New LCC
Analysis by Michael Bailey
of the TORCH

Mexican and American
students will benefit educationally and culturally from
the new Mexico-LCC instructional agreement -- alth~_~g!i
it's impossible to tabulate
those benefits.

Free Future (SNUFF) and
Citizen Action for Lasting
Peace (CALS) -- sponsored
"The World Held Hostage:
A Symposium on the Threat
of Nuclear War" at the
University of Oregon Nov.
10-13.
Presentations ranging
from a slide show on the
medical effects of a nuclear
war to a convocation on current developments in nuclear
warfare were presented by
the groups Tuesday and
Wednesday. Two films, "Dr.
Strangelove'' and ''The War
Game," will be shown Nov.
12 and 13 to raise money for

the symposium.
Dr. McCaully's presentation, '' After the Bomb Has
Dropped: Medical and Civil
Defense Plans," focused on
the medical problems victims
of a nuclear attack would
face.
McCaully, a member of
Physicians for Social
Responsibility, says most
medical facilities,- since they
.are concentrated in large
population centers, would .be
destroyed in a nuclear attack.
Projections show that only
1 doctor for every 1,000 people would survive a nuclear
attack and that it would take

The US' civil defense
evacuation plans, says McC au 11 y, are "patently
ridiculous'' because they rely
on a warning of at least eight
days and present massive
transportation and housing
problems.
And he adds that civil
defense sheltering plans are
viable in only a few communities and present several
technical difficulties.
University of Oregon
faculty members joined in
symposium efforts on Nov.
11 when they held a public
meeting in conjunction with
a nationwide convocation entitled "Developments in
Nuclear Warfare."
Aaron Novick, biology
department head and a
member of the Ma_phattan
project which developed the
first atomic bomb used on
Japan during World War II,
moderated the meeting.
Novick says, ''The
rhetoric of the present administration being much
more aggressive . . . that's
frightening to people.'' But
he adds that ''unless we have
an informed public, the
government won't behave
responsibly" in efforts to
control the arms race.

Steve Johnson, a doctoral
student in sociology, discussed the strategy used by participants in the arms race. He
says the United States may
give the Soviet Union the impression that we are preparing for a first strike if the US
deploys MX missiles in silos
rather than mobile launch
sites.

Johnson gives the following scenario:
• Soviet nuclear weapons
are capable of destroying silo
based missiles.
• Soviet leaders are aware
that US leaders know this
fact.
• Soviet leaders must,
therefore, construe that US
intentions for silo based
missiles are to increase first
strike capabilities.
On Nov. 10 in a discussion
called '' Are the Russians
Really Coming?" Johnson,
representing the Pacific Northwest Research Center,
joined David Milton, a
sociology professor, and
Rick Skayhon of the Young
Americans for Freedom.
Other Symposium topics
included "Atomic Workers
and Atomic Victims.''
'' Rising Protests: Peace
Movements Abroad,''
"What are your Rights in
Regard to the Draft'' and
''The Draft: Why Would We
Need It?"
In addition to the symposium, SNUFF and CALS
held a "Die-in" at the Erb
Memorial Union on Nov. 11.

Best laid plants

The Pacific Gas & Electric
Company blames failures in its
"quality assurance program"
for the recently discovered
flaws in its Diablo Canyon
nuclear plant on the California
coast.
But the fact that its
engineers read diagrams
backward and hadn't the foggiest notion what the safety
equipment around the reactor
weighed "could not have led
to any danger," the company's president, Barton W.
Shakleford, assured the
public.
And in case the public needs
any more assurance than that,
I personally called on Dr. Jojo
Zippy, the Quality Assurance
Program's chief assurer.
Dr. Zippy's office is located
on the 34th floor of company
headquarters, which yo,, reach
by pushing the down button
three times. I opened the door
and found Dr. Zippy seated at
his desk next to the window.
Unfortunately, the desk faced
the door so that he was seated
on the window ledge. But he
looked happy.
I placed his doorknob on his
blotter and he . offered me a
cup of coffee. "Cream or
sugar?" he asked, pouring.
"Yes, please, and a cup,

said. "I see by your clerical
collar that you're a priest.
That must be helpful in your
work."
"Clerical collar?" said Dr.
Zippy, frowning. "Oh, darn!
That happens every time I get
dressed in front of a mirror.
But you're here to talk about
our Quality Assurance Program."
"Yes, exactly what is it you
do, Doctor?"
"Well, every time I bump
into somebody, I say 'Hey!
Believe you me have we ever
got a quality nuclear plant
down there at Diablo Canyon.
It's got a very, very nice parking lot, one of the finest in the
country, and -- wow! -- you

