. Women, parties launch registratio•n drive on 'Lane campus
The League of Women Voters
:and the Democratic and Republican parties yesterday launched a
voter registration drive at LCC.
Tables were set up around the
campus to register potential voters, and, as of Monday afternoon, reported that student response was good.
Eligibility for a person to vote
in the May 23 Oregon primary
ends April 22, when he or she
must be registered in the party
of their choice.
The Oregon primaries became
controversial when Sen. Ted Kennedy's name appeared on the
ballot. Kennedy had requestert to
Secretary of State Clay .Myers
that his name be left off the ballot as he was not seeking the office of President. Myers, who
has sole authority over whose
name goes on or off the ballot,
chose to place Kennedy in the
running.
The primary this year will include five county measures and
six state measures, as well as
candidates for party nominations.
The five county issues are:

a change in the sheriff and assessor's positions from elective
to appointive, an increase in
the number of County Commissioners from three to five, shortening the terms of Commissio-

ners from six to four years, and
a proposal for the home rule
charter that would create a 1.5
per cent county income tax.

The League of Women Voters and the Democratic
and Republican parties launched a voter regis-

tration drive at LCC yesterday. Student response
was reported good.

Senate engages lawy.~ r

The Student Senate met Thursday, Mar. 31, and in a charged
session voted to hire Attorney
Larry Gildea to negotiate with
the Board of Education at LCC
concerning the 12 1/2 per cent
tuition increase that is set to go
into effect Fall Term.
Student Body President Omar
Barbarossa said at the Student
Senate meeting that the timing
of the Board of Education, in
voting during Spring Break to
increase tuition without contacting any students or student representatives, almost seemed
planned.
Barbarossa said that classes
at Lane are continually getting
more crowded, student services
are declining, and that the Board
and Administration continue to
treat the students as uninvolved
tuitiorrchildren, rather than
paying adults.
The Senate voted to rectify
these situations by legal means.

The Senate went on to discuss several other items which
included:
• The Vote r Registration
drive at LCC which is to be held
April 3 and 4, Monday and Tuesday on Lane's campus. Tables.
will be placed around campus in
heavy traffic areas to direct un- ,
registered perspective voters to
the registrars who will be at
LCC.

Correction
In the last edition of the

TORCH, it was stated that
the snack bar hours are from
7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday.
The actual hours on Friday are
from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
There will be one hot meal
served each night for night
school students. The hot ineal
will be served till 7:30 p.m.
when the grill closes.

• The "Town Hall Meeting"
is tentatively set for May
1 to bring together the students,
administration, faculty and other
interested people to discuss any
and all problems.
. Oregon Community Col•
'iege Student Association (OCCSA)
convention at Mt. Hood Community College, which seven LCC
representatives will
student
attend at a cost to the Student

registrar from the League of Women Voters, stated that every
registrant tnust declare a party.
She noted that voters who declare one party may vote only
within that party during the pri-

Body of $318.
The Senate voted t6:
• Establish a committee to
re-evaluate the role of the Student Senate Advisor.
• Establish a committee to
review the use and guidelines of
the PA system in the Student
Advisor's office.
• Either pay students or have
work study students run the student body elections in May.

PRC meets in executive session
Last night, the Priorities Review Committee (PRC) met for
a continuation of last Thursday's
meeting. At Thursday's meeting
the committee began its examination of the area of efficient use
of administrative personnel and
expenditures. The committee at
that meeting began to familiarize
itself with the newly formed position of Advisor to the Presi-

The Cage, a theatre group composed of exconvicts, presented a play .and confrontation on
the LCC campus Saturday, .April I.
The play dealt with the homosexuality, violence, and insanity that are in, and propagated
by the prison system in the United States.
The play consisted of three hardened inmates
who intimidate, beat , attempt to rape, and finew, young inmate who insists
nally kill
throughout that he is not guilty.
Following the play there was a question and
answer session, called a confrontation by The
Cage, during which the large and receptive crowd
on hand was allowed to ask anything pertaining
to the ex-inmates or the prison system.

mary elections. Rob Williams,
chairman of the voter registration drive, explained that voters
registering as Independent would
not be able to vote for Presidential candidates in the primary:
there are none running for the
office in that party.
In Eugene, city fire stations
are conducting registration drives. Also there are several certified registrars here at LCC
who can register potential voters.
They include Peggy Wakefield in
the Student Senate office, and Lyle
Swetland in the administration
building.
Free ballot measure information will be available to voters
at the Eugene and Springfield libraries.
Statistics are not available at
this time on the number of 1820 year olds who are registered
in Lane County. but according to
a poll taken at the U of O there
were as many as 70 per cent
of students registered.
The voter registration drive
at LCC will continue through
today with five tables operating.

