Request tabled

of department
Last Thursday the Instructional Council at LCC tabled a
request to have the title of the
E th n i c S tu d i e s Department
changed to The Department of
Interdiciplinary and lntercultural
Studies (DIIS). The Instructional
Council felt that the proposal
needed further studying before a
decision would be reached; conse-quently discussion will be resumed on Oct. 19.
In an i n t e r v i e w with t h e
TORCH, prior to the Council
meeting, Bill Powell director
of Ethinic Studies said that in
. the proposal, "Our greatest consideration for the change had to
do ·with the non-involvement of
the Native Americans." Powell
said "They are NativeAmericans, and not members of an
"Ethnic Group" that is, a group
whose ancestors are recent immigrants, forced or otherwise,
to this continent.''
Powell said a second reason
was Ethnic Studies does not allow
enough diversity to cover those
needs that Native Americans feel
are imp o rt a n t. These needs
include the resources of untapped
expertise in various fields-ant hr op o 1o g y, science, sociology, etc.''
•
In the interview, Powell described plans to ·include folklore
and Native American anthropology classes in the DIIS curriculum. New courses must first
be studies by the Curriculum
Committee, then by the Instructional Council, before going to
the LCC President for approval,

Stop the presses?

As o TORCH reporter rushes to meet the all-critical deadline the
TORCH wishes to remind readers that this week is Newspaper
Week -- a week when newspapers across the nation take a brief
look at the past and a long look at the future and try to remind
readers that newspapers do play a very important role in society.
Thomas Jefferson once said he would prefer to live in a country
with newspapers but without a government, rather than a country
with a government but no newspapers. On page two the TORCH
takes a look at some recent events that could spell change for ·
newspapers.

Course to be reviewed
Two subjects which have caused a great deal
of controversy at LCC in the past are once again
scheduled for review by the LCC Board of Education at their monthly meeting tomorrow. Instructor Ben Kirk's Science course, Science In
Your Life, will be the topic of a progress report, and LCC student participation in national
events will be examined in the first reading of a
policy change.
Although Kirk has been allowed to begin
teaching his new course this term, students
have received no credit for the course because of
an Oregon Board of Education ruling last month.
The Oregon Board refused to grant transfer credit
or state financial reimbursement for the course
as Kirk had outlined it, because, according to an
0 reg on Board spokesman, "The course, as
outlined, simply fails t o provide the general
science foundations one would normally expect
from the science curricula."
Since this ruling Kirk, Dean of Instruction
Louise Case and several members of the Science
Department met with Ray Theiss, a staff member

of the State Department of Education, to present
course modifications to him, but Theiss said he
did not feel the course had been changed sig••
nificantly and he would not recommend it for
credit or transfer.
The LCC Board must now decide what is to
be done with the course. According to the LCC
Office of Instruction. 68 students are enrolled
in the five sections of the new course. Originally
about 100 had enrolled for the course but several
dropped it presumably after learning it carried
no credit.
The Board is also scheduled to discuss and
rule on national competition for LCC students.
In the past, students have not been able to compete
at the national level because of a Board policy
which prohibited it. Last year many in the LCC
community became upset when wrestlers Murry
Booth and Kenny Kime, who had won at the
regional level, were prohibited from wrestling in
national co~petition.
At its Sept. 13 meeting the Board voted to go
on ~ecord favoring "student participation in state,
reg10nal and national scholastic and athletic events
and programs," but authorized the LCC President
to. establish "a representative task force to develop suitable funding and policy recommendations
in this area, and to report those recommendations at its Oct. 11 metting. ''
The task force, made up of eight members
(consisting of students, staff, and an administrator), met and recommended the college allow national competition. The Board must now make a
decision, but since this will only be the- first

