meets

to cut budget
The inevitable "tightening of
the bell" of the LCC budget,
especially in the face of expected
budget defeats by the county voters, began last night ~t a meeting of the Priorities Review Committee (PRC) in the Board Room
of the Administration Building.
President Eldon Shaefer, who
organized the committee, expects
PRC to look at all phases of
ex.penditf,lres and services of the
coliege and to come up with ~commendations which will allow
the campus to function both efficiently and economically.
The first and most immediate
topic for the committee was the
QUestion of whether or not there
should be a summer school for
the 1972 session. Discussion centered around the value that summer school holds in the life of a
student. While it was pointed out
that students usually work during
the summer months, and therfore
are less like to attend school,
that fact was countered by the
esseatial service summer school
offers in allowing basic required
courses to be dispend
courses to be dispensed with
early in a high school graduates'
life. A decision was reached to
take an overall look at all summer term departments and examine its benefit to the student
and its cost to the college. The
committee agreed to encourage
higher summer enrollment, and
thereby increase the Full Time
Equivalent (FTE) students. This
would increase the revenue the
college receives in funds. The
1971 FTE enrollment for summer session was 333. The committee recommended that this be
increased to 400.
The members of the committee took notice of the fact that
little if any promotional activities have gone on in pushing the
summer school offerings of the
college. They felt that the best
promotion so far has been pamphlets sitting in high school counselors' offices.
With better promotion of the
LCC summer term program, the
committee felt that the desired
student
enrollment increase
student enrollment increase
could be realized.
Consensus of the committee
was to take a look at all summer
school departments aud analyze
their effectiveness, their extent
of service to students, and whether they break even or not. If
the summer program is able to
break even, overall, then the program is justified.
Toe committee went into "executive session" because of the
sensitive nature of the discussion at this point. The committee
felt that premature knowledge of
such discussion would hamper the
task of the committee in its evaluation.
After a discussion of this sensitive area the committee came
out of executive session and mad~
some recommendations of its

Board approves tuition increase
Wednesday, March 22, the LCC
Board of Education approved a
12.5 per cent tuition increase.
The annual increase will be $30
for in-district students, and $60 , for out-of-district.
Adult Education tuition was
$12 per term for each 10 week
course and has now been raised
to $14.
The Board decided to let out- 1
of-state and foreign students continue to pay the current rates
:µid not be subjected to an increase.
The tuition increases are expected to add $165,213 to the
college funds.
Voiced opposition came from •
Student Body President Omar •
Barbarossa, who attended the •
meeting in an effort to g~t The

Board ·to agree on letting students have the right to bargain
on their behalf concerning any
increases in tuition.

Wendy Mink, daughter of Hawaiian U.S. Representative Patsy
Mink, was in Eugene speaking
with supporters, during a statetrip gathering momentum for her
mother's presidential campaign.

running her heaviest campaign

Barbarrassa explained that the
students contribute 23 per cent
•of the money to operate the school
and have little power in making
their needs known. ••Sixty_.per

LCC's helicop ter arrives

Student Senate
The ASL CC Student Senate met
Thursday, March 9, in a long,
confusing session. After filling
two empty . Senate seats, and allocating $1,000 for the Emergency Dental Aid Program_,Steve
Leppanen challenged the quorum.
After some parliamentary confusion on the part of AsLCC President Omar Barbarossa, it was
decided that there was in fact,
no quorum and the meeting was
recessed until March 14.
There is no quorum when there
is less then 51 per cent of the
Senate: representation present at
a Student Senate meeting.
The meeting reconvened on
March 14, Steve Leppanen withdrew his challenge of the quorum
after the Senate had discussed
the importance of accomplishment in lieu of following the rules
strictly.
Jack Hart moved to declare the
Senate meeting an emergency
meeting, and the motion was carried. (The March 14 Senate meeting will have to be ratified at the
next Student Senate meeting in

which there is a quorum.)
Hart then made a motion to
reconsider the Emergency Dental
Aid Program. John Loeber explained to the Senate that the
Dental Program is open to all
LCC students on a need, and
first-come first-served basis.
Loeber also mentioned that the
program needed immediate funds
if it is to continue. The Student
Senate then voted t o give the
$1000 to Financial Aids to support the Dental Program.
The Senate seats that had been
filled by Lorraine Francis as
Senator-at-Large, and Jim Lovell as Social Science Senator at
the March 9 Senate meeting were
not subjected to a re-vote on
March 14.
The senate went on to allot
$1,789 to have "The Cage," a
revolutionary t he at r e group,
come to LCC April 1.
The Senate also approved having a 3 day jazz festival on campus May 12, 13, and 14. This
would be put on by a group of
people in the community, including some LCC students.

