Black Symposium attracts over 200

by Tom Thielsen

Last Friday, May 21, saw the
first black symposium held on
the LCC campus.
The purpose of the symposium
was to increase awareness of students and the public of the constant struggle of the black man
trying to make it in a white man's
society.
For those who attended it, it
was a considerable success.
Three major fields of career
opportunities were cove re<}education, athletics, and entertainment. Three black speakers
addressed themselves to each
field.
Speaking on the topic of education were Yvonne Robinson, a
graduate student and English in-

structor at the University of Oregon, and Jonathan West and Jay
Jones, LCC counselors.
Miss Robinson flatly destroyed
the idea that "Black English"
is to blame for the seeming inability on the part of many blacks
to advance to prominent positions
in h i g he r education. She explained the reasons go much,
much deeper into the problems of
racism, and that most black children simply are ill-prepared by
the present forms of whiteoriented educational systems. A
subtle psychological stigma is
placed upon blackchildrenforced
to adapt to the white way of life,..
she said, and tends to instill a
feeling of inferiority and discourage them from advancing
further than an established point.

A few make it, but first they have
to prove themselves not only
equal, but superior to competing
whites.
Jones went further to assert
that even those blacks who have
proven themselves superior are
only allowed to achieve token
positions of authority to "pacify" the black community, and
that few blacks anywhere have
been g i v e n positions of any
"policy-making power." He
cited LCC as a particular example of such repression.
West spoke on black problems
concerning the vocational fields
and esp e c i a 11 y criticized the
unions for their strongly racist
policies.
In regard to athletics, the three
speakers included Woodrow

Phillips chosen for seminar
LCC forestry professor John
M. Phillips is one of two U.S.
community college educators invited to attend a World Consultation on Forestry Education and
Training in Stockholm, Sweden,
next fall.
Because LCC is unable to defray Phillips' expenses for the
trip to Sweden, donations are being sought through the College
Development Fund. About $1,000
is needed. Prospective donors

Returning students

Students who are planning to
return to LCC next fall, but who
are not presently taking courses
in their majors, are urged by
college Registrar Bob Marshall
to notify the Registrar's office
of their intentions.
Marshall said this action is
necessary to assure returning
students a place in their programs. He added that if students
do not fill out the Registrar's
form, they may find their programs occupied by out-of-state,
out-of-district and new students.

Sponsoring the Sept. 28 to Oct.
7 gathering is the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of
the United Nations. Phillips' selection was made by the International Organization Staff of the
U.S. Departm~nt of Agriculture,
based on his nomination by the
Society of American Foresters
(SAF}.
The U.S. attendance allotment
is seven college and university
forestry educators. Phillips is
the only west coast educator named. Preceding the conference,
the group will tour forestry educational institutions and see
forestry practices in Finland,
Norway and Sweden.
Phillips, 52, moved to LCC in
1965 after two years of teaching
forestry at Eugene TechnicalVocational School. Previously he
sent 17 years as a forester with
several west coast lumber firms.
He was an Army artillery officer in World War Il and was
decorated for service in New
Britain and the Phillipines.
He received a bachelor's degree in forestry from the University of California at Berkely

in 1946 and a master's in education from Oregon State University in 1967. He is a Boy Scout
counselor, member of the Lane

Council, and a vestryman at St.
Mary's Episcopal Church of Eugene..

the University of New Mexico and
currently a graduate student in
political science at the U of O;
Larry Holliday, former U of 0
basketball player; and Jim Smith,
a former All-American defensive
back and graduate student in
theatre arts at the U of O.
Both Jones and Holliday emphasized the lop-sided "package
programs'' they were handed by
the universities which placed
most of the emphasis on athletics
and offered little or no encouragement to further their education.
Both men told of the "tutors"
they were given-not to help them
with an understanding of their
subjects, but solely to enable

them to pass the exams and retain their eligibility for sports.
Smith equated the present athletic scholarship programs for
blacks to the slave-buying days
of yesteryear. He said in effect
that black athletes are being
bought and sold, and that even
though some are lucky enough to
succeed financially to the extent
that they are able to assist other
blacks in work i n g for freedom,
this is only because they are still
"the masters' favorites," as
were "the slaves who could strum