'Decisions may be arbitrary'

by Lee Beyer

The mass conflict expected from the new policy requiring
18 students as a minimum class enrollment never seemed to develop
this year as students, teachers, and administrators worked smoothly
to bridge the transition into the new academic year,
The pudget move made last March by the Board of Education
to increase teachers' workloads and raise the class size minimum
from 12 to 18 brought many cries of protest and hints of the possible
problems that might result from cancelling classes that fall below
this minimum.
But few of the feared problems surfaced as the LCC staff
worked closely with students to make every possible attempt to
get them into a class of their choice once a class had been canceled
on them.
Early this term, when a new Labor History class was expected
to be canceled. because of a lack of 18 students, Social Science
Department Chairman Bill Beals told the students he felt responsible and would assure their entry into any class in his department.
At the same time Associate Dean of Instruction Gerald Rasmussen
said that if any of the students had trouble getting into another class
he would also help. In a later interview, Rasmussen reiterated his
stand and said even though he could not make guarantees he felt
confident that he could and would get students into any class of
their choosing. Rasmussen added, however, that students should
first contact the department office of the class they wish to enter
before coming to him.
Most department chairmen have taken the same stand as Beals
and have indicated they will make room for any student having a
class canceled.
According to Dean of Instruction Lewis Case, the decision to
cancel a class will be an arbitrary matter. Each class will be considered in relationship to financial, sequential, and program requirements. Case said the college tries not to let the students down,
adding that the College feels obligated to offer any courses required
in a vocational program and to continue any sequence program- started
Fall Term regardless of class size.
Case said, "It may sound like sour grapes but we' re not trying
to make a profit here; no educational institutionever makes a profit.
But rather, we are trying to make the dollar spread farther, and
offer more for each student."
The college receives state financial support for state approved
transfer and Voe-Tech classes according to a formula measured by
the number of Full Time Equivelency Students (FTE). Last year
the state gave LCC financial support for 5,513 FTE students;- this
year's estimate is for 5,760, with the possibility of support for 6,009
students.
According to administrative policy, teachers on full-time
contracts who have a class cancelled will take over a part-time
ins_tructor's class to complete their full-time load requirement.
This means some part-time instructors could find themselves without
a class to teach or without the expected financial support from it.
According to Case, all part-time instructors are thoroughly informed
on the policy of class cancellations and know that they will not be
paid for any canceled classes.
Case said that part-time instructors generally fall into three
categories -- U o~ 0 graduate students, moonlighting professional people, and housewives. In almost all cases part-time instructors
were teaching as a supplement to their regular income, said Case.
The following is a list of the number of classes canceled in
each department as of last Friday. Most were due to small class
size.
Health and Physical Education, 11; Study Skills, 6; Social Sciences, 3; Science, 2; Home Economics, 2; Business, 2; Industrial
Technology, l; Language Arts, 1; and Outreach, 7.
Bookstore Manager Georgia Henrickson said that '' all books,
accompanied by a cash register receipt, for cancelled classes will
be refunded at full value during the first three weeks. Damaged
books will be refunded according to the resale value."

or property, without due process ot law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.''

Being National Newspaper week, we feel it
proper to review the constitutional guarantees of
of a free press and the contemporaray threats
against it -- ironically, through "legal" means.
By coincidence in the fast week we have seen
two attempts, within the law, to abridge the press:
On -bet. 4, US District Judge John J. Sirica
issued a restraining order banning any discussion of the alleged "bugging" of the Democratic National Headquarters; in the same week
Peter Bridge a former reporter for the
Newark Evening News (now defunct) was ordered to jail indefinitely on a contempt of court
charge for refusing to reveal his sources of
information in a story on corrupt government
practices.
Our forefathers, realizing the need of a free
society to criticize its government, wrote into
our Constitution two provisions protecting that
right. It is appropriate to quote, in case we've
forgotten, THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE
US CONSTITUTION:

These two amendments opposed each other.

In the Watergate gagging, Judge Sirica at-

tempted to ban discussion of what one politi9al
party calls one of the biggest issues of the
political year, and that of possible corruption
in the highest office of the land. The Judge
reasoned that discussion of the case could be
detrimental to the defense, therefore violating
their right to due process of the law. But the
people have a right to know what is going on in
the i r government and the press has a responsibility to inform them. In order to keep
this information flowing all lines of information
must be kept openo
Another example where these lines have been
tied-off is the Bridge case. Bridge has a responsibility as a reporter to expose corruption
in government where he finds it, . but he also
has a responsibility to keep open his lines of
information. The courts have asked him to give
up his source - give up the source which may
again, in the future, reveal yet more corruption.
The courts say they are not abridging freedom of the press. But when there is no information given because of fear of reprisals there is
no public exposure.
If there is no exposure the public may not
discover grievances for which to redress the
government.
Last summer in a US Supreme Court decision (US vs. Caldwell) the Court stated that
newsmen have no constitutional immunity against
grand jury · requests for information relevant to
an investigation. This means that the people
responsible for informing the public do not
(Continued on page 8)

"Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and
to petition the government for a redress of
grievances."
And, regarding fair trial, THE FOURTEENTH
AMENDMENT reads like this:
"All persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States
and of the State wherein they reside. No
State shall make or enforce any law which .
shall abridge the privileges or immunities
of citizens of the United States; nor shall

-Special Report from Washington-

ABUSING THE MAILS

(Copyright, 1972, by United Feature Syndicate, In~. )

WASHINGTON-Congressmen are playing so fast and
loose with their free postal
privileges this year that misuse .of the mails is becoming a
major campaign issue in political races around the country.
The Fair Campaign Practices Committee reports it has
already received
twice as
many complaints about congressional abuse of the mails
•in this campaign as it received
during the entire 1970 campaign.
Formal complaints have been
filed against James Howard,
D-N.J., Hamilton Fish, R-New
York, John Moss, D-Calif.,
Bob Mathias, R-Calif., George
Shipley, D-Ill., John Asbrook,
R-Ohio and Albert Johnson,
R-Calif. In addition, the committee says there are dozens of
other cases in which congressmen have allegedly abused the
mails but have not been challenged formally by their opponents.
Under the law, congressmen
can use the mails free of
charge for official business,
but incumbents have become
so ingenious at disguising political puffery as official business that the Postal Service
has given up trying to enforce
the law.
Congressmen have perfected all sorts of ways to circumvent mailing restrictions. Fre
quently, they insert self-ser·
ving material into the Con·
gressional
Record,
which
makes it official b4siness.
Then congressmen order re·
prints and mail them to constituents at public expense.
Questionnaires, which ar~
drafted, ostensibly, to solicit
the views of constituents, are
another ruse used by congressmen to solicit votes. The questions are carefully loaded to
produce the desired political
results. Once tabulated, the
results are released to voters
in massive mailings-once again at public expense.
These practices, among others, have so exacerbated postal authorities that they now
refuse even to send advisors to
Capitol Hill to -caution congressmen not .to abuse the
mails. "It simply would do no
good,'' one insider said.
Why have congressmen shifted so dramatically to massive
direct mailings this year to get
themselves re-elected? Besides
the Postal Service's reluctance
to enforce the law, political
watchdogs cite new restric-.
tions on political ads in th ....
media and the reapportion •
ment of numerous congressional• districts as the major
factors contributing to Congress's latest assault on the
U.S. mails.
- Pension Reforms
RebuffedThe U.S. Chamber of Commerce has reached i.n to the
Senate and effectively squashed legislation that would protect older citizens from being
cheated out of their pensions.
The Senate Labor Committee, which has spent years
investigating pension abuses,
has established that citizens
who lose their jobs before
retirement often receive no

pensions at all even though
collectively they contribute
millions of dollars to pension
funds.
To correct such abuses, the
committee drafted careful reforms. But the guilty companies, working through the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, have
managed to cheat their employees again.
The Chamber of Commerce
got the bill referred to the
Senate Finance Committee
headed by Big Business's buddy, Senator Russell Long.
When .the legislation came
back, it was stripped of its
meaning. The key provisions
had been gutted. Labor Committee members are furious
.and have promised a big battle
on the Senate floor.
Meanwhile, a TV network
has dramatized the great pension scandal in a nationwide
television documentary. But
we have learned that corporate
powers are putting quiet pressure on the TV network not to
make the documentary available for private showing.
-Around the U.S.• Space Age ConvenienceThe National Aeronautics and
Space Administration has
proudly announced in a press
release that it has awarded a
contract to a private firm to
develop the world 's most expensive toilet. The commode
under contract will be launched into space for use by
astronauts in the space shuttle
program. The pricetag for a
prototype toilet is staggering:
$238,000 ... Meanwhile, back
on earth, the government is
spending hundreds of thousands more dollars for the
convenience of its employees.
This year, for example, the
government estimates it will
spend $350,000 for smoking
stands. If public money isn't
going down the drain, it's
going up in smoke.
• Union Strikes in '73 President
Nixon's
Wage
Board has held salary
increases to about five-and-ahalf per cent a year. But after
the election, the board is expected to tighten controls on
wages in an attempt to reduce
the annual wage increase below five per cent. The move, no
doubt, would infuriate unions.
Their main complaint: The
President's controls would be
tough on workers' wages but
not tough enough on prices
and profits. If the wage lid is
tigh_tened, a showdown may
come next year in the form of
strikes by auto, construction,
airline and railroad employees .
• A Visa for a Star-Recent
press reports claimed that
movie star Vanessa.Redgrave
had been denied a temporary
visa to shoot a new film in the
United States. The reports,
carried widely in the press,
speculated that the decision
was motivated by Miss Redgrave's
outspoken
views
against the Vietnam War. We
have done our own checking.
At the time of the reports,
Miss Redgrave had not yet
formally applied for a visa.
Even a famous movie starlike Miss Redgrave- has to
apply for a visa in order to get
one.

