LCC to purchase
new phone system
by Karen lrmsher
TORCH Editor
The LCC Board of Education authorized the purchase of a
·phone system, rather than continuing to lease, at. its regular
monthly meeting, Wednesday, Jan. 15. The board also received a preliminary report that Winter Term enrollment is below
projections, and board members approved an academic
calendar for 1986-87.
The decision to purchase a phone system came after months of study by staff and the board. They were advised by The
Compass Consulting Group, hired by a consortium of
twenty-two local public and government entities to identify
common telephone system problems and goals.
The Dimension 2000 system the college currently leases has
been costing the college $4,700 per month, but needs equipment upgrades which would up that figure to $5,700.
The purchase price of the agreed upon NEAX 2400 system,
purchased outright, is ,$342,700. Financed over a seven-ye~
period at a rate between 8 and 9 percent, the mont~ly cost
will come to approximately $5,710 per month, according to a
memorandum from Vice President Qf Administrative Services, Bill Berry, proposing the change.
However, maintenance, estimated at an additional
$18,000-$20,000 annually, after expiration of the one-year
warranty, would add a new expense. Maintenance could
come to a maximum of $120,000 over the remaining six years
of the purchase loan, putting the total cost at $599,640.
The expense of upgrading and operating our current
system for the next seven years (not taking into account additional upgrades it might need several years down the road),
calculated from figures in Berry's report, totals out at
$478,800. Although the cost is less, the. c~rre~t system_ lacks
the flexibility for expanded data transnussion inherent in the
new system. An array of othei: additional desireable
(unspecified in Berry's written report) features are also
available in the new system.

This Monday; Jan. 20, marks the first nationwide observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This new federal (and
now state) holiday, passed by Congress, honors the 57th anniversary of King's birth, which actually falls on Jan. 15. _
Apply/or
King's background in theology and Baptist ministry, combined with the influence of Mahatma Gandhi and King's own
charisma to make him the most influential non-violent civil
rights leader of all time.
financial
aid today
To state his impact simply: Using non-violent tactics, he effectively raised the country's awareness of social and legal injustices, including institutionalized racial discrimination; he
mobilized concerned black and white Americans to protest,
demonstrate, and refuse to obey unjust laws; he taught black
people to take pride in their race and their culture. And he
awakened a national consciousness in misplaced national
priorities which allocate huge sums of money to the military
but ignore the poverty of millions of minorities.

Why cyclists brave that hill
by James Thaxton
TORCH Staff Writer
Believe it or not, some
students regularly ride their
bikes to LCC.
Having tried it once
myself, I wondered why
anyone would do it twice, Is
there something to be
gained from a grueling 45
minute ride over a two-milelong hill through Eugene's
mid-Janua!Y fog at eight in
the morning?
Although it sounds like
semi-masochistic behavior to
this reporter, some students
think it's the perfect way to
start off the day. I decided
to ask them why . .
Money was the numberone motivating factor on the
list of bicycling rationale.
Bike riders say they save
between $30 and $50 per
month.

