The Torch September 16, 1985 Page I ·Eldon Schafer dies by Ann Van Camp Associate Editor Former LCC President Eldon Schafer's died Aug. 6, in Sacred Heart Hospital, due to complications resulting from cancer treatments. A memorial service was held Aug. 7 in the LCC Performing Arts Theatre. Schafer developed acute leukemia while being treated for multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer) in 1979. Over the years, through recurring bouts of the illness, he gained a reputation for fighting hard and maintaining a positive attitude. This past April, at 63, Schafer retired from his 15-year position as LCC's president. Under his leadership, the college gained national and international recognition. Last spring, LCC was ranked third among the nation's community colleges. And a year ago Schafer was sent by the World Bank as part of a three-person international panel to help China develop polytechnic and TV universities. Schafer's abilities and accomplishments were recognized through many professional awards over the years. Perhaps the most prestigious was the 1981 Marie Y. Martin Professional Educator Award, the highest honor achieveable by a community college administrator. by Karen lnnsher TORCH Editor Eldon Schafer LCC President, 1970-1985 ~ J •_ _o_r_i_en_t_a_ti_o_n_L_:s-a~-e:-om-m-un-ity_C_oll-eg-e's........ Award Winning Student Newspaper Vol. 21, No.1 Richard M. Turner takes the helm September 16, 1985 Dr. Richard M. Turner Ill, LCC's first new president in 15 years, appears amazingly bouyant and re1axed for a man who says the only time he has to call his own falls between the hours of midnight and 5 or 6 a.m. Yet even in the most serious conversation, you can see the smile wrinkles framing his brown eyes -- clues to his ready laughter. He's busy, but rarely too busy for a chuckle. Since he became LCC's fifth president, July 15, Turner's schedule has been a constant whirl of meetings, both formal and informal. He's made it a point to have conversations with most of the employees in his building, and meetings with department heads, in addition io the regular meetings with his vice presidents. He's also explored LCC's extensive physical plant, the main campus as well as all the outreach centers. Dr. Turner spent the last six years as president of South Central Community College, in New Haven, Conn. At the beginning of his presidency, the school was 11 years old and still not accredited. After two years under his leadership the school achieved full accreditation. In that situation 'What key are you in?' by Karen lrmsher TORCH Editor Dr. & Mrs. Turner graciously allowed TORCH Editor-in-chief Karen Irmsher, and Photo Editor David Stein to invade the privacy of their home for a photo session early last week. The announced goal was to get "one good picture" for a cover photo. The living room was out of the question -an airy, light room with a fireplace, but no furniture. They'd decided to leave their old stuff behind, and wait until they had time to shop for new. Irmsher kept pushing for a piano shot, but there seemed to be some resistance to that idea. The piano bench was stacked with unsorted leftovers from the move. It looked . like the same pile that was there a week ago when she interviewed Mrs. Turner. So Stein, to break the impasse, suggested we start out with some shots on the couch in the adjoining family room. After setting up his extensive lighting system, complete with two white umbrellas, he captured them 18 times on the couch, 6 times at the window, and 10 times in the garden. Having exhausted these possibilities, they finally agreed to dust off the piano. The pictures we've printed (four out of 23), show them collaboraHng in a new age rendition of chopsticks. The shots with Dr. Turner in the foreground show him changing keys as soon as Mrs. Turner figures out • which one he is in, and grinning silently in response to her requests for the identity of the new key." He finally moved into high pitched dissonance, commenting, "That's one way to get rid of photographers." Photo by David Stein he found it necessary to make a lot of changes quickly. LCC is different in several ways. For one, it's much larger. South Central CC was one of seven colleges in a large city, with a head count of 2200 students, and a full time equivalency (FTE) of 1100. LCC is one of two colleges in a small city, and serves 32,000 students per year, with a FTE of 8000. The other major difference is that LCC is well established. In it's 20-year history LCC has received numerous honors and awards for its excellence, 1 the most recent and prestigious being selection as one of the top five community colleges in the United States by the Community College Leadership Program at the University of Texas-Austin. "It's a matter of building on a strong foundation, so you want to be careful about how you go about change,'' says Turner. "It's kind of like dominoes -- one thing affects another -- so you try to see where the connections are before you make solutions to a problem that may not really exist. "You don't want to be prejudiced by past