LCC-1967
This is how LCC 1 s Administration Building
and Gymnasium looked sometime in late 1967
or early 1968. LCC was located in downtown
Eugene from its opening in 1964 to 1968. The
present campus was built at a cost of 20 million

dollars.
LCC also has "extention campuses>'
in Florence, Cottage Grove, Junction City and
Oakridge. Tuition is $90 per term or nine dollars
per credit hour up to 10 hours.

TORCH to be twice-week~y

Jack Anderson to garnish editorial page
Jack Anderson, a record review column, current campus news, news from other campuses
throughout the state and country, a column about
chess I and a weekly feature about people who
change things are just some of the regularly
scheduled articles planned for this year's LCC
student newspaper, the TORCH, which is beginning its eighth year of publication.
Jack Anderson and his Washington Merrygo-Round, the watchdog of the government, has
caught the public attention and won Anderson
the Pulitzer Prize for reporting.
Dave Chance, KLCC music director and cohost of the "Morning Show," will write a regular review column on current albums.
" Catalytic People '' will be a weekly feature
about LCC people who change things or cause
things to be changed will be written by TORCH
editor Jim Gregory. But, most of the 8 to 12
pages of the TORCH will contain current news
stories about LCC events and people.
The TORCH , on the newstands by 1 p.m.
every Tuesday, will also be the newspaper to
read for information on campuses throughout
the state and the country.
Plans are now being formulated to publish
the TORCH twice weekly with special feature
supplements published several times throughout
the year. The staff hopes to begin its twice
weekly publication either in late November or the
beginning of Winter Term. The first supplement,
about local and national political candidates,is
scheduled for publication Oct. 31.
To get where it is now the TORCH has undergone many changes and many staffs. The first
TORCH was published Nov. I, 1965 as an eight
page monthly. The lead story of the first paper
was about then Oregon Governor Mark Hatfield
presenting a charter to LCC. That edition also
contained a story about the new campus that
was to be built on 30th Avenue (LCC was located
in downtown Eugene until 1968.) The first issue
was not named TORCH, but "Name the Newspaper." Some of the suggested names for the
paper were Lane Life, Lane Community Broadcaster and College Caper. The second {ssue was
named TORCH but with no explaination.

In the Fall Term of 1966 the paper became
a four page weekly and in Winter Term of the
same year changed its size from tabloid (the
present size of the TORCH) to standard (the
size of the Eugene Register-Guard). At that
time the paper was written on campus but the
stories and headlines had to be set, the photos
screened, and the paper pasted up at the Springfield News because the TORCH had no equipment of its own.
At the end of Fall Term 1967 the paper was
again reduced to a four page weekly tabloid and
remained that size until Fall Term 1969 when it
became an eight page weekly, its present size.
Today's TORCH staffers have the opportunity
to learn far more about newspaper journalism than
did the early journalism students at LCC because
the newspaper owns all of its own equipment to
set copy and headlines, and has complete paste
up facilities and a fully equipped darkroom. LCC
also offers journalism classes that teach students
the fundamentals of straight news ' and feature
writing, copy and news editing, and the use of
production equipment. This Fall Term two Newswriting I classes are offered;· one is offered .
from 10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays
(TLN-SEC number 1341-01, course number J216)
and the other one from 1 to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays
and Fridays (TLN-SEC number 1341-02, course
number J216). Those who enroll in either of the
two newswriting classes must also take Newswriting Lab, but the lab is scheduled for the
same times as above but on Monday so that
students will have no scheduling problems with
the two classes. Both labs have course number
J215; the TLN-SEC number for the 10 to 11 a.m.
class is 1340-01 and 1340-01 for the 1 to 2 p.m.
class.
Also offered to those with journalism experience is News Editing (TLN-SEC 1401-13,
course number J218) from 10 a.m. to noon every
Thursday. Prerequisite for this class is Newswriting I or equivalent experience. This class
will write and edit supplements for the TORCH,
such as the one scheduled in October on political
(continued on page four)

