LCC to seek app rova l of Feb. seri al levy

To m,.intain an "op,en door"
po!icy, LCC is asking t he t axpa ye rs of Lane and parts of
adjoining counties to approve,
on Feb. 10, a five year, 1.5
m~.llion dollar (7.5 million dollar
to~al) serial levy for additional
buildings.

LCC student killed
during vacation
Pat Carmichael, an LCC student and former Vietnam ,var
veteran, was killed in an automobile accident on D2c. 21, 1969.
The accident happened at the
intersection of Beltline and Coburg Roads. His brother, Ron
Bebeau, was treated and released
at Sacred Heart Ho:;pital.
Pat lived at 1366 Lawrence St.
and was majoring in physical education.
A feature story on Pat will
appear in a later issue of The
Torch.

capacity of 4,500, but has passea
tlie full time enrollment this Fall
Term.. The "open door" policy
has meant that any student in
the district should have the opportunity to attend LCC if he so
desires. As a result of this
philosophy, m·my persons who
would not otherwise have attended
college have beengivenanopportunity to do so.
"In order to m2.intain an 'open
door' philosohpy," said Bert Do~ son, Assistant to President Pickering, '' mnre student spaces are
needed in the next five years. We
are over capacity now and we
m '1st start imm,~diately in future
building programs."
By all reliable projections, said
Dotson, future FTE student enro1lm :·nt at LCC for the com:.ng
five years will be:
• '70-71 5,500
'71-72 6,200
'72-73 6,700

FTE enrollm1mt last year increased over 20% , according
to Bert Dotson, '' and unless the
school can pass this newer phase

might have to face the problem of
limiting our college enrollm,~nt.''
Dotson did not mention how cutting down the number of students
attending LCC would be done if
the serial levy is defeated Feb.IO

because, he said, "the administration isn't even planning on a
defeat of the serial levy. We
are optimistic that the taxpayers
will approve additional support
for Lane Com::nunity College."
If the construction serial levy
is approved, bids will be let out
in February and March for completion of a Machine Technology

Nita Sander, Torch Ed it or,
submitted her resignation to the
M~dia Board, effective Jan. 13.
Nita has been accepted at the
Career Training Center in Eugene and will begin classes soon.
Nita has been editor of the
Torch since Spring term, 1969.
Her duties as editor included coordinating the Torch staff and

superv1smg Tor c h production.
The editor has control over the
material used in the paper, and is
r~sponsible to the Mt~dia Board.
When Nita became editor, there
was an unorganized staff and little interest in the Torch. There
was no communication with the
student senate, administration or
the student bodv.
Under Nita's leadership, the
Torch has endeavored to create
interest and promote the paper as
an effective mtidium of communication. A prim2 objective has
been to relate the paper to the
students and campus activities.
The Torch has grown from a
four to an eight page paperunder
Nita's editorship. More and better coverage and reporting have
helped initiate student interest
and participation in the paper.
Nita regrets that she must resign, but classes at both Lane and
the Career Training Center will
leave her no time for the editorshio.
The Torch staff appreciates
Nita's dedicated leadership and
her effectiveness in elevatingthe
quality of the Torch.

listed as outside the FT£ category. Also, a proposal by the
State System of Higher Education
to limit enrollment at all four
year schools would further add
to LCC's enrollment as more students from the four year schools
would transfer to community colleges.
Shortly after its creation, LCC
taxpayers approved a five year,
$400,000 per year serial levy for
construction. This fall was the
last year of that levy.
Cash available at the present
time from previous construction
funds and state funding is approximately 2 mf.llion dollars. In the
original financial planning it had
anticipated that 25-33%
been
(a;>proximately 4. 5 m f. 11 ion dollars) of construction cost would
com•~ from the federal governm1~nt. The war and efforts to control inflation have dried up the
federal dollars. State support of
construction at LCC is anticipated to be in the neighborhood
of 3. 9 million dollars between
July, 1971 and the 1975-77 biennium. An additional 7.5 million

each, thus simplifying the procedure.
* $700 was alotted for student

while students are on s~eaking

will be returned immediately to
the ASB fund.

