all my children
I know I predicted last year would be
the end of my undergraduate career, but
I didn’t make it, which means the column
lives on. The first two or three install
ments will be introductory, but those
who've seen the show before should
take note. Things have changed. And
from Tara Martin’s point of view, they’ve
changed for the worse.
One of the standby crises on the show
is the Chuck Tyler — Tara — Phil Brent
triangle. Through a series of misunder
standings (misunderstandings are a main
ingredient of the show) Phil and Tara,
who were high school sweethearts,
parted the sheets. Tara was so crushed
she rebounded into the arms of Phil’s
best friend, Chuck Tyler, a young doctor
with lots of bucks.
Chuck and Tara planned to get mar
ried, but Chuck keeled over at the Altar
suffering from a kidney infection. With
Chuck in the hospital Phil and Tara were
free to renew their “friendship ”, and the
news that Phil had been drafted and was
being sent to Vietnam was enough to
push them all the way. They tried to
make it moral, but a storm kept them
from reaching the justice-of-the-peace.
They stopped in a chapel and ex
changed their own vows, but Phil left for
war without a legal wife. Then it really
went all to hell.
The news came that Phil was missing
in action and presumed dead. To top it
off, Tara discovered she was pregnant
with Phil’s child. She married Chuck and
gave birth to a boy she called “little Phil."
Picture her astonishment when she
learned Phil hadn’t been killed in Nam
and Phil’s when he learned his “wife”
was married to his best friend. For a
while Tara remained Mrs. Tyler and hid
from Phil the fact he was a father.
But it didn’t last. Took a couple of di
vorces and a lot of tears, but finally Phil
and Tara were married and lived with
little Phil as a true family. But it wasn’t to
be. Little Phil, who’s since started going
by Charlie (his middle name is Chuck)
resents Phil for breaking up his mom and
dad and has never been told the truth
about his parentage: he still thinks
Chuck is his real dad.
Now Phil and Tara are living apart,
Tara had a bout between the sheets with
Chuck, and she's more confused than
ever. Chuck’s tired of playing the fall guy
and is pressuring Tara to remarry him.
An old crisis heats up.
But there are new crises in Pine Val
ley, and the most interesting involves
Chuck’s uncle, Line Tyler. A successful
lawyer with culture cornin' out his ass
Line’s had a tough couple years. After
matrimony marred by divorce, Line fi
nally found happiness. But his wife
bought the farm, condemning Line to
loneliness and despair. However, odd
things happen on television and Line’s
sister-in-law has shown up. Not so wierd
in itself, but she is Line’s dead wife’s
exact twin.
Student hurt
in 3-story fall
An 18-year-olcl man suffered head and inter
nal injuries when he fell from the roof of the Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity early Thursday morn
ing, Eugene police said.
John Chamberlin of Monmouth, was re
ported to be in critical condition at Sacred
Heart hospital.
Dick Adams, a resident of the house, told
police he was awakened by the sound of
someone on the sun porch outside of his win
dow in the fraternity's sleeping area. Adams
said Chamberlin appeared to lose his balance
and fell off the edge of the porch, according to
the police. Adams said he could not see any
one else on the roof.
Chamberlin, a freshman pledge, fell from the
sun roof of the three-story fraternity house at
818 E. 15th Ave. and hit the sidewalk shortly
before 4 a.m., police said.
Two other fraternity members told police
that Chamberlin had been drinking wine and
whiskey that night, and he became so intoxi
cated that they had to put him to bed at about
12:30 a.m.
Police said they have been unable to talk to
Chamberlin, but investigation of the incident is
continuing.
New CBS station
planned in Eugene
Eugene residents who enjoy KASH-AM radio may be in for a treat.
Plans for the construction of a third television station in Eugene were
announced Thursday by Don Craig, KASH / KSND radio general
manager.
If all goes according to plan, the station would round out Eugene's
airwaves as a Columbia Broadcasting System affiliate, Craig said. The
other Eugene television stations, KEZI and KVAL, are affiliates of the
American Broadcasting Company and the National Broadcasting Com
pany.
An application for the station’s construction was filed Sept. 20 with the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by the Sterling Recrea
tion Organization (SRO). That organization owns both KASH and
KSND radio stations in Eugene.
If approved, the new station would be the first commercial ultra high
frequency (UHF) television station in Oregon.
Before KASH-TV could begin broadcasting however, the application
for construction will have to follow the FCC process, which includes a
30-day acceptance period, a 90-day waiting period for public comment,
and a six-month investigation period. The station could be operating by
the fall of 1979.

THE FUH STARTS TONIGHT!
Because there’s going to be nothing straight about a CHEECH & CHONG film.
Every generation has had their own comedy duo; the 30’s had Laurel and Hardy.
Abbott & Costello broke up the 40’s and Martin and Lewis really fractured the 50’s.
CHEECH & CHONG have helped make the 70 s go “UP IN SMOKE.’’
CHEECH & CHONG are the comedy team that gave birth to rock comedy
and in the process of turning on a whole generation, sold ten million albums,
picked up numerous awards, including Cash Box and Billboard’s best comedy duo.
and a Grammy for their album. “Los Cochinos.”
Now it’s time for a CHEECH & CHONG movie.
C & C’s “UP IN SMOKE” will make you feel very funny.
So don’t go straight to see this movie!