'' I understand it overlooks

said Dr. Zippy, "that's not
our fault. That's the
geologists' fault. If they

wouldn't have found our

their fault. But the press is so

the two little mistakes we
made. Not once do they talk
about all the things we did
right. Did you know that every
single door at that plant opens
and shuts, qne way or
another?''

To The Editor:
Contrary to rhetoric of the
pro-abortion movement abortion does cause psychological
harm to many women who
undergo it. Too bad
"pro-choicers" are so busy
pushing their cause that they
ignore the disadvantages and
dangers of abortion.
4,500 women who all had
abortions, and now wish they
hadn't, banded together to
form "Women Exploited" -an organization dedicated to
presenting the truth concerning the harmful psychological
and physiological effects abortion has on women. They hope
other women won't make the
same mistake they made. In an
article, "The Psycholgical
Damages of Abortion," by
Stephanie Overman, W .E. cofo under Denise Thomas
states, "We founded the
group because we were all feeling guilty. All of us had problems and felt what we had
done was wrong.'' She added,

\

i

dows go up and down and
even vice versa. I've compiled
a list of the things we did right
and it totals 378-18-4454. No,
that's my Social Security
number. Here it is. We did
18,787,263 things right. Make
that 1,878,726. Hold it! That
reads 187,872... Do you happen to have a fly swatter?''

I said it didn't much matter
how many things the engineers
did right. What concerned the
public was that one tiny
mistake in dealing with
nuclear power and . . .
"Not to worry," said Dr.
Zippy. "Take my word, we'll
never find another. It makes
people nervous. And talk
about quality! Just examine
this model of the plant I'm
finishing according to these
explicit directions: 'Knit one,
purl two; knit one, purl. .. ' "
'' Excuse me Doctor. That
looks like a baby's bootie."
"Nonsense! You must be
wrong. Let me just step back
for a better . .. Ai-yee!"
But the public shouldn't fret
about this last little mistake of
the Quality Assurance Program. We can be certain the
utility company has plenty
more asurance where that
came from.

"We try to tell them (women)
about the long-range problems.''
Their organization feels
abortion is an injustice heaped
upon many women by insincere boyfriends and
husbands trying to avoid
responsibility associated with
relationships, greedy abortion
doctors, and pro-abortion activists (male and female) who
care nothing for the individual
woman or child. These interests intentionally hide the
disadvantages and alternatives
-- including adoption -- from
the woman. For instance, Ms.
Thomas states, "People at the
clinic will tell the woman
anything to get her to feel at
ease and to get her into the
procedure room," and, "The
first place a woman goes at the
clinic is the cashier's office.
After the abortion they don't
want to see her again."
Abortion hurts many
women, and those saying
otherwise either I) haven't
done their homework, or 2)
prefer the facts remain undisclosed.

