Measure 9, lagoon discussed

Senate ratifies constitutio n

In surprisingly swift action the Student Senate voted unanimously on the final ratification
of the new ASLCC Constitution and By-Laws
Thursday afternoon. The Senate vote is subject
to the general student body election Nov. 15 and
160
"Wow, that was fast/' exclaimed J a y Bolton, ASLCC president, as the Senate vote capped 18 months work on the documentso This was
the third reading of the papers before the Senate, which produced little debate with only slight
modificiations to certain phrases with the documents.
other business on the agenda included a report
from Second Vice-President Chuck Packnett which
said that a stalemate had been reached by the
College's attorney on the lagoon-apartment situationo He said little new information is available to the Senate or the Board of Education.
Apparaently, Packnett said, the college could
sue the developers of the property on the grounds
of right to eminent domain." In other words,
the college could attempt to have the lagoon
condemned if they could prove that an additional
load from the apartments would be physically
impossible. But, to do this, LCC would have
to compensate the owners of the property for
the loss in value of the property, Packnett
saido

"For all intents and purposes," continued
Packnett, ''This would more or less mean the
college would buy the property. Which would
cost LCC an immense amount of money. At
this time the Board is not sure that it would
be willing to do that."
Jack Hart, ASLCC publicity director, successfully instigated a motion to give the Ethnic Studies and Flight Technology Departments
full representation in the Senate, a privilege
they have not enjoyed in the past. Bothfeshman and
sophomore senator positions will be open in the
upcoming election.
Hart explained to the TORCH that, '' Ethnic
Studies is a new department and Flight Technology has always come under the auspices of
the Vocational Technical Department so they
weren't represented before. But they have grown
so much that they are almost a department on
their own. I was appraoched by individuals of
the department who wanted to be represented.
I saw no reason that they shouldn't be." The
Senate agreed.
A former LCC student activities advisor, Betty Ekstrom, brought the Oregon Community College Association's (OCCA) case against Measure 9 before the Senate. She outlined some of

Dellenback brings campaign to LCC

By Lee Beyer

In answering a question on
military appropriations, Fourth
District Congressman John Dellenback said, "We're spending
more in that area than we ought
to be spending, I want to see us
spend less." He added that he has
voted against the ABM, the F-lll,
the Trident project, and more nuclear carriers. He said he also
voted for lowering the military
manpower ceiling.
Dellenback was on campus
speaking to a class in American
government. During his talk he
answered questions on state
government and the Klamath Indian Land.
Speaking on Oregon's legislature, Dellenback praised the system and said he felt they were
doing a good job. He added,
though, that he felt there was a
definite need for annual • legislative sessions. He said that with
the increased population and increased needs of the people that
the gap between sessions is too
great.
When questioned on the need
for a professional 1e g is 1at u re

such as California's, Dellenback
said that he did not feel Oregon
had the current need for one,
or could afford one. He added
that he liked the diversity of

John Dellenback

professions present in our current Legislature.
Responding to questions on the
Klamath Indian Lands, Dellenback said that he felt that the
lands should be bought by the federal government and put under

Pay increase for , vets official

President Nixon has signed a bill allowing for an increase in
benefits for veterans attending school on the GI Bill. And, according to the Eugene Veterans Administration Office, vets who registered
for classes and filled out the VA forms at the financial aids of,.
fice before Fall Term started, will not only receive the increase
on their first check (The increase is retroactive to the beginning
of the term) but should receive two monthly payments on one check.
According to the VA office the new bill contained a provision stipu'lating that GI payments will be made in advance. Under the old bill
a vet had to attend at least one month of school before any payments
were made. The first check can be expected about Nov.IO.
The new rates for vets will be: $220 for a single vet; $261
for a vet with one dependent; $298 for a vet with two dependents
and $18 for, every dependent after the first two.
More than 1,000 veterans attending school on the GI Bill are
enrolled this fall at LCC.
Of the total, 479 are signed up for vocational programs and 523
are enrolled in college transfer courses. Twenty-five of the veterans
are women, nine of whom are in LCC's vocational programs.

Forest Service control. What he
feared is if the lands were put up
for public sale, the people buying
the lands may havetologthemoff
in a short time in order to make
significant financial gains. Del•·
lenback said he felt the prime
purpose of putting the lands under the Forest Service would
be to instill a systematic logging plan that would not destroy
the area.
Dellenback said that he had
worked for passage of the bill
in the House, and lobbied for
its signing by the Administration.
He feels that his lobbying has
paid off because the P,resident
said, in his veto message, that
he agreed with the idea of the
purchase but had vetoed it because it was attached as a rider to the environmental bill.
Dellenback expressed hope for
pass age of legislation purchasing the lands in the early
days of the next congressional
session.

Performance scheduled

Richard Schmitt makes a final adjustment on one of the many
lights that wil be used in the LCC Performing Arts Department's
production of The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon
Marigolds November 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18. The play, directed
by George Lauris, was just . recently released after closing offBroadway after three years and 819 performances. It received
the New York Drama Critics Circle Award as the best play of
the season and the 1971 Pulitzer Prize and Obie Award for the
best off-Broadway play. Tickets are now on sale at the information
desk on the first floor of the Administration Bldg. for $1.50 a
piece--Reserved seating only. Next week the TORCH will give
readers a glimpse of the play. (Photo by Ole Hoskinson.)

LCC asking for 'financial stability'
Measure 21 (LCC measure)
goes before the voters Nov. 7
as an attempt to give LCC an
operating budget that will enable
the school to maintain its present level of services, according
to Dick Eymann, Acting Chief of
Community Services.
Eymann said since 1968 LCC
has outgrown every tax base voted on within a year's time.
The present tax base (about I. 7
million dollars) plus a budget tax
levy of $600,000 approved by the·
voters last spring and a six per
cent increase in the budget (all ow e d by the Oregon Constitution, isn't enough for the
present enrollment.
En r o 11 men t has increased
by 18, 20, and 25 per cent the
past few years, he pointed out.

