Apathy seen on NeYI York campus Buffalo, N. Y.(CPS)-The student government of the State University of New York at Buffalo recently tried to revamp their organization to be more representative of the student body. However, the Student Association (SA) could not stir enough interest on campus to get the constitutional requirement of ten per cent of the student body (about 1,200) to vote on the referendum. The SA wanted to establish a system wherein student representives would be elected from the various academic areas. Members of the SA had voiced their dissatisfaction with the existing system in which candidates for SA positions were provided by special interest groups. As one SA member said recently ly, "The only people whopa.rticip2.ted in the Assembly were those who had a stake in the decisions . . • thus what happened if some club wanted an increase in its budget, it would designate itself an interest group and send a representative who would go to one meeting to vote his club more money." The results of this type of organization, he said, were ''either no or poor participation.'' Participation and interest in the SA organization were demonstrated when, although SA extended the voting period, only seven per cent of the student body voted on the reorganization referendum.

The proposed reforms, she explained, would have attempted to insure that every student is represented, thus forcing administrative recognition. Vets Corps proposed for Winter Term by Larry Wilder ''Vets Corps,'' a proposal by LCC student Rick Diggs to encourage vets to utilize their GI benefits , has been approved in concept, by Dean of Students Jack Carter. "Vets Corps'' is designed to assist vets in every way possible to get the most out of their benefits, and the most out of their training and education, according to Diggs. Diggs, a vet himself, plans to use LCC students who are studying in such areas as journalism, and television and radio broadcasting to write, compose, edit and shoot film commercials for the local media that will advertise GI Bill benefits, and the program at LCC other advertising will be presented in the form of speaking engagements, displays in shopping centers, posters in businesses and industrial centers, and visits to youth centers, churches and employment offices. Diggs feels that in order for the program to be a success, there must be strong coordination with "Vets Corps'' members and members of the existing LCC counseling staff. Diggs hopes to begin the program Winter Term. He said he could be contacted in the student activity area for more information. According to the Oregon Community College Student Association's (OCCSA) President, Harvey Scott, the organization, which represents about 100,000 Oregon students, has finally found a directi,m . The question as to which direction the OCCSA should take was the main theme of the organization's three-day convention Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Diamond Lake. Past OCCSA President Greg Millet said that the organization had come along way since it was started six years ago. Looking back he stated that "when we started out, we didn't have a typewriter. The conventions were so rigid that everybody wore suits, and everyone was afraid to speak out The presidents' meetings were open only to the presidents, and usually nobody went to them. Nothing was done." One direction many delegates wanted the organization to take was to back political candidates and issues. But President Scott, agreeing with the majority of the delegates, felt that sinc·e the organization has no experience in such things as lobbying, the lack of experience would most likely make the effort worthless. Feeling · already over-burdened with dues and student body fees, Tresure Valley Community College objected to the organization becoming political because of the rost. They agreed with delegates from the other small colleges that in order for the association to go political, a new monatary system based on prorated dues, (where dues are paid according to the number of represented students), would have to go into effect. Another major controversy which arose during the convention was the relationship between OCCSA and the Oregon Student Association (OSA). In a speech before the community college delegates, Greg Leo, ·osA's state coordinator, stressed the point that cooperation between the two groups is of the utmost importance. He explained that the "OSA is only an educational service that would disseminate information about bills in the legislature to the schools who are free to use the information as they see fit. Since there is so much legislation concerning higher education," he went on to say, "the two organizations should work close together, because duplication would be absurd." Leo explained that '' OSA is not trying to gobble-up the Oregon Each college has one and only one vote. community colleges. Since there are more two-year colleges in the state of Oregon than four year institutions, the two-year schools are in no danger of becoming a minority." Leo ended by encouraging the community college delegations to work with CEA .so that together they might strengthen the efforts He also invited any school or individual to join OSA of both. Later, during the general business meeting, a if interested. resolution was passed that the OCCSA would indorse and affiliate itself with OSA. Two resolutions, one endorsing the opposition to Ballot Measure Nine and the other supporting the right of faculty and classified personel to engage in collective bargaining, were passed by the association. Throughout the convention Ballot Measure Nine became a This Measure, if passed, would do major topic for discussion. away with property tax to support educational institutions. (See analysis of this Measure on page 2.) Since the Measure would strip Oregon public schools of 70 per cent of their operating funds, and would not guarentee property tax relief, and furthermore does not provide an alternate source of revenue, the OCCSA requestes that voters vote no on Ballot Measure Nine, the resolution said. Also during the convention a LCC delegate, ASLCC First Vice President Chuck Packnett, was elected to the association's Packnett defeated Mike Patrick from post of vice president. Central Oregon Community College by one vote. After his victory Packnett said he believes the primary purpose of the OCCSA is leadership. He stated that in the past the OCCSA has lacked direction and effective leadership. "It has been a boat without a captain," he said. According to Jack Hart, ASLCC publicity director, the Senate spent about $500 to send six LCC delegates to the convention.

