TORCH

0ct._'26.

What ever happened to political integrity?
What happens when an elected official is
accused of negligence in the performance of his
•
duties?
What often DOESN'T happen is that his constituents are fully informed of the facts.
Such is the present situation at LCC concerning the recent censure by the Student Senate of
ASLCC President Omar Barbarossa.
The TORCH, as with all newspapers, has the
singular obligation to provide its readers with
information as complete as possible, particularly on an issue as significant as the censure of
that person who acts as representative of all
LCC students.
Without further information, the censure action of Oct. 7 might indeed be considered "stabbing the President in the back,'' as one Senator
termed it. Perhaps he views it that way because
the Senate itself was not fully advised on the
situation, either by Barbarossa or other members of the Executive Cabinet who actually iniated the action.
The censure motion was no sudden or unreasonable action to those familiar with Senate
activities throughout last summer. It was the
culmination of lengthy difficulties and deliberations during which, at one point, the Executive
Cabinet requested Barbarossa's resignation.
Executive Cabinet dissatisfaction began early
in the summ 1?r with complaints that Barbarossa,
who assumed his duties as .ASLCC President
last spring, was not fulfilling those duties because of continual absence from campus. Ron
Davis, then ASLCC Second Vice-President (he
recently resigned that position to return to his
home state of Arizona) wrote at least two letters
to Barbarossa alledging that Barbarossa was
not fulfilling the responsibilities of his office,
yet was still collecting his monthly salary of
$125. Specific complaints included lack of scheduled office hours, general unavailability and
extended absences, failure to attend or appoint
someone to represent students at various college
committee meetings, and more attention paid to
positions held in other organizations than to
ASLCC business.
These complaints were not acted upon officially by the Executive Cabinet. Official action,
however, did come after receipt of the Student
Senate's telephone bill for the period of Aug. 2
through Aug. 23-a bill which totaled $115.50.
College Facilities personnel noted that such
a bill was "out of reason'' for Senate business
during a summer month. They strongly recommended removal of Senate telephone service.
Tracing of the calls involved revealed that many
of them-amounting to $71.50-were calls placed
by Barbarossa for personal rather than Senate
business.
When asked about the calls at an Executive
Cabinet meeting Sept. 8, Barbarossa stated they
were "contingent • on the Minority Workshop
that I'm setting up." After being confronted
with the itemized list from the telephone company, he admitted that the calls were actually
of a personal nature. He acknowledged he was
aw a re that telephone billing numbers we re •
for official business, but said due to personal
problems that was "the only alternative I had
at the time."
At the same meeting, the Executive Cabinet
removed Barbarossa's telephone billing number
and advised him that such misuse could constitute misappropriation of funds or possibly
even tax-fraud, since calls madP, on a college

billing numb-er are tax-free and personal calls
do not fall in a tax-free category.
The following week the Senate received its
telephone bill for the period of Aug. 24 through
Sept. 2. When questioned about several calls on
this bill, Barbarossa responded "those aren't
my calls on here." When it was pointed out
that numbers on the current bill corresponded
to personal calls traced by the telephone company
on the previous bill, he admitted making the calls,
but noted that "those calls were ma.de prior to
the last Executive Cabinet meeting." The amount
for those calls totalled $29. 70.
During this period other financial questions
were raised regarding expenses for Barbarossa's
attendance at the August convention of the National
Student Association (NS.A) in Ft. Collins, Colo.
The controversy over payment of NSA expenses
centered around Barbarossa's failure to submit
proper receipts as required by the ASLCC Financial Guidlines developed last spring. It was determined that Barbarossa should repay the Senate
$28.11 of the advance money given to him for the
convention, and for which he had no receipts.
As a result of these extended problems, the
Executive Cabinet voted Sept. 15 to ask for Barbarossa's resignation. During the next two weeks,
discussion among Executive Cabinet members
resulted in a compromise-and on Sept. 29
the motion to ask for his resignation was rescinded.