King linked militaris m, human rights issues
Excerpted by
Lisa Zimmerman
TORCH Associate Editor
On April 4, 1967, exactly one year
before his murder, Martin Luther
King, Jr. was named Co-Chairman
of the Clergy and Laymen Concerned about Vietnam, and on that occasion delivered "Beyond Vietnam"
at Rivenide ·Church in New York
City.
This was his first major speech on
the war, and became the focus of a
growing awareness of the link between militarism abroad and human
rights at home. Almost 20 years
later, the timelessness of these
words is striking - how little things
change. The following are excerpts
from that speech.
... as I have moved to break the
betrayal of my own silences and to
speak from the burnings of my own
heart, as I have called for radical
departures from the destruction of
Vietnam, many persons have questioned me about the wisdom of my
path. At the heart of their concerns
this query has often loomed large
and loud: Why are you speaking
about the war, Dr. King? Why are
you joining the voices of dissent?
Peace and civil rights don't mix, they
say. Aren't you nurting the cause of
your people, they ask?
And when I hear them, though I
often understand the sources of their
concern, I am nevertheless greatly
saddened, for such questions mean
that the inquirers have not really
known me, my commitment or my
calling. Indeed, their questions suggest that they do not know the world
in which they live.
As I have walked among the
desperate, rejected and angry young
men, I have told them that Molotov
cocktails and rifles would not solve
their problems. I have tried to offer
them my deepest compassion while
maintaining my conviction that
social change comes most meaningfully through non-violent action .
But they asked -- and rightly so -what about Vietnam? They asked if
our nation wasn't using massive
doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it
wanted. Their questions hit home,
and I knew that I could never again
raise my voice against the violence of
the oppressed in the ghettos without
having first spoken clearly to the
greatest purveyor of violence in the
world today -- my own government.
For the sake of those boys, for the
sake of this government, for the sake
of the hundreds of the thousands
trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.
. . . I believe that the Father is deeply
concerned especially for his suffering and helpless and outcast
children, I come tonight to speak for
them.
This I believe to be the privilege
and the burden of all of us who
deem ourselves bound by
allegiances and loyalties which are
broader and deeper than nationalism and which go beyond our
nation's self-defined goals and positions. We are called to speak for the
weak, for the voiceless, for victims of
our nation and for those it calls
enemy, for no document from
human hands can make these
humans any less our brothers.
Somehow this madness must
cease. We must stop now ... I speak
for those whose land is being laid
waste, whose homes are being
destroyed, whose culture is being
subverted. I speak for the poor of
America who are paying the double
price of smashed hopes at home and
death and corruption in Vietnam. I
speak as a citizen of the world, for
"the world as it stands aghast at the
path we have taken. I speak as an
American to the leaders of my own
nation. The great initiative in this
war is ours. The initiative to stop it
must be ours.
In 1957 a sensitive American official overseas said that it seemed to
him that our nation was on the
wrong side of a world revolution ... I
am convinced that if we are to get on
the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a
radical revolution of values. We
must rapidly begin the shift from a
"thing-oriented" society to a
"person-oriented" society. When
machines and computers, profit
motives and property rights are considered more important than people,
the giant triplets of racism,
materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
A true revolution of values will
soon look uneasily on the glaring
contrast of poverty and wealth. With
righteous indignation, it will look
across the seas and see indiviual
capitalists of the West investing
huge sums of money in Asia, Africa
and South America, only to take the
profits out with no concern for the
social betterment of the countries,
and say: "This is not just." The
Western arrogance of feeling that it
has everything to teach others and
nothing to learn from them is not
just.
A true revolution of values will lay
hands on the world order and say of
war: "This way of settling differences is not just." .. . A nation
that continues year after year to
spend more money on military
defense than on programs of social
uplift is approaching spiritual death.
This kind of positive revolution of
Graphic by Nick Skoog
values is our best defense against
Communism. War is not the answer.
Communism will never be defeated
by the use of atomic bombs or
nuclear weapons.
A genuine revolution of values
means, in the final analysis, that our
loyalties must become ecumenical
rather than sectional. Every nation
must now develop an overriding
loyalty to mankind as a whole in
order to preserve the best in their individual societies.
We are now faced with the fact
that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of
now. In this unfolding conundrum
of life and history there is such a
thing as being too late ... Life often
leaves us standing bare, naked and
dejected with a lost opportunity.
The "tide in the affairs of men" does
not remain at the flood; it ebbs. We
may cry out desperately for time to
Computer
purchase is
questionable
State governm ent ravages
a mom's education
Dear Editor,
Most folks who read ''The
TORCH" a few weeks ago
may recall the article concerning the student goverm~nt' s proposal to buy a
computer for ASLCC administrative use. This idea
looks like it is a good cause
that could possibly benefit
every student on campus in
some way. However, the
price tag for a computer is a
big one which needs to be
addressed appropriately.
Also, this new computer
would serve the convenience
of the student senators, .more
than anything else, by making their work simpler, and
in actuality, would not
directly affect the general
student population here at
LCC.
Is the purchase of convenience more important to the
student senators than the
needs of the major student
population? I just wonder
where
the
ASLCC's
priorities are today? Many
other areas .need to be explored to resolve the convenience computer problem as
well as better ways to serve
the needs of the student
populace of Lane Community College.

