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 (Continued on page 8) 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.

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 (Continued on page 8) Position Open The Con c re t e Statement, LCC's literary-art magazine needs an editor.

TORCH October 31, 1972 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 $300,000 into GOP campaign coffers. It may be just a coincidence, but the final .. ' .. -,~~~•,t'-r-,.11.,; ...\, ..... '-., '>.,,_I\.'·'!-"'~-... day of filing on the new butter standards is November 7th. That's the same day American dairymen hope to see Richard Nixon re-elected President. - Kaiser Foiled Again If the ITT affair has taught big business anything, it is the danger of putting its worst schemes in writing. No matter how many paper shredders a company may purchase, it takes only one Xerox machine and an employee with a conscience to expose even the best kept corporate secrets. Each week, we receive dozens of anonymous tips from disgruntled employees about corporate misdeeds. S om e tips are accompanied with incriminating documents. Occasionally, an employee is so enraged he even allows me to use his name. Such a man is Jim Edward$,· 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 (Continued on page 8) 0 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 (Continued on page 8) , WHAT 1972 Pulitzer Prize Winner for National Reporting- Red Fox best choice ":·..•· ,.')),. ,.

Switchboard seeks October 31, 1972 Bands to stage help first performance •serve community 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. volunteers to 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. TORCH 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.

Possibly, this problem will be worked out when the proposition is sent to the Student Union Board prior to its acceptance or rejection by the college presi- 519 GLENROCK AVE., SUITE 203 LOS ANGELES, CALIF. 90024 (213) 477-8474 • 477-5493 M 0 campus pubs jcent.er desire1 .

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. * ** CHRISTMAS VACATION in N.Y., Vermont, L.A., etc. NOW YOU CAN AFFORD IT.

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!"

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? As a veteran attending U of O, you can_get all the advantages of ROTC with about half the time and work that a nonveteran student would have to put in. And the advantages of ROTC are very real- especially for you. Your military experience may serve as total credit for the ROTC Basic Course. That means you skip the freshman and sophomore years of ROTC. Nor will you have to take the six-week.Basic Camp between your sophomore and junior years. You are probably already elig1ble, without any further instruction, for Advanced Army ROTC An ROTC graduate earns not only a degree in his discipline, bµt an Army officer's commission. Most ROTC graduates are offered a Reserve commission. A selected few are offered Regular Army commissions. As a veteran, you have the inside track on a Regular Army commission. Moreover, whichever commission you get, Regular or Reserve, all of your prior service will count toward your longevity pay and retirement. ROTC experience is also helpful in a civilian career. Of all the college graduates in the United States, only 4 percent have had the Los Angeles, Ca. (CPS}-A hamburger stand here became the target of an anti-meat demonstration in which two persons were arrested for trespassing when they tried to usher a cow into the restaurant. :;~=~ Two dozen vegetarians chose the hamburger stand for their demonstration because it is part of a nationwide chain that sells large quantities of meat. They passed out free vegetables, ate vegetableburgers and chanted "Love animals, don't eat them." But when they tried to bring the cow (which had arrived with a chicken in a limousine) inside two of the demonstrators were placed under citizen's arrest and the others dispersed. benefit of ROTC instruction. But from this small group have come 23 percent of the business executives earning more than $100,000 a year; 16 percent of our Governors; 16 percent of our Congressmen; 24 percent of our Senators. These statistics indicate the value of Army ROTC. No matter what career the Army ROTC graduate chooses; he starts out with a very real, and widely recognized leadership experience. Employers look • for the very qualihcations the ROTC graduate has already proved he possesses. Sebolarshlps OOPIRG, "Coordinated air quality testimony for Oregon environmentalists and significantly improved Oregon's Air Quality Implementation plan; conducted a study of meat inspection practices in Oregon, discovering inadequ3:cies and helping to change meat inspection policies of the Oregon Department of Agriculture; and curtailed the City of Portland's practice of dumping asphalt on the banks of the Willamette River." Haterius mentioned several other areas of recent OOPIRG investigation, and he said "LCC OOPIRG is planning a study of used car practices in Lane County, with results of the study to be sent to Senator Packwood and the Oregon legislature." He also mentioned two federal consumer oills awaiting passage in Washington, D.C. on used car practices: "OOPIRG could help the passage . of the bills with some research done by LCCOOPIRG," he said. Two executive offkN~ from the Oregon Student Public Interest Research 'firoup (OOPIRG) wil be on campus tomorrow to meet students and discuss OOPIRG's first year of funding and xesearch. OOPIRG, through the use of $150,000 a year from 13 two and four-year schools, investigates and researches environmental and consumer problems in the state. From OOPIRG's state office in Portland, Director Steve McCarthy and new OOPIRG_ staff attorney and consumer researcher Neil Roblee will be on the LCC campus from noon to 1 p.m. and from 4 to 5 p.m. tomorrow in the OOPIRG office, 235 Center. Students with questions about OOPIRG, or students wishing to run for the six LCC-OOPIRG Board positions, can meet witb the representatives and with John Haterius, LCC chairman. According to Haterius, in its first year as an environmental and consumer ''watchdog," You are also eligible to try for an ROTC scholarship while you are in college. These are full scholarships awarded on a competitive basis. If you get a scholarship, your tuition, books and fees are paid and you get · a monthly cash allowance, besides. This can be more valuable than your G.I. Bill benefits. Whether or not you get a scholarship, your ROTC books and uniforms are paid for.