The measure is asking for
$2,614,320 from the community.
In return the district says it
can maintain the college in the
1973-74 school year at the same
level it does not. "But," Eymann
added, ''LCC will need Measure
21 to do it."
Eymann continued, '' The tax
rate three years ago was $1.55
per thousand dollars of assessed
property value. With this new
tax base only $1.49 per thousand
dollars will be asked of the residents in the district."
The county is able to drop the
tax rate due to a steady increase in taxable property. In
other words, more property has
been developed increasing its
value. Also, homes worth $17,000
four years ago are now valued

at $20,000. The county is able
to lower the tax rate on property in the district because
it has more assessed value to
work with.
Ne it he r Eymann nor LCC
President Eldon Schafer would
make a prediction concerning
the outcome of the measure on
election day but both agreed that
it was a "fair measure and

Measure on ballot

l_ll/a4~'!f-q;,-R eultd {f-JACKANDERSOff

On Nov. 7 the citizens · of Oregon will have a chance to abolish
'Property taxes as a base for educational costs in this state. -irtlis
measure (Number 9 on the ballot) was placed on the ballot by an
initiative petition written and circulated by the Oregon Farm Bureau,
in the form of a constitutional amendment.
Under Oregon's Constitution, the state must provide the operating cost of a basic education (elementary and secondary). What
Measure 9 proposes is removal of all taxes from property assessed
for funding public education.
T!1e current cost of education in Oregon is approximately
380 million dollars a year, most of which is raised through property taxes. Elimination of this source of income for the school
system would mean that the state legislature would have to come
up with a tax plan(s) quickly to make up the loss.
Some of the possible methods for raising the needed revenue
in a short period of time would be: a 150 per cent increase in state
income tax, a 9 to 10 per cent sales tax, a one per cent valueadded tax on all Oregon produced products or elimination of the
federal income tax deduction. Considering the current taxpayer rebellion, it is highly unlikely that any of these proposals could be
approved.
With the possibility of no revenue for the next fiscal year there
is a likely pos,sibility that the Oregon school system would have to
be closed-down for a short period of time. At first glance, this
may not sound like much of a problem, but if one considers that
a large amount of educational cost is provided through federal
state matching fund programs, the cost is greatly amplified.
Many matching fund programs are set up on time periods, which
means if the state fails to provide its half of the money the federal
government withdraws its support and the state may not be eligible
for funding again for up to three years. With the loss of matching funds
the additional cost needed would increase and the taxpayer would endup paying more in the long run.
Another possibility is that the Oregon legislature would use
current higher education funtls to ftll-in for the funds needed to support basic schooling. This would mean that tuition, quite likely, would
double, and the student would have to pay the full cost of his education-practically eliminating opportunities for students in lower
income brackets and thus reducing his or her occupational adva.ncemoot. Most stude-nts seem to be ifl that bracket.
It should be noted that Oreg81l's government is not complet~ly
blind to the problems of its citizenry. Governor Torn McCall has
publicly condemned the current heavy reliance on property taxes
and has, with the help of his staff, worked out a tax plan which may
solve many of the current fiscal problems without the need for drastic
actions with uncontrollable results. Many members of the state
legislature have publiclyfavoredtheGovernor'sp lan. This is not saying the plan is perfect, but at least it's a constructive step in the
right direction rather than Measure 9's step into darkness.
In view of the possible repercussions of the passing of Measure 9, the TORCH strongly urges voters to defeat this-Measure.

MOTHER

By Jack Anderson

(Co~yrisht, 1972, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

WASHINGTON-The Agriculture Department
is quietly considering a provision to downgrade the
quality of Grade A butter.
For years, dairy associations have been
clamoring for the government to set lower standards - for butter and allow them to mix whey
cream with high quality sweet cream so they
can cut production costs.
Whey cteam, we all know, was the favorite
of Little Miss Muffet in the nursery rhyme.
But for most Americahs, whey cream tastes flat
and slightly sour.
Agriculture officials don't dispute our estimate
of whey cream. If lower butter standards are
authorized, they admit, Grade A butter could
taste a little· coarse or aged. But the officials
insist that the change would be "very slight."
Officially, the proposed new butter standards
would allow US Grade A butter to "possess
aged, bitter, coarse acid, flat, smothered and
storage. May possess feed and cooked (coarse)
flavors to a definite degree."
When we asked an Agriculture official about
these proposed changes, he gasped in disbelief.
"Does it really allow all that?n he asked.
The man who will finally decide whether to lower
the standard of butter will be Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, the same man who for months
bas been courting the favor of dairy associations
around the country. Butz's pr.edecessor, Clifford
Hardin, raised the milk price supports for dairymen a year ago last,March. Since then, the dairymen have poured more than $300,000 into GOP
campaign coffers.
It may be just a coincidence, but the final

day of filing on the new butter standards is November 7th. That's the same day American dairymen hope to see Richard Nixon re-elected President.
- Kaiser Foiled Again If the ITT affair has taught big business anything, it is the danger of putting its worst
schemes in writing. No matter how many paper
shredders a company may purchase, it takes only
one Xerox machine and an employee with a conscience to expose even the best kept corporate
secrets.
Each week, we receive dozens of anonymous
tips from disgruntled employees about corporate
misdeeds. S om e tips are accompanied with
incriminating documents. Occasionally, an employee is so enraged he even allows me to use
his name.
Such a man is Jim Edward$,· formerly Kaiser Aluminum's top salestna& in Miami. who
has opened up his personal files to us. They include company documents collected over nearly
two decades. Some are humorous; others are
downright outrageous.
For example, In April 1967, Edwards received
an inter-office memo from Kaiser's executive
headquarters in California~ The letter begins:
''Jim, Iwonder if your years of Miami experience could help on a matter of industrial
espionage..• "
The letter, written by Kaiser executive A.H.
Woodward, details a scheme to get inside test
results on some pool equipment for a Kaiser
customer named Air-Vent in Los Angeles. The