Problem society
To the Editor:
In the article Opinion
RCYB, a point was well made:
two wrongs never make a
right.
I believe that not only are
the justices in the Yellow Ribbon Trial guilty of justice
perversion, but Society too by
far and large is also at fault.
Case in point ar·e the
movies, museums, and
memorabilia made of places
and incidents in honor of the
people who, in their own time,
made theqi famous through
vicious criminal acts!
Relatively recent exa~ples
are Bonnie and Clyde movies
(oh, didn't they love each
other; how sad they had to
die); the Valentines Day
Massacre with big scenes on
John Dillinger's soap-andboot polish prison escape
("how clever!"); and the conversion of the entire town of
Crown Point, Ind., (from
where he escaped) into a
nostalgic remembrance · of his
boldness and clever wit!!
Very recent examples are the
exoneration of ex-President
Nixon, the acceptance of the
Shah of Iran into the U.S.
(poor guy: king without a
country); played-up reporting
on the Jonestown Massacre,
and the sympathetic reporting
of Bobby Sands' death (he was
put into prison for being a
known terrorist.)
All these people mocked the
law publicly, defiantly,
destructively. They had no
regard for anyone except their
own selfish person, yet now
they are extolted, memorialized in a good light. What
justice is that?
The Bible Prophet Micah
said, "He has shown you, 0
man, What is good and what
the lord requires of you; only
do justice and love mercy and
walk humbly before the Lord"
(Micah 6:8)
Their criminal shame may
have in one sense become our
enjoyment (or worse,

monetary profit), but in the
truest sense, for the
"Partakers," their shame has
become our shame.
Gaea Foster

What is life?
To The Editor:
In response to Michael •
Cross's "To the Editor" of
11-5-81.
To paraphrase an instructor: "I haven't stopped
beating my wife ... but then I
never started ... For you to stop
something implies that you
started something.''
The life of a fetus within its
mother does not start with the
twist of a key as in your car. A
fetus' life process is a
biological continuum of
cellular division, of which
genetics is but one facet. I am
a continuum of my parents;
they are a continuum of their
parents, et cetera. Therefore,
how can a mother be accused
of stopping something (the
process of life), if she never
started it?
To quote you. "In order to
condone abortion, some say
human life doesn't begin until
birth. Unfortunately, these
people rarely examine the issue
enough to realize the absurdity
of their stand.''
I believe that in condoning
or condemning abortion, most
people do not even have a
viable definition as to what
constitutes life itself (human
or otherwise), and that unfortunately these people will not
examine the issue to its fullest
extent as it may threaten the
very philosophy upon which
their personal life or religion is
based.
Clearly abortion is a matter
for men to debate. But why
did God make such a clear
distinction between man and
woman, so that men could tell
women how to have or not to
have children while the men
debate what is right or what is
wrong? I think the ultimate
answer is best left to ''them,''
not us.

Oregon Country Fair
property in ieopardy
by Vickie Crill
of the TORCH

Can you imagine summer
without the Oregon Country
Fair?
Neither could the 60 people
who attended an Oct. 18
meeting held at Harris Hall in
the Lane County Public Service Building. The discussion
at the meeting led to the decision to begin f undraising for
the purchase of the 242 acres
where the fair has been held
for the last 11 years.
The land is being actively
marketed by its owners,
Western Aero Corporation, an
investment trust. It is currently
listed for sale in the Wall
Street Journal with an asking
price of $350,000.
The goal to raise $50,000 to
match another $50,000 currently held would provide a
down payment on the land and
cover operating expenses for
the 1982 fair.
Approximately $25,000 has
already been pledged. The
target date for contributions is
Nov. 15, with donated monies
to be paid in full by March 15.
The land is zoned for
agriculture and has been partially successful in producing
hay, due to natural watershed
and overflow from the Long
Tom River. However, the ma-

jority of the area is underwater
for as long as two weeks, making it highly undesirable for
housing development.
But it seems to be the only
suitable place in Eugene for •
the fair. A fair site committee
was formed two years ago with
the task of seeking and viewing possible fair sites. They
were unsuccessful and gave the
argument that if another site
was located, moving the fair
operations could be very complicated. They worried that the
special magic the area holds
could not be transferred.
The fair was first held in
1968 in Veneta and was moved
to the current site after the second year.
The Oregon County Fair is a
non-profit organization,
which allows a 100 percent tax
deduction on contributions. A
Charter Membership Plan has
been implemented, with two
types of memberships being
offered: An Individual
membership at $100, and
Booth Charter Members at
$300. Other fundraising activities will take place if needed.

