People in ·search of family

Editor's Note: Adoption Week is being celebrated
Nov. 22-28 in an interest to create a public
awareness of the continuing need/or placement of
"special needs" children. For further information
contact Children 's Services Division. The following
stories first appeared in the Eugene Register-Guard
last summer. Heidi Swillinger was last year's
TORCH editor and is currently a part-time reporter
for the Guard.

The last time she saw her
baby, Maryl Walling-Millard
was a frightened 17-year-old,
exhausted from her struggles
in an austere maternity ward
in Fresno, Calif. "I saw my
daughter on the delivery table
once," Maryl recalls. "They
laid her on my stomach when
they cut the cord.''

Eugene Register-Guard

A few days later, Maryl
signed papers relinquishing
her child to a state adoption
agency -- an act she calls the
most efficient and painful process she has ever experienced.
Now at 36, when she speaks
of her daughter, her face takes
on an expression of angry
bewilderment.
"I want to know if she's

alive. I want to know her as an
individual,'' Maryl says.
''Everyone can know my
daughter but me.''
Five years ago, unexplained
headaches, ·nausea, depression
and severe emotional problems led her to a
psychotherapist. After . a few
sessions, she and her counselor
concluded that many of her
problems were caused by
unresolved feelings surrroundiq.g the adoption of her
daughter.
"That was the turning
point,'' says Maryl. She began
to search for the child she last
saw 18 years ago. After five
years she has found no
answers, but her determination has not abated.
"I want to see my
daughter," she says. "I have a
basic need to know about her
welfare. That's the basic ripoff of the closed adoption
system -- they assume that not
knowing isn't detrimental to
the health or well-being of the
parents, the children, or
anyone else involved.''
In niost states, adoptees and
their biological parents are
denied information that would
help them locate one another.
Nancie Woolford, a
representative of the Oregon
Adoptive Rights Association
(OARA) in Beaverton, says
thousands of women are
beginning searches similar to
Maryl's. And thousands of

John Rakowitz found
adoptees are starting to rally
against adoption laws that
protect information about
parents and . children who
parted at btrth. Woolford
believes increased publicity is
one reason.
"(Biological) parents aren't
afraid to talk about it
anymore," she says. "It used

his biological mother
to be such a hush-hush thing.''
Woolford, herself an adoptee,
remembers her mother warning her not to tell the
neighbors she was adopted.
Founded in 1979, OARA is
a support group for adoptees,
biological parents and adoptive parents. It assists people
in their searches for children

and natural parents. Woolford
says OARA participates in two
or three reunions a month. She
says some searchers come to
OARA with a name or some
definite information that can
be cross-checked on lists of
biological parents and
adoptees who are searching
for one another. Other searchers simply stumble over the
people they seek.
Maryl's efforts to find her
daughter have been less satisfying. Now a Eugene resident, •
Maryl is finishing work on her
master's thesis for the University of California. As a
psychology major, she spent
three years researching the
subject of adoption, compiling
the information in her thesis,
"Relinquishment: The hidden
side of adoption.''
Ninety-seven percent of the
biological mothers she interviewed want to be found, she
says. Only 3 percent desire no
contact whatsoever with the
children they gave up for
adoption.
Yet insecurity about
whether their biological
mothers desire contact often
keeps adoptees from sear' ching, she says. Similar fears
haunt biological mothers.
''One of the things I'm most
afraid of is that my daughter
will have a preconceived notion of what I am -- a threatenTurn to FAMILY, page 3

'Open adoption' -- a uni_
q ue plan
Jeanne and John Etter of Eugene tried to have
a second child for three years before they considered adoption. After studying the issue, they
decided to pursue an "open adoption" -- an
unusual arrangement in which the biological
mother has regular contact with the family that is
rearing her child.
"It's too easy to take a child who's been 'made
available' and then forget about the past," says
. Jeanne Etter. She says she has always been com• mitted to the idea that adopted children have a
right to ~now their biological parents.
Together with Keri, their 12-year-old

daughter, the Etters put a great deal of time into
planning an adoption that would cause the least
trauma for everyone involved -- the child, the
biological mother and themselves. "I didn't want
anybody's baby handed to me and hear 'This
baby can be yours,' unless I knew that's what the
Qarents wanted," she says. "I wouldn't h·ave
adopted otherwise.''
But nearly three years ago, a California
woman named Mary Norman called and said
she'd heard about the Etters from a mutual
friend. She explained that ·she couldn't handle
the stress of continuing her education while rear-

ing 9-month-old Angela on her own. The woman
said she had separated from Angela's father
before she knew she was pregnant, and no longer
knew how to contact him.
The Etters invited Mary and Angela to visit
over Christmas vacation. "I had an intuitive feeling that it was right to do, ·" Jeanne Etter says.
They spent all of December trying to work out
an adoption contract. "It .was a very hard
month," ·she says. "Mary wasn't sure of what
she wanted."

