A proposed student strike at
LCC was abandoned Thursday-at least temporarily--as the Student Senate found alternate means
of opposing a $10 increase in
tuition.
The strike threat was issued
Wednesday, March IO, by ASLCC
President Warren Coverdell at
a regularly scheduled meeting of
the LCC Board of Education,
during which the Board approved
4-3 a tuition increase for next
year.
Board member Dr. Albert
Brauer proposed that in-district
rates for full-time students be
raised from $70 to $80 per term,
and that part-time students pay
$8,00 per credit hour ratherthan
the current $7 .50. Tuition rates
for out-of-district students he
set at $170 per term instead of
$140.
Brauer argued that failure to
increase tuition might result in
defeat of LCC's proposed budget, to be submitted to voters
April 13. It would be a psychological advantage, he· said,
if students participated in reducing the increased costs. It
was also argued that LCC's tuition is the lowest in the state
and that tuition accounts for less
than 20% of the operating costs

of the college.
Boa rd member Ca the rine
Lauris said a smaller increase
in tuition would create the same
psychological effect. She proposed tuition be raised to $76
rather than $80. Her proposal
was rejected 4-3, after which
Dr. Brauer's was approved by
the same margin.
Board members supporting the
increase were Drs. Brauer of
Florence, Dean Webb of Cottage
Grove and Clifford Matson of
Junction City, and Robert Freeman of Eugene. Opposing the
increase were Mrs. Lauris and
Robert Mention of Eugene, and
_
Board Chairman Robert Ackerman of Springfield.
During the Board's consideration, student body officers argued that the increase would result in financial hardship on students, many of whom are at or
below p o v e rt y level incomes.
Concern for a "saleable" budget, they indicated, was resulting
in a lack of concern for the effect
such an increase would have on
students. Student Senate officials
also argued that students would
be paying a disproportionate
share of the increased costs,
since most are taxpayers--either

Two LCC Board positions open
Two p o sit ions on the LCC
Board of Education will be filled
at the general school elections
scheduled Monday, May 3.
At stake will be the Zone 2
(Bethel, Harrisburg, Monroe and
Junction City school district
areas) position, and an at-large
seat.
Dr. Clifford Matson, representative of Zone 2 and a charter
member of the Board, announced
Thursday, March 11, that he will
not seek re-election.
Matson, a Junction City dentist
who will complete seven years'
Board service on June 30, says
he feels "the job should be passed
around."
There are "many
highly-qualified and interested
people who could accept this job,"
he said.
Matson was elected to the first
LCC Board in 1964 and re-elected
in 1967. He chaired the Board in
1969-70.

Board must be a resident of
the Lone 2 area.
Also to be decided is the atlarge seat currently held by

Bauguess named new TORCH editor

Mention, an architect, previously served on the Board from
September, 1969, through June,
1970, replacing Lyle Swetland
who resigned. He lost a bid last
May for election to the Board,
then was reappointed.
"I am extremely interested in
promoting the community college
concept," said Mention. "Some
special concerns which I am
anxious to pursue are 1) furthering technical-vocational offerings, 2) making LCC educational opportunities more easily
available to people in the outlying communities, and 3) making
LCC more responsive to the
needs of the people of the district."
Candidates for the at-large
position may reside anywhere in
the college district, which includes all of Lane County and
small parts of Linn, Benton and
Douglas counties.
Candidates must be registered

Bishoff cleverly defines in his
review of the FESTIVAL OF
THE ARTICHOKE as "the branch
of drama built on the premise
that nothing means something and
everything means nothing."
Adopting the "S" and "C"

LCC's Board of Education, at
its meeting Wednesday, March 10,
set April 13 as the date the
college's 1971-72 budget will be
submitted to district voters.
Administration proposals were
cut some $400,000 by the Budget Committee. The final proposal would require an estimated
25 per cent increase in the local
property tax rate.
Currently property owners pay
$1.52 per $1,000 of true cash
value. The new tax rate would
be approximately $1.90 per
$1,000. The owner of a $20,000
home would thus pay $38 per
year as opposed to the current
annual rate of $30.40.
The total college budget calls
for expenditure of some $13.9
million. Of that amount, only
$3. 7 million will be provided by
local property taxes, and only
$1.25 million--the amount outside the current tax base--is
involved in the coming election.
Factors resulting in the increased budget, said college officials, include added enrollment,
inflation in cost of goods and services, salary increases, increase
in fixed costs, and expansion into
outslying districts.
A public hearing on the budget proposal is scheduled for
Wednesday, April 7.