TORCH, Ma~ 25

ASLCC power structure uncertain
What happens when two people share an office
and one person decides to change the lock without notifying the other?
One possible solution is to kick the door open.
This happened last week in the LCC Student
Senate offices.
ASLCC President Omar Barbarossa had the
lock to the president's office changed because
"some items have come up missing." Prior to
receiving a new key to the office--or even
being informed of the change--ASLCC President Warren Coverdell found the door locked,
and in what could be perhaps termed an "emotional outburst," kicked the door open, causing
damage to both the door and the lock.
While the actions of both ASLCC Presidents
were irresponsible and immature, the incident
itself is of lesser importance than the reasons
behind it.
The major difficulty stems from the simple
fact that there are presently, according to the
ASLCC Constitution, TWO student-body presidents. The constitution states that "The tenure
of office of the Associated Student Body Officers
shall begin the last three meetings of the Student Senate in the Spring Term and continue
through the last meeting of the following Spring
Term." This means basically that for approximately one month each year, LCC has two
student-body presidents with equal power.
Last week's incident appears to be an uncontrolled display of frustration and hostility
resulting from two individuals vying for control. This is perhaps compounded by the intense
campaigning of both Barbarossa and Coverdell
during last month's ASLCC elections, and the

incident itself was most likely sparked by the
tension resulting from Iron Butterfly's cancellation of its concert May 19.
Such frustration, and even hostility, seem
only natural in this type of situation. Yet, elected officials should display their personal emotions in ways other than pettiness and violence.
How can they expect their subordinates, and
the student-body as a whole, to act with reason
when they themselves do not?
The duplication of student officials, according
to the constitution, is not limited to just the
office of the president. LCC now has two first
vice-presidents, two second vice-presidents and
two Student Senators from several departments.
Had not the ASLCC Treasurer and Publicity
Director been incumbents who were re-elected,
there would also be two of them.
The problems of this system of administrative
transition are endless. Imagine two treasurers
working independently for two presidents, spending money simultaneously. How long would it
be until student funds were completely spent?
Imagine two publicity directors releasing conflicting statements to the news media. How well
informed would the college community be?
Indeed, some form of transition between
student administrations is necessary. However,
with this transition must also be a clear-cut
definition of power. Any other way serves only
to complicate a situation which often is, in
itself, difficult.
The current situation must receive priority
in the revision of the ASLCC Constitution-if
, such revision is ever accomplished.

by 180 degrees.

anyone mention radical longhairs, a term he used in quotes.
He also did not hear anyone refer to "rotten hippies" or "dirty hippie." Those are his words
yet he placed them between quotation marks. Very effective!!
He also did not hear any intimation whatsoever of apossible

McCall. That was (the interpretation of) a part-time reporter
sent by the Register-Guard to
cover a meeting of concerned citizens. This reporter, apparently, has not yet learned the distinction between objective reporting, editorializing and creating news. Perhaps with further
education, he may develop into a
journeyman reporter and work
fulltime on a newspaper that is
fearful of getting more windows

dares to be objective. The first

Last week I submitted an article to the TORCH e n tit 1e d,
"The PIGS are organizing.
A member of People Interested in Government Services
(PIGS) protested that my article
was unfair to that organization
because I was not present at
their meeting and took most of
my "factual" material from two
articles and one editorial in the
EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD.
After a conversation with this
PIGS member I decided to investigate further. I procured a
complete tape of the meeting
and listened to it six times.
I was unfair. My article was
strong, I thought, but after listening to the tape I now feel I
did an injustice to my readers
in not taking a stronger position
against the organization. I am
sorry that I did not investigate
in greater detail before I wrote
the column in the Student Forum.