The compromise involved Barbarossa's signing an agreement to:
1) repay monies owed to ASLCC, as he had
said he would do when the issue was first raised;
2) resign all interfering offices and commitments;
3) devote himself to the ASLCC presidency;
4) undertake new involvement in off-campus
activities which might conflict with his duties
only with consent of the Executive Cabinet;
5) attend regularly all meetings at which he
is the student-body representative;
6) "generally fulfill my presidential responsibilities."
As a part of the compromise, Barbarossa
was to request a vote of censure for himself
at the first Senate meeting this fall.
In light of this background information, the
censure motion makes much more sense.
What does NOT make sense, however, is the
manner in which the entire affair was handled.
A great deal of time was spent discussing
and arguing over the details of Barbarossa's
actions. Yet little, if any, attention was given
to the sufficiency of his rationale-personal
problems. While such an excuse is understandable, problems are no longer simply "personal" when they affect the performance of an
elected official's duties and do not constitute
a sufficient reason for neglecting them.
But what is frightening about the Executive
Cabinet's lack of exploration is its apparent uninterest in the fact that Barbarossa once flatly
denied making telephone calls and once stated
the calls he made were for purposes other
than personal. Only when pressured did he
admit his actions. That Barbarossa did this
is bad enough; that the Executive Cabinet let
it pass is even worse. This aspect of the issue raises questions about not only Barbarossa's political integrity, but that of the entire Executive Cabinet.
Another questionable aspect of the manner
in which the situation was handled is failure to
provide information after the fact. Secrecy
during the controversy was perhaps justified
since it was an emotionally charged issue. When
the issue had been resolved, however, such secrecy is unjustifiable.
In essence, the Senate was asked to "rubber-stamp" a censure without knowing why.
Thus students were expected to accept that
as an equitable solution to a problem about
which they knew nothing.
There was even
discussion of having the Senate take action
on the censure motion during a "closed" meeting. The only conceivable logic behind such a
move would seem to be prevention of any information leak. The implications of a request for
resignation or censure extend beyond Barbarossa, the Executive Cabinet and the Senate-all students are affected. And, thus they have
•"...tr~ _rig~t.tp _~ucJ:i. i~fqr_Il}3:tiqn,•.........••

Unfortunately, however, none of the Executive Cabinet felt compelled to supply such information until Ron Davis wrote his "Departing Denouncement" (which was published in the
TORCH "Forum" Oct. 19) and promptly left
for Arizona. A situation which prompted the
resignation and subsequent departure of the
Second Vice-President , and also the resignation
of the First Vice-President (though he later
withdrew it) is serious indeed. It deserves
public airing--and not simply in a statement
made public only hours before the author became unavailable. The basic issue behind the
complaint about secrecy is this question: for
whom are the Executive Cabinet and Senate acting--themselves or the student -body as a whole?
Perhaps the most frustrating feature of the
procedure used to handle this situation is that
there was really no ''procedure" as such.
Rather than being an orderly, organized attempt
to identify and resolve a problem, the entire
process appeared more like a haphazard "inquisition" on the part of all involved. Tempers
flared, side issues occupied much time, and "outsiders" became involved on those side issues.·
For example, LCC counselor Jon West appeared at the Sept. 28 meeting to advise the
Executive Cabinet that had it insisted on Barbarossa's resignation, such action would have
serious "racial overtones."
West said:
This school at this time is in
no position to ask for Omar's (Barbarossa's)
resignation on the basis that they didn't ask for
the resignation of other people who did things
in the same manner that Omar's done, but happen to be of a different race."
This statement raises two "side issues"Barbarossa's status as a member of a minority
group, and previous failure to act in a similar
situation.
Barbarossa is a member of a minority, not
only because he is a Chicano, but because he is
one of the very few persons at LCC chosen to
act on behalf of thousands of students. It is Barbarossa's actions as a member of the second
minority ,group--not the first--that are in question. To assume that any action taken toward a
member of a racial minority is taken solely,
or even primarily , because he is a member
of that racial group is absurd.
The rationalization that failure to act previously prevents action now is also absurd. The
old cliche "two wrongs do not make a right"
is pertinent. The charge that failure to act was
due to race, overlooks the different nature of
the situation. Last year's fiasco with the Iron
Butterfly concert has not even yet resulted in
evidence which will allow fixing of responsibilityas is available in the current situation. Also
the event occured so close to the Spring electionsand not at the beginning of the President's term
as is the case now--that a request for resignation
would have been meaningless.
Part of the difficulties in procedure cannot be
blamed on the Executive Cabinet. There are
simply no detailed procedures outlined in the
present ASLCC Constitution for such actiqn.
This, however, does not excuse those involved
for their failure to develop a rational, rather
than an emotional, approach to the problem.
The performance of the ASLCC President should
be of concern to EVERY student. If it is not, even
after full information is available, then the students themselves have answered the question: for
whom are the Executive Cabinet and the Senate
acting?

Sex and other subversive activities

do to receive all of these rewards can only be left up to conjecture.

