'Absurd' ADC regs may affe~
by Larry Swanson
of the TORCH

"Criminal, " "absurd"
and "punitive" were a few
of the words used at an
April 7 meeting at LCC to
describe changes in welfare
programs that could force
500 LCC students out of
school.

less than three years old to
provide full-time care for
their children.

The Jobs program is
designed to get people off

the job market. But Fawver
and other audience

And Roberta Lindbergh,
a Lane County Legal Services representative, said recent funding cuts and the
new interpretations of
regulations have some Jobs
workers ''working to cut
off benefits."

About 100 people attended the meeting held in the
Forum Building.

Another
member said her eight-year~ ;
old child ''is on the streets~}
while she job hunts and said
of the Reagan administra• t_ion, "We are up against
people who don't care
about children."

She urged Jobs program
participants to expose such
workers and to be aware
that the agency "is extremely interested in cutting costs
in ADC programs."

Recent reinterpretations
of two Aid to Dependent
Children (ADC) regulations
could force as many as 500
students out of LCC and
"into a job market that just
isn't there," said Bettijean
Fawver, who organized the
meeting.

State Rep. Margie Hendriksen, D-Eugene, called
the regulations "punitive"
and said they show an
"unenlightened attitude
toward people in need."

audience
Several
members documented flaws
in the Jobs program.

Ironically, the state
employment office -- the
one group that could most
help students forced into
the job market -- couldn't
send a representative to the
meeting. ''They have been
cut back so badly they
couldn't even spare one person today,'' said Fawver.
Government regulations

children three years and
older to register for the

unemployment.

in need" said Rep. Margie Hendriksen April 7

she

Fawver
registered for the Jobs program and was allowed to
stay in school. But her Jobs
counselor told her she
would have to take a career
planning course to continue
receiving ADC benefits.
Fawver says such a course
"is a waste of my time and
theirs" since she decided on
accounting as her major
over a year ago.

Ratepayer revolt
To The Editor:

The WPPSS financial
disaster will cripple Oregon's
economy for decades unless
we act now to deflect the unfair nuclear debt away from
Oregon. The ratepayers' revolt
has just begun and our electric
rates have just begun to rise.
As a Democratic candidate
for Governor, I have identified three steps we must take
to correct this rapidly
deteriorating situation:
1) We must form new
municipal utilities and People's Utility Districts and shed
these bad nuclear debts. This
action would leave the
liabilities with the utilities that

made the investments and not
with Oregon's innocent
ratepayers.
2) We must implement Article
XI-D of Oregon's Constitution and develop Oregon's
abundant renewable energy
potential under the direction
of the three-member elected
commission authorized by the
constitution.
3) We must work to repeal the
Northwest Power Act of 1980.
Allowing a giant federal
bureaucracy to control
development of a decentralized power system based on
small renewable energy
sources is contradictory.
I have worked for these programs in the past and now they
are of the highest priority to us
all. I urge all Oregonians to
begin taking these three steps.
The economic stability of
Oregon depends on our actions.
Gerald H. Rust, Jr.
Democratic candidate for
Governor

Ballot must pass
To The Editor

Shall the voters of Lane
County authorize an increase
in the county's property tax
base, from $4.1 million to
$14.1 million?
This is by far the most important question on the May
18 election ballot.
Defeat of this new tax base
would mean the devastation of
every government program
that offers us any hope of progress.

Government assistance to
the sick, the weak, and the
poor will be slashed. Efforts to
protect environmental values,
upon which our survival
ultimately depends, will be cut
back or eliminated. Human
rights and civil liberties will
come under increasing attack
as government sheds it's
human face.