When asked about the killing of George Jackson at San Quentin, who had alledgedly had a
gun, killed a guard, and tried to escape, Lynn
Denson, who played the part of the young inmate and who was just released from San Quentin three months ago, said that Jackson was being
held in maximum security,where it is impossible
to acquire a gun because of the "skin searchs"
that are administered coming and going from any
meeting that Jackson may have had with his
lawyer. Denson went on to say that Jackson could
have had the guard killed for two packs of cigarettes if he had wanted him killed, and that
Jackson had probably been killed because of his
successful effort to organize the inmates at San
Quentin in hope of better conditions.

dent on Equal Opportunities, and
subsequently called President Eldon Schafer last night for clarification of that person's duties.
The position discussed is now
held by Jonathon West.
Last night's meeting was held
in "executive session" allowing
the committee to talk freely about
individuals without the possibility
of being quoted by the press.
The meeting ran for two and a
half hours in this manner with the
committee examining the roles
of top administrators with Dr.
Schafer substantiating their positions to the committee. The role
of Advisor to the President on
Equal Opportunities was again
discussed, and the time was divided equally between that position and the role of the Office of
Community Relations which is
responsible for the public relations between the campus and the
outside world.
One of the first recommendations to come out of the committee thus far has concerned its
advisement to the President that
a moratorium be put into effect
on the hiring of "non-teaching"
personnel.
When the committee came out
of executive, just before last
night's meeting, the talk centered
around what needs to be accomplished in its interviews with administrators. Such ideas as having administrators double as
instructors, to help generate the
number of full time equivalency
students, would bring extra revenue into the college which is
sorely needed.
Dick Newell, a committee
member, said "the amount of
material is becoming mind-boggling." He was referring to the
various informational documents
that the committee must ingest
in order to understand exactly
how the college is able to func tion.

The innocent blstander

AnJ so it caJrne to pass

Only cheating ourselves
Voter registration seems to have caught on well at LCC. Makes
one think that there is a possibility voting could become a fad.
The appearance of this trend on the Lane campus would be a new
experience for the student body and educationally stimulating, since
figures indicate only 460 students voted during the most recent
student polling. That's less than 10 per cent of the student body population.
The apathy involved in this situation is not healthy. It shows that
students are not receiving a well rounded education here at LCC.
A good example of this apathy would be the Student Senate
meetings. The student turn-out is very low, our elected representatives following suit. These meetings conduct the affairs directly
affecting our student lives and rights; yet no one appears to care
enough to ·even show up.
We, as students and members of society, should be more than
willing to participate in all matters concerning our lives now, as well
in the future when we take our positions as productive people in our
society.
The importance of the vote has been stressed by so many for
so long it is hard for the argument to register on tired minds. But
the significance of voicing one's opinion can never be truly avoided.
The quality of life on this world hangs on each individual and, vice
versa, each individual's quality of life depends on the state of this
world. One cannot escape the other.
And voting is one of the few powers each individual possesses to
shape those parts of life directly affecting him or her: the end of war,
the re-creation of a balanced, livable environment, the encouragement
of justice and equality.
We cannot escape our responsibility; we only cheat ourselves in
the end.

Sales pitch again?
During the past budget elections the point was brought home
that a large portion of the Lane County community is less than ecstatic with the condition of Lane Community College.
Last year, LCC suffered two budget defeats at the hands of
property owners. Ironically, LCC must pay for such election procedures, and three different ballots present a costly effort.
Despite several last minute and expensive television commercials and a barrage of public relations efforts .•• the people of the
county found the prospect of Lane's budget too much to swallow all
at once. We found, as I'm sure the rest of the citizenry did, that
these public relations efforts, coming so conveniently at the time
they did, gave the immpression that someone might be trying to
shove a white elephant on the community.
Well, the budget election is just around the corner again. And
again nothing has been done. Administrators are beginning to think
again about how to ''sell" LCC to the people. No one in the wellpaid public relations game has yet come up with a new wrapping for
an old package. More importantly,few have even thought about why
the budget was defeated last year.
Why do a substantial number of people perceive LCC as a used
car? Is LCC simply a miniature version of the Universit_y? Or is
Lane simply a trade school for those who want a higher-paying job?
Could the college become something more?
These questions need some very fast, but detailed answers.
We cannot afford a used car sales pitch again. The students here
deserve much more, and so do the taxpayers.
The only way that the people of Lane County might support the
college is if they could see something useful in its existence. Clearly
flooding the labor market with competition every two years isn't
enough. Though a new theatre complex for the Performing Arts is
desperately needed, that too is insufficient to justify Lane's existence. If Lane Community College existed for the good of the community (which means the good of everyone including ourselves)
the taxpayers might be more generous.
Could welding students and art students work together to design
and build imaginative playground equipment for our public parks?
Could Landscape students design such parks? Could the Performing
Arts students do benefit performances for children? How would the
voters feel if LCC developed an inexpensive dental service for
people of the county? What would happen if members of various
departments took a hard look at what Eugene and the rest of the
county needs, and tried to satisfy those needs?
We would not say for certain that such a program would result
in a "loaves and fishes" budget miracle. But maybe if the budget
proposal was practical, our public relations "experts" could show
the people of the county some tangible proof that LCC is, in fact,
an investment from which the community gets a definite return.
Since the Priorities Review Committee is busy working out
the "what ifs" of budget defeats and belt-tightening, they might
listen to what the non-experts think of Lane Community College and
the dismal reality done on the original dream.
As we recall that dream we see a "community" college where
the sons and . daughters of working people could get technical and
social training that might improve the quality of living in Lane
County. We feel that there is substantial student interest to make
good on that dream.
Of course, at present, the proposition that departments work
together in joint efforts of community improvement would seem
absurd , to many sectors of our mini-bureaucracy at LCC. Certainly the idea is unprecedented.
What is more unprecedented at this point in our minds is that
the famous "open door" policy of Lane Community College is
about to close with such finality that the aforementioned dream will
be shut out. And it will be shut out forever because that's the
way such things go. Now which proposition is more absurd?

