President-elect

Lane Community College

Vol. 6, No. 23

4000 East 30th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon 97405

April 27, 1971

Omar Barbarossa, a 28-yearold business major, was named
ASLCC President for 1971-72 in
an election which drew a record
1,051 voters.
In the April 14 contest, Barbarossa polled 421 votes to 316
for incumbent Warren Coverdell
and 285 for write-in candidate
Suzanne McGill. Barbarossa will
take office for the last three
St u dent Senate meetings this
year.
The vote was the largest recorded at LCC, representing
about 20% of those eligible. In
last year's election, 489 students
participated. The turnout this
year may be credited in part to the fiercely contested presidential race.
Ba r b a r o s s a, who plans to
transfer -----from Lane to a fouryear university to seek a degree
in college administration, began
his second year at LCC Spring
Term.
Other officers elected include:
First Vice President - Bob
G i 1breath, a radio-television
broadcasting major, who polled
627 votes to Wes Kight's 140
as a write-in candidate.
Second Vice President - Ron
Davis, no academic major declared, who won over Mel Wood,
487 to 385,

Treasurer - incumbent Cherrie Mc Murray, a home economics
major, who defeated David Red
Fox by a vote of 614 to 314 .
Publicity Director - incumbent
Mark Parrish, a history major,
who was running unopposed and
drew 706 votes.
In the race for Senator-atLarge, five candidates were running for the five available positions. Paul Christensen, an engineering major, drew 584 votes;
Sharon Danford, child care major, polled 580; Merlin Finn, in
the airframe program, 559; Steve
Leppanen, anthropology, 520; and
John Murmis, airframe, 493.

CHERRIE Mc MURRAY
Treasurer

MARK PARRISH
Publicity Director

Barry Flynn, running unopposed for the position of Senator from Arts and Applied Design, received 542 votes. Greg
Browning, running unopposed as
Senator from Language Arts,
polled 454.
In the two contested senatorial
races, Katy Eymann defeated
Patricia Reid 403-260 to become
Senator from Social Science, and
Jerry Hamaker polled 342 to
Gary Hercher's 314 as Senator
from Mechanics.
Several departments had no
candidate file for the position.
These vacancies will be filled
in Fall Term elections.

Springfield residents oppose

LCC student housing proiect
Springfield residents objected
to plans for building an LCC student housing complex just west
of radio station KORE at a Springfield Planning Commission work
session Monday, April 19.
Adult Student Housing (ASH),
Inc., a Portland non-profit housing corporation, has proposed
building a privately-financed $2
million, 150-unit apartment complex for LCC students.
ASH appeared before the commission to request a zoning
change for its nine-acre site
from light industrial to residential.
Several Springfield residents
protested tha.t such a project
would increase property taxes
and would be in an area where
"there are already too many
apartments." They stressed that
sch o o Is would become overcrowded by LCC students' children, and that apartment dwellers
would not be able to keep up the
appearance of the new complex.
ASH Preside11t Phil McLennan
said his company ''will anticipate paying property taxes," even
though it is a nonprofit organization, and that ASH does not
have the samP. tax exempt status
schools do when they build student housing.
He also said only a small percentage of the married students

have children, and the impact
of such a project would be much
less than if it were open to the
general public. Another ASH representative assured residents
the buildings and grounds would
be maintained.
Since no action is taken at
commission work sessions, the
ASH zoning proposal has been
placed on the agenda for the
May 3 meeting.

~f>..

that students are already in majority since there is only one
representative from each of the
other campus segments. He observed that he would like to
see students do the major share
of work on an institutional bill
of rights and receive the credit
for such a document.
Mark Parrish, Student Publicity Director, argued that students are in a "no-choice situation" and that "we're willing to
do it (draft an all-campus bill
of rights) only if students are in
majority.''
Social Science instructor Milt
Madden commented that he didn't
see the committee asan''antagonist group" and that there
w as no need to w o r r y about
''over-voting."
While there was no final decision on the makeup of the committee, Thursday's informal discussion ended with agreement to
begin work next week on a preamble for the institutional bill
of rights. The committee will
also begin reviewing the first
sections of the student docum3nt.
Committee members include
Schafer, Rosen, Parrish, Madden, ASLCC President Warren
Coverdell, Head of Security Mark
Rocchio, and Administrative Intern Maryann Miller, who serves
as the committee's secretary.
The committee will continue
its weekly sessions Thursday
evening, April 29.