Dear Editor:
I can't stand it any more! I
read an article in the Nov. 22
TORCH titled, "Marked for
Assassination" and felt like
screaming. No, not about
their tragedy, horrifying as it
is, but about a statement in
that article.
In the fourth paragraph, a
sentence
reads
as
follows:'' ... but under the
current government, a col•
lege education is considered
subversive for a person who
is not of the moneyed class.''
Yes, I am screaming about
that statement because it
sounds like our own state
legislature.
I am receiving ADC (Aid to
Dependant Children) while
attending LCC' s graphics
program. I also receive PELL,
Supplementary and OSN
grants. I'm grateful to the
federal government for these
grants, but something really
stupid is happening here.
To receive my ADC grant
and without sanctioning
myself (rent and bills could
not be paid if I sanction
myself), I am forced to do
whclt is called a "job search."
This involves 10 in-person
job contacts per week with
the minimum of one filledout application. If hired, I am
to take the job or my ADC
benefits will be cut off.
I'm stuck between a rock
and a hard place. I finish
school in June, but Welfare is
pushing very hard to get me
(and other women in the
same situation) out of school
and into a $3.35-an-hour job,
NOW!
"'
Where am I supposed to
find the time to go to school,
work full-time and be mom
to my two boys, and do all of
this to the top of my abilities?
It is ridiculous. I want to
finish sctiool. 1
Hopefully, I'll find a higher
paying job after I graduate
than I could before my
education. The federal
government says, "a mind is
a terrible thing to waste,"
and makes single moms on
welfare top priority for
school grants. Yet the state
legislature is trying their
damdest to force ADC moms
into low paying jobs with
which we would still be
somewhat dependent on the
welfare system, i.e., food
stamps, medical cards or partial grant checks.
I've been to Legal Aid;
they can't help. We cannot
change the system as the
legislature does not meet
again until 1987. My educa-
tion and the chance to make
the most of myself in this
society is MARKED FOR
ASSASSINATION by our
state government. I've been
working my butt off for a
good job and someone is
kicking •me in the YOU

Robert Ward, ASLCC
Treasurer, discovered a
mistake in a statement he
made about LCC' s participation in last year's Oxfam fundraiser.
In the story, Ward said that
last year's ASLCC raised
$250 and this year hoped to
double that figure. He later
discovered that he had been
thinking of the "World

Ward says ASLCC only raised $30 for Oxfam last year.

deaf to every plea and rushes on.
Over the bleached bones and jumbled residue of numerous civilizations
are written the pathetic words: "Too
late."
Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and
bitter -- but beautiful -- struggle for a
new world ... Shall we say the odds
are too great? .. . the struggle is too
hard? Will our message be that the
forces of American life militate
against (the struggle) . . . and we
send our deepest regrets? Or will
there be another message, of longing, of hope, of solidarity with our
yearnings, of commitment to the
cause, whatever the cost? The choice
is ours, and though we might prefer
it otherwise we must choose in this
crucial moment of human history.

Mechanics Department receives training equipment
I
by Ann Van Camp
TORCH Feature Editor
For students studying auto
repair in LCC' s Mechanics
Department, getting handson experience is the heart of
the program. But obtaining
up-to date equipment has
become a real challenge.
At a time when LCC
budgetary cutbacks are common place, some departments, like Mechanics, are
still able to provide students
with new training equipment
by putting extra effort into
soliciting donations. This
enables mechanics students
to continue to get the vocational training one would expect of LCC' s status as the
third-ranked college in the
nation.
According to Department
head Ted Kotsakis, the most
recent donation came from
the Ford Motor Company.
"We're a satellite training
center for Ford, and they
bring their own company
trainers to LCC to train their
mechanics.'' Kotsakis says
that he and other department
members solicited donations