urged LCC students to ''make

4,400 registe r for Winter Term
"There will not be any significant difference in the size o:!enrollment from last term," predicted Bob Marshal, Director of
Adm~ssions at LCC,, As of Jan.
12, 1,321 FTE were enrolled. The
4200 FTE projected for the year
will be met, said Marshal.
Full time equivalent (FTE) is
computed by dividing by 15 the
total number of class hours enrolled for by all students, which
gives the approximate number of
full timi? students.
4,400 students, of which 1,000
are new, have registered for
Winter Term, according to Marshal. This figure includes all
part-tim,~, vocational, and night
students. 3,350 students were
registered Winter Term of last
year, and of those 653 were new.
LCC has opened twenty additional class sections which create
room for 400 to 500 additional
students. At least one new section is available from each departm,?nt of the college.
Registration procedures will
remain the sam:! for the rest ·o f
the year. with no change seen for
next year, said Marshal. He
would like to see better use made
of the computer for registration,
how,2ver. The computer would
shorten the tim:! to correct conflicts with class si:;hedules, room
and teachers, he pointed out.

Students, reports alumni director Art Schaefer.
The Alumni group is trying
an i n no v at i v e approach t o
organization of their group. They
plan a follow-up on graduates,
interviewing them on the job,
talking with them about Lane.
This Schaefer hopes will create
strong communication between
Lane and its alums. With alums

in the community who are familar
with Lane, these graduates help
acquaint the community with
Lane's programs, its goals and
can act as contacts for specific
Lane projects.
The Alumni Association will
maintain a record index of graduates, their department of education and follow-up cards, so
that graduates from a particular
division can mHet and contact
each other.

"

The big, older man laughed and shifted his
hard hat to a more comfortable position on his
hea::l. His son looked out the side window as the
four wheel drive pickup negotiated curves on
the dirt logging road.
"What business them kids got marching on
the Forestry Office? What do they teach in college
these days anyhow? How to interfere with a working
man's living?"
"Cool off boys," said the driver. "D~monstrations don't m1~an a particle. There ain't
enough protesters in the whole country to keep
Manley & Sons from logging French Pete Valley.
It's just a matter of timf~ till we push our roads
in and put them trees in a lumber mill."
Yo,ing Manley spat out the window. "Them
slobs," he said. "All their education ain't done
a thing for 'em. We got a half million dollars of
equipment just sitting out there rusting. I say
we push the roads through now!"
"Hang on to your britches, boy," said the
elder Manley. ''Look, they're gonna hold a lot
of m~etings, pass around a lot of petitions, do
a lot of crying and it all mE~ans a lot of nothing.
'Cuase while they're still bickerin' in some committee we'll get our authorization, move in and
do our job.''
"But--"
"When there's big money in consideration there
isn't anybody important that'll speak up and stop
operations. Besides, what does a bunch of demonstrators mean? A quarter mHlion of 'em marched
on Washington to stop the war. · Is it stopped?"

Reports submitted on student
financial aid at LCC show that
more than 1,902 students received
fin an c i a 1 assistance through
loans, grants, benefits and deferments during the 1969-70
school year.
Funds totaling $470,257 were
approved and awarded in loans
and grants, plus an additional 800
students were issued tuition deferments averaging $50 each for
Fall Term. Some 250 students
were allowed to charge books and
allowed to c ha r g e books and
supplies at the campus bookstore
in the amount of nearly $10.000.
Of the $470,257 awarded in
grants and loans, $29,538 was
funded by LCC. other loan and
benefit amounts were made in the
following capacities: National
Defense Student Loans (NDS),
$42,205; Econom~c Opportunity

