Lane Community College Vol. 23, No. 2 September 30, 1982 - 0d8her ,, 1982 'The Pacesetter of Oregon College Newspapers' Fall enrollment steady for LCC by Jeff Keating and Mike Sims of the TORCH LCC's fall term enrollment held steady at last year's level, according to preliminary figures released Tuesday. And LCC Dean of Student Services Jack Carter says the enrollment numbers could be even larger if LCC could handle the new student influx. ''The reason we're holding steady is because we don't have the resources to serve more students,'' says Carter. He added that the final fall term enrollment tally would not be computed until later next week. LCC's steady enrollment mark coincides with a dramatic estimated 9 percent drop in fall enrollment at the University of Oregon, according to preliminary statistics released by UO officials Tuesday. And Oregon State University's preliminary figures show a 5 percent drop from last fall. With enrollment at many state schools down, LCC's enrollment fortunes may seem like a surprising occurrence, but Carter believes "many community colleges across the state have experienced an increase." He went on to say that winter and spring term enrollments would probably decrease from the fall term high-water mark, as they do traditionally. Two relatively familiar faces were part of a protest line which marched in front of the Administration Building last week. Those in line are members of the LCC Employees Federation, whose members voted Tuesday whether or not to ratify a new contract. The results of the vote were n~t available at press time. Opposition to No. 3 runs strong Analysis by Mike Sims TORCH Associate Editor Two campus organizations are working to organize opposition to Ballot Measure No. 3, which will appear before Oregon voters on the Nov. 2 general election ballot. The LCCEA and ASLCC have organized Eugene-area door-to-door campaigns against Measure 3 during October. At least 800 persons are needed to canvass Eugene/Spring field-area voting precincts by knocking on doors and handing out literature Saturday, Oct. 16. Another 800 volunteers will be needed on Oct. 30 (also a Saturday) to drop literature on area doorsteps. Dramatic funding cuts Measure 3 would, if passed, limit property taxes to one and one-half percent of true cash value ($15 per $1000) as assesed July 1, 1979. It would provide for funding of 'essential' • Depersonlization of the masses results as the nation gets 'smaller.' See editorial, page 2. services (law enforcement, fire protection and ambulance service) at 100 percent of their 1979 levels. The remainder of available public monies would be used to fund education, human services and similar services. The measure would also require that any new taxes levied in Oregon be approved by a two-thirds majority vote of the Legislature. Constitutionally, the Legislature would become the sole revenue-raising body in the state. According to Dean of Administrative Services Bill Berry, passage of Measure 3 would have a serious impact on LCC beginning with the 1983-84 school year. LCC's current budget is based upon a full-time equivalency (FTE) of 9000 students. Budget cuts and subsequent staff reductions would result in a 22 percent FTE loss, causing the elimination of 27 percent of the LCC budget. Consequently, 175 full-time • Staff groups known as "Verteams" are conquering many LCC problems. See story, page 3. faculty and staff and all parttime personnel would be eliminated. This 'cost-cutting' measure would cost LCC approximately $800,000 _-in unemployment benefits for laid-off personnel. Nearly $500,000 in contingency funds and monies for capital outlay would also be eliminated. ''The figures speak for themselves," says Berry. "If it (the measure) passes, we're obviously in deep financial trouble." Measure 3 was modeled after California's Proposition 13, approved by popular vote in 1978. However, LCCEA president Mike Rose points out glaring discrepancies between the economic situation in California at the time of Proposition 13's passage and the current state of affairs in Oregon: • California at that time had a revenue surplus. Oregon is currently deep in the hole. • California has a state sales On The Inside • An LCC alum opens her own Eugene business. See story, page 5. tax. Oregon has none. In 1978, a healthier economy made California's income tax revenues a reliable source of state income. Because of the current deep recession, Oregon's income tax is not a stable source of revenue. Rose states that passage of Measure 3 would create further economic hardship for Oregon by putting the brakes on bonding programs which fund economic development. Bonding for such programs as elderly housing, pollution control, energy programs and facilities for higher education would be restricted by the provision requiring two-thirds majority approval of the Legislature. Veterans homes and farm loan programs would be eliminated. Rose also states that passage of the measure would cause LCC to lose nearly 42 percent of its 1981-82 property tax revenues. • The Wall; Pink Floyd's new film, is a brutal exercise in wasted time. See review, page 8. Student help requested ASLCC President Paquita Garatea emphasizes the need for student help in educating taxpayers about the ramifications of approval for Measure 3. "I can sympathize with (the taxpayers) -- they are being 'zapped' tax-wise -- but their children are using public educational facilities such as LCC. The voters and taxpayers need to be educated to the fact that their tax dollars are best invested in education." - Garatea said that the ASLCC will be distributing information about Measure 3 in the cafeteria beginning Monday, Oct. 11. _Canvassers will meet on Oct. 16 and· Oct. 30 at 9 a.m. at South Eugene High School, • 400 E. 19th Ave. Interested persons are requested to sign up in advance at the ASLCC offices, room 479 of the Center building. • Two new coaches and enthusiastic attitudes spell LCC athletics this year.

