pheonix 44-42 for second and
thi rd places .
" We weren 't sure if we had second , third , or fourth before the
awards presentation ,'' recounts
Diane Hill . '' They started with
eighth and went up -- the minute
they gave third to Pheonix , we
knew we had second and

everyone went crazy, especially
Lyndell (Wilken). She was shaking everyone and we were
screaming and yelling -- it was
great!·'

And as if the team's second
place was not enough,
sophomore Lisha Lass became
the best discus thrower in the nation with a hurl of 153 feet 3 1/2
against 30 mile per hour winds.
··I've never been that up for my
throws," she admits. "I didn't
lose any adrenalin between
throws like usual."
In fact, Lass admits she was
pacing back and forth , waiting to
throw. She was so pumped she
couldn 't even watch the thrower
in front of her.
'' Lisha really kicked things off
on Thursday, " smiled Coach
Wilken . " She set the stage and
her 14 points really pulled us
through ,'' she adds.

Despite stiff national competition , the LCC men 's track team
managed to run in some personal
and school records in the NJCAA
championships held in Texas.
Titan Brad Coleman clocked a
PR and his teammates followed
along the same line in the 1600M
relay .
Saturday , May 24 , Coleman
broke his PR , set just the day
before in the 400M, showing a
flashy 47.12, which was good
enough for a school record, placing fifth in a pack of opponents.
The previous day, Coleman's
anchor leg of 46.5 in the 1,600M
aided the Titans in their school
record 3:13.99 run in the semifi nal heats. The following afternoon however , the four-man
squad only hustled in a 3:15.1 ,
much slower than first place
Odessa 's 3:06 .81 .

But Dickerson wasn't satisfied
with her time of 17:44.0 compared to Golden Valley,
Michigan's Mickey Doane who
ran a 17:38.39.
"I was too nervous. I couldn't
even sleep the night before. On

But no one complained when
Dickerson accepted both silver
medals.
Titan sophomore Anne O' Leary
complimented Dickerson 's second place finishes with one of
her own in the 1500M . O' Leary ' s

attempt at the 3,200 and , if it

''We were second throughout
the season whenever we faced
Mt. Hood -- it only seems appropriate that we finish there
again,'' she added.
Coach Wilken did some running
of her own after the announcement ceremony on Saturday .
However, she did not cross any
finish line but instead found
herself in the steeplechase pit
after being caught and dunked by
zealous team members.
Once back home and cleaned
off, Wilken said , " with two
Oregon Region 18 JC 's taking 1-2
honors, it shows a lot for Oregon
track programs and reflects on
the strength of high school