SERIAL LEVY ELECTION
Wd-2:N IS THE SPECIAL ELECTION?
Tuesday, February 10, 1970.
W!fERE WILL IT BE HELD?
At 85 polling places in the College District. They will be announced
in the Regist-Guard.
W:-IAT HOURS WILL POLLING PL.ACES BE OPEN?
8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
W:~IAT IS THE BALLOT TITLE?
WHEREAS, the Lane County Area Education District (Lane
Community College) finds it necessary to levy a continuing district
tax in order to provide capital facilities to mi~et growing enrollm1~nt
demands and to provide such capHal facilities, including land,
buildings and equipmt!nt to properly serve the people of the district
and t o continue its educational program and offer educational
opportunities to all of the people of the district,
THEREFORE. Shall the Lane County Area Education District
levy a continuing district tax .for a period of 5 years in the amount
of $1,500,000.00 each year, totalling $7,500,000.00 in all, requiring
a m2.xirn11rn rate of $.88 per thousand dollars of true cash value of
$1,500,000.00 each year, to be used for the purpose of providing
buildings and equipment for use in connection therewith?
waAT DOES IT MEAN?
The College is asking approval of $1.5 million in serial levy
property taxes in each of the next five years. The total $7 .5 million
would make it possible to complete the campus and thereby provide
additional student spaces to keep the door open to all who want to
attend.
WHY JS IT NEEDED?
This College year LCC will enroll 4,800 full-time equivalent
students (19,000 individuals). Classes begin at 7 a.m. and continue
through 10 p.m .. During peak hours, all parking is filled and all
available classroom space is used. The new serial I e v y would
compete the campus by financing additional spaces for the dramatic enrollment increase projected in the next five years. Here are
.
the expected FTE figures:
1975-76
1974-75
1973-74
1972-73
1971-72
1970-71
~,500 FTE 6,200FTE 6,700FTE 7,200FTE 7,700FTE 8,200FTE.
HO'N WOULD THE MONEY BY SPENT?
Th~ money would be spent to provide student spaces. To assure
flexibility, the Board has not comm~tted itself to specific buildine-s.
pending completion of definitive studies. Additional space:s are needed
as s o on as possible in areas such as M a chine Technology,
Apprentic~ship, Electronics, Flight Technology, Radio and Television
Boradcastmg, general classrooms and laboratories and parking.
HOW MUCH WOULD THE SERIAL LEVY COST?
During the 1970-71 fiscal year, the levy would cost an estimated
88 cents per thousand true cash value. This figure is based on an
estimated true cash value of $1. 75 billion dollars next fiscal year
in the College District. Cost of the levy would decrease as true
cash value increases.

exciting mom,~nts in Owens' football career.
Owens has been actively giving
the ''extra effort" to sports sfoce
his days of neighborhood football
in Santa Monica, Calif. The first
Negro to enroll and thus to participate in College of Idaho athletics, R.C.'s sports were football, basketball and track. After
finishing college Owens had to
face the choice of which sport
he wanted to pursue. The first
year was spent with the Buchan
Bakers of Seattle, a top amateur
bask9tball team.
In 1957 the decision came again, and this timi~ R, C. respon..,;
ded to the National Fo:>tball
League's San Francisco '49ers.
That year he was narn.-~d the
team's Rookie of the Year. During his years playing for the
'49ers, RC. worked out the famed "alley-oop" pass play with his
teammate Y.A. Tittle.
History was made again in 1962
when Owens became the first
player in history ever to block
a field goal attempt at the goal
post. He played for the Baltimore Colts at the time and was
traded to the New York Giants
just before the start of the '64
season.
In 1966, a year after his reti rem en t from football, the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics named R. C.
Owens to their Hall of Fame. The
h?nor was given for his skill,
high level of sportsmanship and
ethical character throughout his

college and professional career.
Owens was given the Alumni
Award

from hisAlmaMater,College
of Idaho. in 1968. A year later
he was elected to the Board of
Directors of the Seattle Rangers
of the Continental Professional
Football League.
R. C. is now a public relations
executive with J.C. Penny Company after being loaned to the Job
Corps for the year 1967-68. During that year he appeared at over

