Exchange program nixed

by Larry Swanson
of the TORCH

The Mexican government
has cancelled plans to continue
a unique training program offered at LCC.
Twelve Mexican students
have studied farm machinery
repair here since last summer.
Their studies, arranged
through the League for Innovation in the Community
College, LCC and the Mexican
government, will end April 30.
The students and LCC officials assumed that the Mexican government would continue to sponsor the students
for the second year of the twoyear agricultural mechanics
program.
But LCC administrators
and the program instructor say
the Mexican government called off plans to continue the

When Mexican officials
toured LCC last year, they saw

Piercey, associate dean of instruction, says the students'
expectations that they, too,
would work on new equipment
led to a critical evaluation of

11th week of the program, he
says, the Mexican government
used the negative reports submitted in the fifth week as the
basis to cancel the program.
"We were surprised," says
Piercey, "We thought we were
doing a heck of a fine job."
He says the only reason for the
cancellation that he is aware of
is complaints by students
about working with used
equipment.
LCC won't lose any money
due to the cancellation, says
Piercey. "The loss is to the
students."
Although their government
has cut off the exchange program, nine of the twelve
students say they hope to continue in the agricultural
mechanics program at LCC.
All of the students rely on
$500 monthly checks from the
Mexican government. They
say they want to continue with
their education in Eugene and
hope to convince officials to
continue sending their checks,
even though they won't be in a
government sponsored program.

Budget woes battering Lane County coffers
by Paula Case
of the TORCH

Lane County faces a $9
million shortfall for its
1982-83 budget.
And County Commissioner
Scott Lieuallen says if action
isn't taken immediately, it will
be a "potential disaster."
County departments have
requested an operating budget
of $49 million but the county
expects to have less than $40
million in income to finance
those requests.

Lieuallen says that wiping
out the $9 million shortfall
would be equivalent to
eliminating all county services
relating to planning, building
and sanitation, environmental
health, zoning and land division, housing, economic
development, juveniles, and
assessment and taxation.
Already several county service programs have asked for
increased budgets but since the
economy has worsened,
revenue to pay for these increases is not coming into the
county treasury.

For example, county officials say the indigent defense
program is expected to receive
$300,000 more than its $1.6
million budget.

• Income tax time looms,
but this year's tax bite
won't be quite as deep. See
story, page 3.

• Australian films are a
fast-developing force in the
cinema world. See analysis,
pages 6 & 7.

The county government
depends on federal aod state
revenues for its income.
Lieuallen says that in order for
Lane County to economically
improve, it must become selfsufficient: "We're totally at
the state and federal government's control. That's why
we're in this mess to begin
with."

He said that deficits and
consequent cuts in the state's
budget -- especially those involving timber issues -- have a
detrimental effect on Lane
County. Almost half of a projected $643,000 in fees, and
license and permit revenues
will be lost because of the lack
of building activity.
Lieuallen says to simply
reduce spending will only save
the county about $2 to $3
million, leaving a remaining $6
to $7 million deficit. He,
therefore, says a new tax base
is needed to eradicate the

shortfall.
Lieuallen wants action from
the commissioners immediately. H·e plans to put a measure
for the tax increase on the May
election ballot before the
March 18 deadline to allow
commissioners time to campaign for its passage.
''The citizens of Lane
County should have the opportunity to go to the polls. If
they defeat (the measure) it's
going to dismantle Lane

El Salvador:

Lace the facts with your feelings

Editorial
by Ron Kelley
of the TORCH

My neighbor was on the other end of the line.
Her voice was raspy, almost tearful: "Did you hear? I'm reading this incredible
article. It's from the San Francisco Examiner. Ron, you won't believe it.
"Reagan is certifying that the people in El Salvador aren't being slaughtered.
He's saying its OK there. And he's sending $55 million -- on his own -- to their
military, even though Congress is pissed."
A friend called last night while I was at work to ask if there was a TV around.
He wanted me to watch a special McNeil/Leh er report about El Salvador.
Yes, El Salvador, that tiny Central American country of 4.5 million people, is in
the news again. It has been a year since media has substantially covered the war
there. And during that year nearly 17,000 Salvadorans (mostly rebels) have died
bringing the total for the last two years to 30,000.
I am thankful that our fickled interests do run in cycles. Because events in El
Salvador have and will continue to effect us profoundly.
It is difficult to convey feeling in regard to the horrors inflicted on the poor and
disenfranchised of this country. Very difficult.
With repeated use the facts
become dry, lifeless. But it is not the facts that are repeating themselves; it's the
similar ugly events that are repeated.
Vietnam taught us that the death count of "TV wars" deadens our sensitivities.
How long will it take to lose touch with the impact of 700 to 900 men, women and
children herded, shot and burned by Salvadoran troops last December?
Or how long for the 20 to 27 men and women who were dragged out of their
homes and shot by 200 armed security personnel last week? Relatives claim some
of the women were raped and ca11 the raid a massacre of innocent students and
workers. But a government communique says ''the operation was a great success''
against leftist guerillas.
Yes, I know an investigation of both matters is pending. I share with other
Americans a great deal of confusion about details of events there.
But wholesale slaughter is documented -- a matter of public record. And
reputable government and civil organizations (such as Amnesty International)
throughout the world have reported thousands of atrocities.
And we may recall the murqer of four American nuns and a Catholic layperson
more than a year ago. Although security forces were involved, no one has been
punished.
State the facts, please

So while I am stating ream after ream of hard-core facts, my feelings stir untapped.

