Bushnell walks out on HPUP
Emerald editor Art Bushnell reads a prepared statement condemning Hearing Panel on University Priorities' decision to bar
''outsiders" from their meetings concerning the U of O budget.
Bushnell called the committee's decision a breach of academic
freedom. The Emerald editor, who was the last non-panel member to
leave the hearings, has led the fight to keep such meetings open
to the public.
Representatives of the press walked out in protest of the
"closed door" policy of the U of O's Hearing Panel on University
Priorities (HPUP) at its meeting on Wednesday, March 1. The
press had been blamed by the HPUP committee for disrupting the
proceedings. Members of the panel had said they would not discuss
the University budget with the press in attendance.
HPUP is a committee of 15 members, appointed by U of 0
President Robert Clark to recommend ways to trim 1. 5 million
dollars from the University's 1972-73 24 million dollar budget.
Four times in February newsmen, including Oregon Daily
Emerald Editor Art Bushnell and representatives of the Portland
Oregonian and United Press International, attended HPUP meetings.
Each of these times the press was asked to leave but refused.
Each of these times HPUP cancelled the meeting.
The newsmen refused to leave, contending that "the public
has a right to know what goes on at these meetings," according
to Bushnell.
At HPUP's fourth attempt to hold a closed door session Feb. 27,
President Clark attended the meeting and told representatives of
the press, "The reason HPUP wants it's deliberations in committee
(in private) before the recommendations are made ••. is that 90 per
cent of our budget is personnel. It is not possible to engage in these
budget discussions without engaging in discussions of personnel."
A Feb. 29 Emerald editorial stated, "The Emerald has offered
proposals many times to the administration which would allow reporting of HPUP without spreading personnel information about individual faculty members all over campus, a main concern expressed
by HPUP members."
In the most recent meeting Wednesday March 1, Bushnell delivered a statement. In it he stated that:
''During the last four weeks, we have tried to raise the issue
of the public's right to know on this campus.
''It is too bad this committee didn't give proper consideration
to the implications of open and closed meetings. At this point, yve
will no longer allow ourselves to be used as an excuse for this com mittee to ignore it's task. We think you will find that your methods
of news management and dissemination of information are inadequate. You will also find yourselves being used by news leaks from
within the panel and hurt by rumors from the outside. The mere
presence of the press would have prevented that."
The press walk-out included members of the Emerald, the
Oregonian and U.P.L After the walkout representatives of the
TORCH and the Eugene Register-Guard, who attended the meeting
to cover the dispute between the panel and the press, also left.
HPUP's hearings are expected to continue until March 15.

. AAJC Convention, brings 'results
Participation termed 'quietest student revolution ever';
representation and proposals adopted by convention
ASLCC President Omar Barbarossa and Vets
Club Senate Representative Tony Rogers returned from the American Association of Junior College's (AAJC) convention in Dallas, Texas last week and termed the student participation
in the convention "the quietest student revolution
ever."
''They (the association) knew the students were
coming and they expected confrontation tactics.
Instead we surprised them and worked within the
system. We killed them with love," Barbarossa
observed.
•
Tangible results of student involvement at the
convention, according to Barbarossa, included the
formation of the National Association of American
Junior Colleges Student Council (NAAJCSC); the
re-structuring of the Aa.JC's board of Governors
with student representation; and the adoption of
seven student proposals by the convention.
The seven student proposals adopted by the
convention were that:
• Under certain criteria, all veterans be
awarded college work study programs.
• An Office of Student Affairs be set up
in the AAJC's Washington, DC headquarters to
coordinate student affairs on a national level.
• A program be established to help students
transfer financial aid received at two year schools
to four year schools.
• Local offices of student affairs be established on compuses to provide communication and
coordination with the national office.
• M~iling and communications from AAJC
be sent to all local student governments, staff
associations, and administrators.
• An "open door" admission policy be adopted ·by all member institutions (excepting private schools).
e In the future, all commissions, forums,
and panels must have student representation.
Barbarossa was elected chairman of the student council and as such will sit on the Board
of Governors.
"The only reason we (the students) got as
much done as we did was because we ,vere
organized. We caucused the first night and
drafted our proposals. With Dr. Schafer's help
we managed to meet with the Board of Governors. He opened a lot of doors for us. He even
signed over his proxy to Tony and me," explained Barbarossa.
Speculating on the reason for the students'
success, Barbarossa reasoned, "Educators are
concerned about charges that they are not responsive to student participation. AAJC wants to
make a visible effort to disprove that charge."
Barbarossa commented that many of the delegates were impressed by the number and quality
of student oriented programs at Lane. "I'd talk
to them (the delegates) about some of the programs
at Lane like the proposed INPUT courses, the
Student awareness Center, the Institutional Bill
of Rights, the autonomy of the student government,
and the proposed student health plan, and they
thought I was talking about a four year school,"
he exclaimed.
Students seek county commissioner seat
Bobby Edwards, a 26 year old Democrat and a
Community Service and Public Affairs major at the
U of o, will be running in the May 23rd primary
election for Lane County Commissioner. Edwards
is currently enrolled at Lane this term for 12
hours.
Edwards says
that his priorities
for the office will
be to bring a more
progressive government to Lane
County.
"We need more
federal low and
m i ct d 1e income
ho u s in g," says
Edwards, ''better
sewage disposal,
pollution control
and more employment."
Edwards is a
member of the
B o a r d of Directors of the MroAmerican ins tiEdwards
tute. He has also
taught workshops at the University of Oregon on
Black Studies in Geography.
In 1970 Edwards ran for Student Body president
here at LCC losing by only 8 votes. He has been a
guest lecturer at various public institutions and
community organizations.
According to Edwards, Lane County could have
better housing if the agencies within the County
would cooperate to make the area an equal opportunity employer. "If each agency within the
County would hire just one minority person,
says Edwards, "then the county would be considered an equal opportunity employer." "As it is
the agencies have refused to do this and the
Federal Government has refused to release
millions of dollars in funds for housing."
Edwards, who is now chairman of the Eugene
Human Rights Commission, and minority specialist for School District 4-J, has, for the past five
years, been instrumental in helping to organize
minority groups, such as the Black Studies
Program here at LCC. He was the original
Coordinator for the Lane program as well as
founder of Lane's Black Student Union.
William Krueger, a 21 year old student at
LCC, has formally announced his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for countycommissioner.
Krueger, who is a student senator here at
Lane, feels that the door between the people and
the countv government has been closed for a long
time; that county
g o v e r n m e n t is
"too distant from
the people.''
As an officer
in OSPIRG,
Krueger feels
that county
government directly relates to a
citizens' everyd a y 1if e . Proble ms of traffic and
expansion of urban a r e a s h a v e
been a main effort of Krueger in
the OSPIRG organization.
Krueger believes that some
Krueger
of the problems
in county government are the government's response to people's problems, that the county's
answers to tax problems are inadequate, and that a
thick bureaucracy prevails in the county structure.
The Lane student, if elected, would try to reform the county tax structure. "Take everyone
solely on their ability to pay. An income tax that
favors no loopholes for large landowners and
corporations is what this county needs," Krueger
said . . He added, "if people could feel benefitc:
they wouldn't vote down taxes."
Krueger would resolve the problem of response
to people's individual problems by creating an
"open door" in the commissioners' office at a
time convenient for the working person. He said,
"I would create a field day for getting feedback
from the average citizen."
Krueger's main objection to the proposedl990
plan is that "very little youth representation
exists on the planning, while today's young people
will be ·the citizens of 1990."
Krueger's belief is that his youth can be an
advantage in dealing with the problems of the
cdunty.

