Lane Community College Vol. 22, No. 11 January 14, 1982 - la &# 4000 E. 30th Ave. Eugene, OR 97405 JQ, JIil!· Schafer opposes state cuts by Larry Swanson of the TORCH Gov. Vic Atiyeh wants deeper cuts in community college funding to help offset an anticipated $237 million state deficit. But LCC President Eldon LCC Board u_rges Legislature to prevent more-community college revenue loss Schafer says community colleges are vital to economic diversification efforts. He urges the governor and legislators to find additional revenue sources rather than cut state support to higher education. The LCC Board of Education unanimously endorsed Schafer's position at its Jan. 13 meeting. The board sent a resolution urging the Legislature to seek ways ''to prevent the additional loss of revenue for community colleges." Photo by Phil Armstrong Oregon Gov. Vic Atiyeh Atiyeh announced a special legislative session beginning Jan. 18 to raise revenue and to cut spending to balance the remainder of the 1981-83 biennial budget. Although the state is not operating at a deficit yet, the Oregon constitution prohibits the state from operating in the red . Despite the possibility of a 10 percent cut in the school's state funding, Schafer says he's still optimistic that LCC will ''slide through'' the state's budget problems. He says he believes LCC will be able to provide the same range of programs it now offers. Schafer has said that cuts at ·or above 10 percent would probably mean the elimination of some school programs -programs he says developing local businesses could use. However, legislative leaders have asked budget-preparing committees to draft plans for only a 5 percent cut. And citizens -- at "Town Hall'' meetings and through letters to the governor and legislators -- have said they favor increased taxes instead of additional cuts into state services such as higher education. Schafer says his optimism is also supported by key salary factors . Faculty members, for LCC Board increases tuition in attempt to off set budget cuts by Larry Swanson of the TORCH The LCC Board of Education last night voted to increase spring term tuition for full-time LCC students to $187, for Community Education students to $25 per class and for High School Completion (HSC) students to $26 per class. The board increased tuition for credit classes $1 per credit hour and tuition for Community Education and HSC courses by $3 per class. The increases will generate an estimated $90,000 next spring. "It's not going to be a popular statement,'' said LCC President Eldon Schafer. But he said tuition increases a.re an unavoidable response to cuts planned for the special legislative session. A proposed seven dollar hike in HSC tuition met opposition from instructors in the audience. HSC Instructor Vicki Reed said such an increase would put "an inordinate burden on a group that can least afford it." She added that HSC students already pay for twice as many classes per term as students enrolled in normal credit classes. This is because HSC students take six compact terms during the school year. The board quickly amended the recommendation to increase HSC classes by only three dollars. In other action, the board postponed development of a planned seven-classroom building until the Legislature completes its special budgetbalancing session. About $500,000 was earmarked for the proposed building. example, have said they would be willing to teach heavier loads for the same salary. "That will make it (dealing with budget cuts) easier," he says. While some faculty members offer cooperation, John Kocher, president of the faculty union, is quick to say the union favors moves that "cut programs, not people." The faculty union's contract ties salary increases to the Portland consumer price index -- annual pay raises are computed by subtracting 1 percentage point from the Portland CPI. And Schafer says funds for a 10 percent faculty pay hike were set aside this year. However, forecasts show only a 6 or 7 percent jump in Portland's January CPI. This would mean only a 5 or 6 percent jump in faculty salaries. Bill Berry, dea n of administrative services, says a raise of only 5 percent could save the school $900,000. School administrators are also considering changes in the school's summer session to save money. Although reports on the effects of such a move aren't yet in, Schafer says students should expect a ''smaller, tighter summer session." Photo by Phil Armstrong LCC Pres. Eldon Schafer Snovv shortens term LCC students will cram more study into less time this term as the result of last week's winter storm. Winter term is already the shortest term of the school year. Because of time lost from last week's cancelled classes, students and teachers will have six fewer days than fall term to do the same amount of work. LCC President Eldon Schafer says the term won't be extended, though, unless more storms cause more class cancellations. Unlike public schools, he says, LCC is not obligated to be open for a certain number of days each term. Schafer says the decision to resume classes Wednesday presented some problems. Many students and teachers living at higher elevations were ice-bound that morning. He says department heads reported good turnouts Wednesday. But in at least one department attendance was low. Judy Dresser, head of both the health and physical education departments, says only one-third to one-half of registered students came to classes. Page 2 January 14, 1982 - J iJ £8, IJB:?

