Health Building modified
Analysis by Ellen Platt

TORCH Associate Editor

Last year's investigation of
odors in the Health Building
yielded no evidence of harmful
fumes, but resulted in
modifications to the building's
ventilation system.
The history of the controversy, which began in the
spring of 1981, included a
numbei: of issues and actions,
among them:
• A claim filed with the State
Accident Insurance Fund
(SAIF) by LCC employees;
• A request made to the LCC
Board by the LCC Employees'
Federation and the ASLCC
President that the building be
closed until testing could be
conducted to determine if it
was a safe working environment -- the request was refused;
• Testing of the air by the
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) to determine if there
were toxic fumes present in the
Health Building;
State Senator Margie Hendriksen, who is running against incumbent Mark Hatfield for U.S. Senate, will speak at Lane Community College today, at 3 p.m., in the Boardroom of the Administration Building. Hendriksen will address the topics of
financial aid and Central America.

LCC Board begins

search for president
The LCC School Board met
Wednesday night for a special
work session to begin discussing the search for a new president.
Representatives from two
consulting firms presenteµ information about how they
would conduct a search and
the Board discussed the options of hiring one of them or
performing the search without
a consultant according to
guidelines made available by
Linn-Benton Community College -- who did their own
search.

Dr. Marie Martin, a consultant from the Association of
Community College Trustees
(ACCT) in Los Angeles,
presented information about
her firm which she thought
would make it the best choice.
Dr.
John
Dunn,
an
owner/partner from the firm
of Professional Personnel
Leasing, Inc. in Los Altos,
California, gave details on
how his firm would conduct
the search. Price quotes rang-

ed from "$9,000 or less for
most searches,'' from Martin
and "$6,000 to $12,000,"
from Dunn.
After Martin and Dunn conveyed their information,
board members decided they
would not solicit input from
other consultants and then
discussed the final three
possibilities. Most board
members felt not hiring a consultant would require too
much work (number of applications are expected to be
around 200). Board member
Bill Manley wasn't opposed to
the idea of hiring a consultant
but
said
he
was
"disappointed" and "leery of
both."
Faculty in the audience ex-pressed interest in representation on an advisory committee
and Cindy Weeldreyer,
ASLCC president spoke in
favor of student representation.
The next board meeting was
scheduled for October 24
when further discussion will
take place.

• Removal of the children in
the Child Develpment Center
to additional facilities at Dunn
School from October of 1982
until late in February of 1983;
• And eventually, modification of the ventilation system
in the building and alterations
in procedures in portions of
the building.

The Health Building houses
a variety of programs and services, among these are the
Child Development Center,
Home Economics, Health Occupations, the dental lab, the
LCC laundry, and several
computer rooms.
The SAIF claim, originally
filed by eight current and
former LCC employees, alleged that they had suffered job
related neurological damage.
Claimants asserted they
developed
''peripheral
neuropathy,'' -- a nervous
system disorder characterized
in part by numbness and tingling in the hands and feet -because they breathed air
believed to contain toxic
substances.
Tests conducted later, at the
request of the college administration and the faculty
union, did not reveal levels of
contaminants deemed sufficient to cause the medical problems the claimants experienced. The claims were disallowed
by the SAIF that summer, appealed to the Workers Compensation Board, and later,
settled out of court with the
SAIF under undisclosed
terms.
However, NIOSH made
several recommendations to
reduce odors and control
chemicals within the building.

Many of these focused on
building ventilation, especially
in the dental lab.
Among them were: a change
in the location of the air intake
for the building because of its
proximity to the laundry and
its loading dock (later the
height of the air intake vent
stack was raised by ten feet); a
ban on trucks and cars in the
vicinity of the laundry dock
and air intake to reduce the induction of contaminants;
discontinuation of the laun- ·
dry's practice of washing· oily
rags and mops, and a change
to a brand of detergent containing no kerosene; and installation of ventilation hoods
and exhaust fans in the dental
lab and its darkroom to prevent chemicals and their odors
from being distributed to the
rest of the building.
In addition to these
changes, the college also installed a sophisticated charcoal filter in the central ventilation unit of the building
and increased the speed of circulation fans throughout the
system. Sandra Ing, director
of student health services, explains, that "It has not totally
eliminated odors," but adds
''my own personal feeling is
now that the filter is installed,
it's the safest building on --campus."