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:
I have come to the conclusion
that the crux Qf the 1972 Presidential campaign is of attitude.
Ramsey C I a r k has written,
"Some consider that man is essentially good and that, given the
chance, he will' develop as a
benign being." others consider
that man is essentially good and
benign being." Others co·nceive
man to be essentially evil and
believe that he must be controlled
for his own protection and the
existence of an ordered soceity.
To the former, "Liberty is
the essential condition for man
to develop fully the capabilities
for good within him. To the
latter, permissiveness will bring
out the basic weakness and selfishness of man, who must be
. carefully disciplined to control
his basic instincts."
Two distinct attitudes! two

Voters in Oregon's 39th Legislative District, which includes
Santa Clara, River Road, and parts of Northwest Eugene must
make a choice between two candidates for state representative-Democrat David Red Fox and Republican Wayne Whitehead. We
feel Red Fox would be the best choice of the two.
Red Fox, who is a political science maj01" at LCC, served
last year on the LCC Budget Committee and as the ASLCC Treasurer--a post he also holds this year. Because of Governor
McCall's proposed tax reforms for the state, and because of the
possible effects that Measure 9 could have on the education system
in this state if it were to pass, Red Fox's fiscal experience would
prove to be invaluable to the people of the 39th District and Oregon.
Red Fox has also had public service experience. Whitehead
has had none.
Red Fox has worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the
Fort Peck Reservation in Montana, and for the US Department
of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) at the Warm Springs
Indian Reservation
and the Chernawa Indian School in Salem.
In addition, Red Fox has worked with community organizations
such as the Bands for Britain project for Churchill High School
and spearheaded the National Tribal Chairman's Association Con-.
vention in Eugene this past summer.
When a subcommittee in the US House of Representative was
investigating a bill dealing with Native Americru:i education !n 1971
they invited Red Fox to speak before them. (By the way, Jhe bill
passed.) Further proof he works for people.
We also support Red Fox because of his recent statement
concerning racism in clubs and other organizations. The Eugene
Register-Guard posed the following questions to both candidates:
''How would you vote on a bill to cancel the liquor license of any
private club, lodge or faternal organization which discriminates
in membership on the basis of a race, religion, or sex?"
Red Fox responded that he would support legislation to repeal
their liquor license while Wkitehead said he· would not vote for that
type of legislation, but only legislation to repeal their tax exempt
status. (Then OregOll would only kave ricll ncist clubs.)
Rad Fox bas also. proven to be the type of person .whO warks
to correct his errors rather ttianattOlttmg•ohide them--sometlling
th.ri can't be said abtU too many p01iticfa1'lS.
In a TORCH editorial earlier this term, we questioned Rad
Fox's performance as ASLCC Treasurer. · (We ~a.id he was spending
too much time on his campaign.) But, rather than spend va.h.table
time defending himself, Red Fox assumed his duties and not only
fulfilled them, but excelled in them. Perhaps this is proof that he
also listens--everyone makes mistakes, but few will admit them.
We have seen many proposals go before the ASLCC Executive
Cabinet and Senate both last year and this term (programs that
would spend student money) and the person who has asked the most

The first concert of the season
for the LCC stage and symphonic bands will be held at Willamette High School Nov. 30 at
8 p.m., according to Gene Aitken,
of the Performing Arts
Department.
Aitken, director of tbe stage
bands, says the groups perform
rock, jazz, and classical literatures. Appearing exclusively
on the road, the bands have entertained at grade schools, high
schools, and colleges throughout the Northwest.
Members of the bands are
chcsen by auditions which are
open to the general studentbody.
Most of the band members come
from courses of study other than
music. One of the bands contains students from local high
schools.
Their participation,
explained Aitken, helps to upgrade the programs at their respective schools.

The Eugene Switchboa.r d, a
volunteer information and referral service, is short of manpower. "The biggest problem we
have is getting enough people to
help on a rdgular basis," stated Ron Saylor, a board member for Switchboard. The primary purpose is to provide the
entire community with reliable
information about places to stay,
rides, want ads, pets, church
notices, and what is going on in
the community.
According to Ms. Diana Terdin, coordinator for the project,
Switchboard needs volunteers
who could work answering the
phone twice a week on a regular
basis. The shifts are three and
four hours long, and the volunteers need to go over the daily
information before each shift.
With enough volunteers to work
two at a time, Switchboard could
install another telephone line to
handle the amount of people who
need to reach them.

Candidate's Fair Voc-ed expert to replace La Granduer
slated tomorrow
Candidates for local, state, and
national election are slated to
make brief remarks at noon tomorrow in room 301 of the Forum
Building, as part of LCC's Candidates Fair.
After · making their remarks,
the candidates will move to the
Center for an informal question
and answer period until 2 p.m.
In some instances, p~rticularly
concerning national races, a candidate will be represented by a
surrogate, said Stan Nielsen,
LCC student coordinator for the
event.
Some of the candidates (or their
representatives) lined up for the
Fair include Representative John
Dellenback, Secretary of State
Clay Myers, candidate for ats
torney general Joe Smith, Sen,
Mark Hatfield, and Wayne Morse,
Also appearing will be candidates
for local government.