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. Roberta Ann Hinds 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.

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. often receive more requests than 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. A similar dataprocessingprogram which caters to individual . . . studen~ needs is Super_vised Field Experience (SFE), which enables 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.'' There is a "scarcity of jobs in the Eugene-Springfield area" Madill acknowledges, but he stated that this is the case for those people who lack practical com- Measure 21. .. 0 puter programing or operations experience, and that the situation is likely to change as "smaller type computers" are adopted by local business and industry. ~he irony o~ the curre~t si~uahon, accordmg to Madill, 1s that students are not aware of this situation and are not taking part in the CWE and SFE programs that supply job experience. For further information about CWE or SFE contact Bill Madill through the Data Processing Department. ( Editorial...

" ON OTHER CAMPUSES ~----For the first time in the history of the school, the Clark College Council of Representatives has removed a student government president from his post. The student governing body voted to release Steve Graham from his duties as president of the stu,dent government because, as reported in that school's paper, The Progress 1 Graham had not fulfilled the responsibilities required to maintain that office. According to the paper, "The removal came about after Student Programs Director Lee Partain advised the council that Graham was not a registered full-time student. The investigation into Graham's academic status was made after Partain received complaints of Graham's absence from COR meetings and other activities which the ASCC president is bound by the Clark constitution to attend. *** 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.

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 50 per cent goes to the federal government. Porter stated that it would only be a matter of time before the formul:i would be attacked by Congressmen from other states and the money involvedJ lost. ( Continued on page 4) t3W.i.f:fW 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. (Continued on page 3) Grow.th control cited William Wooten Andv Maxon by Barry Hood 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 frank Elliot who supports the Eugene's newly formed 1990 Plan. The 1990 Plan is the long term plan for Lane County based on the assumption that ,people should be grouped in urban centers with the rest of the county remaining rural. It states that by limiting such services as water or sewage (Continued on page 4) -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.

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."

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. Nixon... (Continued fr:om page 1) 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 strur k the notes to which most Americans were attuned: He also promised to end the war,quickly, and control inflation. H e now claims to have been victorious in these efforts, and in foreign policy. And he seeks re-election on these new pla_tforms. . Stat e, Cou nty, City ball ot mea sure s State Measures ELIMINATES LOCATION RE QUIRE ) MENTS FOR STATE INSTITUTIONS-Purpose; This measure repeals Section 3 of Article XIV of the Oregon Constiution which provides that no public institution .f the state (except those established before ovember 4, 1958) may be located outside Maion County unless so ordered by an Act of the egislature which is ratified by vote of the peole at the following general election. QUALIFICIATIONS FOR SHERIFF SET BY LEGISLATURE -Purpose: Amends Section 8, Article VI, Oregon Constitution to permit the qualification s of the county sheriff to be established by the legislature. Under present law there are no professional qualifications required for the office of county sheriff. Also deletes obsolete references to the offices and duties of precinct and township officers. 2 AMENOO CbUNTY PURCHASE AND LEASE LIMITATIONS--P u r po s e : Amends constitutional limit on indebtedness of counties to permit counties to enter into purchase or lease agreements up to ten years if the amount payable annually on all such agreements does not exceed 1/100 of 1% of the taxable value of all property in county or $5,000, whichever is greater; also permits long-term service agreements with the state. 3 CHANGES STATE CONSTITUTION PR0VISION REGARDING RELIGION-Pur pose: Amends Oregon Constitution to provide as follows."The Legislative Assemblv shall ma·ke no law respecting an establishment of religion, _or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Repeals existing constitution provision which reads: ''No money shall be drawn from the Treasury for the benefit of any religeous (sic) or theological-" institution, nor shall any money be appropriated for the payment of any religeous (sic) services in either house of the Legislative Assembly." 4 MINIMUM JURY SIZE OF SIX MEMBERS-Purpose : This measure adds the following language to Article -VII (Amended), 0 reg on Constitution: '' Provision may be made by law for juries consisting of less than 12 but not less than six jurors." S ~ROADENS ELIGIBILITY FOR VETERANS' LOANS-Purpos e: Amends Oregon Constitution to liberalize eligibility requirements for veterans' loans forcertain Oregon residents who served in the armed forces ·between 1940-47 and 1950-60. Also provides for eligibility of certain spouses whose husbands were killed , missing in action or prisoners of war. 6 RE PEALS GOVERNORS'. RE TIREMENT ACT-Purpose: Measure would repeal 1971 legislative act establishing retirement fund for the office of governor. Any person who served as governor for two years upon retirement from public employment, Oregon or federal, is entitled to pension equal to 45 percent of his salary. However, benefits are reduced by amounts received from other public retirement programs. Retirement fund is financed by legislative appropriations, donations, and contributions from governor's salary in the amount of 7 percent.

(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. Commissioner's race ...

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.