A list has been placed in the

Nearly' 500 sets of silverware
are shJen each term from the
LCC cafeteria according to Merlin Ames, Food Technology Department head. The major portion
of this loss, he explained, occurs during the first two weeks
of the term when students pick
up the "free" utensils for their
homes. This loss of utensils costs
the school about $300, and the
yearly loss of cups through
breakage and theft costs the
school another $500. This is one
of the major reasons of the increase jn cafeteria food prices
said Ames; other reasons include
wage raises and the higher costs
:of food.
Ames said the school is purchasing the I east expensive
silverware available, the only
other alternative being plastic
utensils. Ames stated that for
every dollar spent by stu:Jents
in th,? cafeteria, because of theft
and breakage, costs the school
$1.10. This figure is the cost of
the food alone and does not include labor.

Lane Community College students, under the direction of
George Lauris, will perform Paul Vindel's . play entitled "The
Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds."
The cast, which consists of five LCC students, is "unique in
its own way," director Lauris commented. According to Lauris
"Pauline Whitney, who plays the role of Nanny, is 78 years old~
the oldest student ever to appear in an LCC production."
Lauris said that "The play's title is a false clue. The production is a very human drama. being both excruciatingly funny and at
times, extremely sad. 'Marigolds' is a modern day story about a
family trying to make it against all odds."
This production won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award
for the best play of the season and the Obie Award for the best play
off Broadway. Both awards were given in 1970. "Marigolds' ' also
received the Pulitzer Prize in 1971.
The play will be held in the Forum Theater on campus Nov. 10,

Lane County Mass Transit
System offers new bus service
One way adult fare is 25 cents;
and transfers for a one-hour
stop-over (along the route) and
continuous transfer from one color route to another are free.

Re 6ularly scheduled c it y bus
runs, including a special "ehpress" bus non-stop to the campus, will be making daily trips
to and from LCC again this year.
Two Lane Transit District carriers will operate on the half hour
each day, arriving at the campm
five minutes before and 25 minutes after the hour. Both buses
will leave from Tenth and Willamette, travel to Fifth and North
"A" St. in Springfield, then on
to the LCC campus on East Thirtieth. Buses will be in operation
from 6:25 a.m. to 6:25 p.m.
The special express bus will
make three morning runs to the
college, and three afternoon trips
to downtown Eugene. It will leave
the Willamette St. location at
7:40, 8:40, and 9:40 a.m., and depart LCC at 2,3, and 4 p.m. No
passengers will be picked up or
let off while the bus is enroute
between the two points.
Besides the regularly scheduled buses, a "spur line" has been
added between the Ashlane housing project and downtownSpringfield. Students riding that bus
(#12, Hayden Bridge) may board
the bus at a quarter past and a
quarter before the hour on Harlow Rd. Since. they must make a
connection at Fifth and North
"A", there will be about a tenminute wait in Springfield.
All of the new Transit District

lssel s eaks at LCC

Better conditions for converting a convict to a person acceptable by the community was
the primary question discussed
by Barney Issel, (Republican)
during a campaign appearance
for Lane County Sheriff, Oct.
2, at LCC.
Issel, the Oregon director of
public safety and an 18 year veteran of police work - 11 years
as the Chief of Police in Port
Orford and Cottage Grove - is
running against John Burks, a
Democrat from Eugene and David Larry, Independent, also of
Eugene.
Is s e 1 said that most corrections agencies can show a conv.ict
the right way to earn money,
but instead they just throw hitn
out into the community after his
rehabilitation. ''They give him a
new suit, fifty dollars in his pocket and they expect him to go o~t
and find himself a job. But what
happens to him when he runs out
of money?" asked Issel. Issel
answered that most likely the
person will revert to what he