In the 16 months prior to enactment of martial law last Dec. 13, Solidarity grew to an unprecedented 10 million members out of a total Polish population of about 36 million . The independent union embraces workers, professionals and students. Solidarity has been decapitated. Reports indicate Gen. Wolciech Jaruzelski, who declared martial law, will not allow the union to reemerge as a political entity. Some remnants of reform may be reincorporated.

Despite Reagan's insistance, it is not a given that the Soviets masterminded the martial law in Poland. And we may be victims of a simplistic foreign policy which divides the world into the US led Western good guys and the Soviet '' Red Menace." To be sure, the Soviet politburo is glad that its Polish counterpart finally took stern measures against Solidarity. To accept a Solidarity victory would eventually mean for Russia a reorganization of its Eastern European face. • The USSR' s supply lines to Eastern Germany, Czechoslovakia and Hungary were threatened by Solidarity's assension. Loss of Poland _would have phased the Soviet ·strategic borders back to its WW I and WW II fronts. But it should be clear to all diplomatic parties that the USSR is not in a position to militarily stomp into Poland as it did in Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovikia in 1968. It's experiencing internal dissension, a slowed net growth in its economy and a weakening of its hold on its Eastern satellites. And it has been waging a two-year-old war with Afghanistan rebel forces. If the USSR marched into Poland, it would inherit Poland's national debt and economic strife. It would also rupture recent efforts to create an international reputation as a peacemaker. It is to the State Department's credit that diplomats have refrained from following hardliners such as Henry Kiss- - ,,,,... / /' / = - _- - 1/ ~ f -~ { t- s/-tl?,tf.-~ ' "~WJ 10 ~~aR '{OU, rr'~ tl\\N~ lN \Me BU1 W~ C1~T ~~\a &11 N01\Ce.

These actions barring direct Soviet intervention in Polish affairs would incense our Western allies. In fact, Western powers are refusing to join the US in its current level of economic sanctions against the Soviets. Why? Are these countries privy to information not available to US intelligence, or are US officials obscuring the truth? Some have justified the US' s lone attack on the Soviet Union as a sign of leadership to be emulated by our allies. But perhaps the lack of support from our allies actually points toward US diplomatic immaturity. Western powers were not consulted. Yet they share geographic proximity and are to some extent more closely associated politically with the USSR. An interesting twist which spells differences between US and ally perspectives is the Polish government's huge $26 billion debt to Western agencies. Collapse of even this more repressive Polish government would threaten default of the loan and a tremendous loss to Western banks. The $26 billion debt breaks down as follows: • $10 billion owed to Western government agencies. (Only $1.8 billion is held by the US government.) • $16 billion is held by a 460-member Western bank consortium. (Only $1.8 billion is held by 60 US banks.) West German banks hold the principal amount of the debt and West Germany is vocal in its opposition to the US sanctions. The US with its total $3.6 billion commitment simply has less to risk financially. Little is known about the actual events taking place in Poland. Because of the lack of information and the complexities involved, the Reagan administration played an excessive and untimely hand. And this hand has been played to capitalize on US efforts to paint the Soviets as terrorists throughout the world. Events in Poland are tragic. The "Soviet Menace" aside, to avoid an American implication in the Polish tragedy, we need to address US diplomatic manipulation of a grave lifeana-death struggle for the Polish people. memorandum power for "affirm wi_thout opinion."

On the building's top floor, in the student lounge, a bright new mural is surprising students and passersby. Bold and provocative, the mural is three-dimensional rather than flat. Sixty-nine panels canvas-covered assembled in sawtooth fashion present three images of LCC: a realistic landscape, an abstract landscape and campus architectural forms. Thirty-three distinct colors and a variety of natural and geometric shapes add visual richness. In no two places does the mural look the same. In one place it is simple; in another, complex. As the spectator moves across the room, the images seem to melt and flow into one another. They leave the viewer with a haunting impression of LCC. The mural is one of student government's efforts to improve campus lounges. Last spring, the ASLCC cultural Photo by Michael Bailey 3-D mural is a new addition to the student lounge. program held a competition to produce a mural for the fourth floor lounge. According to LCC art instructor David Joyce, who helped select the winning mural, the program wanted to "give the place a little juice." With a $1500 commission and $500 for materials to be awarded the winner, 140 artists from four Northwestern states submitted designs. But it was the work of Eugene artist Carolyn Quinn that the judges liked best. "She had a good idea and by far the most professional presentation," Joyce suddenly ''this plane came down out of the clouds.

