Rob Ward

My name is Rob Ward and I'm
running for ASLCC President. Next
year will be my third year here at
LCC.
In 84-85 I was a senator in Student
Government. I was chairperson of
both the Legal Services Committee
and the Judiciary Committee.
This past year (85-86) I have served
as ASLCC Treasurer. I am a member
of the Multi-Cultural Center Advisory Committee, EPAC II (Evening
Program Advisory Committe e,
which seeks to improve programs
for night studt.. -), and I am one of
two students who serve on the VicePresidential Screening Committee.
The purpose of this committee is to
screen applicants who are applying
for the Vice-President of Instruction
job, of which Gerry Rasmussen is
retiring from.
Most of all, I care about students
as people! I have been the coordinator of the F. 0. 0. D. for Lane
county (cheese and butter, etc.
giveaways) for the two years I have
been here, and will continue to be
next year. I am also the coordinator
of the Oxfam and World Food Day
hunger awareness programs which
seek to educate people about the
world.
I will continue to support our great
ASLCC programs such as Legal Services, Student Resource Center,
Summer Child Care Center, free

Dana Woods

As the student body VicePresident for 85/86, I have learned
the important factors that make an
effective student body organization.
One of my priorities is helping make
LCC an institution that attracts and
retains quality students by
establishing a Teacher Evaluations
committee which, when utilized,
can aid the teacher in providig a
positive learning environment for
the students. The Teacher Evaluations committee is a two year project, and I hope to continue with this
project next yer. As an Automotive
Technology major, I feel the vocational as well as academic progeams
at LCC create a unique opportunity
for the students to gain a well rounded and diverse education. Having
served on the Academic Council, the
Instructional Goals and Priorities
Committee, I have learned a great
deal about LCC. I feel I am quite well
qualified to remain the student body
Vice-President and continue to provide an informed, strong representative voice for the student body.

To the Torch:
I am writing in response to
Mr. Heart's letter (TORCH
5-2) wherein he accuses the
TORCH of "irresponsibility,
unprofess ionalism and
tastelessne ss'' and hopes
that the TORCH will ''In the
future . . . subscribe . . . to
the standards and value
guidelines of professional ...
journalism. ''
The TORCH operates
under the guidelines of the
Media Commissi on
guidelines that, as I understand them -- provide LCC
publications freedom of the
press and LCC students, the
freedom of speech, and
guard against just the sort of
policies Mr. Heart seems to
be advocating: arbitrary censorship. Personally , I
thought some of the comments in the "Libya poll"
were indeed simplistic, and
at least one of them I found
ludicrous. But we are all entitled to an opinion ...
I found the thinly masked
suggestion that the TORCH
practice censorship equally
as ludicrous as the idea that
someone could be concerned
with the President's somnolence after he had (albeit
"legally" or not) just
authorized mass murder.
And as for juvenile, how
do you rate these Reagan
comments: "Now that I've
seen Rambo, I'll know what
to do next time." (After a
hostage crisis.) And ''I have
just outlawed Russia. The
bombing will begin in five

minutes." (Gramea, ne 01q
say it ... unwittingly .)
No, Mr. Heart, if juvenile
and simplistic were criterion
for non-report ing, we'd
ne'er hear another peep from
Ronald Reagan. But that is
my opinion -- so is this: I
think the TORCH staff,
rather than being attacked,
should be commended for
their lack of censorship.

Apology

Dear Editor,
I wish to make a double
apology -- to both the people
that were enjoying the music
Monday, May 5, when it
stopped, and to the people
that were bothered by it and
requested it be stopped.
I would like to explain the
miscommunication that caused the problem. I was called
about 11:45 a.m. by Dee Tipping from Jack Carter's office
who asked: "Can the policy
of no music in the Cafeteria
before 1:30 be bent this once
for a couple of guitars playing soft music?'' I felt that it
would not cause a problem
since this is a special week,
and I was assured it would
not be loud.
At 12:15 I began getting
phone calls, and people
started appearing in my office complaining about the
loud music. I had no choice
but to ask them to turn down
the amplifiers and play softer
music. I was as surprised at
their response '' this is how
we play, and if we cannot

play this music our way, we
will quit playing'' as most of
the listeners were when they
quit playing and packed up.
I was also surprised when
Jay Jones, Student Activities
Director asked me why I had
let them even start playing.
He told me he had been approached that morning and
told them they could not play
in the Cafeteria before 1:30
p.m. because their band was
too loud.

