Jay Bolton new Student BodJ President

Packnett 1st VP
Ballot count representative
walks out of counting

Jay Bolton, current student body vice-president won the 197273 student bodv oresidential election with 236 votes. His nearest
opponent, Mel Wood, had 147 votes; Bob Gilbreath had 144 votes and
Tom Byrd 140 votes.
Before the election Bolton said, "Having served the last two
terms in Student Government has aided me in discovering some of
its problems, both internal and external." He ?aid the internal
problems had to do with student representatives and the external
problems ran from administration to classifed. He said if elected
". . .(the) bSLCC will mean just that -- Associated Students of
Lane Community College, representing all students."

Controversy Develops

Bolton Elected
Jay Bolton was elected 1972-73 Student Body
President last night in an election that approximately 15 per cent of the student body particiapted.
Bolton is currently the Student Body Vice
President and a disc-jockey for the Black Is
program on KLCC.
The student body polling came under attack
early in the proceedings when students and facul-

ty members brought their grievances to the Student Body President and administration officials about the wording· of the Athletic Funding
proposal.
The Board of Tellers met Monday, early in
the ele<;tions and voted unanimously to reject
the athletic proposal due to criticism that evolved from the wording of this measure.

Board dodges war stand

The L C C Board of education declined Wednesday night to
take a formal stand on recent
developments in the Vietnam situation.
Speaking on behalf of the Student Senate, ASL CC President
Omar Barbarossa urged that the
board pass a resolution making
public their dissatisfaction with
the war.
"I realize as LCC Student Body
President, I have to be cognizant
of public opinion because this is
a public institution," said Barbarossa. "But I don't think the
public would misunderstand this

action by the Board."
Member Robert Ackerman moved that the Board go on record
as "opposing the current escalation of the Vietnam war as a
means of establishing peace in
Asia." The subsequent vote produced a 3 to 3 tie, defeating the
proposal.
In favor of Ackerman's resolution were Chairman Catherine
lauris and Robert Mention, both
of Eugene. Opposing were Dr.
Albert Brauer of Florence, John
Barber of Junction City and Stephen Reid of Fall Creek. Richard
Freeman of Eugene abstained.

Congressional candidate visits LCC
Last Wednesday, James Weaver, Democratic candidate for Congress from the fourth district, was on campus for an informal talk
with students.
Weaver spoke in the fountain area in front of the cafeteria
for several hours during the noon break.
The crowd remained for the most part at about 50 people,
varying at times depending on students schedules.
Weaver spoke of tax loopholes as "welfare for the rich'.
We get mad at the people who are on welfare and are poor, but
not at the people who are on welfare and are rich," said Weaver.
Weaver said on Vietnam, "If I had the power we would have
pulled the troops out of Vietnam long ago. That war wasn't worth
the life of one American."
Weaver thought there should be an elimination of the harsh
laws governing marijuana, and that marijuana should be "decriminalized."
Weaver finished up by saying that he hoped McGovern is the
next president of the United States, and that he personally felt
that 1972 is the year for change.

The major objection to taking a
formal stand was summarized
when Brauer suggested that the
Board doesn't have the facts and
information necessary to make an
intelligent decision in the/matter.

Last night during the ballot count Ray Grisback, ballot count
representative for candidate Tom Byrd walked out of the count,
accusing Omar Barbarossa of defrauding the ballot. Ill feelings
arose when Cindy Forrester, a member of the board of Tellers
reprimanded Grisback for writing on official Board of Teller tau;
sheets. Ms. Forrester explained that Grisback's position was to keep
a separate tally sheet, acting as a check on the Board's tally of
vo~es. The two LCC security guards assigned to the ballot counting
said they saw no fraudulent activities on Barbarossa's part, or
anyone else's.
Chuck Packnett won the 1st Vice President chair with 359 votes
over 247 votes for Dede Neimoyer. Ms. Neimoyer had run on a
Bolton-Neimoyer ticket.
In other voting Tony Rogers was elected 2nd Vice President
by 244 votes over Paddy Reid's 175 votes and Kenny Walker's 157
votes.
In the largest landslide victory of the election David Red Fox
'
.
Loeber and'
elected student body treasurer. John
was unammously
Lee Byers were his opponents. Red Fox was also this year's treasurer until his resignation at the last student government meeting.
Next year's student publicity director will be Jack Hart who
won over Trudy Scott and Lorraine Francis.