But OK -- the facts, please. Let's look at them because it's important to know
why El Salvador has resurfaced in the national media.
Fact. We are supporting an unpopular minority government. Even Reagan
would admit to this. And State Department representatives have admitted that if
we pull out of El Salvador, the popular leftist forces will win.
Fact. This formula -- supporting an unpopular government with military aid -too dearly resembles "Vietnam."
Fact. Heavy escalation of our involvement is taking place:
• Reagan's certification that the junta has ceased human rights violations and
has initiated reforms will release from Congress $65 million in aid.
• Reagan is asking Congress for an additional $100 million this year and for a
possible $300 million in the fiscal year beginning this October.
• Reagan is sending $55 million -- on his own -- as emergency military aid.
Fact. Atrocities are still being committed, nearly 17,000 have been murdered
this year, and the notorious "death squads" are tools of the government. Civil
liberties -- such as court-room justice -- are arbitrary and in many cases nonexistent.
And now back to feelings

The administration prefers to justify atrocities to assure that communism does
not succeed in another country. And Reagan will gladly plow hundreds of millions
of dollars into the hands of a government that survives despite its public's outcry.
But what it really comes down to is sigh once again the corporate dollar and the
strategic interests to protect that dollar.
El Salvador lies at the point of a triangle that controls oil flow to the US from
foreign sources. When we lost influence in Nicaragua in 1979, tiny El Salvador
became our glue for Central American control.
Admittedly, the Soviet Union is also imperialistic. And Cuba does have the
largest Latin American military force. And Nicaragua is no longer our sphere of
influence since its people ousted the US backed dictator Somoza.
That flip-side -- the US
But the flip-side of that coin worries me more.
government -- represents me, my loved ones, my friends, and a country full of
wonderful people to the rest of the world.
And I dare say that we Americans will be less willing to be silent partners in
tragedies as we learn to lace the facts with our feelings.
But the flip-side of that coin worries me more.
That flip-side -- the US
government -- represents me, my loved ones, my friends, and a country full of
wonderful people to the rest of the world.
I share a public sentiment of confusion, frustration and at times rage.
And I dare say that we Americans will be less willing to be silent partners in
tragedies as we learn to lace the facts with our feelings.

Haig-like rhetoric, Mr. Munion finally asserts that "as
long as there is communist influence in Central America,
through the action of Cuba,
there will be no lasting peace
in the region.'' I would suggest
something different; that as
long as there are brutal
American-supported military
regimes that systematically
massacre innocent civilians,
there will be no peace. Oppressed people will resist. The
essence of Lenninism teaches
them that this is their Godgiven right.
If Mr. Munion were to examine the dynamics of the
Marxist-Lenninist movement
in El Salvador, for example,
he would not find a handful of
bloodthirsty mercenaries, but
instead, a mass movement of
desperately poor peasants
demanding only an equitable
share of the land in their nation -- 40 percent of which lies
in the hands of fewer than 39
percent of the population. Can
they be blamed?
Mr. Munion concludes that
''Marxist-Lenninist governments make things worse, not
better.'' In this, he may be
correct.
.it all depends . .

Perhaps Mr. Munion does not
believe that medical care,
education, and equitable
distribution of land are conducive to a better life. For the
people of Cuba and
Nicaragua, the difference has
been astounding. If Mr. Munion has a hard time accepting
these basic facts, perhaps he
should speak with someone
who has really been to these
countries, instead of blindly
accepting the information that
is so carefully filtered out by
those few Americans (at the
top) who really benefit from
our intervention in Central
America.

Women don't get
pregnant alone
To The Editor:

I am writing this letter in
rebuttal to the extremely
ludicrous letter entitled, ''Sex
Control?," which was submitted by Lindsey Killian in last
week's edition (Jan. 28) of the
TORCH. I will make this brief
and to the point.
I would like to know where
this person got the idea that

women get pregnant all by
themselves. Does he think that
we can get pregnant off of
toilet seats, in swimming
pools,
or
by eating
watermelon seeds? At least he
doesn't think the stork brings
babies, I hope.
Killian wrote that, ''Every
time a woman chooses to have
sex with a man, she is making
a decision that could potentially affect her entire life." Obviously, he believes that men
have no part of the decision to
engage in sex and as a result
should have no responsibility
for the outcome. I think this
person can be quickly
straightened out by asking his
mother where he came from.
I'm sure she would be more
than happy to tell him that she
didn't get pregnant singlehandedly.
My point is not for or
against the abortion issue
(although I do believe women
should have the choice), but
for the fact that in most cases,
barring rape and incest, the
decision to engage in sex is a
mutual one and the responsibilities should be likewise.