by Arthur Hoppe

Once upon a time, the country
was in terrible shape. The people were filled with vague unease,
obscure fears and nameless forebodings.
For they had lost faith in
Their Old Leaders.
Their Old Leaders had sent
their sons off, flags flying, to
fight a Glorious War. But it
had been long and bloody and now
it all seemed for naught.
And the people felt betrayed
by Their Old Leaders.
They felt, too, that Law and
Order had broken down. Riots
and demonstrations swept the
land. The people no longer felt
safe in their homes and streets.:
Yet it seemed nothing was done.
And the people blamed Their
Old Leaders.
All around them, too, the people saw Their Old Values crumbling. Artists painted pictures the
people couldn't comprehend. Satirical plays attacked the traditional virtues and even National
Pride. The movie screens showed
little but nakedness, violence and
decadence. A.nd the young were
wrathful and rebellious, going off
on strange new paths the people
didn't understand.
To the people, the country appeared rootless and drifting, being carried along by mysterious
currents 1to God-knows-what
frightening depths with no one
in control. And Their Old Leaders just kept saying The Old
Answers would work.
But the people no longer believed Their Old Leaders.

His initial.... attempts to depose
The Old Leaders failed miserably. For he had little nationwide appeal.
At first, The O 1d Leaders
laughed at him. The intellectuals
poked fun at him. The bureaucrats ignored him. The experts
wrote him off as merely another
Southern demagogue.
But as the malaise that infected
the country deepened, so did The
New Leader's appeal.
Partly it was his racism. It
made some people feel better to
think they were inheritantly superior to the minorities in their
midst.
But mostly it was his uncanny
ability to capitalize on the people's distrust of Their Old Leaders and their disillusionment
with The Old Answers to the
country's growing problems.
The New Leader was a fiery,
spell-binding speaker. His rallies were masterpieces of showmanship. His vote grew. His
crowds swelled. And he told them

what they wanted to hear.
He told them all their troubles
were caused by Their Old Leaders and the intellectuals and the
bureaucrats and the experts and
the fuzzy-minded way they were
running things.
And he told them that once in
power, he would throw out these_
lily-livered nincompoops and
with a firm hand restore Law
and Order, the Old Values and
National Pride.
For what he promised the people was what they desperately
wanted in these times of vague ;
unease, obscure fears and nameless forebodings. He promised
them Authority.

And so it was, on January 3,
1933, that Adolph Hitler became
Chancellor of Germany.

Then, in the South, a New
Leader was a short, dark, intense man. An avowed racist,
he headed asmallSouthernparty.

Referendum sought
for mariiuana vote
on November ballot
Beginning this week, a petition is being circulated on the
LCC campus to put the question of legalization of marijuana
on the November ballot. The
referendum is the aim of a group
called Marijuana Education for
Legalization in Oregon.
Before it can become part of
the Oregon ballot, 55,000 signatures are needed, and 5,000
are hoped for at LCC. Student
Body President Omar Barbarossa has been helping to organize the petition drive here
at LCC, and he stated yesterday
that between 1000 .and 1200 signatures had already been attained.
"Surprisingly, most people are
for it," said Barbarossa. Students and staff both showed a
willingness to sign the petition,
although opinions differ beyond
the question- of whether or not
it should be voted on.
11
I signed the petition,'' said
Father Deringer, the campus
chaplain. "I think it should be
legalized; it should be taken off
the list of dangerous narcotics."
LCC President, Dr. Eldon Schafer, stated also that he was in
favor of putting the issue to a
vote, and that it is just a matter of time before marijuana becomes legalized.
Widespread student approval
has been demonstrated in favor
of marijuana legalization. "I
think everybody should be allowed to make their own choice,"
said one signer, "and not be
penalized one way or the other."

