Vol. 6, No. 20 4000 East 30th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon 97405 April 6, 1971 News associ ation, establi shed Establishment of the Oregon Community College News Association (OCCNA) and expression of opposition to House Bill 1679, which would deny the use of student fees for college newspapers, highlighted a meeting of representatives of eight community college student newspapers Saturday, April 3, at LCC. Twenty-four p e op 1e, representing papers at LCC, Portland Community College, Southwest Oregon Community College, Clackamas Community College, Umpqua Community College, Mt. Hood Community College, LinnBenton Community College, and Central Oregon Community College, attended the meeting. The group voted to establish the OCCNA on a formal basis, with goals of 1) improving community college newspapers by~ providing supportive services, such as the exchange of infor,,, mation and ideas, evaluation, and the sponsoring of workshops in various areas of journalism, 2) establishing as a subsidiary of the Association an Oregon Community College News Service (OCCNS) for the exchange of news between colleges, and 3) expressing consensus on Legislative and other issues affecting community colleges Such an association was first suggested by Pete Sorenson, editor of the SWOCC Southwester, during Fall Term. The idea was explored at an informal meeting of community college newspaper personnel at COCC in Bend on Feb. 13, and the organization was formalized at the LCC meeting. During its discussion of the Association, the group heard Carl Webb, Secretary and General Manager of the Oregon Newsp ape r Publishers Association (ONP A)-a professional trade association-discuss the nature and purpose of that group, and its activities. Procedures by which college newspapers can qualify for associate membership in ONPA were also explained.

Included are scenes from the nursing, paradental, mass communications, and mechanics departments and the Study Skills Center. Also featured are interviews with LCC President Eldon Schafer, Administrative Assistant Bert Dotson, and LCC's first president, Dale Parnell. William Bristow, the first Board of Education chairman, will also be featured. LCC budget goes to voters April _13 Unsoeld sl~tes lCC lecture on environmen tal prospects William Unsoeld, a world-ren owned mountaineer who has spent most of his life outdoors, will take a look at the future of the environment during a public address at LCC Tuesday, April 6. Unsoeld will discuss "Man's Prospects on a Shrinking Globe" at 8 p.m. in 301 Forum Building on campus. Admission is free. A mountaineer for the past 33 years, Unsoeld was a member of the American Mt. Everest expedition which in 1963 recorded the first ascent of Everest's west ridge route and the first successful travers of a Himalayan peak. Loss of nine toes during that expedition has n' t dampened his enthusiasm for the outdoors. UnSoeld, 45, has climb e ct extensively in the Washington and Oregon Cascades, taught mountaineering, and worked as a mountaineering guide. Twenty-three students are vying for 11 student government positions during LCC's Spring election campaign. Campaigning will end April 20, with the election to be held the following day, Wednesday, April 21. Candidates are as follows: Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Un so e 1 d attended high school in Eugene and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in physics from Oregon State University. He also holds a bachelor of divinity degree from Pacific School of Religion and a Ph.D in philosophy from the University of Washington. Unsoeld was an assistant professor of philosophy and religion at OSU from 1958-62 before joining the Peace Corps in Nepal. He became director of the project in 1963 and served as advisor to the Nepal government for rural institutions and family planning. _ More recently, Unsoeld was executive vice-president of Outward Bound, Inc. in Andover, Mass., from 1967-70. He is currently a member of the planning faculty at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash~ p I aced on technical-vocational education. By controlling course offerings, the college can influence the kinds of students enrolling. This is being done, according to Watkins, but the proposed budget is so tight that it is 1i m it in g some tech-voe growth. Commenting on the budget, LCC President Eldon Schafer said it is already lower than he recommended. "I don't see where additional cuts can be made without limiting enrollment," he added.

Page 2 THE TORCH, April 6 EtiaMt at~e.e Consider the benefits On Tuesday, April 13, the voting public of the Lane County Area Education District will be asked to approve an LCC operating budget approximately $1.2 million over Oregon's six per cent constitutional limitation. Almost every educational budget in the past has been supported by the traditional plea to open wider the doors of education. That plea is still, and always will be, valid. However, we are presently facing a "voters' revolt" caused by the continuous rise in property taxes over the last decade. Yet before joining this "revolt," voters should consider the benefits, other than educational, they receive from the tax dollars spent on LCC. For every one dollar collected in property taxes, LCC has put back $4.80 into the local economy. Since 1965, LCC property taxes have totaled $7. 7 million, and the college has returned $37 million to Lane County in construction and operating costs alone. And if only half of the welfare recipient students who have passed through just one program (Manpower Development and Training Act) at LCC in the past five years are employed in this area, the net financial benefit to the community is over $2.25 million annually. It is often difficult to realize some of the values of an educational institution, yet with every LCC budget passed, Lane County has become economically stronger. LCC offers the public a great deal more than simply education. The minori ty studen t by Omar Barbarossa fellow students.