Tax cuts change filing format
by Belinda Gomez
of the TORCH

With April 15 only 70 days
away, the impact of the tax cut
last August will make filing
easier for the majority of taxpayers.
The tax cut brought many
changes which won't be in effect until next year. But those
changes in effect now have
altered deductions, forms, and
the tax table.
In the past, the short form
(1040A) served only those with
taxable income less than
$40,000. For 1981, the taxable
income stipulation has been
increased to $50,000, which
allows taxpayers to file the
~hort and simpler 1040A.
By using the 1040A, itemizing deductions is not allowed.
The choice to itemize can save
money, but reuqires extra time
to fill in the long and complicated form 1040.

Itemizing deductions always
benefits those who surpass the
zero bracket amount, com-.
monly referred to standard
deduction, for their filing
status.
For single or head of
household taxpayers, that
amount is $2300; for married
couples filing jointly, the
amount is $3400; and those
married and filing separately,
the standard deduction is
$1700.
Children must file the 1040
when claimed as a deduction
on the parent's return and had
interest, dividends or other
unearned income of $1,000 or
more.
Changes in allowable deductions include an increase in tax
exemption of certain interest
and dividends. A single taxpayer is allowed to exempt up
to $200, and couples filing
jointly are allowed a $400 exemption.

Examples of qualifying interst for this exemption are as
follows: Interest from U.S.
bank accounts, credit unions,
and other similar institutions.
A qualifying dividend is
defined as an ordinary dividend paid out of the earnings
and profits of a U.S. corporation. This includes distribution
of corporate dividends for
common stock and preferred
stock and distributions from
real estate investment trusts or
money market funds.
Another change that eases
filing processes and decreases
error is the tax table. In
previous years a tax table existed for each filing status. For
1981, the government sent only one table for simple
reference.
Tu determine the amount of
income subject to taxation,
filers must subtract $1,000 for
each exemption and read the
table to find the tax. The

Violence erupts in Poland

POLAND -- Only .one day after Poland's massive
price jump of almost 400 percent in retail food and
other goods, the worst violence in weeks broke out in
Gdansk this week.
Poland's Interior Ministry reports street fighting that
resulted in at least 14 injuries and 205 arrests. It does
not attribute the riots to the price hikes.
Warsaw Radio says authorities responded by cutting
telephone service and issuing a curfew.
US film gets mixed reviews

POLAND -- The US film" Let Poland be Poland,"
broadcast to 50 countries via satellite Jan. 31 evoked
mixed reactions. It called for the Polish government to
relax martial law restrictions. The Soviets denounced
the film and a London newspaper called it a
"devestating global flop." West Germany and Canada,
however, have praised the broadcast and say that the
martial law threatens world peace.
Judge rules against homosexual parents

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA -- The State
Supreme Court Feb. 3 upheld a lower court ruling permitting a child to be taken from homosexual parents if
the judge finds it to be "in the best interest of the
child."
In a case involving a lesbian and her sons who were
living with another lesbian, psychiatrists testified that
the children might be confused over whether to accept
society's rules or their parent's.

MORTON GROVE, ILLINOIS -- A rural town of
27,000 has enacted the nation's first all out ban on
possession and sale of handguns.
Effective Feb. I, violation of this precedent-setting
law is punishable as a misdemeanor with a $500 fine.
More than 400 municipalities nationwide have requested
copies of the controversial legislation.
Economic woes shared by other countries

JAPAN-CANADA -- If we think Oregon's unemployment and inflation rates are high, consider Japan and
Canada. During 1981, Canada's inflation of 12.5 percent marks its second highest rate in 33 years. And
Japan's unemployment rate hit its all time high (since
World War II) of 1.26 million or 2.2 percent of the work

the terror I went through . .. "
by Susan Crosman
of the TORCH
" I was at a point where I
couldn ' t feed m ys elf. I
couldn' t even take the spoon
and put it into my mouth .. . I
was like a zombie. It was very
much of an effort to do the
simplest task . .. ' '
Her voice quavers. She
pauses. For Carol Lee Fletcher, reliving her past is no
simple task. With trembling
fi ngers and fidgeting hands,
she relates her experience of
swinging from highs to lows in
a "dismal, dark tunnel" of
torment. She draws a deep
breath and uneasily ventures
into her past.
" When I was very low,
delirious and hallucinating, I
was physically and mentally
disabled; unable to distinguish
between the real and the
unreal world. I would imagine
all kinds of things. Horrible
things. Like my son and
daughter were being killed -murdered over and over and
over again.
. I can still
remember vividly the terror I
went through."
In 1970 Carol Lee was admitted to Holiday Park Mental Hospital. She was diagnosed
as
a
paranoid
schizophrenic. Although she
spent the next four years alternating between private care
. and hospital care, her condition failed to improve.
Even with treatments of
therapeutic drugs, electroshock and psychotherapy,
Carol Lee and her family

became increasingly desperate.
And for the Fletchers her
need for psychiatric help came
abruptly and uncontrollably
into their lives.
"Since I was a teenager I
had had mood swings. I would
say a little more than the
norm," says Carol Lee. But
her disorder was not obvious
enough at the time to arouse
concern.
Carol Lee • was a shy,
withdrawn t eenager who
" couldn' t even look anybody
in the eye," but she didn't
notice any peculiar symptoms
until living alone in Los
Angeles at age 19. She suffered some feelings of depression - and realized "things
weren't quite right," but never
considered that her mental
health was at stake.
Her mother and grandmother had suffered symptoms of extreme mood swings
in their adulthoods. And
evidence supports the
possibility that a genetic factor
may be linked to bipolar
disorders -- those characterized by periods of elation
(mania) and depression. But
Carol Lee didn't make any
conclusions about the genetic
similarities.
When she married Layton
Fletcher in 1959, she still lacked confidence. Feelings of nervousness and anxiety continued, but she felt they were
nothing out of the ordinary
for a housewife taking care of
two children.
When she began work at
Douglas Gardens Elementary