The innocent bi:stander
Out of the race
Humanity:
Will humanity survive its self-made ecological mistakes?
Some studies predict that the human race will not last out the century. The cause of death on the coroner's report could be any number
of causes from auto exhaust emission filtering out the sunlight to
a lack of drinkable water. More than likely the race will end not with
•
a bang but a long, dying whimper.
This whimpering extinction will probably take one of two forms.
In one case the species will survive -in some manner. The techno-logical system will fulfill its potential for global disaster and burn
itself up. World population levels will drop to pre-industrial,
perhaps primitive agricultural levels. Civilized societies will disappear. The remaining members of the species will grub out an existence from an inhospitable earth that will take perhaps hundreds of
thousands of years to rebalance its resources.
In the second possibility the population will retreat into huge
controlled environment centers, much like spaceships that manufacture their own environment. Humans will move into zoos to be maintained much like caged animals. Behavior and lifestyles will be
completely altered. Humanity will survive physically, but the quality
of the human spirit left will be questionable and perhaps not even
recognizable as human in the sense we know of it now.
Both possibilities equal death with homo sapiens adding themselves to the list of extinct species. The first possibility has a
heroic quality of struggle and disaster. Man would be cast in the
classical role of the tragic hero, a heroic figure trapped by fate
or the gods or his own nature, struggling valiantly to the end, perhaps even clawing his way !:-"ck up to civilization.
The second possibility contains overtones of "1984," or "Brave
New World." Will we be willing to prostitute ourselves to a system
we have created in order to survive? The transition to becoming a
kept animal may be so gradual we may not even notice it. One thing
is clear. We are rapidly reaching the fail-safe point of no return.
When we reach that point, we will have only one choice left - the
manner of our death.
Geopolitics makes instant friends
by Arthur Hoppe
Six months ago I had 800 million
enemies where now I have 800 million friends. And I am a:igry.
The anger grew all week as
picture f o 11 owed picture from
far-away China: a beaming Nixon
shaking hands with a beaming Mao
Tse-tung; a smiling Nixon toasting a graciously bowing Chou Enlai-the papers, the news magazines and my television set seemed crowded with laughing Nixons,
chuckling Maos and wryly grinning Chou En-lais.
How warm and witty they all
were. And the Chinese people!

thoughtful and dedicated and happy with their lot.
That's fine. I am glad to have
800 million new friends. I am
grateful to Mr. Nixon for having
the courage to give them to me-and me to them. And I am delighted that Mao and Chou went along
with the deal.
How easy it all was.
Yet for 20 years I have been
taught to hate and fear the Chinese
people and their leaders. The
people were automatons drudging
away in a backward ant-like society led by power-mad dictators
who dreamed of sweeping across
Asia with their hordes and bringing America to her knees.
For 20 years my leaders have
Press: Out of the meeting
Battlelines were drawn; positions were stated; and it looked
like a stalemate. However, after weeks of forcing the University
of Oregon's Hearing Panel on University Priorities to cancel
its meetings, the Oregon Daily Emerald switched tactics. Editor
Art Bushnell, after reading a statement championing "the public's right to know," walked out of the meeting thereby allowing it
to proceed in closed session. And everybody lost.
The public lost its access to accurate information. News coming
out of the meetings will now probably be based on "security leaks."
The panel lost the advantage of having a reporter present who could
fairly and accurately report information that did not involve personnel matters.
The precedent of having reporters present in executive sessions
is well established. The LCC Board of Education has a very good
working arrangement with the media with the understanding that
matters discussed off the record will remain that way. The public
benefits because the reporter at least has the background to publicly announced decisions.
We are fortunate at Lane to have this precedent. Decisions
and discussion concerning budget cuts and re-alignments have, in
fact, already started. We aren't going to be walking out of any.

been teaching me that. Theyhave
led me into wars in Korea and
Vietnam to preserve democracy
and contain these bloody-handed
Red tyrants.
For the same 20 years, Mao
and Chou were teaching their 800
million people to hate and fear
me. I ~as a running dog of imperialism, bent on destroying
their revolution and ruling them
again through corrupt capitalist
warlords like Chiang Kai-shek.
So they marched off into battle
to kill me and mine.
And how easy all that was,
too.
But now, overnight, our leaders
have decided that I and a quarter
of the human race will be friends
again-primarily because it suits
their purposes. •
I'm not positive what their purposes are. I would guess that Mao
and Chou want my friendship to
worry Taiwan and Japan and to
make the Russians think twice
before attacking China from the
west.
I would guess that Mr. Nixon
is giving them my friendship in
hopes of playing off Peking against Moscow, thus maintaining
the split in the Communist bloc.
For these are the games leaders play. Containment, encirclement, blocs, splits--the fascinating game of geopolitics. And,

There is a theory going around
that the Eugene Police Department, and its officers, are among
the mellowest in the' country. The
department has a reputation for

people, rather than just part of the
system.

being leaders, they play to win.
I believe they play for the ms elves
to win-not for me.
For if I die on some unpronounceable battlefield, I have lost
forever. But they have only lost
another of their millions of
pawns·. For them, the game goes
on.
Yet this is not so much what
angers me. I understand the
fascination of the game. If I
were a leader, I would probably
play it, too.
What angers me is how easy
it was.
How easily they manipulated
me into hating and fearing when
that served their purpose. How
easily they now maneuver me into
liking and admiring when that
serves their p u r pose . How
easily~lmost contemptuously-they turn my emotions on and off
like hot and cold water faucets.
So I am angry with myself.
Okay, this time I'll play. This
time I'll give .and accept goodwill and friendship. But when they
again ask for my hatred and fear,
God give me the spirit to reject
their games.
How very hard that will be.

lectively decided to take advantage of the climbing facilities in
the Mall that were built for young
children.
Wayne, my brother-in-law, and
I climbed to the top of a wooden
structure, and-were assisting my
wife up, whensuddenlysixpolicemen materialized, with two police
cars. They had their guns drawn,
and one yelled "Keep your hands
in sight!" Then another grabbed
my wife. Wayne jumped down,
and two policemen immediately
g r ab be d him and pushed him
against the the nearest wall. They
held a gun at his head. I jumped down, and two more grabbed
me, and pushed me face first into
a wall, and then handcuffed my
hands behind my back, tight.
One policeman then asked the
other five whether they should
arrest my wife. .n.nother said,
"Yes, she was climbing up," but
at .this point they began to see
how ludicrous the situation was.
They didn't arrest her.
They pulled Wayne and I to a
policecar, and I asked if I could
give the keys to our car to my
wife. A policeman reached in my
pocket, extracted the keys with
the crude quip, "I didn't reach
too deep,'' laughed and gave my
wife the keys.
At this point I had asked once
or twice if they could loosen my
handcuffs, because they wQre
tight and had begun to hurt. I
could feel my hands swelling. Instead they shoved me into a police car, and they shoved Wayne
into the other side of the same
car.
My wife was still standing with
four policemen as we drove off
to the City-County Jail. One of the
policemen mentioned that the reason they were all there was because they had received a call
about a knife fight in a bar near
the Mall. It seems that they got
us instead of the knifer.
At the jail we were relieved of
all that we had in our pockets,
which included my regular size
pocket-knife. They changed us