Page 2 TORCH October 24, 1972 ANALYSIS Effects of Measure feared (Editor's note: The .following analysis of the possible effects Measure Nine could have on education was written by TORCH feature editor Lee Beyer.) Wh at does measure nine mean to you ? According to some people wo rking against the measure it may mean the end of higher ·education for low income students in Oregon. The measure, which seeks to eliminate the use of property taxes as a means for support for public education was put on the Novembe r ballot by the Oregon Farm Bureau through an initiative petition . Two of the people fighting the measure are the student body presidents of Oregon' s two major universities, Bill Wyatt of the U of O and Dave Dietz of am. Earlie r this month they announced the formation of " Students Against Measure Nine ." According to Wyatt, the group will be putting out literature to schools and different gr oups throughout the state and will also be making an extensive speaking tour the last week before the election. Wyatt said that the group did not want to peak too soon and added, ''what we want to do is make one hell of a big push a week before the election." A report re leased by the Oregon Department of Revenue showed that 380 million dollars are raised through property taxes each year to support public education in Oregon. According to State Representative and LCC administrator Richard Eymann, (regarded as the tax expert of the Oregon Legislature) elimination of this tax base would mean that the legislature would have to come up with a new tax plan (s) quickly. Eymann said that the people of Oregon have only approved two tax proposals in the last 10 year s , both were cigarette taxes. As Wyatt puts it, "removing property tax as the educational funding base leaves little incentive for the public to install another tax to take its plac e." Should the measure pass , Eymann said, methods to replace the revenue include: a 150 per cent increase in state income tax, a 9 to 10 per cent sales tax, a one per cent value added tax on all state produced products, or elimination of the federal income tax deduction. There are many more possibilities, according to Eymann, but the fact is that it probably would take a combination of tax increases to come up with the necessary funding. Eymann points out that the people have already said "no" to tax increase many times in the past, especially in the case of a sales tax. Eymann thinks that public schools would be closed for at least the first six months of next year while the legislature worked out ( Continued on page 8) .. or• .., __J\ - II h.AII teno'-''em!

Shriver, whose marriage to E unice Kennedy 19 years ago made him a charter member of the Kennedy circle. has thus far carefully avoided painting himself as a bearer of the Kennedy legacy. Instead . in his campaign speeches, Shriver has drawn on his experiences with Lyndon Johnson, whom Shriver repeatedly describes as a great archi tect of domestic affairs.