The innocent bystander
by Arthur Hoppe
Chronicle Features
We should be ashamed of ourselves. To think it took one of
our loyal South Vietnamese allies to sound the tocsin against
the most insidious and subversive of un-American activities-one that threatens the very existence of the entire Free World:
Sex.
Every right-thinking American
has long considered sex illegal.
For one thing, it unarguably appeals to the prurient interest.
Moreover, in the face of apopulatio.i explosion, ·it is utterly without redeeming social importance.
Thus sex clearly falls within
the Supreme Court's definition of
obscenity and, as an obscene activity, obviously violates the laws
of the land.
Yet millions of otherwise lawabiding Americans have gone
right on practicing this illegal,
obscene activity -- often with
those they have actually sworn to
love, honor and cherish.
But perhaps now that we can
appeal to their patriotism, they
will dutifully mend the error of
their ways.
Actually, as was first pointed
out in this space five years ago,
sex is certainly not 100 per cent
American. Those engaged in it,
studies demonstrate, are de-·
finitely in no position to show
proper respect for Our Flag as
it passes by, nor in most cases
to remove their hats for Our
National Anthem.
On the other hand, as was
also noted at the time, many
historians believe that some of
our Founding Fathers secretly
practiced sex behind drawn
shades and closed doors in the
privacy of their homes. As evi-

de n c e , they cite Jo h n Quincy
Adams.
But to deduce from this that
sex is a "cherished American
heritage" is going a bit far. And
now the clincher to the argument
has been delivered by Rear Admiral Tran Van Chon, commander of the South Vietnamese•
Navy.
In a stern directive, the Admiral warned his sailors to abstain from s~x and the ''pleasure
in hot passion" so they would have
"sufficient energy to fight against
the Communists.''
The Admiral is absolutely
right. Not only does sex sap
every decent Vietnamese's or
American's patriotic energy, it
actually destroys his or her interest in the entire subject of
anti-Communism.
For example, in a recent poll,
1,617 representative Americans
were tnterviewed while engaged
in sexual activities. Each was
asked, "Excuse me, sir or madam, how strongly do you feel
at the moment about the current
anti-Communist offensive in Tay
Ninh Province?''
The results were: "Not very
strongly" -- 14; "Not a whit"72; ''decline to state" -- 153;
and poll-takers seriously injured -- 47.
Now that the danger is proven,
we can expect every American
to renounce this illegal, obscene,
subversive activity imm3diately.
St and up, young lovers, for
America!
For by -giving up sex to fight
Communism we~ can at last end
the war in Vietnam. And in
only a single generation, too.

The majority of students attending LCC probably don't give a hoot
about what the student government is, what it does, or even
WHO it is. According to Mr.
Robert Marshall,· LCC's director of Admissions, about 5,360
students forked over the $2.00
this term (remember when you
registered?) to keep this outrageous farqe continuing. This
means that the student government can now play around with
well over $10,000 from right out
of our pockets--very adequate financing for various conventions,
phone calls, expenses, and other
"important" activities.

agreed to give over $600.00 to

Tokyo-"Buying Jap-made goods so

''Is a darn fool thing for you
and me.
"And I'm fighting back because
I won't run,
"From the slant-eyed people
of the Rising Sun."
--stanza from an
American textile-worker's song,
1971.

A recent cartoon strip in the
Asahi, Japan's largest newspaper
with a daily circulation of over 6.5
million, showed a businessman
being lectured with one word -" Jap."
The
businessman became
angry at first, then calmed down,
and the final cartoon panel showed
him on the steps ofaplane, ready
to leave; he was "ready to be
called a Jap."
The re-emergence of these two
attitudes --American racism and
intense Japanese reaction to it -is an ugly by-product of what
appears to be more than a mere

Teacher evalvation
draws criticism,
faculty and student
LCC's Instructional Council
was recently presented with a
recommendation for anewteacher evaluation procedure. This
was a product of Don Dickinson, Jim Ellison and Ted Ro..;
moser -the Facultv Section Committee on Evaluation.
The specific origin of the
whole idea is vague but it was
felt by many faculty members and
students that a change was indeed called for in the evaluation
of the faculty.
The p r i m e consideration in
the change is to emphasize.
an efforf toward improved
teaching. Considerable controversy smoulders on almost every
facet of the proposal, but it was
pointed out that this is only a
working draft, subject to revisions.
The plan allows for evaluation
of department chairmen, a hitherto taboo practice. It broadens
the scope of just who does evaluate an instructor (three or four
staff me m be rs including the
chairman, instead of the chairman himself). A change in staff
f i I es is included, eliminating
some details from the instructor's easily accessible record. These specific d e t a i l s
would be kept in one's own department and not be centrally
located.
Of particular interest to the
student is the question of his
own role in the evaluation of
his teachers. This is a muchdiscussed topic by the faculty.
The above recommendation does
allow for student involvement. It
should be noted, however, that
many instructors already have a
system that includes evaluation
by students.
In their recommendation to the
Instructional Council the committee states, "students are the
only people who observe our
teaching under normal conditions
over a long period of time. Studies indicate no relationship between GPA's and level of approval
or disapproval. At LCC we sho,1ld
particularly keep in mind the high
proportion of seasoned adults among our students who are self
motivated and well directed in
their education aims ... Therefore. we believe that student opinion must be a part of every
evaluation."

