Senate draws fire
from campus groups
by Jim Crouch

The ASLCC Senate came under fire from different directions
last week. A proposed club which hopes to become a Senate watchdog submitted its club constitution for ratification to the ASLCC
and the Evening Program Advisory Committee (EPAC) recommended
forming a separate evening student government.
Additionally there was also an apparent conflict within the ASLCC
Executive Cabinet.
The proposed organization, to be called the Student Rights Alliance
(SRA) Club 1 is being formed by recently appointed ASLCC Senators
Linda Moore and Charles Akers.
"The function of our club," explained Akers, "is to be a watchdog of student government."
Akers said the first priority of the club will be to implement a
write-in measure on the ballot in the student elections scheduled
for today (Tuesday) and tomorrow. Th~ measure will, according to
Akers, amend Article III, Section 4.0 of the new constitution to repeal
all forms of renumeration to the Executive Cabinet.
Ms. Moore said the club feels the renumeration of Executive
Cabinet officers might create the "possibility that the individuals attracted to these executive positions might have other motives than the
sole desire to serve the students' best interests."
Akers added, " .•• the ASL CC (Senate) has misused their power
of distribution of student money to further their own priorities, rather
than the priority of the whole student body. 'The large amount of money
set aside for conventions and workshops is one example. At this point
they are already over-extended for the year."
Ms. Moore said she has talked to several students who are dissatisfied with "the Senate's actions concerning distribution of their
monies.'' She feels that the Student Rights Alliance Club would be
an effective way of letting the Senate know what the students desire.
The SRA Club will investigate and evaluate all actions of the
.h.SLCC Senate. Another purpose, Ms. Moore said, will be to investigate
alternative types of student government and suggest these to the
student body.
'' I feel there is a definite need to change the present power stucture
we no·.v have at LCC and implement some committee type representation headed only by a chairperson to preside over meetings," Ms.
Moore said.
At Thursday's Senate meeting Senator Steve Leppanen made a
motion to censure Akers for his activities but the motion was defeated.
The SRA Club constitution was read and ASLCC President Jay
Bolton pointed out some duplication of services with other campus
organizations. It was decided that the ASLCC Executive Gabinet would
meet later this week (possibly Friday) with Akers and Ms. Moore to
iron-out these apparent conflicts of interests.
Contacted later Bolton explained the areas in which he felt the
SRA was duplicating services. He said he felt it was the TORCH's
responsibility to gather and disseminate information for LCC students and that it was the Senate's job to insure representation for all
students.
"I feel that the SRA Club is very valid and we need something
like that. I feel, at this point, all that is needed is for the ASLCC
Executive Cabinet and the people of the SRA to sit down and try to
iron-out the wording of their constitution," said Bolton.
In response to SRA's charges concerning payment of the t.:x~
ecutive Cabinet, Bolton said, "The job that a person assumes on the
executive level of the student government deserves and needs some
type of renumeration in order to encourage people to continue staying
involved.
'' T'ne whole purpose and intent of renumeration is to generate
interest in student government. I feel that objective has been realized
this year; I was attracted and involved last year without any renumeration.''
Bolton continued, "Three out of the 13 comtn-mity colleges in the
state provide some type of renumeration for their executive cabinet.
Those that don't have a high school type student government, and the
advisor tells them how and when to spend their own money."
In a related issue early last week the Evening Program Advisory
Committee was considering a recommendation by EPAC m3mber
Bob McCarty to start a separate evening student government.
McCarty said that very little of the yearly $7,875 which the evening
students pay_ in student bo<;ly fees is being spent on evening student
services by the present Student Senate.
The TORCH asked Bolton about this idea. "I know they need
money, as a matter of fact, I wanted to put $10,000 in our budget for
them. This is our first year for a budget of this size and we wanted
to see where to delete and where to strengthen.
"I would agree that there is more that should be done for EPAC,
but again I have tried to provide whatever they have asked for each
tim,~. I also feel that EPhC is a well-organized group, but as of right
now I don't see any need for a separate government." Bolton said