situations. What didn't work there may work here. The key thing is whether something works." In addition to getting acquainted with LCC, Dr. Turner has been busy forging links with his new community. He's already become a board member of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Partnership, and the South Willamette Private Industry Council, among others. LCC's commitments to provide training and business support were influentual in the decision of Van Duyn chocolates to locate a large plant in Eugene, Turner is proud to say. He believes that cooperation between Lane County government, private industry and LCC can be an important factor in increasing both the effectiveness and the economic well-being of all three groups. He's not _home much, according to his wife of 28 years, Dolores Turner. "I see him at breakfast and dinner,'' she says with a laugh. And sometimes on the week-ends. Mrs. Turner has quickly landed a job as counselor at Ridgeview Elementary School in Springfield. She left behind her high school counseling job of six years to mpve to the Northwest. Prior to that job, she was a music teacher at the high school, junior high and college levels. This isn't the first time she's been uprooted by her hus- Tumer (cont. on page 11) ,..,.. -. c:1 t n Page 2 September 16, 1985 The Torch FREE FOR ALL It is a pleasure to welcome you to LCC as the College begins its twentieth year of classes. If enrollment meets predictions, you will be among some 30,000 full and part-time students in credit and non-credit classes. Please do not let that number intimidate you, however; if you are new this term, you will find faculty and staff as well as many of your fell ow students who are more than willing to help you find your way and adjust comfortably to college. We do care about you. Dr. Turner extends welcome to LCC students I, too, am new to LCC, having become the institutions's fourth president as of July 15. May the reception and caring you find here be as gratifying as the warm welcome Mrs. Turner (Dolores) and I have been afforded these past IO weeks. Since arriving in Eugene, I have been asked repeatedly to suggest what changes I have in mind for the College. My answer continues to be that I have nothing specific to share at this time. LCC already is an outstanding college, as its several high rankings nationally attest. This does not mean that there is not room for improvement. My role for the present is to get acquainted with you and others and to listen. I am encouraging those I meet to share their ideas on how we can, together, make LCC an even better postsecondary institution. I do welcome and encourage input. I may not always be able to act on the ideas presented or even to agree with all of them, but I will listen and consider them carefully. LCC has achieved a lofty status in its short lifetime. The reputation of the college in the future will depend in large measure upon your success on fulfilling your educational goals here. To your success we are deeply committed. Welcome to this phase of your adventure. We hope it is exciting and beneficial. ASLCC has new goal for 1985-86 Better Communications by Serena Brooks for the TORCH Irmsher Pie by Karen Irmsher TORCH Editor One of the privileges of editorship is the license it gives me to make occasional arbitrary decisions, like publishing my own column, for instance. What other editor is likely to print it? Why pie? Firstly, I owe a lot to pie. I was a freckled, skinny, Norman Rockwell child in my pre-pie days. My grandma used to bribe me at the rate of $1 per month to down a daily tablespoon of a thick, foul-tasting fluid called Stuart's Formula. It was supposed to help me gain weight. But relief came in the seventh grade, when I could choose what went on my school lunch tray. Pie went on mine every day. I'm still freckled, but I've been plagued by neither skinniness nor Stuart's Formula since the seventh grade, thanks to pie. Not long after that, a pie shop settled into a little storefront in a back alley of downtown Downey, California. For the first time I had a sufficiently compelling reason 1) to earn money and 2) to ride my bike to town. Pie lured me to the world of commerce and provided my first reasonable incentive for exercise. A passion such as this has the potential for self destruction. Eating pie to excess causes pain, as well as taking the fun out of mirrors. Pie has taught me selfcontrol. Some. Still, a couple times a year, I like to buy a whole pie and start in the middle, sometimes without tools. We were poor when my children were small and couldn't afford many treats. But every couple weeks, when I'd get some money, and before I'd given any thought to which bills to pay, we'd go to the pie shop. One of my fondest memories is of Kelli, aged I I /2, bellied up to the pie bar on a booster seat, eating fresh strawberry pie with a fork in one hand for the strawberries, and a spoon in the other for the whipped cream. Pie was the first word my children learned to spell. So you can see, pie has been good to me and the least I can do is give it a little