LTD fastpass causes crowding by Michael Bailey of the TORCH And it seemed to be such a bargain, too. The Lane Transit District wasn't equipped to handle the "phenomenal success" of the quarterly fastpass for LCC students, said LTD Service Analyst Stefano Viggiano. So 139 would-be passengers could only watch Monday as overcrowded LCC/Harris buses passed them by. LTD added a follow-up bus Monday to bring service on the route back to normal. ASLCC representatives have estimated that approximately 800 students will purchase the $32 fastpass before the offer ends Jan. 15. That's twice the number of LTD's original prediction. Transit district officials think the overcrowding will be corrected when the new bus schedules take effect Sunday, Jan. 17. Two changes will directly affect LCC students: • Departure times for the No. 21 LCC/Harris and No. 22 LCC Express buses will be switched. The Express will leave the Eugene Mall on a ''major pulse'' to carry the transfers from other routes. The Harris bus will leave on a "minor pulse" and primarily serve the passengers along its route. It will arrive at LCC five minutes before most classes begin. ("Major pulses" occur at :20 and :50 minutes after the hour, when the majority of the buses pull out of the Mall. "Minor pulses" have fewer buses and leave at :05 and :35.) • The 30th Avenue shuttle will have longer hours each day. Its first run will leave 30th and Hilyard at 7: 17 a.m. and its last run will leave LCC at 5:07 p.m. The shuttle runs at half-hour intervals.

LCC pays a yearly service fee of $100 to the DIALOG Company. Students may use the service when traditional printed indexes like Reader's Guide and York Times Index and other indexes to magazines, newspapers sources fail to produce timely and pertinent references. The DIALOG computer has many more topic headings in its crossreferenced system so that a user will have a greater chance of finding the printed sources that might be relevant. DIALOG's cross references include the usual title-author basic subject headings, but also abstracts of articles which include key words used in the reports and articles. Stepanovich says this flexible, automatic type of crossreference offers an instant and extensive search which would take library users many times longer when using the limited topic listings in printed indexes. As an example, Stepanovich relates that last term a student could not find any listings in traditional indexes for ''solar Last April LCC became the first Oregon community college to subscribe to DIALOG, a computerized literature searching system that brings about vast changes in the retrieval of information. DIALOG is a Palo Altobased company owned by Lockheed Missiles and Space Systems. The company buys over 140 computerized indexes, or data bases, from companies that index newspapers, conference papers, technical reports, patents, and statistical data. It then feeds the data into DIALOG's computers. The data can then be accessed by subscribers anywhere in the country -- such as LCC library who own the necessary computer equipment to properly ask for and receive them. The data bases are updated regularly to include information as recent as yesterday's newspaper articles. Mitch Stepanovich, a librarian at LCC for eight years, says the cost of setting up this service for library users was lessened by the fact that the college library was already equipped with the computer keyboard and printer needed for the operation. So the initial costs for the program tJl~-tll)li> by Lynda Steele for the TORCH Aviation Administration, coupled with LCC ''in-house'' rules are behind these astonishing flight safety figures. And Hagberg will point out that Flight Tech has been at LCC for 13 years, with each flawless year proving the value of strict regulations and constant safety instruction. All airlines in the country must comply with the government's FAA regulations. The rules are very complex, with Fifty thousand accident-free hours, totaling about six million air miles, is a record of which to be proud, says Terry Hagberg, head of the Flight Technology Department at LCC.