School in 1967, she was having
a difficult time dealing with
family •stress ·and pressure at
work.
Suddenly, in Feb. 1970, her
mood swings worsened. '' I
ju st started feeling like
everything was closing in on
me . . . I remember I couldn't
think. That really bothered me
because. . .I was trying to
teach another girl how to be an
aide. I couldn't concentrate on
what I was doing. And of
course because of this I was
feeling anxious and afraid."
Carol Lee suffered a
"mental breakdown" three
days before Valentines Day.
Layton rushed her to a general
practitioner in Springfield.
But when an injection of an
anti-psychotic drug didn't
calm his irrational wife, she
was staight-jacketed and
transported by ambulance to a
mental hospital in Portland.
Hospital personnel weren't ·
aware of her prior medication
and injected Carol Lee with
another heavy sedative. When
she went into shock from the
overdose, she was placed in intensive care for several days
where she nearly died.
According to studies,
therapeutic drugs have become
a preferred method of treatment during recent years.
However, controversy exists as
to whether the therapeutic
drugs actually help improve
mental disorders or suppress
them.
Portland's Holiday Park
Hospital also gave Carol Lee a
series of electro-shock
treatments (ECT) -- another
highly controversial form of
treatment: "It was like -- if
you can imagine -- what
lightning would feel like hitting your head. It was just a
horrible, excruciating pain. It
left me emotionally and
physically exhausted,'' says
Carol Lee.
ECT is theoretically used
for extremely depressed patients and only as a last resort.
But evidence shows that patients may lose some memory
or suffer brain damage.
While she was admitted to
Sacred Heart' s Johnson Unit
in Eugene, she was twice placed into solitary confinement
during bouts of irrationality.
Finally her psychiatrist, husband and she decided that
hospitalization wasn't helping
and resorted to private care.
"Then I had a period of
where I was sick for a solid

People usually didn't notice
that she was "crazy," she
says, until she was in her high
or manic moods when she
believed she could do
anything. Carol Lee's unsure
smile gives way to laughter
when Layton jokingly recalls
manic episodes when she actually thought she could fly.
Her friend Marcella Fipps
suggested that Carol Lee visit
the Lane County Mental
Health Center: "She tried
everything else ... This was the
last straw. But it was the right
one."
- In 1974, after four years of
trial and error, it was here
where Carol Lee finally
d-iscovered the cause of her
-problem.
A psychiatrist found that
her psychological · problems
were associated with a
chemical imbalance and that
use of lithium carbonate
stabilized her mood swings.
Lithium is not a cure, but
according to studies, some
bipolar disorders can be
helped by carefully monitored
doses. Carol Lee is one of the
fortunate ones who doesn't experience ill side effects.
"Colors were more vivid.
The trees were greener. Even
the birds singing sounded
more pronounced and
beautiful," she said. "It was
. like coming out of a very dark,
dismal tunnel and looking for
an end to it and finally finding
it."
Her spring of 1982 _will
signify the eighth anniversary
of promise for Carol Lee; the .
eighth year since the lithium
treatments fr eed her enough to
begin to deal with her problems on her own.
She is also in her fourth
term as a psychology major at
LCC.
"I have a real desire to help
the mentally ill and so I decid-

ed a person without an education doesn't have much of a
voice. My long range goal with
my education is to be a
counselor working with people
who
have
psychotic
disorders," she says.
Carol Lee realizes that her
goal will not be easy, as
psychology is still a pioneer
study. But her desire to to help
people outweighs the frustrations involved.
She belongs to several
groups that advocate help for
the mentally ill. She is very excited about the new organization, Oregon Alliance Advocates for the Mentally Ill or
OAAMI.
"I still feel like we're in the
dark ages," Carol Lee says.
''OAAMI members share a
common goal -- that mental illness must be brought from
the shadows into the light.''
She is quick to point out
that one study indicates that 1
out of 10 people will be
hospitalized for mental illness
at one time or another in their
lifetime.
Although Carol Lee believes
she was misdiagnosed, she
recognizes that the field of
mental health is constantly
changing. The American
Psychiatric Association, •for
instance, recently revised its
guidelines for defining mental
disorders according to symptoms.
But she says, "We need to
do more research. We need to
obtain more funds. We need
to be more understanding and
we need more help from society."
Her h usban d , Layton,
smiles at Carol Lee while he
says, "She's a lot more confident, more compassionate -for
others, more understanding
and giving. She will take the
time to stop and smell the
flowers. We both do now."

