Auditors discover
records problem
Staff problems blamed
by Lee Beyer

L

A recent audit of the Financial Aids Office by a professional
accounting firm discovered serious problems "in the handling of
student records and funds." In answer to auditors' claims, the Dean
of Students and the Financial Aids Director seem to be in disagreement.
Pointing out some of the problems, the auditors said they
found ·' .•. numerous instances of continuing non-compliance, ... and
irrefutable disregard for federally-established procedural requirements in the administration of student-aid programs."
The problems pointed-out include a lack of documentation in
financial aids records, a lack of potential collectability as a concern
for granting loans, lack of adequate collection procedures, and a
total lack of exit interviews for students on loans.
In an interview with the TORCH, Dean of Students Jack Carter
said he felt most of the problems in the Financial Aids Office were'
procedural and have been resolved, or are in the process of being·
resolved. However, in a separate interview last week, Ms. Frances
Howard, director of the Financial Aids Office, disagreed with Dean
Carter, saying that the problem of documentation can never bl?
resolved with the present staff size. Documentation concerns the
correct completion of government forms.
The matter of documentation, Carter said, was just a problem
of getting things done in a busy office. Carter said that he refused
to blame the problem on a lack of staffing.
Ms. Howard said that the Financial Aids Office is entirely
student-oriented and less concerned with paper matters. She said,
"I'm sure the administrators don't agree with me; their solution

is:' Ms. Howard could spend more time on records and less with
students.' I think students are top priority.''

Couldn't let go

•
Edinger's w,n
both cars, hands down
LCC student Dave Edinger says he is "still
burnt out.1' But for good reason--Edinger just
spent nine days standing in a parking lot with
his hands on a Toyota. But because he did
hold his hands on the car that long Edinger
now owns a $2,000, 1972 Toyota Corona.
The feat was part of a '' Put Your Hands
on a Toyota" marathon sponsored by Vic Alfonso, a local Toyota deale.c. The rules stipulated that whoever could hold their hands on
the car the longest (with only two 15-minute
breaks every 24 hours) would win the car.
The participants had to remain in a standing
position and keep both feet on the ground.
The second-year television major said he
had to drop some of his classes to participate
in the contest and is "way behind in all the
others."
Edinger said his biggest problem was sleeping, explaining that it's difficult to sleep standing
up. Also he said, the traffic "is enough to drive
you crazy." His wife said she had to bring
him cotton for his ears so he could get some
sleep.

Located next to the car dealership is a steak
house that caused Edinger some problems--his
wife explained all he could talk about, after
watching people go in and out of the steak
house all day, was a steak. He didn't get his
steak until after he had won the car.
Dave stood with his hands on the car for
216 hours which sets a new record for this
type of contest. The winner of a similar contest held in Hartford, Connecticut, stood for
187 hours. Edinger's nearest competitor stood
for only five days.
Edinger said most contestants had trouble
with swelling legs. He explained he was able
to overcome the problem by doing excercises
and walking around the car.
But the 1972 Toyota isn't the only prize
the Edingers won. According to the contest
rules the person who could guess what the winning time would be would win a $1,200 used
Toyota. Who won that car? His wife, Vonda,
with a guess of 216 hours. A friend made the
second closest guess and won a color television.

LCC health coordinator initiates resolutions
by Terri Whitman

John Loeber

LCC's Student Health Coordinator John Loeber emerged as a
student leader at the 36th annual Pacific Coast College Health
Association convention held in Tuscon, Arizona two weeks ago.
Laura Oswalt, director of Student Health Services at LCC,
joined Loeber in attending the convention on Nov. 13 through 15.
It was the first time in the Association's history that students
were invited to participate.
Loeber coordinated student efforts .to present two resolutions
to the convention. Those resolutions were: that the organization
appoint official student representation with equal voting rights;
and that the organization make recommendations to school representatives that they form an executive committee to oversee the growth
of student health services. Both resolutions were adopted by the
convention.
Loeber told the TORCH that LCC1 s health services operation
is" number one 11 in comparison with others represented at the

with the advanced services next year, students need to get involved now so they will know what is going on.