The term was not used in a title, and was too new to be included as a topic heading. But DIALOG listed the term and gave the name of the article which contained it. The cost to the person requesting the search is a total of three fees: The charge for the computer time required; the long-distance phone call to Telenet Communications Systems in Salem which provides access to DIALOG computers in Palo Alto; and a service fee. The average total for the search has been from $3 to $7, says Stepanovich. He questions the idea of charging extra for this technology, worrying that if a surcharge becomes permanent and more and more library services are computerized, information may be denied to those people without the money to gain access to it. Users must be assisted by a qualified librarian because of the complexity of the computer language required to use the equipment. In fact, he sees the necessity for a "massive job of reeducating" people to use computer systems like DIALOG. In the future, becoming "computer literate" will be important even at the elementary school age level, he says. In addition to his 13 years of library work, Stepanovich is completing an M.S. in educational administration at the U of 0, and also an A.S. in computer science at LCC. He has already earned a bachelor's degree in social science and an M.S. in librarianship. His specialty is automated references.

Even the most basic steps are explained, illustrating when exactly to perform a simple procedural task, such as the pilot's lowering the air masks. The "in-house" regulations created and enforced by the Flight Tech Dept. are more intricate additions to the FAA codes. One major difference restricts flying in some weather conditions. For instance, beginning students are allowed to fly only in good weather, although advanced students are sometimes per- mitted to fly in rain or fog. Advanced second year students are also required to pilot under supervision when flying longer routes over mountains to North Bend or Redmond. Beginning students usually need only IO to 12 hours of flying time with an instructor before soloing, which sounds surprisingly low to outsiders. But Hagberg says it's a comparable time used by other aviation schools, and since LCC has such a controlled environment, students are perhaps more prepared for their first solo flight, he explains. :From the first day of the ·: program, students are flying planes. Hagberg believes that it's best to let students fly immediately in order to get over any anxieties they may have before beginning any of the readings that are in store. Every student must read all the FAA manuals; and be aware of the ex isting "in-house" rules. Upon completion of the readings, all students are tested on their knowledge of all areas of piloting. If all tests are passed, and 200 hours of flying time are logged in, then the FAA grants a pilot's license.

He also gets the opportunity to see other parts of Oregon, which he enjoys. Another difference that Cooper has noticed is the physical aggressiveness with which the sport is played in college. ''College basketball is a lot more physical," he says. "' It's harder and a lot faster than high school.'' He has noticed some of the same aggressiveness, however. "I have seen a lot of the pushing and shoving that I saw in high school." by Connie Boggs of the TORCH When talking to Michael Cooper off the basketball court he appears to be quiet and shy. But the 6'2" freshman from Inglewood, California finds it easy to come out of his shell while playing his favorite sport. As captain of the Titan basketball team, it is his responsibility to lead the floor talk during a game and make sure his teammates understand what is going on. So far this season, before league play began, Cooper had been named to two alltournament teams, co-MVP of the Titan tip-off tourney, LCC Athlete of the Week, and was averaging 15 points a game compared to 10 points a game during his high school basketball career. Even though he is doing so well, he did not know what to expect when he came to Lane. '' I thought it would be tougber," he says. "People tell you it's tough." A LCC star forward Michael Cooper Cooper began taking basketball seriously when he started playing competitively in the seventh grade. Since that time, he has wanted to play college ball and ''if a miracle should happen I would like to play professional ball.'' His first pro choice would be the San Diego Clippers.

But people here are friendlier, Cooper admits, although Inglewood . and Eugene are about the same size and '' Inglewood has • more people and there's more to do." Cooper decided to come to LCC after visiting the school last May.

Much of that improvement may be attributed to the level of competition he is seeing at Lane.

These are characteristics he always looks for. Before playing at Crenshaw, Cooper played at Serra High School in He Calif. , Gardena, • transferred to Crenshaw his junior year "because the been playing couldn't beat the high schools down there (in California)," he says In comparing high school basketball to community college basketball, Cooper notes -several differences. The first thing he observes is the difference in crowd participation. The spirit in high school is quite a bit greater, he says. "I like the crowc;ls," Cooper says. ''They motivate people." Secondly, he thinks college basketball is more fun than high school ball because he never had the experience of taking long road trips. For example, the Titans traveled to Finanda l aid deadline near by Larry Swanson of the TORCH Another major problem, says Howard, occurs when students send FAFs after funds have been committed. The deadline this year to receive maximum funding is April 1. Students may still apply for some types of financial aid after April 1, but Howard says, "Apply now. The earlier the better." Even larger problems may face financial aid recipients in 1982-83. Educational programs have been targeted by the Reagan administration in its next round of budgetcutting. Howard says her office won't receive word on the changes until April or May, but she predicts smaller Pell grants and cuts in other programs. Well, it's . that time of year again. Time to fill out endless forms. Time to sweat out deadline dates. Time to pull out those long-lost income records. Yes, it is income tax time. But more importantly, for students anyway, it's also time to send the 4-page Financial Aid Form (FAF) to Berkeley, Calif. The College Scholarship Service in Berkeley uses the FAF to determine students' financial aid eligibility and sends their findings to the applicants' schools.