LCC student reports rape attempt
An attempted rape was report-

ed by an LCC student last week
which , according to Detective
Lewis Hince of the Lane County
Sheriff's Department, was the third
reported incident of assault on
women hitchhiking from the 30th
Avenue area in the last 30 days.
Of the three attempted rapes one
was successful, reported Hince.
The latest incident occured when
a young woman was picked up from
an LCC ride sign and taken to an
isolated area of Bloomberg Road.
The woman said the driver of the
green pick-up used obscene language prior to the assault, and
then threatened the coed with a
knife. The timely appearance of
an approaching car enabled the
woman to escape to a nearby
home and phone · the authorities,
she said.
The woman described her assailant as a white male with a
crewcut, around five feet, eleven
inches tall, and weighing approximJtely 175 pounds. She remarked that he made her feel as

I

though he'd "cut me as soon as
look at me."
The victim said that she noticed the truck (an early 1960
model) around campus before, and
saw it again the day after the attack.
Commenting on the case, Detective Hince said '' This particular incident was kind of • flaky.''
Hince said the Department is
working on the case, but "We're
looking at it with a jaundiced eye."
Hince continued to say when
women "plop out their thumbs"
to hitchhike, many people think

they are asking for more than
ride. He added that openning
a door to accept a ride is '' opening up the door for all kinds
of things to happen."
Dectective Bill Kennedy, Lane
County Sheriff's Department, reported that while working on the
case, he spent over three hours
watching an LCC parking lot
and observed at least 100 pickup trucks fitting the uescription
given. He says the vague nature
of the pick-up's description compounds the problems involved in
apprehending the suspect.

"Meeting of friends" behind closed doors

Side

by Jack- Hart
A guy from the new prisoners assistance group on campus (Self
Help Oriented People) came up to me the other day and handed me a
contr~ct he had received from the Financial Aids Office. He pointed to
the bottom of the page, and there, looming out of the primordial ooze
of the Joe McCarthy era, was the following statement:
' ' I d,) solemnly sw9ar (or affirm) that I bear true faith and allegiance to the United States of America against all enemies, foreign
and domestic."
It was like running into an old foe that I thought had been long
sin~e :buried ..
I was truly amazed to see this kind of chauvinistic paranoia still
running around. It made m.-~ wonder just what kind of enemies we had
lurking aro'lnd here. Immf~diately the image of thJiJsands of Bolsheviks
and anarchists, running around with little black bombs, lept into my
mind, followed closely by sea serpents and flying saucers.
I started to see enemies foreign and dom':',3tic everyw~?re .. It
made m,3 want to hide-o,Jt in th•3 b:1.'throom 1 but wh13n I got there th•~
place was full of min,1te men planning the defense of the natio~.

Making sugge_stions
A lot of people, including myself sometimes, are down on student
•
government.
Well, I was m)ptn~ aro:.rnd, the Senate offices the other day, griping
as usual,, when a very wise friend of mine looked at me and said,
"You know, you and a bunch of other people are always bitching about
the student go7ern_na:1t. Why don't you make some positive suggestions
for chan 5e so the governm:mt can get som,~thing done,"
The more I thought about it, the more I realized she was right;
so I started to think just what I w,nld lik~ to see the student government do, and what I could suggest that would let them do it--and here is
what I came up with. •
I think the function of the student government should be to supply
the students with the best possible environment for students at this
college.
Because most of our students are low-income people, the most
beneficial thing we can do is to try and supply the bread-and-butter
needs of the students. This means to make sure that the students of
this college can get their basic needs taken care of without additional
financial hardships. to themselves.
The way to do that is to use the student fee m~ney to supply direct
services like health care, dental care, legal assistance, child care,
etc. If we did that, then the function of student government would be
simply to oversee the operations of one or two or three student
service agencies.
If the student government is going to be one of a policy-making
body I would like to recommend to them for consideration, a change
in their structure. I would like to see the student government become
a board of directors to set policy for the student service agencies,
and to hire a professional director of those agencies who would be
responsible to the students and the student board to get the job done.
I also feel that the size of the board of directors could be much
smaller then the present student government, and be much more accessible to the general student body and because this body would be
primarily a wa·tchdog agency,_ I don't think it would be necessary
to pay them, therefore more funds would be released for direct
services.
I think this plan is workable and will meet the needs of the students
much better then does the present form of government.
• I know these suggestions are coming close to stepping on some
people's financial shoes, but I feel that if we all can get our own
trips out of the way, we can have a really effective student organization, that will really do something for the students.