His Holiness blows whistle on center building basement
Satire by Allan Smolker

TORCH Staff Writer and Pope of The Church of
Life, The Universe, and Everything

(My friend Dwane Fogcutter is
not a real person, but then
most of the people I know are
unreal.)
Dwane Fogcutter was in the
LCC messhall when I ran into
him the other day. I wasn't
watching where I was going,
and knocked a bowl of
cafeteria soup into his lap.
As we cleaned up the mess,
we talked. "Speaking of a
mess," he said, "did you
know that they are having
pollution problems in the
basement of the Center

Building? They have stagnant
air, toxic chemicals floating
around, and green water coming out of a water fountain.''
"Great Zephod Beeblebrox!
That is terrible! They ought to
clean up that mess!'' I said.
Oh contrere, it is not terrible. It's wonderful!" said he.
Fogcutter went on to explain that colleges and universities are no longer lofty seats
of learning where students are
taught to open their minds and
seek truth -- truth-seeking is
passe.
The truth is, said Fogcutter,
colleges are job and research
mills turning out fodder for in-

Forum

dustry. And that is good,
because industry creates jobs,
jobs make a healthy economy,
and what is healthy for industry is good for everybody.
All industries create some
pollution, therefore pollution
is healthy.

He added, that if LCC
wants the business world to
respect it, then LCC must not
only not clean up the pollution
it hcis, but must pollute more.
Fogcutter insists pollution is
not the problem. If everybody
in the Center Building basement died, they wouldn't be
statistically significant because

they make up less than .00001
percent of the U.S. population, and jobs are important.
Then Fogcutter observed,
"It's a dog-eat-dog world out
there. If we want to compete
with other states for jobs, we
have to develop a healthy attitude toward pollution."

LCC should show the world
that it is open for business,
and Oregon is for sale. If you
stop to think, my friend
Dwane Fogcutter did make
one important point -- without
community support there
wouldn't be an LCC environment at aJJ.

answered
To the Editor:
This letter is written in
response to '' His Holiness''
Allan Smolker and his anger at
the LCC Bookstore, (article
Sept. 27, 1984).
As the bookstore cashier for
two years I have had the
sometimes difficult and
unpleasant task of asking people not to bring backpacks,
bags and books into the store.
Most people comply with this
request with tact and
understanding. It is a well
known fact that some people
steal, and in order to protect
the bookstore from shoplifters
it must enforce a policy such
as the one Mr. Smolker protests. Many other retail
businesses have adopted the
same means of security, (U of
0 Bookstore, Drive-N- Save,
Safeway).
We try not accuse our
be
or
customers
discriminating. Any large con-

tainer, whether it be a purse,
bag, pack or briefcase is not
allowed into the store. Occasionally someone will slip by
without being noticed, and
there are exceptions to the
policy, such as store
employees, salesmen or
deliveries. We attempt to be
polite to everyone we come into contact with, and good feelings are returned 99 percent of
the time. I assure you that the
bookstore is not out to
manipulate or control anyone
but to provide a service to
students the best way we know
how.

castigated

To the Editor:
In last week's "Forum," the
TORCH printed an essay by
Robert Nordahl in which he
accomplished two things. One
thing he did was inform
readers that he had "one
friend," Jesus Christ who

comtrast to the bloated bellies
of undernourished children:
• World military spending
increased from $200 billion in
1970 to an estimated $550
billion in 1981, an amount
equal to the annual income of
the poorest half of the world's
population.
• In the four years between
the first United Nations
Special Session on Disarmament in 1978 and the second in
1982, world military expenditures have exceeded $1.6
trillion.
• World military spending is
about twenty times the total