Cooper is used to playing on winning teams and against star players. In his junior year his team went undefeated and during his senior year his team lo~t the championship game by thirteen points. Cooper has played against famous players such as Freeman Wiliams, Darvin Cooke, and Ralph Jackson in pick-up games that are sometimes called "street games." If Michael wasn't playing basketball, he would still be going to school but near his hometown. '' If the team and the year are bad, then I won't be back next year. I could stay home and do bad." But then he also says, "I would cry at night if I weren't playing. Basketball is something I like to do a lot." Michael Cooper certainly has nothing to cry about this season.

After getting stuck while parking her car in the LCC parking lot one day last week, Susan, being in a hurry for class, simply left it where it was and decided to worry about it later. That afternoon, when she and her roommate Julie attempted to get the car off of the icy pavement and back on the road, they were unsuccessful. Susan estimated that l O to 15 men walked by without offering to help but looking with amusement upon their situat tion. Finally, as the strength in their arms began to give out, Susan and Julie were able to get the car out of the parking lot and most of the way home before it refused to climb the hill to their apartment complex.

During the night, an enthusiastic builder had erected a line of snowmen across her stre.et, curb to curb. And looking behind her, Melody realized that going the opposite direction was also futile. A line of snowmen stretched from sidewalk to sidewalk in that direction, too. "So," she says, "I got out of the car and started beating them up.'' ,,, J' .,_ . / '' •, . ·.1 ..