visiting Ford company
trainers.
Along with several fourcylinder engines, Ford
donated automatic transmissions and standard transmis-
sions. Kotsakis says the
department is currently
negotiating for a whole 1986
Mecury.
''It'll give the students
some state-of-the-arts equipment to work on,'' says Kotsakis.
The newly donated
engines are free-standing
and completely functional.
Kotsakis says one teaching
process is to set up problems
in the various pieces of
equipment and let the
students tear them down to
locate the trouble.
Kotsakis says the program
pays off. Graduates enter the
mechanics trade as apprentice level technicians.
''If they' re really good,
they get to journeyman level
in a short time.'' And
Kotasakis says the department can place about 98 percent of its graduates,
'' especially if they' re willing
to leave the area.''
Kotsakis says the department has worked with Datsun, Toyota and General
Motors in the past. He says
the companies have donated
everything from parts to
whole vehicles.
''We do a lot of liaison
work and we encourage our
instructors to go out and
make contacts. And we do a
huge mailout requesting
donations, grants, and
equipment."
Kotsakis sums up the success with Ford Motor Company's donation and others
by explaining, "We've made
it a real practice to work as
closely as possible with industry."

It wasn't until 1978 that it

Where Ar~ The Writers?
Such a large magazine is
unlikely to happen this year,
according to Park. He says
Denali has received fewer
submissions this year than
last, and last year wasn't a
bumper year, either. In his
opinion, the decline is attributable to two main factors.
The first has to do with the
reduced number of creative
writing classes. LCC had
seven such classes during the
1979-80 scholastic year, but
now offers only two.

"probably has a lot to do
with the economy.'' His
theory is that there are

precedence over their need

not a professional publication. We' re not going to tum
anyone down because their
work is not of professional

In fact, that's the point. He
says the principa 1 desire of
the Denali staff is to help
students develop their
creative writing skills. Park
adds that even if writers'

Park sees Denali as an opportunity for writers to experience the struggles and
benefits that accompany professional writing. Park also
encourages creative writing
teachers at LCC to use Denali
as an example.
The Fall 1985 issue of
Denali is a fine example of
the types of writing Denali
work, though the main push
is in writing. An application
for submission must be filled
out for all pieces of work.
Applications are located at
the Denali office, Center 479,
in the same suite of offices as

Park says that while
students may find the office

LCC's Work Activity
Center (WAC) has grown
from 7 to 32 clients in the 13
years since it began, says
Howard Bird, WAC director.
WAC offers vocational
rehabilitation to functionally
retarded adults, whose ages
average from the midtwenties to the mid-thirties.
Trainees learn skills needed
for community jobs outside
of the sheltered employment. "Last year," says
Bird, "Five were placed in
full employment."
LCC has entered into a
contract arrangement with
the Lane County Mental
Health Commission for staff
salaries and the administrative costs of the
center. In exchange, the
WAC provides a training
program which includes
work in six small businesses
run by the center. The work
sites are self-supporting,
paying for the cost of their
operations and students'
salaries. . Trainees are paid
based on the work they accomplish, according to Bird.
The six small businesses
are the LCC Downtown
Center's
deli;
the
dishwashing operaton with
the LCC (main campus)
cafeteria; upkeep on an I-5
rest area; bulk mailing and
packaging at the LCC
Downtown Center office;
and small assembly and
paper recycling operations,
also at the Downtown
Center.
The Downtown deli
employs five to eight trainees
at one time, says Trainer
Tom Tennent. Trainees handle such tasks as food
preparation, bussing, taking
orders, and cleaning. Tennent says the deli is open to
anyone, not just staff and
students.
Staff from the WAC enjoyed running a food booth
at the Eugene Celebration
this year. Bird says the firsttime effort was worth all the
work, and he plans to do it
again next year.
KLCC'snew
broadcast tower
will cost $20,000.
by Mary Hunt
TORCH Staff Writer
KLCC has to build a new,
higher broadcast tower and
was recently awarded a
$2,000 grant from The
Oregon Community Foundation to help build it.
The money will provide
approximately 10 percent of
the estimated $20,000 the
new tower will cost, according to promotions director,
Denny Guehler. Guehler
was informed of the grant
award during the station's
fall radiothon.
Studies have shown that
radio .frequency (rf) radiation
can be injurious to people.
So in order to comply with
new Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines, KLCC's tower
must be higher, and thus further from residences.
•
Guehler points out that the
money recently raised in the
radiothon is for general
operation expenses, and an
additional fundraising campaign will be necessary to
raise funds for relocating the
tower.
Steve Barton, chief
engineer at KLCC, says that
although t~e paperwork is
already underway, the move
won't take place until March
of 1987. The project will be a
joint venture with other stations which must also comply with the new FCC regulations.
One bonus to all this adds
Barton, is that the higher
location of the tower may increase KLCC' s power considerably.