Last year, Ms. Howard said, her office requested one more
staff member, but because of budget cuts didn't get one. According
to Dean Carter's office, the Financial Aids office, in their budget
request for this year, had asked for one additional staff member. Instead, one of their present staff members' working time was increased from one-half to three-quarter time.
Ms. Howard explained that presently financial aids has little
access to the college's computer to keep track of students. She
explained that the computer works on a priority basis, and up until
now the financial aids program was low priority.
Ms. Howard and Vern Whittaker, LCC accountant, said, hopefully all this will be resolved with the completion of a total system
which is projected for the future. This system would tell the
Financial Aids office how much money and the source from which
a student is getting his funds. This system would tell if a student
was receiving more than one check from the college.
Carter felt much of the staff problems would be resolved with
the establishment of a Veterans Affairs Office. This, he said, will
take part of the load off the Financial Aids office.
When asked about plans to create a veterans office separate
from Financial Aids, and if it would reduce her office's work
load, Ms. Ho\y'ard explained that tentative plans are to establish
the vets office around the first of the year, and the new office will
expand the current services offered to vets. She explained that the
new office will not cut down on her work but really increase it
because she will still be in charge of the financial aids, plus the
new expanded vets department. She said there is no way to expand .
services a~d cut the work load at the same time.
In speaking of the loan granting criteria, Dean Carter disagreed
with the auditors in that he feels the needy students are the ones
who should get the money and, in many cases, these are the people
to whom most loan companies and banks will not loan money.
Carter said there was some contradiction in federal guidelines
for loan granting and said that the College has taken the initiative
to ask the government to qualify itself on this dilemma.
.Carter explained that the collection problem was merely an
administrative matter. The auditors had pointed out that the college
had not gone far enough in the past to insure that loan funds would
be repaid. Carter explained that to fullfill this requirement the
<::ollege has now contracted with a collection agency to obtain
delinquent accounts.
According to Carter and Whittaker, the matter of exit intervfews was simply a matter of finding a way to inform the students
who have outstanding loans that they were required to repay within
the required time frame. Whittaker said that the exit interviews
will now be handled by sending out a form letter to the students
informing them of their responsibility.
The TORCH has been decreased
in size this week because of the
Thanksgiving holiday. Next week's
issue will be a 16-page special.
Besides other news items the special will contain an investigative
look at Vietnam era veterans on
the LCC campus and a comparison of LCC1s bookstore with other
Oregon college bookstores.

Proiect Foresight explained by c ., ay Myers

letters to

to stimulate av,areness on valley's gro~th
By

Robin Burns
Urban sprawl, pollution, and
gigantic freeways decorating the
valley floor? Or clustered communities and housing, an integrated system of public transit,
and a dispersal of the economic
base across the entire state?

According to Secretary of State
Clay Myers it is up to local
citizens to decide which direction
the growth and development of
the Willamette Valley will go in
the next three decades.
Myers spoke in Euge 1 1e Friday, Nov. 17 for Project Foresight, a traveling slide show
depicting alternate futures for
the Willamette Valley. The goal
of Project Foresight is to stimulate public awareness of the
problems and decisions involved
in the growth and development
of the Willamette Valley for the
next three decades, and to focus
that awareness on the 1973 session of the legislature, Myers
explained.
The slide show, (researched
and compiled by the San Francisco firm of Lawrence Halprin
and Associates for the Willamette
Valley Environmental Protection
and Development Planning Coun-

cil), illustrated two possible
scenarios of the Willamette Valley in the year 2002-30 years
from now.
The first scenario presented
the extension of current trends
in the valley: An intricate pattern
of freeways on the valley floor;
the decline of farming and green
areas as suburbs and shopping
centers spread farther away from
the cities; 10 new nuclear power
plants; a huge increase in air
travel, and a corresponding increase in airports and related
industry; and as much as 45 per
cent of some urban areas devoted to parking.
The second scenario depicted
an integrated system of ecologically-planned c once pt s: A
monorail from Portland to Eugene with stops along the way;
an east-west pattern of development; clustering of communities and housing; coordinated
state, local and regional government; ecologically sound disposal
and recycling of waste; and a
dispersal of the economic base
across the entire state.
Myers said that Project Foresight is "Trying to get a feeling of where Oregonians want
their state to go," and that the
planning council hopes to get a
package of laws and resolutions

Dear Editor,

from the 1973 Legislature that
will expedite the decisions thc1t
must be macfe to save the Willamette Valley.
Questionnaires were passed
out both before and after the
presentation to the audience of
about 80 people in the Black
Angus restaurant. These questionnaires asked for opinions about what directions valley planning should take and how these
directions should come about.
Myers emphasized that the scenarios were by no means·a master
plan.
Myers stated, '' The message
I think is clear: The choice is
yours and mine, we· do have
the right to determine our future. We have to act now, because either we direct the destiny of the Willamette Valley
or else we allow the future of
our valley to be determined by
other people.

to no avail has the re been any
help. I don't even know my own
family, friends or aquaintances
of the past few years.
And only through some fellow
inmates have I just this week
learned of some friends and of
my attending LCC.
If there is any way possible
that you can be of help to me
and my lawyer, it would be highly appreciated.
It is a most troublesome feeling not to remember what you
have done and where you have
been. Please sir! Help me in
any way you can.

