Students alerted to hepatitis case
Analysis by Larry Swanson
of the TORCH

Two weeks ago the TORCH
learned that an instructor in
LCC's Health Occupations
Department had contracted
hepatitis.
Hepatitis, a communicable
disease affecting liver functions, can be contracted
several ways depending on the
type of hepatitis involved.
Steve Modesitt, a communtiy health nurse at the Lane
County Health Division, says
there are three varieties of the
disease caused by viruses.
He says Type A, or infec.;,
tious hepatitis, is often
transmitted by food-handlers
who don't wash thoroughly

after using the rest room; Type
or serum hepatitis, is
transmitted several ways including through sex realtions,
and contaminated devices used
in blood transfusions~ drug injections, dialysis treatment
and ear piercing; and Type
non-A, non-B hepatitis is
mainly transmitted through
blood transfusions.
He also says that Type B can
be transmitted by exposure to .
an affected person's saliva. He
says dental workers, because
they work in the mouth, are
especially susceptible to this mode of transmission.
However, they are unlikely to
transmit the disease by working in people's mouths.
The ill instructor, who is

presently on a leave of
absence, worked in the LCC
dental hygiene area and is
often exposed to peoples'
saliva.
All three types of hepatitis
cause similar symptoms -fever, fatigue, weight loss,
nausea and abdominal
discomfort followed by jaundice -- and receive similar
treatment.
The TORCH contacted the
Lane County Health Division,
Douglas White, head of the
Health Occupations Department, and several other college
administrators in an effort to
determine whether this incident presents any health
hazards to LCC students or
staff.

The Lane County Health
Division would not confirm
that an LCC employee had
contracted the disease, but
Jeannette Bobst, a clinic
supervisor in the division's
communicable disease branch,
said, "If there was a health
hazard, we would be the first
one to ring the bell.''
Hank Douda, LCC's director of employee relations, told
the TORCH that students in
the instructor's classes had
been informed that the instructor had hepatitis. But
Douda could not specify in
what manner the classes were
informed or what type of
hepatitis was involved.
At this point, the TORCH
determined since students had

government's budget, and 10
percent for the administrative
costs incurred with the
machines. Last year the
ASLCC earned over $20,000
from these sources, using the
money to pay for on-campus
performances by bands and
other entertainers, and to sup..
port student clubs and ASLCC
activities.
In fact it was the ASLCC
which suggested bringing
video games to campus last
year as another source of income to supplement vending
revenues and pay for a proposed campus recreation room,
,according to ASLCC President Ruben Robles.
But that plan was temporarily shelved because of
difficulties- in finding a
suitable space for a recreation
room that would not interfere
with the activities of other
departments, reports Robles.
This summer, the suggestion
for video games came up again
when the Department of
Athletics demonstrated the
need for some source of funds
to support athlete travel to intercollegate competitions. An
ad hoc committee under the
Dean of Students' jurisdiction
then approved the installation
of the video games on a trial
basis.

two-month period between
August and Oct. 12. But instead of being allocated to the
Associated Students of LCC
as is the policy with all other
campus vending machine
revenues, this money is being
deposited into a new and
specialized account.
Initially earmarked for the
Athletic and Performing Arts
Departments, LCC's share of
video game receipts will be used to pay for travel expenses
when students compete or perform as individuals or in teams
or groups associated with
LCC. LCC staff members will .

this travel fund, according to
Dean of Students Jack Carter.

was in the public domain. And ,
there were no guarantees that
students were thoroughly informed.
We stated earlier that it was
difficult for someone working
in the mouth to transmit Type

B.

But dental workers are
susceptible to contracting the
disease from their subjects.
This factor points to a possible
serious oversight by health and
college officials and leads
directly to our primary reason
for pursuing this matter.

for such funds do not otherwise exist. "
Not Limited to Athletes

Although this special travel
account was originally ear.:
marked for students in the
Athletics and Performing
Arts, Carter says students
from all departments can
qualify as long as the terms of
the policy are met. Carter's office is now developing application procedures.
Carter adds that the video
games are at LCC on a trial
basis through an informal
agreement with a local vending
company,
Amusement
Unlimited, Inc., which submitted the best current ''bid''
-- which means the best split of
the total receipts, in this case,
50-50. A formal contract is
pending upon the completion
of the bidding process, says
Carter.
According to Bert Dotson,
assistant to the college president, LCC has ''no policy for
or against electronic games."