free ad space while I've got the chance. Secondly, you can put anything you want between the crusts and it's still pie. (Watch this space for more Irmsher Pies.) On behalf of the Associated Students of Lane Community College -- the ASLCC -- I extend a hearty welcome to you and hope the school year proves to be a successful one for us all. On behalf of the student body, I extend a special welcome to LCC's new President, Dr. Turner, and to his wife, Dolores. The ASLCC is looking forward to working with Dr. Turner throughout the school year. I sincerely believe Dr. Turner is striving for positive changes designed for us students, as well as for the college. Because effective communication is such a high priortiy on the ASLCC's list of goals and objectives this year, student government is going through some changes of its own. In trying to obtain the much needed communication between ASLCC and you, our Student Resource Center (located on the second floor of the Center Building, in front of the library) is going through some positive changes as well. • The SRC, directed by Martin Lewis, continues to maintain bulletin boards for information on hou•sin_g, roommates, childcare, and ridesharing, besides offering general information and even someone to help answer your questions. • It offers a textbook exchange. • It offers a microwave oven in the SRC for everyone to use. • Again, we are providing free coffee and herbal tea on Wednesdays at the SRC, when ASLCC representatives, anxious to meet and talk with you, will be on hand. Bring your ideas, have a cup of coffee, and let us know what's on your mind. • We're still providing three free phones (one in front of the LCC Bookstore staircase, one in the SRC, and one on the fourth floor of the Center Building). • ASLCC information, and the agenda and whereabouts of our weekly senate meetings, are posted in the SRC, as well as in the plastic holders in the cafeteria. Come to a senate meeting and find out what your student government is doing. • There's also a suggestion box in the SRC. Express your opinions. Help us out.

Grant checks which do include NDSL will be handed out on Campus, in Apprenticeship 223, between 1:30-3:30, on Oct. 1. The Student Advisory Committee (SAC) needs members for this year. The SAC is composed of ASLCC senators and student representatives from every club and department on campus. A ballot measure in last spring's student government elections mandated this committee in order to ensure full representation of all college departments and student clubs. Peopl_e interested in representing their department or club should contact CindyWeeldreyer, Communications Director, or Deanna Bowden, ASLCC Vice President, by calling x2330 or dropping by the ASLCC office at 479 Center during registration and the first week of classes. The first general meeting is planned for the second week of classes. Knowledge will be putto the test Full-time, incoming students at LCC's main campus will soon be required to take tests in reading, writing, and mathematics prior to registration. According to Daniel Hodges, coordinator of testing, LCC is one of the last colleges in Oregon to require this sort of testing, which will . become effective at LCC beginning winter term, '85. "In the past," said Hodges, "opposition to the tests has come from some staff and administration who feared the mandatory testing would discourage students and lower enrollment at LCC." But, ''the tests are intended to help students, not discourage them, and will be administered in a reasonable manner" said Hodges, adding that the testing center will take into account students' SAT scores or prior successful college work. He emphasized that these tests in no way determine a student's acceptance by LCC, and except for some math classes and writing 121, will not hinder students from taking any class they choose." According to Hodges, the goal of the tests is that they would serve ''as a kind of early warning system." The tests, he hopes, will help students discover their strengths and weaknesses before registration, enabling them to then plan realistic academic schedules Hodges predicts mo~students will wish to take all three tests in .one sitting. Altogether, the ·tests should take no more than two hours, and will be routine in,forma- tions students may have, and to offer advice or guidance.

And he says the AIDS virus would have to be present in a sufficient quantity, then remain moist on the toilet seat, and finally enter the next user of the toilet seat through an open abrassion or mucous membrane. But, people are more likely to contract hepatitis than AIDS from using those toilet seats! Nearly 400 cases of hepatitis have been diagnosed in Lane County so far this year. "We've already more than tripled last years' cases (of . hepatitis)," says Modesitte. And he says the number of incidences rises sharply in the Spring and Fall. The most common carrier for hepatitis is fecal-oral. That means the virus is present in the feces of one victim and enters through the next victim's mouth. (You got that right -- it's GROSS!)