I am a former student of LCC,
who had good grades and who
became ill three different times:
from 1971 thru the spring term
of 1972. Since then things have
been almost a complete blank
for me, due to injuries and
hospital bouts; the last one was
in Canada. The only thing I seem
to know is what people have
been telling me and what has
been found in my wallet, like
my LCC student body card, and
a lot of names and phone no.' s.

I have been deported from Canada and placed in the Eugene
City Jail on a charge of forgery, which I have no memory
of. I can't even remember going
to college or working at the
U of O.

I have tried unsuccessfully to
get some help from people that
are supposed to know me, but

Child care service available
If you're in need of som~one to look after your kids while
you're · in class or working, the Child Care Referral Service can
help. At the same time the service makes it possible for an LCC
student to earn some extra money.
According to Pat O'Renick, the Child Care Referral Service
(located in the Student Awareness Office) has between 100 to 150
babysitters' names on file. He said they have people willing to
babysit in most parts of Lane County.
0 1 Renick said the service was started last spring, and has had
relative success. But this year due to what he thinks is lack of public knowledge of the service, they have had had few inquiries for
babysitters.
O1 Renick said that anyone wanting a baysitter could contact
him in person in the SAC office, Room 234, second floor of the
Center Building or they can call extc 230.

MVP honors during banquet
• By Marty Stalick-

Soccer :defensive fullback
Mike Convey was named Most
V1.luable Player for 1972 and
Dale Hammit, Randy Griffith and
Bill Cram were named tri-captains of the Cross Country team,
during the LCC Fall Term Sports
Awards Banquet, held at the Kings'
Table Restaurant in Springfield,
Nov.21. Guest speaker for the
banquet was Steve Savage, former LCC student and participant
on the 1972 United States Summer Olympics Track and Field
team.
In other awards listed on the
evening's agenda, soccer team
m1~mbers receiving plaudits for
outstanding play were Edwin Jaffarian for scoring the most goals
for the season (13), Richard Cutler being named as the Best
Defensive Player and freshman
Jim Sheng, being chosen for
Rookie of the Year honors.
Titan cross country runner
Hammit received the Most Outstanding Runner award and Cram
and Garrie Franklin were named
as the most inspirational runners

on the team.

Guest speaker, Steve Savage,
spoke to the audience about the
good factors of the expansion of
the sports program at LCC and
the definition of "competition"
and what it means to an athlete.
Competition as Savage sees it,
is split by two factors: seasonal peak and lifetime peak.
He said a person should never
stop competing in athletics because, "if you quit now, you may
be sorry for it later on. " He
continued, "I haven't reached my
lifetime peak, I'm only 24, . . .
I think I might have a good 8
to 10 years left in me.''

An odd-lift weight-lifting tour~
nament will be held in the LCC
weight room Nov. 29.
Sign-up sheets are located in
the locker area and in the weight
room. For further information
contact Jack Heisel in the Intramurals Office , Ext. 277.
J:t'or students interested in
playing varsity baseball, there
will be a meeting tomorrow at
3 p.m. , room 156, in the gym.

Last Tuesday night the Fall Sports Banquet was held at the Kings Table in Springfield. The banquet with the purpose of presenting awards to athletes, was fairly well organized
with one exception. The glaring absence of the
women's field hockey team.
Awards were duly passed out to the soccer
team by Coach George Gyorgyfalvy, and AI
Tarpenning handed out hardware to his national
champion cross country team. But nowhere in
sight was Coach Audrey Brown and her field
hockey team. Not to take anything away from
either the soccer team nor the cross country
squad, both of whom worked hard for and earned their awards, but it seems a little odd that
the field hockey team was not recognized for
their efforts. And they did produce some fine
efforts.
Although the team did not bring home any
national championship trophies it did compete
against difficult competition, as was illustrated
in their fine showing in the Canadian tournament held two weeks ago. The very least of
honors should have been paid to the outstanding
member of the team, Sue Mitchell, who earned
an honorable mention All-Star team position;
after all, AU-American runners Dale Hammitt
and Randy Griffith were recognized as su ch.