assistance given by developed
to underdeveloped countries.
• In pounds per person, the
world has more explosive
would never let _him down or
would leave him. The other accomplishment was a recitation
of some basic tenants of Christianity as specified in the Bible.
I would like to point out to
the TORCH that the column
labeled "Forum" should contain "essays ... aimed at broad
issues facing members of the
community" -- this specification appears in the masthead.
Apparently the TORCH
decided to make an exception
to the above prescription when
it printed Mr. Nordahl's letter.
There is no "issue" in the
essay. If Robert Nordahl
testifies to a belief in Jesus
Christ, we simply are forced to
take him at his word and respond with ''How nice for
you," or "So what." When he
unnecessarily reiterates the
basic tenants of Christianity,
we may wonder at the scope of
his understanding or become
perplexed by his syntax but
we're not likely to take exception to his statements. There is
no ''issue'' identified or addressed.
Admittedly, the Christian
Community may find the
publication of still another

power than food.
• Income per person
averages $5,690 in developed
nations, $530 in developing;
the gap between richer and
poorer nations has doubled
since 1960.
At the same time, one
billion people (of the world's
4.2 billion population) are
undernourished, 800 million
adults are illiterate, 1.4 billion
have neither safe water nor effective medical care, and 800
million cannot afford basic
housing.
THE UNITED STA TES
This country, the world's
leading military power, has
over 25 million people who are
malnourished, 10 million
children who have never seen a
doctor, over 34 million people
testimonial either interesting
or comforting. They may even
find it encouraging. If the intention of the TORCH is to
provide the Christian Community with this sort of stroking, I suggest it would be better done in a column labeled
''Christian Forum,'' or
"More Testimony from the
Saved." The essay which was
printed was simply misplaced
in a column described as
focusing on "broad issues facing members of the community."

Higher voter turnout
goal of U of O group
Analysis by R. Wm. Gray
TORCH Staff Writer

"Change in '84," a coalition of staff, faculty, and
students at the U of 0, has initiated a campaign to register
eligible voters in an effort to
improve voter turnout at the
polls this November.
The U of O is only one of 26
universities and colleges
statewide participating in this
drive. The faculty, staff, and
students (and members of
their families) on these campuses represent a pool of over
100,000 potential voters.
Change in '84 will work
cooperatively on campuses,
and in the surrounding communities to spread voter information and to encourage people to register and vote in elections this fall.
Change In '84 isn't alone in
registration efforts. Students
For Reagan-Bush '84 began its
organizational efforts at the
university Monday, and the
Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group
(OSPIRG), an apparently
non-partisan group, has been
promoting registration.
It appears that the common
bond within the Change in '84
organization is their disapproval of President Rea_g an's
position and actions on several
issues -_- particularly the increased emphasis on military
spending at the expense · of
education.
Other major issues are cuts
in federal support and student
aid in higher education, and
substantial cuts in educational

programs at all levels. The
group is also concerned that
Reagan's military policies may
lead to increased involvement
in Central America -- and
potentially another Viet Nam
-- as well as further reductions
in funding for non-military
research.
According to Steven
Deutsch, a U of O professor,
Change In '84 is "unified to
increase turnout . . . unified to
see a change in the
WhiteHouse . . . and unified
on educational issues.
The group is quick to point
out President Reagan gained
only 48 percent of the Oregon
vote in 1980. Nationally he
received 50. 7 percent of the
ballots -- a figure which some
sources
considered
a
"landslide win" although the
number represented only 27
percent of the population eligible to vote in the election.

registration efforts. Students
For Reagan-Bush '84 began its

(Julian Camp, who is studying journalism at LCC, served
with the First Infan try Division in Vietnam in 1969-70.)
For a long time, Steven Tice
told people he had been in a
bad motorcycle accident. He
looks like and accident victim.
His right arm and shoulder are
missing and scars abound on
the right side of his face.
The truth is, Tice lost his
arm in the A Shau Valley of
Vietnam while serving as a platoon radio operator with A
Company, First Battalion of
the 506th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division.
Today, 15 years later, Tice
is team leader of the Eugene
Vet Center where he helps
veterans cope with injuries -visible and invisible -- similar
to those he suffered in May
1969.
Tice's unit had been in the
field about a week when the
North Vietnamese attacked. A
tear-gas grenade filled his foxhole with noxious fumes. He
took cover behind a tree. A
rocket-propelled grenade
blasted the tree.
'' I was one of the many
disabled veterans from the
Vietnam war who would have
died in any previous war,''
Tice says of the medical care
he received for massive injuries to his stomach, lungs,
back and head. While
surgeons repaired his damaged
body, complications arose.
pneumonia.
Double
Gangrene, which invaded the
remains of his right arm
Weight loss from 200 to 90
pounds. And at one point, a
cardiac arrest.
"I had family support from
the beginning, and I never
believed I was going to die,"
Tice says. His mother flew
from the United States •to
Japan where he was being
treated and stayed near him
for two months.