An expert in vocational education has been hired as an associate
dean of instruction at LCC to replace Ray LaGrandeur who is now
direc~or of the Olympia Vocational Technical Institute near Olympia,
Washmgton.
The new dean, James R. Piercy, was assistant dean of instruction and director of vocational education and governmental affairs
at Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay before his
appointment at LCC.
Piercy received his bachelor of science degree in business
education from Western Washington College in 1959, and his masters
in education from the University of Washington in 1967. He specialized
in vocational administration.
An experienced teacher and administrator in both Oregon and
Washington, Pie~cey also was selected as one of the Outstanding
Young Men in America in 1964, is active in national vocational
education activities, and is the president of the Oregon Manpower
Training Association.
Piercey's selection will be confirmed by the LCC Board of
Education at the Board's next meeting, Nov. 8.

Increased communication between the staff and administration
is one of the goal:::- of newly
appointed Staff Personnel Policy
Committee (SPPC) Chairwoman,
Debbie Dagget.
Ms. Dagget, who was appointed
chairwoman after serving only
two months as a committee member, said she felt the time spent
negotiating could be reduced if
the groups would '' attempt to
understand or hear what the other
group is saying."
The seven member committee
handles negotiations for the staff
of LCC concerning working conditions, employee benefits, and
staff grievances, and is presently
working on a package to be presented to the Executive Board
at their November meeting.
In commenting on herposition,
Ms. Dagget said, "the job is
challenging, you can underline
that!" Ms. Dagget teaches in the
Physical Education Department
at LCC, and has coached Track
and Field and Field Hockey. She
feels that her coaching experience has helped in adjusting to the
pressures of her new job. "Both
are exhausting and time consum ing," she commented.

The student senate at Keene
State College recently passed a
resolution calling for an oncampus "over 21" club in which
alcohol would be served. The
proposition is expected to be presented to the president of the college in about a month, then to be
passed on to the college senate
and finally to the Board of Trustees.
The Plymouth State College
Student Senate passed a similar
proposal last year which was tabled by the Board of Trustees.
Debbie Nuehauser, president of
the Keene State Student Council, reported that discussion between PSC, New England College

The Latter Day Saints Student
Association is one ofLCC'smost

Starting out with five students
and building up to a current
enrollment of 40, enrollment has
increased 100 per cent in four
years.
And since the LIB church owns
a piece of land on the west side
of LCC, they would like to build
their own center'' so people would

to be installed in LCC library
A book security system costing $17,500 is being installed in the
LCC library. As an alternative to hiring guards to check all books,
the mechanical detection system should save approximately $30,000
over a five year period, according to Del Matheson, head librarian.
In the last three years the LCC library has lost over 4,700
books and, according to Matheson, the monetary loss is only part
of the problem. He said that students and library staff get very
upset when a book is not checked-out nor on the shelf. Usually
the missing books are those mostly needed by the students and
staff. Therefore, the main objective of the new device, said Matheson,
is to provide better service for those who use the library.
There were three book detection systems offered to the library
staff for consideration, but the staff selected the bid from the 3M
Company. Although the other two systems were about $5,000 cheaper,
they required a librarian to pass all books around a device which
would "read'' which books had been checked out, Matheson said.
But, according to Matheson, the 3M system eliminates this
inconvenience to the students. He explained that when a book is
checked-out it is "de-sensitized" and the student may then walk
in and out of the library without being disturbed by the system.
But if a student tries to leave the library without having the book
"de-sensitized" the exit turnstile will lock and a soft ch.i me will
sound. This system will detect books that have not been checkedout even if placed in brief cases, attache cases, or boolc bags.
It would cost the school about $50,000 over a five year period
for a hired staff to perform this same service, according to Matheson.
While not revealing all of the details of the 3M system, Matheson
did say that it involves placing a hidden marker in books and periodicals which emit a low frequency signal.
The new system should be in operation by the first of the year.

King voices views on environment

King stated that 50 per cent
of the pollution in the Willamette
Valley is from automobiles, and
that the Bonneville Power Administration, Portland Electric, and '
Eugene Water and Electric Board
(EWEB) must be concerned because they account for the major
regional power supply.

by Ron Hamblen
Playing. a complete game of'
chess is not the only way to
be perfect, good, or even to have
fun with the game. Chess has
almost as many variations as
poker. Some of these deviants
from "pure'' chess will improve
those skills that .produce a won
game, and most will amuse some
of the nuts all of the time and
all of the nuts some of the time.
Ever play "give-away" checkers?
Well, why not "give-away"
chess?
Purists may groan, but it is
an intriguing (also fast) variation---ruld "purists" are always
groaning anyway.
Give-away chess operates on
the same principle as give-away
checkers and should appeal to
he who likes same. The rules are
simple; whoever gets rid of their
pieces first is the winner. It
should be added that "Check"
doesn't count, because the King
can go any time, and the game
goes on in a true state of anarchy. Also, as in checkers, if
a piece can be taken it must
be taken.
A different, but not necessarilly more serious, way to practice i s by setting up a situation
where both sides are equal in
terms of material and position.
Then, play out the "game" with
a fellow chess nut. For kicks,
you could go back, set up the
same situation once more, and
play it again. But This Time
Take The Other Side! If you
played the White pieces the first
time, take the Black pieces the
second time.
.A real chess nut can go back
over the game later and find
out if the set-up really was equal

A "gambit" is a give-away that
gets back what was got by the
other guy.
for both sides-and develop a
greater perception of positional
chess by doing it. Those who
play for fun can just enjoy themselves, and, to the victor's cackle, there is always the rejoinder:
"I didn't really lose, the game
was a set-up-one that set me
up!"

In this set-up, White has the
better Pawn formation but Black
has very well placed Knights
(on QB5 and Q4) plus a more open
position. Therefore, Black should
try for a win before the game is
simplified (when the White Pawn
formation will become more potent). Who moves first? Why not
try it both ways?

Letta rs to the Editor ....