A Hiller OH23-C Helicopter
was delivered to the LCC AirFrames hanger on Friday, March
10, initiating a new program in
helicopter mechanics and maintenance.
The three-man whirlybird was
acquired through the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare
which handled the extensive
paperwork and located the helicopter.
According t o Me l Gaskill,
head of the Mechanics Department, "The helicopter is for the
use of students in the Airframes
and Aviation Maintenance Technician program." He said the
copter would be used to train
students in "assembly and rigging, engine runnup and check

out, rotor-blade installation, inspection and tracking, inspection
training, servicing, and all around maintenance training."
Even though the helicoper is
16 years old Gaskill said it is in
very good running order and could
be flown. :When asked why it could
not be used to train helicopter
pilots, Gaskill replied, "It would
cost $40 to $50 an hour to keep
it up to specifications . . .
many parts would have to be replaced periodically in order to
safely and legally fly it," he
said. Unlike planes, helicopters
must have rotors and other parts
replaced more frequently. The
engine, however, will be running
quite often for mechanics' training.

"Newscene" ignores tuition increase
"Newscene" shows signs of being an asset to LCC.
The community and students can be filled-in to what is making
news right here at LCC on the home TV by tuning-in to "Newscene,"
which is broadcast twice weekly.
On Saturday, March 18, the ~Newscene' broadcast was the usual,
somewhat nostalgic show; yet a good image.
It was interesting to see that nothing was mentioned of Student
Body President Omar Barbarosa's news release. which was released two days prior to the show. (See story Page One.)
Barbarossa stated that he was disturbed with the 12 per cent
increase in tuition and would do all in his power to stop it.
This small oversight on the part of "Newscene" to report the
news may be due to the fact that ••Newscene'' is produced by an
instructor, and not by students.
There is an irony in the news that the Board last week voted
to retain $62,050 in curriculum development funds to be used to
encourage "innovative teaching methods that increaseproductivity."
Perhaps if students are given more share in making decisions
as to what innovative teaching methods are, as well as the validity
of some cases of faculty in student projects, such glaring oversights will not occur.

Gas station platform embraced

On Thursday, March 9, the Student Senate voted on and approved
a new senator. His platform was that he would form a gas station on
the LCC grounds.
The would-be senator went on to explain his intricate plan of
setting up this gas station. In the end he admitted that after checking
the ground plans at LCC a gas station could in fact not be opened.
This was his platform and as he already stated, it had failed.
His opponent, another -man, ran on the platform of dealing
with the pollution problems at LCC. He mentioned investigating
the amount of paper that LCC wastes, and the possibilities of recycling· this paper. He talked of dealing with the traffic problems and
pollution.
As it turned out the Senate apprcived favorably the candidate
with the gas station plan; regardless of whether it could be accomplished or not.
This image seems to support the old myth that there is a gas
station, or will be, on every corner.

Closed to students, not to staff.
During finals week last term students who wished to use the
facilities in the Physical Education Department were forced to bring
their own gear, towels, gym suits, and equipment. The cage in the
PE Department where these items are issued was to be closed.
It was closed to students, but not to the staff. Faculty members
were al-)le to check out clothes and equipment through locked doors.
There should be a reordering of priorities on the point. The
student is being completely overlooked in this matter. It should
be emphasized that the Student Senate allotted $17,000 to the PE
Department for the 1971-72 school year. This was not $17,000 from
a faculty organization.

Lindsay took over the frontrunner spot oy defeating the previous front-runner, Senator Vance Hartke, in the New York
primary last week. Lindsay garnered 16.1 per cent of the total
vote to Hartke's 15.9.
Experts credited Lindsay's
smashing triumph there to the
appeal of his campaign slogan:
"Think of the job Lindsay's done
as Mayor and let's send him to
Washington!"
The Campaign he re in Arkansas, which was covered by
three reporters and the editor
o f Psychology Today, offered
several dramatic moments.
Perhaps the most dramatic was
when Senator Muskie, who used
to be the front-runner before
New Hampshire last winter, consumed eighteen cheese blintzes
in 32 seconds at the only kaffeeklatsch held in his honor.
It was assumed that Muskie
had thus sewn up the Arkansas
Jewish vote. But after consuming
the 18th he immediately collapsed
to the floor, holding his stomach
in pain. With tears in his eyes,
he explained to his outraged hostess:
"Honest. it wasn'tthe blintzes.
It wasn't the blintzes. It was
the fact I hadn't eaten for three
days."
Most experts felt Hubert Humphrey, who was briefly the frontrunner after the Florida primary!

would win here due to the brilliance of his radical new campaign strategy: Thanks to acute
laryngitis, he wasn't able to say
a word.
Unfortunately, the voters said
what they've been saying a 11
spring: "Humphrey and Nixon?
Again?''