Senators Elected
LCC students elected O'dell Carmicle, Ann Gilbreath, David
Swiberg, Steve Leppanen and Dustan E. Johnson as senators at large;
Suzanne Justis as the Home Economics Department senator; Bruce
DeKay as the Business Department senator and Ronald Bridges
as the English Department senator.
The other ballot measures had not been tallied as of TORCH
press time.

Student Senate offers money
for sending Vietnam telegrams
The Student Senate, in their May 10 meeting,
set aside $150 for students to use to send telegrams to any congressional representative about
the Vietnam issue. The telegrams can be pro
or con, but cannot contain more than 25 words.
They will be sent on a first come first served
basis.
The Senate also decided to bring the issue of
the Southeast Asian conflict to ballot, to be
voted on in this week's elections. The vote
result will determine whether or not the LCC
student body will take a stand on the American
involvement in Asia.
other business covered at the May 10 meeting included:
• The proposal of a health services plan
by John Loeber. Loeber requested an increase
of 85 cents per student in student body fees
to cover partial financing of additional health
care services. ASLCC President Omar Barbarossa suggested increasing the fees 40 cents
and obtaining the rest later. The Senate moved
to put the health care monies issue on a manda
tory ballot in this week's elections.
r

• A. move by the Senate to allow any student,
part time or full time, to run for any ASLCC
office, providing petitions have been filed. The
motion passed.
• A Senate sanction to a request to publicize
a rock concert to be held Saturday at Jasper
park. The concert, a benefit for the Aid to
Dependent Children Fund, will cost $2.25 per
person. There will be 25 to 30 kegs of beer
there, and, although it's called "An Archie Bunker for President Concert," it will have no
political inclinations.
• A Senate motion not to supp o rt any
particular political party as a unit.
• The resignation of Treasurer David Red
Fox from the Senate. Barbarossa gave Red Fox's
reason for the resignation as, "Due to the ignorance of some people." Charles Packnett was
appointed active treasurer for the remaining three
weeks of the term.
The next Student Senate meeting will be held
tomorrow at 3 p.m. As with every Senate meeting, it is open to anyone concerned with the Senate
and LCC.

TORCH

May 17, 1972

The innocent bystander

Police and crowd psychology
Lane County Sheriff's Department and the Eugene Police Department seem to have trouble understanding crowd psychology and
perhaps don't even understand what freedom of speech is all about.
Unfortunately, this lack of understanding on their part hurts more
than just them-it hurts every resident of Eugene.
Tuesc-ay night, May 9, about 2,500 Eugene residents gathered
at the Selective Service Building for a peaceful demonstration
a_gainst the Nixon Administration's mining of Haiphong Harbor. Soon
the crowd began marching toward the Internal Revenue Service
office.
After reaching this office a group of about 15 to 20 sheriff's
deputies started firing tear gas on a group of about 50 to 100 protesters who had been separated from the main group.
Absolutely no warning had been given that the tear gas was to
be fired, no police officer had asked the crowd to disperse and the
crowd had, to that point, beGn quite peaceful.
But the unwarranted gassing made the crowd go wild. Many,
unfortunately too many, c.,f the demonstraters forgot their original
purpose and turned on the police force. The police actually caused
the violence that they were sent to prevent.
(The Lane County chapter of the American Civil Liberties
Union accused the police departments of "excessive use of force"
which "had the effect of inciting persons demonstrating peacefully
to consider more radical alternatives." The Reverend Robert Peters, president of the local chapter, said ''the right to freedom of
speech and to peaceably assemble were abridged" by the police. He
accused the police of gassing the crowd in front of the Internal
Revenue Service office ... without any order to dispense and without
any apparent provocation•.. ")
As we watched the police get showered with bottles, rocks and
cans after firing the tear gas we could only think: "Reap what
you sow.''