On September 6 the LCC Board of Education gave unanimous
consent to the ASLCC's proposal to raise student body fees by three
dollars a term for full time students and to the Senate' s proposed
1972- 73 budget. The Board also voted to send Ben Kirk's proposed
Science In Your Life course back to the instructional staff and
administration for course outline modi fication.
Students will now pay 50 cents per credit hour, to a m-aximum
of 10 hours (a f ull time student) instead of a flat two dollar student
body fee.
The i ncrease in student body fe es, pl us an anticipated increase
in bookstore and vend i ng machine recei pts and a cash carryover
from the 1971-72 school year will increase the ASLCC's annual
budget from l ast year's $58,400 to $106,300. (See break down of
budget, pages 6& 7.)
Board Chairman Robert Mention, in discussion of the proposed
budget, sai d he was concerned about the amount of the increase
pr oposed without some i ndication from the students as to what they
desired.
John Loebe r , student health services coordi nator, replied that
even though the TORCH had published an ar ticle (June 27) explaining
the budget and t he fees inc r ease no students had come to any of the
weekl y executive cabinet mee tings this summer to protest the
budget incr ease.
Mention r et orted no citizens had attended the Board meetings
this yea r to protest
~CC's budget either, but they kept voting it
down anyway,
The Boar d voted to send Kirk' s proposed science cou r se back
for modification after learning that the Oregon Board of Education
had refused to grant transfer credit or state financial reimbursment
for the science course as presently proposed.
It was at the LCC Board's last meeting, Aug. 9, that they
had decided to offer the course on an experimental basis. At the
end of Fall Term the cou-rse and instructor were to undergo a full
evaluation by an independent evaluation committee.
Carrol deBroekert, Oregon Board of Education associate superintendent, explained in a letter that Kirk's course was turned down
because a student enrolling in the class may not " ...be receiving
actual transfer credit instruction in a science class."
deBoekert continued: ''The course, as outlined, simply fail s
to provide the general science foundations one would normally
expect from the science curricula."
But, he added, LCC "can still offer the course as a non-statereimbursable and a non-credit course if the college Board wishes
to do ;:;o and subsidize it from local resources." Dr. Eldon Schafer,
LCC president, told the Board that it would cost LCC $11,200 of its
own money to finance the course.
Board member Robert Ackerman told the Board that the University of Oregon offers similar courses for credit, and added,
"It seems that the price of innovation is pretty steep."
The Board then approved a motion "To refer the course
Science In Your Life back to the instrqction staff and the administration, and request a consultant on science from the State Department of Education to cooperate in modifying the course outline
of this course so that it will meet requirements for transfer credit
and reimbursement through the State Department of Education."
Only John Barber dissented.
In other business the Board voted to place on the Nov. 7
general election ballot a proposal to raise the LCC tax base to
$2.6 million dollars. The present tax base is $1. 79 million dollars.
A tax base is the amount of money LCC, or any other public
agency, can levy every year without a vote of the taxpayers. And,
under the Oregon Constitution this tax base may be increased by
six per cent each year without a vote of the people.
Schafer told the Board that the voters have indicated by vote in

GI B.ill delayed but yet to come

Veterans attending school under the GI Bill may yet receive an increase in benefits
although not as much nor as_soon
as earlier expected.
Many vets hopes of larger
monthly educational allowances
were raised last month as the
US Senate unanimously passed
a measure increasing payments
from the present $175 to $250
a month for a single vet.
A measure increasing veterans
benefits to $200 a month for a
single vet had been passed earlier this summer by the House
of Representatives. Because of
the differences in the House and
Senate bills, it had been assumed

that the measure would be sent
to a conference committee to
work out a compromise. According to the Washington D.C. office of Fourth District Congressman John Dellenback this was
not the case: the old bill, because of the great differences,
was instead killed and a new
compromised bill was introduced
in the House. The new bill is
now being worked on in the House
Committee on Veteran Affairs.
Dellenback's staff said they
were confident that substantial
increases in benefits will be in
the new bill, but the final increase is expected to be closer