thro~gh owning property or renting--and would be paying increased taxes plus increased tuition.
The students particularly objected to the procedure by which
the tuition proposal was introduced. The Board had, at its
Feb. 24 meeting, rejected 4-3
a proposed increase from $70
to $84 for in-district students.
No increase in part-time rates
was included in that proposal.

night was introduced in the agenda

to introduction of the increase
without prior notification that
it would be placed on the agenda.
Coverdell sugges.ted the Board
delay·action until the issue could
be discussed by all concerned.
After the Board approved the
increase, Coverdell announced
he would convene the Executive
Cabinet of the Student Senate
the following day to propose a
student strike.

The strike call was presented
to the Student Senate at an 11:00
a.m. meeting, and was approved
18-4 with the provision that all
alternatives be explored and that
no strike be called without submitting the question to the entire
student body. This decision was
announced at a noon press conference.
The remainder of Thursday
was spent in exploring the alternatives called for in the strike
approval. In a 7:00 p.m. meeting,
Board Chairman Ackerman met
with students and representatives
of the student gov e r n me n t.
Ackerman was the only Board
member present at the meeting-.

WARREN COVERDELL
ASLCC President
The proposed strike was the
subject of much discussion at
two special S e n a t e meetings
Thursday, March 11, and in a
special evening meeting of students with Board C ha i r ma n
Ackerman.
The Executive Cabinet met at
10:00 a.m. and issued a call for
students at LCC to strike, beginning 1:00 p.m. Friday, March
12, and ending Tuesday night,
March 16. In its statement the
Cabinet condemned the Board
for '' initiating and passing this
proposal without prior notification to student representatives,
u lty."
'. ~~a.f(,:~r:rp~ipp~r~ 9~the~ac_

'' I, in my capacity as Student •
Body President, will follow up
on this matter with a recognized
parliamentarian and the students'
lawyer. If the point in question
is indeed found to be valid, the
Senate will submit its findings
to the Board at its regularly .
scheduled meeting March 24, the
purpose of which will be to call
upon the members of the Board
to re.consider their passage of
the tuition hike."
"Under these circumstances,"
the statement concluded, "we
feel that a strike is totally unnecessary at this time."
Coverdell indicated he would
recommend students propose a
$5 hike in in-district fees instead of the $10 approved, and
a $15 increase in out-of-district rates rather than $30.

During the discussion Student
Senate leaders questioned the
legality of the method by which
the tu it ion increase was introduced. Citing Board policy on
preparation of the agenda, which
calls for notice of 48 hours or
agreement of at least five Board
members in order to place new
business on the agenda, Senatorat-Large Dan Rosen argued the
Board had violated its own policy.
Ros"'en also cited parliamentary
texts which define new business
as including new proposals on a
matter previously discussed.
Ackerman said he felt reconsideration of the tuition increase
was appropriate, and reminded
students of his statement at the
Feb. 24 meeting that defeat of
the proposal did not prevent considering others. He indicated,
however, that if the Senate felt

Mass transit system to be set up during r_egistration~

A survey aimed at establishing
a mass transportation system for·
LCC students will be a part of
Spring Term registration, which
begins Tuesday, March 16.
Students will be asked to complete a card listing identifying
information, where they live,
their daily schedule, and transportation information.
From
these cards, computers will be
used to arrange a series of car
pools.
The purpose of such a transportation cooperative is to bring
people to campus with fewer
vehicles.
Gary Spencer, LCC student and
project coordinator, emphasized
that the transportation card will
not be a part of the registration
packet itself. Participation in
the program will be voluntary.
Those wishing to participate
in the transportation system will
be asked to list:
1). number and schedule of
trips made to and from campus
daily.
2). how the student presently
gets to school (rides, drives, by
bus, other).
3). if they drive, whether students would ride instead.
4). if they drive, whether they
would take rider~, andhowmany.
5). what part of the EugeneSpringfield area the student lives .
in.
Maps will be provided in registration lines and at the transpor-