* * *
Wednesday night, May 10, 2,000 to 3,000 demonstrators gathered at the University's Student Union and marched to the Selective Service Office, the Internal Revenue Service office, the
Honeywell Corporation Building, the IBM Building, the military recruiters' offices, and then to the ROTC Building on campus. The
police made no attempt to harass the marchers - the demonstration was peaceful.

The perspective

of "Agnewism"

The paranoia of the political dissenter, where the governmental abuse of his values seems imminent, is not unique. Act• vocates of duty and patriotism are equally fearful, for they perceive
their positions as being threatened. •
From the perspective of "Agnewism," most (if not all) of the
worthwhile principles have been sabotaged by communism. The
United States' role in world affairs is, to the hard-line American
patriot, one of necessary supremacy, and the survival of his lifestyle is seen as a continual battle against insurgence.
The key is fear - and it is saturated in ignorance - fear
of the unknown. We would do well to remember that this pious
attitude toward change and free will abounded prior to the American
Revolution, and only blossoms again when the people's values are
deemed "out of the question" by their rulers.
"Love it or leave it" would sound so much more credible
coming from the Kremlin.

Hubert-Our first lady's man
by Arthur Hoppe
Washington, Jan. 20, 1973 - Hubert Humphrey moved into the White House today.
Mr. Humphrey to 1d reporters President
George Wallace could count on his loyalty.
"President Wallace is a fine American," he said,
''whose fine stand on busing I have always supported among many other fine stands on busing."
Mr. Humphrey accompanied his attractive wife, Muriel, who bade history by being
elected the Nation's First Lady last November.
The need to elect the First Lady, rather than
leaving the important office to chance, became
apparent early in the Presidential campaign.
In the past, candidates' wives delicately
shunned the position, saying in ladylike fashion
that they were certainly for their husbands being elected President, if that's what they wanted, but implying they'd much prefer living in a
tiny cottage somewhere, baking brownies.
But this time, the candidates' wives were
out actively campaigning for the job . .
"I know what I could as First Lady," Mrs.
Humphrey declared as early as last May. "I
know what it would mean if I came back as First
Lady to the projects I have visited as a campaigner. I've made a lot of promises around the
country that I hope to keep!"
The XXVII Amendment, making the office
elective, was vigorously supported by Women's
Lib and those hoping to enliven an otherwise
dull campaign. It was quickly ratified by the States.

**

*

Washington, Jan. 21-The newly-elected First
Lady told a crowded press conference today she
planned to "employ Hubert's capabilities to the
fullest" in his unofficial role as First Lady's
Man.
"I feel he is perfectly able to take over many
of the traditional duties of the First Lady, such
as conducting television tours of the White House

and p resenting bouquets to delegations from
poverty-stricken areas," she said, "freeing me
for more important tasks."
Mr. Humphrey, smiling bravely, later told a
group of women reporters that he was ''very
happy to be in the White House at last" and
that he was working plans to redecorate the place.
"I do like excercise," he said, "don't you?"
Me;rnwhile, rumors circulated of friction between the Nation's two First Families at their
initial breakfast together this morning.
Mr. Humphrey reportedly complained that his
third-floor b e ct r o om had no window and was
overly-crowded with brooms and dust-pans.
President Wallace is said to have replied that
Mr. Humphrey was "nothin' but a pointy-headed
Lady's Man.''
At the same time, a spat developed between Mrs. Humphrey and Mrs. Wallace over
who should plan the President's daily menus.
The two have been at odds since last summer's bitter campaign for First Lady, when Mrs.
Humphrey accused Mrs. Wallace of being "too
inexperienced and uncultured" and Mrs. Wallace
retorted that Mrs. Humphrey was "too old for
the job."
L.ate today, the White House announced that
Mr. Humphrey, as First Lady's Man, would plan
the White House menus "in full consultation with
Mrs. Humphrey and Mrs. Wallace.''