Caution

Dear Editor:
I do hope that the readers
of the TORCH are intelligent
enough to recognize that
emotion a 11 y-ch ar ge d
statements and accusations
made by disgruntled former
employees of the Financial
Aid Departmen t must be
read with a great deal of caution and discernmen t.
Honestly now, McCallumHogue would have us
believe that Waddell told her
to take a picture of her family
home, and furthermore that
was the reason she left?
Linda Waddell inherited an
accountant' s nightmare from
the former director of Financial Aid. Sloppy recordkeeping and lax practices in
those years lead to a bill and
fine from the federal government amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars
that hangs over the college to
this day. Waddell has been
given the task of cleaning up
that mess, which includes
more strict adherence to

Irms herP ie

federal
and
college
guidelines.
Furthermor e, I have little
sympathy for students who
have lost Financial Aid, and
who will not make the
minimum effort required to
appeal that decision.

Disagrees

Dear Editor,
In response to D. Pyle's letter to the editor last week, I
must say that I don't feel
under-inf ormed about
homosexu al festivities .
Although I don't condemn
homosexuals, I do disagree
with some of the implications
that were made in Mr. Pyle's
letter.
The most pronounce d
fallacy that I detected was
Mr. Pyle's remark about
homosexual s being a minority. I admit that one can
describe three year old girls
with red hair and with the
name of Gabrielle as b~ing in
a minority, but this example
doesn't have the legal overtones that the homosexual
case has.
I am referring to the current effort by people of said
persuasion to pass legislation
to establish '' Gay Rights.''
This use of the word
''minority'' carries the sound
of
people
yelling,
"Discrimi nation!" close
behind.
Don't misunderst and. I
am not one who fears that
homosexuality will corrupt

The plants wil l love it,
but wha t about the won ns
by Karen !rm.sher

TORCH Editor

The idea of buying dirt still seems peculiar to me. Back in
the late 1800s, when this area was settled by white farmers,
people who bought land just expected to get a good quantity
of dirt thrown in with the deal. It's a good thing, too, because
Rexius wasn't in business here yet.
But obviously times have changed.
I've planted pathetic little gardens for years -- gardens
where most of the seeds self-abort, and those of a braver (or
more foolhardy) nature suffer lives wracked with compacted
root systems and nutrient deprivation . Green-thum bed
friends have either avoided visiting us during the-growing
months, or quickly averted their eyes as they walk past our
front yard ''garden.''
Then they had to chose between pretending to ignore what
appeared to be blatant plant abuse, or offering unsolicited
copious, complicated advice about soil amendment s. In order
to save our friendships, conversatio n was usually rechanneled to areas where we shared more common values.
But this summer is going to be different. Last weekend my
husband and I bought and spread three truckloads of high
quality dirt. We had intended to just buy river loam, but the
steamy aura of the compost bin could not be ignored.
Plunging my hands into that dark fluffy pile, I was amazed
at how hot it was, despite the damp chilly air. (Later, when I
excitedly recounted the experience to my daughter, she

listened indulgently , unable to share my enthusiasm . It's a
sign of age, she claims, to get excited about compost.)
Hands and arms thrust deep in the steaming mass, nostrils
awash with the promise of fertility, I was visited by cornucopian visions -- long, slender carrots; vines heavy with masses
of juicy bright red tomatoes; tall, full, bright green heads of
lettuce; and uncountable big-blossomed, multi-colored
flowers. And I knew I was being offered an opportunity to
make amends for years of bad gardening karma.
I stopped the man who was about to scoop a cubic yard of
loam into our borrowed Datsun pick-up, and changed the
order to half a cubic yard of organic compost, covered by half
a cubic yard of loam. Undeterred by frequently slushy skies, I
repeated the pilgrimage to Rexius two more times while my
husband worked at home, leveling the raised bed frames we
had built a few weeks before.
Eight hours after we began, and three hours too late for the
potluck we had planned to attend, shovels in hand we stood
proudly by the newly created beds. No more gardening guilt
for us. The seeds we planted from now on would have to
work harder to find something to complain about. I did worry
a little about the worms though, hoping they hadn't been
crushed by the weight. But I figured that if they could just
make their way up to the new dirt, they were going to be happier too.
But I still think there's something unnatural about buying
dirt. And another thing I found out -- that old phrase "dirt
cheap" just isn't true anymore.

