Ben Kirk

Nixon states ultimatum
President Nixon last night made a nation-wide TV appearance
to relate his new plan of action in the wake of the current Communist
offensive in South Vietnam.
Nixon said "The South Vietnamese have fought bravely and
casualties have been high on both sides." Nixon went on to say that
20,000 civilians have been killed by North Vietnamese shellingo
He said we have taken moves to bring about peace through
negotiations at the peace table since the start of this mass offensive
, by the North Vietnamese.
Nixon explained that he sent Henry Kissinger to Moscow for
four days of meetings with Soviet leaders.
He had Kissinger press the point that the US wants an end to
the war.
Nixon went on to speak of the Paris peace talks. At the May
2 talks in Paris the North Vietnamese gave us "bombastic rhetoric .••
They read verbatum their previous plans."
"Our peace plan has been far-reaching," said Nixon. We
would release prisoners at the ratio of ten Vietnamese ·for one
American. He went on to say that our plans have been met with
"insolence and insult." Their answer to every peace plan has been
"escalation of the war."
Nixon said that ''the threat of a Communist government being
imposed on the 17 million people in South Vietnam has increasedo
Also 60,000 Americans are threatened."
He continued, saying that there are only two issues left for us
in this war.
He posed the questions, "Do we stand by and jeopardize the
lives of 60,000 Americans or leave the South Vietnamese to a long
night of terror?"
"This will not happen, he answered. "We shall do whatever is
required to safeguard American lives and American honor."
·Nixon made clear during his speech that the options referred
to in the past few weeks had been narrowed down to a very few,
one of which is a complete withdrawal, "which I know many Americans favor," he said. "American defeat in Vietnam would encourage
this kind of aggression all over the world. Smaller nations could arm
themselves with the help of larger ally nations and attack their neighbors. World peace would be in grave jeopardy."
"There is only one way to stop the killing, that is to keep the
weapons of war out of the hands of the international outlaws of
North Vietnam."
Nixon then ordered the following measures implemented: .All
entrances to North Vietnamese ports will be mined. Air strikes
against military forces in North Vietnam will continue. The US will
take measures to interdict any supplies to the North. "These actions
are not directed toward any other nation," he added.
The President stated that foreign vessels in North Vietnam's
harbor have been notified that they have "three daylight periods"
to leave in safety.
•
Nixon set forth new conditions to North Vietnam which are contingent to an end of all US acts of force throughout Indochina. All
prisoners of war must be released. An internationally supervised
cease fire throughout Indochina must take place. At that time the
US will withdraw all troops from Indochina within four months.

Wednesday night the LCC Board of Education
agreed "by consensus" to direct the Administration to give Ben Kirk his 1972-73 teaching contract.
The action came following an hour and a half
open hearing before the Board on an administration recommendation that Kirk not be rehired next school year. Administration officials
charged that Kirk had been insubordinate by refusing to teach the prescribed course content
in his physical science courses.
- The Board deliberated in private for nearly
an hour before briefly reconvening the hearing
to announce its decision. The only qualification
placed on the rehiring was that a proposed
course on the relationship of science to everyday living, being developed by Kirk, and to be
taught by him, be "expedited" and· added to the
curriculum next fall.
No vote was announced and no reasons were
given for the Board's decision to overrule the
Administration's recommendation.
Board Chairman Catherine Lauris said only
that a secret ballot taken during the private
deliberation was not "unanimous." She indicated
that the Board would make no statements on its
decision for the present, but would be exploring
issues raised by the Kirk case in the future

with the Administration.
The Staff Personnel Policies Committee
(S PPC), a group elected by and representing the
faculty and classified employees in pay and personnel matters, investigated the charges against
Kirk and voted 4 to 2 that his contract not be
renewed.
Kirk said after the decision that he was "very
pleased" by the Board's reversal of the Administration recommendation: "I think the decision shows that the Board is willing tci respond to the students," he said, "and to support
teachers who are trying to innovate."
President Eldon Schafer said afterward that
he would not comment publicly on the Board's
decision to go against the Admfoistration' s recommendation. In personnel . matters, he said,
the Board sits as a sort of ''supreme court,"
adding that it would "do no good to gripe" about
- the Board decision.
Kirk was represented by Larry Gildea, an
attorney from Eugene. Gildea made it clear from
the start of the hearing that Kirk had never
been notified formally that he was not to be
rehired. Gildea explained that Kirk was issued
memoranda alluding to the possibility that he
might not have been rehired, but had never been
given formal notice of termination.