TORCH, April 27

Etittouat~ ea
New election would gain little
Being dissatisfied with the results of an
election is common-particularly if the candidate
you support loses.
But dissatisfaction with the ASLCC elections,
held April 21, seems to hinge not so much on
the results as on campaign and electiou proA petition is currently circulating
cedures.
asking that the election be invalidated and a reelection held because of alleged violations of
these procedures. Another petition being circulated asks students not to sign the petition
calling for a new election. Discussion of the
election took most of the Senate meeting April
22, and involved heated discussion by those
present.
No formal complaint with specific allegations that would justify a new election has as
yet been received by the Board of Tellers.
A complaint was filed on behalf of one of the
presidential candidates on election night, before the count was released, but was quickly
withdrawn by the candidate.
Previous Senate procedure has been to accept
the Board of Tellers' report on the election
count and to ratify the results after three weeks,
during which time any complaint about the election may be filed.
The filing of such a complaint is certainly
possible-but would it be desirable ?
From reports received, and from observation of the campaign and election, it is apparent
there might be enough specific complaintssuch as campaigning at or very close to the
polls while voting was in progress, students
active in campaigning for specific candidates
being allowed to serve as tellers, and students
being allowed to cast ballots without proper
validation of their student body card-to support
a formal charge. The election was unorganized
and not sufficiently well-controlled, and that
is potentially disastrous--particularly in a contest as heated as this one was. The Senate,
however, is to be commended for recognizing

these problems and establishing a committee to
define proper election procedures and means of
enforcing them.
Though the election was marred byproblemsand though the TORCH did not support Barbarossa's candidacy-the TORCH feels it would
be unwise to call for a new election. This does
not mean approval of any violations of election
procedure. Rather, it is aimed at the question
of what would be gained by such an action.
Suppose a new election were held. It is
unlikely that participation would be a~ywhere near
the 1,051 number who cast ballots in this election-a clear indication that this campaign went beyond
student apathy and sparked interest. Having to
go through another would be demo_ralizing to those
students who finally have shown some interest.
Suppose in the new election Barbarossa were
elected again? What would be gained ? He would
be in exactly the same position he is in now.
All that would really result from such a rematch would be that the presidential campaign
would be re-fought, with increased bitterness
of all involved. That bitterness would endanger
the effectiveness of next year's student government.
Suppose, however, Coverdell were elected ?
Those who support him might view this as
desirable, but he would be viewed by the student
body, the Board, and the community as a president who won on a ' ' technicality." With such an
image it would be impossible for him to fu,1ction
effectively as ASLCC President.
The problems in this election were far fewer
However, the fact
than in the Fall election.
that problems severe enough to cause serious
discussion of a new election were allowed to
develop-after the fiasco of Fall elections and
the resulting censure of those responsibl~ is
inexcusable.
Despite that fact, there is little to be gained
and a great deal to be lost through calling for
a new election.

Chemeketa Board seeks
removal of college president
The Chemeketa Community
College Board took the first step
in "an orderly process' to remove the college president, Paul
F. Wilmeth, from his office at
a meeting in Salem Wednesday,
April 21.
The entire Board agreed to
seek help from the State Departm,"?nt of Education to determine
if Wilmeth's contract for 197172 is valid.
If the contract is valid, the
Board will ask the legal section
of the state agency to serve as
arbitrator on terms and conditions of Wilmeth's employment.
The Board considered asking
for Wilm,:th's resignation, but
asked for advice instead. Board
members were advised that they
might be in violation of state
law if they did not follow correct procedures in Wilmeth's
case.
In asking the state for help,
the Board implied that it would
like to remove Wilmeth, even if
that means paying off his contrace for the next school year.
The complaints against Wilmeth con c e r n administrative
po 1icy and authority. Several
Board members say they believe
WilmP-th has not supplied tt!e
board with sufficient information about the college operations.
The law requires community
colleges to give written notice
to teachers and administrators of
their employment before March
15 each year. The law also requires written replies accepting
or rejecting employment to be
returned by April 1.
Board chairman, Henry Tiane,
said neither notice was given and
part of the determination of Wilmeth' s contract will involve