Land-water relationships
and interior studies are principal themes in a current art
exhibit, which features the
work of Eugene artists Ralph
Baker and Ron Graff.
Running from Jan. 6-30,
the exhibit is located at the
LCC Art Gallery, in the
Art/Math Building. Hours
are: Monday-Thursday, from
8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Ralph Baker has been an
Associate Professor of Art at
the U of O since 1970. He
received a master of fine arts
degree at the University of
Washington in 1964. Baker
also has studied art informally in his travels to the Near
East and Western Europe in
1950-52, and 1960-61, and in
Mexico in 1977 and 1984.
Baker has participated in 14
one-man shows, and 40
selected group exhibits. His
most recent individual showing was at Lawrence Gallery,
in Portland, in 1983, and his
most recent group exhibit
was in the ''Visual Arts Symposium '84" (invitational), in
Eugene.
"I'm interested in spectral
light," says Baker, • "light
from everywhere." He explores light in studi~s of the
coastal atmosphere and landwater relationships, such as
in his piece titled ''White
Tide.''
Usually he bases his paintings on his reactions to
places he really likes, says
Baker. Many, such as the
"Red Barge," with its intense reds and deep blues,
are recreated from memory.
Co-exhibitor Ron Graff is
currently an assistant professor in Painting and Drawing at the U of O, a position
he's held since 1981. He
received a master of fine arts
degree at Yale University's
School of Art in 1975, where
as teaching assistant to Professor Bernard Chaet he
taught undergraduate drawing.

''Mime" troupe mixes politics and comedy
by Karen Irmsher
TORCH Editor
"Crossing Borders, A
Domestic Farce," The latest
theatrical offering of the San
Francisco Mime Troupe, will
be presented Wednesday,
Jan. 22, 7:30 p.m. at the Condon School Gymnasium. The
troupe's current performance explores issues in the
sanctuary movement.
According to its press
packet:
the loving couple just happens to be gay, and it's
bound to be a lively show.
Although the word
"mime" implies silence, this
is not a silent group. According to the troupe's press
packet, to say the troupe
mimics life is more accurate.
Music and dance are an integral part of each presentation. The troupe, established
in 1959, mixes comedy with a
variety of formats (sci-fi,
melodrama, western, tv sitcom, mystery).
The main ingredient is one
loving couple -- a welladjusted city bus driver who
wants to relax after a hard
day behind the wheel, and a
likeable political activist.
Add: one Salvadoran
refugee, seeking political
sanctuary from his war-torn
homeland and safety from
the U.S. immigration service.
Toss in: three of his
relatives -- a zany cousin, an
uncle on-the-run, and his
mother.

