Dellenback charges 'emotional approach' to UN vote John DF1!lenback, fourth district congressman, spoke to a crowd of approximately 200 students Friday Oct. 29, in LCC's Center Building Rotunda. Dellenback started with a short speech in wh:ch he stated that some of his colleagues are ta king an emotional approach to the United Nations situation. He went on to explain that the rea~ defeat for the U.S. came, not with the vote to include Red Chin a and oust the Taiwan government, but with the vote to consider it an "important issue." Under U.N. bylaws, a two-thirds majority is needed to pass an ''important issue." "Hai1 the vote to consider it an important is sue passed, the n it would have taken a two-thirds vote to admit Red China." Dellenback went on to say "I feel it would be a serious mistake for the U.S. to take what was a procedural defeat and rea~t against the U.N." Dellenback then went o!l to answer questions from the audience. When his opinion was asked on proposed pumice mining at Rock Mesa, he stated " it would be a disaster if it took olace ... I don't think it ought to take place and the question is how do we go about stopping it." Dellenback stated that he had written a letter to the chief of the Forest Service and asked if there were any way of stoppingitunder Lane Community College Vol. 7, No. 5 4000 East 30th Avenue, Eugene, Oregon 97405 November 2, 1971 ACLU Seeks student rights Washington, D,C. (CPS) --Asserting that '' college students are e n t it 1e d to the identical First Amendment protections on the campus as they or any other citizen would have in the community-at-large," the American Civil Liberties Unio!l asked the Supreme Court to review two cases: one involving demonstrations inside campus buildings, the other involving official recognition of student political organizations. If the court agrees to hear the cases, it will mark the first time in 37 years that the Justices have addressed themselves to freedom of speech and assembly for college students. The ACLU noted that ''by virtue of the 26th amendment, almost every college student is now fully enfrancised and entitled to participate in the political process." Two years ago the Court ruled that a high school student could Senate to provide coffee, milk, donuts Free coffee, milk, and doughnuts will be served to LCC students on Wednesday, Nov. 3 from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm.

However, it has not ruled on the First Amendment rights of college students since the 1934 case of Hamilton Vs. Board of Regents of the University of California. The demonstration case arose at Madison College, a state school in Harrisonburg, Va. Ironically, during the student reactions to the invasion of Cambodia in April, 1970, about 25 students and faculty assembled in an open cam- pus building, and expressed their intention to hold an overnight vigil in protest of the firing of several teachers. That vigil was held successfully, but when the group held a similar demonstration two ni6hts later, 30 of them were arrested by campus police. The case _ was carried to the U.S. Di-strict Court, which ruled the college regulations requiring 48 hours advance notice of demonstrations unconstitutional. The regulation that was struck down also required that any unauthorized assembly of students had to disband upon demand of any administration or student government official. The Court said the definition of "demonstration" was unconstitutionally vague; the ban on indoor demonstrations was unconstitutionally broad; the registration rule unconstitutionally barred spontaneous dissent. by Student Senate Red Fox appointed Treasurer The Student Senate ratified the appointment of Treasurer David Red Fox, discussed committee appointments, and funded several projects at its Oct. 28 meeting. Under new business the Senate announced plans for the upcoming Fall Senate Retreat. The retreat is to be held at Heceta House Dec. 3-5. Approximately 40 people are to attend the first days functions, with about 20 remaining for the entire weekend. Ar.cording to Director of Student Activities, Betty Ekstrom, the retreat is designed to allow Senators to get to know each other better. She said, "It allows you to do things which can't be done in meetings." A r.ommittee, chaired by Jay Boulton, Second Vice-President, was formed to investigate the possibilities of free milk for LCC students. Boulton said "This is the only campus in the state which doesn't have free milk." Four hundred dollars was allotted to provUe the student iJody with free coffe,~ and <:trmuts on two d:-!./S during the term. This will happen once during midterms and once during Fin al s week. The Senate also voted to provide the Diesel Mechanics Department with partial funding for a proposed field trip to Seattle. Spokesmen from the Diesel Department stated that the $400 from the Senate would cover less than half their expenses. All other money is to come from the Diesel Mechanics Department. The spokesmen stated that the trip would cover Jorgensen Steel, Cummins Diesel, and other points of interest. The ·Fourth Circuit Court of .Appeals, however, overturned the District judge's ruling. The second case concerns students at Central Connecticut State College, who in Sept. 1969, asked for official college recognition of their chapter of Students for a Democratic Society. F. Don James. president of the school, rejected the advice of