TORCH

Sept. 12, 1972

The ASLCC has finally, after four months of planning and explaining, received approval from the LCC Board of Education for
the 1972-73 student government budget. They can now get down to
implementing their proposed programs which we feel will benefit
all students.
The se·nate's Executive Cabinet should ,be congratulated for
the tremendous amount of time and work devo~ this budget-that
is, all should be congratulated except one. And this one, because he
put personal gain before the duties he was elected to perform,
could have spelled defeat for the budget.
David Red Fox, ASLCC treasurer, failed to attend any of the
Board meetings at which the budget was discussed and failed to
attend budget planning sessions that were, according to the Executive Cabinet, scheduled at his convenience.
Already, because of his failure to attend the planning sessions,
the programs outlined in the budget have probably been delayed.
Had Red Fox been available to help work out some problems in
the budget it's possible the Board would have approved the budget
in early August instead of shortly before classes were scheduled
to begin.
Earlier this summer the Cabinet had to instruct the ASLCC
First Vice President to send a '' strongly worded'' letter to Red
Fox concerning his absences at cabinet meetings.
Red Fox, who is running for the House seat of. the 39th Legislative District reportedly told a member of the Cabinet he is
unable to attend the meetings because he doesn't have a manager
for his campaign. He told the TORCH that as soon as he does find
a manager he will be able to devote more time to his duties as treasurer. But, he also told the TORCH that he didn't feel it was his
responsibility to see that the budget got passed.
''It's the President's responsibility to see that his budget is
passed; they just gave me the information and I drew it up," he
explained.
That's the point-who knows best how the budget is constructed?
Certainly ASLCC President Jay Bolton knows why senate proposed
programs should be implemented but it's the treasurer's duties
to explain why the program needs the amount of money being requested because he is supposed to be the expert on finances.
Red Fox also told the TORCH that should he win the election
in November he will be forced to resign from the Student Senate. We
suggest that he submit his resignation now. The students and the
Senate need time to find someone who will devote the required time
to the job , and who can give the students something for the $350
tuition they pay the treasurer.
If Red Fox refuses to resign until he sees the outcome of his
campaign then the Senate owes it to the students to ask for his
resignation.

Year end quota set

Ceiling listed
for draft call

The Selective Service System
announced Friday, September 1,
that the draft lottery number
ceiling for the last three months
of the year will be RSN 95.
Men with lottery numbers through
RSN 75 are being inducted in
August and September. The yearend ceiling of RSN 95 assures
almost three-fourths of the men
who faced induction during 1972
that they will not be called this
year.
Approximately 15,900 men will
be inducted during the OctoberDecember period, with the majority of inductions taking place
in October and November. All
available men with RSNs of 95
and below will be selected for
alternate service in civilian jobs
at the same time.
All eligible men with RSNs
of 95 and below who become
available for induction or alternate service after midNovember, when the last induction orders for 1972 are to be
mailed, will be liable for induction or alternate service during
the first three months of 1973
should there be calls during that
period. The inductions for the last
three months of 1972 will bring
the total of men inducted into
the Army in 1972 to approximately 50,000, the number which
Secretary of Defense Melvin
Laird indicated would be required during 1972. More than 94,000
men were inducted during 1971;
163,500 in 1970.

'Is that all sir?'

Teresa Fulmer, is one of the many clerks in the Student Book
Store who will be helping students like Dale Smith spend their
hard earned summer money over the next couple of weeks.
The Bookstore, located on the second floor of the Center
Building, offers a large selection of new and used textbooks, plus
several additional services.
The texts are grouped according to departments and course
numbers, so all one must do to find a textbook is follow signs
posted over the book shelves indicating book categories.
Used texts are sold for 25 per cent of the original price. To
return a book, one must present the book receipt no later than
three weeks after the beginning of the term in order to receive a
full refund.
Among the many additional services offered to the campus
are book orders and popular paperback sales; stamps; and supplies
for art, dental technology, athletics, drafting, and writing, including
- tools, uniforms, and sports supplies.
The store hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 P~m.
Monday through Thursday; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays.

The Department of Electronic
Technology has graduated 102
students since beginning in 1966.
The department is headed by
Darwin McCarroll, with five faculty instructors.