Afro-America n Institute
betYtreen Blacks and Whites
"This is the dawning of the
Age of Aquarius," quipped Rodney Edwards, Business Manager
of the Eugene based Afro-American Institute, during a recent interview conducted at the Institute.
A native of Gary, Indiana, the
25-year old Edwards feels that,
"Peace can best be achieved
through understanding."
Edwards pointed out that the
primary purpose of the eightmonth old, non-profit Afro-American Institute is to '' Provide a sounding board for improvement of communication between Blacks and Whites in the
E u g e n e -Springfield area.'' He
stated that the founding of the
institute on September 1, 1971
coincided with the publication of
the first issue of a bi-monthly
newspaper called • Black Talk,
which is the printed voice of the
Afro - American Institute.
Edwards also mentioned that the
Institute is oriented tow a rd establishment of community-action
service programs and formulation of· academic, research, '
'

and res o u r c e endeavors. He
stressed that the Institute hopes
to initiate and sponsor low cost
housing projects, referral services for employment and housing, and promote workshops, seminars, and classes to relate
the "Black Experience" to the
community at large. The AfroAmerican Institute (Black Institute) intends to develop itself into a resource center of
books, periodicals, tapes, films
and displays which accurately
portray the American Black from
the 17th century to the present
day.
'
Th e organizational structure
of the Black Institute consists
of a board of directors, four
administrative offices, and five
action group coordinators. Bobby Edwards, Lewis Peters, Bill
Nash, Peggy Wakefield, and Harold Adams constitute the Board
of Directors. The administrative positions include. Lewis Peters, President, Harold Adams,
Director Bill Nash, Treasurer;
Bobby Edwards, Vice-President;
. and Peggy Wakefield, Secretary.

Therefore, we must assume the responsibility of

Another important thing we can do is check

Many new brands are available that contain no
phosphates whatsoever, as well as NTA (found to
be an unacceptable substitute for phosphates).

Students cry ,hardship, exploitation'

With LCC students facing
another tuition increase
next fall,
the TORCH queried
several members of

the student body
on the personal impact
th is increase
woud have . ..

JAMES REDMAN: It makes me wonder how come they didn't tell
us. It doesn't really effect me that much 'cause I'm on a scholarship. But, what about the people on welfare? It's bad for other people.
It might be ~ood for taxes though. Maybe a lawyer can find some way
to get around it. The way it is, it's just everybody's getting moneyhungry.
•

BOB JOHNSTON: I'm a veteran
going to school on the GI Bill
and living on $175 a month is
rough. With an increase of $30
per school year, it will definitely hurt my living standards. Also
with the cost of books going up,
the increase will cut my available book funds in about half.
And that right there is an infringement on my student rights.

GERALD THOMPSON: Personally, it's not going to effect me because I work and get veteran aid. But if I were a full-time student,
I would try to raise a vote or something to get it thrown out. There's
no money as it is, and no jobs; people are struggling to go to school
as it is. I don't think it's any good whatsoever. I'd help out all I
could to get it thrown out.

Bob Johnston

BILL CURRY: I decided to come
to LCC because I couldn't afford
to go the the University. I came
to Lane, found it a different type
of school than I'd been accustomed to. I like the openness and
was surprised at the cost (it's
twice as much at the U). I continued filling the same requirements as I could at Oregon, for
less money. I didn't like the idea
of Oregon raising its tuition; I
don't know why Lane is raising
its. Maybe it's the higher cost
of materials, or making up for
administrative mistakes. But, the
cost is still minimal and it's as
good a school as you can find.
So I'm still happy about LCC.

Bill Curry

Tony Mastrolio

TONY MASTROLIO: My feeling on the raise is the same as Barbarrossaa: It essentially is exploiting the students without asking.
Students constantly are being exploited, taken advantage of, without
being consulted. For most of them (like the vets) it's a real hardship. Seems like each term they're cutting in more, making ends
harder to meet. The thing that bothers me most is: the money is going
to the professional people here at Lane, meanwhile realizing the
area is depressed employment-wise. They're getting increases
while the student foots the bill. All the hardship is on us.

CONNIE HEISLER: I think its
ridiculous. It was unfair the way
it was put through. It should be
the students' decision.

Connie Heisler

FRIEDA BARNES: I think it's
really going to hurt people. It's
the tuition they're paying- they
should have a voice about it.

"It all has to do with survival of the college"

Editor's Note: On Thursday,
March 30, Merlin Ames of the
Food Services Department talked
with TORCH feature editor, Mikel
Kelly, of a problem he sees fa- .
cing LCC. The following is a
commentary growing from the
discussion.

by Mikel Kelly
Last week, in an '' open letter
to the staff," Food Services Department Chairman Merlin Ames
expressed a personal concern for
the identity of LCC and the future
of that identity. Speaking of the
philosophy and id e ol og y surrounding the college, Ames displayed a quiet fear that perhaps
< the ideals and roles of everyone connected with LCC are becoming more and more overshadowed by fear and self-interest.
Most likely what Ames alluded
to is generally ~quated in dollars
and cents. Members of the community have demonstrated continually that they can not bear
the tax burden that they identify with LCC.
Faculty and staff personnel are
faced with a yearly battle for
raises in salary.
The student outcry at threats
of tuition increases are equally
predictable.
Everyone is thinking primarily
of their pocketbooks, said Ames,
and not of what they can do for
their fellow human beings, and
the college as a whole.
It is this attitude of fear, negativity and antagonism that Ames
is most concerned about. '' It all
has to do with the survival of
the college," Ames said Thursday. '' The constant budget defeats
should tell us something about
the unhealthy atmosphere facing
LCC. We need the community's
support. We need to do something