Andre Kole is in the business
of making appearances. And the
mas described as "America's
leading illusionist" is scheduled
to appear at LCC Monday, Jan.18.
Kole, an internationally known
lecturer on the supernatural, will
make his presentation, "From
Fantasy to Reality," on the Lane
campus at noon in the gym lobby
(the old student union). There
will be no admission charge.
The young illusionist has spoken in 43 countries on five continents, and on national television
in 30 countries. His audiences
numbered over 50 million last
year, and this year he will probably be performing and speaking
on more college and university
campuses throughout the world
than any other person.
Kole's LCC appearance will
follow a Sunday night program at
McArthur Court on the University
of Oregon campus. The U. of 0.
presentation, scheduled for 8:00
p.m., will be entitled ''Unmasking
the Unknown.'' Theperformance
includes, among other things, "a
vis i b 1e demonstration of the
fourth dimension." The advance
publicity for the Jan. 18 demonstration states that Kole will" reveal some amazing predictions
of the future which could affect
the life of every person in attendance." Also on theSundaynight
agenda for topics of discussion
are extrasensory perception and
witchcraft. Admission is listed
as $1 with tickets available at the
door.

OCCSA Discusses Student Tax
A 25~ tax on each community
college student was proposed at
the last meeting of the Oregon
C o m mun i t y College S t u d e n t
Association (OCCSA) in order to
finance OCCSA's activities.
The meeting, held at Clackamus Community College in Portland on Dec. 13 and 14 drew some
forty students from Oregon community colleges. •
The tax proposal resulted from
joint efforts by Jim Danie 1s ,
OCCSA president, and Paul Nosbisch, OCCSA vice-president, to
provide funds for the operation of
OCCSA. Currently, OCCSA is
funded by assessing each student
body $50, which is taken from student activity fees.
Daniels said of the proposal:
"We've got to start somewhere.
In order to function, we've got to
have financial support." Nosbisch added: "If we don't have
the right to tax our own mem'Jers
for their own association, then
where are we? How can we
exist?"
Harvey Lockett, student body
president at Portland Community
College, argued that "the OCCSA
funds will have to comia out of
the student fees already assessed
individual colleges, since the students have no power to put a tax
on each student."
student body
Tom Hirons,
president at Chemeketa Community College in Salem and an
opponent of the 25~ tax, said "if
delegates here go along with this
budget, you will be losing your
individual autonomy and the
OCCSA will be undertaking the
jobs individual student governments should do."
A motion to refer the tax proposal to individual community
college student governments

passed by one vote. Daniels and
Nosbisch were asked to develop
a written justification for their
proposal in order to give individual student governments a
frame of reference for intelligent action on the proposal.
other business conducted at the
meeting included:

*

A motion that the OC CSA
president, with the assistance of
legal counsel, draw up Articles
of Incorporation for OCCSA was
passed. Purposes for incorporating OCCSA as a non-profit
corporation were listed as law
suit protection and the possibility of making student application
for federal low-cost ho us in g
funds.
* Delegates approved a motion
that the OCCSA investigate the
feasibility of a low-cost housing
proposal for community college
students.
The OCCSA budget for 197071 was passed, showing a total
predicted expenditure of $4,865.
(The total predicted income from
the proposed 25y per student tax
was estimated at $40, 560.)
* Paul Nosbisch, OCCSA vicepresident, resigned at the end of
the meeting. Nosbisch stated
that the officers of OCCSA, including himself, had drawn up
an agenda to "bring the association into relevance to the students on campuses." "It was
voted down," he said, "by the
organization as a whole and because of the negative vote it
was moving backwards instead
I felt that any