Page·2 September 30, 1982 - E>etulsc 1982 The tOR.CH FREE FOR ALL First in a series Individualism declines as America shdnks by Jeff Keating _TORCH Editor In a world that is constantly finding new ways to decrease the amount of time needed for long distance communication and transportation, a depersonalization of each and every one of us seems inevitable. The closer we are to our neighbors, be they in Springfield, Akron or Indochina, the more we know about them. And the more we begin to act like them. Now this in itself is not an inherently bad thing. Every individual has redeeming qualities that many others might be well-advised to adopt. In fact, many times it is through our neighbors and friends that we begin to see some of the weaknesses in ourselves and endeavor to improve upon them. But when we begin to adopt the attitudes and actions of others for their sheer novelty -and nothing else -- individual personality is placed in jeopardy. Be it Valspeak, punk haircuts or sororities and frats, following someone else's preference seems to be in vogue. What it breaks down to is that the world is getting smaller. And it's a smallness we can probably do better without.

Dragging the Main I drove through much of the Midwest this summer, visiting relatives in Kansas. Although this in itself does not seem like anything extraordinary, I discovered, through a variety of remarkably similar incidents, that my summer probably wouldn't have been much different if I hadn't left home. Having never been to Colorado before, I couldn't really say much about its people or its customs. I drove away from that state feeling both surprised and dismayed. If you've never been to Burlington -- most folks haven't -- it's a small town about 30 miles from Colorado's eastern border. The tallest building is perhaps three stories tall, the lowest partially underground, and the people are, as in most small towns, appropriately smalltownish. A nice place to visit, but. .. In any event, I hit Burlington at about 1 a.m. on a Saturday. But I wasn't exactly alone. At least 40 cars were slowly cruising down Burlington's biggest street -- which is about four blocks long -and turning around and doing it all over again. In Eugene -- a city of 104,000 -- I could see it: The Camaros, Firebirds and other muscle cars lined up at the 29th and Willamette stoplight, cruising what is affectionately called 'The Gut.' But in a town one-twentieth the size? It scared me. a spending Maybe somewhat more creative Friday night hadn't occured to anyone west of Kansas City, I thought. My spirits lifted as I continued eastward. Things would get better. I foresaw a pox on social duplication in America's heartland. I was wrong. Cruising the Fe Overland Park, Kansas, is a pleasant Kansas City suburb of about 80,000. In all ways, it is an ideal town in which to raise children, drink milk and do other things associated with living in Middle America. Some of my cousins live in the Overland Park area. And, having nothing better to do on a Friday night, we ended up driving on Santa Fe Boulevard. And Santa Fe known in Boulevard Overland Park cruising circles as simply 'the Fe' -- is a latenight haven for every bored group of young motorists for miles around. And, true to form, all of the cars and the people in them looked alike. I sort of expected they would. Being real people If it seems like I have a vendetta against cruising, let me dispel that misconception. I don't. It is simply a microcosm of a larger problem, not a personal idiosyncrasy. The world is getting smaller. Lacey, from People Washington to Overland Park are doing the same things in the same way. It's part of everyday life, not just boring Friday nights. It's in our television programs, our radio shows, our reading matter, almost telling us to be this way, be that way, but for heaven's sake don't be what you are. We must deal with it on a personal level. That's what makes us individuals. It's like the old line that asked '' If your best friend jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge, would you?" It would be nice to think that most of us would still have our feet -- and they are ours, not somebody else's planted firmly in our own ways of thinking. This is the first in a three-part series of observations about "smallness. " Part Two will explore why Eugene gets smaller every day. Part Three will address the shrinkage of the LCC community. Renters: You have rights Editor's note: This article was written by Stanley Cram, a lawyer for the ASL CC Legal Services Program. The program, sponsored by the Associated Students of Lane College Community (ASLCC), is designed to assist students in coping with various legal problems. Any student who has a legal problem and is currently registered