a student-faculty committee and denied recognition. The ACLU is arguing in this case that college officials may interfere with the exercise of F i rs t Amendment rights on I y upon showing "a clear and present danger of some substantive evil occurring," and that the burden of proof is on the administrator. the Environmental Pr o t e c t ion Act, or under the Forest Service's own policies., He said one of the problems is that Congressman Aspinal, chairman of the House Int e r i o r c o m m it t e e, "comes from an area with mining up to its neck." Dellenback went on to say that any legislative sanctions would have to be aimed at the Three Sisters Wilderness, that they could not encompass anymore than that and hope to ha7e any chance of making it through Congress. Commenting on the proposed Amchitka nuclear test, he said he felt the test was safe, and since it would be an underground test rather than an atmospheric test, he had no qualms about it. When asked about the possible effects of Phase II on the Economic program, Dellenback said "I have a strong feeling. . . that we will be making a grave mistake if we move forward and establish anything like a permanent wage price control. . .If this is established we will have the greatest expansion of federal bureaur,racy you can dream of... where every little thing you do has to somehow be cleared through one office or another." He went on to say that it was impossible at this time to predict what repercussions of the program r: might be for the State of Oregon. Dellenback, when asked about socialized medicine, stated the two most important areas in his view were those concerning low income people and victims of disasters. He stressed the need for federal aid to disaster victims. Along the same lines was a question regarding the Family Assistance Program. He said there are some problems in the program, and "we can't wait until it reaches fruition." Dellenback stated that there is a problem of sex discrimination in higher education. He said Congress was still awaiting full debate on the issue. He stated the problem had two main manifestations: employmentpractices and admission to graduate school. Both areas, he said, contain sex discrimination. He said the problem is more pr-avalant at schools in the east, such as the University of Michigan, but that the problem does exist in the west as well, and cited the University of Oregon as an example. The U of O is currently under investigation for sex discrimination offenses. When asked if he thought Spiro Agnew would be on the party ticket in 1972, Dellenback stated that he had opposed Agnew in 1968. : : Bike co-op being planned for Eugene A hicycle co-op is now being planned in the Eugene area for bike enthusiasts, for the purpose of teaching bicycle safety and minor repairs. A meeting for those who are interested will be held on Nov. 3 at 6:30 pm in room 177 of Laurance Hall at the University of Oregon campus. The co-op plans to acquire a place where it can meet, trade tools, books, teach safety, and plan events. Jean Mackinzie, organizer of the bike co-op, has stated that any person interested in joining or lending tools and books should contact her at 689-4235. Congressman John Oellenback (Photo by Bill Hirning) Students to determine own voting residence Correction The 26th amendment grants the vote to eighteen-year-olds and in the opinion of Attorney General Lee Johnson the rule for establishing residence for voting purposes should be no different for the younger citizen than any other qualified voter. Last week a TORCH story on teacher evaluation stated that a new procedure would allow for evaluation of department chairmen. Ted Romoser, last year's F a c u It y S e ct i o n Committee chairman, pointed out that department chairmen have their own system of evaluation. He also said that the need for instructor evaluation originated in three areas. There was general public demand for more teacher accountability, faculty dissatisfaction with previous methods of evaluation, and the feeling by LCC's board that not enough evaluation was done. This significant opinion was issued on Oct. 20 in response to a question posed by the Secretary of State. Johnson's opinion points out that minors who are qualified to vote must be treated as emancipated for all purposes related to voting and that they are as capable as their parents of establishing or changing their voting residences. The opinion states that voting residence is "neither gained nor lost" by attendance at college or university, and if a college student considers himself to still be a resident of his family home, although away from it to attend college, the family home remains his residence for voting purposes. However, this opinion continues, if he considers he has left the family home and estab.a. lished his own residence, even if only a college dormitory, and does not intend to return ''home" to live, he may register and vote at his new location. The key to location of an individual's voting residence is his ''intent", according to the Attorney General's opinion. Under Oregon law, a voter declares his residence address under oath. The opinion states this declaration is virtually conclusive as to the location of a person's voting residence. The opinion concludes that support by parents, visits to parents' home and similar factors are not sufficient to overcome the individual's declaratio!l of intent.