Questions li.nger in -hepatitis case
Analysis by Larry Swanson
of the TORCH

Two weeks ago the TORCH
analyzed the actions of the
Health Occupations Department when one of its instructors contracted hepatitis.
In that analysis, we asked
three questions:
• Has the college determined whether the instructor contracted the disease from one of
his students?
• What steps have been
taken to guarantee that
students will be adequately inf ormed and properly treated?
• Will students involved be
reimbursed by the college for
incurred medical expenses?
Hank Douda, the school's
director of employee relations,
answered the last question
Nov. 4. He said the school's
insurance would cover any
medical costs incurred by affected students who consulted
medical authorities -- "subject
to a look by the college's insurance carriers.''
Department Head Doug
White finally responded to the
first two questions on Nov. 16.
White said classes were informed that the instructor had
Type B hepatitis and were ad-

vised of the "impact of the
disease.''
He said the primary reason
students were informed of the
instructor's illness was because
the instructor requested that
the department do so.
He also said students were
informed so that if ''they had
any concern, they could take
the necessary steps."
But White hasn't given us
any indication of what
''impact of the disease'' means
or whether students were informed of what "necessary
steps'' to take.
In fact, White gave no indication that the college has

made any effort to determine
if a student is a carrier of the
disease. And further, the college ha3 made no attempt to
determine if it was a student
that infected the instructor to
begin with.
College officials including
President Eldon Schafer,
Associate Dean of Instruction
Jim Piercey and Douda have
requested
that
White
cooperate fully with the
TORCH inquiry. However,
White still considers this situation to be a personnel matter
and regards it "as confidential
in nature.''
As we explained in the arti-

cle two weeks ago, Lane
County Health Division officials say that it is difficult for
dental workers who have the
disease to transmit Type B to a
patient.
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.
It could be a student who is
carrying the disease. If so, this
student might pass it to other
persons in the dental program.
We have no assurances from

the college that this is not the
case.
Perhaps, the staff members
who informed the Health Occupations students gave more
information than White told
us. But we can't be sure this is
the case.
We still do not believe our
questions have been adequately answered.
We are forced to trust that
no one is in danger.
Simple cooperation from
the beginning could have saved a great deal of effort and,
perhaps, protected others
from a health hazard.

Once upon a time, there was
an old man who had many
friends that were old also.
This old fell ow became a
great ruler and controlled all
of the land. And when he
needed help, he called on all of
his old friends to help him
with his new responsibilities.

a great duty. He was happy to
serve his country and the old
man in any way that he could.

some of the new plans he had
been making for the old man.
The "magazine reporter"
made the mistake of really saying what the young man had
told him, and all ... well, all
heck broke loose.
It seems the young man had
just been guessing all along
and that the only people
benefitting from the new plans
were the people who already
had lots and lots of money.
The young man shouted
"libel!" and insisted that his
remarks to the teporter had
been "off the record" (which
is another way of saying that
no one should know.) A friend
of the old man supported the
young man, saying ''who ever
heard of Atlantic Monthly
anyway?''
But the damage had been

done, and the young man
found himself in a precarious
position, his jo~ on the line
and his reputation at stake.
The old man was not pleased,
and wondered whether the
young man should have his
job anymore.
But the old man reversed his
position, so when the young
man groveled at the old man's
wrinkled feet, begging to
resign from his post, the old
man said "no, no, you are free
from guilt, my son. Stay with
the team." And the band
played.
Nevertheless, the young
man became an old man very
fast.
Nobody ever said life would

But one of the positions he

such rash ideas, the old man

Time passed, and the young
man worked his way into the
hallowed halls of the old
man's government. Using
what he liked to call "Zen and
the Art of Economics," the
young man became the pride
and joy of the old man and his
peers.
And as the old man took
more and more money out of
useless programs like welfare,
student aid and social security,
and put it into guns and tax

a million laughs

To The Editor:

Thanks for all the comic relief provided by your letter section the past
few weeks. My personal favorite was
Ron Munion's incomprehensible
diatribe which began by accusing the
Torch of being "an extreme leftist
publication" for printing an article
about the Coalition for Social Justice.
Is there really someone out .there who
believes that?
He further boggles the mind when
he somehow justifies the dwindling aid
to the poor by claiming it will save us
from communism when anyone who
can read knows the countries who
claim to be communist have the
greatest success where large portions
of the population go hungry and
where there is a huge gap between rich
and poor.
01' Ron then lets us know that he's
just angry that more money hasn't
been spent building up the military.
Oh well, anyone who backs his opinion by using the creator and Winston
Churchill in one small paragraph
deserves some credit.
However, some votes for ribtickling should go to the letter from

S. L. Vanleuven who is concerned
about the low birthrate among those
"whose ancestors settled this country," while those darn foreign immigrants just have more and more
babies.

S.L.'s reasoning is that those who
are descended from the settlers are
more intelligent and healthier and etc.
(He didn't say what etc. included.)
Could he possibly have been speaking
of racial supremacy? That's been done
before and he should quit plagarizing
his ideas from transcripts of the
Nuremberg trials.
Or Vanleuven could be a native
American, the only people in this
country who aren't immigrants. If so,
I apologize for laughing.
I thought all the fun was over •- but
no.
The following edition carried a letter from Michael Cross who must be
commissioned by the anti-choice people to write letters in the EugeneSpringfield area, as this is probably
the third or fourth I've read from him.
It's refreshing to see he has changed
his argument. His previous reasoning
was based on the fact that since he was
adopted, women should not be allowed the choice of abortion. He wisely
dropped this line and is now taking us
into the mystery of genes. I suggest

In the meantime, I'm eagerly

Immigrant tale is
parallel for LCC
food price rise
To The Editor:

There was a young immigrant from
Italy who started a restaurant when he
arrived here. It was on the lower east
side of New York. And here the young
man married and started his family in
the late twenties.
After the war, his eldest son went to
college to get his degree in "Food Service Management," and when he went
home to help his aging dad run the
restaurant, he was shocked to see the
generous portions the father was giving and the quality of the food caused
the son to throw up his hands in
wonderment. The son went to the dad
and said, "You must cut portions and
raise prices."

ing. Eisenhower is a Republican and
they always bring on hard times.
The father gave in to the college boy
and cut portions and raised prices, and
sure enough, the son was right, for
tough times came the next month, and
soon times were so tough, they finally
closed the restaurant.
This is a long story, but the similarity to our coffee shop seems too close
to ignore. I ate there for the great
soup, and I can attest to the decline in
quality and the price did not decline,
and I had to quit the entire coffee shop
and I never go there now.

grammatical errors. If portions of the letter
are undear, we will attempt to telephone the
author. If the author can't be miched, we
will hold the letter until contact has been .
made or run the letter as is. The TORCH
reserves the right to restrict letters to the 250

even trying to establish communication with me,'' says
Maryl.
The search for her daughter
has kindled Maryl's anger at
legal and social systems that
she says took her baby from
her when she was vulnerable
and that now refuse to provide
any information about the
child.
At 17, she was unmarried
and pregnant. Abortion was illegal. Her mother warned
Maryl that if she chose to keep
her baby, she was on her own;
Maryl didn't believe she could
raise the baby alone. She felt
support for no decision but
adoption.
''I feel angry and sad that
my weakness was exploited by
people who weren't in a weak
position," she says.
Although Maryl lives in
hope of a reunion with her
daughter she has no expectations about the outcome of
such a meeting.
'' I want my daughter to
make her choice to meet me,''
she says. ''If she does make it,
she may not like me. I may not

Realizing that lack of financial support is often a reason
that mothers give up children
for adoption, the Etters offered to support Mary if she
wanted to rear Angela alone.
Etter recalls that Norman
struggled before she made her
decision to let the Eugene couple rear her baby. "She had
the same problems as anyone
who gives up a child for adoption," she says. "No one
should characterize it as a happy situation."
But with a lawyer's
assistance, Mary Norman and
the Etters drew up an adoption
contract that contained a
clause granting Mary the right
of reasonable visitation -' 'just like in a divorce settlement,'' says Etter.
She says there's no legal way
the biological mother could
take Angela back. ''Once
there's a legal adoption,
there's no way a biological
parent could do that,'' she
says.
Barbara Spencer, adoption
services
manager
for
Children's Services Division in
Salem, says her agency has

see each other is a product of
our values.''
But unless the laws change,
the probability that Maryl will
ever meet her daughter is slim.
In most states, the law prohibits biological parents access
to information about their
adopted offspring.
The only information Maryl
can confirm about her child is
the date and time of birth. The
name of the adoptive parents
and information about her
daughter's welfare and
whereabouts are secrets closely
guarded by the adoption agency.
And, under state law, no
identifying information about
Maryl is available to her
daughter. If she is looking for
Maryl, she is permitted access
only to her biological mother's
medical history and sketchy
biographical data, such as
height, weight and ancestry.
Maryl's only recourse is to
have her name placed on
registries of agencies similar to
OARA, and hope that her
daughter will do the same.
"Nobody questions that a
parent can love more than one
child,'' Maryl says with bitterness, ''but people always
question that a child can love
more than one set of parents."