See Jackson, page 10
(This is the third and final part of the history of the Titan
nickname, commemorating its 20th birthday this year.)
Knowing the history of the Titan is not enough. The
question arises in what does a Titan look like?
David Spriggs, an architectural draftsmen
from Cottage Grove, was
selected by President
Dale Parnell in 1965 to
draw up the original
Titan mascot. After looking through a Greek
mythology book to get
-ideas, and 21 hours of
work, Spriggs submitted
his drawings.
Spriggs realized that
because the Titan was
mythical he couldn't put
a face on it, for no one
really knows what a titan
looks like. So he drew his
version of the Titan with
a metal helmet over his
head with some versions

Titan mascot
mythical horse, Pegasis.
In 1966, after the ground-laying work of Spriggs, Parnell
contacted commercial artist Dale Cooley to draw cartoon
sketches of the Titan for the Student Handbook. In 1967,
LCC conducted a Spring Term contest designing the Titan.
This added more versions of the Titan. The official Titan
design, (included in this column), was one of the students'
drawings and was used on the college's original note pads.
Howev,er, this drawing does not look like the definition of
a titan which has them as a gigantic powerful person. Instead, the students sought a more ''human, warm'' version of the Titan.
Now you know the unique history of how Lane became
the Titans and everything you'd ever want to know about
our beloved Titan nickname and mascot.
The Titan mascot has virtually faded away, a new contest
should be developed to design a Titan for the 1980s. One
that fits the definition of a true powerful Titan. The mascot
should be brought back to life and be more than just a
name. The first 20 years have been great, as far as
academics along with athletics, may things be just as good,
if not better, in the next 20 years as the Titans enter a new

Titan women drop
to 1-2 in league
by Michael Spilman
TORCH Sports Writer
Sometimes things "don't
work out" even when they
seem to be '' going so well.''
That's what happened to the
LCC women's basketball
team last week.
The Southwestern Oregon
CC (SWOCC) Lakers nipped
the Titan women by two
points, 66-64, in Lane's second game of the league
season, on Wednesday, Jan.
8, at Lane Community College.
Then on Friday, Jan. 10,
the Mt. Hood CC Saints
hosted the Titan women in
Gresham, Ore. And happy
hosts they were as they
outgunned the Titans 74-57.
After momentarily holding
a nine-point lead, the Mt.
Hood Saints revved up a rally with eight minutes to go,
and at that point the Titans
were not able to gather the
momentum they needed to
mount a comeback-victory.
The Saints' victory was
assisted by Lane's 25 turnovers and the fact that,
"they were a half-step
quicker than us," said Head
Coach Dave Loos.
Nicki Essman was quick on
the boards, pulling down 15
rebounds and scoring 11
points. Christi Viltz was
Lane's top scorer with 18
points. Essman and Kari
Hennon scored in double
figures with 11 points each.
The loss dropped the Titans'
league record to 1-2 and
overall record to 8-7.
In the SWOCC game, the
Titan Women did a poor job
of "blocking out" the Lakers
under the boards, says Loos.
Acc~rding to Loos, the
Lakers had more offensive
rebounds than defensive

rebounds--and "that hurts."
Rebounds or not, the
Titans did some good
shooting. Essman was LCC's
leading scorer in this game
pouring in 18 points, Sheri
Keith scored 12 points, and
Sue Schreiber and Hennon
tossed in 10 points each.
Through the non-league
season, here's how the
Titans
rank
in
the
NWAACC' s Southern Division (Region IV):
. • Sophomore Trina Travess
ranks fourth in the league in
scoring averaging 14.7 points
per game (ppg). Nicki
Essman is the Titans second
leading scorer putting in 11.5
ppg and Sue Schreiber is
scoring 10.1 ppg.
- • Among
re bounders
Essman is ranked sixth collecting 8 .5 per game while
Christi Viltz is close behind
with 7.5 per game.
• Julie Huber leads the
team and league in free
throw percentage connecting
on 90 percent.
• As a team, Lane's offense
is scoring 59.6 ppg while
holding its opponents to 56.5
ppg.
Of the next three teams
that the women's team
plays,
Clackamas,
Chemeketa and LinnBenton, Loos says each has a
"shot at winning it all." The
Coach says that Clackamas is
ranked second in offense out
of 28 teams, and Clackamas
is their next rival tonight, Friday Jan. 17~ in Oregon City.
Loos believes that the mental aspect of the game is more
important than the physical
aspect. "Just thinking you're
in good shape is helpful. If
you think you' re in bad
shape, you're going to lose.''