Opportunities for important
government reform and for
the meaningful assertion of
the public interest in the county's economic development
will be lost.
One of the other candidates
for East Lane County Commissioner said recently that
what we need now is '' new
leadership." I couldn't agree
more.
He then went on to assert
that there really were no issues in this campaign (and that
therefore he would take no
positions on any of them.)
One such non-issue he identified was the proposed new
tax base.
As an illu.stration, I suppose, of how serious our crisis
in leadership really is, he took
the non-position that he
himself would ''probably''
vote against it.
Shall Lane County increase
its property tax base from $4.1
million to $14.1 million?
, I believe it is a very vital
issue.
I will vote YES.
If you care about Lane
County's future, please join
me.

LONDON -- British Defense Secretary John Nott announced to the House of Commons April 7 that a
200-mile war zone will be placed around the Falkland
Islands beginning April 12.
Nott's announcement came in the wake of last week's
Argentinian takeover of the cluster of South Atlantic
islands. Many countries worldwide -- among them Mexico and Brazil -- ttave supported a withdrawal of Argentine troops from the area.
Nott said that as of 10 p.m. Sunday, EST, any Argentine ships within the zone "will be treated as hostile and
are liable to be attacked by British forces.''
Casino commission nixes Hefner

NEW JERSEY -- The New Jersey Casino Control Commission has told Hugh Hefner to cash in his chips.
The Playboy Enterprises chairman needed support
from four of the five commission members to obtain a
license for a new Atlantic City casino/hotel, but only
three votes were cast in favor of the men's magazine
magnate.
The commission is apparently willing to give Playboy
a license if Hefner disassociates himself from the company. That's easier said than done, since Hefner owns
two-thirds of Playboy's stock.
Company officials say they're working on a proposal
to resolve the problem, which they will present to the
commission when it convenes on April 13.
Physicians unite in anti-nuke statement

LONDON -- Prominent doctors from 31 countries say
there's no "effective medical response" to a nuclear
catastrophe.
Meeting in London April 7, the physicians concurred
that in the event of a nuclear holocaust, no known
medical methods could adequately respond to the needs
of the world's billions.
The doctors also sent letters to Pres. Reagan and
Soviet president Leonid Brezhnev, urging them to cease
production, testing and deployment of nuclear
weapons.
Winter weather whacks Midwest, South

MIDWEST -- The coldest April freeze on record nipped
the buds of spring flowers across the Midwest and deep
into the South this week, causing temperatures to dip
below zero in parts of Minnesota, Michigan and most of
the eastern half of the nation.
Meanwhile, a new snowstorm was reported to be forming in the path of a blizzard which killed 37 people and
left eight missing earlier this week. The National
Weather Service reported that the severity of the second
storm is unknown.

James and Karen, and
James' young son Ocean, are
caretakers of 300 acres, earning the use of a small, nearly
60-year old house near Fern
Ridge. For a couple of months they had to wash their
dishes in a nearby spring
because the water pump broke
down .
It's a different college experience now for James: Last
year he was living "a life of
fun, fun, fun all of the time,
and then I finally wore it out."
His grades suffered and he lost
his financial aid.
Realizing his need to stay in
school, he took a class under
his own financing to prove his
sincerity. This term he's back
full time, with full financial
aid, but the winter has been
rough with the need for long
hours to maintain the house
and property.
And "It's a challenge to
keep the relationship growing
and to keep Ocean growing,' '
says James. But he says LCC
gives his life direction he
didn't have before. And rather
than the convenience of town,
he prefers sharing the
beautiful, subtle excitement of
Fern Ridge with Ocean.

Dealing with mental illness
Feature

by Susan Crosman

of the TORCH
Panic often gripped
Elizabeth Hoopla's mind.
Fear and fatigue forced her to
retreat into a world where she
did not have to cope.
To gain more control in her
life, Hoopla enrolled at LCC.
She often didn't know who or
where she was, but managed
to ride her bicycle to the bus
stop every morning enroute to
LCC.
"It was frightening every
day, but every day I made it,"
Hoopla says. "And I just took
my days one at a time.''
Hoopla's enrollment at
LCC was one of many steps to
recovery -- a recovery from
years of being forced to deal
with the day-to-day stresses of
her immediate environment.
She decided that by immersing
herself into the affairs of being
a student, she could help route
her mental illness.