The President ( Continued on page 8) has adopted a methodical, four-strategy plan to broaden t he party· s base and to make the GOP the majority party in America. Here are his four strategies: -Southern strategy-To break the Democratic party's hold on the South, Nixon began playing Southern politic~ in 1968. He promised a Su1ireme Court more sympathetic to the South and tried unsuccessfully ·to appoint a southerner to the first Supreme Court vacancy. The President also slowed down the rush to integrate the schools and came out against busing. -Catholic strategy- The President has courted Catholics assiduously by opposing abort ion and favoring federal aid to parochial schools. This is expected to cut into the traditional Democratic vote in Catholic parishes . - J ewish strategy - Nixon has taken a strong pro-Israel stand. which is winning Jewish votes away from the Democratic party . -Labor strategy-The President intervened to prevent the GOP from adopting its customary anti-labor platform. He also arranged to be at the golf course at the right time to join AFL-CIO chief George Meany for a round of golf. Afterward, the two men talked privately for more than an ·hour. Thereafter, Meany used his personal influence to try to stop individual unions from endorsing George McGovern. FRIEND OR FOE? President Nixon would like to be known as the consumer's friend. Yet it was the White House that delivered the final. killing blow to no-fault auto insurance. No-fault insurance would do away with the problem of deciding who 's responsible for auto accidents. Every driver would look to his own insurance company to pay his medical and repair bills. No longer would we need lawyers to settle accident case. This, of cqurse, would mean that trial lawyers would lose about a billion dollars a year in fees. Their loss would be the consumers' gain ultimately in the form of lo~er premiums. The bill that would have established a national no-fault system finally came to the Senate floor a few weeks ago, Despite the opposition of the trial lawyers, it was given a good chance to pass. But then the White House went to work. The President's team of lobbyists included David Gunning, who works for White House fixer Peter Flanigan. Wallace Johnson, the President's lobbyist in the Senate, also worked against the bill. The Department of Transportation contributed one of its congressional "liaison men," (Continued on page 8) THE (Editor's note: Before any election most newspapers begin taking sides with some candidate or issue.

Horton opened his presentation with an attack on the present system of prosecution in n a r c o t i c s trials and the Lane Inter-agency Narcotics Team (LINT). '' Incidental and casual use of marijuana is a misdemeanor and it should be treated as such. I think we should be more con cerned with the hard drug influx into the area," Horton said. The former deputy DA feels tax dollars are wasted with the filling of courtrooms with casual pot smokers. Horton voiced his displeasure with LINT, referring to a paid informant system as, '' Totally untenable to our s y s t e m of justice. I don't think it's respectable or honest, and it's certainly not professional." He suggested that trained policemen would be better suited for that kind of undercover work. Crime prevention was also emphasized by Horton. "The answer to drug abuse is not solely locking people up. You don't prevent crime that way," he said. He believes the problem could be licked if law enforcement would join hands with groups that approach drug abuse from medical and social points of view. After Horton delivered his un- pt'$ Members of the U of O and LCC Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VV AW) announced last week they will sponsor the film '' The Winter ~oldier Investigation" Monday on the U of 0 campus.

Concerning prosecution of marijuana arrests, Naslund said that neither he nor his deputies enjoy prosecuting marijuana possesion cases but,' 'I have to prosecute according to the law, and I encourage anyone who takes issue with the law to change it." Taking issue with Horton's condemnation of LINT's use of unprofessional paid informants, Naslund said, "There are no people in the field without police training doing any investigation on c rim in a 1 cases involving drugs." Naslund also answered charges that he had refused to meet Horton in debate. Naslund said that he appeared, as scheduled for a joint statement session at KZEL radio, but that Horton had not. Naslund labeled a Horton statement concerning a 1,000 per cent increase in "unnecessary" outof-county t rave 1 expense as ''flatly false." He said that he had checked with the budget coordinator for the county and had found "our budget for travel is actually down 10 per cent." He said that he didn't know where Horton had gotten his facts but that "Program budgeting is very complex and it's awful easy to say one thing or another.'' Naslund ''I'm taking a lot of heat with LINT but I'm not going to change my policies any, for political or any other reason," said incumbent District Attorney Robert Naslund, as he spoke to students at LCC Thursday. The Lane County Interagency Narcotics Team (LINT) has been the object of frequent criticism by Naslund's opponent. In defense of LINT's activities Naslund said that the police must investiagate where the hard drugs are and "where you find hard drugs you find marijuana- I r.< .