into prison clothing, and booked
us. Our bail was set at $53.
The next morning we were taken to the 9 a.m. traffic court
in a police van. I was called
first by the judge, and he said
that I was charged with disorderly
conduct, specifically climbing on
the Mall structure, climbing on
the J.C. Penney's fire escape,
and putting myself in a position
to cause myself personal harm.
I, of course, pleaded not guilty, because, although I had been
climbing on a Mall structure,
there were other, higher structures in the Mall that had been
built for small children to play
on and I had not in any way attempted to climb on the J.C.
Penney's fire escape. He set my
bail at $53 and said I would be
notified of my trial date.
My brother-in-law Wayne was
then called, and was read the
same charges. Wayne had planned
to leave for Louisiana that morning with a friend, and with the
~ssumption that they would fine
him m;ily five, or at the most
ten dollars , pleaded guilty. The
judge then asked him if he or his
friend had had a knife. Wayne said
''Yes," alluding to my pocket
knife, and the judge fined him
$53.
Right now, I am asking myself, "Why, what for?" The fact
that I had a pocket knife obviously had a bearing on Wayne's
exorbitant fine. Perhaps the judge
was informed of the knife fight
the night before, and assumed
that my wife, Wayne, and I were
involved, And why the fabricated
charges concerning the J.C. Penney's fire escape?
Is the EPD mellow?

Dear Editor:
I would like to try and answer
Ms. Jan Harp's letter of Feb. 29
concerning the "other Side." In
regards to what right we have to
set up a booth in opposition to
military recruiters on campus,
I think that the answer to that
should be obvious. The last I
heard this country is still a democracy and still adheres to the
principles of freedom of speech.
Perhaps it would help Ms. Harp
if I try to explain the purpose of
the "Other Side."
The "other Side" exists primarily to present students with
an alternate view of military
service and its function in our
country. We try to relate our experiences as veterans to those
people who wish to gain as rounded a view of the military as
possible. By doing this, we feel
that people can take the information that they receive from the
recruiters and the information
that they receive from us and
make up their own mind as to
whether or not they care to participate in a military situation.
We are admittedly anti-war and
-feel that the war in Vietnam is a
ludicrous waste of life and resources, and because of these
views we feel that it is essential that young men and women
should at least have the opportunity to be exposed to our concepts and experiences, before
they make the choice as to whether they wish to take part in such
an activity.
Ms. Harp also wanted to know
why we don't seem to show the
recruiters the respect that she
feels we as students should show
a guest on our campus. I can only
do not
answer this by saying I
view the recruiters as guests,
but rather as salesmen, here to
sell their product, and that product is service in the Armed Forces. In this concept the "Other
Side" becomes a type of consumer protection agency designed
to help present the full story
concerning the effect of the military services on the individual,
the nation, other peoples of the
world, and the global ecology. I
respect many of the recruiters
as human beings, and have on
several occasions had very rewarding conversations with them,
in a one to one, human to human
respect. We do have different
views of the military, and both
the recruiters and I seek to pre-

sent our views to the public. It
is important to know that both the
recruiters that I have talked to
and I myself feel that both sides
have a right to present whatever view point that we think is •
important, and allow those people
concerned to make up their own
minds as to what course of action
they will follow.
I would like at this time to
say that if Ms. Harp would like
to find out more information about
the "Other Side," or if any student would like more information,
I will be more than happy to sit
down with them and explain my
side and listen to theirs. I feel
that conversations of this nature,
if both sides are willing to be
reasonable, is the essence of
education.
I would like to thank Ms. Harp
for her letter of concern, and I
hope that she will take time to get
together with me so that I might
bet t e r understand her way of
thinking.

Dear Editor:
I do appreciate the time and
consideration you and the TORCH
staff gave in writing the Feb. 29
article on LCC's Cooperative
Work Experience Program. You
have a fine staff and I enjoyed
meeting all of them.
An error has been pointed
out to me which I believe does
injustice to our Para-Medical
and Para-Dental Programs. I
would like to request a correction concerning paragraph 9 column 1, center fold which states:
"With the exception of the medical field (paramedical and paradental) the CWE Program has
little trouble in finding jobs for
its students.'' The exception
would be these programs do not
have PAID positions during the
training period. Both of these
programs place all of their students as a part of their schooling and have 100% placement after completion of the college program.
Again, thanks for the article.

American mythology
by Mik-el Kelly
"By 1980, Americans will use
an estimated 560 billion gallons
of water a day-more than twice
the rate in 1960. This means
that more and more US water
must be clean enough to use
repeatedly. Pollution , though,
is overwhelming the ability of
many rivers and lakes to purify
themselves. Is the government
doing enough to restore the balance?" (Time Magazine, April
26, 1971)
Let's talk about myths.
William Beals of LCC's own
Social Science Department calls
a myth a "value -impregnated
belief." One of the beliefs we've
impregnated most with our values is that government is somehow basically evil.
Possibly.
But scarier than that-government is basically human. Isn't
that a little closer to the truth?
We expect the elite in our society to behave like we ourselves
have never behaved.
Th-is includes politicians, businessmen, famous personalities,
and the ultra-rich. I can toss
litter out my car window, fill
my garbage can with p 1as tic
wrappers and paper and bottles
and cans, and run my water all
day-but why can't I get any action out of the _government? What
are those crooked politicians doing in Washington?
There are a number of valid
complaints we might voice about
water right here in Lane County.
Bill Bauguess, a student at LCC
has one.
At one ' time Bauguess drilled
wells for a living. It required
that he put in a year of apprenticeship and then take a State
Examination in Salem. "One
thing people don't realize," he
stated, "is how much water is
under the ground.''
In Bauguess' opinion, the danger facing our surface streams
is minimal compared with the potential hazards building beneath
our feet. The earth isn't just
some giant sponge, ready to sop
up all the wastes we want to pour
into it. "For instance, in Bend
~hey'd been dumping all their
waste into a big hole just out- .
5ide of town for years. Then
me day the hole filled up, and
:hey didn't know what to do."
Sooner or later, the water we
pump out of the ground and the
crud we pour into it have to
meet.
Said Bauguess, "When
I began to get concerned and
tried to find out what the county
was doing about this, I discovered that no one was doing anything. They don't even have a
map of the underground waters
in the county."
That's one complaint, but we
don't all have the knowledge or
the experience to know what to
complain about.
Content to complain about what
someone else is doing about water
quality, we seldom consider just
what we, ourselves, are doing.
We use as much as 30 gallons every time we wash dishes.
Our leaky faucet can spit out 25
gallons a day, and our toilet is
capable of drinking six gallons
per flush. This involves you and
me-not business and bureaucracies.
We expect the government to
mind its own business.
We expect the government to '
be active.
We expect it to look out for
our own interests.
We expect it to do a lot r~
things.
We can really blame no one
but ourselves.
We don't pay
enough attention to what the people in power are doing anyway.
We accuse the government of
misconduct once in a while-as
long as we're the ones being
stepped on.
Any other time,
we let it slide.
America reeks with apathy,
inconsistencies and double standards, but we don't want to see
any of this on Capitol Hill. Too
frequently, our principles go
whoring; without the myths, we'd
be forced to face the truth.
It makes you wonder what we
do want.

