Local groups opposing
student apartments
by Paul Waldschmidt & Marty StalickA proposed student housing complex, Fir-Oaks, to be located
directly across from the west entrance of LCC (on the west side of
Gonyea Road) has come under fire from a citizen's group that is
opposed to its construction.
-Spokesman for the group, Ralph Barrett, a Springfield attorney,
explained that the group is opposed to the eonstrurtion of the complex
because they feel that it ' 'goes against the specific intent of the 19!)0
Plan."
Barrett pointed out that the LCC Basin was specific ally excluded
from the plan in order to prevE>nt OVE'r-construction within the basin.

Budget to be
sent to voters
for third time

Contested site
Surveying, minor brush clearing and grading
mark the beginning of construction on a proposed
student housing project within the LCC Basin.
The apartment complex, Fir-Oaks, is to be
located directly across from the west entrance
to LCC 1 on the west side of Gonyea Road.
Construction of the complex drew heavy crit-

icism last April from various groups in the community which charged that its construction violated
the provisions of the 1990 Plan.
This opposition, combined with the legal details
involved in drawing up an agreement to use
LCC 1 s sewage lagoon, has kept work on the
complex confined chiefly to the drawing board.

Council selects delegates to congress
The ASLCC Executive
Council met twice
during the past week and decided to send a
"strongly worded" letter to the ASLCC treasurer concerning his absences at council meetings, to send
the ASLCC
president and
• a TORCH representative to the National Student Association (NSA) in Washington D.C. and
to endorse the Oregon Student Public Interest
Research Group's (OSPIRG)attempt to receive
funding from LCC students for a second year.
At the first meeting of the week Tuesday,
Aug 1, Jack Hart, ASLCC publicity director,
accused Dave Redfox, aSLCC treasurer, of
allowing his political campaign (Redfox is runnning for the House seat of the 39th Legislative
District) to interfere with his duties as hSLCC
Treasurer.
Hart pointed out that the ASLCC is presently
attempting to get its 1972-73 budget passed,
and even when meetings have been called at
Redfox' s convenience he has failed to attend.
Kenny Walker, ASLCC second vice president,
commented that he had to assume the treasurer's duties in his absence and that he does
not have enough time to handle both Redfox's
duties and his own.
Hart suggested since the Senate has no definite guidelines concerning attendance at summer executive council meetings, that "the ASLCC first vice president (Ch1\ck Packnett) send
a strongly worded letter to Redfox" concerning
his lack of attendance at council meetings.
Packnett agreed to send the letter.
Tbe council voted to send Jay Bolton, ASLCC
president, and a TORCH representative
as
two of the four LCC delegates to the NSA
Congress in ·Nashington D. C. Aug. 12 to 18.
The other two delegates, selected earlier are
Walker and Packnett.
The NSA is a convention of delegates of all

colleges in the United States that will establish
student platforms and conduct workshops.
In other business at the Aug. 1 meeting the
council appointed Bolton, Walker, Pa.cknett and
John Leober, health services coordinator, to
investigate retaining a lawyer who will, according to Hart, "devote time to LCC." The
council stated that their present lawyer wasn't
meeting the Senate's needs.
At its second meeting of the week, Thursday,
the council voted to endorse OSPIRG's attempt
to receive another year's funding from LCC
students if OSPIRG would agree to change the
wording of the card they enclose in each student's registration packet requesting a donation.
In the past, the student has had to indicate
on the card that he did not wish to donate or
he would automatically be assessed one dollar
for QSPIRG.
An CSPIRG state representative argued that
by forcing the student to take some action
"he might spend some time thinking of OSPIRG's
responsibility to make themselves known to the
students.
Jay Jones, ASLCC advisor, added that students
shouldn't be assessed the dollar for failing to
act on the OSPIRG card.
OSPIRG agreed to change the wording of the
card so that students would not be assessed
the donation fee if they failed to return the
card to the Registration Desk. The LCC Board of Education must make the final decision
concerning OSPIRG's request for donations from
the students.
In a letter to the LCC Board, Arthur C.
Nelson, OSPIRG liaison, told the Board that
during the next school year OSPIRG plans to
conduct studies of bait and switch practices,
auto repair practices and unit pricing practices in the Eugene area.