Campus gardening proiec.t becomes reality
by Daniel J. Kern

Gardening on the LCC campus
is now a reality for students,
staff, and the community ori
a first-come-first-serv ed basis,
according to members of the
newly created six member
Campus Gardening Committee.
Formed through a recommendation by LCC Board of Education
Chairwoman Catherine Lauris at
the April 26 Board meeting, the
committee held its first meeting May 1 to discuss guidelines
for the use of approximately four
acres on the north end of the
campus. This area is expected
to accomodate at least 50 garden
plots.

reasonable limits in order to enhance the appearance of the area.
According to Committee Cochairman Bill Cox the plots of
land can be requested immediately by making application to the other Campus Gardening Committee Co-chairman,
Gary Washburn, in the Department of Grounds.
Committee member Marston
Morgan suggested that potential
users of the garden space should
also sign an agreement to abide
by the guidelines set forth by
the committee, and if the guidelines are not adhered to, the
Campus Gardening Committee
should reserve the right to terminate the agreement for use of
the gardening area.
Yesterday's afternoon meeting
centered around publicity for the
gardening project. It was decided
that a brief article should be
submitted to the Eugene RegisterGuard.

Six major guidelines concerning the garden plots were
discussed and enacted by the
committee:
No family or family group
will be allowed over 2,000 square
feet or under 250 square feet
of gardening space.
No herbicide chemicals will be
allowed in the garden area.
The College will furnish free
irrigation.
All garden equipment (hoses,
tools, seeds, and fertilizer) must
be furnished by the users of the
garden area.
LCC cannot be held responsible
pilfering or theft of garden produce.
Weeds must be kept within

PRC continues investigatio ns
The Priorities Hev1ew Committee, the group commissioned by
President Schafer to make recommendations which could curtail
unnecessary operations and expenses at LCC, met three times
this week.
Last night's meeting continued in the investigation of the Office
of Instruction. . Associate Deans Gerald Rasmussen and Ray
LaGrandeur were on hand to answer queries from the committeeo
The main focus of their discussion involved the efficiency of the
instructional operation, and ways that certain departments might
either generate more state refunds (through an increase in the
Full Time Equivalent enrollment) or through lower expenses.
Last week the committee heard testimony from Dean Case regarding many of the same topics.. At that time a delineation of
responsibility and answerability was established.
On Thursday, the PRC held an early morning (7 a.m.) meeting
to look into the operation of the Business Office. A great deal of
emphasis was put on coordinating the research aspect of the college
as it relates to budget forecasts, and the operation of the Business
Office in the same area. Throughout the hearings, and since they
began, such questions as overlapping of responsibility have been
foremost in the committee's expense-conscious investigation.
During the week, the committee also went even more emphatically into pressing for a high powered campaign for recruiting enrollment in the summer school program to-- help make it a less
expensive propositiou~