Being a cocktail waitress, a mother of two, and an assistant instructor is a heavy load for anyone, but Ms. Sharon Nail, a second year student of the Forestry Technician program ' seems to be holding her own very well. Ms. Nail works weekends as a cocktail waitress at the Eugene Hotel for banquets and dances, which, after tips, pays fairly well. "I'm definately not a Women's Lib activist," stated Ms. Nail. "I'm not even sure I understand this Women's Lib movement. I do feel that if a woman performs the same job as a man, she should be paid the same wages. This Women's Lib thing isn't what motivated me to choose this field of study." But she performs a job at LCC which has been traditionally filled by men. Ms. Nail grew up in the Junction City and Eugene area and lived on a small farm for five years. "I wanted to do something I was interested in," commented Ms. Nail. She inquired about an outdoors job for women at the Eugene Employment Office and they referred her to the Willamette National Forest Office and to LCC. When she talked to an LCC counselor, he told her of another woman, Janet Levinson, who had graduated from LCC and is presently working for the Bureau of Land Management in Eugene. John Phillips, an instructor in the Industrial Technology Department, again encouraged her and event- , 0 • The job possibilities for Ms. Nail after graduation should be good, as last year there were eight more jobs available than there were forestry students.

Several candidates to attend Senate sponsored 'fair' by Lee Beyer The LCC community will have a chance to meet many candidates running for state and local office without leaving the campus due to the efforts of LCC student Stan Nielsen. Nielsen has put together what he hopes will become the first annual LCC Candidate's Fair. ifeilsen, who is the LCC liaison for Congressman John Dellenback, said that the idea of the fair came to him when he noticed many students were unable to see or hear most of the people running for office. With idea in mind, Nielsen went to the Student Senate and asked for support, which included obtaining needed space for the event and some financial suppor~ mostly for advertisement. With the Senate's approval, Nielsen went about the task of getting in contact with each candidate and getting them to confirm an appearance. Nielsen said his main problem was getting the addresses and telephone numbers of the candidates. He said his first idea was to call the local headquarters of ~2>~., . a.1 i :'•Tl~ the Republican and Democratic parties. This method proved successful at the Republican camp, but when he called the Democrats he said he got such answers as "We're too busy,'' or "I don't have that list." Nielsen said he finally decided that they didn't have the information and so he decided to look elsewhere. His next idea, which proved successful, was to get a sample ballot - - with this list he was able to get in contact with most of the candidates and all that remains is to get a form letter mailed to each candidate for confirmation of appearances. Nielsen says that candidates or their representatives from every post from city offices on up to candidates for the presidency will be giving three to five minute speeches. The Candidate's Fair is scheduled for Nov. 1 in the Forum and Center Buildings, from noon to 2 p.m. Linfield symposia to be conducted -on environmental protection views LINFIELD COLLEGE, McMinnvilleJ Oregon--Linfield College is sponsoring three symposia on '' Man and Land: The Planning Process for the Uses of Space."

In this enlightened and modern day, genuine haunted houses are difficult to find, especially in the Eugene-Springfield area. But, for the past 10 years, the Cedar Branch Auxiliary has provided area residents with entertainment for the Halloween season by sponsoring a genuine haunted house as a benefit for the Boys and Girls Aid Society of Oregon. The house chosen each year to be haunted must be demolished after it is occupied by the local spooks--it is no longer fit for human haqitation. And each year, the selection of 'about-to-bedemolished' dwindles, and the project is in danger of being dropped for lack of an appropriate site. However, there will be a haunted house this year, says a soci1~ty spokesman. A large, empty house at 415 Country Club Road has been donated to the Cedar Branch for remodeling into a haunted house. The haunted house will be open for business Oct. 28 through 31. Anyone interested in helping with this project as carpenter or ghost, may call Cedar Branch President Phil Grant at 3449615, or Booth Manager Gary Timms at 688-0932. - TERM PAPERS Send for your descriptive, up-to-date, 128-page, mail order catalog of 2,300 quality termpapers.

