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.'' Stories by Heidi Swillinger Photo courtesy of 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."

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- ·· The TORCH- The TORCH is a student -managed newspaper, published on Thursdays, September through June.

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 be·easy for the honest David.

Since none of his old friends were capable of such rash ideas, the old man asked a very young man to take the job. The new job concerned distribution of a lot of money, and the young man was pleased that he had been given such 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 breaks for the rich, the young man was helping him step by step. One day, the young man was speaking to a "magazine reporter,'' commenting on -Letters- --------~-- -Editorial letters 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 awaiting my next science lesson. Cheerfully yours Vicki Beide 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.

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 like her. Fine. Whatever happens beyond the initial need to UNIQUE continued from page l 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 never had a request for 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.

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 Weight machines play an important part in muscle conditioning Regular bicycle workouts reduce heart rate Story by Jeff Keating Photos by Bonnie Nicholas 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." The TORCH November ·19 - ih lilt ±1 2, i981 Page 5 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.''

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." After scbool why not stop by the SUNNY MARKET BASKET (30th & 1-5) for a snack?

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.

The Titan women captured the Region 18 championship last weekend by defeating Ricks College.

In addition to their firstp lace trophy, the team brought back several in- dividuaf honors. Carrie Davidson was named the tournament's most valuable player and Karen Harris and Angel Humphrey were named to the all-tournament team. Davidson and Harris also earned all-region team berths.

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.

Avco Embassy Pictures release, is a collection of special effects, unlikely events and fine performances that never quite gets off the ground. And it had such promise, too. A peculiar mixture of time travel and moral lessonlearning, Time Bandits is the latest creation of Gilliam and Michael Palin, two Monty Python-ers. Famous for their frequently off-the-wall antics and biting wit, Gilliam (who also directed) and Palin are part of a crew that entertained audiences worldwide in BBCTV,s "Monty Python's Flying Circus', and the highly popular films Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Life of Brian. Unfortunately, Time Bandits reaches for ''something .completely different,, and fails. The fault lies nowhere in the plot. Any story dealing with 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- DEPT. of MASS COMMUNICATIONS MW 0830-1000 & I I I!

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.