* * *
Washington, January 22 - Mr. Humphrey left
the White House, bag and baggage, today, filed
suit for divorce and announced he would henceforth devote his energies to repealing the XXVII
Amendment.
"It was easier," he said grimly, "being Vice
President under Lyndon Johnson."

Dear Mr. Cudahey;
Thank you for your recent expression of concern regarding the
latest turn of events in Southeast Asia. That same concern
was mirrored in two days of
meetings (April 19-20) of the
House Democratic Caucus. The
four-hour meeting of April 20
culminated in the approval, by a
vote of 144-58, of the following
resolution:
RESOLVED, that it is the sense
of the Democratic Caucus of the
House of Representatives that in
the 92nd Congress of the House
of Representatives that the re-

cent bombings of North Viet nam represent a dangerous escalation of our role in the Indochina war and a direct contradiction of the Administration's
stated policy of "winding down"
the war;
RESOLVE F UR THE R, that
the national interest in obtaining a permanent peace with security would best be served by
promptly setting a date to terminate all US military involvement in and over Indochina, subject only to obtaining the release
of our prisoners of war and all
available information on the missing in action;
RESOLVED F UR TH E R, that
the Democratic Caucus of the
House of Representatives hereby directs the Democratic Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee to prepare and
report within 30 days legislation

Dear Mr. Cudahey:
Thanks very much for your recent telegram concerning the war
in lndochma.
As you probably know by now,
the House Democratic Caucus approved a resolution calling upon
the House Foreign Affairs Committee to report a bill within
30 days that sets a terminal date
on American involvement in Indochina, conditioned on 1y upon
agreement for the release of
prisoners of war, and calls a
halt to the bombing in North Vietnam. I strongly supported this
resolution, and I hope the letter

The eleven member State Board of Forestry,
which is responsible for "supervising all matters of forest policy and management under the
jurisdiction of this state .... " is composed entirely of individuals with financial interests in
"the production _or manufacture of forest products."
John Parkhurst states, in "Who's Keeping
Tabs on our Trees?" (OSPIRG Impact April 1972),
that the Board is unrepresentative of the general
public. "There are no conservationists, no outdoors men, no housewives, no recreationists, no
ecologists, no biologists, or no e x p e rt s in
watershed management."
In the area of routine state
business, timber interests are
well represented. Strong lobrl\uni.q.by groups, voters from Iog,CrrffJ-~-yging communities, and the
huge pulp and paper industries far outweigh the conservat~onists in questions of
financial interest.

'The French Pete controversy has managed. in '.
a relatively short time, to become responsible
for a wide split in the Oregonians' view of their
forests.
On one hand, there is clearly an economic
necessity for forest harvesting. No one can deny
that the timber industry is our bread and butter;
in this area it accounts for more paychecks than
anything else.
On the other hand, the people of Oregon have
grown increasingly aware of the fact that no amount
of money can compensate for the loss of their
natural heritage. They have spoken out in an attempt to sway the fiscal mentality, banging heads
with the powers that be (forest products interests,
labor organizations, and the government officials
impelled to represent them), and usually they come
away defeated. b.fter all, no money is made from
trees that just stand there.
It would be worth remembering, however, that
the French Pete dispute has become more than a
difference of opinion. It will neither make nor
break the lumber industry; we aren't talking about
all the trees in the state. It's not even a good-sized
chunk of Oregon's timber. The job market isn't
going to wither and perish if it isn't logged.
By the same token, it's doubtful that an army
of summertime campers will have nowhere to go
if French Pete is logged.
No, the whole matter is something quite beyond
being a logical argument. The facts surrounding
the controversy are incapable of accounting for
the heated debates, the torrid feelings that have
plagued the notion of logging this hitherto untouched valley. It has evolved to the ageless position of "It's the principle of the thing."
Where custom and tradition are concerned, the
"do's" have a weighty advantage. Outside of
some fishing, farming and ranching, forestry has a
stranglehold on our sense of perspective. Forestry