Long a thorn in the side of the LCC athletic progr am, the old policy prohibited blue chip Titan athletes from participating in competition higher than regionals. ··Fru stration'' i s a nutshell description of the athletic sit uation of l as t year at LCC. Frustration due almost entirely to the r ece ntly sc r atched policy. Lane wrestler s Ken Kime and Murray Booth were both barred from national competition l ast year even though outside sources offered to pay the expenses of the two. In track and field, as well, athletes were also deprived of the highest ~ompetition -- t rackmen such as Steve Mar yanski, one of the top Javelin throwers i n the junior college r anks. Perhaps achievements will be even greater now that Titan athletes can look forward to the national s. Already, accor ding to athletic official s, pr actice sess i ons are showing more and mor e of the kind of effort it takes to be the best. Fr om Athletic Direc tor Bob Radcliff comes the predi ction that the present LCC cros s countr y team will be one of the top five in the nationals. ** * The Student Ski Associati on (SSA), a nation-wi de organization of skiing college students, has reduced the price of skiing -- that sport whe r e the pr er equi site was being a millionaire. The Student Ski Association , in conj unct ion with about 150 ski areas, offers a member ship progr am similar in concept to the airline's youth far e cards. This progr am is open to undergr aduate, vocati onal , and gr aduate students. The SSA was founded and i s directed by Kim Chaffee, a Harvard and Berkeley gr aduate, whose brother and sister are former Olympic skier s. L ast ye ar the membership totalled over 35,000 college students. SSA is recognized as the leading student group in skiing and works closely with various divisions of the United States Ski Association. This year the organization will be hosting a series of large intercollegiate ski festivals in the Rockies, Sierras, and in the Midwest. Membership in the SSA entitles students to savings of up to 50 per cent on lift tickets, lessons, and rentals during the week. Saturday, Sunday, and holidays the program brings at least a dollar savings on lift tickets. The five dollar membership is offered with a money-back guarantee through campus bookstores and by mail at the regional office:SSA West,Box 1138, Incline Village, Nevada 89450. A Salem Kicker heads the ball toward his goal by Morty StolickThe LCC Titan' socce r team used two goals in the last five minutes of Wednesday's game to down the University of Oregon Foreign Exchange Students, 6 to 4. But on Sunday the Titans, although using brilliant defensive maneuvers in the first half, made two costly errors which spelled defeat as the Salem Kickers overran the Titans by a score of 3 to 1. The overall record for the Titans now reads 5-1-1 and their league record stands at 4-1-0. During Wednesday's game,forward Edwin J affarian provided three goals for the Titans for their defeat of the U of O team. Even with their winning record, Coach GeorgeGyorgyfalvy says the team has some weaknesses. "We need to work on our passing attack and our inability to get the ball out f ram our defensive backfield,,, he explained.

The Board ·also agreed to drop its old policy that prohibited athletes from entering national meets. It adopted a policy instead that supports student participation in national events for those individuals and teams that qualify on a national level. The policy also includes other student activity areas, such as music and speech. But according to LCC President Eldon Schafer, the Mass Communications and Performing Arts Departments do not plan to compete in any national events this year. The break-down of the budget includes $2,150 in student body funds carried -over from last year's Athletic Department budget; $1,000 raised from private supporters; $1,000 from general fund resources; and $500 from the LCC Foundation resources.

The Board agreed with the Athletic Department in concept but there was a problem of funding. The Athletic Department said it didn't have enough money from the ASLCC and the idea of using taxpayer money for travel expenses was unacceptable. At its September meeting the Board ordered a committee be formed to investigate possible ways to fund national competition. The committee established the present funding which the Board aifroved. • = : I I .,. . \ '., • . .. v ·i:,, ...

In Sunday" s game Titan fans who arrived late missed all of the Titan scoring against thE Salem team as Mohammed Askar headed-in a corner shot with just 40 seconds gone in the first half. But that was the extent of the Titan scoring for the rest of the game. Early in the second half, the roof caved-in on the Titan's defense, when Bob Buss and Richard Cutler headed a Kickers' corner kick into the Titan goal. Goalie Al McKay made a desperate lunge to prevent the ball from going in , but the head-in was too good to be prevented.