(Continued from page 2)

I for one, like Jack Anderson,
will cast my vote for freedom
on November 7th.
Rick Mathews

near Editor:
David Larry--one of the men
who is currently running for
Lane County Sheriff-has spoken
with a lot of people since his
campaign began about what they
see as their need to be more
directly involved with law enforcement in their communities.
He has said, "Citizens Advisory
Groups that represent the population of each community should
be meeting regularly with sheriff's deputies to discuss safety
needs and priorities in their
areas."
Once this kind of communication is established we can expect the quality of law enforcement to improve in Lane County:
with better conditions of public
safety and law enforcement officials who are more directly informed of the conditions that
may be confronting them.
Now we need to agree specifically on where these meetings
might be assembled in each community, when it would be most
desirable to have them, and what
other resources are available to
help the meetings run smoothly
(child care services for example,
to make it easier for people with
farpilies to attend.)
Please share any information
or ideas you have that would
help to establish this new com munication between our commu!lities and the sheriff's departme!lt. Send it to Community Relations Pro gr a m. c/ o David
Larry, Room 200, 610 Willamette
Street in Eugene and we will
assemble it for the benefit of
the New Sheriff-whomever he
may be.

Dear Editor:
This letter is also to the
;ASLCC. I think it's time that you
people face the reality of the
unreality of our present tax
structure. Measure 9, as proposed, is a compelling challenge
to repair the inequities of our
current taxation system. Perhaps
if your self-interested, partisan,
minds could visualize a uniform
income tax without loop-holes
and press for _it, instead of against

I

Measure 9 (a step towards that
goal), we would not have the
annual battles and worries over
tuition and taxation. It not only
would streamline collection but
would do away with corrupt assessment and adverse affects on
property owners like our aged.
Large land owners and corporations would be taxed on their
rip-off profit incomes and not
something insignificant to their
incomes like property tax. Businessmen in general could appreciate the eaualitv on that point.
Your self-motivated obstruction·
of th_e goals of Measure 9 will
only insure perpetuation of our
unjust system. Remember the
Band-aid Approach" ethic? Well,
let's do something about it. Now.
I further propose as a citizen/student to do away with djscriminatory taxes of all kinds
including luxury taxes, cigarette,
sales, and liquor or proposed motel/hotel taxes. Again, recall that
these are band-aids and not an
effective equitable approach. We
may find it necessary to suspend
our education or be temporarily
out of work by virtue of Measure
9 pulling the rug out from under
us, but let us not forget nor
be swayed into thinking: that anything but a radical approach will
compel the legislature to act.
The reluctance of Misters Beyer
and Eymann expressed in their
scare-tactic statistics obscure
our needs for reformo The temporary inconvenience c au s e d
would be a small price to pay
for thorough reforms.
If Measure 9 is passed it is
up to '' we the people'' then to
use our temporary inconvenience
and the time it affords us to
make sure the legislature acts
responsibly for all people. Equality Now, before (and after)
the Law.
Bill Long
Dear Editor:
In addition to being the Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Fourth District, I am a lawyer and a citizen of Lane County.
I know Bob Naslund, the incumbent candidate for District Attorney to be a decent, reasonable
and compassionate person. He
is doing a good, honest job in a
difficult, demanding position.
Even before the primary elec tion, I was publicly on record for
Bob Naslund. I still think he is
the better choice for· the important position of Lane County District Attorney.
Sincerely yours,
Charles o. Porter.

C~afts store proposed
as LCC student p·roject
Can you carve a wooden spoon? Stone-grind flour? Make jam
or build pots? According to Catherine Lauris, LCC Board of
Education member and one of the originators of the Saturday Market,
there may soon be a place for creative students to display and sell
their crafts.
At the Oct. 11 Board meeting Ms. Lauris suggested the idea
of a student craft store at which students can sell their crafts on
a consignment basis to members of the community. A percentage
of the money intake would be used to run the store itself, and perhaps some of the profits would be used to establish a travel fund
to send students to national music and science competition. Ms.
Lauris felt that the store would also benefit business education
students who could possibly manage the store under Supervised
Field Experience (SFE).
Ms. Lauris said that the store should have a central location
so that it could reach a major portion of the community, perhaps
a space donated as a public service by downtown merchants. She
felt that LCC students and faculty produce some "very fine crafts
and that LCC, being a community college, should have more participation in the community itself.
She said that LCC President Eldon Schafer is going to appoint
a committee to explore the possibility of, and guage student interest,
in such an undertaking.

there are students willing to participate in the program."
Dan Rosen, an LCC student who
has been employed full time at the
U of O for eight months, said
that the main advantage of CWE
is that "it gives people a chance
to make up their minds about
the field and to find out if they
really like it." Rosen, planning
to continue computer studies at
the U of O after earning a general

studies degree from LCC, commented that an '' operator needs
to know something about job Ianguage" and that CWE was "really
helpful" in stressing that area.

students to work in the school's
facilities for a specified amount
of time each week.
SFE students receive credit on
a three-to-one ratio (3 hrs/wk.
for 1 credit) says Ken Kirk, who
has been part of the program
since Summer Term.
It's a
"flexible program," Kirk said:
"It works around the student's
schedule." Most students work
about 15 hours weekly.
Kirk
said that "it (SFE) provides onthe-job experience until a job
turns up.''

Students at Linfield College will soon be able to spend one
college semester studying in Mexico. The Linfield faculty has just
approved an extension of the Linfield campus to Guadalajara, Mexico,
with the start of the program, called Lincampo, in the spring of
1973.
A house will be leased in Guadalajara to house approximately 20
Linfield students, and a resident professor who will teach two
courses during a semester at Lincampo.
One of the three courses that a student will take while at
Lincampo will be directly related to the Mexican political, social,
economic, cultural, historical, or geographic setting.
The Guadalajara extension is based on the belief that offcampus educational opportunities can be of benefit to the overall
educational experience of Linfield students.