whether it is continuous.
The Board will meet again after
it receives the state's report.
Depending on the rep o rt , the
meeting may take the form of
a hearing to allow Wilmeth to
respond to complaints about his
office and it may include a formal vote on whether to remove
Wilmeth from office.

The first program explored
the extent of the local drug problem--what drugs are involved,
who takes them, and why. During
that program the core panel,
which will appear on all five
programs, was introduced. The
panel includes moderator Dennis

that in the normal registration
process, about 350 class changes
were made each quarter. Last
fall, under the new system, the
computer processed almost 5000
class change forms.
Students were not required to
complete registration and pay enrollment fees until the third or
fourth week of classes. No classes were closed because of over
enrollment, which meant manyspace and scheduling problems
had to be overcome.
Predictably, stud e n t s waited

their fees, causing a bit of anxiety in the business manager's

office, but that passed as tuition payments began to arrive

Miss Eugene Pageant
to have 'LCC flavor'
The Miss Eugene Pageant will
have a definite "LCC flavor"
this year.
Among the eight finalists competing Saturday, May 1, is 19year-old LCC student Sherrisue
Skochenko. Master of Ceremonies will be KLCC Program Director Tom Lichty, and Dave
Sherman of LCC's Performing
Arts Department will serve as
stage manager.
Other contestants in the 1971
Miss Eugene contest include Cynthia Greene, a graduate of Sheldon High School; Kathy Griffen,
a graduate of Springfield High
School; Rhonda Harwood, a senior
at Junction City High School;
Gloria Olson, a senior at Creswell High School; Jennifer Pack,
a graduate of South Eugene High
School; Sharon Richman, a graduate of Willamette High School;
and Margaret Wooten, a freshman at the University of Oregon.
A 1970 graduate of Sheldon
High School, Miss Skochenko participated in high school gymn as t i c s competition for three
years, and as a senior received
the '' most valuable girl player"
award at the state meet. For the
talent portion of the contest Sat-

in the Placem,~nt Office are needed to play an active role in evaluating and improving the ter-

urday night she will perform on
uneven parallel bars and do a
floor exercise routine.
Ta 1en t performances, however, are only one part of the
pageant. Contestants are judged
on swimsuit attire (25%), evening wear (25%) and talent (50%).
Sherman, who also worked with
last year's Miss Eugenepageant,
is in charge of arranging and
designing sets for the competition in evening wear and swim
suit attire.
The contest, operated by the
Eugene Jaycees, has three primary objectives, according to
Lichty. It provides an official
hostess for Eugene, makes available scholarships for women and
provides a representative from
Eugene in the Miss Oregon contest.
The 1971 Miss Eugene pageant
will be held in the South Eugene
High School auditorium Saturday,
May I, at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are
avail able at Diners-Fugazy

NEW KLCC CONTROL ROOM finally became
operational Saturday, April 24. Saturday Gold
became the first KLCC program to originate

from the new facility. Tom Lichty, KLCC Program Director, admires the board during his

air shift.

KLCC broadcasts from new studio
by Bill Nelson
KLCC, Lane's FM radio station, is operating with one of
the finest control rooms and
consoles now in use in Oregon"
Early Saturday morning, April
24, the final wiring and setting
up of the new facilities was done
by Torn Lichty, station program
director; Gary Hardesty, parttirn,~ station engineer and news
director; and Dave Chance, music
director.
Almost two years have gone
into designing and building this
new KLCC operation.
The new broadcast facilities
include a custom control console designed and built by Curt
Raynes, LCC Assistant Professor of Electronics. other equipment includes three turntables,
two audio tape cartridge machines, an Ampex tape r{)corder,
and a Magnecord tape recordero
Lichty said the station will
broadcast in stereo as soon as
stereo proofing (testing) can be
done.