for credit may see an attorney at no cost by making an appointment at the ASLCC Legal Services office in the _Center Building or by phoning extension 2340 for an appointment. Many students are now renting apartments and houses, some for their first time. Landlord-tenant problems are some of the most common legal problems for students and many are easily avoidable. Here are eight pointers you will want to remember in your search for housing: 1) This is a tenant's market. The vacancy rate in Eugene and Springfield is higher than it has been in recent memory. This gives you bargaining power when dealing with a potential landlord. In addition to offering the landlord less rent than he/she is asking for the unit, you may be able to rent the unit without paying last month's rent and/or a security deposit. There is no need to rush into a housing situation -- if you don't rent it, it will probably remain vacant while you ponder your decision. 2) Before renting, check out the landlord. Talk with other tenants in the same building or, if possible, the tenants who had been living in the unit in ' which you are interested. If previous tenants have had problems with the landlord, there is a good chance that you will have problems with him or her too. 3) Who pays for utilities? This is a cost many tenants don't consider when comparing rent. Phone the utility company to see what previous tenants have paid. 4) Try to rent the unit on a month-to-month basis; avoid long-term leases. In poor real estate markets such as the one that exists now, landlords will try to get you to commit yourself for as long as a year. But your plans or living situation might change and rent may continue to decline. Leases tie up your options. Month-to-month agreements are better. 5) If a landlord makes you a promise, get it in writing. If the landlord is not willing to do so, it probably means the promise will be broken. Printed rental agreements are usually one-sided -- in favor of the landlord -- so make sure you read it carefully before signing it. Promises made by the landlord should be contained in any written rental agreement. 6) Inspect the premises carefully. Obtain an Inventory_ and Condition Report from our office, fill it out, send a copy to the landlord and keep the original. When you move out, the landlord will not be able to charge you for damage that existed before you moved in because you will have recorded all such damage in the Report. 7) Consider rental insurance. If you have many valuable possessions, you would be well-advised to get rental insurance in case your property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other causes. 8) Know your rights. The Oregon Residential Landlord Tenant Act was first enacted nine years ago and has been amended several times since then. It isn't perfect, but it does provide for some protection from unscrupulous landlords. The Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) publishes an excellent Renter's Handbook, which is available at our office for no charge. If you have more questions about a particular problem you are experiencing, make an appointment to see an attorney in our office. There is no charge for our services -- our program is _sponsored by your student government. The TORCH September 30,: 1982 - <3etobct 6, 1982 Page 3 Verteams solving college snafus by Mike Sims TORCH Associate Editor "It's here to stay -- a speedy method of tackling issues of concern and coming out with concrete suggestions and solutions.'' Thus Julie AspinwallLamberts su-m s up the Verteam concept, initiated at LCC by the Productivity Center last spring as a variation of the quality circle method of problem solving. The name "Verteam" is short for "vertical team" and refers to a "ladder" beginning with classified staff members and working its way up through administrators. All work together on solving a problem plaguing some facet of LCC life. Verteams differ slightly from quality circles. Members of a quality circle will identify and solve a problem within The solutions ·work because they're created by those who use a college service their own work area, while a Verteam is made up of persons from both within and outside the area who will solve a problem that has already been identified. In creating the Verteam concept, Aspinwall-Lamberts and Productivity Center director Casey Fast retained several positive aspects of the quality circle method, among them voluntary participation by personnel, management presentation of hard data, and a spirit of trust and cooperation among group members. "Verteam members from the area of interest provide inside knowledge of how that area operates, thus giving the group a clear understanding of the problem to be faced," says Aspinwall-Lamberts.