It's become a popular topic at dinner parties. One can hope the concern advanced by so many people for those unfortunates inside prisons is genuine, and not merely a delletante affectation. The punitive concept upon which our prison system is predicated so fallacious as to be It is all but incomprehensible that absurd. supposedly intelligent men could create such a nefarious monstrosity. But, the system was created, and it does still exist. The idea that punishment must be harsh in order to deter future crimes has cost us so much that it staggers the imagination, and yet, for many years, notables indungeon-runninghave persisted in this notion. Until very recently, prison operation has had but one criterion--might. Aprison's worth was measured by how escape-proof it might be, not by how well it enabled convicts to cope with society at large. The rehabilitation programs consisted of teaching convicts fo make license plates for the motor vehicles department of the state. Things are going to have to change. Society ·wm have to learn that even if the Judeo-Christian ethic says "punish people," we can only afford to punish people for so long. It does very little good to jail some kid, arrested for car stealing or dope-pushing, or draft resisting, and lock him up in an environment which is completely isolated from sodety; where his only contemporaries are felons, and the only authority present is that of unfeeling guards. He will learn a lot in prison, but almost none of it will help him avoid a second, stay in the state hotel. So, in effect, the state subsidizes a serialization of crime: in other words, the people who brought you the first act, wherin Joe Whossez, would-be car thief, is accorded a little American blind justice, will more than likely be directly responsible for bringing us the- second and third acts wherin Joe continues on this or a similar vein and everybody, including Joe, pays through the nose. Every so often, just as some warden (masquerading as a paragon to piety) is saying "It can't happen here," as John Q. Public is stifling another yawn, the inmate of some state supported guerilla warfare training camp, tired of sub-standard food, unfeeling guards, and other phases of the curricula, blows the place up. Oh? What'5 ,1our val't-Z. C, The reaction of authorities seems to be almost universal: shoot a few convicts, hire some guards (even less adept than before), build stronger cell blocks, then they can get back to business as usual. Things are looking up, however. Programs such as Newgate show that maybe we are finally less hung-up on punishment than results. Let's • hope that all the concern is more than merely dilletante affectation. Editorial rebutal President's iob 'complex' by Omar Barbarossa ASLCC President Whatever else may be said about the student body, it is for sure that no one can, at this time, say we have an apathetic student body. In the past few days I have had mor•a aroused students pigeon hole me; stop and question me, come by the office; and, in general, avail me to their opinions. Due to the TORCH editorial of Oct. 26, "Whatever Happened to Political Integrity," many questions have been raised about the essentiality of student government. I do not wish to indulge in retaliatory comments, nor do I wish to c;_ontinue the controversy surrounding my less-thanpropitious summer activities while serving as student body president. I feel, however, that a statement needs to be made both to those who voted me into office and to those students who may disagree with my point but who, never the less, are concerned about what happens at Lane Community College. The job of trying to represent students is a complex one. It requires an individual who possesses administrative abilities and the ability to communicate with all kinds of individuals. It requires understanding of parliamentary matters and appreciation of structured politics. It requires a fair and objective mind--a diplomat-in other words, a versatile, flexible, and certainly not a slow-thinking individual. I come to school at 7:30 every morning and do not leave my office many times until 7:00 that evening. In other words, one must be a glutton for punishment!! As student body president, many times I have to make decisions that infuriate and upset certain segments of the student population. I try to analyze all the facts, talk with other Senators and students in general, and then make a decision the best I can. I have been condemned a liberal by conservatives and deemed a traitor by liberals when I advocate the right of groups with different views to exercise their viewpoint, even though that viewpoint may be somewhat conservative. You lose if you do, and you lose if you don't; but that is, many times, serving the democratic process. Obviously, I believe in working within the system (I do not deny that the system needs reforming in many of its aspects but that is another topic) or I would not be where I am today. Because we may have failed to communicate to the student body in the past where exactly we are going and what we hope to achieve as a student government I will henceforth make a report to the students in issues of the TORCH. I believe that out of everything, good must come, even though, as in this case, the