Waste ·r ecycling limi·ted at LCC
The possibilities for recycling
waste at LCC are limited, and
most of the campus's garbage is
hauled away.
Dear Doctor.
I have some black spots on
the sole of my right foot that are
extremely painful to step on. One
of the gals in my gym class
says they must be Planter's
warts. What do I do about them?
"Hopping"
Dear '' Hoppy'':
Planter's may have had a lot
to do with punch and peanuts,
but little with warts. The term in
this case is plantar, referring
•to the sole of the foot. Planfar
warts are the same as other
warts but are located on the plantar surface (or sole) of the foot.
Because one walks on the warts,
they get pushed in instead of
growing outwardly as warts on
other body surfaces do. They then
become as irritating and painful
as any other foreign body such as
a small rock might be if you
walked on it all the time. Occasionally medicated co r nplaster discs applied to the warts
for 3 to 5 days, and then removed after soaking your foot
in hot water for a time, will
enable you to peel out the wart.
If this treatment does not work,
an appointment with a physician is
indicated. Sur g i ca I excision,
ultra-sound, or X-ray are sometimes needed to solve the problem.
Dear Dr.
Help! My bikini must have

Hou sing survey
planned for LCC
Starting next week, seven marketing students from LCC's Business Department will be conducting a housing survey on campus.
The survey is part of an effort
by private land developers to determine the extent of an LCC
housing market.
The survey was authorized by
the head of the college's Office of
Institutional Research and Planning, Marston Morgan. Morgan
pointed out that while a private
party is paying for the survey,
the college will have access to
the information and be better
able to make recommendations on
student housing needs.
The marketing students will
conduct the survey by making
personal contact with students in
informal areas on campus such as
the cafeteria and lounge areas.

trol. We are what we eat. What
we eat is computed in units cal led calories. To feel well, look
well, and perform well, one
should always eat a diet that contains some protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Milk products, green
and yellow vegetables, meats, assorted fruits (some citrus), and a
variety of cereal products supply these. Health weight loss occurs when one eats less calories

According to William Cox, the
main reason is the cost. Cox
told the TDRCH that the only
recycling undertaken at Lane is
with cardboard wastes.
"There is a shredding machine
located out in the loading dock
at the first floor level behind
the Center Building,'' he said.
"In this we put our cardboard
wastes which are shredded and
put in plastic bags. These in
turn are sold to a company which
makes paper pulp out of it. They
pay us for the shredded cardboard
but this barely pays for the plastic bags." Waste paper is not
shredded, however.
Cox stated that LCC doesn't
recycle such items as glass because, "We have very little or
no glass in the trash at LCC.
Most trash is in the form of
plastic or paper."

He also said, "It would cost
us many times more than the
way we do it now, labor-wise,
to separate trash into its various groups-the only way most
outfits which handle this sort
of thing will accept it."
Therefore, much of Lane's garbage is hauled away. "As a result of bids submitted to us, we
have a contract with . . . Crest
Garbage Service . • . (they)
pick-up seven containers of(rash
per day, between six and seven
in the morning (which are hauled)
to Eugene's sanitary land fill.''
Cox added another reason for
not recycling, ''The Food Service's garbage is quite dirty. I
don't particularly think we could
get many volunteers to separate
this sort of thing."

Mohawk River study shows
quality of local water failing
by Mik·el Kelly
,....
It's almost impossible to run into anybody these days who doesn't have their
own pet theory about water pollution. We all do. We can, if called upon, spout
a pungent line of philosophy, drop a couple of names, accuse the Republicans of
corruption, and then move on to the next topic.
It's all quite simple, nothing hard to understand.
Actually that's true, but most of us understand very little about pollution.
At LCC there is one vivid exception to this: biology students, under the instruc-tion of Jay Marston, get a first-hand look at water pollution. In fact, they do more
than look; they conduct a study of the local water situation.
General Biology students now undergo a classroom ritual of examining the
Mohawk River, a tributary of the McKenzie. The study is conducted twice a year,
once during the regular school year, and again in a condensed summer session.
The actual study consists of conducting tests in two locations. The first sitestudied (Site 1) is at Mill Creek, several miles above the town of Marcola, at the
Mill Creek campground. The second location (Site 2) is well below Marcola, and
not far from the mouth of the Mohawk River. Numerous homes and farms, and the
town itself, separate the two test sites. The findings are then compared and analyzed
to illustrate the effects of people on water quality.
The study is designed to find out three things: what kinds of chemicals exist
in both locations; how does the animal life of the two sites compare; and what are
the differences in amounts of bacteria?
All three categories have indicated differences, and at the very least, suggest
possible conclusions.
Chemically, the class compares nitrates, nitrites, phosphates and detergents.
In the two studies already completed, marked differences have appeared between
the upper and lower locations. Nitrates were found to be almost double, both summer
and fall, in the lower area. Nitrites showed the same variation. But just what are
these two unknowns that try to be so meaningful?
Nitrates and nitrites are the natural products in the process of decay. Normally
a necessary link in the natural cycles of life, they can be produced in excess by
man, through sewage and fertilizers. This excess can artificially fertilize a river's
plantlife and result in unnatural blooms of this algae. If plants grow to an over abundance, they can lower the oxygen content of a stream, and ultimately endanger fish
that need the oxygen to breathe.
In addition to the class study, Marston sent water samples from four locations
on the river to the Federal Water Laboratory in Corvallis. The lab's findings
verified those of the class, and, in fact, pinpointed the source of nitrites as being
from the town of Marcola do-Nnstream.
Detergents, while showing no real difference between sites in the summer
study, jumped four times as much in Site 2 during the fall. However, Marston pointed out, this variation could depend largely on the time of day the test was done.
and provides no significant conclusion.
The amount of phosphates doubled in the lower site bo~h summer and fall;
and this illustrates another effect of man on the stream. The chemical differences
between the two sites clearly indicates human wastes in the water-probably due to
failing septic tanks.
The second major area of investigation by the class was an invertebrate bottom sample. This is simply a count of the small animals on the stream bottom, including such . creatures as snails, caddis flies, mayflies and water bugs. It's done
by scraping each rock on the floor of the stream into a fine net. A specific area is
measured for the sample in order to provide at least a semblance of accuracy
between the two different locations.
A formula is used to compute a Species Diversity Index which indicates the
comparative animal balance betw~en the two sites. This is an arbitrary number, but
it points out just how many different species are surviving in each lo~ation. Tr1e
more diverse the number of species is, the stronger the eco-system is. A higher
Diversity Index means that each species has a better chance of surviving, since
there are more links in the food chain, in short, just more types of animals the
eco-system can afford to lose without breaking down.
Site 2 showed a lower Species Diversity Index: In the summer, Site 1 index
was 6.5, a relatively high account of varying animal life; at Site 2, however, the
Species Diversity Index was 3.9, indicating a much weaker system, and one much
more subject to unbalance. fn the fall study, the indexes were only slightly different,
owing probably to more water in the stream and less irrigation both of which have
a direct effect on the oxygen level, a necessary element for the suppor~ of animal life.
Oxygen is a crucial part of a stream's content. The summer study showed
the water temperature to be, understandably, eight degrees higher. A higher temperature means less oxygen can be dissolved in the water, and usually leads to a
higher concentration of pollutants.
Si.te 2 also showed a lower abundance of pollution-sensitive organisms.
These organisms are such critters as caddis flies and mayflies, which are sensitive to changes in the environment, and are normally the first to go when an ecosystem is jeopardized.
Marston also asked, when he submitted water samples to the Federal Water
Lab in Corvallis, for a check on the existence of metals. Knowing how much lead,
zi nc, cadmium and mercury is in the river could help narrow down any potential
problem areas in determining just what is causing such a difference between the
two locations.
Only a slight increase was discovered in most metals, but of glaring importance
was the dramatic climb in mercury in the lower sites. M13rcury content in the water
more than tripled between Marcola and the lower sample sites. This indicated that
the mercury was not coming from the town of Marcola, but from a source further
down the river. Marston explained the increase by pointing out the number of dairy
farms on lower elevations in the Valley. He speculated that these farms could,
through use of pesticides and fungicides, possibly cause the increase in mercury
in the water.
The dairy farms were also cited as possible contributors to the double amounts
of organic carbon in lower areas. Organic carbon, Marston stated, can be directly
equated to sewage and cattle waste.
Finally, the class's study dealt with te~ts for the existence of coliform bacteria. These bacteria are important in that they illustrate whether or not fecal
wastes (animal and human) are finding their way into the water. There were no
coliforms found at Site 1, but were, in fact, detected at the Site 2.
The class study shows plainly one thing: man's effect on the river is more
than incidental. Site 1 is well above the area's homes and businesses. On the other
hand, Site 2 is ideal for indicating just what the existence of peOPle is doing to the
stream; between the two locations are homes, a town, and several farms.
Every facet of the comparison points to the same thing-with their garbage,
cattle and faulty septic tanks, people are endangering the life of the, river.