gave us many practical laws;
e.g., "Work expands so as to
fill the time available for its
completion." Were he a community college employee, he
could probably create aditional axioms directly relevant
to us. Here are a few
possibilities:
• Staff members think they
are running the school. Administrators believe they are in
control. Students do not listen
to either group.
• Students never ask questions for fear of being thought
ignorant. Instructors never ask
questions for fear of being
told "no.,, The only thing administrators know how to ao
is ask questions.
• Most "real" learning takes
place outside of the classroom,
yet classroom lectures are still
the most heavily emphasized
form of collegiate instruction.
• The first comment made to
any suggestion: It will never

The list could go on, but
what would be the point?
Pessimism hardly ever cures illness, fixes flat tires or wins
football games. It never improves educational institutions. Besides, Lane Community College is a darn good
school with fewer problems
than most. Praise rather than
criticism is more appropriate.
Do we really need a Productivity Center? The answer is
yes and no.
The Productivity Center's
mission (as directed by President Schafer and the Productivity Steering Committee) is
''to optimize the use of
resources that enable growth
for students, community and
staff in a quality work environment.,, This is certainly a
task which has always concerned our staff, but several
factors make its achievement
increasingly difficult. ,
First, our financial base is
rapidly eroding. State funds
for the next fiscal year are
presently set at the same level
as this year with no allowance
for the inflating economy.
There is a possibility that a
special session of the
Legislature may reduce funding even further. Either of

these situations will force us to
economize.
Second,
technology is advancing faster
than it can be assimilated into
the educational environment.
It has been said that if our
thousand year old ancestors
were to return from the dead,
they would be totally dazed by
world-wide changes, but feel
right at home in our schools.
LCC is a national leader in
video instruction, computing
and other alternative instructional techniques, but voice
synthesizers, satellite communication systems and enormous data banks already make
us obsolete. The human element of education must never
be replaced; however, if
machines can make some instruction more effective and
efficient, it is our responsibility to change.
Third, education is not immune to the new cultural and
societal values of our staff and
students.
Participative
management with more
employee input is a way of life
in the world,s most productive
businesses/industries. LCC
should follow suit.
The LCC Productivity
Center will provide active support for our staff and students
in coping with these three
challenges. We will soon be
announcing a Productivity
Suggestion Program to solicit
cost cutting and instruction
improving ideas. Our Quality
Circle Program is already
functioning in six areas --Downtown Center Adult
Education
Secretaries,
Mechanics
Aviation l
Maintenance, Women,s Programs, Data Processing Programmers, Study Skills and
Social Science. The result is
more staff participation in
quality of work life improvement.
We will also be helping administrators more carefully
define and measure the
school,s educational outcomes
so productivity can be
recognized and rewarded.
, These all take time, and
space here restricts explanation of all the details;
however, staff and students
are already feeling pos1t1ve
results from our efforts.
And now back to the question of whether LCC needs a
Productivity Center. Yes,
right now we do. But once our
productivity is defined and
measurable, once everyone
totally understands their roles
in solving our problems, and
once we have a stronger, more
supporting and trusting staff
team, it will no longer need to
exist. Good-by Productivity

Letters
DoUars fo·r blood
To The Editor;

It is a sad state of affairs
when the TORCH can glorify
the role of a plasma center
during an economic depression. When folks are working,
it is not uncommon for them
to sweat for a dollar; · when
you're poor and unemployed,
you can bleed for a dollar.
True, if the recipient is lucky
that plasma could save their
life -- but at what cost?
Although the machines that
spin the blood and the staff
who run the center cost a lot to
maintain, the end price for
that pint of plasma is often
$50 to $i00, and more! Those
who have their lives saved can
now look forward to spending
the rest of their lives in debt -paying for inflated medical
bills whose cost is increased by
similar methods in all areas --from plasma to drugs, to doctors, to hospitals.
Can,t you balance your view
with a nice article about the
Red Cross? Although they are
also imperfect, they ask you to
donate your blood for free.
(And please note that freely
given blood is a donation,
while those who are paid are
actually selling their blood
and allowing those who re-sell
it to make a profit from it.)
Those who truly donate their
blood often will receive it for
free, should they ever need a
transfusion. Sounds like a better trade-off; rn save your life
if you,ll save mine.
Personally, when my
brother or sister lays dying,
regardless of sex-race-creedcolor-or whatever, I'd rather
give them a chance to live.
Otherwise, at $10 a pint, you
put a very cheap price on that
person,s life . . . and your
own.