The innocent bystander

The Senate and You
There seems to be a continuing dialogue that relates to the
Student Senate and their operation. Many students are saying that
the Student Senators never do anything worthwhile, are just a bunch
of bums and should be thrown out of Student Government.
Throughout the year students run around with petitions urging
everyone to sign them in order that they might be recognized as
candidates for Student Government positions.
It is at this very level that these hopeful Senators must be investigated by the people of their particular department to see if
this hopeful is sincere and earnest in the endeavor that he or she
is about to undertake.
All the talk blaming the Student Government for their lack
of interest and sincerity is ill directed. The blaming lies with those
people in each department who sign petitions for these hopefuls
and never even take the time to find out exactly just what these
people have in mind, and what special .qualities or credentials
they have to offer.
This year the Student Government started with 45 people including senators and the executive council. Only 38 remain.
Seven people have been dropped from the Student Government
this year for not adhering to the policy which states that members
of the Student Government who miss three consecutive meetings
without a valid excuse will be dropped from the Senate.
Omar Barbarossa, student body president, has been very lenient in the enforcement of this policy. There are many more
Senators who could easily qualify for the old heave ho.
Attendance at the Student Senate meetings is usually poor,
with only 40-45 per cent of the Senators attending.
In order that a Student Senate meeting be termed legal and all
business that is conducted be allowed to be enacted a quorum must
be present. A quorom, according to Roberts Rules of Order, means
that 51 per cent of the Student Government must be present in order
that the meeting be termed legal.
It has been sometime since the Student Senate has had a
quorum. T"he fault does not lie with the Executive council for they
are always in attendance, but rather with the lazy apathetiG, Senators
who are the manifistations of an apathetic student bo9y who finds it
fitting to criticize Student Government procedure in a negative
manner.
With Student elections coming up it would be a good time for
students to take an in-depth view of the candidates to insure that
their vote will best serve their needs.
In the past, student elections have drawn few pollers. Approximatly 10 per cent of the student body votes in these elections. Not
only are candidates elected to office through these ballots, but
various issues are presented to the students ranging from the funding
•
of athletics to health care.
Last student polling, 20,000 dollars was funded to the PE
Department by a narrow margin of 255 votes to 258.
It's the responsibility of students here at LCC to take interest
and participate in the upcoming elections. Let us figure the best
way to utilize the student government for all the students and let
us not speak of eliminating student government.

Joe Sikspak and Emperor Nixon
by Arthur Hoppe

I say, kind of surprised. '' I don't know, Trish
and Julie would make fine princesses. But Pat
just don't look like an Empress. And as for the
sound of Emperor Nixon, well... "
,
"We can't make him our Emperor, Joe,"
says Paddy, frowning. "It's not the American
way. What we do is make him our hereditary
President."
"President Nixon, The First?" I say, nodding.
"That sounds okay. What's he do?"
"He greets Boy Scouts, sends gracious notes
to the widows of coal miners and calls up winning
football coaches," says Paddy.
"Who runs the country?'; says I. "A Premier?"
- ''That's not the American way either, Joe,"
says Paddy. "Instead, he appoints a Chairman
of the Board to run the country. Like maybe
Henry Kissinger. No sense making any radical
changes."

Dear President: I, Joe Sikspak, American,
take pen in hand to put a chestnut in the fire.
I'm glad you finally let it out why we're still
fighting in Vietnam.
Like you told those 200 wealthy Texans down
at John Connally's ranch the other day, "If the
United States leaves Vietnam and permits a
Communist take over," you said, "the office of
the President will lose respect and I'm not going
to let that happen.''
,
You· sure hit Mrs. Sikspak's nail on the head
with that one. ''I know exa½tly how the President
feels," she said, when I read it to her. "It's
just like Gary Cooper in High Noon."
And I know what you mean, too. If you bring
our boys home and stop bombing those Vietnamese, guys are going to start wandering into
your office with their hats on, putting their feet
up on your coffee table, calling you a lilylivered coward and demanding you make them
postmaster of Elmira, N.J. 1 or whatever.
It's like I was saving down at Paddy's Place
last ni_ght. I order a 7-Up Hi_gh and say, "Paddy,
me and all the boys at the factory are against
this here war in Vietnam. But," I say, "we
can't have the President losing his respect."
"You're right, Joe," says he, wringing out
the bar rag. "But I got the solution."

''This wins him respect?" I say,
"Sure, Joe," says Paddy. "Lyndon Johnson
lost respect by getting us into Vietnam and Nixon
says he'll lose respect if he gets us out. So
the only way is to do nothing and let the Chariman
of the Board take the heat. Seeing he doesn't
have to worry about respect, the Chairman can
do the right thing."
'' And the President," I say, "can win respect by riding around in his yachts and limousines
and jet planes and having State marriages for his
daughters and .•. "
"That's right, Joe," says Paddy. "The public
would never notice the difference."

* * *
Now Paddy's one smart cookie. (He was an
aerospace engineer until he got vocationally retrained.) So you ought to listen to what he says.
"Joe," he says, "who's the most widelyrespected leader of our day?"
''Joe Namath?" I say. "Willie Mays?"
"I mean in politics," he says. "And the
answer's Queen Elizabeth or maybe Emperor
Hirohito. They get more respect than they can
use."
"You want to make Nixon our Emperor?"