The problems of water quality vary a great deal across th&
country. Southern California doesn't know where to g&t its
water. The people of New York City don't know what to do with
the stuff when they're done with it. Each city's headache is a
conglomeration of water supply and demand, geography, density
of people, industry, community concern and fisi:!al responsibility.

'' An evaluation of the County as a whole at that time
indicated that the majority of the growth was in the EugeneSpringfield metropolitan area. It was growing very rapidly
without the benefit of sewers.
"We had a large area east of Springfield that grew very
fast after World War II- no septic tanks and not much consideration for suitability of soils and drainage. I recall
one subdivision where 95 per cent of the septic tanks were
failing. They were pouring raw waste into the ditches which
flowed partly into the McKenzie River right above EWEB's
water suppl~nd some through Springfield, through the large
Willamelane Park, through four schoolyards, draining clear
on through and into the Willakenzie area. And at that time
they were pumping water out of it in the summertime for
the irrigation of the park. It was a tremendous health
problem for all of the metropolitan area."
This speedy and thoughtless growth forced the county to
set priorities in order to gain on the snowballing water problems in the Eugene-Springfield area. East Springfield became
priority number one, followed by the blooming Willakenzie
and Bethel-Danebo areas. With considerable arm-twisting, legal
action, and a staunch building permit program, the county
achieved a relatively clean metropolitan community.
"We have a lot of problems to finish up yet," said
Stoner. "Through the denial of permits (in bad areas), and
not letting them grow any bigger, and through abatement
proceedings and condemnation of places, progress can be
made."
He explained that much of the trouble in handling the Springfield crisis was dealing with rental units. "Ifthey have sewage
going out on the ground, we tell them, 'this is your sewage.
The law holds you responsible, even though you're renting.
The best way to solve the problem is to pack your goodi~s
and go somewhere else."'
The Building and Sanitation Department became, in effect,
a small police force, haggling with each polluter on an individual basis. People resented this encroachment, and responded
with cries of rights and freedom, despite their disregard for
the rights of their neighbors.
Stoner has been, at times, the local vill~in. Fighting water
pollution is a great cause until it gets too close to home.
'' Many people in that area had petitions signed and presented
to the Board of County Commissioners to have me removed
from my job because I was giving the area a 'black eye."'
As one of the most informed members of the community
where water is concerned, Stoner is impelled to get results
long before the bandwagon ever gets rolling. This seldom helps
his popularity. "It's a matter of applying pressure within the
community-showing the community what it looks like. I feel
that it's everybody's business when there's a sewage disposal
problem in an area, because this affects you."

ficially fertilize a river's plantlife and result in
lgae.
With the crisis in East Springfield, the city had an outbreak of infectious hepatitus. This affected everyone in the
Eugene-Springfield area, or it could have. It illustratesjust how
out of focus the question of rights can get.
It's the business of the Building and Sanitation Department
to keep track of the whole county's water situation. The Department is concerned with all waste disposal, whether by industry
or private homes, and for maintaining safe levels of the pollution that reaches our waterways.
"We do not want a number of individual sewage treatment systems scattered throughout the community," said
Stoner. "This makes policing that much harder. Let's take
it all to one central point, treat it, and dispose of it there."
He pointed to the River Road area as an example. The
people in the area rely on the earth to soak up their wastes,
but the density of population is too high. ''Ground disposal
was never intended to serve 20,000 people in that p~rticular
size of area. But we've grown into it without even realizing
what we've done. The people refused, up until recently, to do
anything about it as i'ar as putting in a publlc collection system."
The same thing goes for water supplies. Trailer courts
and subdivisions insist that they be allowed to pump ground
water and treat it individually. This sounds innocent enough,
but that water would come out of the same ground that is absorbing everybody's sewage.
"We'd be ending up with a proliferation of individual
water treatment systems. We don't want them any more than
we want a number of individual sewage treatment plants,
when it can be served better by one."
Stoner's solution is simpie enough: "If nothing is planned
for an area to give relief when it would be necessary, then
the area should not be subjecting itself to such an intensity
of development."
When asked what his Department's most recent problems
are, Stoner replied, "The outlying communities of Marcola,
Mapleton, the area north of Florence, Vaughn-where International Paper is-they're all in trouble."
He singled out Marcola as an illustration. "In the Marcola area we've got many sewage systems that are failing
and running directly into the Mohawk River. The logical question that you would ask is 'why are you not making these people
comply?' There are several reasons. One, there's not sufficient land available on individual properties, even if soils
were suitable for absorption, to make a correction. The waste
disposal thing has become a community problem, rather than an
individual one. Therefore, it has to be solved on a community
basis. But then we look at the financial structure of the community as a whole, and we see that we have a lot of welfare
people there, a lot of retired people-a very low potential for
bonds of indebtedness to get sewage treatment facilities in,
which could solve the problem."
When people won't or can't take care of their problems,
the only alternative is to ask the federal government for assistance. Often, these outlying areas have consequences reaching
far from their own individual surroundings. They can create a
health hazard to neighboring communities, not to mention
to themselves.
In regard to industrial wastes ·that enter the rivers in
Lane County, Stoner said that while all companies presently
are meeting required standards, the standards themselves need
constant revision. "The standards are adequate for our present
point in time. But 20 years from now, present water quality
standards might be, but the discharge standards won't. These
standards are going to have to be upgraded in order to reduce
what is going into the stream."
These standards merely set a requirement for how much
pollution is allowed to be dumped into waterways; As more and
more businesses and homes spring up and expect the same.
stream to carry away their waste, old standards become out ..
dated. More and more crud gets into the water.
The discharge standard set for the McKenzie River is .
5-5. This means five parts per million of Biological Oxygen
Demand (BOD), and five parts per million of suspended solids
can enter the river. "Right now," said Stoner, "the McKenzie
River isn't this good in itself. So we're asking for better material- to be discharged in, than what the stream actually is.
The reason we put such a high standard on it is to be able to
protect that stream. It's the source of drinking water for the
city of Eugene."
"The discharge standards for the Willamette are something like 20-20, which isn't acceptable," he added. "Corvallis takes water from the Willamette and uses it for drinking
water after treatment. We could do it here if we wanted to,
but we have the McKenzie available. It's a better source;
it takes less treatment, and we end up with a better product."
In the thirties, there were two runs of salmon on the
Willamette, spring and fall. The fall run was lost entirely
which amounted to around two million dollars a year for the
state. at that time, there were no treatment plants on the
river, so the State Sanitary Authority was formed and faced
with the task of cleaning up the Willamette. Eugene, Salem,
Albany, Corvallis, and every other city on the river had been
throwing all its waste in raw.
The first step was to establish primary treatment-removal of the solids and chlorination of the effluent. Then secondary treatment was required. More solids were removed, and
the effluent was re-circulated and put through filters.
Today the need for tertiary treatment is growing steadily. "Tertiary· just means extended treatment," said Stoner.
"Technically, it should mean removal of all the nutrients from
the wate r-<lissol ved nitrates and phosphates that go right through
both types of treatment. It'll take getting these out, in order to
reduce the BOD. TheY:re called nutrients inasmuch as they're
growth stimulants to algae in the stream."
hfter 19 years with the county, John Stoner is still optimistic. Of crucial importance to him is the necessity for constructive vision, a plan. We can count on new water problems
arising in the future. In many cases, we can almost predict
what these problems will be; we can count on an ever-increasing population burden.
"I think Eugene Skinner, who founded this town, had probably a pretty good plan when he laid it out a hundred years or
so ago," said Stoner. "But his plan has been changed basically
a thousand and one times from what he originally thought. Where
there hasn't been planning, this is where we get caught short.
Poor planning, no planning, many years ago ended up resulting in problems like River Road, East Springfield and
Marcola."