stand.
For instance, from the
genetic perspective, nobody
can seriously propose a child is

afterwards. If one believed

the position by proposing I)
geographical location determines whether an infant is
human (deserving legal protection or not), or 2) air contains
a magic element, which
doesn't enter the child's circulatory system until it pops
out the birth canal.
Actually, the factor which
makes us human, as opposed
to non-human, is our genetic
endowment. Remember--all
living creatures possess genes,
but our particular genes give
us our unique human
characteristics. A biopsy
(tissue sample examination)
from an unborn child yields
genes human in every respect,
yet the Supreme Court ignores
its rights just as it did when it
labeled Negroes three-fifths

Also, unlike an organ within
a woman's body, an unborn
child isn,t just a "growth.,, Its
biochemical and genetic
characteristics are human, yet
its genetic composition isn,t
identical to the mother. It also
possesses all the differentiated
cells required for individual

All things considered, can
we possibly label an unborn

350 attend Lane Forum meeting
by Randall Layton
of the TORCH

Nearly 350 people turned
out to propose solutions for
Lane County's economic problems Oct. 28 during the first
meeting of the United Lane
Forum.
The United Lane Forum is
part of an economic development effort launched by
business and government
leaders patterned after a
similiar program in San Antonio, Texas.
The other arm of that effort
is the Lane Economic Foundation, a business organization
that hopes to collect $500,000
from the business community
to finance its first year of
operations.
The focus of discussions
continued in a vein similar to
the first open meeting last
month at the Valley River Inn,
as panel members continued to
talk about economic diversification, centering on Lane
County's dependence on the
lumber industry.
After the panel discussion,
moderator Don Murray opened the floor for comments.
Suggestions varied, but one
frequently expressed theme

was that one goal of the
economic development program should be to help existing businesses survive.
Among those who spoke
was Jim Williams of Springfield. He voiced concern
that Forum sponsors have
concentrated on attracting
new industry to Lane County
prior to obtaining community
agreement about what should
be done.
Christine Taylor of Pleasant
Hill called for an expansion of
the area's agricultural market.
She said Lane County farmers
should develop foreign
markets.
Jim Trayhern of Eugene
said that this area is faced with
an ''image problem'' because
outsiders think the community
will not welcome new residents
or businesses. Trayhern proposed that area newspapers
and radio and televison stations contribute to a fund to
buy advertising to promote
this area in national magazines
such as Time and Fortune.
Michael Coan of Santa
Clara said government should
provide incentives for small
existing businesses rather than
channel efforts to attract new
industry to the community.

and other problem solving
skills. He says similar programs have been used in Japan
with great success since the
late 1950s.
Seventeen campus groups
wanted to participate in the
program, but Fast says only
six could be supported because
a limited number of trained
people were available to
organize the circles. He says
more quality circles will be
formed in January or
February.

Kathy Ging of Eugene encouraged more development

noting that solar rooftop

After the meeting, panel
members said they were pleased with the turnout and the input given.
It was also announced that a
series of workshops entitled
"Lane County's Economy:
The 80's and Beyond" will
' be held at the Lane County
Fairground's Convention
Center Nov. 19 and 20.
The workshops are cosponsored by the Lane County
Board of Commissioners,
Lane County Chamber of
Commerce and the Lane
County Department of
Employment and Training.
Topics will cover the role of
tourism in Lane County, expanding sales in foreign
markets, domestic expansion
and capital formation and
financial packaging for small
business.

''We give the children

LCC's Development Center
Learning to be a teacher can
be a difficult experience.
·Learning to be a student
isn't easy, either.
At LCC' s Child Development Center, both children
learning to be students and
students learning to be
teachers try to find out what
they need to know while functioning in the same
schoolroom atmosphere.
The campus center, licensed
for 30 kids (it has a waiting list
of 40 more) has been a haven
for 3 to 5 year old children
since the college opened in
1964-65.
The college also runs a
similar center at Dunn
Elementary School.
Working at the center

of its preschool members. The
trips are usually to local
downtown areas or to the surrounding countryside.
"Kids have a better feel for
things when they can see them
and touch them," says Temple. "The fieldtrips allow
them to experience firsthand
what they're learning about
here."