"But even if a Verteam solution is wholly or partially rejected, a pool of options remains to choose from," she says. Further explaining benefits of Verteam, AspinwallLamberts says, "It's a more egalitarian approach of dealing with problem solving than a 'from-the-top-down' imposition of regulations and procedures. This should lead to better compliance and utilization of (LCC) services." Verteam has been received with a great deal ,of enth us i as m by LCC administrators and department heads, according to Aspinwall-Lamberts. The LCC Board of Education was impressed with the concept when it was presented by Aspinwall-Lamberts and Fast at a recent board meeting. ''The (LCC) administration is making a very sincere attempt to get more problem solving input from the LCC staff,'' says AspinwallLamberts. Big Brother /Sister program seeks help by Paul Hansen for the TORCH "Big Brother" wants you -the college student. Not because your mind is more susceptible to Orwellian logic, but because of the fine tradition college students have of being a warm, positive influence on many of the area's young people. "Big Brother" is not from George Orwell's 1984. It's the Big Brother-Sister program of Eugene, which is looking for college-age particpants to help in a community-based service that matches single-parent children ages 5 to 14 with an adult volunteer. Carolyn Higgins, executive director of the BB/BS Program, says she has two major goals. ''Our first goal is to provide a program of friendship for children from single-parent families . residing in the 4-J School District who are identified by·school counselors as needing a supportive and positive one-to-one relationship. Secondly, to provide a program of friendship for the adult volunteer." In its fifteenth year of providing companionship, the program currently has about 160 matches. At • this time, there is a much greater need for Big Brothers than Big Sisters. The college-age volunteer has always been an asset to the program. "One thing about college students is that they don't put up with any bull. They don't try and work out all the problems. They just have fun with the kids, are loving, enthusiastic and make great volunteers," Higgins said. '' About seven people from LCC are in the program ~nd they are just fantastic." Unlike the UO program, there is no staffed BB/BS office on the LCC campus. Anyone interested should contact Higgins at BB/BS office on N. Monroe St. in Eugene or call 687-3320. Higgins stresses that qualifications for becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister are stringent for good reason. Along with the desire to establish an open friendship with a child, an adult must be consistent and responsible. ''These kids have had one disappointment ~fter another. If a person cannot be dependable, then I don't want ·them,'' Higgins says. Time is another essential element. If the adult companion is a student, he or she must be able to serve over a three term period and spend a minimum of three. hours per week with a child. Denali editor resigns post by Cynthia Whitfield TORCH Staff Writer • Denali, LCC's literary magazine, is again in need of an editor for the 1982-83 school year. Cynthia Hansen, chosen last year by the Media Commission to head the magazine, has resigned after accepting a full time position at the University of Oregon's Daily Emerald. Denali features poetry, short stories, essays and photography along with other selected creative efforts by LCC students and faculty. "We're sorry to lose Cynthia," says Peggy Marston, Cooperative Work Experience (CWE) adviser. "She was highly skilled in production, photography and art.'' At press time, Hansen could not be reached for comment on her decision. • Denali is now accepting applications for the vacated position, says Marston. "We're looking for someone with management skills, a background in language arts and hopefully some of the other arts. They should be able to supervise others and be willing to be underpaid, overworked and enjoy every minute of it.'' The editorship is not a salaried position, but it can fulfill work/study requirements. The editor should expect to work an average of 20 hours a week with some weeks requiring longer hours. The Denali staff is also in need of a literary editor and arts editor, but these positions cannot be filled until an editor is selected. The editor, in association with Language Arts advisers, will be expected to put together the rest of the staff. "We're not anxious (to fill the position)," Marston said. "We want to find the right person for the job." Page 4 September 30, 1982 - ~_tilt 6, 1982 The TORCH This week's issue of the TORCH marks the debut of a new feature section called Faces on File.