editorial put me in a bad light. It certainly prompted me to take a long look and do some soul-searching about what my motivations really are for being in student government. I still contend that this administration will be the most far-reaching and dynamic that has ever held office on this campus. I am sure there will be more controversies (I hope not too many) and many times certain individuals will disagree with decisions that are made. I can only ask you, the students, to care enough to acquaint yourselves with what's going on on your campus. It is your money that is being spent--in this case, $54,000--and I would hope that you don't treat this lightly. I arrv proud to say that I have an Executive Cabinet with a depth of experience, maturity, and strength, and if you will look at the composition, I challenge any student government in this country to emulate us. Remember, it is easy to resort to name-calling and copping-out or being critical, but it is hard to pay the price of involvement. Unfortunately. too many times we are encouraged to condemn those who are willing to pay the price of involvement. Letters to the Editor Another side To the Editor; The past two articles in the TORCH that I have read in regard to our current Student Body President Omar Barbarossa have tended to def 1ate the student body's attitude toward his individual characteristics. I am not writing this article to condone or defend any of Omar's actions. I would merely like to point out that there is a side of Omar which is yet to be printed. For example; a friend of mine having no money, no job, wished to come to school. Registration was over and his chances were slim. I took this friend to Omar who in turn got him into school. This is but one example; I could give more. Omar is not my personal friend but is a friend to all that need help. Gino Giannone Government not corrupt To the Editor: In last week's (Oct. 26) TORCH there were two letters decrying corruption in s tu de n t government. The rational behind both of these letters seems to be, "Well, Omar got his tail in the sling, and if Omar's corrupt, the whole student government must be corrupt, too." Being a Senator-at-Large at LCC, I'm a little pissed off at this kind of reasoning. If vou're mad at Omar--and you've got to figure out where your head is at on that issue--fine, that's your right. But don't start slinging crap in MY direction because of it. There was some bitching about OCCSA in one of the letters (w i 11 the real John Gustafson please stand up). If your idea of a "vacation" is to spend 6-10 hours-a-day in formal meetings in which you're trying to hassle through some constr·1ctive programs on a state-wide level, fine. If your idea of a vacation is to run on 3, 4, or 5 hour's sleep a night because you're hassling semantics and concepts and personal problems with other 1elegations, that's fine too. That is not, however. MY idea of a va(continued on page 7) The innocent bystander by Arthur Hoppe Chronicle Features Prison reform is in the air.

The damage done during this period cannot be measured and rehabilitation becomes impossible without a miracle. I call this the vegetation period-a period where the life has not been harvested and rots; regression in every sense of the word. Our general society does not realize the harmful effects of such a system and they harvest only the hard-core criminal, they harvest further crime! It takes only a step inside a courtroom to see the beginning and the end. One look can distinguish the criminal seeking help she knows will be denied, and searching for a way to avoid the fate of being indoctrinated as a convict. You!, the taxpayer, must help turn these observations into theory and help penologists to change our prison structure. Your eyes must open and realize that convicts and criminals are people--criminally ill people searching for a cure. As i n a n y il 1n e s s , the criminally ill need treatment, not isolation. I would suggest a system where freedom is earned, something comparable to the system used in mental hospitals. No definite time span need be allotted to any criminal. I would suggest an observation period. A period determined by the individual's attitude, behavior, personal problems etc. Under the present system the inmate goes for parole when she has done one third of her time. Inmates having long sentences usually become bitter after a year or so. Most of the time a prisoner's earlier release would establish a positive reaction from the individual and make ultimate success probable. Instead of the present parole supervision system 1 I could envision counselors, psychiatrists and psychologists working with the parolee and her_ problem, teaching her how to function with society. In Washington,D,C.,they are experimenting with the inmates peer group as parole counselors. So far this program has show a 7·0% success over the parole officers (enforcement). The citizen's role in such a plan is great; someone must take the first step by realizing what's going on now and accepting the convict and ex-convict as human, and not stigmatize them further. (Further information about the results of using convict parole counselors can be ob t a i n e d through the Federal Office of Parole and Probation, Washington D.C.)