convent, isolated from the
outside world. As an adult she
managed a dress shop in Lon- ·
don. But she, her husband and
newly born son moved to the
United States. She divorced,
married again, and eventually
moved to Veneta, Ore.
''I was very,
very
disoriented -- out of touch
with reality. And then I had a
tremendous amount of depression and a tremendous amount
of anxiety. And you put those
three things together and
you've got a tremendous problem,'' she says of her mental
state while counseling with the
Johnson Unit staff.
Following three months of
in-and-out treatments from
the Johnson Unit and four
years of private therapy with
continual support from family
.and friends, Hoopla is able to
function again.
But she hasn't yet received
a diagnosis for her problem
because of its complications.

diagnose a patient.
Carol Lee Fletcher, a
former mental patient, was
diagnosed in 1970 as a
paranoid schizophrenic
(characterized by ~hought
disorders, disturbances in
motm activity, inappropriate
emotional responses and impairment of daily routine
functioning) and carried the
label for four years.

Treatment seemed to
worsen her condition. When
re-diagnosed as a manicdepressive (characterized by
extreme high and low mood
swings) she was treated effectively with lithium carbonate,
an element taken in salt form.
"If you see a manicdepressive first in a psychotic
state (out of touch with reality), you can't be certain
whether he's manic-depressive
or schizophrenic," says Norma Ragsdale, psychotherapist
at the Lane County Mental
Health Division.

toms, history of the patient
and of the treatment -- determine what drugs will work
best for an individual patient.
But Ragsdale explains that
one of the primary problems
with therapeutic drugs is that
each individual responds differently.

"He (the psychiatrist) was
trying to give me a series of
medications. I felt kind of like
a guinea pig. None of them
helped at all. I'm sure that
some of them made me worse.
In fact I know they did,'' says
Fletcher. And as a result of her
worsened
condition,
psychiatrists resorted to·
electro-shock.
Mental health professionals
concur that the use of electroshock has declined over the
years but is still used in
specific circumstances.
Fletcher received a series of
shock treatments and she
believes that repeated use
caused some memory loss. She

re-learning process. A whole
process of getting yourself
back to functioning as a
human being.''
Ragsdale explains that in
learning more about the
chemistry of the brain, professionals can examine the differences in how a normal and
abnormal brain functions,
''But how to change those
back to what we might consider a more normal pattern,
we don't know ...
"We're learning an awful
lot more about how the brain
functions. We've got a lot
more to learn but we certainly
know a good deal more than
we did 10 or 20 years ago,"
says Ragsdale.
Theorists postulate that environmental, genetic and/ or
biochemical factors are involved in the causation of mental
illness.
Ragsdale asserts that factors
such as stress are beginning to
play a more important role

What do you see
in this Rorschach
ink blot?
Her gambit has paid off,
but not without a four-year
battle with professional mental health treatment.
Much has been learned
about detecting mental
disorders, but many holes exist
in the practice of diagnosis
and even less is known about
how to cure the patient.
Hoopla's illness wasn't
detected until after she was admitted to Sacred Heart
Hospital for a back injury.
When the s~verity of her emotional problems was recognized by physicians there, she was
transferred to the Johnson
Unit.
"After so many things happen to you and all of a sudden
-- the thing that you tllink
about to yourself is 'What
more can I cope with?' and
then your back gives out on
you and that's it. You just give
up," she explains'.
"Indirectly, every little
thing had its stepping stone to
the climax,'' recalls Hoopla of
childhood problems too sensitive to disclose and of other
stress-related
events
throughout her life.
Hoopla was born in
England. She was raised in a