Under t!le guise of "a meeting of friends"the
Executive Cabinet of the ASLCC Senate met in
a private meeting Friday. All students and the
press were barred from the meeting.
When we first informed ASLCC President Jay
Bolton that a TORCH reporter would attend the
meeting he said he wasn't going to allow it because
the session was only "a meeting of friends." We
pointed out that his friends happened to be Senate
officers meeting in an official capacity and that
our reporter would attend, regardless of his wishes.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
F o r the Jan. 30 issue of the
TORCH I wrote a letter to the
editor asking for an explanation
of the duties and purpose that LCC
President Eldon Schafer serves.
The question, a valid one in my
opinion, was responded to by a
personal letter to me from Mr o
Schafer. Needless to say I was
very surprised to get such personal attention from Mr. Scha·rer.
The next issue (Feb.6) contained
a rebuttal to my question by Doug
Cudahey; again I was surprised
and pleased to get a response.
My English Composition class,
apparently similarly interested,
asked me to try and find out if
Mr. Schafer would be available
to come to class and make his
own response to my question.
On February 22, after my making an appointment with Mr. Scha...,
fer earlier in the week, Mr. Schafer did just that.
As a student I would like to
say that feedback from any bu••
reaucracy or institution will only
occur if there is some interest
on the part of those involved. It
is interesting to know that an individual has some voice, and effect on this institution, however
small it may be.

like to suggest that it would be
a good idea if President Schafer
set a time, say one day a month,
where he would make himself available to students. Maybe he
could take every second Tuesday
of every month and sit in the cafeteria for a couple of hours.
I think in this way the President
could get to know the students
better and visa versa.

Dear Editor:
I st r on g l y recommend your
"yes'' vote today and tomorrow
in the formal election of the new
ASLCC Constitution. Our school
is among the finest and most
progressive of all community colleges within US boundaries.
Our proposed Constitution has
been acclaimed as among the finest
of all college and university constitutions. Thousands of manhours have been spent rewriting>
revising, and clarifying this document to insure the rights of every
Lane Community College student.
The Constitution does not stand
alone. This document and its ByLaws work hand-in -hand with the
institutional bill of rights to guarantee the rights of ~very instructor
staff member, and student at LCC.
I have thoroughly studied this
and similar documents from other
colleges, Ours contains no "loopholes,'' no "misleading passages, 11 It is clear that the thousands of man-hours spent in the
drafting and revisions of the constitution were not sp_ent in vain.

The Constitution stands for everyone at Lane. It is not for a
chosen few , It does not favor
the Administration. It doesn't favor the students. Above all, it
guarantees eve r yon e 's equal
rights.