Key issues spark hot race

Senatorial race: Vietnam, French Pete

for Fourth District 'Seat
by Steven Locke
As election day draws near, the battle for Oregon's Fourth
District Congressional Seat rages and has grown into a tug-of-:war
between Republican incumbent John Dellenback and Democrat Charles
Porter over key world, national, and local issues.
Porter views foreign policy with much concern, and has taken
a stron?; stand on it. Referring to the fact that over 40 per cent of the
income tax is spent on national defense anct other foreign policies;-'
he recently stressed it's importance to a group of LCC students,
saying, "I don't know what's more important than your pocketbook
and your brothers and sisters/'
As a former Fourth District Congressman, (1957-1960), Porter
stated that he would remain active in foreign affairs "helping those
who are trying to have a decent government," and would continue
to support general disarmament. He went on to say that "general
disarmament with certain safety precautions, is something that every
Congressman can and should work on."
A little more reserved than Porter, Dellenback tends to stick
to the middle of the road on foreign policy. "He Isn't an isolationist
and he certainly isn't an extremist, willing to give the President
the power to act alone on foreign policy," stated David Lohman,
Dellenback's campaign coordinator in Eugene.
Having already served six years in Congress, Dellenback has
worked hard for the "establishment of a worldwide peace." Even
though he supports Nixon's present Vietnam policy, he has strongly
voiced his disapproval of the present heavy bombing and mining of
North Vietnam, and has supported several different efforts to bring
the POW's home.
Dellenback believes that an immediate withdrawal from Indochina
through an established deadline would not serve the best purposes.
"He doesn't believe that we should let Hanoi have what they want,"

Charles Porter

John Dellenback

Lohman said. Lohman went on to say that the reason for opposrng
immediate withdrawal "is not a matter of saving face, but rather the
best way to solve the conflict.'f
Porter was among the first to oppose the war in Southeast
Asia. He recently stated that the war in Vietnam was "immoral,
illeg~l, and that we should get out of it as soon as possible."
tle al:So criticizes Dellenback for voting against bills which would
have stopped or hindered US involvement in Indochina.
On the question of amnrsty for those who have fled the country
in order to avoid military induction, Porter feels that it is "bes·t
to forgive, best to forget."
His opponent disagrees that the US should let the draft evaders
have amnesty while there are still American forces in Vietnam.
"It's terribly demoralizing and ethically wrong," Lohman stated.
"What we would be doing is telling our boys that what they are
doing is wrong, even though we as a country sent them over there."
Fanning the flames on local issues, Porter has accused Dellenback of poor campaign spending practices. Porter stated that
''Congressmen are gettin rich and - are looking out for their own
self-interest." He claimed that his opponent is "only representing the very rich,'r who in turn are supporting his campaign. He
went on to criticize Dellenback for not publicizing the value and
amount of stock he owns in banks and corporations.
Porter has also attacked Dellenback for accepting campaign
contributions from eight Blue River logging companies who wanted
to log the French Pete area. Porter said that over the past six
years these eight logging companies have contributed $6,700 to
Dellenback's campaign fund.
Lohman argued that Dellenback never took a stand on the logging
of French Pete. "It's not a Congressman's job to go over each valley and decide which one to log. Dellenback isn't a forester and
neither is any other Congressman. All he can do is follow the advice
of the Forest Service," stated Lohman. He said that campaign
funds go directly to the campaign treasury, thus Dellenback is
seldom aware of the source.
Earlier in the year, Lohman said, Dellenback "co-sponsored
a sweeping package of campaign reform bills." He also, according
to Lohman, was one of the first Congressmen to ever publicize
his campaign funds, and a list of his own personal investments.
Within the past two weeks he has opposed a bill which would weaken
the present campaign spending laws.
Dellenback's firm stand on keeping the present Oregon and
California (0&C) formula as it is, is another issue, which has
recently been challenged by Porter. The formula involves timber
sales on land which the federal government confiscated from the
O&C Railroad when it merged with Southern Pacific several years
ago.
The counties in which the O&C land is located receives 50
per cent of the money coming from the timber sales, the other

Mark Hatfield
by Doug Cudah.ey

The Oregon Senatorial race,
between incumbent Republican
Mark Ha tf i e 1d and Democrat
Wayne Morse, has several issues
revolving around the campaign-but the major issue appears to be
the Vietnam War.
Morse is campaigning hard on
the Vietnam issue, attacking the
Nixon Administration, accusing
them of prolonging the Vietnam
War.
Hatfield feels that Richard Nixon is Il!OVing in the right direction; but is moving too slowly
in bringing peace in Vietnam.
The incumbent feels that with
each new turn in the fighting in
Indochina it further serves to
emphasize the need for Congress
to examine its need for Cons tit u t ion a 1 responsibility and
exercise the power of the purse
by cutting off funds for Amorican involvement in the war.
Both candidates' backgrounds
prove that each has accomplished
gains in moves to end the war in
Southeast Asia.
In 1964, Morse first spoke
about Vietnam in the US Senate.
In fact, he spoke out against
the war on 69 occasions in an
attempt to get the Senate to
take a closer look at US involvement in Vietnam. In that
same year Morse, along with
Senator Gruening of Alaska, began a systematic discussion of
history involving the Vietnam
conflict within the confines of
the Senate. Gruening and Morse
were the only Senators to vote
against Johnson's Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.
Morse is also co-convener of
the Citizens' Committee for the
Three Point Program for Peace
in Vietnam which is a plan to
end the war and bring home the
prisoners of war. The program
also states that the US is prepared
to let the Vietnamese people settle their own internal affairs.
Senator Hatfield showed dissention toward the Vietnam War
in 1966 ·when at a Governors'
Conference he was the only gov.ernor to vote against the resolution which gave approval to
President Johns on' s Vietnam policies.
Hatfield feels that Congress
should exercise its power to cut
off funds for American involvem9nt in· Vietnam, providing the
return of our P0W's is established.
Another issue that developed
early in the campaign was the

Wayne Morse

proposed fate of the French Pete
area.
Hatfield supported deferral of
timber sales in the French Pete
area until a citizens groupwhich
objected to the proposed logging
of the French Pete basin, had
been heard. Hatfield carried back
to Washington DC the complaints
of this group which is in favor of
preserving the French Pete area
as a wilderness area.
The Republican Senator is in
favor of the multi-use program
for the French Pete area. The
p r o gram would include partial
logging and use certain areas
for primative campsites.