Kelley ran the survey Spring Term to establish ". . • an idea of how students viewed the mass media, their difference in party affiliation and to establish some idea of students and their voting behaviors." Forty-seven per cent of the polled students at LCC felt the Vietnam war was the biggest issue facing Ame r i c a today. Seventeen per cent felt that the environment was the second biggest issue. A survey conducted by Newsweek magazine (Oct. 2, 1972) showed that 39 per cent of the 18 to 24 year olds surveyed felt that the Vietnam War was the largest issue. When LCC students were asked what information sources gave the most accurate and unbiased information , 46 per cent said television was the most accurate, magazines ranked second with 22 per cent. Television a Is o ranked n u m be r one for the medium most used by students for the most political informa tion. Mag a z in es, however ranked highest on the list (42 per cent) as giving the most complete information; television ranked second with 27 per cent, newspapers were third with 23 per cent. When asked if they thought voting in an election was worth- !t Clllytsst while and important, 93 per cent of the students polled said it was either very important or moderately important. But, when they were asked if they voted in the special election to raise the cigarrette tax, about 60 per cent said they had not. Eighty-six per cent of the students surveyed were registered to vote and 90 per cent intended to vote in the presidential election. Students who responded to the survey saw Richard Nixon as ''moderately conservative" and George McGovern as "moderately liberal:,, The_survey taken by Newsweek showed Nixon ranking over McGovern with 57 per cent of the votes. But in the LCC survey 67 per cent said they would vote for McGovern. Students at LCC, according to the survey, felt that they had trust in McGovern to solve the problems of the country, but the majority of these students indicated they could not trust Nixon to do the same. Kelley commented that, '' The survey taken at Lane was before the Eagleton affair. That .might have some effect on the results." But he continued, "Students during the election campaigns often change ideas about candidates. When the election comes most students go back to the first candidate." According to Kelley, "The survey was established after doing a pilot study on the subject. A 1a r g e r survey was taken throughout Eugene, Springfield, and Cottage Grove with the same material. This survey was taken before the primary election during the same week Governor Wallace was shot." utit by Ron Hamblen There is a myth of elitism connected with chess which produced the idea that only blue bloods could learn to play the game. This myth is probably based on something like, "A game takes so long to play that only the elite have the time to enjoy it" a sort of puritanical work ethic which decries sitting down to have fun (but sweating out a physical game is "OK"). Exercise is good for the soul, but sitting on the posterior is only for invalids and welfare frauds. However, there's alegendconnected with the invention of chess that throws a different light on this myth of chess and the elite. Once upon a time and long ago, in the land of Ancient East, it seems that a royal personage wanted a game that would reduce the popularity of Backgammon. Backgammon depends on chance, and the blue blood wanted a game for his court slackers which emphasized skill; he got chess. This royal personage was immensely pleased when he saw the invention, both with the game and the wise man who created chess. And, as usual in such tales, royal person offered the wise-but-common person Gold, Silver, Jewels, and Kingdoms as a reward. True to the form, a 11 these pecuniary remunerations were rejected. However (and let's give the wise-but-common person a wry smile to play with on his ageworn lips), the wise man calmly said: _______ L. It's The Royal Game because THEY play with me, not because I play with them. "Royal Person. No gold, silver, jewels or kingdoms will I take. Rather, as my reward I would be satisfied with the number of corn grains it would take to fill a chessboard if you placed One grain of corn on the first square, Two on the second, Four on the third, Eight on the fourth - and so on, sixty-four times." Remember that wry smile? The wise-but-common fellow was being wise. Without bothering the Math, or my head, the amount of corn in real terms is something over 200 tall mountains worth. As these things almost always come to in the final end, Royal Person was greatly gratified by the wit of the wise-but-common p e rs on (after the blue blood TRIED to get all that corn on the chessboard). And, so ends the first rec or ct e ct incidence of a commoner stomping a royalbut-not-so-wise person - on a chess board smeared with a porridge of corn kernels and blue blood. MORAL: Hate chess Kings, but pity the real ones. Fadeley reports·on child care by ing last week of 4-C staff, mothers, Ms. Fadeley and other legislators and the state administration, Gov. Tom McCall pledged part of the new revenue sharing money to the 4-C program. Ms. Fadeley introduced a bill during the last session, and if re-elected, hopes to see its passage this session that would treat the cost of care of children and invalids as a business expense on state income tax. This would confront the' law-makers with the importance of child care, even though some using it might be so poor as to pay no mcome taxes. In responding to questions a- Art Tegger bout what practical steps could be taken, Ms. Fadeley encouraged concern for the status of different day care programs. She urged students to acquire information and to make contacts with those in government who might be receptive to their cause. In response to specific questions which expressed frustration at bureaucrats and a belief that letters were thrown into the" round file," Ms. Fadeley urged her audience to get involved in partisan political campaigns. She also urged people to be aware of which committee works on which bills and who on that committee was amenable to persuasion. Briefs ... Nancie Fadeley Representative Nancie Fadeley spoke Wednesday night to the monthly seminar of students enrolled in the Early Childhood Training program at LCC. Ms. Fadeley, a Democrat campaigning for re-election from a district that includes Springfield, Glenwood, and East Eugene, discussed the outlook for programs in the training of young children. Looking at existing programs, legislation and possible budget cuts, Ms. Fadeley found reason for hoth optimism and pessimism. Some discouraging news for those concerned with early childhood care was the news from Salem and Washington last week that the 4-C care program would be cut six months into the fiscal year.