When Tice was well enough
to travel, he was flown to the
United States for further treatment at a San Francisco
hospital where he developed
friendships with other severely
wounded veterans.
During his year-long
hospital stay there, Tice says
he discovered something
unusual about the way he and
other patients coped with
pain.
"We were the elite, the
'avantgarde of the crips,' and
were somewhat chauvinistic
about it." he says. "And we
didn't listen to other people's
pain."
One veteran, for example,
appeared to be less severely injured than most, Tice says. He
would walk down the hall
wearing a sports outfit and
carrying a basketball.
''Having been a basketball
player, I was envious," Tice
says. "I didn't like seeing him
walk by the door to my room.
I used to joke about him and
call him 'basketball player.'

"After awhile he stopped
coming by. One day I was
talking with a nurse, and I asked her what happened to
'basketball player.' She
replied that he had died of
cancer.
''We all ate some shoe that
day," Tice says. "The point
for me was that all people go
through pain in a very personal way, and if we are going
to be judgmental about others
and their pain, we are going to
eat some shoe.
"Understanding that at the
young age of 21 has helped me
in working with other peo•
ple."
Tice, who was right-handed,
also had to learn new skills,
but says, "learning to become
left-handed was really no problem for me because I've
wellbeen
always
coordinated." The problem,
he says, "was getting used to
being one-handed."

Although Tice, 36, returned
to college part-time early in his
convalescence, his education
was interrupted repeatedly by
surgery. And as his recovery
progressed, he grew to dislike
being identified as a disabled
combat veteran.
"People would see that my
arm was missing and recognize
the age group I belong to and
ask me if I was in Vietnam,''
Tice says. "Then they would
give me their opinions about
war.''
Tice says he began hiding
the fact that he was a veteran
and even stayed home with his
family to avoid emotional confrontations that grew out of
the anti-Vietnam movement
during the early 1970s.
In 1976, he received an
undergraduate degree in
education from the University
of Nevada in Las Vegas, then
taught junior and senior high
there. In 1981, he received his
master's degree in 20th century soci_al history, specializing
in the 1930s era.
'' I chose social history
largely because I enjoy that
period of intellectual searching
for purpose in America and
some kind of purpose in my
own experience,'' Tice says.
Being a Vietnam veteran in
America has been difficult, he
says. The reluctance of
veterans to speak and the
reluctance of America to listen
have created a stereotypic
veteran - the macho image of
the cold combat veteran re~dy
to explode in rage at a glance.

Tice decided in 1979 to
become a counselor at a new
Las Vegas center where Viet,nam veterans could discuss
their experiences.
"It was powerful for me to
talk to other Vietnam veterans
about being ambushed in combat, the kinds of guilt I carried
about surviving and my own
performance in combat,'' he
says. ''They were thinking
those things, too."
Tice became the "team
leader" of a center in Billings,
Mont., and moved last
November to Eugene where he
directs the vet center program
and more than a dozen people,
including four full-time staff
members. The center at 1966
Garden Ave. deals with 40 to
60 new veteran contacts each
month while responding to the
needs of several hundred
more.

The center's program includes group therapy, counseling, couples' workshops,
sobriety maintenance and help
in overcoming addiction. The
focus is on issues resulting
from war trauma. The center
also hosts a job-finding skills

KZEL keeps you rollin'- safely
by R. Wm. Gray

TORCH Staff Writer

If you've had that "one
more," of "a few too
many"... you may want to
take advantage of a "free
ride'' home.
In an effort to get the drunk
driver off the road, Eugene
FM radio station KZEL, has
developed a community
membership program in Lane
County aimed at eliminating
the drunk driver and promoting good will between bar
and tavern owners and alcohol
abuse organizations within the
community.
The program provides a free
taxi cab ride home from participating Lane County clubs
and taverns to individuals who
find themselves uncomfortable about, or unable to drive
home safely after consuming
alcoholic beverages.
Pete Wild, news director for
KZEL says, aside from providing a needed community
service, they hope to convince
others that they are not "just a
party rock 'n' roll station, but
a station that cares about

