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 EDITOR HeIdI Sw1llmger ASSOCIATE EDITOR.

Jeff Saint 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.

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 . Sports scene by Kelly Cheney of The TORCH 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.

Semester versus quarter The draft Ford recalls Nicaragua by Mara Math of The TORCH by Ron Kelley of The TORCH by Mara Math of The TORCH 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 Selective Service has Labeling on cigarette packages recently reinstated local draft works as a warning against the boards on a "standby" basis.

"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.

''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.'' -EARN MONEY WHILE YOU STUDY DONATE PLASMA Bring your -books into Eugene Plasma Corp.

(' '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. • One proposal put forth would be an interlocking series of matching grants, with LCC, CETA n•on~s® UcLVBROOM e've always got a reason to have a HAPPY ljOUR d' ISUND~ Video JOGGER'S Games HAPPY HOVR 'TH..

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.

The TORCH May 28 - J.....a, 1981 Page 5 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.

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.

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.

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.''

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. A Perrier Junkie explains some of the misfortunate pitfalls to avoid (Am I doing this right?) when associating with the jet-set. Perrier with a twist , organic salads , jogging (headbands, sweat-suits, running shoes , the whole sick trip) are a few of the terrible habits that this anonymous member of the In Crowd warns of . ' 'And of course I was subscribing to all of these magazines -- Apartment Life, New West, New Times, High Times . . . " 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 without responsibility until I 'm dead. Frankly, I can 't wait. . . '' New Yorkers seem to appreciate pigeon jokes . In Robert Caucasian vs. Squab Bob is informed •that he has just finshed eating one of our feathered freinds that frequent city sidewalks and statues. He, on the other hand , is less fond of the cooing creatures . " You mean to tell me that I Just ate a flying rat in Terragon cream sauce, a turd with feathers , a sewer falcon with artichoke hearts? ' ' Another play on swinging city life is set as a parody of Sesame Street. Christopher Street features characters Bruce and Eddy ( Bert and Ernie) , Big Blond ( Big Bird) , and mentions the Gaea Monster. It seems Eddy , who of course shares living quarters with Bruce , has gotten together with Big Blond and made some sort of menage-a-trois arrangement. It's not my scene , it 's not your scene , different strokes and all that ,' ' philosophizes Eddy. Brought to you by the letters KY, Christopher Street allows for a 11 quick but welcomed appearence by Mister Rogers (Can you say personal lubricant? Sure.). Lampoon is noted for their excellent mimicry of musical performers (Lemmings , Radio Din ner , Rock and Roll Issue) . This set includes parodies of country, punk , raggae , Bruce Springsteen, Dylan, and the Who. But only two rather short cuts contain all of the above . With the backing of steel guitars, a Johnny Cash type (Tony Scheuren) sings praises to the sometimes forgotten backbone of our great land in What About Reupholsterers? There 's a lot of songs about truckers and about miners/and cowboys have their share of praises sung/but what about locksmiths , receptionists and reupholsterers/Don ' t they deserve some thanks for what John Belushi, Christopher Guest and Chevy Chase also make an appearence posing as Clint Eastwood , Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin . The three Hollywood He-men are announcing to the world that they are gay, and they further expose the feminine preferences of other " little girls that can 't come out of the closet " such as Dick Butkis , Paul Newman and Jerry Garcia. If you ·re an avid reader of Nation Lampoon 's Humor Magazine for Adults (Adult what?) you may recognize Fartman , which was a comic in one 1979 edition . Dated from 1972-1980, some of these skits may be retreaded chuckles for Lampoon fans . But you know what they say -- you can 't make a fool out of all of the people , all of the time . by Jeff Saint tualized as a local or regional artist , but has always been pushed as a national act. 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 they done? II Photo by Phi l Armstrong . 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.

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.

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. ! ! ~ ~1~,..,,._,,..,,.-.,,_..,,.....,,,,_._,,_..,,~,_..,,,~,AP'l~IAlll'l..,l~I~ What has Three arms -4 eyes• several ears, And never used drugs?

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 . Ticket please .

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 promoter Allen Kovac and New multi-album deal with A&M York City record executive Irv Records.

Another Photo by Phil Armstrong Saar, a student at LCC, says of his record label, '' I started it as a joke at first. I like to do things that are fun and not pretentious. I like to make fun of myself with my little record label. · . .I think I'm really 'far out,' because I'm the only record label president going to LCC that I know of.' ' Many of these releases have been recorded right here in Eugene , with Tri-Ad Recording Studios and Producer's Studio taping most of the product. Some of the other projects in the works include albums by True North (formerly Seafood Mama) ; Monti Amundson and Nol Trusty; Lodestar (from Corvallis) ; Gospel artists Cornerstone and Jeff Kropf ; as well as new releases by the Sneakers and Friesen . Singles scheduled in the near future include songs by Tommy Smith , Dream ' r, the Goats , Terry Bell and D.B. Bonham . 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 the country are looking for a new source of energy to breathe life into the sagging record industry. Many local artists are hoping that some of this new life will come out of Eugene .

" 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. Besides her discus conquest , Lass also tallied points for the Titans , taking fourth in the javelin with a 141 feet 1 toss .

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 .

On the track, the heat hit me about five laps from the finish and my lap times dropped. She (Doane) definitely had more leg speed at the end and kicked right by me. '' 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 4:41.78 bettered her personal best by three seconds , setting a new school record . '' With two laps to go , she looked boxed in ," remembers Dickerson .