society. Greed and hate are
more likely to do that. I do,
however, refuse to use a
secret behavior as a basis for
determining someone's legal
status.
Homosexu ality didn't
come from Africa, Mexico, or
Japan. It is a behavior type
that has no legal beginnings
or endings. Heterosexuality,
on the other hand, does have
legal status in that children
can result.
So rather than confuse an
issue that isn't an issue, I
prefer
the
use
of
''personal ity type'' to
"minority." On that note, I
fail to see where discrimination has occurred with
reference to the TORCH not
printing information about
"Gay Pride Week."
If homosexuality is a per-

frompagel

to approve the process at the
next regular board meeting
Wednesday, May 14 at 8
p.m. in the Boardroom.
They seem to be in basic
agreement that they would
include the following components: 1) A 39 point
evaluation based on the 39
components of the president's job description as
recently revised by the president; 2) A report, soon to be
submitted by the president,
on the attainment of goals set
for the college by the board
for this year; 3) Some
method for community input; 4) An interview in which
the board shares its evaluation results with the president.
All board members except
Bob Bowser think it's essential to provide a format for
gathering input to the board
from faculty, staff and administrators. But even those
who agree on the importance
of including these constituencies, haven't been able
to reach agreement as to how
best to gather a random
sampling of opinion.
And most board members
felt students were not in a
position to have enough information to evaluate the
president, but that it might
be more useful to ask them
for opinions on how to improve college operations.

Bowser says, "I'll take all
sorts of input from the taxpayers, but I do~'t think it's
appropriate for employees to
evaluate their employer. It
could lead to a vendetta -- a
chance for people who have
an ax to grind.'' He thinks
that by taking random
samples of classes or by making questionnaires generally
available, "we're going to
get a lot of garbage that
makes it more difficult to do
our job." _
Most board members
agreed that opening the door
to anyone who wants to comment is likely to result in
mostly negative comments
because disgruntled people
would be the most likely to
go out of their way to fill out
an evaluation. But they also
agreed they needed more information than they've
already got to come up with
to make an accurate evaluation.
Larry Perry said, ''If I just
make judgements on what's
come to me already, it's not
going to be fair. The only
people who've called me
have complaints. I don't
think I've ever had a call
from someone to tell me how
well something is going.''
Mary Unruh said, "I think
this is -an opportunity to
mend some fences, to give

people who want to, a
chance to be heard. We can
do with it what we want. I
think it's an exercise in communication .... Tell us how
we're doing.'~
Charlene Curry said, ''The
evaluation (by staff) is going
to take place anyway, and if
the board is smart, it will
structure it." She also said,
''The board evaluates the
president. The input we're
asking for feeds into the
group that is making the
decisions." And "It's a way
of saying, 'This is the correct
process. This is how you do
it., ,,
Joyce Kofford, president of
(Certified)
LCC
the
Employees Federation, said,
"I really feel it is important to
get input from the staff. It
will give the faculty evaluation even greater importance
if you don't. It's like saying,
'We don't value your input.' "
Dixie Maurer-Clemons,
president of the LCCEA, the
instructor's union, has not
been present at either of the
two work sessions regarding
the presidential evaluation.
The faculty has conducted an
independent survey, the
results of which have not
been made public. Bill Manley said, ''This is
an improvement process,
rather than a test with A's or
B's, Pass or Fail." Curry concurred, saying the purpose of
the evaluation is to '' enhance
the performance of the president in his job."