essentially cultural --two ways of
doing things, each one valid within
its own context, but extremely
difficult for the other side to

Gerald Levine. an electronics

Japan -- his 20th.

here, giving him an excellent
chance to observe building tensions between what one Japanese
commentator called "father and

In July, a month before President Nixon's new economic po~icies were even announced, this
commentator was writing of how
the United States raised "three

A ~Tapanese professor of international affairs confirmed most
of Levine's fears. "Americans

"One of the most important
values is that the 'father' should
be respected as long as he deserves it. But America's misadventure in Vietnam, plus all

to the conclusion that 'the father' .

Hard-boiled survey over pnce of eggs

I recently discovered the price
of hard boiled eggs at LCC Food
Service is 15 cents a piece. When
I found this out, I was appalled.
So doing some quick calculations
I found that at wholesale price
of 36 cents a dozen, the Food
Service is grossing a profit of
400% on hard boiled eggs. I decided to conduct an inquiry into
the pricing policy of the ~ood

Service in regard to eggs.
As a first step, I took a survey to see if people at Lane; I)
liked hard-boiled eggs, 2) now buy
eggs here and 3) would buy eggs
if the price were lower (say 5
cents a piece). The following is
the result of that survey:

Out of a sample of 100 people
(student, faculty, and staff), 74%
stated they did like hard boiled
eggs. Of that 74% only 6.3%
currently buy eggs at the Food
Service. .And again of the 74%
who liked hard-boiled eggs, 82%
stated they would probably buy

would allow students and staff
at Lane an inexpensive and nutritious source of nourishment
at no loss of revenue to the
Food Service.
The second step in my inquiry
was to ascertain if hard-boiled
eggs were a high waste food. For
this task I went to the Home Ee-

onomics Department. I found that,
if eggs were kept on ice while
being served, and refrigerated
when they were not being served,
they could be kept for at least
three days and after that time
could be used in preparations '
such as egg-sa1ad sandwiches or
salads. 1 understand the practice
of refrigeration and chilling is
already employed in the Food
Service, so there would be no
additional labor involved, in
maintaining the eggs.

freedom is something that is
fought for and earned.
Why didn't the author go into the so-called •'tedious" example of the attempts to stifle
free expression? Why? Because
he had no examples. Nixon had
a right to blast the press in
1960, the same as H.H.H. had
the right to do in 1968. He had
the right to blast the press in
his gubernatorial race also.
That is the "freedom of expression." The Pentagon Papers
should not have been released.
Nixon is for freedom of expression, not treason. He supports
the press, but not when thepress
slants articles to their pleasing.
It sounds as if the author of the
previous article is easily annoyed by the press himself. The
author sounds like a sad Communist. They often speak out .
when faced with a problem such
as freedom. Don't tell me Nixon·
is no friend--he's the best you've

In the course of my conversation with Mr. Watkins, he told·
me he was trying to maintain
a fair price in Food Service
to protect marginal and low-income students. Mr. Watkins related a story to me about how the
Student Senate had approached
him with a proposal to raise
prices in the Food Service and
turn the excess revenue over to
the Senate for operational expenses. At that time Mr. Watkins refused the request, basing
his refusal on grounds that it
would be unfair to low-income
students.
I feel the current pricing policy
of the Food Service does exactly
what Mr. Watkins sought to prevent. The large majority of students at Lane, as well as the
staff, cannot afford to eat at
the restaurant, and as a consequence when they do buy something at the Food Service, they
buy quick turn-over snack foods.
Therefore the expense of the restaurant is being borne, to a large
extent, by the marginal income
person.

THE FORUM

With steps one and two out of
the way, the only thing to do was
to find out why hard-boiled eggs
were priced so high. For this
information, I interviewed Mr.
Ames,manager of Food Services
and Mr. Watkins, LCC'sbusiness
manager. I found out the price
of eggs is no easy thing. They
explained to m~ the price of
eggs and other quick, turn-over
snack foods is kept high to defer the cost of more expensive
foods that are served in the restaurant section. The reason it
is necessary to support the expensive foods served in the restaurant is to allow the students' a
broad experience in cooking varried kinds of food.
The Food Service Restaurant
is primarily a training area for
food handling classes and, as
such, it was necessary to supply
expensive equipmert to simulate
actual restaurant conditions. All
these points are indeed valid. The
food handling courses are excellent and I support the concept. But I can't help but feel
the pricing policies of the Food
Service are still somewhat out
of line.

tration 202.