The TORCH September 30, 1982 - Sci do I Ii; 1982 Page 5 Bates brings B&B to Eugene by Jeff Keating TORCH Editor She isn't in it just for the money. "It's funny," says Ursula Bates. "I never really thought about the money involved in it until recently. I was just so busy doing it.'' "It," for Bates, is the Campus Cottage Bed and Breakfast Inn, an hotel/motel alternative modeled after the inns of the Victorian age. Through LCC and UO classes, design experience and "a lot of learning on the job," Bates has become the sole proprietor of Eugene's first such establishment. Her new business is only another part of a past and future filled with similar efforts, ranging from house building projects to wallpaperhanging jobs. And only through a love for interior design and construction could the owner of a type of business well-noted for its monetary success "forget" about the money. The artistic child Bates has always had a love for things visual and structural. As a child in Youngstown, Ohio -- her birthplace -- and Medford, she had a preference for school art classes and for helping choose designs and color schemes around the home. ''There was this one time,'' she recalls, ''when Mom had the bathroom done in red, black, white. . .oh, it was something. But we worked it out." Her artistic interests lasted well into high school and college, but ''women were not encouraged in the field of art then." So Bates ended up taking the accepted regimen of secretarial courses for women and, curiously, geography courses. Geography? "I love to travel," she says, revealing another one of her interests for which there has been little or no time in recent years. "I love to just be going someplace, knowing there are different people there.'' Her desire to travel -- after attending colleges ranging , from the University of Col. orado at Boulder to Foothills College in Los Altos, Calif., to the University of Oregon -was partially fulfilled when she married Ed Cripe, a high school friend who was at that time an officer in the US Navy. As with many Navy families -- Bates and Cripe have two children, Andy, a freshman at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California and Bryce, a sophomore at Churchill High -- the Cripes moved a great deal. And with each new move, whether it be to Florida, California or Washington State, came a different challenge: A new house. "It seemed like every time I turned around I was decorating houses,'' says Bates. "I guess that's a good thing. I have states of grumpiness when I don't get my creative fix.'' After Cripe left the Navy in 1969, the family moved to Eugene. Bates' creative tendencies then began to be exercised in earnest. A gradual progression toB&B As her children attended school in those early days of the 1970s and her husband established himself in Eugene's metropolitan workplace, Bates did her own thing: Making clothes for the family and household accoutrements for their first Eugene home. She also served as a parent volunteer at Magladry Elementary School on a weekly basis and as a community volunteer for Art in the Schools. _Ursula Bates stands by the sign that tells it all • It was all leading to something a little bit bigger: Her first decorating job. '' A friend of mine had $100 and a lime-green carpet,'' Bates_ remembers. "We (she had an associate at that time) took that $100 and bought wallpaper and paint and did the living room, the bedroom, the entry hall and the hallway. And we still had some money left over to pay ourselves." She laughs. "Of course, it figured out to about 30 cents an hour ... " Her first decorating effort escalated into a series of jobs that gained her some recognition in Eugene's interior design community. Her success in that area is made all the more interesting by the fact that Bates does not have a degree of any kind, with the exception of ''the wallpaperhanging school of hard knocks," she says. "I think I've paid my dues the hard way," she reasons. "I spent more than four years .hanging wallpaper and doing Photo by Andrew Hanhardt remodels. You learn a lot just doing it.'' But