***

So you see, President, the way to get respected is to set up a dynasty. Only I ought
to tell you that, like always, I'm for the genuine
article. So come November, I'm voting for
Teddy,
Truly Yours,
Joe Sikspak, American

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
In last Tuesday's TORCH, apparently a statement or part of
a statement was deleted. Preceding the statement '' Indians
just want to be left alone," there
should have been the following
statement. "After four centuries
of broken treaties, of endless
manipulations due to the white
man's greed, Indians wish to be
left alone."
As the article previously appeared, it would seem that Native Americans are cold and
indifferent but nothing could be
further from the truth. Had that
been true, our White ancestry
could not have become established in the first place.

Nixon unsure about gas

WASHINGTON-The United
States signed an international
ban on the use of biological weapons in a formal ceremony last
week, but the Nixon Administration continues to drag its feet
on a broader agreement limiting
all forms of chemical and biological warfare.
The Administration's insistence that the Geneva Protocol
of 1925 does not apply to herbicides and riot control gases used
extensively by the US in Southeast hsia has delayed ratification
of the agreement for over two
years. More than 90 nationsincluding every major power except the US-have ratified the
1925 Protocol prohibiting first
use in combat of '' asphyxiating,
poisonous or other gases and
all analogous ... devices."
The biological ban signed by
Secretary. of State William
Rogers in Washington April IO
is limited to the development,
production and stockpiling of biological weapons. This agreement
was negotiated last year by the
E i g ht e en Nation Di.sarmament
Commission. The Soviet Union
submitted a draft proposal in a
surprise move last March 31
after the US began unilateral
destruction of its biological weapons stockpile.
The White House will not say
how soon . the recently signed
biological ban will be forwarded
to the Senate, where two-thirds
approval is required by the Consitution. Because the biological
ban and the Geneva Protocol
cover closely related areas, it
might be "awkward," as a Senate Foreign Relations Committee staffer puts it, for the White
House to submit the new biological ban to the Senate before
the question of the Geneva Protocol is resolved.
President Nixon promised to
send the Geneva Protocol to the
Spn::1te for ratification in November 1969. But when the Administration fin a 11 y forwarded
that treaty to the Senate nine
months later, it attached an informal understanding saying that
the ban does not apply to tear
gas and herbicides.
Due to the unique hdministra tion rider, the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee has had second thoughts about ratifying the
Protocol. After holding hearings
on the question early in 1971,
Foreign Relations Committee
Chairman J. W. Fulbright sent a
letter to President Nixon asking
the President to reconsider his
position. One year later, the
White House has yet to respond
to Fulbright's letter.
White House spokesmen say
that the questions raised by the

Committee are being considered
by the State Department. State
Department officials, however,
told this reporter that any decision to modify the government's
position can be made only at
the White House.
The Administration contends
that gases "cause less suffering
than the use of other weapons."
Assistant Secretary of Defense
for International Security Affairs G. Warren Nutter told the
Fore i g n Relations Committee
• that riot control agents can be
used against enemy troops as
an alternative to napalm or artillery, thereby "reducing the
barbarity of war." Governmentsponsored studies on the effectiveness-and the effects--of gas
warfare in Southeast Asia are
presently in process.
The Administration's understanding, Fulbright noted in his
letter to the President, rests on
the opinion that the Protocol's
wording may not have been intended to prohibit use of riot
control and herbicidal chemicals_.
"Having heard the legal testimony on both sides of the issue,"
Fulbright observed, ''many Com-

mittee Members feel that an adequate legal argument can be made
either for or against that interpretation.''
To Fulbright, the over-riding
consideration is that the Administration's rider "cannot help but
weaken the effect of the Protocol." He asked the President
to consider "whether the need
to hold open the option to use
tear gas and herbicides is indeed so great that it outweighs
the long-term advantages to the
United States of strengthening
existing barriers against chemical warfare by means of ratification. . . without restrictive
•
interpretations.''
In December 1969 the United
Nations General Assembly declared that the Geneva Protocol
prohibits "all b i o 1o g i c a 1 and
chemical methods -of warfare,
·regardless of any technical developments." In spite of an intensive US drive ~o defeat this
resolution, it was adopted by
an 80 to 3 margin. US lobbying
efforts did produce some abstentions, but the campaign was
unable to drum up much posi- (Continued on Page 8)

