"· I Tuition raise draws temporary student strike threat ROBERT ACKERMAN ANSWERS QUESTIONS from students during an informal meeting Thursday night, March 11, between members of the Senate, students, and Ackerman, LCC Board of Education Chairman.

(Photo by Hewitt Lipscomb) _lane Community College 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 (Continued on page 3) Petitions for ASLCC offices due first day of Spring Term Vol. 6, No. 19 4000 East 30th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon 97405 MarcJ! 1~, J~71 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. CLIFFORD MATSON His departure leaves only two of the original seven LCC Board members still serving--Drs. Dean Webb of Cottage Grove and Albert Brauer of Florence, whose current terms expire in 1972. Matson's replacement on the Board must be a resident of the Lone 2 area. Also to be decided is the atlarge seat currently held by Robert Mention of Eugene. Men- tion was appointed in December of 1970 to complete the term of Richard Williams, who resigned. Mention announced Thursday, March 11, that he will seek election to a full four-year term as at-large representative. He is the first to declare his candidacy for the May 3 election. tures of registered voters who reside in the zone they wish to represent.

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.

After completion of the Adult Education program, he was awarded a tuition scholarship to continue his education at LCC. Bauguess has worked with the .

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. _ ~AMsuRG ER 1 J' D"N'S'7 __ ._ _ _ . _ Burgers, Shakes, Fries _. P~g_e b ----------- . HUGE WILD DISCOUNTS !

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. Brauer's proposal Wednesday night was introduced in the agenda section "other" under "Old Students objected Business." 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-. The Senate Board Chairman 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 it had a valid point, it should investigate and present its findings to the Board at its next meeting.

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. been their primary purpose."

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 Name added 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 and p r o vi de s information and 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 situation similar to White Bird. 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. patronize TORCH Part of the committee r:aport approved by the Council recommended continuation of some cur- • rent procedures regarding finals. Any student who has more than two exams scheduled in one day will be allowed to request rescheduling of the other exams at a different time. Allowing two hours for each final exam will be continued, as will the policy of allowing the decision to give a final exam to be left to the discretion of the instructor and his department chairman. advertisers THE BOOK FAIR Really has tfie used books 45 W 7th Ave. Closed Sunday & Monday VOLVO - SAAB Sales & Service "Euaene's Swedish Car Center" 1601 w. 1,h Sheppa rd Motors 343-8884 Live at The Colleg e Inn f~r $137 .00 per month Price includes: Inquire: Reminder Students and staff members who have materials checked out of the library should return them prior to the end of the term. • -Private bath -Weeklv maid & linen service -Color TV lounges & study areas -20 meals per week - Heat,lights , water -Parking - -'~ ~ 343-9291 1000 Patterson St. The College Inn V ' 7~ Ask about our other prices!

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.

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 RETURNING PLA YEill:l from last year's championship team are Steve Townsend, pitcher (W-4, L-0 for the league); T~m Joll, 2nd base (hit .590); and Ken Reff st r u P, 3rd base (hit .300).

For his fine year, he was voted the team's most outstanding wrestler. Pat Hughes was voted the team captain.

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. 31 32 23 26 53 58 ·Tournament results SEMI-FINALS: Thurs., March 11 Faculty - 55; The Team - 50 Jocks - 65; Popes - 62 FINALS: Friday, March 12 Consolation: Popes - 54; The Team - 51 Championship: Jocks - 58; Faculty - 53 Final standings Springfield Jocks Faculty Stuffers Bishops Popes The Team Yo-Yo's Parks Panthers Weikel's Weaklings Trumbull's Tramps Plug Nichols Purscelley's Pumpers 8 8 8 6 4 4 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 5 5 6 8 8 8 Trulcosifz talces scoring honors intramural b as k et b a 11 scoring champion.