was doing before he was arrested and convicted.
Issel also felt that the re should
be a better cooperation between
policing agencies to prevent duplication and share information
and also said policeman should
be more involved in helping a rehabilitated convict in a type of
Work Release program.
Work Release programs are
established on an agr eement ba si s. The rehabilitated convict is
allowed to l eave the corrections
i nstitute during the day, to work
at a place of employment within
the community, then return to the
·institute each evening. Issel said
that the program has wor ked
well at the state rehabilitation
institutes and he sees no reason
why it cannot be done succ essfully at a county or city jail level.
vel. Issel said that if correction
agencies were placed within the
community, then the distrust of
the employer for the rehabilitated person would be greatly reduced.
"Legalizing Marijuana," Issel
continued on another subject "is
such a sticky subject." The law,
according to Issel, is established
in such a way that the police cannot enforce the law to any accurate degree.
The final question asked of the
former police chief of Cottage
Grove was pertaining to registration of firearms. Issel sympathized with the people who owned
firearms by saying that he was
strongly against the registration
of firearms. He did say, however,
that he was concerned with the
reason why some people buy
firearms.
Th i s response caused some
controversy from the s m al 1
crowd. Someone said that people
, wouldn't purchase guns if they
thought the police were doing a
good job. Issel retaliated, saying that the police force is doihg
an adequate job, it's just that

Rally and march s.cheduled

The October 14 Coalition got the
go-ahead last week from the city
of Eugene to hold their demonstration and march this Saturday
when the city issued three permits

·LCC stude nt saves life of 12 year old boy
(Edi~or's note: The following story, w~it!en by Eugene
Register-Guard reporter Bob Burton, origmally appeared
)n the Sunday, Oct. 1issue of the Eugene Register-Guard.)

"I feel I've really accomplished something in
life," an 18 year old LCC student said recently. "If
I don't do anything else, I've saved a life." •
The life she saved was that of Kevin Hodges, 12,
of 4155 Oak St., during a Sept. 3 water accident at
Fern Ridge Reservoir west of Eugene.
Two weeks ago, Suzan Mitchell, a physical education major at LCC, received an American National
Red Cross lifesaving award during the annual dinner
meeting of the Lane County Chapter.
Later, Ms. Mitchell, Kevin and his mother, Ms.
Glenn Hodges, recounted the events that led to the
award.
Ms. Mitchell said she had finished her cannery
job early Sunday morning, Sept.3. She decided to go with
a friend to Orchard Point Park at FernRidge Reservoir.
"We took some sleeping bags and slept under some
trees most of the day," said Ms. Mitchell. "About 3
o'clock it go{ too hot to sleep so I decided to go for a
swim,"
Kevin, a seventh grader at Spencer Butte Junior
High School, was already in the water. He had gone to
Orchard Point with his parents and some friends for
a Sunday picnic.
Ms. Hodges' voice still falters as she remembers
that day. "I had just waved at Kevin and he was doing
fine. I turned away from the water to talk to a friend. I
didn't know there was any trouble until I saw Suzan
carrying Kevin out of the water."
Ms. Mitchell, explained what happened. "I swam out

to a wooden dock and had planned to stay out there,
but some boys were throwing mud. I was getting ready
to swim back to shore when I saw .this boy bobbing up
and down in the water. At first I thought he was playing
with a friend, but I didn't see anyone."
Kevin explained, "I got hit in the eye with some
mud. I don't know what happened, all of a sudden I
felt very weak."
When she realized Kevin was in trouble, Ms. Mitchell said she wasn't quite sure what to expect.
"I had two years of Red Cross senior lifesaving
classes when I attended Sheldon High School. But all the
practicing had been on classmates who weren't really
in trouble.
"I swam over to Kevin and pulled him to shore.
When it was shallow enough, I picked him up and carried him over to the grass. I knew he was waterlogged because he was limp - and heavy.''
Ms. Hodges looked warmly at the smUing girl and
said, "Suzan was so calm. She really knew what she was
doing. I saw them as they came out of the water. I
knew Kevin was in trouble because he was turning blue.''
Using skills _she had learned in the lifesaving classes, Ms. Mitchell gave Kevin artifical resuscitation for
several minutes until he began to breathe normally.
Kevin was taken by ambulance to the Eugene Hospital and Clinic, where he was kept overnight for
observation. He was treated for an eye irritation and
was released the following day.
"We just can't thank Suzan enough,'' said Ms. Hodm iled at the pretty brunette. 11 People like
ges as she s_
her are wonclerful. ''