Athletes back in action
At practice, Sunday, April
6, everything was going
routinely for Patty Baker, a
member of the LCC
Women's track team. Then,
in the acceleration stage of a
long jump attempt, she felt
her hamstring tear.
''It was like a ball hit my
leg and something grabbed
me. I couldn't fully extend
my leg for the jump. It hurt
pretty bad,'' says Baker.
This, Baker's first injury,
happened during her first
year back in competitive
track since her graduation
from Gresham High three
years ago.
Baker now finds herself in
a new race against time instead of the clock. She's battling to rehabilitate her
hamstring in time to rejoin
the team for the Regional
(May 9-10) and the
NWAACC Championship
(May 16-17) meets.
''I thought it might just
be a muscle cramp''
Since it was her first injury,
she underestimated its ·.
seriousness. "I thought it ,
might just be a muscle cramp
at first, and I could just walk
it off. Then it started to swell
up,'' says Baker.
LCC Athletic Trainer Janet
Anderson explains Baker's
injury, "Her hamstring pull
was not a typical pull. Since
it occurred while she was still
accelerating, it caused her
hamstring to contract at the
same time as her quadriceps
(muscles on the opposite side
of the thigh), causing her to
strain the upper part of her
left hamstring where it ties
into the buttocks."
Baker didn't think it would
end her season, but knew it
would cause a major setback.
"I honestly don't think I can
do as well .this season now as
I had originally hoped,'' says
Baker.
Playing basketball on Feb.
10, while trying to impress :
his friends by dunking the
ball, Jim Howarth missed
when he went up for a
powerful jam. On the way
down he collided with
another player, subluxating
his patella (dislocating his
knee cap), and falling to the
floor in agonizing pain.
A member of the Titan
Men's Track team, Howarth
is another rehabilitation success story, back in competi- •
tion and going strong.
''When it happened, it
hurt like hell, and I had
nightmares about it happening over and over. There was
no pain like it in the world."
reflects Howarth.
"The groove that my
patella (knee cap) sits in isn't
deep enough for my knee.
When the muscles get weak,
from too much strain, my
knee cap slips out . . . . It

happens real easily.''
This is the second time he
has suffered this type of injury. After it has happened
once, it can easily recur.
Howarth went through an
eight-week rehabilitation
program with Anderson,
who referred him to Dr.
Steven Roy, a specialist in
running and sports injuries.
Dr. Roy first put Howarth
on a Sibex machine, which
applied pressure to the
muscles around his knee in
order to strengthen them.
Next, Howarth went through
muscle stem treatments
which put electricity through
the muscles to make them
tense.
Another key element to his
healing process was ultrasound treatments, given by
Anderson on LCC equipment, to speed up the healing process. This was combined with stretching exercises to keep the muscles active.
''The
ultrasound
treatments transform elec-_
trical energy into mechanical
energy which puts soundwaves into the muscle
tissues," explains Anderson.
"The soundwaves are like a
mechanical massage which
increase the blood circulation
to heal the injury faster and
reduce inflamation."
Howarth is a middle
distance runner for the
Titans, running the 800
through 5000 meters. In his
first meet, on April 5 in
Albany, he only ran the 5000,
finishing an impressive third
in a time of 17:05.
''I was so happy to be able
to run again, it felt so good,''
he exclaims.
Even though Howarth is
back in action he has had to
be extra careful of his left leg.
"I can't make any sharp turning or twisting motions
with my left knee, and will
never play basketball again,''
he laments. "I have to be
very, very careful on it, to
make sure it doesn't reoccur.''
''We were hurting while
she was out''
Since Howarth's injury
was during the pre-season,
he has already rejoined the
team, only missing one meet.
Baker's injury occurred after
only the second meet, and
she has just now returning
after missing three weeks.
A key member of the Titan
sprint team, she is also one of
the team's top long jumpers,
according to her coach
Lyndell Wilken.
"We were hurting while
she was out,'' says Wilken,
"especially our sprint team.
She's a strong long jumper,
and 100 and 200 meter