or her living expenses, which
means an additional $63,600,
most of which is spent in Lane
County.
Obviously, the Mexican
government will want to be
assured that its total expenditures of over $120,000
through LCC and the 12
students this year will benefit
the students, and ultimaely
Mexico's agriculture. But the
program may continue next
year.
Bert Dotson, assistant to
LCC President Eldon Schafer,
says ''we are currently being
pressured (by the Mexican
·government) to commit
ourselves to a second ~~ar. It is
on schedule and loolfs to be
fairly successful." However, a
midterm review will be needed
to determine that contracted
costs are being met by the
Mexican government, according to Dean Piercey.
Isidro Suarez, the bilingual
agriculture mechanics instructor, also specualtes that the
Mexican government will want
to bring another first-year
group to LCC next year, and
extend the current program into a second year.
LCC became involved in
Project MUSTT through its
membership in the League for
Innovation in the Community
College, a consortium of 54
community colleges from the
entire nation. When The Na-.
tional Council for Science and
Technology of Mexico began

looking for an organizaiton in
the US to implement Project
MUSTT, it turned to the
League.
The ·League's only member
an agriculturual
with
mechanics program, LCC
became host to the 12 Mexican
students who needed instruction in that discipline.
The League was founded in
1968. According to its own circulars, it is a consortium of the
most innovative community
college districts in the. US, and
includes in its membership 54
campuses from 12 states with a
combined enrollment of
850,000 students.
LCC became a League
member in 1973 and pays
$4,000 each year in membership dues. The College also
pays the cost of sending its two
representatives, President
Eldon Schafer and his assistant Bert Dotson, to the
League's semi-annual board
meetings.
Dotson says the membership is worth the cost. "The
purpose of the League for Innovation is to improve
teaching," he says. "The
percentage we pay for this
quality is a small part of our
$24 to $25 million yearly college budget. If we didn't
allocate the money, we
wouldn't get returns."
When asked to place a
dollar value on LCC's return
for its membership, he replied
that "one can't relate the total
value of the membershiop in
dollars.''

No, this LCC student isn't being cruel to
animals. The device pictured above is the
result of a project in David Joyce's Introduction to Visual Arts class. Members of the class
were required to design and build structures

that would allow an egg to be dropped from a
second-story platform onto the concrete
without breaking. About half of the eggs survived the fall, and the other half ... well, those
students had egg on their faces.

Brown Bag Talks features film
by Morgan Trump •
for the TORCH

''The lesbian world is not a
very well-known world
because it;s been relatively
secretive. The reality is that
there are lesbian women in all
walks of life ... , "says Beverly Behrman, coordinator of
the LCC Women's Awareness
Center.
The film "Straight Talk
will be
About Lesbians,"
shown on Nov. 17, 18 and 19
in the Administration
Building's boardroom as part
of the year-long Brown Bag
Talks. This movie will be ex-

ploring a diversity of lesbian
lifestyles.
Brown Bag Talks are held at
lunch time twice a month on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or
Thursdays in the boardroom,
providing information about a
wide variety of issues of interest to women. The idea is
for both men and women to
bring a lunch -- in a brown bag
or on a cafeteria tray -- and
participate in the discussion
while passing the noon lunch
break.
Part of the LCC Women's
Program's purpose is to dispel
false stereotypes and impart

more complete information
about people. Anne Stewart,
director of the Women's
Awareness Center says,
"We've been working to
loosen stereotyped ideas and
let each person develop their
own potential -- whatever job,
lifestyle, or appearance they
may choose.'' She also maintains, "We are concerned
about all people who are
stereotyped; like the physically
disabled and people who are

Visionary futurist Robert Anton
by Susan Crosman
of the TORCH

Two thousand years never
passed by so quickly as when
noted author and futurist,
Robert Anton Wilson, gave
the key-note speech for UniCon I, Nov. 7, in Eugene.
Wilson, who authored the
trilogy /1/uminatus, predicted
the abolition of poverty and
starvation by the year 1995
and a dramatic increase· in
longevity. He said drugs will

On a quiet Saturday afternoon .

..