ROBERTSON'S
DRUGS

to show we're serious - that
our primary concern is teaching students.''
hmes' own personal method for
demonstrating just where his
values lie is his decision to
turn down his raise in salary
this year. "I don't want to. I
can't financially, but I'll do it,"
he said. "It's a chance for me
to do something for students.
I'm giving up about a thousand
dollars. That's what my raise
would mean."
Ames was totally unwilling to
blame anyone or to refer to any
instance that might be responsible, even partly, for the problem, It is, in fact, this selfish
attitude of looking for blame
that bothers him most.
His letter· follows 1 in its entirety.

Open Letter to the Staff
I have for a long time been
thinking about LCC and my relationship to this school. I love
working with the people of my
department as well as many outside of it. As an administrator,
I've tried to provide for their
needs in advice, materials,
patience, and love. My involvement in instruction has been in
trying to provide the students
with the type of study that makes
it possible for them to fulfill
their needs. In this I have failed.
h. year ago the full
two-year
program of Food Technology was
submitted to the Board for approval and was set aside be-

cause of the lack of budget money.
I could have blamed the Board ·
for not understanding how important this program is to the
students and department, but I
thought it was not time for the
program to be instituted, next
year would be better.
This year is not better. There
are people who think we should
charge •more money for food and
the students, by paying more for
the food, would be paying for the
new program. This may be right
but I am not the one to judgeo
I do know if we increase prices
there will be less food sold resulting in less work for everyone in Food Service, employees
and students alike. The food and
instruction would be regressing
instead of advancing.
. I think to myself, "What is
happening to this college?" I
saw LCC when it was just an
idea. Now there is so much
unhappiness and fear. Are people
not caring? Are they not doing
their job? Are people no longer
wanting to help students find the
way to fulfillment and income
or what ever their need is?
No! Everywhere I turn people
are doing extra things and not
asking for thanks or reward,
just doing them because it needs
to be done.
What is wrong then? I feel the
problem is that people see themselves as individuals or members of a department, not as
part of the total college. I f
there are problems in our de-

( ) That "Smoke Pretty" ad makes me furious. Whoever made
that up knows where the money is-fewer women than men are
quitting. But they won't get rich over my dead body.
( ) I want to be a teacher. How can I discourage kids from
smoking when I smoke?
_
( ) I know my father's been trying to quit. How can he with
me still puffing away?
( ) I want to wake up feeling fresh and clean again. I've had it
with nicotine hang-over in the mornings.
( ) The thing that appeals to me most is: If you quit for good,
in most cases it can be as if you never smoked.
(
) Somewhere in the back of my head I've been nurs!ng _the
illusion that smoking is really only dangerous for men. Ive Just
seen the latest statistics. The death rate for women who smoke
is more than 20% higher than for women who don't. We've come· a

partment we are very concerned,
but if the overall health of LCC
is poor it doesn't seem a part
of us. There must be some question about how any part can be
healthy if the whole is ailing.

My intent is not to be profound
but to simply voice my concern
for a place that allows me the
opportunity to help people. I remind myself that it is not just
a way to earn a living - that
is secondary. Not that providing
for myself and the ones I love
isn't important. It is, and without them I could not do what
I'm doing. But more important
to me is the fact that without
this college I would have neither
the opportunity to help people
nor the way to gain an income
through such service to people.
So I have decided I should
try to help all of LCC instead
of just my department. I am not
saying, "What can my department
do?" But rather, "What can I
personally do?" I feel it's at
the personal level that help must
be given. Some people have helped
in plans to get the budget vote.
Others have helped raise money

to put the plans into effect. I
am sure this has helped but it
is not enough. There has to be
something bigger done. Something everyone could do if they
so chose. I am going to do what
I think needs to be done. I am
going to turn down a raise this
coming year, no matter what
happens, budget approved or not.
For those who may think, "Well
he can afford to give up a raise,"
these are the facts. I live in
a very simple one bedroom home,
heated with wood heat. It takes
all I earn to make payments

reason for purchasing a ranch
is to give help to homeless children when the time is right.
We are doing without luxuries
now in order to fulfill this dream
in the future so it is not easy
to give up any inc.9me that could
be used in the pursuit.
The raise is needed by me
but not so much as my need to
show LCC how grateful I am for
what it has given me and not
as much as my need to show the
students and community how
much I believe in LCC.