Richard is a Eugene adoptive father of a 3-year-old boy.
He is tense. He sits with his
legs crossed, arms folded over
his chest. He does not want his
real name used. The Oregon
agency that handled the adoption requires that an adoptive
parent release no information
about him or herself or the
child that could be considered
. "identifying" to the biological
parent.
Richard believes secrecy is
necessary. "It's primarily to
protect the child,'' he reasons.
He fears that if his son's
biological mother knew where
to find him, she might attempt
to take him back. "If the
(biological) parents don't like
you, they could drag you into
court," he says. "There'd be a
lot of civil fighting, I
guarantee it."
He contends it should be
enough for biological parents
to know their children are being cared for by loving adoptive parents: "Parents who
give up a child for adoption
have done just that: They've
given them up."

information about his
biological parents should be
available to him.

• • •
"I had a wonderful life,"
says Russell Kaiser, 25, who
was adopted. "I grew up with
good people."
Yet a fight with his adoptive
parents when Russell was 15
kicked off a desire to know his
biological mother. "For a few
moments," he recalls, "I
thought irrationally that
maybe there was something
better."
It was a short-lived question
that faded with his anger, but
curiosity about his biolgocal
mother lingered. Four years
ago, Russell began a search
that has run him up against
one roadblock after another.
An Oregon agency handled
his adoption, and the only information he can get about his
mother
is
considered
"non-identifying." He knows
only that she put him up for
adoption in 1955, that she was
29 years old at the time and
that she was unmarried. But
he believes he understands her
reasons for giving him up.
"I've tried to put myself in
the position of a 29-year-old
woman who is pregnant and
without a husband," he says.
"What are your choices in
1955?"
"But I just sit back and
wonder sometimes what it
would be like if she had gotten
married or if she'd raised me
on her own.''
Although Russell initiated
his search to settle questions
about his mother's identity, he
is also seeking answers concerning his own. "I wonder why
I'm overweight," he muses.
"Is it genetic? How much of
what I am is environmental
and how much is hereditary?"
John Rakowitz, also an
adoptee, understands.
"All those identity questions that everybody asks of

themselves are magnified a
hundred times over if you're
adopted," he says. "It haunts
you, in a way. It's an invisible
ghost that's always there."
John, a University of
Oregon student and · former
LCC student, was 26 when he
set out to find his mother. ''To
me, there was the fantasy that
there was another life, another
culture," he explains. "I
became obsessed with it.''
He was lucky. His search
was not only successful, it
took only a year ..
Because he was born and
adopted in Germany, and
because his mother later immigrated to the U.S., he was
able to locate her with the help
of a sympathetic congressional
aide.
Even then, however, he was
refused the in formation
necessary to carry on the
search himself. Instead, the
aide served as a liaison between John and his mother,
establishing that both were
eager to see one another.
"It was wonderful when he
found me," says Mia Minzell,
John's biological mother. "It
was a time of great happiness.''
In a heavy German accent,
Mia, who lives in New York,
explains that having contact
with John lifted a tremendous
burden of guilt from her
shoulders. "It's a situation
you can never forget," she
says. "I carried a child. I bore
him. He's yours no matter
what."
And finding his mother has
enabled John to lay many
ghosts to rest.
"I don't wonder anything
about myself," he says. "I
know. ·That's what finding my
mother has done for me. It's
released me and allowed me to
go on with my own life.
"It was the ultimate reward
when I walked into her apartment and looked just like her.
'' I finally felt like I was
home."

