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

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

wear a black arm band during
moratorium activities in Tinker
Vs . De s Moines Independent
Community School District. 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.

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.

Pri_son reform ~ue for some changes
Much is heard of prison reform these days.
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)

penal system. 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.

Newgate prisoners attending LCC·

Nov. 2

by J.L.Roberts
Here at LCC are men and
women who, for all intents and
purposes are, in fact, prisoners
of O re go n State Penitentiary.
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."

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

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

Parrish resigned his position to

that someone who would be staying on should have taken care of

and to those amongst the Student
Body whom I have counted as my
constituents.