The hum.an envi:ironm.enf
by Mikel Kelly
One of the quickest ways to
make points with a liberal these
days is to take a whack at capitalism. Money, greed, big business-it's all the work of the
devil.
Perhaps.
But, m a y be like any other
earth 1y wrong, the theory is
harmless-and it's the "people"
who bear watching.
We can moan all day long about
a corrupt system and never accomplish a thing, if we don't
consider the human element.

* * *
The word for today is
EXCESSIVENESS.
Americans, a piddley six per
cent of the world's population,
consume over half of everything
consumed.
We drive more cars, build
more houses, and suck up more
electricity than any other people.
And yet, we rank among the

loudest complainers, regarding
our soaring expenses, pitiful salaries, and social impotence.
Pe op I e will actually spend
$700 on a TV set. It's not unusual anymore to own two or
three cars, at least one of which
is of the large variety. Electric
dish wash e rs, giant refrigerators, garbage compacters, home
entertainment centers, vibrating
chairs, and hordes of other
sup e r do ope r atomic thinga-muh-jigs occupy the meagerest
of homes. And no doubt, the
owner feels obligated to gripe
about the cost.
Of course, all of this exces.siveness is silently draining our
resources, assuring us of an
empty future.

If you' re caught in this game
and don't like the rules, you
really can't blame the game.
If you do like the rules, I
guess we really are in trouble.

Film se~ies to provide Holly~ood vie~ of minorities
The Ethnic Studies Department
at LCC has compiled an assortment of films, intended to clarify the attitudes projected by the
movie industry concerning minorities. The Ethnic Film Series began May 4, and films are
planned for every Thursday,
through June 1 , when the series
highlight, "Little Big Man," is
scheduled.
"The basic idea," said film •
coordinator Mary Harvey, "is to
look at how Hollywood has treated minority groups. People from
the Ethnic Studies Department
will present short analyses before and after each film to put
it in perspective, whether negative or positive."
All of the movies are scheduled for room 309 in the Forum Building. Showings will be at
4, 7, and 9 p.m.
No set admission will be charged viewers. "But," said Ms.
Harvey, "They will ask for donations. The amount received
in donations will decide whether
or not we can show ''Little Big
Man."
The problem, according to Ms.
Harvey, is that there was some
confusion when the film was ordered about LCC's capacity to
show 35 millimeter film. The
misunderstanding evolved when
the film coordinators asked if
Lane had 35 mm equipment. They

were told yes, thinking they meant
slides instead of films.
"We have to make a decision
now whether we can afford to
rent the equipment," stated Ms.
Harvey. "The film will cost us
about $300, but the equipment,
plus the charge for transporting
it here will just about double
that amount."
"The only time there's ever
been 35 mm equipment at LCC
was when they were reviewing the
rushes of ''GettingStraight," she
said.
Ms. Harvey was quick to add
that anyone's ideas or suggestions would be appreciated,
as far as locating the appropriate
material.
At any rate, the series will
go on as planned. If "Little
Big Man" becomes an impossibility, she said, "Ji Man Called Horse," starring Richard
Harris, would probably be shown,
"even though the quality isn't
near that of the other film."
It seems then, that public response will dictate the future of
not only this, but subsequent
film series, and the Ethnic Studies Department indicates that
they do wish to present more
films in the future.
The s e r i es began Thursday
with "Ji m Thorpe -All American," featuring Burt Lancaster as the track and foot-

ball star.
A schedule of the movies being
shown is listed below, reprinted
from the Mhnic Film Series
brochure:
Thursday, May 11 - "Salt
of the Earth"
"Salt of the Earth" is a semidocumentary re-creation of an
actual year-long strike of Chicano zinc miners in New Mexico.
Three issues are interwoven in
the film: men against bosses, wives against husbands, and Chicanos against affluent "Anglos."
The drama centers on the complex changing relationships between one of the strikers and
his wife. (Approximately 1 1/2
hours).
Thursday, May 18 - "Nothing But a Man"
This film portrays a black
couple whose problems are individualized, not stereotyped a
film rarity. The major conflict
in the film is the difficulty of
class conflict in the black com munity. The hero struggles against the odds of American white .
society to achieve manhood, while
his wife struggles to make her
middle-class background compatible with her love for the struggling black man. (Approximately
1 1/2 hours).
Thursday, May 25 - "The
Treasure of the Sierra Madre"
This film oortrays the life of