The Board, acting on advice from its attornery, Edward Harms, decided to take no action on the students' claim that the tuition raise passed March 10 violated the Board's rules of procedure and recognized rules of parliamentary procedure. Harms said the Board was acting within the scope of its legal rights when the decision was reached to raise in-district tuition $10 per term and out-ofdistrict tuition $30 per term. Student leaders claimed the manner in which the raise was introduced and passed violated the established rules of the Board and parliamentary procedure as outlined in Roberts Rules of Order and Davis' Rules of Parliamentary Procedure. The students sought legal opinion on the matter; however, the opinion of the students' attorney was strongly rebutted by Harms. According to Board Chairman Robert Ackerman, the only way Ii W • a • ,a the matter could be brought up for discussion again was to have one of the members who voted for the raise ask the Board to reconsider it. None of the members did this. Ackerman then closed the subject and went on to other Board business. Members of the Board noted that the proposed Student Bill of Rights was too long to discuss completely at a single meeting. After a general overview, LCC magazine seeks art works The Concrete Statement, LCC's literary-arts magazine, is in need of several types of art work. Pen and ink drawings, along with photographic reproductions of art such as ceramics, are being requested to help fill out the first issue. Also needed are people willing to do illustration work such as cartoons and people to help with magazine layout. For further information on the magazine, contact: Don Johnson in the Print Shop, ext. 351; Terry Conrad in the Art and Applied Design Department, ext. 307; or Marilyn Waniek in the Language Arts Department, ext. 249. Ackerman suggested the Board and student representatives discuss 13 sections of the 40-section document at each of the next three Board meetings.~ Board member Richard Freeman expressed reluctance toward the Bill, saying that to him a "bill of rights" expresses "unhappiness" among the students and that some of the rights of students have been overlooked. He further commented that he felt students at Lane were happy with the school and they way Art Dept. changes title The LCC Department of Fine and Applied Arts has a new name Arts and Applied Design. As k e d to comment on the c h an g eJ Department Chairman Rosco Wright discussed the reorientation of the department implied by the change in name. Wright believes the term "fine arts" may be "pushing it," as the t e rm is usually associated with a four-year course centered around painting and drawing which excludes classes with an occupational slant. He feels Art and Applied Design is a name that relates more directly to the clas- Hodges resigns chairmanship Cecil Hodges, chairman of LCC Health and Physical Education Department since 1965, has resigned as department head to return to full-time teaching.

Applications from persons on and off the campus will be invited about mid-April. LaGrandeur said of Hodges: '' The Administration feels that, during his tenure as department chairman, Mr. Hodges assisted in developing one of the- finest physical education facilities in any community college anywhere. He also has recruited an outstanding staff." Hodges, 38, has been in education for 13 years. He taught and coached at North Eugene High School from 19_58 to 1963, then tau g ht at Springfield College, Mass., for two years before coming to LCC. He received a bachelors degree in 1955 and masters in 1958, both from the U of o. ~es offered and to LCC's public 1~age as a vocational school.

Wright noted that "artists are inventive and creative people.

ASLCC President Warren Coverdell replied that the Student Senate is a representative body elected by the students and that he felt the Senate was acting in the best interest of LCC students. · He added that the Bill of Rights was not aimed at specific current problems, but was designed to "prevent unhappiness in the future." Coverdell also pointed out that every opportunity had been given to students and other school personnel to react to the document, and that so far few have commented on it. Mark Parrish, Student Publicity Director, said little djrect criticism of the bill has been made by students or staff. According to Parrish, the only kind of feedback the Senate ever receives is negative. Since few negative comments have been ..,,_: made, he feels it implies a general acceptance by students. After its regular meeting,, the Board met in closed session for more than an hour with L C C President Eldon Schafer. Following an evaluation of his performance in his first 10 months at LCC, the Board agreed to raise Schafer's salary next year from $27,500 to $29,500.