Jetan is chess as it is played
on Mars. At least, it is chess as
Edgar Rice Burroughs described
in "The Chessmen of Mars." The
game represents the battle between
the southern black race and the
northern yellow race. Thus, to play
the game properly, the Jetan board
. (l0xlO) should be placed so that
the end with the black army is
south, and that with the yellow army
is pointed north. The squares are
colored orange and black. and there
are 12 pieces and eight pawns in

First year TV Broadcasting students at LCC are currently producing a series of weekly videotaped programs entitled "SEE,"
according to Diane Cox, publicity
director for the programs,
According to Ms. Cox, the 30
minute programs are now available on the Information Retrieval
System, Two program:, will run
for two weeks, she said, then will
be replaced by two new programso
This, said Ms, Cox, will hopefully continue through Spring
Term,
"SEE is a realistic approach to
television for first year students,''
said Ms. Cox who is also a member of the first year TV Broadcasting cl as s. '' It gives us a
chance to experiment with our
ideas.''
The topics for the programs
are based on "various subjects''
that hopefully the students will
enjoy and also find informative.
So far the students have produced three programs. One fea_tures a guitar soloist, another is
centered around Lan e's Health
Services, and the third involves
members of the Student Senate and
Chicano Student Union.

wood for themselves, and those in
need, Many families in and around
Eugene spend the winters with onh

has been to supply these people
with low cost woodo
Even though the Co-op had good
ideals, they' re as prone to failure as any other collective. Lack

Milligan.
With only one to two saws operating at a time, it's slow work

"Last vear we had over 100 families in. the Co-op, this year not

Milligan hopes to see a fundraiser appearo "We need a good

The survey first analyzed the attitudes of what people think marijuana is. Only 12 per cent defined marijuana as an unknown,

Despite the somewhat popular
drives to decriminalize and legalize marijuana, a recent survey
of Eugene area businessmen showed that a majority of them still
expressed negative attitudes to-·
wards marijuana and its users.
The survey, conducted by Robert
Radding of the U of O Drug Information Center, dealt mainly
with the ;:ipinions of local employers on hiring and retaining
employees who use or have used
marijuana.
Entitled "Marijuana anct the Eugene Business Community,'· the
report was compiled from a confidential questionnaire on marijuana and mailed out to 140 local
employers, whose labor forces
ranged from five to nearly 200 em-

three cuts at the most. We cut
one ten-foot section of tree into
five to seven lengths; •that's a
lot of cutting." A good saw will
last one season, then it has to
be hauled. A good saw will cost
over $500.' •
Millig·an's hope is to see one
major co-op of five to ten families with a few industrial-us4:'
saws to cut the wood, and family
owned pickups to haul the wood.
The main Co-op could then show
a smaller co-op I three to four
families from a local area, where
to gather their wood, which wood
is best, and which saw would best
service their needs. Each smaller co-op would use their own
pickups, solving haulingproblems.
Running a co-op this way would
distribute the cost more. evenly
"making it cheaper to run," said
Milligan.
But right now the Wood Co-op
is declining.

as a person, 87 per cent stated
that they couldn't distinguish the
''use by sight, while seven per
cent felt that they could; the remaining six per cent were un decided."
The report suggested this information indicates Eugene businessmen "probably don't stereotype marijuana users with any
particular social class."
However, ironically enough (82
per cent ) of the employers had
negative attitudes towards the drug
user and classified the marijuana
user as unreliable, indifferent,
slow, lazy, and inhibited. The other
18 per cent chose neutral or positive answers.
The study pointed out the use
of marijuana by employees of Eugene businessmen is not tolerated and that a majority of employers wouldn't hire the user. However, further investigation revealed an overwhelming number (78
per cent ) of the employers do
not even bother to ask prospective job applicants if they use,
or have used, the drug.
The report went on to p::,int out
an employer's probable course of
action, based upon suspicion of
marijuana use by an employee,
were relatively severe. Based on