Richard recalls the careful
questions the adoption agency
asked him and his wife when
they adopted their son.
"There's quite a screening
process," he says. "They even
ask questions to trip you up.
They want every (prospective)
parent who walks through that
door to be a good parent."
Although
Richard
understands and sympathizes
with a biological mother's
curiosity about her child, he
believes that guilt may be the
driving force in her search.
"Anybody that gives up a
child should feel guilty about
it," he says. "They ought to
feel guilty that they screwed
up."
Although he agrees with the
adoption agency's concepts of
secrecy, he believes that, after
biological and adoptive - his son reaches a certain age,
parents to know one another.
''This is something adoptive
parents really don't want,"
she says. ''They want the child
to be a part of their family."
.However, Spencer says the
agency would consider introducing natural and adoptive parents if both parties requested.
Etter admits that the first
months alone with Angela
were traumatic. "For the first
six months, it was hard for me
to think of sharing her with
Mary," she says.
But as visits from the
mother went smoothly, Etter
began to see the value of
shared parenting. "It's been
very meaningful," she says.
"It's been very important to
Angela.''
She says she believes the
parenting benefits of open
adoption are enormous.
"I don't have to be
everything (to Angela),'' she
says. "Parts of her can be
enhanced and nurtured by
other people. What I have to
give her is more valuable when

Susan Cooley
turns caring into
physical therapy
'~This is a very supportive atmosphere.
Susan has got it all together and really
knows what she's doing."

- Bill Shannon

The noise is constant but not unpleasant, the sound of friendly human voices
mingling with the metallic drone of different types of exercise machinery•
The driving energy behind this maze of human bodies and corrective equipment in the physical therapy room is Susan Cooley, LCC's Corrective Physical
Education instructor.
She is a different kind of teacher, one who coaches more than instructs, asks
rather than requires. Her students are people trying to recover from physical injuries and congenital physical problems.
Her caring attitude coupled with an instinctive understanding of each person's
goals allows her to help them help themselves.
"These people have a built-in motivation," says Susan. "They want to get better. That makes things easier.''
The corrective therapy program has grown by leaps and bounds in the last ten
years. In 1971, the classes had 44 students. When Susan took over, there were 83
students enrolled. The present enrollment in the five classes is just over 150, and
with the addition of two more classes next quarter, the number will easily pass
200.
Susan's five classes of corrective therapy are made up of two types of students.
The first type includes students with temporary injuries that impede their normal physical activities. Working to mend either broken bones, back problems, or
a variety of other ailments, these students are given programs to strengthen the
affected parts of their bodies.
The second type includes students with permanent injuries. Paraplegics,
quadraplegics, or paralyzed students are given individual programs to strengthen
what muscles they can use.
And the physical therapy classes aid students with other problems.
"We have blind people, people with heart disease, asthmatics, finger and hand
injuries ... there's a specific exercise program for each one of them so that they
don't hurt themselves," says Susan.
With such a cross-section of problems to contend with, Susan's job would seem
to be a grueling, day-to-day effort to make people healthy. Yet, "grueling" is a
description light years away.
"I really like therapy," she says, "it's an easy thing to teach. That's why it's so
enjoyable.''
• Susan's positive outlook is reflected in the atmosphere of her classroom.
Laughs, rather than complaints, are the most noticeable feature of her class. The

second most noticeable thing is the hard work taking place. Constantly.
''These people enjoy what they're doing,'' Susan says. ''They work hard at it.''
Susan began teaching at LCC 11 years ago. Prior to coming to LCC, she obtained a BA and an MA from the University of Oregon in the health field.
But a fellowship offer from the U of O led to a return to P .E., and she obtained
a Ph.D. in corrective therapy and anatomy and growth development.
After being an LCC P.E. instructor and coach of the women's track team for
five years, she filled the vacancy left by Fred Sackett, the former head of physical
therapy. Suddenly, she found herself right where she wanted to be.
"I can't imagine liking a job any better," she says. Many of her students think
that aspect of Susan's character is what makes the physical therapy program
work.
"Susan is the force," explains Campus Ministries director Jim Dieringer, a
physical therapy regular. "She takes such·a person~! interest in you, and explains
everything and what you have to do to make it better.''
Jim is afflicted with knee problems. He underwent a knee operation, but broke
his knee open again, leaving him flat on his back for a great length of time.
Through Susan's class, he says, "my knee is as good as it's ever going to be.
And part of the reason is the comfortable atmosphere. All of the people here are
here to get something fixed. We all share something.''
Bill Shannon is paralyzed. He takes Susan's class to build the strength in his
arms and legs. He too is a firm supporter of the class objectives.
''This is a very supportive atmosphere. Susan has got it all together and really
knows what she's doing." He also adds that he is "at least five times" as strong
as he was before he came into the class last year.
With a forceful teacher, positive students and good atmosphere, LCC's
physical therapy program seems to be all pluses and no minuses. But that's
misleading.
''The one thing that we really need is a therapeutic swimming pool,'' Susan
says. ''There was one in the original plans for the school, but they ran out of
money before it got built. Now we don't have enough funds."
She goes on to say that such a pool would be a big help to paralyzed students,
students with rheumatoid arthritis and asthmatics, all of whom have difficulty
with other forms of treatment.
Susan also feels that the present therapy facilities should be enlarged and better
equipped. Some machines are in such demand duplicates are needed.
Even in the face of its needs, students believe corrective P .E. is one of the most
positive and pleasant places on campus to be a part of. Perhaps Bill Shannon
sums it up the best.
"This is a good class to take. Period."
Susan Cooley concurs with a smile. "It's not often that you love your job and
where you live and the people you work with. Most people can't say that. Maybe
I'm one of the lucky ones. I can."