Northern Division include Clatsop, Clackamas, Judson Baptist,
and Chemeketa Community College. The top two finishers in
each division will play in the

OCCAA tournament on May 12-13.
LCC returns eight lettermen
this season including AU-District infielder Chuck Dickerson.
Dickerson batted .315 last season to lead the Titans.
Among the returning lettermen
are two pitchers, a catcher, first
baseman, and a utility infielderoutfielder.
Leading the returning .pitchers
is Randy Taylor. Last season
Taylor posted a 3.01 ERA, fourth
on the team. With Taylor will be
Tim Curts who had a 6.00 ERA
Newcomers Larry Glaze anct
Bruce Cook are also possible
starters.
The catcher spot is solid with
sophomore Gary Glassenapp anchoring the all important position. Glassenapp carried a .142
batting average last season. However, three other players could
push Glassenapp for his starting r o I e. Tony Jonnson, Joe
Estes, and Kirk Hoff, all of whom
can play the infield as well, are
trying for the catching position.
The infield should be solid,
too. Two holes have to be filled

There is not an . abundance
of outfielders. Coach Sackett may

This season the Titans will
play a 15-game schedule. First
game was scheduled for Saturday,

of Oregon J. V.'s.

Tennis team to

play 19 games
Head Tennis Coach Don Wilson enters his second season
this year. The Titans will try
to improve on an 8-7 record
last year. Lane will play an improved schedule of 19 games
this season adding such teams
as Linfield, Portland State, Clark
and Centralia Community College of Washington.
Lane's first match will be
April 5 with Mt. Hood Community
College.
Wilson believes this year's
team will be an improved team
led by returning players, Joe
Tollenar and Mike Ruiz.
The big news is the quality
of the LCC newcomers this
spring. The former number one
singles man from North Eugene,
Don Allen, and a member of
Sheldon High School's championship team, Rick Baker, will see
plenty of action. A tbird player,

Tak~ me to the ball park
The LCC baseballers opened their season April 1, Saturday, at
the University of Oregon's Howe Field. They came away with a 9
to 1 defeat from the Duck JV's. Pitcher Larry Glaze went the distance for the Titans. Two bad pitches with men on base were the keys
to the LCC defeat. Chuck Dickerson, Paul Suddath, and John Bradford all had one hit in three appearances at the plate. Next game
for the baseballers is with Chemeketa at 3 p.m. in Salem.

Cram, Griffith finish one, two

The Lane Community College
track and field team finished third
in last Saturday's triangular meet
held in Salem.
Finishing ahead of Coach Al
Tarpenning' s charges were Willamette University with 69 1/2
points, and Linfield University
with 67 1/2 points. The men of
Lane were able to garner only
32 points.
The team was handicapped by
the absence of field men. Regional heavyweight champion Murray
Booth was to have thrown the shot
put, but he dropped out of school.
Decathalon hopeful, and fine hurdler, Jeff Vanderkley decided not

to come back this spring as well.
The big news for the track men
was the one mile and two mile
runs. Outstanding cross country
men of last fall finished in the top
two spots in these events. Bill
Cram took first as he ran a
4:33 mile, while Randy Griffith
finished with a 4:34.1 mile, and
second place. In the two mile
it was Griffith with a 9:50.0
time for first place, and Cram
ran second with a 9: 50.4 timing.
These two fine distance men

• Progra m needs help
by Liz Campbell

A Scout program for the educable mentally retarded is alive
and well in the Springfield area,
and in need of more volunteer
help.

1

Connie Bowlsby, Springfield,
coordinator and founder of the
community project, which receives no funds from any source,
"hopes something can be worked
out" so students from LCC can
receive college credit for their
volunteer aid. A University student is presently working in the
program and receiving credit.
In working existence for one
year, the program encompasses
both Boy and Girl Scouts, following, with modification, the traditional Scout program. "The children we work with are not retarded enough to go to Pearl Buck,
and yet are too slow to keep up
with 'normal' classes," related
Ms. Bowlsby, who made clear she
was in no way "an expert."
'' They are children who will
be able to hold jobs as adults;
they're not extremely hard to
work with. Some have speech
handicaps, others behavior and
physical problems. These Scout
meetings have, in many instances,

actually enriched the curricula
of the child's classrooms."
Meetings are held once a week
at the schools where the children
attend. According to Ms. Bowlsby, in one pack, members have
learned to tell time and the days
of the week, because of the weekly Scout meeting and "the enthusiasm of the den-mother." We
try to emphasize an atmosphere
of social learning-that is, we incorporate fun to learn."
A number of volunteers are
needed in the program in the
Douglas Gordon School in Springfield. Pack meetings are tentatively held on Thursdays. Den
mothers (leaders of Cub Scouts
up to age 10) are needed, as well
as a Webloe leader ( a man to
lead boys not yet in junior high).
Also needed are a Brownie leader (girls to age 10) and a Packmaster to co-ordinate Boy Scout
troops and act as ceremonial
leader. Another volunteer capacity is that of driving some students from school to school.
Ms. Bowlsby hopes the program will attract "young people
who are looking for something
of value--and immediate personal
rewards. We want people who are
willing to help without receiving
a lot of backpatting from others."