Diagnosis is one of the
many controversial issues that
depict the mental health profession. Most diagnoses result
by use of "a medical model"
of mental illness. At the turn
of the century, psychiatric
practitioners hoped to treat
mental illness in the same
manner as a physical illness -diagnose, treat and return to
society.
The eventual recognition
that mental illness is unlike
other illnesses suggested that a
different procedure be taken.
But the medical model remains
a prominent method of
treating mental illness.
Diagnosis using DSM, the
Diagnostical and Statistical
Manual prepared by the
American Psychiatric Association, is one means of assessing
mental disorders. However,
the question of its reliability
remains.
But DSM-III, the third and
most recent edition, includes
many changes that may improve on past diagnostical
problems.
The similarity of symptoms
for various forms of mental
disorder is one of the major
problems in the attempt to

In the past, schizophrenia
was a broad term which in 1952
accounted for as many as 80
percent of hospitalized mental
patients.
'' Part of that is because in
the past, we tended to use
schizophrenia as a catch-all
term. Any tlme anybody was
psychotic,
they
were
schizophrenic: And we attached that label and it carried on
with them whether they were
psychotic at the moment or
not," says Ragsdale.
"Now you can have a brief
psychotic episode in the context of another disorder; it
doesn't necessarily get you
labeled
schizophrenic
anymore.''
However, schizophrenia still
remains one of the most
serious and common forms of
psychotic behavior, accounting for 50 percent of the
hospitalized population.
Therapeutic
drugs,
psychotherapy and sometimes
electro-shock are methods of
treatment. All methods,
however, involve some degree
of controversy.
Ragsdale says indicators -physiology, behavioral symp-

views electro-shock as a total
violation.
''It used to be that people
were shocked over and over
and over again,'' adds
Ragsdale. "And in some
cases, some brain damage occurred. I think it's used much
more cautiously and judiciously now."
She notes that ''the advent
of some of our medications,
some of which are quite recent, has really helped a lot"
in reducing such treatments as
electro-shock.
Although
different
psychotherapy approaches exist, Ragsdale explains that
each seeks to help the patient
reach a higher functioning
level.
And
most
psychotherapists are trained
with a diversity of approaches.
Hoopla was released after
three months from the
Johnson Unit. But she still
could not function. For
Hoopla, the road to recovery
was a long process of relearning.

survive it all,'' she says.
"From almost not surviving,

"but how important we don't
know."
Fletcher believes that her
disorder was caused by a
genetic predispostion coupled
with stress which triggered a
chemical imbalance. And
Hoopla claims that stress took
its toll.
But both of these women
say that their improvement
could not have been possible
without a circle of support
from family, friends, community services and their
Christian faith. And they
stress that they are physically,
spiritually and emotionally
stronger than ever before.
"I believe we can either
allow a calamity to build us up
or tear us down," says Fletcher.

It would be wrong to say that President Ronald Reagan did not inherit a
bundle of problems.
Democratic administrations and
congresses, which have essentially held
the reigns of government for the last 40
years, are guilty of mismanagement of
many of the programs that Reagan
wants to cut.
Budgets of pet programs grew too
fat and bureaucracies grew too
cumbersome to be accountable or
justifi able.
Fraud has been committed not only
by a few recipients of the benefits of
these programs but also by some administrators.
But, the most foolhardy crime of the
Democrats has been their practice of
ignoring the increasing burden of the
middle class.
Rather than streamline their programs, Democrats chose instead to
pass on the rising costs to the middle
class. They also allowed tax brackets to
creep dangerously as a means of absorbing inflation.
Members of this class are rightfully
angry about carrying the brunt of the
federal government's price tag. The
rich escape their taxes and the middle
class picks up the tab for those unable
to pay their way.
The property tax revolts in California's Proposition 13 and in Oregon's
Ballot Measure Numbers 6 and 11
several years ago reflect the bitterness
of the middle class.
But these tax revolts are primarily
valuable as indicators of an injustice
and are not good solutions. What's
worse, is that the middle class becomes
prime fodder for those able and willing
to exploit their anger.
Enter, Ronald Reagan.