IHood Creek Recreation project nea.rs completio nl
LC C Industrial Technology
students plan to complete work on
the Hood Creek Recreation Project this Winter Term. The land,
covering about 40 acres, was donated by the US Plywood Company and is located 50 miles west
of Eugene off Highway 126 on
Knowles Creek Road.
The 1and was surveyed and
cleared by forestry students under the supervision of instructor Gerald Meiser last year. Welding students made fireplace

grills, and construction students
designed and built picnic tables
and "A frame" privies. All this
work was done in LCC shops to
give the students experience
in pre-fabrication and modular
construction.
Upon completion, the Hood
Creek Recreation Project will
include picnic sites with individual trails leading to a nature trail, open play fields, a
foot bridge, and two parking lots. ·
"Our goal is to keep the area

as natural as possible" explained
Jed Merrill, head of the pro- •
gram. "Not a drop of paint was
used; most everything is made
of untreated cedar," said Merrill.
Leroy Lambert, US Plywood
forester for the Mapleton-Reedsport area said, "The most appealing factor of the project was
that it involved local students
who displayed a personal pride
and interest in their work few
contractors would have shown."

The University of Oregon has lost again. This time by a score
of 23 to 17 to a much overrated University of Washington football
team. The worries of Oregon Coach Dick Enright can make you
wince if you spend any time thinking about them.
Enright's defense is the most porous of any in the Pacific8 Conference. The "Mean Green" defense had allowed two consecutive opponents, UCLA and Oklahoma, to score over 60 points.
The offense hardly suits the term "Green Machine'' since some of
Enright's most promising young ballplayers are out for extended
periods of time with injuries.
But for all of it's weaknesses the University of Oregon althletic
program is still running in the financial black column, something
that football powerhouse Oklahoma is failing to do. Intercollegiate
sports is a big business but perhaps one of the facets that should be
omitted from that business is the ticket operation.
Ticket prices have skyrocketed but even more distressing is
the way in which certain tickets entitle certain people to sit in
certain sections. Certainly the people who buy the more expensive
tickets are the people who sit in the higher priced sections, but those
sections are the sections offering the best view, the best seats and
sometimes even under cover against the weather.
The point is, that if you have paid the enormous sum of money
for a reserved seat you are entitled to show up any time during the
game and demand a seat. Perhaps this concept looks quite good to
those people who watch an athletic contest because there isn't
anything else to do, but the people who are genuinely into athletics
and are willing to come to the contest regardless of the weather, and
not for the social element, but for the game or match, can think of
nothing more irritating than the ever present flock of Boy Scouts
endlessly informing you that you cannot sit in sections 1 through 48
nor in rows 9 through 38, etc.
In my own experience with ticketed events the best seating
siutation has occurred at music concerts employing the "festival
seating" idea. In this system all the tickets are the same price
and there are no reserved seat sections, no ushers patrolling the
aisles demanding to see your ticket stub, and best of all, no Boy
Scouts.
It is in the purest sense of the phrase, first come-first served.
If you wa'nt the best seat in the house you can get it. Just show up
before anyone else. Changing athletic events to this kind of seating
situation would be a refreshing change from the present wav of
seating with all of it's irritating hassles.

administrator
To make the evening classes at
LCC "more viable," the Evening
Advisory Committee drafted a
letter to LCC President Eldon
Schaefer which recomends to the
administration that the president
of LCC, "Designate an individual
as administrator of the Evening
College Program with appropriate position and title within the
administration .... "
According to newly elected
committee President Tom Kling-