LCC will take its twice-cut,
twice-defeated 1972-73 budget
to the district voters once again
Tuesday, Aug. 29.
The college was able to cut 10
cents per $1,000 of assessed
property valuation from the budget request as the result of
receiving a $200,000 Emeregency
Employment Act (EEA) grant.
The college had already projected
$36,000 into the budget, so when
they received the $200,000 EEA
grant they were able to reduce
the buclget request by $164,000
without affecting the budget. The
reduction allowed the college to
request $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed property valuation, 10 cents
less that the amount requested
from the district voter in the
last election, July 18. The $1.50
per $1,000 request is the same
tax request voters approved for
the 1971-72 school year.
In a Wednesday Eugene Register-Guard story Elgeon Johnson,
who administers Lane
County's $1.1 million EEA grant
for the State Employment Division, was quoted as saying that
he did not feel the LCC's use
of EEA funds to lower their
budget by the amount granted
was legal.
Contacted Friday, Richard Eymann, LCC assistant to the president for government affairs,
said that he talked to Johnson
and there is no problem concerning LCC's use of EEA funds.
At a special LCC Board of
Education meeting Wednesday,
July 26, Board member Catherine Lauris said that she had
it on good authority that about
one-half of the LCC staff failed
to vote in the July 18 election.
"We · would have been home f.ree
if they and their families had
voted," she commented.
The
July 18 budget proposal was defeated by a 7,828 to 6,555 tally.
This issue will be the last
issue of Summer Term. The
next issue of the TORCH,
which will be a Fall Term
orientation issue, is scheduled
for Sept. 12. Th~adline for
submitting articles is Sept. 5.

The 1990 Plan 'lttempts to control urban and sub-urban growth
within Lane County by not allo-.v.ing publicly financed utilities to
be extended to certain areas.
The group's opposition has forred the developers of the complex, Gilbert & Saks of Eugene,
to confine their work on the project to the architect's drawing
board, with only some minor
brush-clearing, grading and surveying.
The dispute c amt? before tl1e
Lane Countv Board of Commissioners earlier this year, at an
April meeting when Commissioner Nancy Hayward tried unsuccessfully to persuade her fellow
commissioners to rezone the
area for agricultural use only.
Her rezoning request was defeated 2-1.
Also present at the April m.9eting to object to the construction
of the apartment complex were
members of the Lane County
League of Women Voters, the
Ad Hoc Citizens Committee in
Support of the 1990 Plan, the
Eugene and Springfield Planning
Commission and staff and the
state Department of Environmental Quality.
The property was zoned for
garden apartmt:nts by the county
in 1968.
Commissioner Hayward, echoing four groups'
objections,
claimed that the construction of
the complex "violates the integrity of the 1990 Plan.''
The 1990 Plan has been adopted
by both the Eugene and Springfield city councils and planning
commissions, as well as the Lane
County Board of Commissioners.
Even though Ms. Hayward's
rezoning request that would have
prevented construction of the
complex was defeated, the contractors of the apartment complex have been required to obtain county building permits for
their grading and landscaping
plans.
Because the plan prevents the
extension of a publicly financed
underground sewage system into
the basin, the complex developers
are currently negotiating with
LCC's attorney, Edward Harms,
to share LCC's sewage treatment
lagoons. At this time the developers have not received permission from the college to use the
facility.
Opponents of the complex contend the dumping of additional raw