Reagan's 1950s fantasies
Ronald Reagan designed his new
economic recovery program ostensibly
"to get government off the backs of
the people."
But he is over reacting with policies
that strengthen Big Business at the expense of "the people," and policies
that shift more wealth and control into
the pockets of a few.
Ronald Reagan's policies are a
throwback to the 1950s before the Civil
Rights Act existed, before the entitlement programs were in full gear,
before the Environmental Protection
Agency, the Department of Energy,
and the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration were entrusted
with consumer and worker protection.
Yes, even before the Community
Services Administration began its
"War On Poverty," and before Action
began its VISTA and Peace Corps programs.
The Fifties was a time of plenty -- for
business -- and Reagan wants to return
to those days when he was spoon
feeding America with frontier justice
on Death Valley Days and extolling
General Electric's virtues to the
American public.

David Osborne writing for Mother
Jones magazine says the real danger of
Reagan's new thrust is not in budget
cuts. And it isn't in the rollback of
nearly $749 billion in taxes over the
next five years -- although this
devastating loss in revenue will pass on
44 percent of its benefits to only 4 percent of the population.
These actions are covering up the
real insidious danger. High interest
rates go down. Recessions end. Taxes
can be increased.
But it is Reagan's wholesale destruction of social service programs that
have been carefully constructed over
the past 30 years that Americans will
long lament.
Reagan is not making any real attempt to cut the fat out of department
budgets. He is, instead, cutting deep
into the muscle of programs that he
does not like. He is less involved with
balancing the budget than he is with
bludgeoning to death liberal programs
that he and big businesses don't like.
As much as we may like to be fair,
we can not afford to give Reagan a
chance. By the time he leaves office, it
will be, in some cases, too late and, in
all cases, costly to recover.

The 'true believer' rides again

Presidential scholar Thomas E.
Cronin says, '' A lack of curiosity
marks this President more than any
other I've seen." He says the Reagan
"legacy in retrospect will be viewed as
simple, unwilling to make distinctions." And he adds that Reagan has a
"simpler mission" and has a "true
believer'' mentality.
Reagan's popularity stems from his
stage-performance
supreme
capabilities. Be appears friendly. And
his "true believer" stance creates the illusion that he is taking us somewhere
we need to go.
But Reagan's economic recovery
program is fueled by more than archaic
philosophy. It represents a shrewd
• political strategy . .
What better way to hamstring
Democratic congressional leaders than
by, first,. creating huge deficits by rolling back personal income taxes and
then by, second, dumping the mess in
their laps. Osborne of Mother Jones
says Congress is left with three choices:
• Acquiesce to Reagan's plans.
• Resist his plans and risk blame for
continued deficits.
• Raise taxes and risk loss of elections.
It is as though the huge deficits are
engineered. The campaign promise
that the deficit would be only $68
billion through 1983 with a $500
million surplus in 1984 has now been
supplanted with estimates of $100
billion per year deficits. And I predict
that the deficit will actually exceed
$160 billion for this year alone.
Reagan counts smugly on what he
calls his "support back home with the
people.'' He is prepared to argue his
case among his constituents. And he
may be successful.
Hiding behind supply-side economics
The first round of cuts has not yet
affected the average voter. The poor
have been hard hit. And the rich have
been enhanced. But the cream of voters
-- the middle class -- is caught in a
master weaver's web of illusion.
They have been led to believe that
reduced spending or hacked govern-

''

ment programs, rolled-back taxes and
increased' ~ilitary spending will resolve
the nastyr burden placed on their
•
shoulders. \
Supplyiside economics is · a ruse.
Budget Pirector David Stockman said
in his famous Atlantic Monthly interview, "It's kind of hard to sell
'trickle-down,' so the supply-side formula was \the only way to get a tax
policy that was really 'trickle-down.' "
The trickle-down theory is not new.
The idea that wealthy consumption
and wealthy investment will trickle
down to benefit the poor has been with
us for probably as long as capitalism.
With this system the only benefits
(more like crumbs) available have to
trickle down to the poor or the poor
won't get any. Yet the wealthy simply
will not pick up the costs of social programs previously funded by the federal
government.
Survey results reported by the San
Francisco Examiner said that it would
take 25 percent of all US corporate
profits to fill the gap left by Reagan's
budget cuts.
Of the 400 corporations surveyed,
only 6 percent had intentions to increase their philanthropic budgets in
response to the cuts. But they indicated
that none of the money would benefit
social programs.
"Businessmen don't want to be put
in the position of making social decisions," the survey said.