Area set aside in

Nevv clinic proposed at LCC

r king lot
west pa _
for visitors' cars

T

A new visitor's parking lot, consisting of 24 spaces, an information booth, and special blockades
has been built in the west parking
lot.
The visitor's parking area takes
up the first two aisles of the west
parking lot. Mark Rocchio, chief
of Security, said that it was needed
because visitors had no place to
park after 8:30 a.m. being unfamiiiar with the campus, they were
unable to find the more distant
parking areas. Until the beginning
of this term, the parking strip
directly in front of the college
was designated for visitor's parking; but as of this term it has
been open parking on a first come,
first served basis.
One of the students manning the
parking lot, Tom Byrd, said that
the policy is to view drivers licenses and check them against a
comprehensive list of LCC stu-

dents and faculty to determine
guest cars.
William Cox, superintendent of
college facilities, estimated the
cost of the project at about $150.
He said, this covers the cost of
materials, while labor involved
was either donated or supplied

by work-study students working for
the college. The booth is manned
from 7:45 a.m. until 2 p.m, weekdays by law enforcement students.
The students also hand out maps
of the campus, answer questions,
or direct visitors to the college's
information desk.

Family planning services may well be the next addition to LCC's
growing Student Health Service. According to John Loeber, Health
Services student coordinator, a proposal for the extension of services
will be brought before the LCC Board of Education at its March meeting.
The idea for family planning services at LCC originated from
what Diana Taylor, Student Health nurse, terms a "critically limited''
family planning program in Lane County. However, Loeber described
the need as one which is "difficult to document, at best."
Loeber emphasized that though county facilities, private doctors
and community groups (such as White Bird Sociomedical Clinic and
the Eugene Women's Clinic ) can account for the number of patients
treated, they cannot account for the num'Jer turned away due to lack
of space, staff, and supplies.
Through a family planning clinic at LCC, the Health Services
staff would hope to lessen the burden on community sources. "We
would at least be able to offer services to the 2,061 women of childbearing age (between 16 and 50) attending LCC," Loeber said.
The proposed clinic would closely resemble the Lane County Family Planning Clinic in structure and practice. Ms. Taylor envisions
a thorough LCC clinic offering gynaecological examinations, treatment or referral of gyneacological problems, education/ rap sessions
(for both men and women), pregnancy and abortion counseling, and
follow-up medical services.
"due to lack of space, would probably be held at
The clinic,
night," said Ms. Taylor. She said she' would hope to see from 15 to 20
women in a four-hour clinic period.
Howe'!er, concrete planning hinges on two hurdles, confirmation
of a grant from the Planned Parenthood Federation of Am1~rica, and
approval of the clinic proposal by the Board of Education,
Ms. Taylor explained that the grant would enable her to attend a three month intensive training program at the University of
New Jersey Medical School. The program begins in May and would
qualify her as a Family Planning Specialist.
As a specialist Ms, Taylor would assume the duties of e1'aminations,
counseling and treatment normally reserved for a practicing physician.
Such training is part of a current trend in medicine to extend the
responsibilities and duties of nurses, she said.
Ms. Taylor indentifies the extended role of nurses in medicine
as one of economic necessity. Sh,=! explained that a family planning
clinic at LCC would be impossible if a gyneacologist had to be paid
to perform examinations and give treatment.
Meanwhile, the Health Services staff has been busy seeking documentation to prove a need exists in Lane County. Support _and information are being sought from the community, administrative, federal,
and student levels.
Through the clinic proposal, Loeber hopes to show the Board that
fam~.ly planning would be not only a valid, but a vital service to this
community.

In the area of social opinion,
most respondents identified medical sources as being most eredible in assessing the effects of
marijuana. The report stated that
while the recent federal government report on marijuana has
probably been the most widely publicized, it is interesting to note,
that i.t receives minimal support
from the Eugene business community.
In conclusion the report stressed the importance of exposing
people to all sides of "information and non-information in order
to prevent further formation on
harmful blind faith opinions."