(Baker) as our one-two
punch now that we have Patty back."
The first step for Baker and
Howarth in Anderson's
rehabilitation program was a
plan commonly known
around the training rooms by
the acronym, RICE treatment.
•"R" stands for rest. The
injured athlete needs plenty
of rest, staying off the injury
for at least two weeks so· it
can heal properly.
• "I" stands for ice. Three
or four times daily the athlete
ices the injury for 20 to 30
minute to reduce swelling.
• "C" stands for compression. The athlete uses an ace
bandage to control swelling.
• "E" represents elevation.
If possible, the athlete should
maintain good blood circulation by raising the limb above
the heart.
"It gets boring, sitting
in the training room"

Of the four steps, Baker
and Howarth both agreed
resting was the hardest.
Howarth had to stay in bed
with a brace on his knee for
six weeks. "I couldn't run or
do anything -- just lay in bed
and rest.''
Baker adds, "It gets really
boring sitting in the training
room. They're probably getting tired of seeing me in
there.'' But looking at the
positive side to her injury she
says, "At least it happened
during the early part of the
season so I'11 have time to get
strong again in time for the
important meets -- regionals
and Northwest Championship."
Baker has finally rejoined

she attended Gresham High.
While injured, instead of
running, Baker biked •and
swam to keep her muscles
toned. She is currently still
receiving
ultrasound
treatments and muscle
massages to prevent scar
tissue. "I'm really scared of
that.
'' Coach Wilken pulled a
hamstring when she was
running in college, and in
those days they didn't have
trainers,'' Baker recounts.
"They just made her go out
and run, and it developed into scar tissue. She was never

the same. It ended her track
career.''
''I don't want my track
career to end that way. But, I
feel I'm in the best of hands
with Janet Anderson. If I
didn't trust her I wouldn't let
her work on me. She's
helped me through each step
of the recovery,'' praises
Baker.
Baker has developed some
scar tissue in her hamstring,
but with continual ultrasound treatment she hopes it
won't cause permanent
damage.

''I'd be glad to get the use
of my arms back,'' says
29-year-old LCC student
Cleve LeClair.
At least he would like a
chance to improve his health
and fitness level -- and that
may not be as far away as it
may seem.
In the LCC weight room,
his wrists enclosed in leather
straps attached to the bar and
weights, he alternately
smiles and breathes as the effort to pull the bar down to
waist level shows on his face.
He flashes another engaging
smile as he tells of his plans
to earn a degree in computer
programming, then design
software in electrical theory
and electronic design.
When the aide comes to
release his wrists from the
velcro strapped cuff so •that
his arms can come down,
LeClair matter-of-factly men-

tions some of the everyday
frustrations which result
from injur~es he received in a
di.v ing accident 12 years ago.
"Sometimes my blood
pressure goes up to 160 over
110, or even higher, and it
drops as low as 95 over 65, ''
causing dizziness and
temperature fluctuations.
The new chance for the
better health of Spinal Cord
l:p.jured (SCI) people may lie
in a little-known device called the Regys 1. Not the
typical health-dub variety exercise bicycle, it's a state-ofthe-art high-tech system
designed to move paralyzed
muscles by stimulating the
nerves with electrical impulses.

"First Steps/' a 1984 TV
movie,
portrayed
a
paraplegic woman, walking
again through Dr. Petrofsky' s efforts. The Regys 1 has
received approval of the
AMA and Food and Drug
Administration.
In April, Petrofsky and his
colleague Dr. • Chandler
Phillips were nominated for
the Nobel Prize because of
their work with the programmed stimulation of paralyzed
muscles.

Certainly, an exercise bike
could be equipped with a
motor. But no matter how
many miles the machine
''takes'' and SCI person,
muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness would not
improve.
"It wouldn't build the
muscles, because the
muscles aren't doing the
work,'' says Jack Jackson of
Eugene, who, six years ago
became quadriplegic as a
result of an automobile acci-

classes if the Regys were
available.
''There are a half million
SCI people in the US right
now., and every 28 minutes,
another person gets a spinal
cord injury," Jackson says.
''There's enough paraplegics
and quadriplegics in Eugene
for it to pay for itself in a
year.''