Butterfly ca nee ls
Eugene show

The Iron Butterfly, an acidrock group of national acclaim,
abruptly backed out of a performance at the Eugene Speedway
Wednesday, evening, May 19.
The cancellation came only
hours before they were scheduled
to appear before an anticipated
crowd of- from three to five
thousand people.
Their reasons stemmed from
what they felt were inadequate
facilities for themselves, their
equipment, and their fans.
There was no stage--only two
flatbed truck trailers pulled togeter. They had over $100,000
worth of electronic equipment
that would have been seriously
damaged had it rained, since
there was no covering. And they
considered the lighting to be
quite inadequate.
According to Warren Coverdell, ASLCC President, nearly
3,000 persons were turned back
from the gates, having received
no warning of the cancellation.
Tickets were subsequently
honored at the group's concert
the following night in Portland.
For those who prefer, or were
unable to attend the Portland
concert, cost of the tickets will
be refunded. Final arrangements
for refunds are still inprogress.
Coverdell said that the LCC
student body will soon seek legal

Committee to discuss
LCC night class service
Does Lane Community College
adequately serve its night students?
This will be the central question at a meeting tonight (Tuesday, May 25) of the Evening
College Advisory Committee to
be held in the Business Building
Conference Room.
The 9:00 p.m. public meeting
will study ways in which evening
credit classes might better fit
the needs of people who work
full-time during the day.
Six LCC students make up the
committee, with Tom Curtis of
Springfield chairing the group.
The c o m m i t t e e has college
sanction as the "ad hoc advisory
committee for the evening college."
Gerald Rasmussen, LCC Associate Dean of Instruction, said the
committee is seeking feedback
from other night students as to
what courses should be offered,
whether a "swing shift" college
(class programs with the same

design as for day students) should
be considered, and if working
adults are interested in an evening program leading to associate degrees.
LC C is offering 72 credit
classes after 5:00 p.m. during
Spring Term. Rasmussen said
the committee expects to make
recommendations as to whether
the number, content and scheduling of classes is adequate.
Committee members are
scheduled to be introduced at the

Bill Hirning in the May 18th issue
of The Torch. May I state that
I have not had such a good laugh
in a long time. In fact, one might
accuse Mr. Hirning of having read
too many comic books in the recent past.
May I state that I am one of

who, along with I am sure many
others, are greatly concerned
over what is happening here in
the <'!ity of Eugene. Greatly concerned becaJJse we see what appears to be and in fact is, very
strong double standard oflaw enforcement. Contrary to your article, people such as myself are
not looking for STRONGER laws
and we do not want to 'get tough'
and bash in heads as Mr. Hirning would indicate. Quite the contrary, all that I am interested
in as a tax-paying citizen is to
have our law enforcement agencies enforce the laws as they
now stand, equally for all.
By this I mean I do not see
where a young radical has the
right to deface government property while the police are standing idly by watching him do it.

as an administration delegate.
The annual meeting was held
on Friday and Saturday in Portland at the Hilton Hotel and Portland Community College. Delegates from all 12 Oregon community colleges attended caucus
meetings on both Friday andSaturday, and a meeting for delegates was held on Friday afternoon. A banquet was held on
Friday evening, and Dr. Dale
Parnell, Superintendent of Public Instruction, addressed a luncheon on Saturday afternoon.
Each delegation was divided
into five sections: administration, students, board, faculty,
and classified (staff). The number of persons reprcsentingeach
section from the schools was
based proportionately to the number of students enrolled in the
colleges. Lane had six delegates
for each section, or a total of
30 delegates.
The main purpose of the convention was to vote on a number of resolutions concerning the
organization of OCCA. Twelve
out of 16 total resolutions were
passed by the delegate assembly;
one resolution failed; one was
tabled; and two others were referred back to committee.