Vet ____ cont. rrom page 4
sion each Wednesday from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m.
During the five years he has
been involved in the program,
Tice has received eight national awards for outstanding
public service, including The
Distinguished Handicapped
American Award from the
President's Committee on
Employment of the Handicapped.
" I'm a real believer in the
vet center program," he says.
''My essential philosophy is
that the vet center offers a safe
place for all Vietnam era
veterans to deal with readjustment issues that have blocked
their ability to be where they
want to be in life.
"I want to see it be a safe
place for Vietnam veterans to
talk to Vietnam veteran
therapists and non-veteran
counselors and get on with living." Getting on with living in
Tice's case involves the birth a
week ago of a son, the third
for him and his wife, Lisa.
Tice says he doesn't keep
statistics on the veterans he
has counseled. "I don't keep
batting averages," he says.
'' I see Vietnam veterans as
one of the strongest elements
in American society and a
resource untapped in America
today.''
"I see their faces. I see them
in the grocery stores and at the
movie theaters and they look
good. I see them around
America on their jobs and they
look good.

children, mothers and getting
drunks off the road.''
Participating bar and tavern
owners pay $30 each · per
month to the radio station to
become a member of the
"KZEL Rides For Friends"
program. In exchange, they
receive point of sale posters,
an unlimited supply of ride
tickets and a series of :20 second liner ads, geared to
educating the public about the
drunk driving problem and
related topics.
Wild indicated the ''Free
Ride'' program began August
27 of this year. Mike Pappas,
owner of KZEL, is sponsoring
this program in its infancy
stages.
According
to
Pete
Blakesley, owner of the
Gatehouse Tavern, several
people who felt they've had
"too much" to safely drive
home have asked for ride
tickets. He added that in the
last month, 60 rides have been
given, 3 of them from the
Gatehouse.

and that "KZEL's Ride For
Friends" is the "first organized effort'' among differing
factions to alleviate the drunk
driving problem.

Sources at several taxi companies claim the program
operates smoothly and
without incident. Only a couple of riders have asked for
(and not received) unscheduled stops between the last bar
and home. Cab company
representatives seemed pleased
to play a part in this effort to
keep drunk drivers off the
road.
Barbara Stoeffler, president
of the local chapter of
Mothers Against Drunk
Drivers (MADD), says they're
"in support of the concept"

Blakesley also reported
there are about 35 bars and
taverns currently participating
in the "Free Ride" program,
most of whom are members of
the Fair Treatment Committee. This committee was
designed to promote legislation that is equitable for all
factions involved in the drunk
driving controversy. Blakesley
said, "we want to point out inadequacies in the law" and
"portray an image in the community that we are not the bad
guys."

MADD hopes that more
bars and taverns will participate in the program. They
foel that anything less than 100
percent participation will be
confusing to the public, believing that some clients might not
know if they are in a participating bar or not. The end
result of this situation might
be an irate customer -- a
drunken irate customer.
Wes Thayer of the Enforcement Division of the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission,
indicated there are 200 to 250
licensed establishments in the
Eugene-Springfield area.

Blakesley feels about 100 of
these should be participating
in the "Free Ride" program.
The others are basically
restaurants, lounges. and cafes
which normally wouldn't have
a problem with drunk drivers.

Wild says of the ''Free

Editor,s Note: To commemorate LCC,s 20th anniversary, the Torch is reprinting excerpts
from the book uFourth and Madison,,, a history of the Eugene Vocational School by
David Butler (Copyright 1976, LCC). 'This is the third excerpt.
0. D. Adams was a practical man. He knew there
would probably be stiff opposition from some parts of the
commur_,ity and he planned to fight it with statistics. He
wanted to show beyond a shadow of a doubt that there
was not only room, but also a need, for a vocational
education school in Eugene.

The survey had already proved that more than 2,
500 young people in the Eugene area were jobless, and
proponents of the school figured a winter opening might
help some of them find work by summer. More realistically, there were also political considerations to a
January-or February-opening.