The list goes on, ad nauseam.
The federal government's efforts to
treamline its own budget pushes the
urden and responsibility for mainaining vital social programs onto the
states, counties and cities.
These lesser jurisdictions are forced
o scrap the programs, to cut them
everely or to raise their taxes.
But not without protest.
Gov. Richard Shelling of Vermont,
hair of the National Governors
ssociation, said, "-... we could have a
streamlined federal government and 25
tates that were strong and 25 that were
eak."

More- Love Canals?
,1.

In addition, the administration is
depleting, drastically, enforcement
agents and is eliminating the research
money used to detect and resolve problems as they arise.
The Wall Street Journal reported
how Reagan is accomplishing these
goals: "(Reagan) is naming regulators
who by virtue of attitude or inexperience are more likely to be
nonregulators. ''
Department heads for agencies
Reagan dislikes are given the task to
dismantle or weaken their agencies.
David Osborne says Interior
Secretary James Watt closed 40 percent
of the offices regulating strip mining.
Occupational Safety and Health Adminis tr a ti on secretary. Thorne
Auchter, cut his inspectors from 1,697
to 1,200 with a target of 1,000. And the
National Institute for Occupational

Safety and Health lost half of its staff.
And the behavior of multinational
corporations has not changed overnight. Their track record shows that
without regulation, we will witness
many more Love Canals; Three Mile
Islands; unsafe cars and other consumer products; dangerous work
places; cancerous chemicals in our air,
water, soil, medicine and food; and
decimated mountains, wilderness areas
and ocean floors in search of
speculative profits.
Anne Gorsuch's nonregulatory actions as head of the EPA illustrate
Reagan's tactiq clearly. She plans to
cut the present budget of $1.4 billion to
$975 million in fiscal 1983 and to $700
million in 1984. This will result in a
reduction of employees from 11,000 to
6,000.
"Good fiscal management?" we
might ask. No. Rather than eli~inate
the deadwood, she is cutting the most
vital ranks: 25 percent of the waterenforcement agents, 36 percent out of
the air-quality enforcers, 70 of the 90
enforcement lawyers.
Paul Goldberg writing for the
Washington Monthly says that
although 80 percent of the nation's
chemical wastes are being dumped illegally, Gorsuch has suspended regulations designed to help contractors build
secure landfills.
: And, "Perhaps worse, Gorsuch
plans to stop spending money on the
most pressing environmental menace
of them all -- cleanup of abandoned
toxic waste dumps like Love Canal,
Hollywood, and others."
1
Congress didn't know exactly how
much it would cost to survey and to
cleanup the more than 30,000 hazardous waste sites nationwide. It alloted
in its "Superfund" legislation a total
of $1.6 billion.
\To guarantee that any surplus
money would be returned to the federal
government and to signal the suctessful completion of the task, Congr:~s included a clause which Gorcuch
is- r :11ow manipulating to weaken the
p~oject.
( The clause states if more than $500
ni~lion is returned to the US Treasury,
tqfql funding for the project will cease.
lftiis year $396 million of the $1.6
b~Uion will be available to tax chemical
manufacturers for toxic cleanups. But
Gprsuch only plans - to spend $176
m)llion of it. Without adequate cause,
she will send the rest ·to the Treasury.
Wild corporate mergers and
keeping up with the Brezhnevs

Reaganomics and the deregulation
of Big Business has also encouraged
the recent wild mergers of major industries. These types of mergers occur
during times when the economy is
depressed because the larger companies
with the greater lines of credit can
force weaker competitors into
vulnerable positions.
.Unfortunately, the mergers are
highly inflationary because billions of
dollars of available credit is taken out
of circulation for long periods. New
jobs are rarely created. In fact, many
are lost to this process of consolidation
versus expansion.
Speaking of interest, the federal
government paid out $31.4 billion in
interest during the first three months of
the current fiscal year (Oct. through
Dec.) compared with $14.8 billion for
the same period one year earlier. The
rate of borrowing is the highest ever
recorded.