Eight Eugene-based peace groups held a
joint press conference in the Eugene Hotel
Thursday to take a stand against the Nixon
administration's recent mining of Hiaphong Harbor.
The eight groups represented were the Eugene

Council of Eugene, Peace Investors of Eugene,
Students' Union Against the War, Vietnam Veterans A1rainst the War. the Council of the Poor.
a University faculty group against the war,
(which is now in the formulative stage), and the
Guerilla Theatre.
Dennis Gilbert, representative for Students'
Union Against the War, said his group supports
"and will help with all demonstrations which
show support for the Inda-Chinese and show
disapproval of US war policy and the institutions that aid the war.''
He accused the government of lying to the
people and said the Eugene-Springfield news media
do not give enough information about the war:
To overcome this problem he said his group

(Editors note: the following is a history of the Vietnam Veterans Against
the War prepared by Adrian Vaahler, state chairman of the group. It is
reprinted by permission of the Sensor, USA, the Lane County/LCC VVAW
newspaper)
by Adrian Vaahler
Perhaps a short history of Vietnam Veterans Against the War would
provide valuable insight into our organization. The VVA W was first organized
in New York City by a group of five Vietnam Veterans in 1967. They open~d a
national office in 1968 with the membership at 600 Vets. VVAW founded the
an underground newspaper -Vietnam GI -and sent 500 Vets (eventually) into
the McCarthy campaign. Sending 50 delegates to the Democratic Convention
(one from each state) to present our ideas, VV AW was gassed along with
the other delegates.
The organization had to reorganize. It began to be active again during
the moratoriums of late 1969. During the invasion of Cambodia and the
shootings at Jackson State and Kent State, VVAW members led demonstrations on several campuses across the coutry.
At the same time it moved into VA hospitals to help Vets who were
threatened with disciplinary action for signing anti-war petitions.
On Labor Day weekend 1970, VVAW conducted " Operation RAW" (Rapid
American Withdrawal), a 4-day, 86-mile simulated "search and destroy
mission" -- in jungle fatigues--from Morristown)· N.J., to Valley Forge, Pa.
One hundred and fifty Vets made the march.
Then after helping found a series of local war crimes hearings i n 13
cities, VVAW conducted on Jan. 31 - Feb. 2, 1971 in Detroit, Michigan, the
Winter Soldier Investigation into U.S. war crimes in Indochina. This honest
attempt to awaken Americ an consciences and, in addition, a well-placed
Playboy magazine advertisement, brought more Vi etnam Vets together-the total membership was 8,500.
During the week of April 18-z;, 1971, the VVAW sponsored Dewey Canyon
III, a limited incursion into th,:: country of Congress. Close to 1,500 Vets
attended thP rlemonstration, whic h was a symbolic gesture of our remorse:
We returned our medals to the V1 hite House.
John Kerry, the VVAW national spokesman, testified before the Foreign
Relations Committee shortly after the demonstration: Kerry's views are the
views of the VV AW membership.
''. . . to make more clear than ever our own determination to undertake one last mission--to search out and destroy the last vestige of
this barbaric war, to pacify our own hearts, to conquer the hate and the
fear ~hat have driven this country these last ten years and more, so

ublicized much more than the event itself in which thousands of Vets, many

gress passed a law raising the
federal tax on telephone service
to ten per cent. At that time
Wilbur Mills, chairman of the
House Ways and Means Committee stated, "It is clear that
Vietnam and only the Vietnam
operation makes this bill necessary."
Ms. Gray said that the telephone tax is like any federal
tax; it goes into the general
fund, but the reason it is a
war tax is because it was raised to cover the additional cost
of escalating the War in 1966.
When asked whether the telephone tax was a direct war tax,

Shade said that as he remembered the telephone tax was passed during the time when the
war was being escalated, but as
far as the IRS was involved, it

was just an excise tax, and that
the IRS only coliected taxes that
the Congress passed. He said he
had no idea where the taxes go.
Ms. Gray said that over the
past few years many people have
been refusing to pay tax and
many groups have sprung up across the nation to coordinate
and encourage this form of civil
disobedience.