Also, for no discernible reason, the entire film was presented
in slow motion! If Kitts was trying to stretch out the film by
slow motion, the purpose was
defeated. The slow motion was
not only irritating, but many
otherwise good shots were
ruined.
Granted that several of Kitts'
shots were quite good, the majority of the film was boring.
"The Real Alaska" was advertised as a narrative film rather
than a collage of unstructured

she was "proud of our delegation," and the Administration
and faculty were "proud of the

Mrs. McMurray said LCC had
"the best informed delegation
there," and the convention gave
delegates a "chance to communicate, which is really what it's
all about."
Pam Neiswanger, ASLCC Preside·n ts' Secretary, said the "student section of OCCA and a; PIRG

Another financial flop of the
year was experienced by theStudent Senate last weekend when
it sponsored the "Real Alaska"
movie.
The film shot by Ray Kitts,
a retired Veneta man, netted
$39. Originally half of the gate
profits were to have been given
to Kitts. Because of the lack of
attendance, the Senate gave Kitts
the total gate.
The failure of the film was
attributed to several factors, including poor scheduling and
nature of the subject matter,
according to Ron Davis, .ASLCC
Second Vice President. The Circus, Black Symposium or Miss

··JOMMENJSpringfield contest may have captured part of the audience that
might otherwise have attended
the film. But one must take toll
as to how many people are interested in Alaska.
Of the 25 people who attended
either the Friday or Saturday
n .i g ht performances, only two
were students among the several
adults and small children. Though
Davis reported Saturday's audience as quite pleased with the
film, Friday night's house was
bored to death.
Kitts, an a m a t e u r photographer, has produced a typical home
movie. As Kitts explained, the
film was originally taken for his
own enjoyment. Consequently,
one shouldn't be surprised to see
his trailer roll across the screen
or his wife or buddies playing
with the fish.
However, the m o st serious
error committed by Kitts was
that of jumping all over Alaska.

edited, he jumped from bears

'E(ology' - (On(ern but little G((omplishment

by Tom Thielsen
Ecology is one of those words
that people currently use when
they want to appear idealistic.
Peace is another. And Love.
Not so many years ago cries
for peace were generally poopooed as being quite uncalled for,
and even un-American. After all,
outside of that nasty little "conflict" a million miles away somewhere in Viet Nam, the United
States WAS at peace, wasn't it?
And love was considered to be
rather nice - if you could afford

the logging complex that is rapidly leveling millions of years
of forest and the last remaining
wilderness areas in the country.

technology and grinning. Nobody
seems to realize that our very
technology itself is the real culprit. Why, technology gave us indoor toilets. How could such a
thing be harmful? How, indeed.
The fact is that thanks to our
technology, the average American of 1971 generates over ten
pounds of solid refuse daily. He
consumes over 250 times more
than the average citizen of India. And even though the U.s.
population amounts to only 6%
of that of the world, we hoard
and deplete nearly 50% of the
principal minerals gouged from
it.
Such · an exhibition of greed
and gluttony would put to shame
all of the malignant and corrupt
empires in the infamous history
of mankind.
Ah, but I've forgotten. We're
changing all that, right?
Wrong.
We here in the United States
are not decelerating our grotesque misuse of our world, but
rather steadily accelerating it.
Our economy demands it. And if
you doubt it, what reason can
you give for our hideous, hulking, truly Gross National Product which now amounts to the
inconceivable sum of a trillion
and a h a If dollars? Inflation?
Partly, but here is an example
of the national double talk that
soothes the pub 1i c conscience
while the rape of Mother Nature
goes steadily on: take the renowned recycling programs that
are currently purported to be
''saving the Earth." Why, did
you know that in Los Angeles
alone they have increased the
bottle returns from 30,000 a week
to over 1,350,000? Sounds great,
eh? But how does it sound when
you consider that collection centers ALL ACROSS THE NATION
are receiving not more than 3%
of the 36 BILLION bottles and
jars manufactured in the United
Sates? And, according to experts,
the best that can possibly be hoped for in the future is a return of 5%.
This means that, as it stands
now, ignoring any future bottle
production, 33 b i 11 ion bottles
(95%), whole or otherwise, are
destined to clog the eco-systems
for generations to come (glass,
you see, lasts a very long time).
And even at the rate of 5%
returns, the recycling programs
would barely keep up with the
increase in bottle production.
As for aluminum cans, the
situation is more promising: only
70% of the little devils will be