The US government corners a vast
chunk of all available credit. This
monopoly on credit is, perhaps, the
largest contributor to the high inflation
and huge deficits.
And contrary to administration
edicts, military spending -- particularly
on high-technology, super-expensive
weaponry -- is the prime reason for the
government's increased appetite for
credit.
The original estimate of $1.6 trillion
for military expenditures over the next
five years, says Washington Post columnist William Raspberry, has changed to $2.25 trillion.
And an article in the Eugene
Register-Guard, March 20, revealed
conclusively that Pentagon officials are
dramatically understating the actual
price tag of keeping up with the
Brezhnevs.
A Pentagon report covering expenses as of fiscal 1981, revealed costs
for weapon systems already approved
will run an additional $114.5 billion.
That's right -- $114 billion beyond the
amount taxpayers thought they would
have to pay.
While it is true that a few of the projected costs extend for a period of 13
years, $96.6 billion of the updated
estimates are for increased numbers of
weapons Reagan has ordered.
The entire costs for the Medicare,
Medicaid and Food Stamp programs,
by way of comparison, equals a paltry
$35 billion.
That new military expense tacked
onto the bloated $100 billion to $160
billion budget deficit for 1982, could
bring the deficit to at least $214 billion
without including any future military
allocations.
Even Budget Director Stockman
warns the administration with:
'' Defense is setting itself up for a big
fall. . .If the Pentagon isn't careful
they are going to turn (their greed) into
a priorities debate in an electibn year.''
We may need a build up of conventional weapons systems. But we don't
need a build up of systems so overly expensive and overly capable of killing
that they must surely be design~. with
defense industry profits in minch
"Priorities debate," indeed.
• Reagan's shift to an inflationary
build up of the military and cteregulation of industry will throttle this nation
for decades to come.
Reagan's policies are blocking access ,
for the poorer among us to the institutions designed to provide our basic
needs and to prepare us for a better
future.
Ironically, in the process, he is
destroying the American dream of upward mobility while hiding behind
euphemisms such as "economic
freedom" and "free enterprise."
·inflation may be lowered a few
percentage points, but small businesses
will be wiped out and the economy will
be decimated.
It's a bad trade for most Americans.
Sound, regulated business practices
must be attuned to policies that
guarantee social services, renewable
natural resources, and long-term production.
These practices are our only hope for
a quality standard of living and a stable
economy.
Economist Hazel Henderson says,
"What we actually have today is
welfare for the Fortune 500. If we
could get them off the public's back,
we could probably balance the
budget."

Stan Boyd and Rebecca Proctor.

The Miracle Worker, the
story of Annie Sullivan's fight
to help Helen Keller communicate in a world she could
not see or hear, opens April 15
at the LCC Theatre.

Lorang has appeared in
several LCC and ORT productions, and Proctor was recently seen as Laura Wingfield in
The Glass Menagerie at ORT.
Stan Boyd, a veteran of local
theatre, played in the VL T
production of The Gin
Game last fall

William Gibson's play tells
the spine-tingling story of
Sullivan's first two weeks with
Keller, a six-year-old whose
physical and emotional barriers often made her behavior
more animal than human.

Kendra Sackett, who is ten
years old, has been studying
drama in her reading group at
Edgewood School, and had a
part in a church musical last
year. Director Elberson finds
Kendra '' amazing and
delightful, a joy to work
with."