Denver, Colorado (CPS)-Colorado voters on November 7
overwhelmingly approved, by a
margin exceeding 175,000 votes,
a Constitutional amendment that
would prohibit the state from expending any funds on the '76
Winter Olympics.
_
The p a s s age of the antiO1 ympic measure came in the
face of a $150,00 media blitz
financed by Coloradans for the
1976 Olympics, a pro-Olympic
group, the active campaigning of
Republican Governor Love and
Democratic Mayor Bill McNichols and the support of almost
all the major 'business interests
in Colorado.
The end of Olympic funding by
the State was a bitter pill to
swallow for the Denver Olympic Or g an i z in g C o m m i tt e e
(DOOC) . R i c h a rd G o o d w in,
Chairman of the Board of the
DQOC, said in a press conference
held November 8, "We of the
DOOC deeply regret the rejection
of the Olympics by Colorado
voters. However the voters have

made their decision quite clear
and we will honor it."
The credibility of the DOOC,
who sold the International Olympic Committee on Denver as the
site of the '76 Winter Games,
frequently came into question
prior to the vote.
Citizens for Colorado's Future
(CCF), the anti-Olympic group
who obtained the necessary signatures to put the amendment on
the November ballot, pointed out
that there was a substantial conflict of interest for many members of the board of the DOOC,
who represented land developing,
recreation, transportation, media, and banking interests.
The DOOC refused to respond
to questions by the citizens of
Ever~reen about environmental

impact, inadequate snow, and
possible congestion. Evergreen,
a small town outside of Denver,
was proposed as a site for some
of the ski events. The DOOC
increasingly resorted to meetings that were closed to the
general public when other questions and criticisms arose.

Cost overruns and fear of
higher taxes to pay for them was
another major factor influencing
Colorado voters . The original
DOOC estimate for the Games
was $7 million. The final estimate was $35 million. CCF pointed out that the 1 72 Sapporo Games
wound up costing $1.3 billion and
the bill for the '68 Grenoble
Games was $250 million. Coloradans were reluctant to sign
a blank check for the '76 Games.

Collegiate basketball season is nearly ready
to open. Lane Community College will open it's
season Dec. I against American River Junior
College, at Lane.
Pacific-8 Conference teams open their seasons around Nov. 27. UCLA, perennial national
champions, are again favored to win the title
with Southern Cal and possibly Oregon State
and Oregon following in Pacific-8 rankings.
Oregon State Beaver Coach Ralph Miller
will open his third season Nov. 27 against the
Navy submarine base team from Hawaii. Miller will have four starters back from last
year's team. The Beavers lost All-American
guard Freddie Boyd via graduation, along with ·
four other lettermen. But Miller still will have
a fair nucleus to build on. 1972 regulars Steve
Erickson (6-11), Sam Whitehead (6-6), Neal Jurgenson (6-9), and Ron Jones (6-4) will be back
along with Rick Reed (6-9), and Jim Cave (5-11).
Heir-apparent to Boyd's old job is a highly
touted sophomore, Charles Neal, from Phoenix,
Arizona. Neal topped the freshman team in scoring
last year with a 20 point-plus average and also
collected 89 assists. If Ralph Miller can find
a replacement for the leadership of Fred Boyd
he may have an excellent team; if not, the
Beavers could finish anywhere in the Pac-8
race.

"Interchangeability," was the
one word that Coach Tarpenning
useii when he talked about the
entire team. One week a runner wouldn't place as high as
he normally would but this wouldn't hurt the team points total,
because the other runners on the
team would make up for the
lagging runner by placing high,
he explained.