Lane track records fall at Oregon Pepsi Relays
by Darren Foss

TORCH Sports Editor

The Titan Men's and
Women's Track teams held
their own against four-year
college's in the Oregon Pepsi
Relays last Saturday, May 3,
at the U of O's Hayward
Field.
It was the Titans' final
tune-up before this Friday
and Saturday's (May 9-10)
NWAACC Region IV Championship Meet at Mt. Hood
CC in Gresham.
Women's Results
Coach Lyndell Wilken sent
only five Titan runners to the
Oregon Pepsi Relays. Val
Quade led the Titans and
finished fifth overall in the
morning qualifying 1500
meter event with a time of
4:48.6.
Wilken also had Diana
Nicholas _a nd Tammie Gardiner run the 1500, trying to
qualify them for the
NWAACC Championship
Meet, but they fell short.
Nicholas and Gardiner ran
together for most of the race
with Nicholas beating out
Gardiner at the line 5:04 flat
to 5:04.4 respectively.
Sprinter Julie Staples ran
an impressive 12.2 100
meters to break the sevenyear old LCC record held by
Jill Lanham at 12.3.
Melanie Wright fell two
seconds short of qualifying
for the Northwest Meet in
the 400 meters with a time of
1:04.
The Titans' field event
team wasn't accepted into
the Oregon Pepsi Relays,
along with other small ·colleges. So on Friday, May 2,
Wilken sent her top throwers
to Oregon State University in
Corvallis where OSU had
quickly organized a ineet for
the small colleges.
Julie Huber was the Titan
star in Corvallis with a discus
throw of 121'-9" to qualify
for the NW Meet. It also was
a personal record (PR) for her
by over six feet.
For the rest of the team, it
was a weekend off to rest up
for the Regional Meet.
Earlier in the week, on
Tuesday and Wednesday,
April 29-30, Sherri Harris
and Joi Tipton took part in
the NWAACC Women's
Heptathalon competition at
Linn-Benton CC in Albany.
According to Coach
Wilken, Harris and Tipton
finished 10th and 11th
respectively among 18
NWAACC participants. It
also was the first event of the
Regional Meet where they
placed fifth and sixth respectively, earning Lane three
points.
''Unfortunately,'' Wilken
exclaims, "Mt. Hood went
1-2-3 in the heptathalon
which wiped us out for
regionals, since it puts us at a
21-point deficit before we

even start the meet (this Friday). So we're looking at
regionals now as just a lead
up to the NW Meet where
we'll pull out all the stops we
can."
So this weekend, Coach
Wilken will settle for second
and won't double or triple up
any events trying to catch
Mt. Hood. "It's just not
worth it so close to our biggest meet of the year. We're
just going to be conservative,
go for fast times, and qualify
as many as we can for the
NW Meet,'' says Wilken.
If all goes as planned, Patty
Baker will compete for the
first time since her hamstring
injury in the long jump and
400 meters at the Regional
Meet this weekend, according to Coach Wilken.
It will also be a homecoming for Baker since she is a
Gresham High graduate.
"I'll be real pleased if she
can just hang in there and
score a few points for us,"
says Wilken.
Men's Results
The Titan Men set many
PR's and Lane records once
again on the quick Hayward
Field track.
• World Class sprinter Jose
Barbosa led the Titans,
breaking his own 800 meters
record at Lane running a
quick 1:46.84 to win the
event over major college runners in the evening finals.
Barbosa' s time is one of the
fastest in the world so far this
year.
Barbosa also anchored the
Titans 1600 meter relay team
(with Lanay Creech, Pat Lanning, and Dave Hunnicutt),
to a second place finish in
3:11.2. It was another school
record, while almost upsetting the Washington State
University relay team, one of
the best in the nation. Three
of the fastest relay legs were
run by Lanning (47.3), Hunnicutt (48.4), and Barbosa
(46.2).
• Lanning also set a PR in
the 400 meter intermediate
hurdles final in 52.26 for
third place overall.
• Eric Nelson finished
fourth in the javelin qualifying, setting a Lane record
with a throw of 201' -2".
• Rick Nelson set a PR in
his 1500 meter qualifying
heat, clocking in at 3:56. 93.
Bob Haggard set a PR in his
qualifying 800 meters heat
fi.nishing first in 1:53.28.
• Lawrence Austin set a
season-best in the 110 meter
high hurdles at 15.26 in the
morning qualifying meet.
Then, in the evening finals,
he finished eighth overall in
15.77.
• Andy Young also set a
season-best for himself in the
high jump with a jump of
6'-8 3/4" to win the daytime
qualifying, but in the twilight
finals against the big colleges