tation survey tables on the second

floor of the Center Building (near
the Student Senate Office). The
s tu d e n t should locate his residence on the map, which divides
Eugene and Springfield into numbered areas, and then enter the
number of his area on the card.
The p r o j e ct is currently
limited to the Eugene-Springfield
area, which accounts for about
80% of the students registered
at LCC. People in outlying dis.tricts may be organized for a
transportation system at a later
date. Eventually the program
may be expanded to include
faculty and staff as well as students.
After the cards are completed,
they will be cross-matched by
• coµiputer into lists of students
whose class schedules and geographical areas coincide, or are
similar.
Division coordinators will then
contact students by telephone to
arrange car pools. Members of
the car pools would be responsible for arranging details such
as sharing finances.
The telephone interviews will
also serve to determine schedule

,

flexibility and-work students with
inconsistent sch e du I es into
groups.
Arrangements for the car pools
should be accomplished during
about the first 10 days of the term,
Spencer said. The group hopes to
have the groups functional by the
second or third week.
In completing the cards, students are urged to arrange their
hours on campus consistently in
three and two-day blocks--for
example, MWF 9-2; · TuTh 10-1.
If a student is on campus from
9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Monday
and Wednesday, but has a lab
until 2:00 p.ril. on Friday, he
should, if poss i b 1e, list his
schedule as 9-2 for all three days.
Students unable to block their
hours consistently but wishing to
pa rt i c ip ate should list their
schedules and will be contacted
by division coordinators to discuss possible arrangements.
With the three and two-day
blocks, students could participate in two different primary .
groups.
Using the computer,
Spencer said, the possible combinations are almost infinite.
The concept of a transportation cooperative originated as
a class project by a group of
students in John Klobas' sociology class. The project itself
is not sociological, said Klobas,
but the analysis of the group's
motivations and interactions will.
be.
"I'm really tremendousl y
pleased," said Klobas, "that
people could pick apractical pro- ·
ject that can have some worth to .
the school and community and
still use sociological concepts in
the analysis of the way it goes."
The group, composed of Spencer, Jim Sumner, Charles Jesch, '
Calleen Cochran and Faye Glenn~
has been assisted in designing
the project by Klobas and Marston
Morgan, LCC Director of Institutional Planning and Research.
Morgan's department will do the
computer analysis necessary.
The group has also received
the sanction of the Student Senate,
which at its last meeting~
appointed them its "transportation cooperative" committee~
The current project will expand the car pools initiated by
Students for Survival Fall Term,
but on a more systematic basis.
Morgan said possibly 1/5 to
1/3 of the nearly 5,400 student
registering Spring Term might
want to participate in the transportation program.
"I haven't any idea really,"
he said, "that was just a guess.

If we get that kind of response,
that would would be anywhere
from 1,500 to 2,000 students.
We can correlate all that very
efficiently with the computer."
Though the transportation cooperative is a new idea with
few prototypes, Morgan said, it •
is a sound one. If it is successful, he indicated, it will have
several "spinoff" values aside
from the ecological purpose to
cut down on the number of atuomobiles coming to campus.
One such value would be the
lessening oftransportationcosts,
which are the second largest
item of expenditure inastudent's
budget.
,
By lessening that,._ cost on a
systematic basis, M9rgan commented, it makes • the college
accessible to people who otherwise might not be able to afford
to come to LCC. "So from that
point of view--the philosophy of
the college to try· to make it
accessible to all kinds of people--

it's a good idea," ·said Morgan, .cer,- it could also include a"although that might not have , classified section.

as a fund-raising projec_
t for
the group.

Spring Term finals schedu le chang ed
submission of instructors'
grades has been moved from
Friday of Finals Week (which
sometimes c au s e d problems
when exams were scheduled late
on Thursday) to 4:00 p.m. on
the following Monday.
O t he r recommendations approved by the Council included
the direction that no instructor
is to give final exams prior to
the scheduled exam week without
arrangement with their department chairman. Early scheduling
of finals by i n st r u c tors (for
example, during the week preceeding the scheduled exam period) was apparently a particular
problem during Fall Term. In a
survey of approximately 50 students, TORCH reporter Christy
Dockter found about 45% reported
having one or more final exams
before Finals Week.
The Council also directed that
all instructors are to be on campus during -final exam week, un1e s s arrangements have been
made with the department chairman to assure that he can be
reached if necessary.
The revisions of Finals Week
policy will not become effective
until Spring Term. A motion introduced in the Council meeting
to institute them Winter Term
was defeated, primarily because
of the lack of time for processing
them.
The changes in scheduling were
proposed by an ad hoc committee
appointed by the Council last
December to review scheduling,
define the term "final exam,"
and c 1a r if y the term "dead
week" (the week prior to Finals