hot shooter
the first six and a half minutes
of play Lane was unable to get
the offensive rebounds and the
fast break baskets that they had
depended upon all season. So the
Titans went to their most potent
offensive weapon: six foot Greg
Taylor. Taylor shook loose the
tight man-to-man defense thrown
up by Umpqua, and gunned in
shot after shot from the 20 to
25 foot range.
LCC played a zone defense
in the early minutes in an attempt
to stop the inside scoring of six
foot four inch Timb~rman center Mike Williams. With eight
minutes left in the first half
Lane's Steve Woodruff was called for a foul and Umpqua tool<
a two point lead; 18 to 16. About a
minute later Taylor was whistled
for his second personal foul on a
rebound.
Before Umpqua pushed its advantage however, the Titan front
line of Terry Manthey, Randy
Burdick, and Dave Gibson got
hot. Burdick put in a couple of
baseline shots and LCC grabbed
the lead with 3:40 left. Williams
answered with a rebound bucket a minute later to tie the score
at 33. After a basket by Pyles,
Randy Burdick swished a ten
footer with 49 seconds. The Timberman took a 37 to 35 lead with
less than 20 second left, but
Greg Taylor arched in a 28 footer to tie the score with one ,
second on the clock. The halftime score read: Lane 37, and
Umpqua 37.
Taylor made 9 of 14 shots from
the field in the first half, but
more important, Lane hit only one
of eight from the free throw
line in the first 20 minutes.
The second half began just as
furious as the first half. With
14: 55 left ump qua shoved in a
rebound basket and took a 51-4 7
lead.
LCC suddenly ended their own
rally with two consecutive turnovers, giving Umpqua a twopoi~t
lead 30 seconds later. Then, m

a period of 17 seconds, Taylor
was fouled, hit both shots and
put in a rebound to give Lane a
lead by a basket. Umpqua's front
line went to work and dropped
in three straight cripple shots
for a 73 to 69 lead.
Lane gained possession of the
ball on an offensive foul by UCC
with the clock reading 1:44. TayIor then missed a 15 foot jumper,
20 seconds later.
With the score tied at 77 to
77 Umpqua called timeout and
went into a semi-stall, goingfor
a good percentage shot.
Lane inbounded the ball with
32 seconds left and Dave Gibson was fouled on the pass. Dave
went to the line shooting one
shot and the bonus, a chance to
put Lane ahead. He missed the
first shot and the rebound was
tied up for a jumpball by Terry
Manthey.
Umpqua got possession and
Jamie Pyles took a shot that
rolled around the rim five times
and dropped in with nine seconds to go in the game. The
basket counted and Woodruff was
called for a foul, Pyles hit the
free throw and Umpqua had an
80 to 77 lead with seconds left.
Woodruff sank a layup with five
seconds left and UCC let the clock
run out. The final score: Umpqua Community College 80, Lane
79.
Greg Taylor led the scoring
with 33 points on 13 of 20 shots
from the field and seven of ten
from the freethrow line. Randy
Burdick scored 13 points and collected six rebounds, the best
job on the boards however, was
done by Terry Manthey. Manthey had 11 caroms and 13 points.
Thursday night's consolation
game against the Central Oregon Community College Bobcats
finally saw LCC's forwards and
centers come to life. In the first
nine minutes of the first half
the front line scored 15 of Lane's
17 points, most of those on short
jump shots from the key.
Lane's center Terry Manthey
went to work halfway through the
first half and hit a freethrow,
a 21 footer, and a rebound tipin. Alex Iwaniw sank a freethrow
and Lane grabbed the lead 23
to 22. Manthey got hot and 34
seconds .later, flicking in a five
foot jumper, was foaled; he canned the charity toss and Alex

.Iwaniw joined the act with a 22

Iwaniw who was fouled on the
shot f;iled to hit the freethrow
but Manthey scooped up the rebound, went back with it, and was
f o u 1ed. Manthey missed both
shots but Lane led 28 to 22,
with 7:08 left in the half.
The Bobcats retaliated with
two buckets of their own to close
the gap to 28-26. Iwaniw, who was
whistled for his third foul moments earlier picked up a rebound under the basket and stuffed it back in: the score read
LCC 30, COCC 26. Iwaniw never
let up and seconds later rebounded his own shot and whipped in
a basket from the foul line. Greg
Taylor followed with an arching
18 footer and a fast break layup
after a Jeff Beck steal. The Titans led by 10.
The second half of play began
on the same note, Dave Gibson
put in a scoop shot and Greg
Taylor ripped the cords with another 20 foot jumper. Bobcats
Mike Cashman and Andrew
Carter sandwiched baskets
between Greg Taylor and Terry
Manthey jump shots and Perry
Roper's hanging drives, the score
moved to 60 to 44 withl6 minutes
to go.
Mike Cashman tried to bring
COCC back with a couple of

some bank shots. Cashman missect two freethrows and Andrew
Carter hit a 20 footer and a
layup to close the gap to 72 to