Titan men lead the·South
by Darren Foss
TORCH Sports Editor
The Titans' Men's Basketball team continues to lead
the NW AACC Southern
Division with a perfect 3-0
record and 12-3 overall after
defeating the Southwestern
Oregon Lakers and Mt.
Hood Saints last week.
On Wednesday, Jan. 8, the
Titans played host to the
Lakers and defeated SWOCC
by 11, 70-59.
Lane played a strong first
half with aggressive defense
and led by nine, 38-29 at the
half.
In the second half, the
Titans kept the pressure on
the young Lakers team, as
the two teams traded baskets
most of the half while Lane
glided to an easy win.
Sophomore
Jerome
Johnson led the Titans' offense scoring 13 points while
sophomore Bruce Carter
came in off the bench and added 12 points. Freshman
Mike Maki had a strong
game on the boards pulling
down a season-high 12 rebounds.
"We came out and played
real fine defense. In the second half we played
tenacious 'D'. That was
pleasing because we are putting emphasis on creating a
strong defense,'' commented
Head Coach Dale Bates.
Then on Friday, Jan. 10,
the Titans traveled to
Gresham to take on Mt.
Hood and defeated the
Saints by only seven, 68-61.
Lane was caught in a tough
first half battle and went into
the locker room trailing by
two, 36-34.
In the second half the
Titans' defense came
through once again, holding
the Saints to only 25 points
as Lane came from behind to
collect the win.
Johnson had an excellent
offensive night, tying his
season-high of 30 points, hitting 13 of 19 shots and
amassing 9 rebounds, while
Maki played his best game as
a Titan, putting in 18 points,
going 6 for 10 from the field
and 6 for 8 from the line.
Jerome Johnson goes up for two of his game-high 22 points as Lane
pounded the Portland CC Panthers Wednesday night, 115-82 at

Mary Seereiter -- Just back from the source

''The source of American

LCC dance instructor Mary
Seereiter who, for the last
five months, has been immersing herself in dance.,.at
the source.
Glad to be back for the
Winter Term at LCC after
missing Fall Term she says,
"I wanted to see what was

bachelors degree in 1978, and
a masters degree in 1979,
both from the U of 0, where
she was also a graduate
teaching fellow. This is her
sixth year as dance instructor
at LCC.
Seereiter studied with over
20 teachers, of movement

and tap. "It was really neat,"
she says, '' to take from so

Mary Seereiter -- fresh from the big apple.
believes she and the other
dance teachers at LCC, were
already on the right track.
LCC' s dance teachers have
approached
teaching
humanistically, she says, tak-
ing students emotional,
physical and mental aspects
into consideration.
The classes also reconfirmed her belief that in order to
develop
a
physical
awareness, a teacher needs
to know the basic mechanics
of movement. Several
workshops she attended
were focused on the scientific
aspects of dance, studying
the mechanical aspects of the
body such as: joint articulation, how different parts of
the body relate to each other,
and learning to support from
the internal muscles.
Many of her classes were at
the Laban/Bartenieff Institute
of Movement Studies. Laban
Movement Analysis provides
the tools for analyzing the interrelated factors of -movement: weight, time, effort
and space. Other classes included: Designing Fitness
Programs for Older Adults,
Patterns of Health (studying
breathing, and using imagry
to get in touch with deeply
ingrained movement patterns), and The Spine.
Seereiter says living right
in the heart of New York City
was really an eye-opener for
her, and that living in
Eugene is so much simpler,
and safer. In NYC she learned to be very cautious. ''You
learn to expect an attack at
any time," she says. And the
polarity between the poor
and the wealthy is so much
greater there, the reminders
so constant. "I was always
thinking of that," she says
sadly.
She enjoyed rock-climbing
in Central Park, and
sometimes she and the
woman in whose apartment
she was staying rented a car,
drove to Connecticutt and
did technical climbing (with
ropes) on The Shawagunks
(often called The Gunks), a
nationally known climbing
area. She believes the skills
involved in climbing and
dancing are intimately
related because with both it's
necessary to integrate mind
control,
momentum,
physical control, positions,
and foot technique.
While she enjoyed her
classes and the excitement of
life in the big city, she was
eager to return to her family,
sons, ages- 16 and 17, and
Eugene.
Now she's trying to integrate what she learned into
her teaching. Her C. Rider
Dance Co., a dance troupe
she organized and danced
with, is on hold for awhile
and she's focusing her
energies on making the transition back to teaching. Her
classes include: Beginning
Jazz Dance, Beginning, and
Intermediate Dance Techniques. She's also working on
developing a program here at
LCC to pr_ovide teaching certificates to dance teachers
and she's an exercise consultant at the new downtown
athletic club, teaching its
teachers.