This film which took four years to make and features great names in its rank of actors, actresses and supporting production staff will go down in film history as a highly debated film. Warren Beatty didn't produce, direct and write a perfect film, but my message to him is "It was worth the effort; Try again." And my message to film goers is that Reds is a must to see. Critics are missing the most important efforts of Beatty's fourth film production. For example, Reds is being unfavorably compared with David Lean's 1965 epic Dr. Zhivago. But other than the fact that the two movies are set during the Russian Revolution and have as a central theme the love of two dynamic people, the comparison need end here. Reds is a much more important film. Beatty and co-writer Trevor Griffiths wrestle with the revolutionary ideologies of America and Russia. This attempt prods 1980 American viewers to explore a world of political and cultural change. The movie is about people struggling to merge their idealism with real life situations, straddling a teeter-totter that bobs between the events that happen outside of their control and their ideas. Quite an undertaking for those bent on using traditional Hollywood formats. It is not surprising, therefore, that most reviewers gloss over Reds' superb effort to capture how dissent and the consequent growth of analysis to direct and explain the root of that dissent grows into revolution. The depiction of New York's Greenwich Village yields a fluid comingling of turn-of-the-century bohemians -- the artists, intelligentsia and .socialists -who lived on the fringes of mainstream society. Immigrants and workers round out the political grouping. The viewer is not given rigid stereotypes but is given a glimpse of a different kind of marketplace -that of progressive ideas. One can travel backward or forward from the film's time to see the immediate parallels. Karl Marx associated with the bohemians of the mid-1800s. Many divergent social movements spilled from this cauldron of coffee house parlaying. For example, Michael Bakunin, who was Marx's friend, eventually developed an approach to socialism which came to be known as Anarchism. Americans who participated in the social movements of the 1960s and 70s can readily recognize in their friends the variety of approaches toward reaching mutual goals. Beatty features a little-known journalist, John Reed (played by Beatty) and his journalist wife, Louise Bryant (played by Diane Keaton). Reed's eyewitness account of the Bolshevik Revolution, Ten Days That Shook The World, is far better known than he. Yet Reed, who was born in Portland, has been described as perhaps the best foreign correspondent this country has known. It is a pity that little, other than professional growth, is shown about the work of Bryant. She was a war correspondent covering the French front during WWI and later joined Reed in Russia to cover the Bolshevik's assension to power. Maureen Stapleton, in keeping with the film's innovative spirit, offers an excellent portrayal of an important historical feminist, Emma Goldman. To my knowledge this character has never been featured in a major film. (The film Ragtime deleted before release many controversial perspectives on the American Left including a portrayal of Goldman.) It is Reds' interpretation of Emma Goldman's political analysis which continually gains play throughout the film. At one point, Goldman and Reed, both exiled in Russia, confer about the bloody progress of the revolution. This is one of the most , telling scenes of the movie. Goldman confronts Reed with her unhappiness about how the Bolshevik'~ r Emma Goldman (Maureen Stapleton) and John Reed (Warren Beatty). bureaucracy is crushing the spirit of dissent in the Russian people. Although he, too, is extrememly disappointed, he defends the purges and stiff martial law as necessary steps toward achieving a greater lasting freedom. What stands out here is common to us all: His idealism is on trial. A failure of the revolution in the streets of Petrograd is a failure of his aspirations. And he is not ready to face this possibility. But Goldman is. She sees the revolution being waged in the bureaucratic halls of the imperial palace rather than in the streets. She does not consider the failures of the Russian experiment to be failures of her own political efforts. Her work is on a worldwide scale. She plans to molt Russia's movement and to don Spain's strong anarchist movement. Reed's struggle to graft his idealism onto a harsh practical world is the underpinning of his powerful romance with Bryant. Eugene O'Neill (played with the smoldering intensity that only Jack Nicholson can pull off) becomes, briefly, a lover with Bryant. He represents a challenge to pat, idealistic, "free-love" agreements between Reed and Bryant. It is Bryant's desire to tap Reed's love for her on an irrational, spontaneous level, and her desire to be Reed's equal as a writer, that lead , her to separate from him. A lot of Hollywood schlock unfortunately obscures this important theme. Bryant is screened as petulent, petty and flighty -- a 70s space-cadet alight in the rigid mores of the early 1900s. She treks across the icelands of northern Europe to be with her incarcerated man (Reed was temporarily imprisoned by anti-communist Finnish officials). It's all a Hollywood invention which betrays her earlier character growth. Before that trek she had grown to realize how Reed's idealism was destroying his integrity. He had bitterly attempted to apply the zeal of the Russian Revolution to the American workers' leftist movement. He left the American Socialist Party to form the more radical Communist Labor Party. But the CLP and the rival splinter group, the American Communist Party, vied for the Bolshevik's endorse1 ment. Reed had to return to Russia to gain the party's approval. Bryant adamantly objected in typical Hollywood fashion: "I may not be here when you return.'' But Bryant is still a much stronger character than most critics let on. She matures politically as she learns to resist the changes in Reed's character which are sweeping him away. But Reed does come to realize the lessons offered Photo courtesy of Paramount Pictures · by Bryant and Goldman when he ·confronts the Bolshevik bureacrat, Gregory