Making Finals Week pleasant
is oroba~ly impossible.
But beginning Spring Term,
Finals Week may be at least
a bit more tolerable.
At its meeting March 4, LCC's
Instructional Council approved
changes in Spring Term finals
scheduling, among them the elimination of 7:00 a.m. exams and
the extension of testing into Friday of Finals Week.
Starting time for the f i rs t
examination of any day will be
changed from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00
a.m. This change will require
extending the testing period, as
currently testing is completed
by Thursday through the use of the
earlier hour. In keeping with
these changes, the deadline for

to Who's Who
The name of one of LCC's
nominees for "Who's Who Among
Students in American Junior Colleges" was omitted from the
listing which appeared in the
March 3 issue of the Torch.
Sophomore Social Science major Eric Torkelson, of Eugene,
should have be~n included among
those nominated for recognition
in the national publication.
Torkelson was instrumental in
establishing LCC's People for
People program, which recently
began draft counseling services

referral on the problem of drugs.
Torkelson is employed as a
research assistant by the Institute Research Company. He
hopes to become a social psychologist, working in a clinic

Week). The committee refused to
define what constitutes a final
exam, commenting there is no
way it can adequately be defined
and that "the issue would be
further confused if we tried."
In regard to "dead week,"
the committee recommended the
college refrain from describing
the week before finals in those
terms and that there should be no
official policy concerning activities during the period. Concern
about the use of the term "dead
week" arose because the term
has been interpreted in various
ways. The concept originally described a period in which official
student activities were not scheduled. In rejecting the "dead
week" concept, the committee
recommended t h at instructors
avoid overloading students with
work during the last week of
classes.

Part of the committee r:aport
approved by the Council recommended continuation of some cur- •

Any student who has more than

Allowing two hours for each
final exam will be continued, as

decision to give a final exam to
be left to the discretion of the
instructor and his department

points, giving up 40 for a winning spread of 59 points.
Two weeks ago the Jocks'
victory string was stopped at
seven, as the Bishop's Popes
used a well-balanced offense, and
a tight man-to-man defense, to
stop the Jocks 56-52. The question was raised, who really is
number one?

With the three-way tie for
first, the Jocks drew the Popes
for a tough rematch in Thursday's semi-finals, while the
Faculty luckily drew The Team
for their opener.
Fans were presented with two
semi-finals games that went down
to the wire, as both were exciting
and close.

by Dave Harding
The Springfield Jocks proved
their only loss of the season was
a fluke, as they withstood two
pressure-packed tournament
games last week to become the
1971 intramural basketball champions.
Throughout much of the intramural season the Jocks used a
fierce half-court press, along
with a searing offense, to rip
apart most of their foes.
Twice they won by 44 points,
and against the Pumpers they
ran up a s e as o n high of 99

shots for a 65-62 win.
In Friday's consolation game,
a "who-cares" type match, the
Popes used a last-minute press
to come from behind for a 5451 victory, and third place.
The atmosphere was a little
different, though, for the championship game.
The Faculty Stuffers were in
it for the first time--and they

Baseball opener set for April 1
The LCC athletic scene shifts
soon from the barren bleachers
of the Titan gym to the barren
stands of Civic Stadium, and the
start of LCC's second baseball
season.
With basketball over, new head
baseball coach Fred Sackett is
preparing his hardballers for
their April 1 opener against the
University of Oregon j.v. team
at Howe Field at 3 p.m.
So far, most of the positions
are still up for grabs, as only
six players return from last
year's championship team.
Last year the Titans won the
Southern division title, going undefeated in ten league games.
They finished third in the state
tournament in Portland.
Whether Sackett turns the trick
with another undefeated record
remains to be se~n, but he has
the talent, and the Titans should