. Coach Al Tarpenning is at it again, friends.
The track and field boss at LCC ran off with the
state and regional cross country championships
last fall. Now, as he enters his fourth year at
the Titan helm, his track and field team is the
odds-on-favorite to capture the OCCAA Title this
year.
The biggest reason for the fa vorite t:ag: there
are eight returning lettermen, and
perhaps a big rea'\t:c:nx,·r,i,I

four th year
Dan Van Camp, who was the mile conference
champion last spring.
other returning lettermen are Tom Martin,
Kent Larsen, Larry Isley, Bruce Davison, Darius Smith, and Mike Turner.
Martin runs the high hurdles, and was fifth
in the conference and third at the regionals in
1971. Larsen was fourth in the conference 100
and 220, Isley was sixth in the conference 880,
and Smith took fourth in the OCCAA long jump.
Davison runs the two mile and Turner throws
the javelin.

Some tremendous newcomers for the track
wars are Bill Cram, Randy Griffith, Garrie
Franklin, Dale Hammitt, and Mike Monaghan.
These young men all placed in the state and
regional cross country championships last falL
other newcomers include Jeff Hardesty, Ritch
Kesey, Dan Walsh, Wilber Johnson, and Paul
Engels - all sprint men.
Ron Ladd will be involved with the weights.
Doing the jumps will be Bob Mosley, Norm
Williams, Mark Simons, and Dale Lee, who also
played basketball for the Titans this winter.
Throwing the javelin will be Steve Maryanski and Rich Stubbs.
Coach Tarpenning stated that "the track
events seem to be the strongest area for the
Titans. There is depth in all of the running
events. The field events are untested and we don't
have much depth in this area. However," he
continued, "there are a few outstanding individuals that could make LCC a contender for
the conference and Region 18 championships."
The Titan trackmen have finished second in
both the conference and regional championships
in 1969, 1970, and 1971. No wonder the Titans
are favored to capture the OCCA;\. this year,
especially considering that Mt. Hood is no longer around to intimidate the Titans.
However~ as Coach Tarpenning makes clear,
the roster shows the trackmen to be a very young
team. ·There are 20 freshmen and eight sophomores.
Al Ta.rpenning was a track star as well as
being a star coach. He was Northwest Conference High Jump Champion in seasons 1953, '54,
and '55. He competed for Linfield College.
Before coming to LCC, AI coached at Hillsboro High School, and coached the Centennial
High School Eagles to the 1967 A-1 Track and
Field Championship.

opportunity for members of the LCC community
to express their opinions. The following was
prepared by 'Steve Leppanen, ASLCC Senatorat-Large.)

"It is a reality that people now give
more than just lip service to democracy;
partly because of better education, partly
because of better understanding of what
democracy means. All persons wish _to
have a part in making the decisions that
affect their lives. The majority of persons
in any given community of persons are no
longer willing to stand by silently while
someone else, possibly from a position of
assumed superiority, makes arbitrary
judgements. The role of the administrator
and the policy maker is changing, and we
must find new ways to participate in
truly democratic and genuinely equal deliberations."
The above quote is from a statement by
Catherine Lauris made during an LCC Board,
of Education meeting on the 12th of January, this
year. The speech drew polite applause from those
attending and was subsequently reprinted in The
Daily. And, apparently, it was promptly forgotten.
The 12.5 per cent tuition increase was announced, without warning, during finals week of
Winter Term - when most of the students had
already left campus - and became Board Policy
during Spring Vacation. The timing of this action
was conducive to anything but democratic part-

icipation by students - if, indeed, that was
what the Board was trying to achieve. During
the Board meeting of the 22nd, when the tuition
increase became official policy, I strongly urged
the Board to hold off on this until the "Town
Hall" Meeting, at that time scheduled for April
5. This seemed to be a perfect opportunity for
the type of democratic action that Ms. Lauris
called for in her speech. I was ignored.
At the same meeting, Ms. Lauris stated that
students do, indeed, have representation on the
Budget Committee. What she meant is that there
are three students (one of them appointed by
President Schafer, not the students themselves)
who fairly regularly attend budget meetings.
What she failed to mention is that these students
have neither the right to vote , nor the ability
to place a motion on the floor. These meetings
are open to the public, these students could
attend, appointed or not. Our flaunted student
"representation," when closely examined, has
more of a flavor of tokenism to it than anything
else.
These are just two cases-in-point, centered
around one specific issue. There are other
breaches of the democratic ideal within the operation of this institution. I, for one, would like
to see some action to back-up Ms. Lauris'
statement and others like it.
YES, let us indeed stop paying just lip service
to democracy. YES, let us indeed begin to
participate in "truly democratic and genuinely
equal deliberations." Or, lacking that, iet's begin
telling it like it really is.

Peanut butter and accounting
At ll:40 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays James Evans
leaves his office at LCC. Evans is an instructor in the Business
Department at Lane. In this case his classroom is a room in the
main office building at Weyerhauser Corporation in Springfield. His
25 students are all Weyerhauser employees on their lunch break. His
course is BA 211: Principles of Accounting.
Evans' fully accredited 3 hour a week class is an attempt by
LCC to "reach out" to the community. Evans says that students in the
class come from many departments at Weyerhauser: "Most of the
students in the class are unable to attend night classes. BA 211 gives
them an opportunity to take part in the college which they, as taxpayers, are supporting.
Since it was impractical for the 25 students to commute to LCC,
Weyerhauser and LCC "brought the classroom to the students."
''You see, Evans explains, "if the students pass the course, Weyerhauser will pay the students' fees."
Evans feels that, "LCC should not be confined to the campus. I
believe that there are many other courses which can be taken to the
employer's location and benefit the individual student by making it
readily accessible to him."