With unrelenting firmness,
Annie takes charge of Helen's
education and, after a fierce
struggle, breaks through the
child's communication barrier
-- working a "miracle" of the
human spirit that released
Helen from a living death.
Originally written for television, The Miracle Worker was
so presented, to wide acclaim,
in 1957. Two years later, rewritten for the live stage, the
drama ' opened on Broadway
with Anne Bancroft as Annie
Sullivan and Patty Duke as
Helen.

In this scene from The Miracle Worker, Annie (Terri Lorang) teaches Helen (Kendra
Sackett) the meaning of the word W-A-T-E-R. Annie Sullivan's teaching and caring, which
led a blind and deaf Helen Keller out of a dark world of ignorance and fear, are the subject
of The Miracle Worker, which opens April 15 at LCC. The production is under the direction

"The people we have are
pretty good,'' explains
Yriarte. And, as usual, the
Titans will find most of their
strength in the distances.

Last season, Mt. Hood rode
its outstanding strength in the
sprints to a national title.
LCC, traditionally noted for
being outstanding in the
distance events, is adding two
good athletes in the sprints
and hopes to follow the Saints'
formula for success.

But the heart of the team is
the distance running, led by
freshman Janet Beaudry. The
Region 18 champion and fifthplace finisher at nationals in
cross-country last fall is considered the favorite in most of
this spring's distance events.

ning all-American honors in
cross-country two seasons
ago. His bests include a 14.48
in the 5000. Running the middle distances will be Tim Beatty, a freshman from Centennial, who has a best of 1.54.4.

But don't count out the
Titans in the race for honors
just yet. They're still talented,
but lack depth and will be
forced to work a little harder
and possibly double or triple
•
in some events.

"We should be better this
season," she predicts. "We
can cover more events with
quality athletes."

Leading the sprinting corps
will be Juanita Nelson, a
freshman from Klamath Falls.
Nelson has bests of 12.21 in
the 100, and 24.8 in the 200.
Behind her is Mary Ficker of
Eugene, also a freshman, with
bests of 12.5 and 26.4, respectively. In the 400, the Titans'
Jill Haugen has clocked a 57 .2
mark.

Because of eligibility and
economic problems, five top
athletes aren't part of the
Titan squad this season. With
them go a lot of marks, hopes,
and possible points in the May
national championships.
"Losing all these people
because of eligibility and
economic problems just kills
you,'' explains Harland
Yriarte, who coached the
Titans to a 6-0 dual meet
record and the regional championship title last season.

The Titans, tired of being
second best to the Saints, are
readying themselves for a solid
battle this spring. In preparation for the showdown, the
Titans have stocked their ammunition, says coach Lyndell
Wilken.

''We've got more depth in
the sprints,'' says Wilken, and
adds that the same holds true
for the field events.

.Netters eye OCCA A first division
by Terry Rhoads
of the TORCH
The men's tennis squad is a
solid favorite to rank among
the best in the OCCAA again
this season. But how far the
Titans climb up the success
ladder will be determined by
four newcomers, says LCC
coach Don Wilson.
"We'll be a good team, but
I don't know if we'll be quite
as good as last year's team,"
says the sixth-year coach.

''The real determining factor
will be how well our number
three singles and the doubles
teams perform."

the two and three singles positions • are Oreg Price, Andy
Burk, Terry Rhoads, Darren
Strahm, and Terry Johnson.

The Titans have a solid
number one singles player in
Brian Leahy, who returns
from last year. Leahy, one of
the top players in the OCCAA, could vie for championship honors this season.

Price, a league champion at
the number two doubles position last sason, has been playing number two.
Burk, a freshman from Springfield High School and a
quarterfinalist in the state
doubles tournament tast
season might be the best
doubles player on the team.

After Leahy, though, it's a
toss-up at best. The problem
of second-best lies in the close
abilities of five players.

Rhoads, a freshman from
North Eugene High School, is
playing after a one-year
layoff.

"Yeah, after Brian there is a
slight drop off in ability, but
those next five players are all
so close," says Wilson, who
coached the Titans to a 12-5
season mark last year and
runner-up in the OCCAA
championships behind Mt.
Hood.