Registrar outlines

'Jt'.i a(J004Wtt
Tomorrow night the LCC Board of Education is scheduled
to make a final decision, concerning the 1972-73 ASLCC budget
If passed, student body fees will be increased from two td five
dollars per term for full-time students.
We strongly recommend the passage of this budget.
First, the increase would affect only those students taking five :
or more credits, and the full three dollar increase would affect only
full time students. Students taking four cregits would have no increase
and those taking three fewer credits would actually have a decrease
in student body fees, ranging from 50 cents to $1.50 per term.
Secondly, LCC presently has the lowest student body fees of
any community college in Oregon, and, even with the fee increase,
only Chemeketa Community College would have lower student body
fees.
But thirdly, and most importantly, the increased fees would
bring about additional services that would, we feel, far exceed
the increase in fees.
Additional services such as a health service. This service
would provide the student with a part-time doctor, increased lab
facilities, psychological counseling and an expanded referral program. Students presently have an insurance program available
to them but at the rate of $55.15 per year or $14.75 per term.
Of course, the proposed ASLCC health plan cannot provide such
things as major surgery but it can provide services that s~udents
often need that could cost them five dollars or more if they had
to go to a doctor in the community. About 40 per cent of the LCC
students are in the lower income bracket and might not be able
to afford the cost of medical services provided by a doctor in the
community.
The expanded budget would provide such services as one of
the largest athletic programs of any community college in Oregon.
Programs that the athletic department had to drop because of
lack of funds, such as women's tennis, baseball and men's gymnastics, could be reinstated.
Another benefit of the expanded budget would be the construction of club office space in the student lounge areao Most
campus clubs now have no place to establish a liaison with the
student body. The result--poor club participation and in many
instances the failure of some clubs.
Still another benefit is the increased possibility for students
The ·only
to attend conventions, conferences and workshops.
way the LCC student body can expand itself as a competent selfgoverning body is to take advantage of student conventions and
other organizational meetings.
Even the salary increases of the executive cabinet benefit
the students as those student government leaders who best serve
the students are those who have the time--those who don't have
to hold a part-time job to stay in school. A salary also holds
the cabinet member accountable to the ASLCC. There should
be no excuses such as, "I couldn't attend the meeting because
my boss asked me to work overtime."
When Jay Bolton campaigned for student body president three
months ago his proposals aimed specifically at improving student
services in a relevant, visible, accountable manner. And the
student vote indicated an approval for Bolton and his ideas to help
all students--especially those 40 per cent who are in the lower
income bracket.
For them, and for all of us, Bolton's budget for next year
reflects such visible, . accountable, relevant programs. It will
require an increase in student body fees to accomplish it, but an
increase which by comparison to other Oregon community colleges, is far below the normal rate. Tomorrow night the LCC
Board of Education will examine and decide on the budget docuWe strongly recommend the adoption of the document,
ment:
and of a platform which will make visible, accountable, and relevant additions in student services for all LCC students.

lies even if the student attended
Summer Term or any term prior
to Spring Term 1972.
A new student must:
• Complete an LCC a<;lmissions
application form, available at the
Registrar's Office.
• Pay a $10 tuition deposit at
the Business Office in the Administration Building.
• Set up an appointment with a
counselor in the Counseling 0.apartment, after completing the above steps. The counselor will
help the student plan· his class
schedule.
After these steps are completed
a priority registration number will
be assigned the new student. New
students are scheduled to register
Sept. 19-21 in order of their priority numbers.
Returning students will be registered alphabetically

ROIEITSON'S

The Oregon head of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War
(VVA W) has offered the organization's Lane County and LCC chapters'
help in bringing Fourth District congressional candidates John Dellenback and Charles Porter together for a public debate.
Adrian Vaaler, VVAW State Coordinator, said he has written
both candidates with the offer and suggested a date near the end of
September for the meeting.
'' Both candidates have said they would like to see a swift end
to the fighting in Southeast Asia," Vaaler said, adding, "the Vietnam
Veterans Against the War feel the same."
In the letter to the two candidates Vaaler said, " ... since our
personal experience in the Southeast Asia conflict render us truly
affected constituents, we feel that our efforts and participation
towards public discussion of the war are non-partisan and of public
note ...we propose to use our energy, organization and interest in
promoting a public debate between you, the chief candidates for
congressional office from this district."
Vaaler added the VVA W would not endorse any political candidate.
But, one debate between Dellenback and Porter has already
been scheduled. As the result of a letter dated July 27, Dellenback,
responding to an earlier challenge by Porter, suggested that he
and Porter meet in Roseburg for a debate.
In his letter Dellenback suggested that the panel be made up of
news media people and that "one such panelist could be from the
northern part of the district, one from the southern part of the
district, and one from the coastal area." The moderator could be
from the central part of the district. The meeting could be given
the widest possible newspaper, radio and TV coverage obtainable.''
Dellenback's letter and suggestion was in reply to an earlier
suggestion made by Porter that he and Dellenback ban all paid
political advertisements and conduct their campaign by a series
of debates around the Fourth District.
After accepting Dellenback's suggestion for a debate in Roseburg,
Porter said that he was going to ask Dellenback to agree to a proposal
that the two candidates limit their campaign expenditures to $25,000,
according to the Eugene Register-Guard.

Convention not 'representative'
In a recent statement John Dellenback, fourth district Republican congressman, said that Oregon's slate of delegates to the
Republican National Convention is not "broadly representative."
Representative Dellenback noted that among the voting delegates
in the Oregon delegation to the Miami convention there are only two
women, no minorities and nobody under 25.
While pointing -out that some of the alternates were women,
minorities or under 25, he stressed, "We still have a distance yet
to go before we can say the slate is broadly representative."
He went on to say, however, that he doesn't feel that a quota
system of choosing delegates is desirable. "To mandate a certain
quota of groupings of people is counter to the tradition of the Republican Party,,, he stated.
Dellenback claimed that the party's Delegates and Organizations
Committee was working to prevent individuals from being excluded
"because of financial limitations or geographical location or a
lack of information about participation."