Shawn Graham shows perfect form as he easily cleard the bar in high jump practice at Lane.
he wasn't able to place.
• Paul Ackerman qualified
for the NW Meet and finished fourth in the morning
qualifying with a long jump
of 22' -2 1/4".
In the 200-meter qualifying
race, Creech and Hunnicutt
finished second and third in
22.22 and 22.37 respectively
in heat one.
Titan Men's Track Coach
Harland Yriarte is confident
that his team will win the

Regional Meet this weekend,
going in as the overwhelming favorite.
''We basically wili be going
for good times and the points
will come naturally,'' says
Yriarte.
Yriarte has scratched Jim
Howarth from the 1500 and
will have him run only the
800 meters at the Regional
Meet so he can concentrate
on qualifying.

Baseball a CBW sport

by Darren Foss

TORCH Sports Editor

Baseball is one of the few sports Controlled By Weather
(CBW).
Members of the Titan Baseball team have become more
interested in the weather report to find out if they will be
playing or not. For the most part, the past couple of weeks
they've been doing the latter rather than the former, as
games have been stacking up.
Spring weather is taking its toll on the Titan sluggers,
washing out all of last week's games and causing many
make-up games to be scheduled under familiar words
weather permitting.
The Titans have some games originally scheduled for
Sunday, April 20, yet to play. Namely the Linfield Junior
Varsity Wildcats in a non-league double-header at Lane.
It was first rescheduled for the following Sunday, April
27, but down came the rain. Then it was pushed to the
following Sunday, May 4, but once again it was postponed
(ppd).
Two league double-headers were also washed out last
week. Due to the lateness in the . season, the Titans will
concentrate more on just getting their league games made
up, and may forget about the Wildcats.
According to Titan Baseball Coach Bob Foster, the team
-will just play the Oregon Club team one more time, since
they are closer, instead of Linfield to get the non-league
game in if the weather shapes up.
In league competition, the Titans originally were
scheduled to face the Clark College Penguins in a doubleheader in Vancouver, Wash. on Saturday, April 26. But
Vancouver isn't exempt from rain either ... ppd. It was
rescheduled for the following Thursday, May 1, and after a
call to Vancouver by Coach Foster, it seemed nice enough
to play.
The two teams almost got through game one, but with
the score tied 7-7 in the top of the eighth inning, the rain
came down and the game had to be suspended. This past
Thursday, May 8, the Titans finally traveled back to Vancouver to finish up game one and to play game two.
Results weren't available by press time.
Then last Saturday, May 3, the Titans were scheduled to
travel to Albany to square off with the Linn-Benton
Roadrunners in a league double-header. The weather was
fairly decent (it didn't start raining until late afternoon),
but the field was still too wet and muddy from previous
days rain to play on, so it became another weather victim,
ppd. Coach Foster has scheduled the rematch for this Sunday, May 11.
One nice thing about rainouts, to the optimist, is that the
Titans have a chance to rest up and to heal up if necessary.
And they can really use this rest, because when it came
time to make up these games they were faced with a long
strenuous week of action.

SOMETIMES IT TAKES
MARMY TO PAY BACK
YOUR COLLEGE LOAM.