Three lectures on law enforcement were presented at LCC on

dance at the ll:00 a.m. session on
campus. Two members of the
audience were policemen, four
were police science majors, and
two were LCC officials. The lack
of attendance seemed to illustrate
McGrath's comment onAmerica's policy of non-involvement
and disinterest in policemen and
their duties.
McGrath spoke on three major
topics: increase of the crime
rate, problems of law enforcement agencies, and charges of
police brutality.
According to McGrath, crime
has increased 5o% in the last
five years, while the nation's
population has only increased IO%
during the same period. His
statistics indicate criminal activities have increased five times
as much as the country's population.
M-::Grath also said the pro blems of law enforcement agencies are the same today as inl931
and that there have been no major
im1,rovements in methods in the

using th·e same two weapons in
defense of the public--the nightstick and gun--as they were using
100 years ago, he said. This
conclusion, McGrath stated, was
reported by President Johnson's
Crime Commission in 1967. Because of the lack of improvement,
McGrath ass e rte d, AmtJrica's
"policy of non-involvement"
provides for more successful
crime.
McGrath a 1so attempted to
squelch the average citizen's idea
of constant excitement and adventure in police work. Less-than
1/3 of a policeman's time is
spent with criminal activity, he
stated. 70% of his time is spent
in communication, primarily in
the form of writing. "The closest
civilian job related to a cop is
the reporter," he said.
In discussing charges of police
brutality, McGrath said that national statistics indicate only l
policeman in 5 will ever fire his
gun in combat throughout his entire career.
other subjects discussed by
McGrath included requirements
to enter law enforcement agencies. •Only 5% of the nation's
police departments require collee:e work to qualify, he stated.

M0st of these departments are in
the Western United States. McGrath also noted that'' Policemen
and law enforcement are controversial," and that "law enforcem,:mt has failed in many of its
obligations," but did not deal at
any length with this problem.
In a questionandanswerperiod
after the lecture, amemberofthe
audience observed that since in
many areas Police Commissioners, Sheriffs, and other officials
are elected, the average policeman is regulated to some degree
by political consider at ions
instead of justice. M::Grath replied that the problem of political
influence has and is being reprimanded and corrected. The problem is negligible in the Western
United States, he said, and high
police officials, are now being
appointed or promoted to their
positions rather than el ected.

CHESS

The King, playing White, announced a mate in three moves.
Scarcely had he spoken when a
bullet crashed th rough the window, and shattered his Knight.
The minister turned pale, but the
King begged him to remain calm,
place the other Knight on the
board, and work out the mate.
Just as he was about to do so,
Charles glanced at the position
and said, "We do not need the
Knight. There is now a mate in
four moves." The moment he
said this another Turkish bullet
flew across the room and snapped
off his Rook Pawn. The King
remained unruffled. . Again he
looked at the board, and said,
"Let me see if I cannot dispense
with that unlucky Pawn." Then
with a tremendous laugh he
shouted, "I have it! I feel great

Titans win sixth 1n a row
Coach Mel Krause and his undefeated Titans ran their winning
streak to 6 gamt'!S Jan. 9 as they
knocked out the Red Raiders from
Southern Oregon College, 70-680
Th,3 game was highlighted by a
balanced scoring punch and defensive effort by both clubs, with
sophomore forwards Tom Pardun
and Rob Barnes of LCC providing
the big scoring effort.
Pardun netted 25 points, 14 in
the second half, and Barnes whipped 14 through the hoop.
But the Titan win was a team
effort, as two other Titans scored
in double figures. Ken Boettcher
and Rob Foster each contributed
10 points.
The leading scorer for the losing Red Raiders was Warren
Cooper, who ripped in 19 points
but didn't have enough scoring
help from his Southern Oregon
team-mates.
Two calls in the first half on
forward Tom Pardun sent Titan
coach M,31 Krause stampeding to
the sidelines, which d re w two
m(1re fouls--both technicals. Neverthaless, it was the Red Raiders who had the most whistle blows and it hurt the So:ithern
Oregon team., as Lane hit 70% of
their shots on the foul line.