Student fees for campus ministry?
by Dale Sinner
for the TORCH

ASLCC's decision to allow
LCC's Legal Aid Service to
help incorporate Campus
Ministries may have set a
precedent that could lead to
complex legal implications.
Since mandato'ry student
fees are used to fund the
ASLCC and the legal aid service, the funds could be defined as "public" and therefore
could not be used to support
religious organizations.
Jay Jones, student activities
director, also told the ASLCC
Senate of a pending court case
on the East Coast which is
deciding whether mandatory

student fees can be used in
religious
of
support
organizaitons on college cam_
puses.
Father Jim Dieringer,
chaplain and director of Campus Ministries (an on-campus
counseling service) requested
_assistance to incorporate from
ASLCC Legal Aid Service.
According to Dieringer,
"status as a non-profit corporation would allow supporters to make donations that
would be tax exempt.'' Dieringer says Campus Ministries
is mostly supported by Dieringer himself and the Catholic
Church. Additional support
comes from other individuals
and churches.

ASLCC Legal Aid Service
approached the ASLCC
Senate for a recommendation.
The Senate voted approval for
the assistance by a narrow
margin of 6-5 at the Nov. 3
meeting when Ruben Robles,
ASLCC president, cast the
breaking vote. According to
the minutes of the Oct. 20, 27
and Nov. 3 meetings., the
Senate expressed concern that
helping Campus Ministries
establish non-profit status
might set a precedent.
ASLCC Senator Melissa
Dahl qpposed approval, saying that she ''wondered
whether it (the issue) involved
the separation of church and
state. It seemed like a technical

problem. I felt we (the Senate)
needed to look at the issue a
little more before voting.''
Dahl also stated that she
''wondered whether it was
ethical to use student money
for something like that."
ASLCC Senator Bob Dove
said he was "unsure of the
legal ground"of the Senate
vote, and expressed concern
over setting a precedent:
''When you set a precedent by
helping one group, you open
the door, and if you turn down
another group in similar circumstances, they might claim
discrimination.''
Father Dtermger said that
the Campus Ministries' services aren't specifically

religious since many types of
counseling are available to
students and staff, from
religious to personal.
Dieringer explained that
having been on campus for
over a decade, Campus
Ministries has a unique referral capability and it exists to
provide "any type of help
possible to students and staff,
regardless of religious beliefs
or affiliations.''
When asked about the
benefits of incorporating,
Dieringer said, in addition to
giving tax breaks to donors,
incorporating will give Campus Ministries a sense of reality and stability, "so that it will
carry on after I leave.''

New state employment office established on cClmpus
by Diana Larsen

for the TORCH

Job searching? Before hitting the pavement on your
own, try one of LCC's new
campus-based State Employment Services.
Students who formerly pursued jobs through the
Counseling Center will now be
referred to Oregon State
Employment Division Service
representatives Linda Kluver,
Paul Gushwa or John
McGrath.
Gushwa and McGrath work
for the state as part-time
employees with offices on
campus to assist LCC's nearly
800 veterans. Kluver, a full-

time EDS employee, is stationed at LCC to help any of the
approximately 8,000 credit
students now attending the
college.
The new employment service office was established in
September in a joint decision
by the State Employment Division, Student Services and
LCC Dean of Students Jack
Carter. It is a college outreach
program similar to that
available to students at the
University of Oregon,
although the U of O has no
special representaive for
veterans' needs.
Kluver says about 200
students already use the service. She encourages those in