Alex Iwaniw, Randy Burdick
and Greg Taylor scored four unanswered baskets to put the game
on ice for the Titans. Coach Irv
Roth shuffeld in the reserves and
Lane finished with a three point
play by Perry -Roper. The final
score was 96 to 76 and Lane
had it's third place trophy.
Terry Manthey turned in a
great job for LCC, scoring 22
points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
Perry Roper came off the bench
to can 11 points on his spinning
drives and arching jumpers. Greg
Taylor added 23 points. Greg was
also selected to the All-Conference team, to nobody's surprise. The tournament was eventually won by the SWOCC Lakers

Saturday, March 4, the LCC
Karate team participated in the
Third Annual Karate Championships at Green River Community
College near Auburn, Washington.
Two hundred forty-three contestants from the Pacific Northwest states and Canada participated in the tournament which
was, according to tournament coordinator Steve Armstrong, one
of the biggest and best in the
Pacific Northwest this year-second only to the Seattle Open
Tournament held last fall.
Fourteen members of the LCC
team competed in the tournament,
with team members placing high
in most divisions.
The highest placing member of
the LCC team was Head InstrucBruce Combs, who placed
second in the heavy-weight black
belt division.
Wes Chamberlain, who fought
in the light-weight black belt
division, took third place in his
class.
In Karate competition, part-i cipants continue to compete until
they have lost a match, or until
only two competitors remain in
their division.
John Sevey (green belt), Mike
Fohl (gold belt), and Paul Dueber
(gold belt), competed in the
heavy-weight colored belt contests. Sevey lost in his first
match, with a score of 2 to 3.
Mike Fohl won one match and
lost in his second. Paul Dueber
won three matches and lost his
fourth. He later took fourthplace
in the heavy-weight colore_d belt
division.

statistics impressive
by John Thompson
set the OCJi.A on fire. He leads
Oregon Community College season scoring, and league scoring.
From an LCC sport's release
I quote the following: "Taylor is
easily the highest scorer in the
school's (LCC) history. Willie
Jones (now playing for Linfield)
scored 20 points a game last season for LCC. (Former LCC player) Tom Pardun scored an average of 12 points a game two years
ago. Taylor, in 27 games, scored
an average 26.5 points per game
(718 total), and averaged eight
rebounds a contest. His highest
point output was 38 points in a
game against Central Oregon.,,,
With 26.5 points per game Greg
captured season scoring honors,
and he captured the OCC.AA scoring championship for the recently
concluded season with 435 points
for a 29 point average per game.
In conference play Taylor hit
on 182 field goals in 378 attempts for a .481 shooting per
cent; and for the season he was
300 out of 632 and .475 per cent.
He also picked off 228 rebounds
for the season for an average
of eight per game. Not bad for
a six footer!
* * *
The Titan's basketball star,
Greg Taylor, is simply outstanding. In games with SWOCC and
Linn-Benton (the games had to
be won for the Titans to enter
the playoffs) he scored 29 and
35 points.
His season statistics are certainly impressive.
Greg has been approached by
several four year institutions,
and one of them has been the
University of Texas. He says
his interest ". . is to make
it through school." He is a psychology major.
Ta y I o r was asked by the
TORCH what he attributed his fine
shooting ability to. He stated simply, "practice."
Coach Irv Roth says that in
the last four ball games Taylor
has "been better on defense, a
more complete ball player, and
he's had an excellent season.
What can you say when a guy
has an average of just under 30
points per game for the season?"
concluded Coach Roth.
. Greg is a guard who played
forward at the beginning of the
season. He averaged 14 points
per game last year compared to
his overwhelming 29 points per
game this year.
Jefferson High of Portland is
where Taylor played prep basketball. He said that he started only
about eight games for Jeff.

consistent brand of basketball.
Known as the rebounding ma chine, Manthey's statistics are
Terry Manthey

impressive. He finished third
in conference rebounding with 197
rebounds for a 12.3 average per
game. In conference free throw
shooting he finished with 38 for
52 for a fine . 731, and conference.
scoring statistics show Manthey
to have finished in the top 15
with 242 points; a 15,1 average
per game. By a wide margin,
Manthey leads the team in total
rebounds with 319 for an 11.8
average for all games up to the
time of the tournament in Coos
Bay.
Last season Terry had four injuries, which really k~pt him out
of any meaningful action. Due to
those injuries he started slowly,
at least compared to what he has
been showing lately.
His explanation for becoming
better as the season progresses:
"At the beginning of the season
I was working out on weights.
When you are working out on
weights it throws your game off.
I'm now off weights."
Manthey, indicating that he
wanted to have a final year to
be proud of stated, "I've had a
desire all season to have a big
final year, where we could get
into the playoffs.''
He is having that, and the thing
that amazes me is that he has
not been approached by a four
ye a r college. He said that he
would like to continue playing
basketball, and continue his education.
Terry played prep basketball at
Cottage Grove High School, where
he was the smallest center in the
District Five Conference. He
plays now at only six foot, three
and a half inches.
Manthey says that, when in the
heat of a game, he talks to opposing players. "You try to get
them to lose their poise," said
the rebounding machine.
It was in the Air Force where
he really learned the mechanics
of basketball. Manthey spent four
years with the "boys in blue."

'Yes~ responses to INPUT
Steve Leppanen, a student and
ASLCC senator-at-large, has designed a program called INPUT
which will enable students to
actively participate in designing
their own courses.
If Leppanen' s plan is accepted
by the several committees and
review councils which approve
new course proposals, INPUT
may be a reality by Fall Term
of 1972.
Leppanen explained IN PUT as
"b. program aimed basically at
actively involving students in designing their own courses, giving
college or transfer credit for
students who enroll in those
courses, and for giving students
some avenue through which they
can begin to control their own
education."
In an effort to determine
student and faculty reaction to
the proposed INPUT program
Leppanen sent out over 1,000
questionnaires to students and
over 375 to faculty members.

Andros' secretary placed the

he returned from the meeting.
'Coach who?" asked the Eugene woman.
'' Coach Andros.''
"Would you spell that,

Andros' secretary then put her
hand over the receiver, turned to
Andros and said, ''She wants to

Leppanen says that finances

Bill 144, which "is aimed directly at funneling money into underground education to improve
its quality." INPUT would be
operating on a budget of $31,990
"Which is, educationally," as
Leppanen puts it, "a drop in

The student
questionnaires have been returned but have not yet been
tabulated.
Leppanen said that the INPUT
program is similar to the
SEARCH (Students Exploratory
Actions Regarding Curricular
Heterodoxy) program offered at
the University of Oregon. The
SE.hRCH operation has been in
effect for six years and has been
extremely successful. He stated, "Over 40 courses that originally
started as SEARCH
courses are now instituted into
the curricular at the University."
Leppanen feels that the success
of the SEARCH program should
be an incentive to form such a
plan at LCC.
"I think this
program speaks for itself. I
see no reason why we can't
have a similar program at LCC."
The INPUT plan also provides
for students to teach courses

of (1) a faculty sponser, (2) the

(Dispatch News Service)
Harrisburg, Pa.--Somewhere
in the United States-at a location
known only to the Justice Department--a 31-year-old ex-convict
stands on the brink of becoming
a national figure.
Boyd F. Douglas Jr., the government informer in the Harrisburg conspiracy case, will soon
be testifying at the trial of Fr.
Philip Berrigan and six others
who are charged with concocting
an antiwar plot to kidnap Presidential advisor Henry Kissinger,
bomb government heating tunnels
in Washington, and raid draft
boards and other federal offices
in nine states.
,, Douglas was released from
prison and vanished into federal
custodianship in Dec. 1970, after testifying before a federal
grand jury in Harrisburg. Efforts by defense attorneys and
reporters to find him during the
last 14 months have been unsuccessful.
There are several theories
about how Douglas became an
informer. One currently popular