All of the activities, worked
into a weekly theme, help the
kids to concentrate on one
thing at a time while leaving
room for changes.
Another important function
of the center is to care for the
children psychologically by
helping them to say what they
feel. For example, a class com-

posed of 25 girls and just 5
boys may lead to a number of
disagreements and squabbles.
Temple says these fights are
typical for 3-to-5-year-olds,
are not serious and are solved
fairly simply.
"If a child is out of control,
we try to get him to redirect his
energies," Temple says. "We
want the kids to express their
feelings. They leave the group
until they're under control,
then they can come back. It
works pretty well.''
Temple noted that the
center is a place for positive
direction, and that "we're trying to tell the kids the things
they can do, and not the things
they can't. We're here for
'do's,' not 'don't's.' "
She added that the center is
a consistent environment for
both the children and the ECE
students, because ''they both
need something like that. They
shouldn't have to walk into a
completely different setting

every day. As it is, the kids
know the students and the
students know the kids."
As for future goals, Temple
feels that the center is doing
pretty well right now. ''This is
going to be remodeled
sometime ... maybe,'' she says,
gesturing with her hands to encompass the classroom. "The
only other thing I can think of
is an infant/toddler center -we've been trying to get one of
those for a long time, though,
and nothing's been happening.
But we're really okay here."
This being her first year as
head teacher (she has worked
at the center for five years)
Marci Temple finds herself
with a lot of responsibility.
But it's evident her job is not a
problem for her.
'' I love it,'' she says with a
smile.

whether the instructor contracted the disease from one of
his students?
• What s.teps have been
taken to guarantee that
students will be adequately informed and properly treated?
• Will students involved be
reimbursed by the college for
incurred medical expenses?
By Nov. 4, the TORCH obtained only one of the answers
to these questions: Douda told
the TORCH that the school's
insurance would cover any
medical costs incurred by affected students who consult
medical authorities, "subject
to a look by the college's insurance carriers.''
White refused to answer any
of the questions. He says the
issue is a personnel problem
not under his jurisdiction and
continually referred the
TORCH to Douda.
Finally, on Nov. 4, LCC
President Eldon Schafer, after
being queried on the subject
by the TORCH, said he
thought the information
should be released, and that he
would meet with White and
other officials.
when the
However,
TORCH attempted to contact
White at the time of publication, we were informed that he
was out of town for the evening.
Since the issue was too
crucial to pass by another
week, we decided to publish
the information we have
gathered to date.
Hepatitis Killed One Student

Conversations with health
officials don't point to an immediate health threat on campus. But this incident may
recall memories of the 1976
death of a former LCC student.

Terry Chronister had dropped out of LCC two to three
weeks before she was diagnosed as having Type B hepatitis.
How Chronister contracted
the disease was never deter-

mined. But an LCC Food Services employee had contracted
Type B hepatitis approximate1y five weeks before
Chronister was diagnosed as
having the disease.

Several other cases of the
disease involving the LCC
community were reported at
about the same time. No links
among any of these cases were
ever identified.

The TORCH's 1976
coverage of the Chronister
case pointed out what Bobst
calls hepatitis' "dirty image."

So the TORCH has crossed
the thin line between an individual's right to privacy and
the public's right to know.

She says cases of Type A, if
they pose a threat to the community, are announced to the
media. She says cases of Type
B are rarely made public
because of their limited modes
of transmission.

same person may be unaware
of his or her condition, and
may be a health threat to
others.

But the nature of the work
conditions in this case are unique. And it is possible that the
instructor contracted the
disease from an unknown person in the performance of his
job.

In that story, two of
Chronister' s friends said their
doctors' first question when
they sought medical advice
was, "Was she a junkie?"
Bobst says the use of contaminated hypodermic needles
is indeed one way to transmit
the disease, but stresses that
the disease can be transmitted
in several other ways. She says

This eventuality means that

that the form of hepatitis contracted by the instructor is
Type B.

Tenold Peterson says it is I
obsession to transform I
ideas through this medium.
Last week an exhibition
his stained glass art opened
the LCC Gallery. Looking
many of his art pieces at t