Women for peace
by Linda Collins

''a community-based organization which works for peace solely
by non-violent means," the Women's International League for Peace
and Freedon (WILPF) was formed in 1915 at an international conference during the ·first world war.
In a telephone interview with the Eugene WILPF co-chairwomen
Wednesday, it was learned that the WILPF is very active in the
community efforts towards peace:
eanti-war Mother's Day cards drawn by Vietnamese children
have been sent to Congressmen and senators;
• a Mexican Fiesta at Central Presbyterian Church with
Chicano women from Nysa, Oregon, is slated, with proceeds going
towards a clinic sponsored by the WILPF and the Chicano women;
eieaflets
against the war were passed out all day Saturday,
May 13. More leaflets will be distributed this week -- interested
community members are asked to help by picking up the material
at the Peace Center, 119 E. 10th St., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.;
eanti-war . vigils are held every Friday from 11:30 to 12:30
at the fountain area of the Mall;
equestionnaires regarding stands on civil rights, women's
rights, the war, and prison inmate treatment have been sent to
election candidates;
ethe week of April 22 brought a peace vigil by the League

mine North Vietnam waters, Udall said McGovern had called
the move "tragic" and said he
had asked himself "what are
we doing half way around the
w o r 1d risking nuclear war?"
Udall said -he felt that Nixon
had put himself in the same nonbargaining position that President Johnson had been in, iii
1968 and said he felt Nixon should
follow Johnson's example and
step down.
Udall stated that most of McGovern's plans call for a major
shift in the priorities of the
country. With this in mind, he
said, McGovern has proposed
an "alternate military budget"
that would cut the large present
military budget and provide funds
for what he calls ''People Programs," These programs would
deal with such things as education and welfare, said Udall.
He stated that the federal government should provide one third
of the money for operating local
schools.
On environmental issues Udall
said it is the "biggest paradox

that when wealth and science was
going up hill, cities were going
down." He said that the Space
program was wrong and that the
funds could better be spent on
problems within the country,
Speaking on McGovern's campaign, Udall said "I am convinced he will go all the way
and be nominated." He compared
the McGovern campaign to that
of Wendall Wilke and said that
this will be the most exciting
and interesting campaign of recent years,
When asked why he had joined
the campaign, Udall said "I am
into the campaign trip to show
that Senator McGovern has mainstream Democratic support. Udall is currently on a campaign
tour of the Western states.

took the first place title in the
Lane hosted Region 18 Junior
College track and field championships last weekend. A 1 t ho u g h
Lane won the meet, it may be
the end of the season for the
Titans.
The school policy which forbids national competition is still
in effect, although efforts by the
Board of Education are being
considered to change it. However, if the policy is not changed
in time none of the Lane trackmen will be able to compete in
the nationals later this month
in Mesa, Arizona.
Lane took the lead in the meet
following t he mile run. Randy
Griffith and Bill Cram finished first and second, and LCC
never looked back. Cram, ·Griffith, and Dale Hammitt took the
first three places in the threemile run and Dennis Hilliard and
Dan Van Camp went one-two in
the 880 to put the frosting on
the cake.
Blue Mountain Community College gave the Titans an early
scare in the sprints when the
Timberwolves scored 32 points
in the 100, 220 and 440 yard
dash.
Steve Maryanski picked up first
p I ace honors in the javelin,
throwing 207 feet 6 3/ 4 inches
into a strong wind. Mark Dubose and Tom Martin grabbed
second and third in the 120 high
hurdles.

Seven meet records were set
over the weekend in the discus,
high jump, pole vault, high hurdles, triple jump, 100 yard dash,
and 440 yard dash. Both Mark
Debose and Torn Martin broke
the previous record of 15.2 seconds in the 120 yard hurdles,
Debose and Martin finished in

LCC's Steve Maryanski, rec~ntly rated second nationally in
the javelin at the community college level by Spike and Bar, a
magazine published by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NAJJ), stated that he
has but one main hope and goal -becoming first in the nation in
the javelin.
Earlier this year Maryanski
showed plenty of promise in
Coach Al Tarpenning's under-

manned field team by ranking
fourth in the nation with a toss
of 204 feet 9 inches in a Roseburg meet. Just recently he has
earned the second place berth
in the nation by uncorking an
amazing 227 foot 9 inch throw
which is just 8 feet 9 inches
off the 236 feet 9 inch record
set by a student in New Mexico.