CEPIRG officials feel universities are part of this system. Schools receive huge grants from government and business in return for performing specified researrh and training future executives, and the boards of directors are dominated by business interests. For students, OOPIRG feels that universities are the most visible part of the system, as we now know it. They are the institutions that have the greatest effect on students' lives. As such, some· OSPIRG students feel the institutions and businesses are the most natural and deserving targets of much student protest. However, OSPIRG is seeking to "change the system" nonviolently via the courts, mass media, education of future taxpayers, property owners and government offiecials. Previously, the highest num- Schafer elected to Hall of Fame ~- 4\ ,· "• •, 1., 1 ~11 \' . .,, ~, , bers of student protests have always been in the "slack season" -- when school was out. Students do not have time to go to school and ''bitch at the system" at the same time. Now, however, if OSPIRG develops as many students hope it will, all students of higher education will have a full-time staff of trained lawyers and scientists to work for them -- and just as important -- to work within the system of American society and government, using non-violent means to do so. This generation of students has been called the most highly educated and aware generation in American history. It is also concerned with social and govern- • ·; •, i , ,, ,' ment problems that forgoing generations did not pay much attention to because those problems did not exist in the earlier part of the century, . or they did not wish to get involved, or, most likely, the earlier generation was not "turned on" enough to recognize and do something about their social oroblems. The first few months he was at LCC, President Eldon Schafer said that when he was a student he was not as conGerned with social problems as are the students now. He said, in part, that he felt this generation of Americans is a "concerned" generation, much more so than any other past generation of American students. r----------------- ·---------7 SELECT THE U.S. I lII MARINES SERVE WITH THE FINEST Visit or call your Marine Recruiter for details lll Willamette, Eugene 342-5141 Ext. 206 I ~ :II .

The Portland firm. received Board of Education approval for the project in January. (Photo by Hew Lipscomb) Student ~ousing plans revealed Representatives of Adult Student Housing, Inc. (ASH), met with LCC administrators March 25 to discuss site selection and status of funding applications for proposed LCC student housing. Present were Phil McLennan, president of the Portland firm; Robert Pearson, vice-president of operations; and Tod Dekanter, architect. ASH will begin a 2,000,000 housing project next fall if its application for funds is accepted by the federal department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). No college money will be involved. The ASH representatives presented results from a survey of 735 LCC students. Thirty per cent of the students polled were, 20 to 22 years old; 32% were 23 to 25 years old; and 28% were 25 years of age or older. Married students made up 47% of the survey, and 53% of the students were single. The builders estimate the planned project will house 231 single students and 60 married students. Of the students answering the survey, 54% are paying over $110 per month for rent. Percentages of the kinds of apartments being rented are; one bedroom, 22%; two bedroom, 64%; and three or more bedrooms, 14%. In the proposed project for Lane, 20% of the housing would be one bedroom apartments, 20% would be three bedroom, and 60% would be two bedroom units. A location for the project has been chosen in Springfield behind KORE radio station and one block fr o m Interstate Highway 10 5 which connects with Interstate5.

The Titans scored a convincing sweep over the Clackamas Community College Cougars in a Saturday, April 3, doubleheader and split with the Oregon j.v.'s Thursday, April 1. This record is better than had been expected, as the Titans only have four returning inf i e 1 de rs, two returning pitchers, and only two outfielders who have any experience. LCC baseball coach Fred Sackett attributed the three victories to some timely hitting and a good pitching performance by Randy Taylor in the second game of the -c1ackamas series. The complied figures showed the Titans out-hit their opponents .240 to .162. In the error department, the Titans came out on top with 20, while the Cougars' and Ducks' errors totalled only 11. On the topic of errors, Sackett commented: ''I expected a lot of errors from this ball club I I ' l I at first because we haven't played that much together. I was surprised with our hitting. We got to hit only about three times (in practice) because of inclement weather prior to our opener." Lane's leading hitter during the first four games was Chuck Dickerson with a .400 average. The leading RBI producer was veteran Tom Joll with four runs batted in. Joll hit .330 and has a double and a triple to his credit. Ron Laub was the only Titan to hit a home run, connecting in Thursday's game. The next home game is this afternoon, April 6, at 3:30 p.m. in Civic Stadium against the Oregon State j.v.'s.

"For this reason it is important that my advanced students be prepared mentally as well as physically," he added. Combs said karate is 75% mental and 25% physical training. Advanced students are trained more on mental preparation than in physical combat. However, to hold the interest of his beginning students, Combs has to reverse those percentages.

The UCLA AU-American forwar ct, flashing an occasional smile but displaying the confidence that led the Bruins to three straight national titles, said he accepted Portland's offer over one by the Texas Chapperals of the ABA because "the Trailblazers offered more money." In announcing the signing of Wicks, Blazer executive Vice President Harry Glickman said, Lane captures 4-way track meet by Jim Allgood Paced by the sparkling performances of Tim Bishop, John Mays and Dan Van Camp, the LCC Titans swept on to an easy victory over the Oregon jv 1 s, Portland Track Club and Oregon Track Club at LCC April 3. The blue-clad Titans ran up 66 points, compared to 51 for the Oregon jv's. Portland Track Club placed third with 43 1 followed by the potent Oregon Track Club which had a surprisingly low score of 16. Despite a blustering wind, John Mays of LCC tied his record in the 100 yard dash with a 9.5 clocking. The ti_me was official as the wind factor was 5.8 miles per hour.