Auto Tech Offers Futures For Students
The Auto Technology Department, offers a two year Associate
of Science degree and a certificate of completion. Taught by a
staff of eight instructors, auto technology training prepares students
for entry level employme_nt in the automotive service and repair
field.
Beginning salary for a graduate varies between $1.50 to $2.00
:rn hou.r; journeymen earn up to $10,000 per year.
Extra costs for students entering this program include tools
($175), coveralls ($12), books ($45), and welding fees ($30).
One advantage this course offers, according to instructor
Herb _Pruett, is that students may enter every six weeks, allowing
members of the community who are already employed in this
field an opportunity to increase their knowledge of new developments in the auto repair field. Training in this department also
includes occasional visits to automotive plants such as Toyota, and
General Motors.

Flight Tech Provides Varied Training
The F 1i g ht Technology program leads to a two year Associate of Science degree. This
program prepares students for

Tuition based on need

LCC has never had a health services clinic
that is capable of providing for all the medical
needs of the LCC student body. John Loeber,
now the ASLCC health coordinator, began planning a health clinic last year and his plans
are now to become a reality.
The LCC Board of Education Wednesday,
Sept. 6, approved the funding of $18,400 for the
student health clinic. The money is part of the
ASLCC budget for the 1972-73 school year.
The health clinic, besides offering services
for more than 71 000 people a year, blood tests,
urinalysis, gynecological tests, tests for sickle
cell anemia and counseling services for those
who need them, will also provide a dental health
program (that will be run on a basis of immediate need) and a prescription drug program.
This program will allow students who need
prescribed medical treatment to obtain their
medicine from either the school's doctor or
dentist. No definite guidelines have been drawn
up concerning type of prescriptions, amounts of
prescriptions, cost, or methods of repayment as
of yet.
Dental services is alotted $2,800 of the
$18,400; the prescription service is funded for
$600 , and the health service receives the remaining $15,000.
According to the 1972-73 health services doctor 1
L. M. Elkind, the present usage of the health
services is over 6,000 cases a year plus an
additional 5,000 TB tests given and read. Elkind continued to state that, students needs were
not adequatly met last year, and the operation
did not lend itself to the best practice of medicine.

ASLCC Second Vice President
Kenny Walker and First Vice
President Chuck Packnett were
elected to high posts in the National Student Association at the
close of the Association's annual
congress in Washington, D.c.,
August 12 through 18,
Walker was elected as one of
the four West Coast (Oregon,
Washington, and California) representatives to the National Supervisory Board (NSB), and Packnett was elected as one of four
West Coast representatives to the

Job Placement employs career computer

The Job Placement Office secretary would make a good bartender! That's what the newest addition to the Placement Office told her.
The "new addition" is a computer hookup, called OIAS (Occupational Information Access System), that will help students find
careers that they are suited for.
OIAS consists of a teletypewriter which is hooked-up to the
OTIS (Oregon Total Information Service) computer. The OTIS
computer lists over 200 occupational careers along with the qualifications for each career~
So , a student wishing career information merely fills out an
exploratory questionnaire which takes into consideration geographical, economic, and occupational interests, and physical limitations a
student may have, and then feeds his answers into the computer.
It sounds pretty complicated, but it's really quite simple.
The student simply sits down at the teletypewriter located outside
the Library in the Center Building, and types the word "Hello".
The computer responds with "Hello" and asks the student's name.
When given a name the computer replies "Hello Jim" (Jack, Mary,
or whatever), and then asks whether you want general information
on a particular subject or if you would rather start the questionnaire.
If the student chooses the questionnaire, the computer goes
down the list of 25 questions asking the student to answer each on
the teletypewriter.
Once in the computer the student's answers are analyzed and
matched against the careers the computer has listed. Within seconds
the teletype is banging away and the student soon has in his hands a
list of careers he or she may be adept at.
With list in hand, the student can ask the computer for a brief
description of any career he or she is interested in. If still interested,
he can ask for a list of people who have volunteered to talk with others
about their job.
Along with the computer hookup, Career Information Service also
has available published bibliographies of occupational descriptions,
and cassette recorded interviews with persons in various occupations.
According to Dick Katz of the Career Information System, the
OIAS hookup is not thought of as an alternative to career counseling
but rather as a tool to complement the counseling services. Katz
said that the computer setup is simple; a student can ask the questions
he wants and get straight answers without having to cast an authority
or father figure on the machine like he may do with a counselor. As
a tool, the computer should make career counseling easier for the
student and counselor since the student will already have a career
in mind when he walks into the counselor's office.
The counselor and student will be able to get right down to
planning his or her educational needs. Hopefully, said Katz, the
computer will end the popular, "I don't know what I want to do,"
phrase.
The OIAS system was developed by Bruce McKinlay at the
University of Oregon through a grant from the US Department of
Labor.
The pilot program was introduced to high schools and briefly
at LCC last year with the results being so successful that the system
is now hooked into LCC, the U of o, and most high schools and
junior high schools in the area. According to Katz, the system will
eventually cover the entire state.