Even the Jq.stice Department sent two powerful operatives, Donald Santarelli and Paul Woodard, up to Capitol HiH to lobby against no-fault insurance. At least four Republican senators, we are told, were originally in favor of no-fault but their minds were changed by the White House team. By voting time, the administration knew the bill was dead. John Evans, a staff man for the President's domestic affairs adviser, John Erlichman, sat in the Senate gallery and witnessed the execution. It may have been a triumph for the White House. but it was a defeat for the nation's auto owners. Letters ... ( Continued from page 2) neglected.

( Continued from page 2) future funding. He added that schools could hardly ask qualified teachers and administrators that length of time unpaid while the state de<' lded how to finance educational programs. There is a high degree of possibility that Oregon could lose a lot of high quality educators if measure nine passes, Eymann said. U of O student body President Wyatt said that while he is concerned with the quality of all education in Oregon, as ASUO president he is particularly concerned with how the measure would affect the higher educational system. According to the Oregon Constitution, Wyatt said, the only funding for which the state is obligated is for primary and secOBdary education. He added that he felt there would be a real possibility that the legislature would take the funds currently used to operate the University and use them for supporting primary and secondary education. According to Wyatt this would probably mean that the students would have to carry the entire burden of supporting the University. If this came true, he said, "we would again see it possible for only the rich to get a c·Jllege education:' Eymann, speaking in the same vein, said that if the measure passes LCC students could count on at least doubled tuition and quite possibly the college would have to close because of lack of funds. (According to oDe estimate it could cost students over $500 a term for tuition if they had to carry the full financial load.) Eymann said that most people don't realize that many of the funds that are put up by local taxes and state aid are matched by federal monies, so if the local monies are lost the federal money is lost also. He said that he and most of the local legislators are speaking against the measure every chance they get and would like to see more people do the same. He added that most Democratic legislators have publicly opposed the measure. Wyatt said that he and his student group will be going to all the campuses in the state and speaking against the measure. According to ASLCC President Jay Bolton, a local campus group is just being formed and plans to work closely with other student groups against measure nine. ON OTHER CAMPUSES Linn-Benton Community College (LBCC) underwent anextensive investigation by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools during the week of Oct. 9th. The results of their findings will determine whether or not LBCC •merits recognition as an institution of higher learning. Although the college is already approved and accredited by the state of Oregon, the broader, regionally based approval is necessary in terms of programs, curriculum, and the transferability of credits. **** An interdisciplinary women's studies program has been proposed at the University of Oregon. The two rea~ons cited for developing such a program were that women have been ignored in nearly all areas of study, and that a number of women students want such a program initiated. The long range goal of the proposed program is full integration of the study of women into the university curriculum. **** Half Term, a program offering classes in six week periods which begin in the middle of a quarter and terminate at the end of that quarter w-ith full credit, will commence its second season at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington on Nov. 16. Half Term made its debut at Clark College last fall and was met with great success. I t is the first program of its kind anywhere, according to the school's recent bulletin. j