Although it is' primarily a sporting organiza tion which c-ompetes in matches all over the Northwest, the club can get no support from the LCC Athletics Department.

The Senate grant pays for only a small portion of the expenses club me m be rs incur. Participants must pay for their uniforms, transportation (to and from meets), accommodations, food and all other expenses necessary to compete as an athletic team. Combs is happy with the showing his team has made in tou rnaments this year. The LCC squad has won lO places in 4 meets: a second place in the black belt division, two first and second places in brown belt division, one second and two thirds in colored belt, and twothirdplaces in white belt division. This record is impressive since the squad has been in training for only one term and has been competing against teams which have trained for up to three years. One of the most promising male participants in karate is Thani Al Hamed from Kuwait. Hamed, holder of a green belt, is expected to receive his black belt in about two years. He then will go home and open a karate school. Karate is not only a man's sport. There are four lad~s-Sally McNeese, Paula Loftin, Pat Jones and Mary Danavin-enrolled in the advanced program.

Was the difference strictly.dollars? ''I would have to say yes," • he said. The Chapperals had announced and defense two weeks ago that they were prepared to offer Wicks a deal similar to that given 7'2" Jacksonville center Artis Gilmore by the Kentucky Colonels of the ABA. Gilmore's contract reportedly was a ten-year agreement loaded with annuities and endowments, totaling 2.3 million dollars. Portland's offer was considered to be better in terms of cash, as well as tax shelters. That's the only reason Wicks signed with Portland. He had no leanings to either league .. "My leanings were as strong as the offers were," he said c an did I y when questioned by newsmen at an afternoon press' conference at the Trailblazer offices. Wicks averaged 21.3 points per game this past season and helped UCLA win its fifth straight national championship two weeks ago against Villanova. He suffered a badly bruised toe in the semi-finals, but he said Friday "he was just resting it now - reflecting on another championship for the Bruins."

Saturday, May 1, the LC C Karate Club, with the aid of the Adu 1t Education Department, will sponsor a tournament at Lane. Combs expects up to 300 participants and a large audience at the meet, the first to be held in the Eugene area. Admission will be $1.00 for students and $1.50 for nonstudents. Combs said the karate team wants to represent LCC at all tournaments possible and hopes the Athletics Department will be in a position to help the team in the future. ' 'The Senate just doesn't understand the needs of the Athletics Department," said Combs. "The athletic program is the most useful and used in school," he added, and he feels the Senate is not contributing enough support to the athletic programs at Lane.

They felt the intent on the part of the police department was good, but that the quality of the procedure could be improved. Allen indicated the police were willing to listen to suggestions for guidelines. As for the issue of harassment, the counselors felt a pattern did exist of stopping Black students day and night for identification checks. According to West, when an officer can't give a reason for a stop a feeling of hostility is going to develop. West added, "If this is being done in an All-American city, what is being done in the unAmerican cities in Oregon?" The c o u n s e 1 o r s stated they phmned to meet with Chief Allen again, and said it was agreed that communications should be kept open. According to West, 4 ' We have to live here so we must meet with the police again-it should be a continuing thing." While counselors were confering with the police on the issue of harassment, others were taking more direct action.

One of the major complaints is that of routine stops or identification checks of Black students by the police, often detaining them while enroute to school or work. Three counselors from Lane, aware that this has become an issue, met with Police Chief Dale Allen to get both sides of the story. The counselors~onathan West, Jay Jones and Lee Harvey-went not as representatives of LCC, but as concerned citizens of the Black Community. The counselors felt students shouldn't have to deal with a problem of this nature and were pleased that students were willing to let them take action. West stated many people, including college administrators, had expressed concern but were not 4 ' actively concerned."

Thomas feels the problems of' ha r as s men t must be handled through legal means in the best interest of the people. He further stated that no violence has been proposed or even discussed. Ac c o rd i n g to Thomas, the Black students want to be left alone like the majority of students in the Eugene area-without police harassment. He pointed out that, "it is ludicrous for the police to attack so many for the actions of so few."

The "boot," which clamps on to the wheel rim of an improperly parked car and prevents its removal, was to have been used only on frequent violators who had ignored three or more citations. Mark Rocchio, head of campus security, explained that the matter was one of misunderstanding, and that is will be straightened out at the next Board meeting, Wednesday, April 14. The clamps themselves -there are two sizes to fit any type of car -- cost LCC $90, but would theoretically save the school and car owners considerable money compared with the present policy of having cars towed away. Mos t frequent violators are those who park without authorization in the reserved spaces for handicapped students. DANSKIN 10 styles 12 colors I LEGALIZED gambling in Oregon.