--- -Correction----

Food Service. In the interest of
better serving the students and
staff of LCC the prices of certain nutritious foods, such as
hard-boiled eggs, salads, yogurt,
etc. be reduced and if additional
sales of these foods do not cover the cost of restaurant operation, additional cost be absorbed by adjustment of restaurant prices. I am sure that, in
the long run, this proposal will
serve the greatest need of the
greatest amount of people at
Lane.

over host Umpqua Community
College Saturday.
The Mei~t was an all-out power
show as Lane bunched five runners together with the same winning time of 22:06. Lane than
added insult to injury as the

over the tape.
Although Umpqua Community
College gave the Titans little

The word' apathy' has been getting a phenomenal amount of usage in the past two years, making it nearly a cliche.
Last year I heard many athletes moaning about the lack of
money in the athletic fund. These
moanings and discouraging comments caused me to think that
the athletes were getting a raw
deal.
I wrote an editorial urging the
athletes and interested students
to apply pressure to the "funding body," in this case the Student Senate. I called for people
to petition the student government, demonstrate before the
students on campus or call for
recall of some of the senators

LCC music prog·ram expclldld'

The LCC instrum~ntal music
program o.~ the Performing Arts
Department was expaaded this
year to include two stage bands,
a rock/brass band and two jazz
workshops. This makes LCC one
of the few colleges in the nation
with such a comprehensive orogram of "jazz/ rock" for credit.
Both stage bands will play traditional ''standard" music, and
newer jazz/rock songs by groups
like 'Blood, Sweat, and Tears',
'Chicago', and other similar groups.
The first stage band has about
20 musicians, manyofwhomhave
played professionally. This band
w i 11 p 1a y s e v e r a 1 concerts
thoughout the year. According to
Mr. Gene Aitken, band director,

it will also be reading many new
songs. some written specially
for this band.
The second stage band will be
a smaller, fundamental group,
concentrating on teaching students the basics of stage band
music. It will probably play some
concerts later in the year.
B o t h stage b and s have a
rhythm section, (guitar, piano,
bass, and drums), trumpets,
trombones, and saxophones.
The rock/brass band will differ from the stage bands. It
will feature only a rhythm section and six trumpets: they will
play rock music featuring their
trumpet section, as does the
popular rock group, 'Chase'. The
trumpet players are from both
stage bands.

I 1 •

The two jazz workshops are
open to any student who can play
an instrument and would like to
learn something about jazz. One
class will be fundamental--helping the student develop jazz technique. The second class is for
the more advanced student, and
will be concentrating on writing
and arranging in addition to furthering each student's playing
technique.
The fundamental group meets
at 9:00 Thursday morning; the
advanced class meets at 8:00
Tuesday morning: both groups
me,~t in the Music Theory Room,
(008), basement of the Center
Building.
All classes will be taught by
Gene Aitken, director of the LCC
concert band.

offered flight students
_ Anyone wanting a career in
commi~rcial flying would do well
to come to LCC. The program
offered under the title of "Flight
Technology'' offers the student
a 2 year curriculum in which he
can earn a private pilots rating.
New this year is an option
available to those students completing the regular 2 year program. If a qualified student elects to choss this option, he may
continue his instruction to the
point of earning his instructors
rating.
Along with a fine staff, Lane
also has some very fine facilities for flight instruction. AmoHg
the other pieces of training equipment is a "Link-Trainer," a
mock-up device in which the
students can sit and "fly" on a
simulated basis. The trainer is
used extensively for instrument
instruction.
The facilities at Lane are
used in conjunction with those
at Mahlon Sweet Airport, west
of Eugene. Although it is possible to land a plane at Lane
(the north-east parking lot has
no island for this reason) there
are no facilities for instrument
landing and the 1,000 foot parking lot would be somewhat pro-

hibitive to beginning students.
As in most other areas of
instruction at Lane, budget cutbacks have affected the Flight
Tech program. These cutbacks
made necessary some alterations
within the curriculum. Overall
however, the effectivness of the
program has not been limited.
It should be brought to light that
the student pays for all flight fees,
approximately $3,000 for two
years, in addition to the regular

tuition fees. One of the misconceptions that some people
have about such programs is that
all costs beyond tuition are absorbed by the school. This is
not true, in fact ther,~ is not
school sponsored aid available
to students enrolled in this program.