Aug. 8, 1972 TORCH Page 3

Bench Slivers
from lex Sahonchik

In the last issue of the TORCH an article
headlined as "Recreational league going at Lane"
passed across my desk and on to the sports page.
The story, written by a TORCH staff member had
to. do ~ith a summer b~sketball program s~t up
primarily for the benefit of high school coaches
and players.

•

The story made me curious enough to decide
to attend one of the sessions. Being familiar with
high school basketball programs, I was prepared
to see a large scale athletic endeavor, faithfully
attended by scores of prep basketball stars.
I was mildly surprised, to say the least, to see
my own brother suited up and playing with the
Churchill team. Now being in the seventh grade
and a touch on the small side for a high school
star I f>egan to question the official purpose of the

basketball program. My suspicions were justified
when I noticed that the Churchill coach was not
the Churchill coach but rather the vice principal.
What it all comes down to is that Lane Community College has initiated a "Little League Basketball Program," more or less. It was a grand
spectacle; frustrated parents shouting for their sons
to destroy the opposition, "coaches" urging their
squads on towards greater heights and even a near
fight between a spectator and a player. The best
entertainment, however, came from watching Lane
P.E. Director Richard Newell doggedly running up
and down court in an attempt to officiate the game.

In all actuality maybe this kind of thing is
what the LCC athletic program needs· more participation by more people. After ;11 this is a
community college.

Analysis offered

Lane student

The Center has devised a system of coding samples in order
to protect the anonymity of the
person requesting analysis. Furthermore, the Center warns all
persons wishing to have a sample
analyzed not to come to the
Center personally with the drug,
but rather, to call the Center at
686-5411 to receive instructions
for submitting the sample anonymously.
The actual analysis of the sample will be done by Pharm Chem
Laboratories in California which
is federally licensed to carry out
analysis on illegal street drugs.
Miller, in a statement to the
Oregon Daily Emerald, stated
that Lane County District Attorney Robert Naslund is "aware of
the service'' but that it is "out
of his jurisdiction" and that
Naslund "doesn't intend tointerfere with the service."

A free drug analysis service
has recently become available to
residents of Lane County.
The service is being offered
by the Associated Students of the
University
of Oregon (ASUO)
Drug Information Center, funded
by the ASUO student government.
Mark Miller, Center director,
stressed that the service is not
_ intended to condone usage of
street drugs, but rather, to make
individuals aware of the dangers
involved in illegal street drugs.
"By analyzing the drugs sub-.
mitted to the project, it will enable us to inform an individual
whether or not the drug he purchased was incorporated
with
hazardous substances, if the drug
he purchased was actually what it
w3:s represented to be," Miller
explained.

than requested by the Nixon Administration and approved by the
House.
Under the new increase a single
veteran attending college or vocational school would receive $250
a month compared to the $175 he
or she now receives. Married
veterans would receive $297 a
month instead of the current $205
and a veteran with one child would
receive $339 compared to the
current $230.
The Chairman of the Veterans
Affairs Committee, Senat.or Van.ce Hartke (D-lnd.), said the increase takes inflation into aceount and is proportionate to what
World War II veterans received.
A veteran is eligible for 36
months of schooling if he served
one year in Vietnam or 18 montbs elsewhere. For less service, the veteran is entitled to
a month and a half of schooling
for each month of service.
Over 1,000 vets were trained
under the GI Bill at LCC during
the 1971-72 school year.

Visit in Oregon changes life

To LCC student, Ron Herman, those children who have what is normally called mental
handicaps are not handicapped at all but have
an advantage because "their heads aren't
messed up with a lot of the problems we have.
Their heads aren't messed up with the war,
prejudice or racism."
Ron speaks from -experience. This summer marks his second anniversary at the
Pearl Buck Center for the mentally retarded
as a teacher's aid.
Ron developed his interest in children in
Vietnam as an Arm~ Medic workin~ in a
pediatrics ward for Vietnamese children.
After being dischar ged from the Army,
Ron worked in the retail business in California but then deci ded to major in speech
therepy in Washington. He stopped in Oregon for two weeks to visit som~ friends
and never left.
While filling his six month residency requirement to qualify for in-state tuition, he
worked at the Pearl Buck Center. Later,
when he enrolled at LCC, he applied for
Work Study and was again able to work at
the Center
He said that working there "is part of my