LCC Sprin g Concert: ufinest quali ty"
by Jon Haterius
The Performing Arts Department of LCC welcomed spring
with a concert Sunday, May 23.
The fifty-voice LCC choir and
fourteen-voice vocal ensemble
opened the first part of the concert. The groups, under the direction of Wayte Kirchner, opened with "Echo. Song," using
the effective technique ofa double
chorus. Four choir members
were hidden in the back of the
theatre and echoed the music
that came from the on-stage
choir. At first, members of the
audience might not have been
quite sure what was going on,
or where the "phantom" sounds
were coming from.
The double chorus rendition
wap followed by "Exekiel Saw
De wheel," an upbeat number that
struck a fast rapport with the
audience in the nearly packed
Forum Theatre.
The Vocal Ensemble came on
the modern "Spinning
with
Whee 1. '' The song, originally
made popular by Sammy Davis
a couple of years ago, was definitely an up-tempo, bouncy arrangement. This was followed by
the melancholy, plantive "We've
Only Just Begun," with organ and
electric guitar accompaniment.
A very clever rendition of
"The Telephone Hour" (from the
show "Bye-Bye . Birdie") was
stagea wun a clutch of telephoneholding teenagers on the Foruin
Theatre stage. Steve Harper foraged on-stage to ask ''What are
these kids coming to today?"
Harper's impression of an addled parent was well done, and
audience members enjoyed his
character portrayal.
Mike Aguilar and Arlene Kirchner provided piano accompaniment. Joan Miles was featured
·as soprano soloist for "A Jubilant Song" at the conclusion of
the choirs/Vocal Ensemble portion of the program.
The second half of the musi-

cal spring salute took place in
the LCC library, where the Concert Band and Stage Band loosened the paint on the walls with
contemporary jazz-rock music.
The thirty-plus members of the
bands presented Richard Strauss'
''Fanfare from Zarathustra";
Johan Strauss' "EmperorWaltz"; and the English military
flute and sax arrangement"Molly On the Shore." A tune that
started out rather mild and meek
ended up in a kaleidoscope of
sound was "Borodin, Bongos,

ioin "family"
for coast trip

by Christy Dockter

1,1

On the morning of Saturday,
May 22, the "family" armed
with fr is bee s and footballs,
climbed ab o a rd school buses
and headed for Siltcoos Beach
on the Oregon Coast.
The "family" consists of participants in the Big Brother/
Big Sister Program and their
little "brothers" and "sisters."
The program was formed last
year by the Eugene School District in cooperation with students
from the University of Oregon,
LCC and the local high schools.
Of the approximately 150 people
making the trip, the children
were the ones who made it a real
success. There is no way that a
person can be around a group
of excited children and not be
happy.
The two necessities of a big
brother or sister on a trip to
the coast are that you like sand
and that you like to be attacked
repeatedly by excited children.
The worst thing you will be likely
to have to face is a "grave" of
sand.
Because of the attitude of the
children toward the adults, a
stranger would never know by just
watching that the children come
from varied backgrounds and that
many have serious problems.

Karate, self defense
offered during summer

Karate and self-defense will be
available through the Adult Education Department during summer term for those continuing
the sport and for those who would
like to become involved in the
martial arts.
The LCC Karate Club's first
home tournament, held May 1,
added seven beautiful trophies
to their growing collection.
Letters of congratulation were
sent to Bruce Combs from
several Sen sai' s (Masters of
Karate) throughout the Northwest
for conducting one of the best
tournaments ever held in the
Northwest.

The groundwork is a 1r e ad y
being laid for an even greater
tournament next year, to be put
on by the growing numoer of students participating in the Lane
Karate Club.
On May 8, the club walked away
with yet another trophy, against a
tough Aberdeen, Washington,
team at Aberdeen.
According to Bob Canaga, club
president, and Carl Fitch, club
publicity director, their desire
is to improve the image of karate
as an art and to emphasize that
it is available to everyone as a
very rewarding and enjoyable
activity.