***
The returns were announced
this evening over the three networks during a station break,
which gave weary viewers an
opportunity to go make a sandwich. They showed that each of
the candidates had received 217
votes.
The returns were followed by
a special hour-long program paid
for by "The Citizens for Teddy
Kennedy Doing Whatever He
Wants to Do."
In an emotional speech, Senator
Kennedy paid glowing tribute to
"the glorious American system
of Presidential primaries which
so adequately tests the courage
and resources of the aspirants."
In closing, he said he wouldn't
run for President - "unless,"
• he added, •'none of the other
candidates have the strength or
funds to get to the Convention."
The experts immediately began
speculating on who was still fit
enough to be n1s runnmg mate.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
The topic of my letter is the
lack of shelves and coat racks
in certain women's and men's
restrooms on the LCC campus.
Let me use as an example, the
men's restroom in the cafeteria.
This restroom has the most
"traffic" during lunch hours yet
lacks provisions for c o at s or
books. This is very awkward and
usually results in balancing one,' s •
books in a precarious position or
putting them on the floor. The
same is true for coats.
If budgeting is a problem for
this project, perhaps an appropriate department here could fabricate shelves and coat racks ,
They are simple in design and
construction and the cost of materials shouldn't be too high. If
labor is a problem, I hereby
volunteer my services as an
amateur carpenter.
Couldn't something be done?
It's such a hassle yet it's inevitable. We all use them.
Yours truly,
Cliff McHenry .
Dear Editor:
Here at Lane we have parking
spaces for visitors only. I feel
that we worry or think more about
our visitors having a parking
place than regular students. The

visitor has the right to park
where he wishes. I believe that
first come first to a good parking
spot, same goes for the visitors.

Arkansas, June 27 ,1972 (cq)The Nation's 22d and last Presidential primary was held here
today.
•
Sixteen of the surviving seventeen De mo c rat i c candiates-their voices, funds and shoe
leather long since gone - managed somehow to reach the State
during the past week in order
to go through the now-familiar
campaign routine.
The current front-runner,
Mayor John Lindsay, arrived in
style. As he tottered off the
Greyhound bus, he honored the
custom all the candidates had
observed since last March and
immediately released a list of
his latest campaign contributor
(cq) - a cousin in Elmira, N. Y.,
who had loaned him at six per
cent interest the $43.92 in bus
fare.
Most hitch-hiked in. The seventeenth, Wilbur Mills, evolved
a bold plan to beat the others
to the scene. But he unfortunately fell off a box car near Chatanooga, Tennessee, and broke a
leg.
In his stead, he sent a post
card urging Arkansans to vote
for him for whatever it was he
was running for. In recent
monJhs he sa_id he had been having more and more difficulty remembering.

LCC's Chicano Union has begun plans to sponsor another
Chicano Dinner, as most of the
money from the last dinner, in
January, is to be used to aid
a Canby, Oregon family.
Earl Barrios, manager for the
Chicano Union, said that most
of the money made at the January Chicano Dinner will be used
to move Ms. Margarita Puente,
a widow and mother of nine
children} into Eug·ene from
Canby.
Barrios explained that about
three months ago the sewer line
in Ms. Puente's front yard broke.
Since then about one-third of
the yard has been covered by
sewer water, emitting an unbearable odor. The landlord was informed of the condition many
times by Ms. Puente, but his
only attempt to alleviate the problem was using Drano in the
kitchen sink. Ms. Puente has not
been able to use the front door
because of the flooded yard.
Barrios said that her family,
as a result of the flooding can
not use their kitchen sink or
bath tub, because they won't drain
that same day. Ms. Puente' s
children range in ages from twins
age two through 21 years of age.

THE PROBLEM: Every nine

America.
The most fundamental threat
to the survival of our planet
is overpopulation. Each child in
the US, during its lifetime, will
consume more than 56 million
gallons of water, use 37 thousand
gallons of gasoline, consume 5 1/2
tons of meat, 9 tons of milk
products, and 5 1/2 tons of wheat.
While comprising only 6 per
tt,mt of the world population,
Americans consume half of the
world's resources.
According to Dr. Paul Ehrlich,
the chain reaction leading to de-struction may have already begun. "Even if we stopped applying chlorinated hydrocarbons
(pesticides) to the land right now,
the run-off into the sea -would
not probably peak for a decade ..•

GHEA TEST SELECTION
ANYWHERE IN
THE NORTHWEST

Heath. other prov1s1ons of the
policy include plebiscites to be
held periodically to see if the
people of the North wish to be
reunited with the counties of the
Republic of Ireland. But with a
2/3 majority Protestant popuJa..
tion that is doubtful.
Another_
calls for a phasing out of the
detested policy of internment of
subversive suspects. But the decision does not meet the demands
of Catholic civil rights groups to
end the policy completely. Also
in the plan is the establishing of
a commission to represent all
forces in the struggle in Northern
Ireland. This commission will
advise the newly appointed Prime
Minister. Heath hopes the· new
policy will change the climate
of violence to one of negotiation.
But reaction to the proposal
was mixed. While the Northern
Irish civil rights group considered the proposal hopeful, the
outlawed IRA vowed to continue
its guerrilla attacks until the
two countries are again united.
And the Protestant majority of
the country is up in arms over
the decision. William Craig, the
founder of the newly established
Protestant Ulster Vanguard, labeled the decision to a sellout
to Catholic terrorism.