Bench Slivers

Cagers win two
at home and head

from Lex Sahonchik

As is the annual habit around the start of spring, LCC will see
its basketball team once again among the top four in the Oregon Community C 6I leg e Athletic Association (OCCAA) and hence enjoy another
berth in the OCCAA championship tournament in Coos Bay.
It hasn't been easy for LCC this year. Inconsistency has plagued
the Titans all season long. It has just been in the last half of season
play that Lane has begun to put it all together and show flashes of the
kind of team they are.
The early non-conference season was not exactly a rousing success
for Coach Irv Roth's team: they posted a pre-league season record of
two wins and six losses. They looked ragged and disorganized on the
court-"We only had one letterman return, Alex Iwaniw, and it takes
time for a team of players from different backgrounds and different
coaches stressing different things to play as a team,'' summed up
Coach Roth.
Miraculously, Lane came off a shellacking from Linn-Benton Community College to open the season at home against Blue Mountain from
Pendleton. Lane won the game by nine points and Blue Mountain has
only lost one other game.
There have been some key players who have done the job for the
Titans this year, "Of course, Greg Green has improved 100 per cent
out there," commented Roth on the play of his starting guard from
Thurston High School. Outstanding freshmen Tony Williams and Rod
Cross have been cited as well for a great share of the team improvement over the season, but Coach Roth says that they could improve
their play even more with a greater concentration on defense.
Lane will go into the tournament at Coos Bay this year with three
other OCCAA teams-Blue Mountain, Southwestern Oregon, and LinnBenton. Coach Roth is confident that the Titans can beat any one of
those teams. They have beaten Blue Mountain,lost to SWOCC on a lastsecond shot, and have been repeatedly edged-:-out by Linn-Benton and
the Roadrunner's 6' 10" center, Craig Martin. "He's not only tall,
but he's a goodballplayer" said Roth of Martin.
The tournament site at Coos Bay does not draw much in the way of
a negative response from Roth: "They have good crowds, and they
support it; it's a good neutral court." That "neutral court" is also the
city where many of SWOCC's players come from, and the Coos Bay
crowd is as solidly behind the Lakers this year as they were last
year when Southwestern won the conference championship. At that
time the crowd seemed to be rooting for SWOCC.
And there's nothing like a partisan crowd on a neutral court; anybody heading down to the coast this week?

Regionals stop 'Nrestlers

The season is over for LCC's
wrestling team.
The Titans failed to qualify a
wrestler for the nationals, scoring only three points and finishing
in ninth place in the Region 18
Cham,ionships held Friday and
Saturday in Oregon City.
Curt Crone and Dave Parks accounted for all of Lane's points,
Crone scoring two in the 134 pound
class and Parks picking up one
more point in the 150 pound weight
division.
Mental lapses, inexperience, and
strong competition contributed to
Lane's )ow finish, said Coach Bob
Creed. The first two are reasonably unavoidable; the third was f
result of the schedule. This year's

team only had one tournament in
which to gain experience.
Next year Creed hopes to schedule at least two tournaments,
finances permitting.
Hopefully many members of this
year's team, most of whom were
freshmen, will return next year.

intends to spend part of the next
few weeks talking ,to high school
wrestlers from this area.
Lack of financial assistance hinders recruiting, however, causing
many performers who might have
gone to Lane to go elsewhere because other schools are able to
offer aid, said Creed.

for league playoffs
by Lex Sahonchik
The LCC basketball team won
two games over the weekend to
assure itself of an Oregon Community College Athletic Assoc iation (OCCAA) playoff berth.
Lane played both Clatsop Community Co 11 e g e and Clackamas
Com::nunity College, beating Clatsop 81 to 66, and downing Clackamas 81 to 59.
LCC beat Clatsop for the second time this year behind Alex
Iwaniw's 21 points and a sticky
defense that didn't allow Clatsop
to challenge. The Titans moved
out in front of Clatsop early and
did't turn back as they took a halftime lead of 41 to 27. The individual matchups were simply too
much for CCC in the first half
as well as in the second half Racing in the LCC parking lot? Exactly. Sunday over 150 cars of all

The Furtrappers lost the previous meeting between the two
teams, which sent the Stuffers into
the playoffs with an undefeated record. This time around, however,
the Furtrappers took advantage of
added bench strength and balanced
scoring to handle the Stuffers.