three white Americans who are
hell-bent on discovering gold in
the mountain range . from which
the movie gains its title. In spite
of being a motley group of rogues who are compelled by greed
to Illegally exp 1o it one o t
Mexico's basic resources, they
are sympathetically portrayed as
soldiers of fortune availing themselves of gold which the ignorant
natives do not assign value to.
There is a confrontation scene
between the band of exploiters
and some Mexican bandits that
points up how Yankee ingenuity
is always superior when pitted
against a foreign population. (Approximately 2 hours).
Thursday, June I - "Little Big Man"
Dustin Hoffman plays the lead
in this film about an ancient
(120-year-odd-old) frontiers man, "the sole survivor of Custer's Last St and," whose reminiscences give the film its
shape and quality. Captured by
the Cheyenne as a lad, Little
Big Man is a kind of pioneer
candide----a born innocent, flung
back and forth between his Indian brothers and the white man's
world. Chief Dan George as Little Big Man's grandfather gives
a comm anding performance
which lends authenticity and rare
dignity to life among the '' human beings."

REVOLUTION!
If you are .truly concerned
about the priorities of this
country of OURS--if you are
really opposed to' OUR foreign policy which breeds
Vietnams--if you have decided that this country of
OURS needs a revolution of
ideology--then get YOURSELF off YOUR hands, get
registered, and VOTE!

No city· is an island but Saigon tries to
forget 'The War' by leading aloof life
by Thomas C. Fox
Dispatch News Service

Saigon, Vietnam-This sprawling metropolis
may be only fifty miles from the most fierce
fighting Vietnam has witnessed in the past four
years, but to the people here the war still seems
distant, the battles someone else's concern.
• Teenage Vietnamese, most often the sons and
daughters of the country's wealthier families, sit
as they have for years in "La Pagode" ice cream
parlor, dressed in tight fitting Western clothes,
nibbling on coconut ice cream. A juke. box in the
corner of the air conditioned parYor plays a
Saigon favorite, the theme from Romeo and
Juliet.
The hot streets are flogded wi_th I!_ondas

people. "Everything for Victory" a mammoth
banner reads which drapes over a small square
in front of the National Assembly.
"Long Live the Fighting Spirit of the Vietnamese Soldier" read scores of others, placed
strategically about the capitalo But the people
don't seem to be responding.
At a central downtown intersection a war
exhibit has been erected. Large photographs show
burned out Russian tanks captured in battle.
Other pictures show dead North Vietnamese
soldiers lying in ditches. Curious crowds gather,
but few words are spoken. Two men in white
shirts, looking at the pictures, slowly shake their
heads.
"What do I think?" responds an old man,
holding onto his bicycle as he stops to look at the
pictures. "I do not dare tell my feelings.
No one can speak about these things freely.'_' he
says. After a few reflective moments, he adds,
''Vietnamese are killing Vietnamese. Wouldn't
you say it is sad?"
I try not to think about the
war," a cab driver says to a
foreigner as he drives through
a crowded street. "Until they
are fighting in the streets of
Saigon, I only have time to worry about earning money to feed
my family. The war has gone
on so long. Everyone has sons
and relatives in the army. They
are dying and all we want is
peace."
The fighting is of interest to
the people of Saigon-but at a
distance. Newspaper sales have
skyrocketed.
Dai I y articles,
complete with maps, show where
the fighting has taken place during the preceding 24 hours. The
Dien Tin Daily, the most critical paper to the Saigon government, h as been c Io s e d for
t.eMoLT\I
th e p as t we e k fo r w r it in g
editorials approaching an aloof, neutral position.
Considerable space is given in the local press
to the casualty figures released by the government.
"Nearly 700 South Vietnamese soldiers died and
3,000 more were wounded" one paper bannered
its front page. A Vietnamese reading the article
remarked, "If that's the official figure, I'm afraid
to know the real number."
Since the beginning of the offensive, rockets
have fallen on the outskirts of Saigon only once,
kjlling seven members of one Vietnamese family.
The rockets were apparently aimed at the military