This Week

Following last week's dramatic announcement by fo. ·mer attorney-general Ramsey Clark, counsel for the Harrisburg Seven, that
the defense would rest its case without calling a single witness,
the jury aas spent the last few days unable to come to terms with
the legal definition of "conspiracy."
In some 27 hours of deliberation behind locked doors, the jury
has asked Judge R. Dixon Herman to reread the legal definition of
"conspiracy" at least three times. After asking the jurige for
yet another reading of the definition, the jury finally w:.thd.L w the
request. This was interpreted as a sign that the jury had roached
an understanding of the definition. Defense attorney Leor.ard P.oudin
told newsmen, "I have never seen a case as complicated as this ,n "

A.bout four-thousand _persons converged on Pennsylvania's capitol on Saturday in protest of the trial. Rev. Daniel B. Berri~an,_
brother of defendant Phillip Berrigan, linked arms with Daniel _
Ellsburg, who released the now famous Pentai?:on Papers, in or- I J
derly march in the sbte's capitol. Daniel Berrigan was recently
released from prison for reasons of ill-health. He was serving a
sentence for destruction of property relating to raids on draft
boards.

Saturday marked the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Uprising
which resulted in independence from England and the formation
of the Republic of Ireland. Fears remained that some of the more
militant Protestant factions in Northern Ireland might disrupt
the Belfast march.
But if the ceremonies go undisturbed, moderates among the
Catholic civil rights groups will prevail on the more radical
elements like the Irish Republican Army, to proceed more slowly
and decrease the guerilla operations and bombings of Belfast
which have marked the city throughout the year.

Powerful North Vietnamese forces have begun pouring across
the Demilitarized Zone, which separates NorthandSouth, in what has
been called the bloodiest offensive since the 1968 Tet new year
operations.
By sundown on Saturday, the South Vietnamese had retreated
from ten bases, and the North Vietnamese appeared to be well on
the way to capturing the entire province of Quang Tri.
Meanwhile President Nixon was reported to be watching the
developments closely as a test of the success of his Vietnamization
program. White House officials said "We are confident that the
South Vietnamese army can cope with the enemy threat."
U.S. Air Force bombers were hampered in supporting the South
Vietnamese defenses by heavy cloud cover.
In political developments, the North Vietnamese delegation to
the Paris Peace talks have refused to abandon the conference and
are waiting for the US representative to propose a new meeting
date. President Nixon had suspended the conference last week, leaving its future indefinite .

In Fresno, California, the city council voted to 'restore $200
to a high school paper which printed an article so critical of President Nixon that a local Republican leader referred to it as ''blasphemous." But a city councilman who defended the paper, looked
up the word "blasphemous" in the dictionary and discovered the
definition meant "indignities toward God or King." The councilman said he wondered ':.. =~11 classification the President fell under.

In Washington, thousands of demonstrators, some of whom
carried signs reading "NiX:"1!1 dogs eat better than our children,"
staged a peaceful march around the White House to protest the President's policies on welfare ari1 child-care in what they called the
''children's march for survival."

Veterans Week to be held
Rob Williams, chairman of the Vietnam Veterans Against the
War (VVAW) at Lane Community College recently announced the
upcomin~ Veterans Week sponsored by the VVAW, starting April 17.
"This week commemorates the first national demonstration in
Washington, D.C.," Williams said. This demonstration entailed the
unpublicized operanon ot veterans into the White House district and
the throwing of military awa'rds and medals over the White House wall
a year ago, April 17. "The demonstration was named Dewey Canyon III
as a derisionary title scorning the unpublicized operations of Dewey
Canyon I and Il, secret military operations into Laos," he said.
This year there are a number of events taking place around Eugene.
On April 17 at the EMU ballroom at 8 p.m., Mike McCusker one of the
original founders of the VVA W and original coordinator of the Peoples
Party Jamboree, will speak to all interestedpersons. This presentation is free and open to the public.
On April 18, two films will be shown at the U of O 180 Prince Lucien
Campbell Hall at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. The films are titled "Different
Sons" and "Only the Beginning" (a film of Dewey Canyon III). This
too is open to the public at one dollar a head.
April 19 there will be a panel discussion at Harris Hall in the
downtown area. .Panef members of the VVA W hope for a discussion
with members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) as well as
with members of the American Legion (AL). If the VFW and AL
decline the invitation for panel discussion, then the VVA W hopes to
invite political candidates. "The reason for this discussion is to
bring focus on the question of repatriotism, amnesty and the continuing air war in Indochina," Williams said. This presentation
is also free and open to the public.