Thousands join
downtown for
march and rally

More than a thousand people worked their way through
the downtown streets Nov. 7,
carrying signs and shouting
protests.
"We Want Jobs," "Reagan
Takes A Bite Out Of Child
Nutrition," and "How Do
You Spell Relief -- Impeach"
were just a few of the many
placards demonstrators wielded as they marched.
There were chants, too,
reminiscent of the protests of
the 60s and early 70s. "They
cut back, we fight back,'' and
''Stop Reagan, stop Haig,
stop the military plague,'' the
marchers shouted.
Eugene police placed the
number of marchers at 1200;
march organizers said the
number was closer to 2,000.
Members of the march and
rally, which was organized by
the Coalition for Social
Justice, represented a broad
cross section of political
ideologies. It sets a recent
Eugene precedent for labor involvement with "progressive
left'' organizations.
CSJ, formed in August, has
more than 30 sponsoring and
endorsing member groups.
They include representatives
from labor councils and
unions, the Lane Democratic
Party, the Lane Citizen's Party, the Eugene NAACP and
women's and human rights
groups.
Roars of approval mixed
with applause filled the air at
Washington-Jefferson Park,
where the protestor_s gathered
at 12:30 p.m. to hear Oregon

speakers voice opposition to
the Reagan Administration.
Speakers at the rally included Oregon AFL-CIO President Irv Fletcher and Rep.
Margie Hendricksen, D-Eug.
They admonished the Reagan
Administration for economic
policies which harm the poor
and workers.
''Today we turn back the
policies of the federal government,'' Hendricksen said,
''and to do that we need
positive political action.''
Noting the lack uf interest
that '' allowed a man like
Ronald Reagan to be elected
to office,'' the Eugene
Democrat urged eligible voters
to register and to "help turn
things around."
Hendricksen also compared
people severely affected by
economic cutbacks to people
in the 13 American colonies
after the Revolutionary War.
''The people who founded
this country wrote that there
would be no just government
without the consent of the
people," she said. "Does
Ronald Reagan have your consent to war?"
Fletcher was equally
vociferous when he opened his
speech with an invitation to
representatives of the Young
Americans for Freedom. The
group, posted on a hill
overlooking the demonstration, supports Reagan
policies.
''Come join us,'' he said,
"it's not too late. You can repent for your sins ."
He outlined the Reagan Administration's economic plans

and how those plans would affect US citizens.
"The present administration is promising nothing more
than private greed, trickledown policies and political expediency," Fletcher stated,
adding, "We can expect only
shoestring public budgets."
He pledged support from both
state and national AFL-CIO
offices for efforts to restore
monies cut from social programs_.
Economic and social
policies were not the only
issues covered at Saturday's
rally. CSJ organized the
march and rally, but many
other local groups cosponsored it. As a result,
political ideologies frequently
clashed.
, Ron Herndon, Portland
Black United Front president,
cited hundreds of cases of
racial discrimination in
America against blacks and
other minorities.
" ... and they all occurred
with Democrats in office, so
don't let anybody tell you all
will be fixed if you elect
Democrats," Herndon said.
Earlier, members of the
Democratic Party had offered
just such a solution.
Eugene police said the
crowd was well behaved. They
estimated the number of marchers dwindled to a maximum
of 800 while attending the rally.
Musical and theatrical skits
shared the podium with
speakers adding to the crowd's
spirited feelings.

for the TORCH

radio station, headquartered
in LCC's Forum Building, has
set itself a goal of $25,000 in
pledges from listeners by 10
p.m., Monday, Nov. 16. The
money is part of a total yearly
budget of $200,00 which
comes from listener support,
the LCC general fund, and
from federal grants. Two
radiothons each year constitute 25 percent of the
operating budget.
By noon on Wednesday,
Nov. 11, listeners had promised $6,048 -- an increased
figure over last spring's
radiothon when the tally was
$4,638 over the same time
span. But to meet the increased goal of $25,000, KLCC
staff members and volunteers
say this year they must receive
pledges totaling $17 5 per hour.
"Won't you put your
money where your ears are?''
asks the radiothon fundraisers like ·oon Heine. "Call
741-2200 to pledge."