L~1e managed only one victory in the entire meet. This
was by Jim Mcirvin in the 190
lb. division, and it was also the
last match held. Mcirvin grabbed
an early lead and went on to defeat his opponent 6-1.
Lane's only other consolation
for the meet was a draw for Dick
Hoberg in the 167 lb. category.
Hoberg fell behind early but came
back and tied his opponent at

4-4.

Clackamas showed extremely
good ability in the lighter weight
divisions as they kept Lane's
wrestlers in c on st ant trouble
throughout most of the matches.
However, they were only able to
register two pins .
With the exc ept ion of one
member, Rich Culbertson, LCC's
entire wrestling team is from
Lane county. Culbertson is from
Central Linn High School. other
schools represented on Lane's
team are North Eugene, Sheldon,
Florence, and Cr eswell.
The coach of the wrestling team

Titans blitz Cavaliers 95-45
On Jan. 6, the LCC Titans ran
and shot their way to their fifth
successive win blitzing the Concordia Cavaliers 95-45.
Played in the huge Titan gym nasium the game was, for the
most part, a run and gun affair.
The Cavaliers, coming into town
winless after three attempts, relied heavily on their big "gunner"
and the league's leading scorer John Henning. Henning, who has
averaged 32 points per gami':! was
held at 27 points and was forced
to pass off more than he wanted
as the shifting defense of coach
Mel Krause's Titans, switching
from a 3-2 zone to double corner

coverage, held him outside the
key most ot the game.
With only a nine man roster and
two players left at home because
of illness, the Cavaliers came
into town with only seven men.
Oddly enough, they never substituted the starting five went all
the way.
For coach Mel Krause's Titans,
the key to victory was a fine,
balanced, offensive attack, and a
hustling def ens e. All L an e
players saw action, with 10 of
them scoring. Five players
scores were in double figures.
Leading the way in scoring was
ex-Elmira star Paul Stoppel, with

17 points - 10 of them scorea
in the second half. 6' 5" center
Bob Wagner canned 15, (11 in the
first half), and Rob Barnes,
Everett May, and Greg Hoy each
netted 12 points.
Tom Pardun, the team's leading
scorer going into the ballgame
with a 19.3 average, chipped in
•with 9 points. Ken Boettcher, a
standout at Springfield, added 8;
Bobby Foster, another Springfield graduate, dished in with 7;
and Bernie Conklin and Mike
Myers each added 3 ooints.
It is interesting to note that no
member of the Concordia ballclub
is from Oregon. One player is
from Montana, while two are
from Idaho and six from Washington.

The o~ly other LCC victory
was gained by Jim Mcirvin in the
190 lb. weight class. It was a
very exciting match as Mcirvin
just edged out his opponent 6-5.
La.'lle's only other points came
when Mike Pfaller dre:w with his
Mt. Hood opponent, 2-2, in the ·
177 lb. match.
It appears after two losses in
a row that LCC will be stronger
in the heavier weight divisions
than in the lighter weights. As
the season progresses, however,
all of the wrestlers should im-

prove. By the end of the season,
LCC will probably have a wellbalanced team.

COP plans ski trips
For those interested in skiing
and sledding, ski trips to Hoodoo
Ski Bowl will be planned every
Saturday and Sunday this winter
by the Community Outdoor Program (COP). The trips will leave
from the West entrance parking
lot of LCC at 6:30 a.m. and will
return to Eugene around 6: 00 p.m.
A minimum of 5 people must
sign up for the trips in order
for them to take place. Students
and anyone in the Eugene-Springfield community are urged to
participate. Sign-up sheets will
be located next to the information
desk on the second floor of the
Center Buidling at LCC.
For further information, contact
Connie Frazier 343-4618, from 56:30 p.m. weekdays.