New phone system
to prevent misuse
Details of the new Level 8
telephone system, which was ccsigned to prevent the misuse
of carn::>us phones, were outlined
at the April l meeting of the
Instructional Council by W.W.
Cox, Superintendant of College
Services.
Cox stated that the new system,
which will cost $140 to install and
have a small monthly fee, will
affect all of the 133 campus extensions and any phone that is
connected to the two new lines
that are being brought onto campus.
Cox said under the new system
a caller will have to dial "eight"
before a desired local off-campus
number, rather than "nine" as
he does now.
To call long distance, one will
have to dial "O" and place the
call through the campus operator,
who will take the n~me of the
c a 11 i n g party, the rlepartment
called from, the special billing
numbi>r of the caller, and the
number being called. If any of
this information is not given, the
call will be refused.
Cox said that after this system
goes into effect, sometime during
the middle of May, it will be
impossible to direct dial any
long distance numbers from a
campus phone - thus preventing
any unauthorized 1on g distance
call being billed to carn::ms
phones. He said that this practice
has become quite a problem at
Lane and that the need for some
form of control over it has been
answered by the development of
the Level 8 system.

Assisting in the construction
of the new fa-::ilities were Ralph
Cook and Chet Wolf, LCC Electronics Maintenance Technicians.
Program broadcasting began
from the elegant control room
at 4:00 p.m. with "Saturday
Gold_" the all-request rock program.
KLCC's new facilities are
valuad at almost $15,000 if judged
on the commercial price, but
because the console was designed

and built by Raynes with help
from other LCC personnel, the
total cost of the new control room
is estimated at only $6,000.
Station studios and c on tr o 1
room are still located in the
b as e rn e n t of the Electronics
Building on the LCC campus.
KLCC broadcasts at 90.3 on
the FM dial with 450 watts power.

Family planning seminar
sponsored by ZPG chapter
The LCC chapter of Zero Population Growth (ZPG) sponsored
a family planning seminar on
Earth Day, Thursday, April 22.
Guest speaker for the seminars were Mrs. Laura Oswalt,
RN., LCC Health Service; Mrs.
Ziona Bisno, R.N.; and Mrs.
Dorothy Coleman, R.N.
Mrs. Oswalt led the 11:0012:00 discussions. At the afternoon session Mrs. Sharon Plesner, coordinator of Zero Population Growth and Board member of Planned Parenthood of
Lane County, discussed the importance of family planning and
the need in Lane County.
"There are 4100 women in
Lane County who qualify for subsideized family planning/' said
Mrs. Plesner. "Many of these
women do not receive medical
care.' 1 Some factors that prevent women from receiving information and medical care, Mrs.
Plesner said, are I) cultural
attitudes towards sex, 2) fear,
3) age (especially young women),
4) no desire to prevent pregnancy, 5) lack of trained personnel and volunteers to work
in this field, and 6) insufficient

A film titled, "Happy Family

by discussion of various methods
of contraception. The discussion
included such topics as good
birth control programs vs. abortion, and availability of information and service. It was noted
that any contraceptive method is
only as effective as the person
using it and that motivationplays
a major role in preventing unwanted pregnancies.
During the rap session that
followed, Mrs. Dorothy Coleman,
R.N., raised the point that men
in our society frequently leave
the prevention of conception to
the female. Mrs. Bisno, who has
been active in family planning
for many years in Oregon, California and Turkey, remarked,
"Family planning is a dual responsibility between the male
and female."