Unofficial club attempting
t~ ~ring students together
The International Club is a club
that isn't.
The club has been operating
actively on campus for the past
two years, but according to Irene
Parent, coordinator for foreign
students and advisor to the club.
through Student Senate red tape
and a communication problem,
the organization has never been
oficially chartered by the student
government. The club., therefore,
has never received the $70 that
each new club is normally allotted.
Ms. Parent said that a number of attempts were made last
year to get the club chartered
once all the charter requirements
were met. "Either the Senate
didn't get to it on their agenda
or it was tabled, and once, through
nobody's fault but my own, our
representative didn't show up for
the meeting in which it was

brought up" she went on to say.
Approximately forty foreign
and American students make up
the club membership, with around
fifteen countries represented.
M.s. Parent feels she has a real
"gung-ho" group this year, "especially the students from Hong
Kong-.''
There have been no meetings
and activities planned for this
year, but Ms. Parent hopes that
a "Foreign Table" in the Center Building, similar to the one
they had last year, will be the
first success in getting foreign
and American students rapping
early in the term.
"The foreign students really
want to talk and exchange ideas
with Americans, but both are a
little shy," she said. "But as
hosts, I think it's our duty to
make the first move."

beil, the committee surveyed
neighboring community colleges
recently, asking what factors
contributed to their respective
evening program's success. As a
result of the survey an administrative position was concluded as
the reason for evening college
success.
For the most part the committee said problems were centered around the fact that almost
all services on campus, normally
are open during the day, and
closed during the evening. The
number of available classes is
also minimal, according to the
group. They feel that this an undue inconvenience to the night
student.

LCC's Community Garden may go through some changes next. .
year. Plans are in the making to utilize the area in a more productive way, according to Bill Cox, LCC superintendent of Facilities and Construction.
Last year's LCC Board· of Education Chairwoman Catherine
Lauris initiated the idea of a community garden. Students and community members were invited to use LCC land for private garden
use.
But Cox stated that of the 28 available plots in the garden last
spring; 13 were applied for, 11 were actually used, only about
three yielded any crop or were harvested, and of these only one
plot was used by a LCC student. Summing it up he said," From
my view point it was pretty much of a flop.''
According to Cox, Catherine Lauris and himself would like
to see next spring's garden taken over by the students and staff
of the Biology Department at LCC. This arrangement, he says,
would allow the teaching of organic gardening in the dept.
Another plan they would like to see put into action is the use
of waste material from the LCC kitchen as compost for the garden.
This material would include such things as cardboard boxes, which
are first shredded by a machine in the kitchen area, and waste
food.
Cox said anyone wishing to find out more about the garden's
future or the possibilily of reserving a plot for next year should
contact either his office or the Student Activities Center.

Bring a chum to school. Do you
realize that a person who hitches
to school must get up an hour
earlier to make it to the corner so that you can pick him up? Did
you know that it costs 50~ a day,
or three dollars a week to ride
the bus to campus? That money
could just as easily be used to
share gas expenses between two
or more people. For those of you
who live out of town, in Creswell,
Cottage Grove, Veneta, etc.,
there are many more of you than
you may realize. Perhaps you
would like to share your driving
chores and expenses.

Porter
Democratic nominee for Fourth
District Congress seat, Charles
Porter, brought his campaign to
the LCC campus Friday. He emphasized the importance of foreign policy.
"I don't know what's more local
than your pocketbook or your
brothers and sisters,'' commented Porter, referring to the fact
that 40 per cent of the income tax
is spent for national defense.
Porter was among the• first few
to oppose the war in Southeast
Asia, He stated that the war in
Vietnam is ''immoral, illegal,
and we should get out of it as soon
as possible.'' He went on to
criticize his opponent, incumbent
John Dellenback, for voting
against all bills which would have
stopped or hindered US involvement in Southeast Asia.
On the question of amnesty for
those who have fled the country
in order to avoid military induction, Porter quoted an old saying
that is "best to forgive, best to
forget."
On local issues, Porter blasted
Dellenback on campaign spending
and for supporting poorly legislated gun control laws.
He criticized Dellenback for
refusing to publicize the amount
of stock he owns in banks and
corporations. Referring to Ralph
Nader's recent attack on Congress, Porter said that "Congressmen are getting rich and
are looking out for their own
self-interest." He told the
group that his opponent was
"only representing the very
rich,'' who in turn are supporting his campaign.
Porter ended by stating that
gun control has good aim, but
hasn't been effective, mainly because the present laws aren't
keeping guns out of the hands of
criminals.