Zinoviev (well played by Jerzy Kosinski, author of The Painted Bird and Being There.) Beatty's scenes with Kosinski are some of his best in the film. He drops a characterization he has carried through many of his films, often playing characters as simultaneously innocent and cunning. Reed and Zinoviev are on the Red Army's propaganda train deep in the White Army's territory. (The White Army with the backing of Western Allies attempted to annihilate the Bolshevik's control of Russia.) Reed discovers the bureaucrat had rewritten his speech. An ill, haggard Reed demands that Zinoviev never "rewrite what I write." We are taken full circle. Earlier in the film when Reed had much personal strength, he demanded of his American editor never to "rewrite what I write." Reed is no longer being swept away, is regaining personal strength, his integrity, despite the fact that the Bolshevik political machine is insurmountable. The White Army attacks the train. Reed throws himself into the battle. The scene fades as he chases an artillary wagon to board it. The opening scenes of the movie were of a young Reed chasing one of Pancho Villa's wagons while covering the Mexican Revolution. Beatty's performance is energetic even though he obviously courts the audience's favor with many cute scenes. ·But it is his line of credits that leaves one breathless: Producer, director, co-writer and actor. He spent nearly 10 years preparing for this film. Reed and Bryant's romance is overplayed. But when Reds concentrates on tempestuous social movements in the second half of the film, it explores unfashionable subjects well. Its trajectory from event to event gives a sense of spontaneity that is exciting. Beatty intersperses interviews of 32 actual aquaintances, contemporaries and associates of Reed and Bryant throughout the film which rewards the viewer with an uncanny sense of historical time and place. Reds is a passionate yet commonplace history squeezed through the sieve of corporate Hollywood production and presented to a public hungry for a deeper understanding of ideologies. It dares to acknowledge that an American historical Left exists. Perhaps its biggest failure lies in an attempt to entertain lightly and to document seriously an important historical period. Beatty loses focus. Although it falls short of what it could have been, it broadens the scope of American film making. In the telling of the story of an American idealist's good intentions, Beatty and company explore the complex.: . ities of the revolutionary spirit -- both in Russia and America. The TORCH January 14, 1982 - .fffi!OM 22 10~ Page 9 New film probes newspaper ethics by Jeff Keating of the TORCH When trying to determine what is news and what is rumor newspapers must frequently take a chance, run a risk, and hope that what they get is the right news. Absence of Malice, a new film from Columbia Pictures and producer Ronald C. Schwary, concerns a journalistic risk that turns into a mistake, the difference between truth and accuracy, and getting even. Megan Carter (Sally Field) is a newspaper reporter who latches on to a police in- vestigation of Michael Gallagher (Paul Newman), a bootlegger's son suspected of killing a powerful Miami waterfront bigwig. As Megan probes into the investigation, she comes to know Michael as an honest man, not a suspected murderer. They both come to the conclusion that he is being set up to give the police information about the real killer, and he devises an intricate plot to get even with press and police. The whole story turns on the title. "Absence of malice," is a legal term applied to a situation where a newspaper has reported the news accurately -the facts as the paper knows them -- but not truthfully. Even if that "accurate" news indirectly judges the person(s) to whom it pertains, the media is free of libel charges if they can prove they did not do it with malicious intent. Absence of Malice raises a lot of questions about the American system of justice and the media's coverage of that form of justice. Do the authorities have the right to merely "create a suspect" if they happen to be stumped? Do they have the right to give the subject's name to the media? And does Local duo to give workshop by Marty Schwarzbauer of the TORCH Local singer-songwriters Laurie Brown and Rob McIntosh will appear at a folk consongwriting and cert workshop in the LCC cafeteria Monday, Jan. 18. The concept of the comand concert bination workshop reflects an increasingly popular trend among actors, dancers, mime artists and musicians and singers to establish a stronger connection with their audiences. McIntosh feels that any artist's popularity can be increased ''if you can kind of get something from them while they're here.'' Of the workshop, McIntosh says, "It will be an open forum in that I don't pretend to know everything there is about anything. I just have some ideas to share. Hopefully, . this will give people stimulus to get them motivated.'' His aim, he adds, is to give workshop participants ideas as tools to work with. The emphasis will be on creativity. Brown and McIntosh plan discussions on melody and harmony writing and basic arranging, and have prepared handouts for students to take home as reference guides. They will also cover accompaniment, lyric writing and an introduction to chord theory. Although the workshop isn't necessarily geared to people who play instruments, those who wish to bring them are welcome, says McIntosh, but "obviously you can't bring in a bunch of pianos.'' Brown, 25, and McIntosh, 29, are both natives of Washington and have been performing full-time together in the Eugene area for over two years. Their repertoire can range from one-half to totally original music, depending on the length of the show. Other material includes songs by artists such as Mimi and Richard Farina, Joni Mitchell, John Prine, old time fiddle music and some traditional folk songs. According to McIntosh, the two will most likely release an album sometime this fall, because, "In the folk world, that's how you do it -- an album is a calling card." Their concerts on January 18 are scheduled for 11 a.m. to [A6LCC LEGAL 6EQV!C~ fl ll l ff Free legal services for registered LCC students ll Services include ~_..~Iii •, • Routine Legal matters '.