He i s now involved with a
Seu.ate Committee that is looking
into the possibilities ol removing
timber with balloons and helicopters, thus eliminating the construction of access roads into the
area: But he said he wou)d support access roads if the idea
of using aircraft proved futile.
Morse, on the other hand$ is
in opposition to any logging in
this area. He says that the French
Pete area should be set aside
with the Three Sisters Wilderness area-both are in the same
geographical area a n d border
upon one another.

Lane County commissioner position number three is up for
grabs in the election this year.
Three candidates, one a former
County Commissioner and the
others with relatively little political experJence, are seeking
the post. The main issue in the
election is how should the growth
of Lane County be controlled:
In ct e pen ct en t candidate Bill
Wooten, 38, is the former owner
of the 1 8dyssey Coffee House.
(It closect·recently due to Eugene
Urban renewal,)
'' The authority of local government,'' he says, "is real---the
ill fate of converting the upper
Willamette Valley into a replica
of Los Angelas or the good fortune of preventing that is within
the power of the Board of Commissioners to achieve."
Andy Maxon, 50, owns the
"Maxon Marine" dealership in
Eugene. Maxon, the Republican
candidate for commissioner, is
the only one of the candidates

formed 1990 Plan.

-Priorities spur sheriff race

David Larry

Barney lssel

The subject of Lane County Interagency Narcotics Team, LINT, brings all the candidates
to the firing line, each having his own ideas for
LINT.
Larry sees LINT as being possibly the
biggest misuse of law enforcement time, money,
and personnel imaginable. "Their (LINT's) main
target i s heavy dealers, but their statistics
don't bear that out," says Larry. He continues,
'' The amount of hard drugs LINTseized last year
comes to wh.at oRe dealer could bring in in a day,
and they (LINT) spent $153,000 to do it, $100,000
of it local money."
Issel, who helped establish LINT in 1968,
sees the program as having a different direction
than when it was originally established. The
origt l intention of LINT, according to Issel,
was to act as an investigation force seeking out
narcotics that are entering the county.
Issel says LINT is acting like a ''strike
force" which is an alteration from the original
plan for LINT. Issel feels that LINT is acting
like a '' a damn Mod Squad.''
Lieutenant Burks is not unhappy with LINT's
record, but feels that their statistical record
could be better. Burks, who works with LINT,
feels that LINT is moving more towards the
apprehension of hard drugs. According to Burks,
"we only have so much resources, and you have
to put them where the real problems are."
In reference to the question of campaign
finances the candidates expenses line up this way:
David Larry says that he has spent $300
on his campaign to date and has $3 in his account.
Barney Issel did not know how much he has .
spent to date; but did reveal that he spent
$1,300 in the primary.
David Burks said he has spent $5,000 in his
campaign to date.

LINT foremost topic
in DA race

David Burks

by Doug Cudahey

The main issue in the sheriff candidates' campaign in Lane County is their idea of the
priorities for that office.
David Burks, Democratic candidate and presently Lieutenant of Detectives for the Lane County
Sheriffs Department, is in favor of allowing the
department to run its present course and thus
guide it towards a better operating department.
The 38 year old candidate said the only problems
the department must deal witb are more joint
planning with other police agencies and upgrading
records and communications.
Barney Issel, Republican candidate and former
police chief of Cottage Grove, is looking for
innovation and is proposing a better program
ht the area of correetions if he is elected.
Issel recently returned from American Samoa
where he was director of public safety.
Issel, 41, feels that the Sheriff's Department
is bogged down in routine work and is overlooking
what he feels should be the top priority--violent
crimes.
David Larry, Independent candidate, unlike
his opponents, has no background in law enforcement. He sees the problems of the Sheriff's
Department as being enforcement policies, training and community relations. Larry has taught
English on the high school level and has worked
as a case worker for the Lane County Welfare
Department.
According to David Larry the top priority is
community relations. Larry feels that by having
deputies work a certain area and become familiar
with problems that exist in that area-the officers
would have a good understanding of the priorities
in that particular area.
'' More policemen are killed in family beefs
than all other causes," says Larry. And he went
further to say that police training in "family
relations is poor."

mentary constitutional principal
that Congress cannot delegate
legislative power to the President. Morse sees the Amt1rican
people finding themselves in a
political predicament in which
the President, and his appointed
controllers, exercise a dangerous degree of dictatorial pow ..
ers over much of the nation's economy. The former Senator is
convinced- that the Nixon Administration is playing into the hands
of large corporations by allowing them to go virtually unchecked
while the working people endure
an unjust price freeze.
Wayne Morse has also stressed the necessity for Congress
to reorder its priorities and
take a look at what power it
has invested in President Nixon
and the Central Intelligency Agency (CIA).
Morse thinks that the check
and balance system that is employed in our government is being misused and the check and
balance system, according to the
former Senator, is essential if
the US is to maintain a system
of constitutional s e If - government.
Hatfield graduated from Willamette University and later received a master's degree from
Stanford.

Morse graduated from the University of Wisconsin where he
earned a master's degree; he also
has a law degree.