Startling as this may sound, it nevertheless is true. Attending college under a new concept, these men and women are sponsored by federally funded Oregon Project Newgate (OPN). Newgate was designed by Dr. Thomas E. Gaddis, author of ''BIRD MAN OF ALCATRAZ." The program came into being March 31, 1967 as Upward Bound Oregon Prison Project. Since its inception the project has sponsored over 200 students, m any who are st i 11 attending school. The basic philosphy is the individual is better suited to compete in society on a higher level of academic achievement. The original purpose of the project was to demonstrate that an institution of higher learning~ working in cooperation with the state division of corrections, could install and operate an education and regeneration program in a maximum security prison. The specific target of the program is the provision of campus-type c o 11 e g e preparatory education for a group of inmates selected from the inmate population of the Oregon State Prison. The first phase of the program brings the campus to the inmates rather than inmates to campus. Campus environment is intro du c e d and superimposed upon the prison system bybringing c,1_mpus classes, speakers, faculty participation, and any kind of cultural events (drama or music)which the prison may allow, The ''inside" program includes an intensive preparatory experience with the emphasis placed upon developing study skills and English composition. The in m ate also learns study techniques, and an attempt is made to acquaint him with the levels of knowledge required by a college. During the following months, the inmate will work in regular college credit level courses, and undergo individual and group counseling. After these experiences, the inside student is recognized as a candidate for sponsorship as an "outside" student. The second and increasingly important part of this experimental project is the adjustment of students released from prison to a college campus. The prison environment is based on diverse polarities of custody and treatm_ent; some prisoners feel "warehoused," and after an extended period, prisoners tend to become "pavlovianized" (due to ringing bells announcing time to get up, go to the messhall, school, or work, or the recreationyard); and other problems which create a multitude of difficulties that are unanticipated for the reentry of a convict into society. In both the "inside" and "outside" programs, the general goal sought is a change of attitude towards society and self through education and skilled communications counseling. Thepsychological goal is inmate regeneration and change in self-concept, and an alteration of basic motivational patterns. The function of Newgate is transition from prison to the community, giving incentive and purpose by encouraging positive influence and helping to change negative influence which affect individual adjustment. The assumption is made that natively endowed, but socially and culturally handicapped individuals, can "turn on" to new educational levels in society if given a careful chance. Justice sometimes misleading by J. L. Roberts Dr. Karl Menninger, prominent psychiatrist and author of the book "The Crime of Punishment" postulates that "our wor5t crime is our ignorance about crime" and the facts concerning criminal behavior. When we speak of crime and punishment, we are confronted with rational justice. "Justice" is a very nebulous term when what could be justice for some people could in all actuality, be vengeance for others. Still, if it is used as it is commonly defined in our criminal courts it is meaningless because justice must not only be an undertaking of the past, but planning for the future as well. Crime endangers the establishment as a whole and may damage or even destroy all that has been built. The impulse to revenge ourselves for disappointments or injuries is very powerful, and is one of the most natural of all our dispositions. How many times has a child smashed what he was building, or demolished a toy, because it disappointed him? You or I, may bungle a job or smash a thumb and smash the tools in frustrated anger. All but a very few are prone to hurt those who have hurt them. Yet, the intensity of the passion for vengeance and the extremes to which it has sometimes led, is full of implied assumptions on what constitutes justice and criminal reform. With the development of societies, it became increasingly apparent that vengeance for wrongs could not be left to individuals. Slowly, in one area after another of human relationships, there developed the majestic ideal of just i c e--to be administered by the constituted authority, according to law, after a full investigation of all the relevant facts and with unflinching impartiality. That such an ideal is not universally accepted even in advanced societies, we can see in every case o! mo'J violence, class or race wars, and the "warehousing" of human beings in our prisons. Certainly, t h a t "justice" should triumph through retribution--the infliction of suffering--is a very incomplete sort of triumph. By relying on re- tribution authority lowers itself to the level of the offender and displays a disposition similar to his. If the vindication of the social will is the only, or even the first aim of justice, society seems no better than a tyrant. Menninger states:" Eliminating one offender who happens to get