she felt she needed more. Taking action on a desire to become a general building contractor, she enrolled in LCC's drafting and construction technology classes and a UO interior design class. "I wanted -- and still want -to build small, well-designed houses,'' she says. ''Too many homes have lots of wasted space and aren't efficient." Bates' knowledge has been put to use in the design of a house she is building for herself in Eugene. Work will commence on the compact structure as soon as a permit goes through the city government. And there's still the bed and breakfast. The Campus Cottage "This was something I always wanted to do,'' she says, gesturing around her well-appointed cottage living room. "I just never got around to it before." The key to Bates' decision to "get around to it" came in May 1981, when she made a trip with some friends to the Victorian House Tour in Port Townsend, Washington. She quickly fell in love with the houses and the attitudes of their proprietors and came back to Eugene ready to remake an old house. Unfortunately, Eugene wasn't ready to be remade. "Do you know there aren't any old Victorian houses in Eugene?" she queries. "Believe me, I looked." Not wanting to give up too easily, Bates traveled to Ashland, to look at the numerous bed and breakfast establishments in that area and ask questions of their owners. She came away feeling more positive and with a differen t type of house in mind. A 1920s California-style bungalow had caught her eye while in Ashland, and upon talking to the proprietor she realized a B & B didn't have to be big or necessarily Victorian. "So I went from old to interesting,'' she confides. Her final selection -- and the result of work which has lasted from January 1982 to the present -- rests at 1136 E. 19th, between University and Potter streets. An attractive sign announcing the business sits on the front lawn. Stone steps lead to a facade that looks straight out of Hansel and Gretel. Inside, a fire crackles in the fireplace, and refurbished furniture and a variety of antiques occupy the living room. All in all, it's just the way Bates had it planned. "It's not so much the house as the people," she says. "That's what makes or breaks this kind of place. But the house helps.'' Not slowing down Ursula Bates isn't exactly at a standstill these days. Although her bed and breakfast nears final completion and has been doing business since August, she still spends virtually every part of every day selling the B & B idea to individuals ranging from University officials -, 'they have lots of guest speakers" -- to people just passing through Eugene. "Open houses, a lot of walking and talking, that kind of thing,'' she says in explaining her advertising methods. "I went into this (the business) really optimistic and very naive. I should have known better. Anybody who puts a house together learns how long it takes and how hard it is." Will all of her effort turn into success? "Of course," she says confidently. Then she adds, with a smile, "I'm planning on becoming the queen of the small house market." Hmmm. What was - that about money? Dancers electrify luncll Photos by Michael Bailey ch crowd Sometimes spinning and moving like dancers from a child's storybook tale -- and sometimes gyrating like the Rolling Stones latest video music effort -- the Lane Dance Theatre tripped the lawn fantastic Sept. 23 in a carefree modern dance program with oftentimes serious undertones. After warming up with LDT coordinator Mary Seereiter • on the north lawn outside the Center Building, the dancers launched into a program which included a variety of modern works. From Paranoid, which pitted one dancer "against" the others, to Movement for Six, a dance which involved all of the LDT members present, the noon hour was enhanced for several LCC lunch-takers by the original works of Seereiter and her troupe. Representing LDT were Jan Drake, Greg Taylor, Beth Ann Huston, Kenny Cherry, Heidi Barr and Julia Zigmund. Lane Dance Theater gives several performances throughout the year on campus and in the community.