In early fall, 1937, Adams hired the former head of
the Grants Pass mining school, Winston Purvine, as his
Administrative Assistant for Research and sent him off
with six other vocational department supervisors to canvass Eugene.

Many people in the community were still skeptical
~f vocational education in general and a public-supported
'1ocational school in particular.

Purvine is now president of the Oregon Institute of
Technology and remembers the survey well.
"There were seven of us ... we were all from some
field of vocational education.
"Earl Cooley was supervisor of vocational
agriculture education; Walter Morse was in trade and industrial training-they were all specialists in some field or
trade.
"We started making the rounds in October 1937
after 0. D. told us to hit at least 70 percent of the community, and that meant mills, stores, private homes,
labor unions, workers. Just about
granges, clubs,
everybody.
"The survey itself was quite long. Eighteen pages I
think. It was divided into two parts with the first part being
of a general nature and relatively nonfocused and the second part more specific, dealing with exactly what kind of
things needed to be accomplished in Eugene."
Purvine denied that the survey was stacked in
favor of the vocational school, although sometimes it
seemed that way.
"It seems to me that while we didn't come right out
and ask whether a vocational school should be established, we did ask most people their opinions on how it could
be established and specifically, what should be taught. On
those questions we tried to get a cross-section of
responses. Like we wouldn't stop with employers ... as
soon as we finished with them, we would ask their
employees what they thought."
What they thought was exactly what 0. D. Adams
and the rest of the pro-vocational school people hoped
they would. Although the results have since been lost, all
indications point to strong support from the community.
The school board was ever:i beginning to talk about
vocational education projects during their public
meetings, approving a plan to host a state school for
janitors in November and a WPA proposal to hold a
school for house maids later in the month.
Still, however, the Board was keeping mum on the
vocational school, preferring to discuss the topic during
work sessions. In the meantime, chairman Maclaren
worked closely with the state's survey team and
presumably kept the Board posted on the team's
progress.
In Salem, Adams was using some of his political
muscle to twist a few legislative arms. He wanted money.
The federal act that had established both the Federal and
State Boards of Vocational Education in 1917 had made
provisions for some matching government funds for such
projects as long as state and local governments kicked in
some too.
Adams wanted that money. As much as he could
get. He also wanted equipment. As much of that as he
could get. From the beginning, it looked Hke the mqney
would be easier to find than equipment. Eventually,
Adams would look to the school's teachers, and students,
and finally, to the incredible resources of a nation at war.
"' But in the early winter of 1937, the status of the
vocational school was still fairly "iffy". The survey was going well, but Adams and Cramer were anxious. With the
Christmas season approaching, stores would be staying
open longer so Adams sent an order down to Eugene for
the survey team to stay on the streets until the last
merchant closed his shop.
There was talk between the two-and probably
with the Board during private work sessions-that if all the
hurdles could be crossed, the new vocational school
could open by January. February at the latest.