STOR IES 1984- 85 top story: LCCnati onally recognized by Ann Van Camp TORCH Staff Writer Accreditation LCC was reaccredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NASC) in October. The accreditation was for a ten year period. The accreditation of a college allows students to transfer 2 courses to other accredited institutions and it adds clout to two-year degrees. Although the college received a favorable report the Electronics Department was an ex- . ception. ''This department needs an infusion of new ideas and attitudes," read the criticism from NASC. Shortly after the NASC visit, Electronics Department Chairman Darwin Mccarroll resigned and counselor and CWE coordinator John Winquist was named acting chair. LCC named fifth nationally And recently, LCC was named one of the countries five outstanding community colleges in a study coordinated by Dr. Hohn Roueche, a professor at the University of Texas-Austin. LCC was picked by the national panel because it: • is recognized nationally for student success; • recruits and develops students while maintaining and improving quality (access and excellence); • has strong presidential leadership, especially towards instruction; and • selects, evaluates, and rewards exceptional teaching in keeping with the comprehensive mission of the community college. Gift and guest speaker highlight birthday celebration by Ellen Platt 1984-85 TORCH Associate Editor LCC celebrated its 20th birthday last year, and although the official birth-· day party was March 1, gifts and awards began arriving as early as last • • September. On Sept. 20, 1985, LCC Art Instructor Tenold Peterson and seven art students presented Lane with a 20 by 25 foot stained glass mural called "Islands of Memory." The mural -- which took 18 months and 10,000 hours of donated labor to complete -- now graces the east entrance of the Center • Building. The group donated the window to the college partly because of its affiliation with LCC, and partly because the building was large enough to accomodate the mural. Donations of $4,500 from the public, private groups, the LCC Development Fund, and the ASLCC government paid for the materials. At the college's birthday celebration, keynote speaker Dale Parnell -- LCC's first president from 1965-68 -- looked at LCC's beginnings, and reflected on what he would have done differently. His reflections included: • Stressing graduation requirements for LCC grads, so high school students would expect to perform quality work at the community college level and in preparation for college and careers. • Establishment of a connection with local high schools emphasizing the development of math and science-based technologies to promote information usage in the emerging high tech society, and the development of a Tech-Prep Associate Degree. • A closer partnership between business and LCC, so the college could get mini-grants to allow the college to develop programs with businesses, unions, and high schools.· 4 Dept . of .Education cl3.iffis LCC owes $450,0 00 ~- and more by Lisa Zimmerman TORCH Associate Editor 3 Schafe r ends 15 year tenure by Jackie Barry TORCH Editor '84-'85 After 15 years as LCC's fourth president, Dr. Eldon Schafer retired at the end of April. His successor is Dr. Richard Turner, formerly president of South Central Community College in New Haven, Connecticut. Turner is the first black president of a public college .in the state of Oregon. Schafer helped establish a national reputation for Lane during his tenure. The prestigious League for Innovation invited LCC to join its ranks, providing what Schafer described as "a national window from the Northwest," and providing outsiders with the opportunity to learn that LCC does ''some fascinating things.'' Schafer also had the idea for the Business Assistance Center which developed into an LCC administered state Business Development Network and meant the difference between red and black ink for many local business owners. In October of 1982 and again in 1984 the World Bank invited Schafer to visit the People's Republic of China on "appraisal missions" to help that country determine what equipment and facilities it needed to begin a national network of polytechnic colleges. Schafer also started the campus Productivity Center and College Cabinet Meetings which bolster productivity and communication between groups on campus. Eldon Schafer will be a hard act to follow. In June of 1984, LCC received a bill from the US Department of Education (USDE) for $427,234 -- an amount which it calculated it had overpaid LCC for the and Share" "Fair ''Conditional Guarantee'' monies which LCC Financial Aid dispersed to eligible students during 1979, 1980, and 1981. By last spring, the Torch reported that the original debt had climbed to $447,234 and will continue to grow at the rate of 9 percent per month on the accumulating balance until some resolution is reached. As of this week, the bad news is -- the amount LCC owes the USDE has now reached over $450,000. The good news -- there is now a resolution in sight. According to Director of Linda WadFinancial Aid dell, in July senators from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho met with Secretary of Education William Bennett to express concern about the unwillingness of the USDE to seek reasonable solutions to this problem. As a result of this meeting, Bennett agreed, in wntmg, to seek an expedient resolution to the problem, and has since assigned a government task force to review "creative solutions". The controversy centers around student financial aid files that are no longer in existence. These are files of students who applied for financial aid between 1977-80 but who, because of a lack of funds, did not receive any aid. Although these students