about them. Yes, the Go-Gos
have arrived.
Beauty and the Beat, the
. Go-Gos' first album, was
released last summer and the
response was phenomenal.
The single ''Our Lips Are
Sealed" shows signs of becoming a hit, and the band has
toured from coast to coast
several times in the past year.
Add to this the fact that the
GoGos are the only all-girl
group on the pop charts, and
suddenly they're a sensation.
Beauty and the Beat has a
bright, punchy sound with a
driving beat throughout. The
songwriting chores, shared by
guitarist/keyboardis t
Charlotte Caffey and guitarist
Jane Wiedlin, come from the
Howard Roberts school of
music composition -- "if you
steal from one source, it's
plagiarism, but if you steal
from a bunch of places, it's
research. ''
From the "girl group"
music of the late 50s and early
60s to the British Invasion
sound of the same era, the
GoGos have adapted many
genres of music to their own
efforts.
The album opens with ''Our
Lips Are Sealed," an uptempo rocker with a response 1
to the band's critics: Pay no
mind to what they say/it
doesn't matter anyway/our

lips are sealed. It's followed by
"How Much More," a Bo
Diddley rocker with a classic
"girl group" message: / want
to be that girl tonite.
"Tonite," "Lust to Love"
and "This Town" round out
the first side.
The second side opens with
"We Got The Beat," a rocker
written by Caffey and
delivered in a tough Suzi
Quatro style by lead vocalist
Belinda Carlisle. "Fading
Fast,'' the next cut, is another
"girl group" song, and
"Automatic" is a throwback
to acid rock.
The rest of side two includes
,-'Skidmarks On MY Heart"
and the album finisher,
"Can't Stop The World."
Go Gos
by
Written
newcomer Kathy Valentine,
"Can't Stop The World" has
the strongest lyrics on the entire album: Caught with no
cards up your sleeve/Not
much to choose from/Grew
up all along thinking you
couldn't lose.
There isn't much to please
college music majors, but
Beauty and the Beat is a very
catchy record by a group of
promising musicians who have
been together only a short
time. It would be nice for the
GoGos to make a stop in
Eugene so we could see what
all the L.A. hubbub is about.

Cross country vies for national title
by Terry Rhoads
of the TORCH

It seems past history doesn't
seem to count for much in
women's cross country.
Despite being the defending
champions and having a top
contender for the individual title, the Lane women's cross
country team won't be favored
this weekend at the National
Junior College Athletic
Association's national championship meet in Wichita,
Kansas.
Top ranked Golden Valley
(Minnesota) Community College will carry that burden into
this Saturday's championship
race. The Titans -- winners of
the meet the past two years -are picked to finish second.
The LCC squad, who won
the Region 18 championship
last weekend in Salem on a
fast 5,000 meter course, will
have their work cut out Saturday to be among the top
teams, says their coach Mike
Manley.
"It's going to be tough to
beat Golden Valley," says
Manley. "If one of their runners gets hurt,they can just put
another one right in there.
They're very strong right
down through their seventh
runner.''
"It's going to be tough, but
that's the way we like it," he
added.
Leading the Titan charge
will be undefeated Janet
Beaudry, whose winning

races. Last weekend, the
freshman from Milwaukie,
Oregon, ran a personal best of
17:54.8 over the Salem course.
"She's got a slight cold, but
other than that she's running
very good,'' says Manley.
The individual pre-race
favorite is Golden Valley
sophomore Mickey Doane.
Last year she captured national track titles in the 3,000
and 5,000 and is undefeated
this cross country season.
"She's the one to beat,"
agrees Manley. "She has a
great kick, so I think Janet will
have to go out easy the first
mile then pick it up the second
mile and try to pull away from
her."
"Janet has a good kick, but
Doane's is really tough."
Another Titan who figures
to be in the thick of things is
freshman Laurie Stovall.
After a slow start early in the
season, Stovall has continued
to improve and took runnerup honors at last week's
regionals.
"She didn't run a great race
at regionals," says Manley,