"We had to show them it could work," said Purvine. "O. D. and the others felt that four or five months of
operation in the winter would prove to the community and
the businesses that vocational education was effective."
Purvine and the others stepped up their work on
the survey toward the end of December and by the end of
the first' week of January, Adams and Cramer felt it was
safe to make some sort of public statement about the
state's intentions.
On January 4, 1938, the Eugene Register-Guard
published a short article outlining the objectives of the
school, its location, and when it would open: It also let
Adams have his say...
The ultimate public relations man, Adams went to
great tengths to explain that the Eugene Vocational
School-as it was to be called-would not displace
workers from their present jobs as some craft unions
feared and that "it is our aim to supply practical work
wherever we find a real demand." As a clincher for
money-conscious Eugeneans, Adams pointed out that the
free tuition of the new vocational school would be an attractive alternative to expensive correspondence courses.
Two days later the Register-Guard said in an editorial,
presumably written by Tugman, that "such a school can
grow into the community's program of development,
supplying those elements of skill and originality now lacking in many trades."
Now that they had more or less "gone public", the
school's organizers moved quickly.
On January 10, Board members Gilbert
Maclaren, Victor P. Morris, Mrs. W. S. Love, Austin E.
Dodds and Lloyd A. Payne heard Superintendent Cramer
explain the agreement made by the District and the State.
It was the first mention of the school made by the Board
during a public meeting.
Cramer said, "The state proposes to engage
teachers in the various trades and industries, and to expend for salaries during the balance of the present school
year approximately $12,000, providing the district will expend not to exceed $1,500 for materials and tools
necessary for putting the Geary Building in usable condition for immediate occupancy, the carpentry classes to do
the work."
The board promptly endorsed the project. Austin
Dod·ds moved "that the building committee be authorized
to employ ·the services of an architect to examine the
Geary Building from the standpoint of safety as well as the
feasibility of spending any great amount of money for
repairs, and if that is needed, to perform the repairs."
The motion passed unanimously.
Earlier that day in an office at 77 E. Broadway, the
Eugene Vocational School opened a registration and
counseling center for some prospective students-some
as young as 14. The next day work began on the Geary
.
Building.
It needed a lot of work. Years of neglect had hurt
the old building. Windows were knocked out, shards of
glass were scattered on the floors; vandals had splashed
paint and obscentities on the walls; layers of silt and dirt
were everywhere; generations of pigeon families had left
their droppings, sometimes as much as three feet deep;
doors were off their hinges. But 0. D. Adams saw none of
the filth and damage. He only saw what it could become.
With a handful of other supporters and
organizers, Adams drove out to Fourth and Madison
Streets in the drizzle of a January afternoon to look at his
"new" building. The majestic, turreted old Geary School
stood on the corner; ·pigeons fluttered in and out of the
broken windows and called to each other from the
cupola. The place was a desolate wreck.

Lane soccer team wins 'Clash of.Titans'
by Stan Walters

TORCH Sports Writer

With one minute left in the
first half, forward Pat Bodine
slid the ball past Tacoma
College's

goalkeeper, guiding the Lane
soccer team to a 1-0 victory
over the other Titans.
"It wasn't pretty, but it

Dave Poggi, after his squad

29.
Wednesday, Sept. 26, Eric
Laakso connected for a goal
and two assists, leading Lane

to a 4-0 shellacking over the
Clackamas Community College Cougars.
The game's first fifteen
minutes were end-to-end, with
neither side taking control, until forward Gunnar Runarsson
broke the ice off an assist from
Pat Bodine at the sixteen
minute mark. One minute
later Bodine decided it was his
turn to put the ball in the net,
creating Laakso's first assist.
The rest of the first half the
Cougars tried frantically for a
goal, but were turned away by
goalkeeper Brian Burns and
Lane's tenacious defensive
play.
Clackamas came out strong

in the second half, but Lane
quickly turned it around and
scored at the 51 minute mark
by Eric Laakso, assisted by

wasn't f1mshed yet, as he guided the ball to Frank Hofford,

Serve -a- thon
serves up dollars
by Darren Foss

TORCH Sports Writer

The LCC volleyball team
had their annual Serve-a-Thon
fund raiser Monday, Oct. l,
after their regular practice.
''The girls went out and got
pledges from people for a certain amount of serves they
would hit within an hour with
a limit of 150 serves. It's an
easy fund raiser, gives us quick
money and is still related to
volleyball,''
explains
Volleyball Coach Cheryl
Brown. "And it's for a good
cause.''
The money raised is used for
shoes, tuition waivers and a second uniform which the team
uses for tournaments.

The tuition waivers are
"essential to our program for
not only psycholo,g ical
benefits but for getting special
athletes to play here. If I
didn't provide tuition waivers
half the girls wouldn't even be
here, so that's why we have
fund raisers,'' commented
Brown.

TORCH Associate Editor

The players haven't collected the money yet for this
years' Serve-a-Thon so they're
not sure exactly how much
they made. Last year the team
made $600 and is hoping to
make as much or more this
year. Fund-raisers that use the
pledge format can generally
ext,ect some pledges to go unpaid. The percentage varies
depending on the organization, the event and how loyal
supporters are. Pledges are to
be turned in by Friday.