But like a student who's forgotten the thesis statement for his essay, that "something" can seem pretty nebulous. The themes that do emerge in The Wall are those of violence, fear and frustration as reactions to repression, all seen through the memories and impressions of a single character, ''Pink,'' played by Bob Geldof of rock's Boomtown Rats. Since the dialogue of this movie is limited to just a line or two, the viewers' impressions are formed through the music and visual images alone. The Wall doesn't follow a regular story sequence or time line, but rather switches back and forth between past and present, reality and fantasy, much like a stream of consciousness novel. The film opens with scenes of WWII, where Pink's father is seen experiencing the senselessness of violence and death juxtaposed with scenes of sensless violence from the present; youthful concertgoers rushing the stage, trampling each other. These opening up being negative. scenes set a bleak tone for the As an example, the movie film, which draws parallels portrays sexual relationships between the dark aspects of as ultimately destructive. the human condition and the Pink, who seems numbed by portrayal of its frightening life, is unable to respond to his ·realities: Frustration at the in- wife, who in turn becomes unability to change the human faithful to him. Pink's condition and the violence that discovery of this spurs a paranoid animated fantasy, emerges from that frustration. These dark feelings are seen where a pair of gendered flower blossoms appear to as reactions to different forms prepare to consummate, but as of repression -- authority, both societal and parental; - the male begins to enter, the pain; and the lack of love -female erupts into a demonic which are collectively sym- carnivore that rips and shreds bolized as "the wall" that its' mate, ultimately devouring blocks and destroys the human it. spirit.

"I'm looking forward to this year,'' said Stan Elberson, of the .Performing Arts Department, ''The coming year has a lot of variety, and it is good for many levels of people." Elberson refers to the three productions planned for the year, God's Favorite, a Neil Simon comedy; Ondine, a romance by Jean Giraudoux, adapted by Maurice Valency; and the classic Rogers and Hammerstein musical, The Sound of Music. Elberson will be the director for God's Favorite; to be performed November 11-13 and 18-20, 1982, and The Sound of Music, to be performed April 28-30 and May 5-7, 1983. Ondine, to be performed January 27-29 and February 3-5, 1983 will have a guest director whose name has yet to be announced. "Ondine is probably least known of all these plays,'' says Dick Reid of the Performing Arts Department. "Yet it promises to be a really beautiful and entertaining production." Bruce Bibby, a recent graduate of the University of Portland, replaces David Sherman as Set Designer for the productions. Sherman left the position to join the LCC Language Arts Department, stating "I am looking forward to the chance to do things I haven't been able to do elsewhere.'' Season tickets for these productions can be purchased at the LCC box office, located in the Performing Arts Building between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, or by contact_ing the LCC Perform- ing Arts Department at: THEATER, 4000 East 30th Avenue, Eugene, OR 97405.

She cited Kathy Metzler and Camee Pupke, former District 5AAA all-stars from Thurston High and Cottage Grove High, respectively, as potential Titan standouts. The volleyballers opened the 1982 campaign by winning the OCCAA pre-season jamboree at Pendleton. They then took second place at the Umpqua C.C. tournament in Roseburg, winning 11 of 12 matches. They open conference play Friday, Oct. 1 at home against Umpqua. All home matches begin at 7 p.m. Poggi says that the majority , of his team members are freshmen but two players return from last year. "We're still holding tryouts but hope to learn more about who our team leaders are soon." The team has been tested once, in a pre-season match against the U of O which ended in a 3-3 tie. Sola Adjendi tallied twice for the Titans, with Daniel Corona's 30-foot goal rounding out the scoring. One pre-season match -- a Sept. 29 affair against Willamette -- remained with results unavailable at press time. The team opens OCCAA competition Saturday, Oct. 9 at home against Portland C.C.

Harland Yriarte returns for his third year as men's cross country coach with a great deal of optimism. "We have a tough and enthusiastic team with a lot of potential,'' he says. "The depth of this year's squad is questionable at this time, but it is expected to improve as the season gets underway. ''Coaching is like a game of horseshoes," Yriarte explains. "By adjusting a slight touch on the individual, improvement is made with each step." Returning from last season's Region 18 third-place team is Nathan Morris, American record holder in the steeplechase for 17-year-olds with a time of 8:59.72. Another runner who shows promise, according to Yriarte, is Marty Beauchamp, a transfer from the University of Florida. Beauchamp placed third in the two-mile run at the 1981 Kinney Indoor Prep Championships with a time of 9:01.