Once in awhile, into e v e r y
chess player's innermost secret heart, there comes a diabolical urge to "experience" the
inner sanctum of a chess club.
Whatever the reason, be it a bad
night for TV, a sense of developing power because the guy
next door has been beaten into
jelly and it's a pity to do it to .
him again, the guy next door has
beaten you into jelly and you
need help, or, that always suspected tenden c y toward masochistic activity has reared and
kicked you in that direction THIS
t im e . Whatever the r eas on-people come to a chess club
and find a deathly silent room
pervaded by (if there is any noise
at all) the stealthly ticking of
a clock, the whisper of rising
smoke, and the silent screams
of victory! (and defeat).
The room is surveyed. No one
pays any attention. The casual
chess player casually leaves as
quickly as he can. And, if he
had read this column before going, he would have stayed for a
jolly bout of wits; because then
he woul d know The Secret: Most

chess clubs meet once a week,
and during those other six days
the devotee has little opportunity for chess playing. On the magi c day, Raquel Wel ch would be
i gnored--unless she wanted to
pl ay chessthatis.
When going to a chess cl ub for
th e first time, there are two
things to remember:
• Everyone there has declared
a very specific intention-they
want to play chess. So, anyone
there is fair game, just go up
and challenge them. If everyone
is already playing, look around,
pick out a board where the game
seems to be ending, then wait
(vulture-like), and pounce on one
of the pl ayers when the game is
fi nished.
• Al ways take a chess set with
you. Chess is a very loosely organized activity, which means litt,le leadership, no "Est ab 1is h
ment," and therefore there is
v e r y 1i tt 1e Taxation. C on sequently, most chess clubs are
"poO'r and underpriveleged." So,
there might not be enough chess
sets to go around and chances
are that you can "capture"someone to play with just by employing this gambit (the sacrifice of energy necessary for
carrying a chess set).

Proposed crafts
store unfeasible
economically
"Economic feasibility" seems
to be the only factor presently
preventing the establishment of
a student craft store.
Dr. Eldon Schafer, LCC president, said he felt the educational
value of the project would be
substantial, but he was not convinced that it would be a profitmaking venture. "The basic
question concerning the establishment of a student craft store
is one of economic feasibility,"
he said.
Dr. Schaf er said that he would
ask the Business Department to
undertake a study of the cost
element and other factors involved in such a p'!-oject.
But Roger Mc Alister, chairman of the LCC Art Department,
told the TORCH that there i s
no need for a student stor e where
students could di spl ay and sell
their cr afts. He said that a l ot
of students are now selling their
crafts at the Saturday Market,
and that a couple of stores downtown have offered to sell cr afts
made by LCC students on a consignment basis.
The idea of a student cr aft
store wa s proposed several
weeks ago by Catherine Lauris,
a member of the LCC Board
of Education .

The LCC Chess Club is presently sponsoring a tournament
to determine the five best players to represent LCC in matches
against other schools.
According to John LO"Jghlin,
Cn,~ss Club advisor, the tourney
is being run in a '' round robin''
fashion, with each of the 20
club m1~mbers playing each other
twice.
The advisor explained that
tourney play will establish each
player's ranking and will d2term ine the top five players for
possible team competition. However, Loughlin added, the tourney
is not closed to members only
anyone wishing to play may participate.
The tourney is being pl ayed in
the Study SkUls Center , f rom
11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Mondays
and Wednesdays, and from 3 to
5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The second course in the series, Sociology of Work (SOC220),
will be held Wednesday nights
from 7 to 10, said Beals, in an
effort to attract m,~mbers and
officials of labor organizations
in Lane Co'lnty.
Beals said further that Sociology of Work would be taught
by Irv Fletcher, sociologist and
instructor at the State Penitentiary in Salem, who is an associate of the Lane Co:.inty Labor
Council. Fletcher was instrum1~ntal in the adoption of the
Labor History series of courses
by the Social Sciences Department. Beals said that Fletcher
has also be en successful in obtaining funds for the LCC li br ary for the pu r chase of books
pertaining to labor history.

OSU consumers pamphlet available
The Oregon State University
Extension Service now offers a
new pamphlet, ' ' Consumer Protection,•· which describes the legal rights guaranteed to consumers by the Oregon Legislature.
The circular , (offic i ally listed
as EC 81 5) describes l aws r equiring honest advertising, and
provides the me ans by which a
dissatisfied buyer can air his/
her complaint. For example,
Oregon Law stipulates, according to the pamphlet, that it is.
"illegal to advertise goods or
supply a reasonable amount for

services with an intent not to
public demand ... This law should
prevent the '' limit one per customer' ' practice, unless such a
fact is mentioned in the advertisement.
The circular also lists the responsibiliti es of the consumers,
one of which is to "make compl aints within a r easonabl e l ength
of time.'' It also r ecommends
familiarity with the l aws .
The c i r cu 1a r is available
through the Lane County Extension Service , or by writing to the
Bulletin Mailing Service, OSU,