Job placement offers good results
"We're probably the only office
that doesn't mind being bugged
by students.''
This quote, from the secretary
of the Job Placement Office, Corinne Meehan, is typical of the
attitude that helped place 450
students with jobs in the first
•
six months of this year.
The Job Placement Office, located on the second floor of the
Center Building is operated by
W. "Buck" Bailey and his secretary Ms. Meehan. The office's
success stands out quite
clearly-last year, according to
Ms. Meehan, of 583 people who
applied, 492 were placed in jobs.
With improvements in the economy the expectations for this
year are even better Ms. Meehan
said.
The Placement Office offers
a complete job referral service
for all students and their spouses, LCC graduates, and high
schoolers. According to Ms.
Meehan , all that is required of
a student desiring work is to
stop by the Placement desk and
fill out a card listing work ex-

perience, type of desired employment, and the hours you are
available to work.
According to Ms. Meehan the
biggest problem is getting "student feedback." She says that
quite often a student will fill out
a card and never check back with
the office. Often students move
or change phone numbers without informing the office. Another
problem is students failing to
not if y the Placement Office
whether or not their job interview resulted in their getting the

dents take the necessary classes and then work in the Center
for their experience. The Center furnishes the children with
breakfast if necessary and lunch.
The Child Development Center
is open only to the children of
LCC students between the age
limits of 3 and 6. Ms. Heilpern
says that applications for the
Center are available at the Home
Economics Dept. office and "welcomes donations of good, used
children's books or other play
equipment in good condition."

LCC students who worry about
their children's care during
school hours need worry no more.
LCC has a Day Care Center which
will take care of their children
during a student's class time
including evenings.
Night care costs 60 cents per/
hour and day care costs are based
on a person's ability to pay,
(though many are subsidized under welfare).
Ms. Jill Heilpern, director of
Child Development in the Home
Economics Department, prefers
to call it a Child Development
Center and stresses that "we
are much more than a babysitting
service, we are educating our
children.''
The Center is staffed by students who are working in Childhood Development. These stu-

mathematics professor Lawrence Mitchell has received a
grant from the Oregon System
of Mathematics Education which
will allow Mitchell to spend the
next year working on a statewide project to help improve the
teaching of math at elementary,
secondary, and college levels.
The project is also concerned
with improving communications
between the public and the mathematics education comm u nity. The Oregon Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry are cooperating in the
project.
The effort is part of a new
cooperative approach involving
state, local, private, and federal
agencies. The Oregon System is
being partially supported by one
m il 1i o n d o 11 a r s of National
Science Foundation funds during
the first year of a five year
program.
A native of Wyoming, Mitchell
came to Eugene in 1965 to attend the University of Oregon.
After receiving his master's degree in 1966, he went to Pendleton, where he was on the Blue
Mountain Community Co 11 e g e
faculty for five years before returning to Eu~ene to work on his
doctorate in mathematics education. During 1971-72, he studied at the University of Oregon
on a Science Faculty Fellowship.