Legal Services aiding hundreds
By Leslie Lucas
for the TORCH

A record number of LCC
students are receiving the
benefits of what amounts to
an inexpensive "legal insurance program" available
"no other place in town," according to Stanley Cram, an
attorn_ey for ASLCC Legal
Services.
Cram and attorney Joseph
G. McKeever, located in room
203A of the Center Building,
offer free legal services to any
student registered for credit
classes at LCC. The service is
funded by student activity
fees.
The attorneys provide advice on any legal matter, but
Cram finds that most cases involve "self-help" -- interpreting divorce papers or
counseling students on draft
registration, for instance.
Domestic relations such as
uncontested divorces, child
support, financial and conand
problems,
s um er
landlord/tenant disputes make
up the bulk of the caseload.
But Cram finds that trends
within these categories are
shifting. The largest share of
cases used to be domestic relations, but this year financial
and consumer problems are
students' main concerns, a
change "tied to the economy"
says Cram.

But he believes voters will
support the measure: ''From a
survey, 47 percent of Lane

base.''

Lieuallen is so ms1stent
about the need for a new tax
base that he says he won't stop
until he gets one. "We're going to have a balanced budget
around here.''

County Commissioner
Harold Rutherford is opposed
to an increased tax . In a quote
from a Register-Guard article,
Rutherford said, "I wouldn't
support it. I think we need to
know as close as we can what
our financial situation is
(actually) going to be."

house include complimentary
refreshments being served in
the cafeteria from 4 p.m. to 7
p.m. amd a brief awards
ceremony at 7 p.m.
A grand tour of the campus
vocational programs and
several mini-tours that focus
on specific program areas are
also planned as part of the
evening's activities.
"For the last several years,
we've always had some kind of
event to recognize Vocational
Week,'' says Dean of lnstruc-

tion Gerald Rasmussen. ''This
year we just decided an open
house would be the best way to
recognize it.''
He noted that each individual training program will
feature many displays of work
in each department, and that

for the TORCH

In America, movies light up our landscape. Movies fill-up the
screens in our downtown shopping malls and suburban shopping
centers with pictures of ourselves. And films fill-in parts of our
world on TV night and day .
With us for 70 years, we take it for granted that we can always
see parts of our national culture on the brilliant screens. We may
not agree with or like the pictures, but until we look elsewhere
we might not understand how important and complicated
building national cinema can be.
For a long, long time, Australians didn't see themselves in
film.
Australian feature film production died out in the 1940s when
American films completely engulfed the Australian market.
Before that time, Australia had regularly produced feature
films as well as documentaries.
Filmmakers in 1899 ventured into the outback -- the vast interior
of the huge continent -- and shot a short documentary about
Aborigines. In 1899 Joseph Perry produced, for the Australian
Salvation Army, Soldiers of the Cross, believed to be the world's
first feature film, with a running time of almost an hour.
The Story of the Kelly Gang ran for more than an hour, too,
proving to be one of the first films to exceed one reel in length.
Produced in 1906, it told the story of the famous Australian
outlaw Ned Kelly.
And between 1910 and 1929 Raymond Longford (a sailor
turned actor and director) produced some of Australia's best
silent films, The Sentimental Bloke, probably being his best
known:It was filmed on location in Sydney's waterside suburb
of Woolloomooloo.
Ken G. Hall and Charles Chauvel brought talking pictures to
Australia. One Charles Chauvel production, In the Wake of the
Bounty, lit up the cinematic world with the likes of a young
Tasmanian named Errol Flynn.
But by the 40s Errol Flynn and Australia's film industry had
gone American.
It was in 1970 that the Australian government finally formed
the Australian Film Development Corporation (later to be
known as the Australian Film Commission) to rekindle the longextinguished fires of feature film production in Australia.
The commission had its work cut out. It had to begin all over,
to develop policies that would result in Australian art for
Australians.
At least, when commercial television came to Australia in
1960, the government had insisted that all commercials run on
Australian TV be produced in country. Hundreds of Australian
technicians were trained to use the best film making equipment
in the world because American companies wanted to sell their
goods via Australian television.
The technology of 35mm film production became more simple
and less costly. And it was in the Australians own hands.
Then a group of talented young people committed to filmmaking seemingly came out of nowhere. Unlike the technicians,
the new writers and directors had not had the advantages of producing TV commercials or documentaries. Before the government began providing money for filmmaking, these young people were making movies with whatever cameras and equipment
they could beg or borrow. But they had developed their skills.
•
Trained their eyes.
The technology and the artisans were present.

The New Australian Films
In the first five years of the Australian Film Commission's
financing and support, there were mild successes.
Over 100 Australian films reached audiences in the seven tries
-- several interesting films, but not "successful" films. Then in
1975, the South Australian Film Corporation, an independent
corporation that, works in cooperation with the Australian Film
Commission, gave $443,000 to young director Peter Weir to
make a film entitled Picnic at Hanging Rock. His effort was an
international success. By mid-1979, it had made $1,576, 175 ..
Besides the profit margin, Weir's film attracted world-wide
attention to the nation that produced it. Corporation representatives, film enthusiasts and filmmakers arrived, people who had
never considered Australia as afilm country, but who were now
looking for film investment projects.
Weir's film was more than a money-maker. It sparked a
revival.