Douglas start~d out not as an

Douglas' father told a reporter
last year, "He has told so many
lies practically all his life that
l can't believe anything he says."
And defense atto_rney Ter_ry

is a "pathological liar (who) is

will be judged by the Harrisburg
jury and no one else. But one
thing is already certain: he is
going to face a long, grueling
cross-examination that courtroom spectators will not soon
forget.
"He was a very personable
kind of guy, so it was easy for
him to gain your confidence,"
said one person who met Douglas in 1970 and has been named
by the government as a draft
board raider.
When the government produces
Douglas he will take the witness
stand i~ the ninth floor federal
courtroom here and retell his
tale of the complex alleged antiwar conspiracy. The question is:
Will the jury believe him?
The International
Program
Committee will be holding a planning meeting to continue its programs next term. The meeting
will be held in the Concourse

shown in the past term include
"Maple Leaf Identity," "Draft
Evaders: The Crises of Alternatives," and "International Women." Plans will be made to

America and Ireland next term
Any interested persons are wel
come.
Douglas 1 record is hardly that
of an ideal witness. He first went
to prison in 1963 for trying to
cash a bad check at an Army
base in Texas and impersonating
an Army officer in the process.
He was serving another sentence
for passing bad checks and pul-
ling a gun on an FBI agent when
in 1970, he met Fr. Berrigan in
the Lewisburg Pa. federal penitentiary, where Berrigan was
serving a sentence for destroying draft files.
For a federal prisoner, Douglas led a remarkable easy life.
He left the prison daily to attend
classes at nearby Bucknell University on a study-release program. He dated Bucknell coeds.
He drank expensive whiskey and

chain-smoked imported ci~arettes. He even bought a car and,
for a while, kept an apartment
in the town of Lewisburg using
money he received from the government after he was scarred
by a prison medical experiment.
Although Berrigan was a closely watched prisoner in a maximum security prison, he easily
came in contact with Douglasa situation that many Berrigan
supporters now belatedly find
suspicious.
Douglas gained Berrigan's
confidence and soon began smuggling letters between the antiwar priest and his friends outside.
'' He was the link between Phil
and everybody else," rec a 11 s
John Theodore (Ted) Glick, a
co-defendant with Berrigan who
will be tried separately later.
The letters Douglas carried
ended up in the hands of the
FBI, including two letters passed
in August, 1970, that discussed
the possibility of a plot "to
kidnap-in our terminology make
a citizens' arrest of--someone
like Henry Kissinger."
(Editor's note: Monday, March 6
Douglas admitted that he asked
the US Government for reward of
$50,000 for supplying information
that allowed the orosecution of
Berrigan and six ~thers on conspi_racy charges. The reward,
which was to be tax-free, was
turned down. Douglas said he has
already received $1,500 plus $200
expense money for his information.)

A Fresno County cattle rancher
Rodger McAfee, emerged this
week as the man who provided
bail for the release of Angela
Davis. Meli.fee, who owns and operates a 1700 acre ranch in the
he av i I y conservative Central
Va 11 e y in California, put up
$403,000 in land for Ms. Davis'
bail a year ago. Now he finds,
because of his publicity that he
has had to send his wife and children away. The children have
been turned away from the school
they wer attending, and threatening phone calls have been received. McAfee said '' it was a
matter of duty, a matter of justice, and a matter of humanitarianism . . . to a fellow Communist."

In Miami, Florida,
United
Farm Workers Union chief Cesar
Chavez announced the signing of a
three-year break-through con
tract covering 1200 fruit pickers
in the Coca-Cola Company's Minute Maid orange groves - - the
first union contract for farm workers ever signed in the Southeast.

In New York, the Tax Foundation, a private research organization reported that taxes would
reach a record average of $4530
per American household in the
fiscal year ending this June 20up 6.5 per cent from a year ago,
and 77 .5 per cent from $2552 in
1962.

President Salvador Allende,
the leftist leader of Chile, announced that that nation would not pay
$171 million owed· to Anaconda,
a copper company in the US for
the nationalizing of two copper
mines. After the election of the
Marxist President, it was decided by that government to nationalize several large Americanowned businesses.

In London, British miners voted overwhelmingly to return to
work after their seven-week
strike and accept a pay raise of
up to $15 a week, but blackouts
in homes were expected to continue until depleted stockpiles
of coal were replenished.

The British government announced the ending of harsh interrogation methods against political detainees in Northern Ireland, pending official complaints
of mistreatment of political prisoners which is underway. Such
practices as the use of black
hoods, subjecting detainees to
harsh noise, putting prisoners on
a bread and water diet, and making prisoners stand for hours
with legs apart and hands raised
against the wall. Prime Minister
Heath, who made the decision,
said that" interrogation in depth"
would continue. The decision was
viewed as a political decision
aimed at showing a sense of
fairness, in England's dealings
with the Irish Civil War.

After four months of silence,
the Selective Service has begun
calling up 15,000 draftees to cover quotas for the next three
months of April, May and June.
5000 men each month would be
called to serve according to Defense Secretary Melvin Laird.

The British Foreign Office has
revealed that the British government is protesting thS sentencing
in Turkey of a 14-year old British schoolboy, Timothy Davey,
for charges of conspiring to steal
57 pounds of hashish. Davey was
given six years and three months
for the conviction. Various papers in Britain have editorialized
condemning the decision in Turkey as "medieval." Davey was
also fined more than $10,000.

The "Equal Rights Amendment" guaranteeing women equal
rights in all are as, including
those of being subject to military draft and combat duty, has
been passed by the Senate Juciciary Committee, by a 14-1 vote.
There will be "a significant
battle" to obtain Senate passage
of the bill, according to Senator
Birch Bayh (D., Ind.).
The House of Representatives
passed the equal rights amendment last year, after it's having
died in the Senate the year before that.
The Judiciary Committee countered efforts by Senators Sam •
Ervin and Strom Thurmond to
add provisions strongly opposed
by women's rights groups. These
add-ons included the allowance of
the legal six distinctions based
on physiological differences; the
barring of women from the draft
and combat; and so-called "protective" labor laws for women.
The Amendment's supporters
stated that they expect these
same proposals to be offered
again on the Senate floor, and in
~~dition predicted an attempt to
attach an antibussing rider.
l3ayh stated that the Judiciary
Committee approved three identical bills, to gain "flexibility"
in warding off these attacks.

Eugene, Ro$eburg, Eagle Point
and Brookings, four population
centers of Oregon's Fourth Congressional District, in which Rep.
John Dellenback is up for re-election, are probable recipients of
''mini-grants" amounting to
some $2,22 per city.
The grants are to be used in
sending an interdisciplinary team
(educators, law enforcement personel, etc.) from each city to
San Francisco for a two-week
HEW training course in drug
abuse.