"but I think she's ready to run
a super race this weekend. On
a flat course, Laurie runs best
and I think this course will be
to her liking."
The Wichita course won't
be foreign territory to Manley.
Two years ago his team won
its first national championship
on the same course and he
hasn't forgotten its features.
"It's a fairly quick course,
like the Salem course,'' says
Manley. "Two years • ago,
18:08 won the race and Janet
has beated that and Laurie
can, so I think it's safe to say
they could both be in the top
five."
The Titans team title hopes
have gotten a big boost the
past two weeks thanks to Martha Swatt. A sophomore,
Swatt finished runner-up at
last year's nationals and has
returned strongly after a-long
bout with leg injuries. She ran

factor could be the performance of Lane's four, five and

"That's what you need to

"Depth will win this meet."
Judy Beck is the team 's fourth

Manley says the trio has
been rapidly improving and
believes they could be the key
to stealing the title.

)

LCC 'Battle of the Titans' a success
by Terry Rhoads
of the TORCH

They called it the ''Battle of
the Titans," and that's just
what it was.
Fourteen Lane students did
on Nov. 4 ., what many only
dream and wonder about, but
never dare do: Get into a ring
with boxing gloves and fight.
"It was a lot of fun and I
enjoyed it, but would I do it
again? I don't really think
so," said Daniel Goss, who
lost his middle-weight match.
The event was sponsored by
the Lane baseball and intermural programs and labeled a
success.
''We've gotten a lot of
positive feedback,'' said Lane
Assistant Baseball Coach
Steve Wolf. "We're already
looking forward to a 'Battle of
the Titans' in maybe April."
For the 300 fans who paid
from $2 to $3.50 for a seat, the
event was well worth their
money. Of the seven bouts,
only two bouts completed all •
three of the two minute
rounds. The other five finished early with a TKO or KO.
''The doctor at ringside,''
said Wolf, who was a judge
for the bouts, ''was up in the
ring for every fight."
But if you were a real boxing fan, it wasn't all ugly
fighting. Two promising
athletes impressed the judges,
crowd and their opponents
with natural fighting ability.
In the night's second fight,
Bruce Cutshall, a 164 pound
ex-wrestler from Eugene, met
Larry Black, a 165-pounder
from Hawaii, in a light-middle
weight match.
After a toss-up first round,
Cutshall grabbed control in
the second round with a quick
left-right combination to
Black's nose. The shot left
Black's nose bloodied, and his
confidence shaken. Cutshall
continued his barrage of shots
to Black's face, but Cutshall
couldn't drop him.
In the third and final round,
both fighters scored early with
head shots,. and Black's knees
weakened, but he survived the
round by sneaking in a couple
of face shots on Cutshall to
hold him off.
The judge's decision went to

crowd responded with a mixture of cheers and boos.

ing to blood in the water, the
crowd was hard to satisfy the
rest of the night.
In another crowd pleasing
bout, Eugene's Curt Smith, a
189-pound light-heavy weight,
used a lethal left-right hand
combination to destroy Bill
Birch. Birch met defeat with
only 15 seconds left in the first
round when Smith sent a crunching left hand hook to Birch's jaw. It was the loser's second time on the mat during
the round, only this time he remained floored for over a
minute.
When Birch recovered, he
jumped out of the ring,
located his parents, and
mumbled, "My jaw's broke!
I've got to go to the hospital."
And for the blood lovers,
the last fight of the card, the
heavy-weight bout, was their
treat.
Stewart
Cook,
.a
202-pounder from Lancaster,
England, traded punches with
'Springfield's Kerry Kopperman,
a
right-handed
203-pounder.
,
Their first round produced
three 8-second counts and
plenty of punches. The fight
finally took a turn when Kopperman collected his second
8-second count after nearly
putting away Cook early with
a barrage of hits.
Kopperman met the mat late
in the round when he took a
left-right combination to the
face.
After lasting the round,
Kopperman next met defeat
when Cook landed a strong
righthand punch to his opponent's mouth. The result was
blood, lots of it, when a tooth
split Kopperman's lower lip.
Although the fighters only
collected a t-shirt for their efforts, the general concensus
was that it was worth it. But
only 25 percent of the fighters
said they'd be back to fight
again in Battle of the Titans II.