New and improved

Waysto
Express Yourself

The New Downtown Shuttle - Just 25c
Take the Downtown Shuttle to work, school, shopping-it serves the U of 0, Sacred Heart and the
5th Avenue historic areas. It's great for those
·quick trips everywhere around downtown and it
only costs 25¢.
Improved Service for the Coburg Road Area
Routes serving Coburg Road (#60, 61, 65, 66A
and 668) are also improved. Direct service is
now available to Valley River Center and
downtown; if you live in the Coburg Road area,
you'll be able to express yourself more often.
Improved Service on Willamette Street
Willamette Street also offers better service; now
15 minute service weekdays, with the addition of
#24 Willamette. Leave the traffic behind; ride
down Willamette in style.
The Improved Thurston Route
Service from Springfield is better and faster than
ever! The Thurston route (#11) has buses leaving
every 15 minutes during the day and every half
hour during the evenings. If you 're a student at
the U of O or you work at Sacred Heart, it's the
only way to go.
As more people make the bus a part of their daily
routine, Lane Transit District will find new and
improved ways to meet the demand. LTD is trying
to make it easy to express yourself.

Whether your taste in art is
romantic or borders on the absurd, the Art Faculty Exhibition currently displayed in the
LCC art gallery is worth a
visit.
Works on display range
from a soft-edged watercolor
called ''Oregon Landscape''
by Roger McAllister to the
bizarre sculptures of Harold
Hoy.
The most prominent works
are a pair of breathtaking
sailboats constructed by
Tenold Peterson. One is fully
assembled and the other is
disassembled with the three
·B pieces nestled together in a
; group. Besides its beauty, the
8 craft is unusual because of its
! light weight -- only fifty
~ pounds.
Harold Hoy has three pieces
in the show -- two including
lizards. In "Dilemma" an
orange lizard appears to be
getting Satan's royal treatment
atop a flaming acrylic canvas.
Another lizard, this one green
and black, looks like it's making its escape from a silver and
black canvas pit. Hoy's third
work, "Ascension," is a tall
white box with a skinny, little
ladder sticking through a
cavern in the top. No lizard in
this one but I bet this ladder is
the same one that was
displayed in a New Zone
Gallery show earlier this
month. At that time, a green
lizard was trying to reach the
top of the ladder.
Other unusual works include a life-size display by
photographer David Joyce.
The display is located near the
ceiling of the gallery and is titled "Observation Deck." It
with
complete
comes
photographed decking, a large
print of a door, a disinterested
nurse with a clipboard and a
doctor who appears borderline
gleeful as if his last gig was
performinmg with the Merry
Pranksters.

of metal and wood creations.
I'd love to have the towel bar
on display (except I'd probably yank it into pieces the
first time I grabbed a towel in
a hurry). Anyway, a couple of
ducks hold the bar out from
the wall by clamping their bills
onto it and a green gem is inlaid into each end of the bar.
I'll take the four-stemmed egg
whip, too, and since Halloween is coming I'd like to use
the -br.onze keyhole mask -- if
it's okay with Dan.
Other paintings on display
include a series called
"Abacus I," "Abacus II" and
'' Abacus III'' by Mery Lynn
Mccorkle. The three small
watercolors consist, for the
most part, of intricate dot patterns in still-life format. Objects include an abacus and a
page of white helicopter
silhouettes. The bright colors
and unusual combinations of
articles demand attention.
"We All Live In Singularity," _by Rosco Wright are two
enormous oils that look like
shots from the Challenger.
Pastel colored light appears to
float through the black
masses.
Betsy Vander Schaaf' s
watercolor entitled ''Whiff,
Still Life With Cans" looks
like a painting my cats would
appreciate. I can't place the
cat pictured on one of the cans
but I think it's the Kai-Kan
cat, smiling and licking his
lips.
A bronze work by Weltzin
B. Blix, entitled "Original
Sin," might make fallen-away
viewers wonder about the
possibility of going to hell. A
religious figure (maybe a
bishop or cardinal) holds an
object in his hand that would
surely hurt if implanted in
some part of the human body.
This exhibit runs until
Oct.19. Hours are from 8 a.m.
to 10 p.m. Monday through
Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on Friday.

If Mondale can't handle college students getting on his
case at various campuses then
how does he expect to lead
America or be taken seriously
by other nations?
President Reagan has stood
up to opposition for years but
now that youth are coming
down on Mondale the ''Great

Well if that's the case then he
should get out of the kitchen!