Three of those five years
were spent slaving over the
drawings, and the remaining
two years spent in constructing
the window.
Stained glass tends to be an
expensive medium. His
"Panels of the Flamingos,"
another object at the current
exhibit, cost $14,000 to create,
according to Peterson.
The climate for sales of stained glass has been good
until recently. In Peterson's
case, private individuals purchase his work more than do
businesses.
Peterson is critical of some
of what passes for st~ined
glass art. "Most of it is pretty
bad in general," he says. "A lot
of it is treated as a craft and con

sequently it doesn't have the
impact of an art form.'~
In each of Peterson's works
several different types of glass
are used. In the Winged
Elephant alone he used five or
six types. He purchased some
in Portland, some in Eastern
United States and some in
Europe. "You can go to a
glass store and they will carry
five or six different manufacturers, so you don't have to
always travel great distances,''
he says.
Tenold Peterson is a man of
many facets, just like the glass
with which he works. Peterson
has been an instructor at LCC
for seven years now because,
he says, "I felt I had a debt to
pay and I didn't want to be a
full-time instructor, so I decided to teach one class."
Peterson resides in Junction
City where he has two studios
approximately the size of the
LCC Gallery. One is for cutting glass, and the other for
machines he uses in his work.
To view more of Peterson's
work, a trip to the Mill Camp
Restaurant in Springfield
where his work is a permanent
fixture is bound to be a
delightful experience.

Move On explores self-expression

•

Dance highlights worksho p llluminatu s author to
by Paula Case
of the TORCH

Move On is a specially
designed dance workshop to
help people who want to dance
but find themselves face to
face with inhibitions.
Inspired by the teachings of
Anna Halprin and her Movement Ritual, Betty Edwards'
book Drawing from the Right
Side of the Brain, and Ruth
Zapora's exploration of sound
and movement, instructor Liz
Jeans hopes to help people
"have a better understanding
of themselves."
Jeans' workshop will focus
on the "Movement Ritual."
The ritual includes moving
yoga positions and breathing.
With a partner's aid,
workshop participants will be
guided through the ritual.
After becoming physically

familiar with it, additional
layers are added to that foundation.
Participants will be adding
on such layers as voice, experiments with sounds and
verbal images, and a clearer
perception of ones movement
through space.
Drawing will also be incorporated in the workshop by
using Betty Edwards' book
"Drawing From the Right
Side of the Brain." Edwards
emphasizes methods for tuning in to the intuitive side of
the brain.
Jeans explains that the right
side of the brain is the creative
side and the left side is
analytical. She says assumptions that use of the creative
part of the brain is a gift -something you're born with -are false: "It's not just a little
gift. It can be trained."
Jeans emphasizes that her

hold tension and how to
release it," she says, "It's nice
for people to see something
they thought they couldn't do
and bring it within their
reach.''
Jeans, a dance instructor at
the Community Center for
Performing Arts (CCP A), has
been teaching for five years.
The inspiration for her new
workshop came from experimentations with Anna
Halprin 's movement ritual
while recently visiting San
Francisco.
Jeans hopes to make the
workshop a regular event. "I
can't imagine expression not
being important to anyone.''
The workshop will be held
Nov. 9-12 from 7-9 p.m. at the
WOW Hall (8th and Lincoln).
The cost
for the entire
workshop is $25.

KLCC schedules fund-rais er
by Lee Evans
for the TORCH

Won't you put your money
where your ears are?
KLCC will "radiothon"
through the week of Nov.
9-16, broadcasting for a goal
of $25,000.
Faced with cutbacks in
federal and local support,
'' KLCC is more dependent on
listener support than ever
before," according to KLCC
Development Director Paula
Chan-Gallagher.
She says the average pledge
from supporters of past
radiothons is $20, which
works out to be a nickle a day
for steady listeners. Supporters will receive a program
guide for a year, a bumper
sticker, and "quality programming throughout the year,"
says Gallagher.
KLCC is depending on
radiothon pledges to pay a remaining match of $15,000 to
the National Telecommunica-

tions Information Act (NTIA)
equipment grant. As a result
of the NTIA grant, KLCC:
• Has tripled its power to
30,000 watts.
• Has installed translators in
Oak Ridge and Cottage
Grove. A third translator is
currently being installed in
Florence.
• Will rebuild antiquated
studios with state-of-the-art
equipment.
As a community service to
Lane Community College,
KLCC receives about 50 percent of its budget from the college's general fund, 25 percent
from the Corporation of
Public Broadcasting and 25
percent from semi-annual
radiothons.
Businesses from Lane
County will donate premiums
to be given away to pledgers.
Premiums vary including a
haircut at Creative Id, a case
of wine at Amity Vineyards
and a $25 gift certificate at

Gallagher says that besides
providing needed funding for
KLCC operations, the
radiothon also lets the station's producers prepare
special programming that exhibits the variety and capability of community radio. Some
of these efforts include:
• Monday 11 p.m. -- Live
electronic music performed by
Peter
Nothnagle
and
Devarahi. Nothnagle will also
feature previously unaired
work from Eugene area electronic music composers.
• Tuesday 3:30 p.m. -- Interviews with the 1981 Monterey