National Roots
The new Australian cinema has given the Australian people a
sense of pride in themselves and their country that almost
nothing short of a space shot could have done: Although the
themes of the new Australian films vary, for the most part the
plots and settings revolved around the year 1900, the year
Australia was petitioning Great Britain for its independence.
(Independence from the British Commonwealth was granted on
Jan. l, 1901.)
There's nothing like a movie to display national pride at home
and abroad.
All six Australian states have followed the national government's example and established film commissions. Besides Picnic at Hanging Rock, two other films dealing with this period in

Government nurturing nationa
Australian history are My Brilliant Career and The Getting of
Wisdom.
In My Brilliant Car~er, a young girl from the outback
(perfectly played by Judy Davis) comes to live on a fashionable
estate run by her domineering grandmother who follows the
rules and protocol of the English. The young girl very quickly
has the ordered world turned inside-out.
The Getting of Wisdom is a more serious film about another
young girl (Sussanah Fowle), also from the outback, who goes
to a Victorian girls school where the main goal is the breaking of
spirit. As in My Brilliant Career, this attempt at "Anglo-izing"
a young Australian girl is doomed from the start.
Also set in this 1900 time period, Picnic at Hanging Rock tells
the story of the mysterious disappearance of three Australian
schoolgirls and their teacher.

Images of Strength
The theme of spiritual and physical freedom runs throughout
the film. Mrs. Appleyard, the school's headmistress, is trying to
impose a British sense of order and discipline on a group of girls
who know that just outside of the Victorian school grounds lies
their continent of poetic power.
In general, Australian films show us a people who are nothing
if not fiercely independent.
We also see a stroog, ambitious people. Even when the stories
take place in the city we are aware that the outback, with its
sheep or cattle stations, is not far away. And it is populated with
a great many blond and red-headed people -- the Irish and Scottish ancestors of many Australians -- whose speech patterns and
humor, values and sentiments are, we can assume, are present in
Australian society today.

Australian Style
The Australian directing style is straightforward: Not a lot of

rare.

But defenders of the system point out that in the sixties, when
Canada turned the financing of feature films over to the private
sector, American money was quickly running Canadian film
production. And, they point out, the films now being made in
Canada are for American audiences and not Canadian
moviegoers.
The Australian Screen Actor's Guild is insisting that restrictions be put on the importation of British and American actors
for Australian films. In fact, the international appeal of actors
like Jack Thompson, (who won a supporting actor's award at
the Cannes Film Festival for his performance in Breaker
Morant), Helen Morse (Picnic at Hanging Rock and Caddie,)
and Judy Davis (My Brilliant Career) may be what Australian
films need to keep their government financing -- these actors'
names on film will almost guarantee a respectable show at the
box office.
What Americans take for granted, Australians are rediscovering. Movies are the art form of the twentieth century. And an
important part of this art is seeing reflections of the national image blazing from the silver screen.

20-hour showing
of Aussie films
by John Mitchell
• for the TORCH

Breaker Morant, My Brilliant Career, and Picnic at Hanging Rock, all new Australian films, have played to large, appreciative audiences in Eugene's movie theaters in recent
years.
Yet most of us have a limited understanding of Australian
film art.
But to help remind us of Australia's film output -- and certainly to win more American viewers for future films -- the
Australian government has organized the Australian Film
Retrospective, a collection of over 20 hours of celuloid produced- by Australians over a 57-year span, from 1899 to 1956.
Currently playing in Los Angeles, it has already appeared
in San Francisco and will soon be in Seattle. ,And because of
the efforts of two Eugene residents, it will be shown during
the Feb. 19 weekend at Cinema 7 in Eugene.
The main spopsor of the Retrospective is the University of
Oregon. But the program's presence in Eugene can be traced
to Jack and Susan Bennett, a U of O counselor, and an LCC
film and literature instructor.
A counselor in the Academic Advising and Student Services
Office at the university, Jack came to Eugene in 1969 from
Perth, in Western Australia.
He landed in Los Angeles, traveled to Vancouver, B.C.,
but he soon applied and was accepted to study literature at the
U of 0.
In 1969 Bennett moved to Eugene. A few years later he met
and married Susan, a native Oregonian, also a student of
literature -- and of film.
In 1980, LCC sent Susan Bennett to the 1980 San Francisco
Film Festival.
A year went by.
Then a second link was added. The San Francisco Film
Festival sent Susan its 1981 schedule. Susan didn't attend, but
noticed that the Retrospective was one of the features on the
program.
Later in 1981, L. Jarrard Sellers, the Australian consul in
San Francisco, came to Eugene to look into the possibility of
the Australian government partially funding an Australian
Studies program at the U of 0.
Since Jack Bennett's field of interest at the U of O was
Comparative Australian and American Literature, he became
deeply involved in arranging Consul Sellers' trip.
The links started turning into a real chain after that.
Susan called Brian Peck, the cultural attache in the San
Francisco consulate. He said the Retrospective was going to
LA after its San Francisco run.
In November 1981, Susan flew to San Francisco to meet
and talk personally with Peck. True, he was interested in
Eugene; but was worried that a booking here might interfere
with possible bookings in bigger cities. Still, in early
December, Peck called the Bennetts and agreed that Eugene
could have the Retrospective for the month of February 1982.
Jack and Susan had convinced him that no other city on the
West Coast had shown more interest in Australian films than
Eugene. In addition to the large numbers of Australian
students here, the Bennetts pointed to the box office success
of contemporary Australian films in Eugene's movie theaters.
"Americans are interested in Australia," says Jack. "It's a
country I think Americans share a common heritage and a
common ... frontier experience with."
When asked why Americans should be interested in the
development of Australian film, Jack says "It seems like a
fascinating thing, to look at a film industry begin and
develop ....
"It's the same sort of energy that happened in the United
States in the twenties and thirties. "It's ... a time of great anxiety about a national definition. People were asking 'What's
an American?' I think Australians are asking 'What's an
.
Australian?'''
Australians were careful to leave out such films as The Sundowners and Walkabout because they were American or
British films made in Australia.
Some of the films included are The Melbourne Cup Race, a
documentary of the running of the 1899 horse race; 40,000
Horsemen, a 1940 film about Australian troops fighting in
the Middle East during World War I; and Jedda, a 1953 film
about an Aborigine boy who is adopted by a white family.
Recent Australian films aren't included. But if you're a fan
of new Australian films, then the Retrospective is a must.
A local theatre, Cinema 7, will show the 20 hour Retrospective on the Feb. 19 weekend.