In any event, this film is an entertaining two hours that belongs to a dying breed of films -- you actually have to do some thinking to get anything out of it. Paul Newman has his best role in years as Gallagher. His character seems stoic at first, but evolves into a complex, emotional man indignant at the audacity of government agencies. Newman hasn't had a hit in a while (his most recent success was 1977's highly underrated S/apshot), but his performances are still strong and he is an appealing force on the screen. Wilford Brimley has a wonderful role as a government investigator sent to Miami to quiz Michael, Megan and the police investigative team. He is a down-home boy who happens to be a deceptively sharp thinker. Bob (Prince of the City) Balaban performs well in the role of Elliot Rosen, the presumptious and obnoxious head of the police strike force. His character offends throughout the entire film, and his impending demise is evident. If there is any drawback to this movie, it is Field's character. Although the Oscar-winning (Norma Rae) actress gives a compelling performance, her role is weak. A good reporter is able to find important news by using his/her skills, but should also know how to use discretion. In at least two instances, Megan Carter is just plain stupid, assuming too much and abusing her sources. As a package, however, Absence of Malice is a good, solid effort. And in a time when Hollywood is pushing a "whatever sells" philosophy, films that make you think are hard to come by.

He knows his 1981-82 men's basketball team can ring points up on the scoreboard and has the quickness and speed to match anybody in the Oregon Community College Athletic Association. But can his team can overcome its lack of height and experience? ''Yes,'' says Bates, whose squad finished 15-16 overall last year. "We're short, but we've got good solid overall quickness and fair depth and at the worst, we'll be an exciting team to watch." Leading Lane will be Gilbert Crummie, a 6'5" sophomore transfer from LA Harbor Junior College in California. "He's very good. A solid fundamentalist with a soft shot,'' says Bates of the athlete who appears to be ready to become the team's ''star.'' Another player that Bates is high on is Mike Cooper, a 6'2" freshman guard/forward. Cooper, from Los Angeles, is developing a fine jump shot. His jumping ability and quickness are important aspects in Bates' plans for this season. "Mike will be a big player for us," says Bates. "He's capable of scoring and rebounding in double figures, and with his quickness and strength can become one of our finest players." After that, the starting lineup is hard to pin down. Jeff Peterson, a sub on last year's squad, could start at forward, with James Lassen playing post, Mark Jones and Ken Jeffers as guards, and Darren Rice at forward. If there is a problem to be concerned with, it is Lane's lack of height, with only one player at 6'5" and another at 6'3". "We're going to have to play big," says Bates. "We bound good, meaning our coil ability to jump is very good, right down our lineup.'' Height problems are not restricted to just the men's basketball squad, however. The women's team is also having it's share of size problems. Short on college level experience as well as height, the women will attempt to use their outstanding speed and quickness to overcome their weaknesses, says Titan coach Sue Thompson. But don't count the young Titans out of the OCCAA championship chase just yet. Some nifty outside shooting and a returning starter in Dena Allen might just be the answer to Lane's problems. "Yes, we're extremely young, lots of freshmen (nine of the 15 team members,)" says Thompson. "At fi1st we'll probably make freshman mistakes, but we do have talent." Unfortunately, so does the rest of the league. In fact, word among coaches around the league is that the conference as a whole will be much improved over last season. Last year, with Allen pulling the trigger on the fastbreak, the Titans captured fourth place with a 8-8 mark and finished 11-12 overall. Last year's squad was heavily dependent on its outside shooting, partly because of its rebounding problems (6th in league.) This year could mean much of the same for the height-shy Titans, ''but maybe not" says Thompson. "He is well-balanced in all areas of wrestling -strength, quickness, and technique. But it is his concentration that enables him to win his matches," said coach Pete Helzer. "Hill is a blue chip athlete that could be starting on varsity wrestling teams for schools like the U of 0, Portland State and Pacific.'' in the two games, collecting 13 points and 14 points respectively. "We're really working on blocking out and getting in good position for the rebound,'' says Thompson, who is also the school's athletic director. Once the Titans do grab a rebound, look for things to happen quickly. "One thing I know we can do,'' says Thompson, "is use our speed to get the ball down the court much quicker than our op- ponents.'' Another strength that Thompson hopes to pit against opponents is the team's excellent depth on the bench. ''We have a good distribution of talent among a lot of players, and barring injuries, we expect to have five fresh players on the court during the entire game." On defense, the Titans will hold off on pressing opponents early in the season and will use a sticky zone defense instead. "Because of our height problem,'' says Thompson, ''we're going to have to apply lots of pressure on the ball, keeping it away from the center. We're so darn little, they're going to take it inside unless we deny that pass." On offense, Lane will use two zone offenses, both of which work the ball around to find the open outside shot. When it can take the ball inside, the offense will use inside picks and screens to open up the middle of the key.