Penny Shoop smashes
women's long iump
record in track meet
by Sharon Cuddie

Under sunny spring skies
Thursday afternoon, Penny Shoop
broke the Lane women's Track
and Field long jump record by
jumping 16 feet 8 1/4 inches-seven inches over the previous
record. The Lane women placed
first in five of the twelve events;
however, the University of Oregon took first place with 56
points, Lane placed second with
50 points, and Portland State
finished third with 19.
Several other Lane women
broke their own personal records
in this final home meet of the
season. They include Kristy Phillips, long jump, 15 feet 9 1/4
inches and high jump, 4 feet
10 inches; Peggy Sullivan, discus,
110 feet 7 3/ 4 inches and shot
put, 32 feet IO 1/2 inches; Penny Shoop, high jump, 4 feet 11
inches; and Lorraine Hein, shot
put, 41 feet. Friday and Saturday
the team will travel to Central
Washington College in Ellensburg
for the Northwest College Women's Sp o rt s A s soc i at ion
Championships.

Maryanski started throwing the
javelin in the eight grade, but
wasn't able to compete because
administration regulations didn't
allow junior high students to
throw the javelin in track meets.
However, because 9f his interest
in the javelin and his coach's
encouragement,
he practiced
anyway.
Upon leaving junior
high Maryanski attended Thurston High School in Springfield
where he played football and
threw the javelin. Never receiving any outstanding player rewards for his participation in
high school track, he was, neverthe-less, offered a scholarship
from Southern Louisiana Univerity and several invitations from

schools around the state of
Oregon, but in the end decided
to attend Lane because "it had
a lot to offer and I wasn't really
sure what I wanted to do."
"I've always had a strong arm
and throwing the javelin has always come really easy and has
always interested me," he continued.
Maryanski attributes
much of his success to his form,
interest, and the excellent LCC
coaching.
He keeps in shape by lifting
weights during the winter and
before spring training he runs and
starts throwing the javelin
lightly.
Besides his training Maryanski
stated that the d~dication and personal interest of Lane's Coach
Al Tarpenning is one of the main
reasons why he and Lane have
done so well this year.
"Coach Tarpenning shows a
personal interest," explained
Maryanski, "in each one of the
team members. He takes films
of the events and works hard
to improve."
Maryanski expressed his real
disappointment in not being able
to attend the finals in Mesa ,
Arizona this year. LCC policy
won't allow LCC athletes to advance past the regional tournaments at the present (see Board
meeting story, page 1).
"Everybody sets their goals
and dreams of reaching the top
sometime,"
stated the disappointed
Maryanski,
who

qualified Saturday at the Regional
18 tournament with a toss of
207 feet, 6 3/4 inches. 1 'It's
knowing that you will never be
able to reach those goals that
is really disappointing,"

May~ 1972

• This Week
The office of Health, Education, and Welfare told the multibillion dollar soap industry that it would have to stick with polluting
phosphates and toxic caustic laundry detergents until nitrilotriacetic
acid (NTA) was proved safe. NTA is the acid used in so-called
non-pollutant soaps. A panel of nine non-government scientists
told HEW that a review of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) studies still
left unasnwered safety questions.