and blue colored taxis, foot-peddled cycles,
Mercedes and Mazda automobiles. On the sidewalks young women move about in pastel colored
dresses, carrying parasols to shade them from
the sun.
A newly arrived visitor asks, "shouldn't they
be doing something to prepare themselves for the
fighting?" She cannot believe that a war is being
fought here.
Not much has changed her~t least on the
surface-since the offensive began early this
month. The Government has unrolled large red
banners with black letters across most of the
city's main streets in an effort to mobilize the

Lane presents itself
In , conjunction with LCC's on-going efforts to present itself
to the community, "A Concert on the Green" was held on campus
Sun~}Y aft_ernoon. Organized by the Performing Arts Department,
the Concert on the Green" was ironically held in the LCC cafeteria
because of the potential bad weather.
C~ng~esswoman Patsy ~Mink, (D., Hawaii) who was in Eugene
campa1gmng for the Presidential nomination conducted the LCC
concert band in one number. The concert' band played for over
an ho_u r to a crowd that filled the cafeteria.
Another feature in the afternoon's activity was the performance
by the Lane County Auditorium Association's upcoming production, "1776."

Presidential contender featured
at LCC concert
(Editor's Note: TORCH News Editor Bill Dwyer interviewed
Congresswoman Patsy Mink while she was on campus during the
"Concert on the Green" held Sunday afternoon. Portions of that
interview follow.)
Hawaii Congresswoman Patsy Mink, in her campaign for the
Oregon Presidential Primary, spoke at LCC on Sunday afternoon
after appearing in downtown Eugene Saturday.
'
The 44 year old candidate is very vocal on the maln issues in ,
national politics today. She considers her efforts in the Oregon primary as a way of getting a voice at the national Dfimocratic Convention in July for women and minorities.
Ms. Mink recently returned from discussions with the North
Vietnamese and the National Liberation Front in Paris. From those
dis_cussions, attended also by Congresswomen BellaAbzug and Shirley
Ch1ssolm of New York, Ms. Mink got the distinct impression that
if the US announces a "t9tal withdrawal date," then the Communists
would be willing to negotiate a permanent settlement.
About the escalated bombing and the North Vietnamese offensive, Ms. Mink said, ''I predicted it in 1969 when Nixon announced
his Vietnamization plan, and it was absolutely transparent then that
it was a military policy. . .designed only to change the instrument
by which the war is continued."
Regarding the contention by many that if the US withdrew from ·
Vietnam there would be a blood bath, Ms. Mink said, "Our concern
should be no more than the way people grieve over what happens
in Northern Ireland or the way people react to what happened in
Bangla Desh. •I believe that we've done enough really.. .It started
as a civil war, and uncomfortable as it might seem that if we leave
there would be a blood bath, our presence has only compounded it."
Patsy Mink feels that the majority of Americans are unable
to act on the forces that control our lives.
"What they (people) believe or feel is never done. They see
promises that are never fulfilled. There is a very deep sense of
disillusionment and frustration, typical in most Americans' minds.
So my coming into this primary is to show that we can have some
control, we can - we do have a right to express ourselves, and we
can have an effect on what .goes on in this nation."
Ms. Mink is a woman, and she considers herself a member of
a minority because of that. She is also of Japanese heritage and
considers herself an ethnic minority as well.
"We must have a government that will welcome the input
and participation of all our people by recognizing that every individual has an importance all their own."

Status of women
An ad hoc investigating com"
mittee was appointed recently by
the campus Staff Association to
review the status of women at
Lane.
Established by the faculty, the
Status of Women Committee is
composed of Jan Brandstrom,
Karla Schultz, Joyce Salisbury,
Joyce Hops and Mabel Armstrong. These women will review the status of women at
LCC , particularly staff women
in regard to positions, salaries,
promotional aspects and hiring
and termination procedures. The
committee is working with Jonathon West, the equal opportunity
advisor to President Schaf er.
Title VI of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 (the antidiscrimination provision) of the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare
(HEW), and the Presidenti2l Executive Orders prohibit discrimination in employment against
minorities and women. As LCC
is a federal contractor, the institution must comply with HEW
guidelines. Discrepancies from
the guidelines would mean this
institution would stand to lose
federal support if discriminatory policies in hiring were not
changed.