need of work to drop by her
office in the Center Building
and fill out a short form which
will make their names avilable
to potential employers.
''Students have to come in
before we can help them,"
Kluver says, adding that
students are using the service
"only one-sixth of what I
would like to see it used daily."
Simply by walking through
the door, a job-seeker can consult a bulletin board in the office that lists current job
possibilities. Some jobs may
be posted on a ''veterans

preference" basis for the first
24 hours.
Kluver expects to spend a
substantial amount of time in
the community recruiting
employers and uncovering job
possibilities. She believes ''a
unique group of people" attend LCC. She plans to focus
on industries that might
employ students trained in a
wide range of vocations.
She will also be searching
for a variety of part-time jobs
for students who arc affected
by this year's financial aid cutbacks. Employers will be encouraged to offer flexible

hours to these students.
The new service has absorbed the duties of the offices of
Job Placement and Student
Employment Services which
no longer exist separately.
Those formerly serving in
these offices have been
reassigned to other college
positions including jobs at the
Career Information Center
and Job Skills Lab.
The State Employment Service is housed in the Center
Building adjacent to the
Financial Aid Desk on thesecond level.

Ministries makes move
by Sharon Smith

for the TORCH

For the past 10 years, Father
James Dieringer, a Catholic
priest, has reserved the first
table next to the elevator in the
main dining area of the LCC
cafeteria. The purpose was to
offer counseling services to the
students, staff and faculty of
LCC. However, he can't be
found there this year.
Dieringer hasn't left the
campus, he's moved to an office on the first floor of the
Center Building.
In the past, a lack of office
space and the "division of
church and state'' requirements of public institutions prevented the priest and
other religious representatives
from having a campus office:
No state or federal funds can
be used to sponsor or subsidize
religious activity.
But according to Dieringer,
cooperative efforts on the
parts of school officials and
the ministers themselves have
resulted in an arrangement for
a campus ministry, complete
with an office.
So that no state funds are
connected with the ministry,
Dieringer rents room 125 of
the Center Building from the
college for $36 a month, as
determined hy the Campus

Facilities Department. The
ministry also pays for its own
phone, supplies and rent on
classrooms when they are
needed for group discussions
and activities.
The former "office" in the
cafeteria lacked privacy for
confidential discussions. This
governed the need for
something better. However,
Dieringer is quick to point out
the advantage they had before:
"Visibility to the college community."
In this setting, he explained
he and other ministers were
able to "demonstrate that we
are not a threat. We aren't
here to stand on soap boxes or
make converts, but rather to
help people when and
wherever we can."
According to Dieringer, the
campus ministry is designed as
a multifaith effort, with
representatives from the
Catholic, Lutheran, Jewish,
Episcopal and Methodist
religions, to name just a few.
And Dieringer sees himself
offering more than just
Catholic counseling: "I see
myself as a representative to
all churches. I am counseled in
Buddhism, Hinduism, as well
as with the views of the
athiest
and
agnostic
students."

Quick, fluid and frequently comical, members of the Lane
Dance Theatre captivated a crowd of 100 the afternoon of Nov.
18 during a dance lecture-demonstration.
Dance Coordinator Mary Seereiter narrated the half-hour
showcase of dance pieces performed in LCC's auxilliary gym. It
was the first of three performances planned for this term.
Covering a varied range of movement, the nine member troupe
set a theme for the program with a visual work that asked the
que.stion, "What is dance?"
Seereiter explained that choreography is a set pattern of
. movements followed by all of the dancers in a peice. She noted
- that "Kitchen Space," the first segment of the program, is an example of how "you can take an everyday occurence and turn it into dance" through choreography.
The first program was followed by an improvisational work,
"Listening," which explained the importance of timing and independent pattern for the dancer. Each member of LDT performed alone and in tandem with another improvisational dancer.
Three finished works rounded out the demonstration. To the
strains of the Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden," the dance company moved through a Mary Seereiter creation. They followed it
with another Seereiter work.
Delia Siefert choreographed the third piece, performed to the
driving sound of "Celebrate." As the music faded out and the
dancers bowed, the crowd broke into energetic applause.
"We 're trying to take ballet beyond ballet, " explained Seereiter
after the program. "A lot of the movements and technique are
based on ballet, but most of it is our own."
She added that members of LDT can choreograph their own
pieces: "They have the option (to choreograph)," she said, "but it
isn't something we push. "
The present members of LDT have been tqgether since the
beginning of the school year, which allowed them eight weeks to
prepare for their performance.
Lane Dance Theatre was established by Seereiter in Oct. 1980
and is based at LCC. The company's objective is to provide a
dance outlet for the Eugene area and the college.
They will appear again at Churchill High School on Nov. 19
and at Roosevelt Junior High on Dec. 2.