Robert Ackerman has been an
outspoken and energetic member
of the LCC Board of Education.
Today he is running for the State
Legislature from Springfield.
Ackerman is a lawyer by profession and has functioned as
legal counsel for the University
of Oregon student body.
Since first appointed to the LCC
Board, Ackerman has spoken
strongly for student participation
in the affairs at LCC -- including active membership on administrative committees. Thus
he characterizes himself not as
a liberal or conservative, but
as a "Populist" -- one who works

to change the quality of peoples'
everyday lives.
Ackerman sees these "problems" in light of the individual:
Adequate streets and street lighting as opposed to highways; or
gasoline tax going to people instead of ribbons of concrete across the landscape. ''People
are benefited less by tourism and
more by adequate street lighting," Ackerman said.
Ackerman supports many ofthe

liberal solutions to problems i_

of laborers to unionize; he advocates liberalizing laws regarding marijuana, although he

hesitates to legalize the drug
without some restraints; and he
is a strong advocate of women's
rights and the right of a woman
to have, or not have, a baby.
Ackerman also feels that welJare reform is necessary but

Grading proposal submitted
A proposal has been submitted
to the Instructional Council at
LCC to do away with all D and
F grades, and substitute them
with a NC (no credit), or W
(withdrawal). This would also
affect Pass-No-Pass, requiring a
C grade for a Pass in a subject, rather than the D grade
now required.
The proposed grading change
was submitted by Karla Schultz, a
Language Arts Department insturctor who said that the proposed change would benefit LCC
by establishing higher standards
at the s ch o o 1, eliminate the
punitive aspects of a F grade,
and restore meaning to PassNo-Pass. The modified grading
system would not allow a student to get below a 2.00 GPA.
Ms. Schultz went on to say that
similar p 1ans have been suggested at Lane in the past., but
they were not implemented as

school policy, but that a similar
grading system is being used now
by the University of Oregon.
Ms. Schultz explained that it

Since the Black Panther Party had a severe split last year
between Huey Newton, who advocated organizing through the system's
guidelines, and Eldridge Cleaver, who advocated armed revolt,
nothing was heard from Cleaver's faction. Cleaver himself was in
exile in Algeria during and after the split, and remains there.
Newton's faction, or commonly the official party, now works through
civil rights groups and churches. They have even opened a shoe
factory in San Francisco. Last week, however, it became clear
that Cleaver's faction was still alive. Anthony Bottom, convicted
on a variety of charges and now in a California prison, said that
he and other members of the "Black Liberation Army" are in fact
members of Cleaver's group. He linked the "army" to a variety
of killings, bombings, and assaults as well as robberies. Bottom
said there were 200 members of the Black Liberation Army in
the nation. "Guys like executioners. They move across the country.
They are very fast. They pull a bank job here one day and the next
day, they turn up in New York."

Dear Editor:
It has been brought to my attention that Mr. Jay West is running for delegate to the Democratic Convention for 1972. From
my experience with this man and
the people he employs, I seriously doubt that he would represent the people of Oregon
at the convention.
Mr. West has owned KZELFM for over a year now and
during that time he has paid most
of his full time employees far
below minimum wage. On many
occasions he has neglected to

to attend the free graduation
banquet on June 4. (See graduation article).
This month each student on the
GI Bill will receive an IBM
attendance card with his check.
It is very important that these
cards are filled out and sent
to the VA in Portland promptly
in order that the next month's
check arrive on time. If there
is any question, the VA office
on campus will be happy to help
fill out the cards, or answer
any question regarding VA benefits.

Monday Ken Kesey will be at
LCC on the north lawn in front
of the center building to speak
on behalf of MELO.

For the year

of 1971, Mr. West did not deduct any Federal or State income taxes from most of his employees wages. This meant that
many of the employees owed taxes at the end of the year that
should have been taken out by
Mr. West at the time of payment of the wages.
Mr. West has been making
promises about the amount ofwages the employees would receive
and has failed in many cases to
pay that amount or to make up
.
for the amount missed.
Mr. West also made promises
to the Federal Communications
Commission about how many1

would be on KZEL-FM. Mr. West
has not come through with most
?f these . promises and now is'
1~v_o~ved m so many political ac-!
tlVlhes that the responsibility ofi
building KZEL-FM into what h~
promised is being sloughed of~
onto his under-paid, over-worked
employees.
These facts may not mean much1
to the voters of Oregon but when
they are added to the fact that Mr . 1
West is a California-born wealthy business man, a sou; taste