The Walt Disney company won a suit in U.S. District Court
against Specialty Imports Inc. of Tennessee. The court awarded
$15,000 in damages and attorneys fees, and also required the firms
to turn over to the Disney Company all remaining stock to be destroyed. The stock involved was posters,t-shirts, pillows and other
-novelties which depicted the Disney characters in degrading, lewd, and
offensive manners. Among the manners were Mickey Mouse with
a hypodermic needle in his arm, Mickey, Donald Duck and Goofy
sitting hypnotically with each of them puffing on a water pipe, and a
large poster depicting many of the cartoon characters involved in a
sex orgy.

The trial of Angela Davis, charged with ''conspiracy" in the
Marin County Courthouse shootout aimed at freeing the Soledad
brothers entered its ninth week in circuit court in San Jose, California.
The prosecution's thesis on Ms. Davis is that she supplied the
guns, and formulated the plot to free the prisoners. Her motivation,
according to chief prosecutor Albert Harris, an assistant District
Attorney, centered around a deep and passionate love for George
Jackson, one of the Soledad brothers. Ms. Davis' love for Jackson
was so strong, contends the prosecution, that it drove her to organize the conspiracy to free him.
Ms. Davis, in her opening statement to the jury (she is acting
as her own attorney), said that the prosecution's "passion" theory
was vulgar and obscene. Ms. Davis said that 'she was not the victum
of luring selfish passions, but her actions organizing money and
support for the Soledad prisoners, was intended to free all opressed
men and women. "The prosecutor takes advantage of the fact I am
a woman, in typical male chauvinism to attribute such motivation
to my acts."
•
As the trial progressed, the prosecution sought to have letters
written between Ms. Davis and George Jackson introduced as evidence. Certain letters written in June of 1970, were admitted by
Judge Arnason. But the prosecution's clincher, an eighteen page
letter written by Ms. Davis to Jackson, was ruled irrelevent,
The trial has moved on to other matters. The prosecution
wished to introduce transcripts of telephone conversations between
Ms. Davis and her attorney, John Thorne. Ms. Davis argued that
her relationship with Thorne was that of client-attorney, and therefore the conversations were "privileged information,"
The trial is expected to last at least several months and Ms.
Davis is on bail of $100,000 for the remainder of the trial,

The situation in Vietnam continues to deteriorate. The massive
bombing by B-52's has had little visible effect on the North Vietnamese divisions that are pushing their way South, although devastating
firepower is the main characteristic of that flying "fortress."
· By last Tuesday, the North Vietnamese (NVA) had overrun
Quang Tri city, capturing _the major provincial capital and a broad
strip of strategic territory just below the DMZ.
The NVA were pushing continually southward on this front,
with their main objective, Hue, the ancient capital of Vietnam at the
end of Highway 1 which runs between Quang Tri and Hue.
Following the defeat in Quang Tri, President Thieu replaced
Lt. Gen. Hoang Xuan Lam, commander in the region.
In the Central Highlands, the road between Kontum and Pleiku
remains closed and no supplies can get through. The South Vietnamese reopended the road long enough for one convoy to get
through. But the NVA countered and drove the South Viets back
closing the road again.
The offensive slowed down during the week, but officials believe that the NVA are consolidating for a major push into Hue,
and into the cities of Pleiku and Kontum, thereby controlling the
Central Highlands.
•
The road from Hue to Saigon continues to flow with refugees and
deserters from the South Vietnamese Army.. Army deserters looted
stores in Hue before retreating south and rep,orts describe the
situation as desperate.
If the North Vietnamese take Hue in the next few days, they will
have an open .road to Saigon. And the only defense of Hue is an
ill-trained militia and two firebases.
Meanwhile President Nixon has again suspended the peace
talks in Paris. Nixon has also kept open his option of committing
two divisions of U.S. Marines to defend the remaining Americans.
Those divisions are at combat ready.