tav-w7 ..,;, -- ---- --- 'W ~ '- .._ - ._, ~ ~ received no aid, LCC counted them on the application for funds from th~ USDE to show the need for additional funding in the future. At that time, said Waddell, regulations required the college save only the files of those students who did receive aid. But the USDE has now chang- ed that policy and maintains that if LCC cannot produce the terminated files, then they will be treated as though they never existed. On Oct. 14, Waddell and Vice President for Student Services Jack Carter will travel to Washington D. C. to meet with the task force, on Oct. 16-17, and p'resent what LCC considers to be a reasonable alternative: using student financial aid files that do still exist from 1977-80 and subsequent years, show by comparison and statistical inference that LCC's original request for funding was reasonable. According to Waddell, the major obstacles blocking a solution to the controversy is the USDE's refusal to admit publicly that the files did exist, and acknowledge that part of the fault for the confusion rests with the USDE, due to a lack of instruction given to the college about the program. Once the USDE acknowledges this fact, a solution should follow. The Department of Education will give LCC its decision in October, and it is Waddell's hope that the problem will then, finally, by resolved. The Torch September 16, 1985 Page 7 s TOP 5 Board vote favors increase in tuition and fees Students began paying more money to attend LCC starting Summer Term 1985 as a result of the college,s 1984-85 decision to raise tuition and student body fees, and to add a new graduation fee. The increases are expected to generate $240,000 per year. Tuition Increases • Last April the LCC Board of Education voted to raise tuition to $19 per credit hour from the previous $18. • Full-time Oregon residents began paying · $209 per term, instead of $198. • Tuition will remain the same for out-of-state residents -- $75 per credit hour, or $825 for full-time status. • Community Education and High School completion course fees will be $30 for 30-clock hour courses, as opposed to $27 for the same course. But vice President of Student Services Jack Carter stated there will be some ad justments made to Community Education course tuition (such as Court Reporting) so that full-time students wouldn,t pay more than the $209 full-time rate. Students approved a ballot measure in May to increase the student body fee from $3 to $5 per term for credit, main-campus students. The added funds will finance ASLCC services which formerly were paid for with monies from the school General Fund and student body fees. Totals had dropped due to lower enrollments in past years: The ASLCC had received $9,509 from the General Fund until 1984-85, then the amount was gradually cut to zero funding. The ASLCC expects to administer a budget of just under $90,000 in the 1985-86 school year. Graduation Fee makes LCC occesso ble from east 1984-85 TORCH Editor "It appears that correction of the long-standing problem of the east access to the colleg~ is finally within our grasp,,, wrote Lane County Director of Public Works JQhn Goodson to retired President Eldon Schafer in the late spring of 1985. The McVay Highway-30th Avenue access problems were finally resolved when Lane County officials offered to fund construction of a new road on the east border of LCC's property. The contracted completion date is mid October. The new road will replace access by Alvey Substation Road which will be blocked off when the construction is complete . . McVay Highway and 30th Avenue intersected before LCC was built and the college campus had to be incorporated into the access configuration. The result was Eastway Drive, branching off the Alvey Substation Road to provide access to the college,s east and south parking lots. But the result was congestion. The proximity of the Alvey Substation Road entrance to the 1-5 on-ramp and the McVay Highway-30th A venue intersection created hazards, especially during heavy college traffic periods. For years, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. it has been illegal to turn right onto 30th Avenue from the stop sign at the end of McVay Highway. According After suffering through numerous transmitter failures, and more than a year of planning and fundraising to correct the problems, KLCC-FM staffers purchased and installed a new transmitter during Fall Term 1984. The station now broadcasts an 86,000 watt signal, up from the previous 30,000. Last year, the Graduation Committee voted to charge a $10 graduation fee when students apply for graduation in the 1985-86 school year. This is the first time a graduation fee will be charged at LCC. The fee will cover programs, diplomas and covers, rental of caps and gowns, as well as costs for special personnel, music and decorations. 7 New 30th Avenue offramp by Jackie Barry 6 Student Body Fee Increase to the Oregon State Highway patrol, more than a dozen tickets a _day are issued because of illegal U-turns at this intersection. Periodic accidents occur, as well. A "legal" entrance requires drivers to turn right in a special turning lane, and after traveling a quarter mile down 30th A venue, making a legal, but often risky U-turn. Dozens of alternatives had been considered by the county and the Oregon State Highway Department over the years with the final acceptable decision approved by all parties last spring. The county will fund the building of the new road on LCC's east property line, and LCC will provide an easement for the county road and will KLCC-FM • increases watts in ~85 Station Manager Jon Schwartz -says the station didn,t spend more than the budgeted amount and gave credit to KLCC engineer Steve Barton for the good management.