Robert Naslund

J. Pat Horton
·by Doug Cudahey

LINT (Lane lnteragency Narcotics Team) appears to be the main
issue in the Lane County District Attorney Race.
'' Incidental and casual use of marijuana is a misdemeanor
and it should be treated as such. I think we should be more concerned
with the hard drugs influx into the area," according to Pat Horton,
candidate for District Attorney in Lane County, and previously
Deputy District Attorney of Lane County.
Horton is not in favor of the informant system employed by
LINT. Horton sees this act as totally untenable to our system of
justice. "I don't think it's respectable or honest, and its certainly
not professional," said Horton.
. Horton suggests tut trained policeman would better be suited
for this work.
.
Robert Nasland, presently District Attorney of Lane County,
says ''I'm taking alot of heat with LINT but I'm not going to change
my polices any, for political or any other reason.''
In defense of LINT's activities Nasland says that the police
must investigate where the hard drugs are and "where you find
hard drugs you find marijuana--they run in the same circles."
Nasland went on to say that "we confiscate a lot of marijuana
because there's a lot of it around with the hard drugs." Concerning
prosecution of marijuana users Nasland said "I have to prosecute
according to the law.'' Nasland said he encourages anyone who
takes issue with the law to change it.
McGovern ... (Continued from page 1)

Karl Mundt, a race he lost. His in-state campaigning for John F.
Kennedy, a Catholic, is said to have been a main factor for McGovern's loss in his heavily Protestant state.
He then took his first try at public administration as Director
of the Foods for Peace program under the Kennedy Administration.
Under McGovern's directorship the program was vastly expanded
as he became very concerned with helping impoverished people.
McGovern returned to the political stump again in a 1962 bid
for an open Senate Seat in his home state. This time he was successful. being elected over his Republican opponent by a large margin.
In his sixteen years in Washington McGove n has been termed
by many as a liberal. This could be due to his open style and his
moral views of helping those less fortuante. During his legislative
career he compiled a labor voting record, rated by AFL-CIO as
100 per cent during most of his career and an overall rating of 97
per cent. McGovern's career strongly shows a concern for civil
liberties; he advocates an "open" government, strongly opposes
wire-tapping, and wants to repeal "no-knock" and preventive detention laws. He strongly advocates raising the living standards of
the lower and lower-middle classes, and taxing the wealthy classes
more heavily. Along with this same idea, he has advocated the
federal government take a more active role in providing jobs for
people who want to work but aren't able to find employment.

the sam~ House committee as Nixon. Unlike Ni~on, Ms. Gahagan had
come out of the primary badly scarredbyher Democratic rivals who
had accused her of conspiring against America. Nixon won this one and
as history tells it, used his victory to step towards the vice-presidency.
General Eisenhower picked the young Senator to unify the party.
All went well until a journalist exposed an alleged "trust fund" to
which businessmen were said to have contributed for Nixon.
Nixon went on TV, and delivered what is now judged a brilliant
talk, called the "Checker's Speech," in which he appealed to the com mon man of America, saying he was one of them that his wife wore a
cloth coat, and that his little mongrel dog ( Checkers) was given to his
daughter, and he refused to give up such a gift for political advantage. America accepted his statements.
Following Ike, Nixon tried to step up again, but he suffered defeat trying to match personality and public image with JFK.
Defeated, he returned to California, and entered the gubernatorial race against Gov. Pat Brown. But he was defeated once more,
this time finding his former stands on Communism lacking appeal.
In 1968, claiming that the Democrats had split America down
the middle, wagged war while the home front ·was besieged by increased crime, drug problems, campus revolt, and social strife,he

Community College to operate at approximately
the same enrollment level as that anticipated
during 1972-73.
The current level of operational tax support
is estimated at $2,390,798 for 1972-73. This includes the current tax base of $1,786,524 plus

tax base of $3,327, 96~ a new city tax base
of $4,328,000 for purposes of the tax limitation
imposed by Article XI, Section 11, of the Oregon Constitution.
EXPLANATION OF PROPOSED TAX BASE. The
annexation of a number of large areas to the
City of Eugene and the extensive new residential development in various localities in the
City have greatly increased the needs of per- sons and property in the City for better fire
protection. The present tax base of the City,
under present demands for City services, is
inadequate to finance the additional fire protection necessitated by the annexations and the
new development. The proposed new tax base
is needed to finance this additional fire protection.

Porter, Dellen back...

(Continued from page 2)

Dellenback claims that the O&C- formula, which
benefits 18 Oregon counties, is defensible because
he is a member of the House Interior Committee.
and because Senator Mark Hatfield is a member
of two such committees, and together they can fend
off attacks on O&C.
Porter stated that waiting for the formula to be
attacked would be disaste rous. He explained that he
plans to introduce bills which would put the O&C
lands and other federal lands on the public tax rolls.
Even though this might kill the present O&C formula,
Porter feels that the revenue from the income, property, and sales tax would make up for the loss.

'' We must have economic stability in Lane
County/' Maxon said. Wewillhavegrow thwhether
we want it or not. We need -the imput of business)
but only that which is ecologically sound. We
must maintain an economy at a level that will
sustain people.
Frank Elliot, 61, is a real estate agent with
Dean Vincent Inc. in Eugene. He won the Democratic nomination in a close race with six other
candidates.
Elliot, a County Com~issioner between 1961
and 1972 disagrees with the effects of grouping of
individuals in urban areas and leaving the rest
of the county relatively undeveloped, as called
for in the 1990 Plan.
"We should move people out from the cities
and scatter them. It's not any ·cheaper to live
in urban clusters. There are a lot of psychological effects on people who live in urban areas."
Elliot believes ·-that budgets can be cut and
feels that his 10 years as Commissioner will
make him more efficient than the other candidates. "I know the ropes," he explained.
Wooten particularly cites the new 10 million
dollar offic~ building the county is acquiring as
an example of over spending. "Small independent
county offices should have been built. Each would
have offices of each county department and each
would have public health facilities and a fulltime nurse," WootPn says.