Paying back your college loan can be a long,
uphill battle. But the Army's Loan Repayment

Program makes it easy.
Each year you serve as a soldier, the Army will
reduce your college debt by 113 or $1,500, whichever
amount is greater. So after serving just 3 years, your
college loan will be completely paid off.
You're eligible for this program with a National
Direct Student Loan or a Guaranteed Student Loan
or a Federally Insured Student Loan made after
October 1, 1975. And the loan can't be in default.
And just because you've left college, don't think
you'll stop learning in the Army. Our skill training

Imagination Celebration

Cafeteria controversy clarified

by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Entertainment Editor

''This is discrimination!''
said Ricardo Olalde, president of the Chicano and
Latin American Student
Union. "He's boycotting
what we're trying to do," he
added, outraged.
In Olalde's opinion, he and
the fellow members of his
band, "Sandunga" were unfairly ousted from LCC' s
cafeteria dining area on May
5. He says that Bob Tegge,
Food Serv.1c e manager,
wasn't really objecting to his
band, but instead the fact
that he was attempting to
perform in celebration of
Mexico's independence day,
''Cinco de Mayo.''
"Sandunga." was scheduled to perform outside the
cafeteria at 12 noon. The
weather was dank, so they
called Dee Tipping, the
secretary for Student Services, to ask if they could

play inside, instead. Tipping
called Tegge, who okayed
the request in the absence of
his supervisor.
"We only played one song,
and he (Tegge) came running
out and told us to stop,,,
Olalde said angrily. , 'He said
it was too loud, but he just
didn't like our music! He
didn't like our cause!"
Paola Unadrone, a student
who witnessed the incident,
said, ''I was really disappointed when they stopped
playing. Today is a really big
celebration. People are here
from all over to hear this
band."
Tegge said about the controversary ''We have a policy
of no music inside the
Cafeteria area until 1:30,
because that way, people
who are trapped in here, like
the cashiers, won't get trapped listening to it.
"When Jack
secretarv called,

she'd been told that the band
consisted of a few guitars
playing very soft music that
wouldn't bother anyone. So I
agre~d." From Tegge's po~nt
of view, the band came m,
set up, and blasted ou~ a
song so ~oud that the cash1e~s
couldn t talk to then
cuS t omers.
"I asked them to turn
down their amplifier until
1:30, when we normally
allow music. They got mad at
me and said they only play
their music their way. So I
said, ''You have to turn it
down or not play here.''
They said, "Okay, we
won't,'' and they packed up
their stuff and left. And
somehow, I ended up the
bad guy!"
John Klabas, another
witness, said, "There's no
discrimination here! They've
kicked me out of here for
playing my accordion, and
I've been a professor here for
20 years."

Pleasant diversion
by Karen lrmsher

TORCH Editor

The publishers of the Earth's Children series must be paying Jean Auel by the word. If so, "The Mammoth Hunters,"
Auel' s third and most recent in the six-book series, would indicate she's getting better at making money.
Auel leaves nothing to the imagination, whether she's
describing a sexual encounter or repeatedly belaboring a
thought. Like McDonalds, she does it all for you.
The main character, a tall, blond, breathtakingly beautiful
super.:.cavewoman named Ayla, is unstoppable, and nearly
unflappable. She's the first human to domesticate lions,
horses, and wolves. She discovers the fire-producing capacity of flint, and invents the needle. From age 14 to age 17 she
never sees a human and gets along just fine.
She has herbal cures for every conceivable health problem,
carves beautiful wooden bowls, weaves intricately patterned
baskets, and makes serviceable spearheads. No animal is safe
from her sling or spear -- wolf, bison, ptarmigan, ermine, fox,
or the enormous sacred mammoth. And to top it all off she's
a great lover and a good cook.
She does have a couple problems, but Auel should have
relieved the unremitting amazement factor by giving Ayla a
few weaknesses too. It's impossible to identify with her.
She's too perfect. Her major problems, though, are sure to
strike a chord in every reader.
Ayla has a gnawing need for acceptance. She was raised by
the wrong kind of people. Never fully accepted by them, she
now has trouble being accepted by her own kind because she
was raised by "animals." The second half of the book is
dominated by a mammoth-sized communication problem
between Ayla and Jondalar, the man she loves. Auel milks
this problem for at least three or four times what it's worth in
verbiage.
While this book will never qualify as literature, it worked
for me as escape. I enjoyed many of Auel' s imaginings of
how ice-age people provided for their food, shelter, clothing
and entertainment needs.
Auel starts with the assumption that both their desire for
cleanliness and comfort, and their moral values were similar
to ours. While this probably has little foundation in fact,
thinking along these lines provides a pleasant diversion, as
well as an keen appreciation of modern conveniences.