"It's definitely cheaper in
the long run,'' says Howard
Dietrich, an LCC student
biker. ''You don't want a
cheap bike though, because
that means you will have to
pull extra weight." He says
good 10-speeds are available
from $150-$200. He is quick
to add, however, that once
the initial investment is
and gets you going for the
day better than any coffee
ever will!" says Andy
Youngquiest, another
regular LCC biker. Andy
has a car, but prefers to bike
until he can save enough
money for the next school
term.
"I've biked for six months
• Have a working
generator light on your
bicycle. The 30th Avenue
hill can be extremely foggy
in the morning.
• Eat after the trip, not
before leaving home, in
order to avoid cramps.
• Wear raingear, but no
heavy clothing. A heavy
coat will result in excessive
persperation.
• Watch carefully for
gravel or ice on the road.
• Above all, pay close
attention to the traffic. Cars
Lights, locks, helmets and baskets are all part of student bicycling.
made the monthly cost of
riding a bike can't help but
be cheaper than either bus
or car.
For some, the physical
exertion is strong incentive,
not punishment. "It's really
not so bad. It wakes you up
and I don't think I've ever
been in better shape," says
Youngquiest. But he thinks
'' the key is to be prepared.''
Being prepared is
important to all the bikers
and they offer the following
pointers:
can cause long term damage
to bikes and bikers in an
instant of carelessness.
So what looks to an
outsider like an exercise in
self-inflicted pain and
exhaustion turns out to be
quite the contrary for those
who regularly pedal up that
hill. Even taking. into
account a initial financial
outlay (bicycle, lights,
clothes, etc.) those who
invest the time and energy •
are pleased with the return
on their investment.

That's Army math. It means that after 2 years of
college (60 semester hours or equivalent) and a 2~year
enlistment, you could have up to $21,000 to continue
your education. Courtesy of the New GI Bill+ New
Army College Fund. (Effective July 1, 1985).
That other 2 means you can get two years of
ROTC credit by enrolling in ROTC at the third year
level (with the approval of the college's Professor of
Military Science) when you reenter college. You'll earn
$100 a month in ROTC.
Qualify, and you'll start your enlistment with a
promotion. And just because you're out of school
doesn't mean you stop learning. We'll teach you a skill
that can help you go places later.
And you'll go places now, because we give soldiers
an opportunity to travel. And a chance to make new
friends.
Not to mention a lot of money for college. Plus the
chance to become an Army officer. Contact your local

Jackson, from page 7
Personally Jackson thinks
his play could be better. "My
shooting could be better,
from the field and free-throw
line. I'm pretty pleased with
my defense, but I do have
room to improve.''
According to Coach Bates,
"Lester's improved a lot this
year. He's been working
very diligently in practice.
He's lea:ming to play more
intelligent 'D' and is doing a
good job for us. He's always
had the quickness, size and
strength to be a good forward for us.
"He's been scoring well for
us this year. He has a very
good attitude, is a hard
worker and is really making a
solid contribution to our program, 11 commented Bates.
Jackson's future looks pretty bright. His top offer from a
four-year college came from
Bradley Universit y in
Chicago, while also receiving
a coup!e others, but he is unsure where he wants to go
from here. "I'm just gonna
wait and see what happens
and choose from what's
available." Jackson still
hasn't ruled out going to the
U of 0, his original plan. "If
they want me, I'll go, 11 concluded Jackson.