again win the Southern Division
flag.
This year only two pitchers
return from last year's team.
Both are lefties -- Steve Townsend and C.J. Toedtemeier.
The absence of Reggie Gardner, Lee Holly, John Elder,
and Ray Meduna will be felt,
but helping Steve and C.J. will
be some hard throwing rookie
candidates in Larry Skirvin, Randy Taylor, and Ron Goss.
Skirvin is from Thurston High
school, while Taylor comes from
Sweet Home and Goss from Creswell.
With the loss of Rob Barnes,
the competition at first base is
pretty heavy - where four are
battling it out for the opening day
nod.
Six-foot, five-inch Dave Gibson
is a proven glove man from Thurston High school, and carries a
powerful bat ... at least he used
to. At 25 years, he just got out

of the service, and time will tell
if he has lost his touch.
A 1s o at first b as e is Gary
Chambers (Roseburg), Paul Sudith (Oakridge), and Gary Porter
(England).
Sophomore Tom Joll returns to
shortstop with Duke Parks from
Thurston his likely backup man.
Veteran Ken Reffstrup will be
at third this year, at least for
most of the season. Reffstrup will also see action behind
the plate, and in the outfield.
Hardhitting Rod Laub will be
used the same way this year.
Last year he split duty between
the outfield and catching -- when
he wasn't hitting balls out of
Civic Stadium. He parked four
of them last year, and now he's
a year older and smarter.
Another candidate behind the
plate is Gary Glasencapp from
South Eugene, and Churchill's
Dale Taylor.
Helping Reffstrup at third base
will be Don Hiney.
The outfield possibilities are
wide, wide open. Only 26-yearold Tony Taormina seems set.
Tony played high school ball at
Roseburg, and then went into
the service. At 26, he will represent the team as their elder
statesman this year.
Sackett, a three-ye;r letterman at Washington State University, is an advocate of the hit
and run style of baseball.
With the hit and run, he likes
to steal, and the LCC basepaths
may be a congested place for opponents this year.

Titan sportsmen

honored at banquet
Two wrestlers and two basketball players were honored Thursday , March 4, at the first annual Winter Sports Dinner.
Although Lane's 1970-71 varsity wrestling team didn't have
a good year, Jim Mcirvin did.
He was the only Titan to reach
the finals of the OCCAA Tournament. For his fine year, he was
voted the team's most outstanding wrestler. Pat Hughes was
voted the team captain.
In basketball, coming off a
17-7 record (the best in the
school's history), Willie Jones
was voted the team's most outstanding player, and Terry Manthey, a 6' -4" blonde cut down
late in the season with a knee
injury, was named the team captain fo~ 1971.

FACULTY
JOCKS

were sky-high ready.

by Dave Harding

In the second half the Jocks
used clutch shooting, and strong
rebounding on both boards from
Rick Wier, Everett May, and
Kevin Gallagher, to build a. lastminute lead, and ran out the clock
for a 58-53 victory and the intramural basketball championship.

The Jocks were minus 6'4",
250 lb. Bernie Conklin, and the
rest of their six-man roster was
sick or crippled.
Of the five st art er s, only
guards Ken Boettcher and Bob
Barley were in good shape, along
with reserve Dennis Harding.
Everett May, the Jocks' leading
scorer averaging 19.0 points a
game, was badly hampered by a
blister on his right leg, and the
other forward, Kevin Gallagher,
was playing with the flu.
The Jocks benched their halfcourt press , and stayed with
a 2-1-2 defense in order to cut
out as much running as possible.
The game was close all the
way, and the lead changed hands
several times in the first half.
When the halftime buzzer
sounded, the Jocks had a narrow
32-31 lead.

'Artichoke': student productions 'almost make it'

by Jon Haterius
''She carried us through our
day of despair ... "
So goes a line in the first
play of "Festival of the Artichoke," which opened at LCC
Friday night, March 5.
Unfortunately, the first student-produced play, "Bo Peep
Follies," failed to carry the
audience through its despair as
the play unfolded, or folded, in
the Forum Theatre.
Student Director Ralph Steadman did the best he could with
the play about Bo Peep and her
seven "children" All three plays
Friday and Saturday night were

Absurd." "Bo Peep Follies"

Off-Campus Students
Students paying their own utility bills-that is, living off1campus where utilities are not included in the rent-should