According to Goodson the new road will be "a road with a full asphalt concrete overlay as opposed to a double shot oil surface." This is a higher cost road surface and should not require maintenance for 15 or 20 years. Goodson also stated this was not an easy decision for the Board of County Commissioners to make because LCC is considered a single-user and the county ordinarily doesn ,t fund single-user projects. •8 Committee helps make improvements in basement by Ellen Platt TORCH Associate Editor '84-'85 In June, representatives from the Basement Planning 9 Committee (BPC) and Paul Colvin, director of Campus Services, met to discuss the progress of alterations in the Myers withdraws, Curry narrowly wins . to keep board position by Sharen Hulegaard TORCH Staff Writer In the March, 1985 election, ASLCC Vice President Meredeth Myers came surprisingly close to upsetting Charlene Curry, who had served on the board for nine years. Despite the fact that Myers had publically announced her withdrawal from the race, her decision came too late for official deletion from the ballot, and she earned 10,293 votes to Curry's winning tally of 12,543. Myers refused to stat~ specific reasons for running against. Curry because she hopes to work with Curry in the future. However, Myers has plans to run again for a board position. '' I really wanted that position, but the timing wasn't right," she said. Center Building basement. Employee concern over health and safety issues in their work environment led to the formation of the BPC -com posed of LCC staff members who work in the basement -- which presented these concerns to the LCC Facilities Committee in October of '84. The June meeting focused on four areas still of concern to the BPC: The installation of ventilation hoods over the printing equipment in the Printing and Graphics area; scheduling another air quality test by the Accident Prevention Division of the Oregon Worker,s Compensation Division (OWCP); hiring an outside research expert to study employee health complaints and determine if there is any connection between symptoms -- such as headaches and nausea -- and chemicals in the work environment; and the installation of battery powered emergency lighting in the basement. Colvin reported that a new air test would be conducted when Printing and Graphics was in full operation during the summer. He added that although some of the concerns about the p_erformance of the first tests on Nov. 26 were invalid, the college "will have them (the OWCD representatives) back again if there are still concerns.'' Trisha Mcdonald, an operator in Word Processing and a member of the BPC, says they requested that a qualified researcher study the work environment and employee health complaints. She adds "I think that'll make people feel better, and ease their minds. Another item discussed was the installation of lighting that would function in the event of a blackout. McDonald says enclosed, windowless areas of the basement are completely dark, and others are "real dark" when the lights are out. In the fall of '84 the BPC submitted a list of changes they wanted to see in the basement environment to the Facilities Committee. The issues focused on air and water quality, safety concerns, and space allocation. The following problems have been solved or were in process at the end of the spring term: • Concern over the use and affect of chemicals -- particularly solvent used to clean the presses -- led to our testing in November of '84. Although the tests performed by the Ac~ cident Prevention Division of the OWCD revealed acceptable levels of chemicals in the air, plans were made to design and install two ventilation hoods in the Printing and . Graphics area during the summer.