TORCH., April 27

LCC production receives high praise in review

by Don Bishoff, Register-Guard

Lane Comm~ nit y College's
nrodu c tion of "John Brown's
Body" is a stunning theatrical
achievement.
It is literature of the highest
form given new dimension and
feeling by expanding it into a
work for the theater. Director
George Lauris has exquisitely
complemented the genius of Stephen Vincent Benet in this sweeping epic of the Civil War.
If there were any fears among
members of Friday's opening
night :.;i'Jd.ience that they were going to bP. force-fed a bit of
stilted culture, surely those fears
were swept aside within the first
few minutes.
The production quickly envelops you and carries you along
on its rising and falling tides
of emotion and tension and beauty - the beauty of marvelously
expressive writing, the beauty of

language handled by three highly competent actors, the beauty
of a precisioned chorus, and the
beauty of all these elements skillfully woven into a whole by Lauris.
Benet wrote this account of the
Civil War in swift bold strokes, at
the same time adding personal
drama as a kind of embellishing
scrollwork. He wrote of real
events - Harper's Ferry, Bull
Run, Gettysburg, Appamotox and real men - Lincoln, G raat,
Lee. But he also write of a
Southerner named Clay Wingate
and a northerner named Jack Ellyat, and of their women, and
of their personal stories during
the time that shook a nation.
And he e nm e s he d these fictional personal stories and history perfectly in la~1guage that
is near musical - poetry that
rings and sings and flows.
Adapted for the stage by Charles Laughton, with beautiful mu-

Budget A ·ctions
Clatsop budget
below last year

A pro~osed tax levy of $672,937
for support of Clatsop Community
College during 1971-72 will be
$3,359 less than voter-approved
budget for the current school
year, according to college officials.
Voters turned down a tax levy
twice last year before the college budget was approved on the
third try.
The proposed levy will not exceed $1.78 per thousand dollars
of assessed valuation compared
to $1.88 in the current budget.
TreasiJre Valley budget
approved on 3rd try

The Treasure Valley Community College District approved
an operating budget Wednesday by
a vote of 2,400-1,902. The budget,
approved on the third try, is some
$513,000 OV;:!r the 6 per cent limitation. It had been lowered by
about $100,000 from previous
tries.
Cheme k-eta resubmits
same budget

The Chemeketa Community
College budget for 1971-72 will
be re-submitted to the voters intact at a Thursday, May 27, college district election. Board

Lane to host ·
karate tournament
The first annual Cascade Open
Kar ate Tournament will get un. derway at noon in the main gym of
LCC campus Saturday, May 1.
Participants will register at
10:00 a.m. and the eliminations
will begin at 12:00, with the finals
beginning at 7:00 p.m.
According to Bruce Combs,
LCC karate instructor and director of the tournament, nearly
125 contestants rrom all over the
Northwest will compete in the
event.
A special demonstration by
Pauline Short from the Oregon
Kara.te Association will be given
for the women in the audience.
She will demonstrate the difference in styles between men and
womP.n's karate. Miss Short is a
black belt and considered to be
one of the best women karate
competitors in the Northwest.
Tickets will be on sale at
the main entrance to the gym
all day Saturday. The cost will
$1.00 for a student and $1.50
for non-students.
This karate tournament will be
the first of its kind in this area

regular April 15 board meeting.
Board Chairman Henry Tiano
said that the budget is an honest
one , containing only essential
items. Several board members
also said that it is hard to believe that the light voter turnout at the April 6 election reflects the real sentiment.
The budget is designed to raise
$1,696,066 from local taxes, as
compared to last year's levy of
$1,422,010. Revenues from state
and federal sources and tuition
make up the remainder of the
$3.5 million budget.
The 1971-72 budget calls for
an operating tax levy of 96 cents
for each $1,000 truf? cash value.
This represents a six cent increase overt he amount authorized by the voters in the last
levy -- or an increase of $1.20
for a taxpayer with a $20,000
home.