• Eugene loses another rock
club! The Place has apparently
changed its format and is now
offering exclusively country
and country-rock circuit
bands. Last weekend, the closing rock sets at the Place
featured Los Xplorers and the
Others. Many of the area's
most popular bands such as
Johnny and the Distractions,
Robert Cray, Gregg Tripp,
Seafood
Mama
(now
Quarterflash,) Sneakers,
Mithrandir, etc., have played
there countless times. The
Place has also presented concert appearances by artists like
Pat Travers, Elvin Bishop,
Diz z y Gillespie, Larry
Raspberry, Maria Muldaur,
David Bromberg, and dozens

of others. For rock fans,
O'Callahan's and B.J .Kelly's
are now the only clubs offering rock music six nights a
week, with Duffy's, Old
Taylor's and a few others on
weekends.

• Johnny and the Distractions first album on A & M
Records, Let It Rock, has been
released and is now in the local
stores. The album features
four cuts previously released
on the band's first, privately
produced LP.
• Don La tarski 's first

group, and has been delayed

He left the Sneakers last
year just after the release of
their first album. Now,
following extended visits to
familiarize himself with the
LA and Portland rock scenes,
Cletis Carr has returned to
Eugene and . begun playing
locally in a four piece group
called, not too surprisingly,
the Cletis Carr Band.
Carr says the band will play
clubs from Eugene to Portland
for the next few months, then
try to break into the LA circuit
later this year. The plan of attack is to cut some demos
locally and try to generate
label interest. For now, Carr is
handling most of the booking
and ma nagement for the
group, but says he will try to
find outside management
when "we start negotiating a
contract."
With the Sneakers, Carr was
primarily a keyboardist, play- .
ing a little rhythm guitar and
some bass, and carrying few,
if any, lead vocals. While not
completely comfortable as a
front man, he attacks his new
role with total confidence, if
not cockiness.
'' I prefer to think of myself
as a performer and a writer,"
he says, "rather than a musician . .. right now I'm just into
having fun."
Besides Carr, the band consists of Doug Heer (drums and
backing vocals), Debbie Smith
(bass and backing vocals) and
Kevin ''Jet'' Harris ' (lead
guitar, backing and occasional
lead vocals).
Carr and Smith began formulating and planning the
band about six months ago
when Carr first returned from
LA and Smith was doing
casual roadwork with various

touring bands. They found
Heer late last year, and the
Cletis Carr Band made its
debut this new Years Eve at
the Place, opening the show
for Los Xplorers.
Harris, the newest member
of the group, joined in midJanuary after a long stint as
lead singer and guitarist with
the Silvertones, a popular
band in the Portland area.
He says he doesn't really
consider himself a lead
guitarist. "I just play guitar,
sing some songs and jump
around a lot. . .I'm the king of
'garbage guitar."'
Smith is a steady, solid
bassist (Carr calls her ''my
secret weapon''), and with
Heer, forms a tight danceable
rhythm section for Carr and
Heer to work around.
Carr describes the band's
sound as a hybrid of the good
time, intense energy of early
50s rock and roll, along the
lines of Chuck Berry or

Johnny Burnette; 60s rhythm

SPORTS

lntramurals provide athletes with competition
by Connie Boggs
of the TORCH

Looking for a place to hone
those skills learned in beginning basketball and intermediate badminton?
Look no more. LCC's
athletic department offers
students and staff members
the opportunity to put sports
skills and talent to use through
its intramurals program.
Intramural activities are a
schedule of individual and
team sports leading to school
championships and good,
clean fun. They take place on
campus under the supervision
of the Intramurals Coordinator.
The intramurals activities
include badminton, basketball, flag football, fun runs,
softball, soccer, tennis, table
tennis, volleyball and
weightlifting.
Intramural activities are
organized by students.
Students interested in getting a
new activity together talk to
Allara to see if it is possible.
Allara then considers the cost

the city league and junior high
games.
LCC recently expanded the
intramurals program by offering extramural activites. Extramural activities were started
last year and offer competition
between colleges. '' It is not as
high-powered as intercollegiate leagues, but it lets
students take their skills and
talents off-campus," explain-