OSPIRG bares its teeth
by John Haterius

Editor's Note: The following
is a report concerning Q:;PIRG's
work in the past year and some
of the work planned for this
year. Jon Hater i us is the
TORCH's OSPIRG correspondent.
Salmonella p~isoning. _ Autorepair rip-off. Deceptive advertising. These are targets for
OSPIRG.
The Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG),
in its first year as a student
environmental and c on s u m e r
"watchdog'' bit into controversial business and industrial practices. It will continue to bite
this year.
Last year OSPIRG investigated
meat inspection practices in Oregon and found lack of sanitary
protection, poor inspection, and
lack of warnings of salmonella
contamination. a;PIRG cited lack
of cooperation between the Oregon Department of Agriculture
(ODA) and the Oregon State Health
Division regarding salmonella
contamination. The study also reported violations in meat processing were rarely followed up
by ODA and the Oregon State
Health Division.
And when OSPIRG investigated
auto repair dealers in its study
of front end shops in Multnomah
County, it found dealers weren't
the only ones who were squirming. The OSPIRG study concluded
that the consumer apparently has
only a "50-50 chance of receiving fair treatment from auto
repair shops - at least in the
front end shops visited.'' A full
62 per cent of the shops visited
quoted prices for apparently unneeded and unnecessary repairs
and replacements.
The auto studies resulted in
several auto dealers signing voluntary compliance agreements
with the Multnomah County District Attorney. By signing the
agreement, dealers acknowledged a tacit assumption that
they had been engaging in illegal
practices.
Then U>PIRG looked at "bait
and switch" tactics in the Portland area - ''bait and switch"
is a practice of luring a customer to a place. of business
through an enticing advertisement and then switching him from
the advertised product to another
product. Of 49 car lot checks,
24 were found to be dealing in
questionable business practices
of bait and switch advertising.
Clearcutting, air and water
pollution, refuse dumping in the
Willamette River, forest management, possible pollution of
Men ash a Corporation mill in
Coos Bay, water studies by U of 0
C6PIRG . . . the list goes on.
CSPIRG took big bites.
In many cases C6 PIRG reports
have been handed directly to the
Oregon State Legislature to furnish needed information on consumer fraud and industrial polution. The research takes money,
of course, and CSPIRG is powerful because its flow of revenue
comes from Oregon students.
Last year OSPIRG made good use
of the student donated 120 thousand dollars.
This summer OSPIRG awarded
18 "intern scholarships" to students in Oregon who demonstrated keen interest and obvious
investigatory abilities.Each intern worked for $750 for 12
weeks pursuing studies in forest
practices, po 11 u ti on, land use
planning, and business prac-

In the coming months OSPIRG
will provide testimony to the
Federal Trade Commission, offering the results of the "bait
and switch" study in October
meets with the Attorney General.
And the group plans a study of
the Portland General Electric
Company (PGE) on rate structure
and rate increases. other studies
in coming months are land use
legislation, auto emission reduction plans, and further auto repair and advertising practices

in Oregon.
LCC-OSPIRG is planning similar study of "bait and switch"
practices in Eugene-Springfield,
and will survey local front end
alignment businesses, and is considering study of "odometer
turnback'' practices in the car
sales industry.
An OSPIRG spokesman will
man a table during registration
to answer questions and recruit
interested LCC students into t!'le
local chapter.

The Chicano and Native Amer-.
ican Affairs Center is sponsoring a '' Chicano Dinner'' of au thentic Mexican food in the Lane
Community College dining area
Thursday, Oct. 5, at 6:30. Tickets
are $2.25 for adults, $1.25 for
children, and children under five,
free.

Switchboard, a community service organization which assists
people in finding houses, employment, and transportation is going
through reorganization proceedures in order that they may

Powell, head of the Financial
Aids Office at LCC, "If a person really tries, I don't -think
there is any way he or she can't
go to school."
Many of the programs are
based on "demonstrated need"
and for those who qualify there
are 15 to 20 financial aid programs available at LCC. If a
person doesn't fit one program,
he or she may qualify for another.
The FEDERAL programs include the following:

met several fellow students; identifying your purpose for coming to Lane Community College;
identifying or clarifying your
career and/or educational goal;
selecting a list of courses with
some alternatives for at least
your fall schedule; obtaining information about the registration
pro~ess and the things you needed to do to receive your registration mater i a 1s, i.e., T.B.
clearance, social security number verification, etc.; having your
questions an s w e r e d about the
processes and services of the
College, i.e., Financial Aids,
Study Skills, Registration, etc.