sic by Fenno Heath added, the
work takes on added dimension.
It is this dimension which the
LCC production exploits.
A s imp 1e wooden structure
provides the stage backdrop. The
22-member chorus sits on tiered
benches at rear stage. Three
stools for the actors are the only
other bit of scenery.
Benet's narration is unfolded
by the three - and each takes
on the various roles of actual and
fictional characters. They move
about the stage, sometimes acting out the scenes they speak,
sometimes simply standing and
speaking directly to the audience.
The LCC production's three Peter Simpson, Ed Ragozzion,
and Priscilla Lauris - keep the
narrative flow going so smoothly that it is almost as if o!:1.ly
one person were speaking. And
the individual characterizations
are simply superb.
It is Simpson, a historian by
trade who's done some Carnival
Theatre work, who is given the
task of portraying Lincoln. He's
up to the job.
As Simpson adopts the Mid-western twang and the almost
stooped posture of the President,
slowly - ever so slowly, dawns
the realization that this indeed
must have been the way Lincoln
sounded and looked. It could be no
other way. Simpson captures the
warmth, the folksy humor and the
anguish to the man, bringing him
down out of the cold marble of
history.
Simpson ha:idles equally well
the other roles he is assigned,
most notably that of a Southern
house slave.
Ragozzino, LCC's drama director aad producer of Lane Auditorium Assn. extravaganzas,
is a fiery-eyed , fierce John
Brown, fueled by the passions of
fanaticism. But Ragozzino best
shows his acting skills as some
of the minor and/ or fictional
characters of history. With ease

Reading instructor honored
by Gail Shogren
The poet Gibran said, ''Work
is love made visible."
Not many of us can say we've
found that perfect combination of
pleasure and business, but Jerry
Berg, LCC reading instructor,
has come close.
Berg's work can be defined as
teaching reading and study skills
and his love as a sustained interest in cars. He has four antiques, including two Model A's
and a 1934 Plymouth Coupe.
About five years ago Berg
concluded that his slower readers
found very little inspiration to
exell by using the dull remedial
reading textbooks. What did turn
many of them on was carsthinking about them, working on
them and driving them.
Berg spent the next two years
capitalizing on those interests
and developed a six-book "remedial reading car series." The
series has been field tested in

.t. a,J,it4-

t

Oregon and California and will
be published this fall.
That idea met with such sucess
that this summer Berg will be
pursuing another similar outlet
as he begins work on a novel
slanted to the same high school
young adult audience. It is a book
about two middle class kids, a
1934 Dodge truck and. their exposure to various minority
groups. The book will be based
on the real life experiences of
Berg and two local teenagers
and will be illustrated with photographs of the places they visit,
which they hope will include a
migrant labor camp and a "hippie" commune.
Berg's creative talents haven't
detracted from his job. He was
recently selected from nearly
200 Lane County teachers and
administrators as the president
of the Emerald Empire Council
of the Int e rn at i on a 1 Reading
Association.

he creates Georgia Cracker, a

tension of the final Confederate
charge at Gettysburg.
Mrs. Lauris, wife of the show's
ct i rector and star of the auditorium association's "My Fair
Lady" eight years ago, is an
actress of great skill whose crystal voice and beauty illuminate
the linAs she handles. She is a
standout as the women of the
piece-Southern belle, matriarch,
and genteel Easterner. And she
brings a particular sense of drama to her part of the narration.
Wayte Kirchner's student
chorus performs as a precision
instrument, and with no on-stage
direction. It handles the intricate
music cues and sound effects perfectly (although occasionally the
music is a sha.:le too loud to
hear all that the actors say)
and sings the beautiful music
beautifully.
• The work of soloists Janis
Silvis, Ed Banker and Joan Moles is particularly _noteworthy.
Terry Warner's set is perfect
for the piece in its simplicity.
But Warner's lighting, with isolated fixed spots, leaves the ac-

tors too often in darkness or
shadow as they move about. Warner and dfrector Lauris may have
been trying to a particular effect;
the result, however, is more distracting than effective.
But th-e total effect of this production is simply overwhelmir.g.
It is difficult to ·-.vrite of it
without being once again moved.
And it's difficult to believe that
anyone who sees one of the remaining performances tonight or
Wednesday through Saturday of
next week can help but be likewise moved.