• Wednesday noon -- A

• Thursday, 7:30 p.m. -Songs of work, struggle, and

''The purpose of the supplement is two-fold," says Evans.
"We hope to cultivate an interest in literature and art, and
promote the magazine itself.''
Evans says Denali Now,
the TORCH s·upplement, is
"designed to get input into
Denali for the final product.
More people are going to see
it. Hopefully more people will
submit their work."
Evans is engineering other
projects to promote both
publications. Students have
until Nov. 13 to enter a short
story contest. The winning
short story will receive $25 and
will be published in Denali
Now and the literary/arts
magazine.
Evans' second project is a
jurored art show for students
Dec. 1-5. The show, designed
to promote works of art in the
community, will be held at
Project Space Gallery with
juror Jim Aday, director of
the Kairos Gallery in Eugene.
A $25 juror award will be offered. Students may enter up
to three pieces of work before

Freshman goalie Joe Wright

Wednesday as the LCC men's
soccer team defeated the
University of Oregon 2-0.

'' I was pleasantly surprised," said Wright of his catch.
"It was a good, hard kick. I :
just anticipated that it would
come to the right side of the
goal."
"Joe is a young and new
player,'' said Coach George
Gyorgfalvy. ''He is at his peak
in performance right now. He
made a catch that most goalies
have never done.''

Soccer

The men's soccer team
scored two victories this past
week, defeating the University
of Oregon 2-0 and Lewis and
Clark Community College 4-0.
The wins evened the Titans'
record at 3-3.
The Titans will travel to
Clackamas this Saturday to
face the undefeated Cougar
team.
Coach
George
Gyorgfalvy says the game is an
important one to the team. A
victory would put the men into
the play-offs, a defeat would
kill the team's playoff hopes.
"Things do not look good
for us right now. If we lose to
Clackamas, we will fall to 3-4
in league play, • and OSU
(currently in fifth place) has an
easy match this week. If they
win, they will pass us in the
league standings."
Clackamas defeated Lane
last year 1-0.

hardly gave opponents a surge

But once her opponents

"Although she's short," says
Jacobsen, " Karen is an adequate jumper, and has super
hitting ability at the net.' '
If statistics can mirror a
player' s ability, then Harris
could find herself on the AllLeague, All-Region, and
possibly All-American squad.
According to the team
statistics, Harris is slicing and

sparkling 11-3 record. Harris,
who prepped at Thurston
High Scj;iool in Springfield
where she was an All-District
volleyball player, set for last
year's team .
"It was to ugh," says Harris
of not making the playoffs.
" We played good all season.
But competition was excellent,
and we just missed out." But
that finish reversed itself this
year as Harris took over the
front line.
Another big addition to the
Titans' success story was
Angel Humphrey, a transfer

This year's success didn't
develop overnight for either
Harris or the team . It began
last season when the Titans
collected only third place in
league play, despite their

from last year's Region 18
champion, Clackamas. Humphrey's outstanding setting
ability usually climaxes with
Harris drilling away at the opposition.
But things could have been
different fo r LCC's volleyball
team . When Harris and her
teammate Carla Johnson were
both fresh out of high school
two years ago, Umpqua Community College in Roseburg
had offered both athletes
scholarships to play volleyball
and basketball.
"Carla and I were planning
to go there,' ' says Harris of
Umpqua. "But we couldn't
find an apartment, so we came
back. I'm glad we did,
Eugene is a little bit livelier,''
she laughs.
As for her chances of moving onto a four-year college to
play volleyball, Harris' situation appears bright. Jacobsen
says, "She and Carrie Davidson are the two players that
major colleges have talked to
us about. She can make it at
that level of play because of
her special talent to communicate and control the flow
of the action on the court.''
Harris says she's first looking for a JV program and then
to work her way onto the varsity team. "I wouldn't mind
OSU or Oregon,'' she says,
"but I'm only 5-6 and that's
not too tall for that level of
competition."
Looking towards the
regional and possible national
battles that loom ahead, Harris is excited and says, "I don't
know if I'm nervous. I've
never been to a state playoff or
anything like it so I know I
can't wait to see it."
Chances are the short but
loud hitter from Lane will
make quite an impact on her
opponents -- once they meet
her across the net.