caught weakens public security by creating a false sense of diminished danger through a definite remedial measure. Actually, it does not remedy anything and it bypasses completely the real unsolved problems of how to identify, detect, and detain potentially dang e r o us citizens. Society, _ having the responsibility of not lowering itself to the level of a tyrant, must deal with the offender intelligently and humannly. The aims of the social will, when dealing with the offender, must be to repair the wrong committed (as far as possible), prevent the occurences of more offenses, and as a part of this, to reclaim those who commit crimes against society. Protection from future offenses would not be complete justice until the regeneration of the offender and his return to society has been accomplished. Menninger substantiates this view in ''The Crime of Punishment" by raising questions and a proposal of decentralized police authority--'' community safety centers" as crime pr~venting centers where the primary function is the pr::!vention of crime and the preservation of peace in an designated area. The duty of the staff would be to ::tssist citizens in any form of social behavior, including crimes against the offended as well as the offender. When a crime is committed and the offender captured, he or she would be taken to a center for identification and examination. It would then be determined to have the offender transferred to a central court or diagnostic center. A judge would evaluate the center's report and sentence the offender to a program for continuing correction or parole. The actual procedure of courts and penal systems ~xisting in the United States is not in accordance with justice nor a 'real' regeneration of the law offender. Society deals with very large numbers of offenders and, in most cases, lacks the knowledge and the understanding as well as the resources to affect regeneration, much less do away with the causes of crime. Penal procedure must be a series of evaluations from time of arrest until release from authority. 'Instead of "warehousing" lives as a deterrent to crime. some criminal careers can be thwarted by intelligent administering of probation, fines, or light punishment. And finally, Mcnninger's ideas may not be the answers to society's criminal problems, but "it favors - the elimination of unfairness and injustices so that the system of criminal justice can win the respect and cooperation of all citizens." ALI BABA 3758 Frank-lin Blvd. 7 46-920 Exotic Lamb Shish Kebab at lunch 11:30-1:30 pm Of the 200 men and women who have been released from prison under OPN sponsorship. a oercentage of approximately 10 % have been returned to the prison for minor infractions. The national average for those returning to prison after release ranges - from 65% to 7o%. Statistically it can be stated that of OPN students, only 8 (or 4%) have returned to the prison for new crimes. Prisoner reform in Oregon has taken on a new face. The trend towards treatment-oriented programs is manifested in OPN, and its productiveness can only be measured by law offenders who are functioning within the range of controls that society demands. Despite the various difficulties encountered by the project, both inside and outside, it hasnowbecome clear that in the main a successful and rewarding pro- TORCH gram has been established within the maximum security prison. It is also being demonstrated that the program initiated inside the prison can be continued to campus placement outside the prison with more than moderate success.

I disagree. This incident, coupled with others outlined in the editorial are the very things which led the Executive Cabinet to call first for Mr. Barbarossa's resignation then later for his censure. The editorial goes on to imply that the Executive Cabinet was negligent in its duties by not supplying information about these events in Student Government to the Student Body. To this I must say that the Student Body as well as the TORCH staff must know that the Student Government has no direct media communication with the students. Student Government activities are published an d d i s s e m m i n at e d through the TORCH. I, in my capacity as Publicity Director, insured that the TORCH was kept up to date about the situation. Bill Bauguess, TORCH Editor, assured the members of the Executive Cabinet that this information would be published and made available to the Student Body. As a consequence, I felt that my responsibilities in keeping the students aware of what went on during this period of time had been fulfilled. As far as the Student Senate itself not being informed, Mr. Barbarossa stated that he wished to take care of that himself at the first Student Senate meeting. That this action was not sufficiently accomplished is a judgment the TORCH has made. The fint Senate meeting being my last Sen ate meeting (editor's note Parrish resigned his position to become Co-Manager of the Student Awareness Center.) I felt that someone who would be staying on should have taken care of any further explanations deemed necessary. I hope this will help clarify my position to the TORCH staff and to those amongst the Student Body whom I have counted as my constituents. was happening to their monies, came to the Senate meeting only long enough to place their gripes, ask a few questions then exit madder than HELL, without learnmg anything.