Baseball play resumes

Titans lose first two league games
The Titan baseball team lost
both of its first two league games
over the weekend to Linn-Benton
Community College (LBCC).
Tile first game, pl~yed Saturday under miserable conditions
at Hamlin Junior High, ended
with Lane five runs behind the
Road Runners (6-1).
Monday the LCC club was shut
out as LBCC rolled 11 points
onto the- score board to the Titan's zero. Linn-Benton had 11
hits and 6 errors in the game,
while Lane could only manage
4 hits but matched the Road
Runners' 6 errors.

double header was rained out.
The first game saw the players
head for cover during a short
heavy rain squall in the sixth
inning, but the umpires allowed
the game to continue though the
field was muddy and hazardous.
Next on the Titan's list of
action is Southwestern Oregon
Community College (SW O C C).
Lane will travel to Coos Bay today
for a double header beginning
at 1:00 p.m.
Thursday Lane hosts the Oregon College of Education ( OCE)

You could argue both ways on

The Titan track team conquered three other teams and
bad weather Saturday, April 24,
in a four-way meet at Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC).
LCC rolled up 119.5 points,
easily out distancing second place
SWOCC with 67, third place Umpqua with 55, and last place Chemeketa with 15.5.
The wecither w1s bad, even for
a track meet, according to Al
Tarpenning, LCC track coach.
'' The wind blew, it hailed and
rained nearly the entire meet,"
he said. The weather is the main
reason his men did not perform
outstandingly in some events.
Lane did manage to grab nine
first places, but none were exceptional efforts.

TORCH, April 27

faculty lounge issue still unresolve·d

\.._ .

by Gail Shogren
Should student or staff needs
rate top priority at Lane ?
The answer to this question
evidently has rather elusive qualities, because the 19'71 Spring
Term marks a two --year preoccupation with '' getting to the
heart of it all."
The issue demanding all the
attention is what is presently defined as the stafflounge, presently limited to staff use. This is a
room approximately 60 by 20 feet 1 •
on the second floor of the Center Building next to the Registration offices. It co:atains anumber
of chairs and conches, a coffe~
machine, and enough window
space to give the room a relaxing
"'Pen quality, and access to its
comforts elicits strong reactions
from both teachers and students.
Dan Ros:.rn, studE'nt Senatorat-Large acting as spokesman
for student opinion, noted that
in a recent survey the Senate
found •'maximum usage occurred between 11:00 a.m. and 1:03
p.m. and during the remainder

of the day there were usually
under 10 people per hour." He
added that this was a "tremendous w1ste of space."
One of thf': a!·guments raised
hy Rosen is tilat the room was
originally allocated to student
use in the blueprints, and as time
goes by the staff continues to
encroach upon more and more
valuable student stuiiy space.
This tendency, he charged, is
causing-" LCC to "lose its liberal
arts image and become more lik2
a multiversity in the public eye.''
F Q cu s in g attention on staff
opinion is Karen Lansdowne, preident of the Staff Association.
She is well qualified to ac~ as
the faculty spokesman, as she has
taken active part in the lengthy
administrative debate over the
room. She pointed out that "the
faculty's job is working with students and in order to refresh ourselves and do our job more effectively, we need to be able to get
away, put our feet up and relax."
She reported that a number of

the lounge room this year when

issue--particularly staff members who do not ha,,e private offices or access to lounge areas

A paid advertisment by the
Comm. for Bob Mention;
Cliff Matson & Larry Beggs,
co-chairman.

Waitress training offered
by Adult Education Dept.
"Basic waitress training,"

a c o u rs e offered through the

LCC Adult Education Department
will begin Monday, May 3.
The five-week class will offer
pr act i ca 1 instruction in basic
principles of food service. Topics to be covered include job
application procedures, food
service techniques for waitresses and w a it e rs, busboy
services, employer- employee-customer relations, and
related areas.
Class sessions will meet from
8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., on Monday and Thursday at the El Sombrero Restaurant, 146 E. 11th,
Eugene. The early hour is neces- :
sary since the restaurant opens
at ll:00.
Instructors for the course are
Lane Hayden, a waitress at Seymour's Cafe, and Victoria Wallace, owner of the El Sombrero.
The class originated when they
approached the Adult Ed. Dept.
after noticing many applicants
for food service jobs in the area
lacked necessary skills.
There is no limit to the number who may enroll, as a second

uass can be started if there is
sufficient demand. Students may
register at the first class meeting, and should have their Social
Security numbers with them. At
that time they may also pay the
$8 tuition for the 20-hour course.
For further information call