Under Tornblom's guidance the team made it to the state playoffs in its second year of play, where it tied for seventh place. Tornblom now assumes the part-time position as LCC volleyball coach, while he continues working towards his doctorate in physical education at the University of Oregon. He earned a bachelor's degree in health and physical education at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., ·a nd a masters from the University of Colorado. He says athletic endeavors should be-- first -- educational for the students involved, and -- second-- rewarding to the students in terms of their fulfillment of personal goals and enjoyment. Thirdly, there should be an effort toward excellence. '' I understand the team was quite good last year, meaning it can have an advanced offense this year. . . .

Other freshman include a duo from Pleasant Hill: Janet Baltzer, ( the tallest player onthe team at 5' 10") a middle blocker, and Diane Greenwood (5'7") who will anchor the back row as a hitter. Tracy Ptomey (5'6" from Gilchrist High in Bend) will share time with the Pleasant Hill women as a hitter. The tea~ is pretty much set at this point. With only 11 women on the . team no one will be cut. Coach Tomblom has already lost one player to injury. Leslie Snuggerud's "previous back injury developed into a serious enough situation that it was unhealthy for her to continue," admits Tornblom regretfully. This leaves a spot open on the team and Coach Tornblom is willing to take on a couple more players who fit his description: "We don't intend to allow any more local players to join the team, but if there are some players from out-of-town or the immediate area or local players who have been working out of state come back when school starts we might accept them and they would have a chance to try and join the squad ... we want one more player, I need at least 12. '' So if anyone fits his description and wants to join the team come to the daily practice sessions between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the LCC main gym. "We'll be a good team, I won't predict what record we'll have but we'll be a top contender and make things exciting. This team has the potential to win the league title,'' concluded Tornblom.

She enjoys the adventure of a new place, and says '' I tend to make friends pretty easily.'' When the Turners met in 1953, they were both music majors at Fisk University, in Nashville, Tenn. They married in 1957. Although both of them were music teachers for many years, they no longer teach music, and rarely play. They still enjoy a good concert, however, and plan to frequent the Hult Center. Although the two now live further from their 23-year-old daughter Edris Tucker's family in Cleveland, Ohio, the move brought them closer to their son Michael, 26, who lives in Fountain Valley, Cal. Mrs. Turner stayed in Cleveland to help out with her new granddaughter, Rachel, for a month while Dr. Turner drove to Eugene to settle into their new home in the Oakway area of Eugene. Turner's father, Richard M. Turner II, is currently visiting with the Turners. He's recovering from the injuries of an automobile accident and related medical complications. Mrs. Turner enjoys spec- --Backstage tator sports -- especially those with anything that can be thrown~ hit, rolled or bounced. Dr. Turner, when he does get some leisure time, likes to play with his Digital Rainbow 100 computer. And, says Mrs. Turner, "We walk." But during most of his waking hours, Dr. Turner can be found in his office on the second floor of the Administrative Building, working to meet the needs of a very demanding job. "The challenge is in continuing to motivate the faculty and staff to be as creative and exciting as they have been," he says. "It's an exciting challenge." Basement (cont. from page 7) BPC requested another round of testing at the June meeting. Colvin reported they would be scheduled during the summer, when production activity in Printing and Graphics is high. • Sediment was discovered in the water of a drinking fountain installed last fall. Although tests revealed no contamination of the water the pipes were flushed and th; fountain was left running con- stantly for a time to insure its purity. • Directories, no smoking signs, and emergency instructions for evacuating the basement were posted. • To reduce the amount of diesel fumes drawn into the building's ventilation system, truck drivers were asked not to idle their motors while loading and unloading near the cafeteria. Plans to extend the air intake vent are currently stalled, but Colvin says the temporary solution seems to have solved the problem. • The BPC requested that a light system connected to the fire alarms be installed in Printing and Graphics. At the June meeting, the BPC asked that a battery powered emergency lighting system be developed for the qasement in case of power failures. Colvin said the problem was being examined by college electricians at that time. • A student phone was removed from the basement. The BPC proposed a little used student area in the basement be reallocated to various departments. No formal request for space reallocation has been submitted, and the study area remains. •. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . , . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A9;_egon f_!f\ Supply STORE WIDE SEPT.30th THRU OCT.9th IAV~ ·------------ART & DRAFT I NG SUPPLIES FOR THE STUDENT AND PROFESSIONAL --- 776 E. 13 TH ST.