Basketbal I opens season
The ball rolls out of the closet for the Lane men's basketball
team this Saturday night when they open their 1981-82 campaign
against a Titan alumni team at 8 p.m.
Only two lettermen return from last year's 15-16 team that
collected second place in their conference and fourth place at the
Region 18 tournament.
For coach Dale Bates, the players' faces have changed, but the
style they play won't.
Going with a two guard front and a high and low post, the
Titans will be relying on their speed and quickness to control the
action this season.
If there is a problem to be concerned with, it is Lane's lack of
. height.
"We're going to play big," says Bates. "We bounce good,
meaning our coil ability to jump is very good, right down our
lineup."
Though Bates has not yet announced the line-up for this
year's squad, he has named a top seven that will see a lot of action this weekend and throughout the season.
Mike Cooper appears to have nailed down one of the starting
guard positions while Jeff Peterson, a sub on last year's squad,
will probably start at forward. Gilbert Crummie and James
Lassen are battling for the post position and the final guard spot
is a toss-up between Mark Jones, Bill Dufek and Stanley
Walker.
In Saturday's game some very talented players from past
Titan teams will again don uniforms. Included among the
group, says Bates, could be Doug Ainge, Keith Baltnzer, Greg
Anderson, and Dennis Inman, all of whom played on conference winning squads.
Lane will open the season when they meet Western Oregon
State College Monday night at 8 p.m.

the misadventures of six
dwarves and a confused little
boy as they attempt to rob
famous world leaders
throughout time has high
entertainment potential.
The film, s performances
also can,t be faulted. Connery, Cleese and the rest of the

cast are wonderful in their
roles.
The fault lies in a lack of
story and character development combined with a poor
script.
Gilliam and Palin,s
screenplay fails to give any of
the main characters sufficient
background or motivation for
any of their actions.
The six dwarves (David
Rappaport, Kenny Baker,
Jack Purvis, Mike Edmonds,
Malcolm Dixon, Tiny Ross)
are runaways in possession of
a time-map stolen from the
Supreme Being (Ralph
Richardson).
Racing
haphazardly through holes in
the fabric of time, they attempt to steal riches from
famous world . figures including King Agamemnon
(Connery) and Napoleon (Ian
Holm).
Havoc is wreaked on their
plans when they accidentally
stumble through the bedroom
of adventure-starved young

Kevin (Craig Warnock), who

is forced to accompany them.
What results is an occassionally funny and often confusing collection of timejumping episodes that initiate
more questions than they
answer. The audience is left in
the wake of the dwarves' pass-

ing, as they jump from one
time portal to the next, never
staying in one place long
enough to fully reach their objective.
Few of the main characters
are well-rounded . . Only
Agamemnon, Napoleon and
Robin Hood (Cleese) are complete -- they are familiar
historical figures. The
dwarves, Kevin and the rest of
the characters portrayed have
no reasons for any of their actions. The different time
segments pass all too quickly,
and the struggle between good
and Evil (David Warner) is
meaningless.
The script also has its flaws.
Usually so meticulous about
every word, Palin and Gilliam
are forced to fall back on
mumblings and endiess
responses of "shut up" from
one dwarf to another to raise
even a snicker from the audience. Although the film has
some funny moments, albeit
few and far between, it is
primarily comprised of poor
dialogue that depends on
magnificent camera work and
special effects to be overlooked.
Time Bandits has to be considered a failure on a large
scale. With millions spent on
special effects~ sets and promotion, it promised tnuch and
delivered little. If anything, it
should have been two films, a
complete effort based on a
sound premise. As it is, a great
storyline is ruined by the desire
to cram so much into so little
time.
If only Terry Gilliam and
Michael Palin could have
stolen two more hours ...

A radiothon deadline extension proved successful for
KLCC-FM as the station surpassed its moneyraising goal
of $25,000 Tuesday night.
A sli_ght lull in pledges and a
four-hour power outage
caused by storm winds of up
to 58 mph hindered transmission last Friday. KLCC was
forced to extend its original
Nov.16 pledge deadline until
the goal was reached.
1,266 pledges were made to
the station during the
radiothon, averaging $19.86
per pledge. That average is $3
higher than the average pledge
during the moneyraising drive
last April.
Approximately
60
volunteers staffed the
telephones during the
radiothon. The money raised .
will pay for new KLCC
transmission translators
recently erected in Oakridge
and Cottage Grove .