Troy Windom (Fr, Springfield) set a new LCC record
by pinning an Oregon Institute
of Technology wrestler in fifteen seconds at the Pacific
University tournament Jan.
30.
"I felt good because I got
pinned earlier in the day,''
said Windom. "It felt good to
wrestle a good match."
''Troy is one of the hardest
training athletes on the team,"
said coach Pete Helzer.

performance of the season
against Central. Dawn
Bredesen and Dena Allen each
contributed four of the team's
25 assists, while teammate
Lora Nelson (Fr, Springfield)
pulled down ten rebounds.
The Titans narrowly outrebounded the Bobcats 62-57.
Allen was high scorer with 14
points.

Sports officiating classes
provide officials for intramural contests. ''Good officials help create a good learning experience for both the
athletes and officials," says
Allara. Some of the student

Association of Officials for

ed Allera.
The extramural program
provides talented athletes with
the opportunity to compete
and perform in a variety of activities relating to sports and
dance. Extramural clubs must
be recognized by the Office of
Student Activities and meet
certain qualifications. •
A major factor for consideration as an extramural
club is skill proficiency. The
skill level for a club must be
above the instructional and intramural level.
Club sport competition is
separate from intercollegiate
athletics and LCC intramurals. Club sports participants compete with other
community colleges, selfsupporting clubs and recreational groups in local city
leagues.
The dub activities at LCC
are divided into major and
minor club activities. The major club activities consist of
co-ed volleyball, men's and
women's volleyball and the
Lane Dance Theatre. Minor

club activites include badminton, weight-lifting, bowling
and men's soccer.
The entire intramurals program runs on a $1,000
operating budget, supplemented by a $1 intramurals
fee which pays for equipment
replacement and officials.
Some extramural clubs pad
their incomes with fundraising activities and Allara
says all clubs are encouraged
to raise their own revenue.
In addition to regularly
scheduled programs, intramurals offers drop-in activities and special events.
Twice per term, intramurals
sponsors powerlifting and Fun
Run competition for both men
and women. Allara expects the
trend toward women's
powerlifting events to continue this term.
The first power-lift competition is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 24, with weigh-in at
2:30 p.m_. The second competition will be held Wednesday,
March 10, also at 2:30. The
next Fun Run will be held Friday, Feb. 19 at noon.

His first season started off
as it had in past seasons, the
Titans suffering loss after loss.
But suddenly Helzers'
coaching began to show
dividends. Last season's

At first glance, they might
look just a little odd, Peter
Helzer, the 5'6" Lane wrestling coach, standing next to his
6' l ", 200 pound assistant,
Ralph Swanson.
"I might not look it, but
I'm a lot tougher," Helzer
warns a reporter.
But if this pair strikes you as
funny, the job they've done is
even more strange. In the
season and a half since Helzer
was given control of the Titan
wrestling program, it has gone
from OCCAA dog house
dweller to championship contender with its 4-1 dual meet
record thi-s season.
Helzer inherited a program
two years ago that had only
seven wrestlers. But things
didn't stay that way very long.

Helzer sees Strain grabbing at

be hard to overlook the talents
of Strain. But 177 pound
freshman Bill Johnson
(Springfield High School)
might make him look twice.
Helzer's top recruit has stopped 13 opponents so far this
season, all in a very physical
style.
If the Titan coach has a concern, it's that Johnson 'shares
his weight class with the nation's top junior-college
wrestler, Roger Sayles from

Mt. Hood. Johnson has
already lost a superior decision
to Sayles this season. Helzer
notes that Johnson has now
collected more experience, including a win over the University of Oregon's 177-pounder
and a hard-fought tie with a
tough Southern Oregon State
College opponent.
But then,_adds Helzer, close
competition is the trait of collegiate wrestling. For example,
the 158-pound weight class
boasts two Titans, Zane Kesey
and Joe Falkowski, with shots
at the league finals. '·'They
could both end up in the
finals,'' says Helzer
But alas, problems do exist.
The possible key to a run at
the league title is walking
somewhere around the Lane
campus. The Titans have
foreited six points in each of
their dual meets this season
because they don't have a
118-pounder.
"If we had someone there,
we could be in the top three in
the league without a doubt,''
says Helzer. "That weight
class is not very strong around
the league this year and if we
could get anybody, I'm sure
they'd at least place, even win
it."
If he can't get anyone soon,
Helzer will recruit someone
for next season. Then Mt.
Hood and the rest of the OCCAA will find Lane even
harder to pin down.

Whoops!

The TORCH and the
Athletics Department crossed
wires last week. The result was
a photo of Dena Allen identified as Dawn Bredesen, the
Athlete of the Week.
Both members of the
women's basketball team had
outstanding performances two
weeks ago. Allen and Bredesen
led all scorers with 31 and 33
points respectively in a
weekend that saw the Titans
defeat Mt. Hood Community
College and lose to Blue
Mountain Community College.
A mix-up in photo
assignments, a misunderstanding in the selection process and
confusion in general led to the
incorrect identification.
The photos at left correctly
identify the two women.
