Steve Leppanen, Senator-atLargeand chairman of the " Spring Arts '72 '' event requested the Senate to set aside $2,000 to be used as needed in putting on the affair. It was pointed out by Second Vice President Kenny Walker that this amount would exhaust the monies budgeted for the rest of the term which were to be used for all other student sponsored events. However , the motion was passed. Jay Bolton announced his selection of the four delegates that would r epresent LCC at the OCCSA convention, held Thursday through Sunday, at the Spanish Head resort on the coast. Another decision was made after discussion of the delegate make-up: Although only five delegates from LCC were to have voting rights, a motion was passed to extend the number of delegates to eighL Russel Oom3 Barry Gower, Ellie Lemke and Kenny Walker (who nominated himself) _were added to the list of del egates, which already included ASLCC President .Jay Bolton, Publicity Director Barry Hood, OCCSA Coordinator Doug Cudahey and ASLCC Secretary Della Neimoyer.

Paraprofe ssional's rights questione d by Kath ie Durb in A controversy involving the rights of paraprofessionals at LCC surfaced recently when an Instructor's Aide appealed to keep her job after an attempt was made to dismiss her. The controversy involves whether Instructor's Aide positions should be looked on primarily as learning experiences, subject to evaluation by the department, or whether they should be viewed primarily as jobs, having the same protections as other staff positions. Presently there is no written policy covering employment procedures for paraprofessionals, but when Math Instructor's Aide, Anne Christensen, made a successful appeal to keep her job, recently, she may have been the first to force a c.,hange in this situation, according to Howard Zink, chairman of the Mathematics Department. Shortly before the end of Winter Term, Ms. Christensen was informed by Zink that she would not be rehired for Spring Term to work with Instructor Glenn Cook's Occupational Math students. According to Ms. Christensen, this was the first notice she had received of her impending dismissal. She said she had not been informed that her job effectiveness as an aide was in question. Ms. Christensen said she objected to the short notice she was given, since the next week was finals week for her at the U of 0, and since she had no opportunity to seek another job before Spring Term. Zink told the TORCH he does not see the matter as an employeremployee dispute. He said Ms. Christensen is '' one of the most gifted and able math students" LCC has ever had, but it became apparent to him, to Cook, and to Ms. Christensen that she was not suited to tutor Occupational Math students. During the 1971-72 academic year, Cook said, it became apparent that her performance as an Aide was less than it should be. • ._ She said her immedi ate reaction to the dismissal was that her plans by Tom Perry BRING is sponsoring a Cycle-A-Thon in celebration of Earth Day, Saturday to r aise funds for their recycling activities. Begin Recycling in Natural Groups (BRING) is a non-profit Lane County organization devoted to recycling and to activities which are environmentally beneficial. Saturday, participants in the Cycle-A-Thon will bicyc le a marked route from Alton Baker Park to Harrisburg and back again to raise monf>y for BRING. Eugene Mayor Les Anderson and County Commissioner Nancy Hayward will lead the procession fr om the par k at 9 a.m. Each cyclist will enlist the aid of a sponsor, who will pay the ridP.r for ea ch mile pedaled. According to Peter Thurston of BRING , the onl y qualification for a sponsor is the desire to donate a certain amount for each mile, ~he amount can vary from one penny to a dollar or mor e, Thurston said. He hoped, though, for an aver age of 10~ per mile per cyclisL The bicycle rout e is 42 mil es long, according· to Thur ston, and will have check points and be marked with gr een tags. National Guar d and BRING trucks will foll ow the rout e to pick up weary cyc lists and help out with bicycle break-downs. Cyclists cto not have to travel the entire 42 miles. but should keep track of their mileage. Anyone wishing to participate should l>e at Alton Baker Park at 9 a.m. Saturday and bring a lunch. No pre-registration is necessary. Information sheets will be available at all local bicycle shops. Tile bicyclists will have the responsibility of collecting the money from the sponsors and leaving it with BRING. (The address is P.O. Box 885, Eugene, 97401.) The Cycle-A-Thon is similar to other fund raising events such as the Walk-for-Development, in which the participants collect money for each mile covered and donate the total to a cause. A BRING spokesman voiced hopes of making the Cycle-A-Thon an annual event. BRING has several other projects scheduled in connection with Earth Day. including the normal schedule for the BRINGmobile and a party Sunday. The events include: e National Guard trucks will collect recyclable goods at North Eugene High and Edgewood El ementary School from 10 to noon· and at Oakri dge and Springfield High from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and at Monroe and Jefferson Junior High Schools from 2 to 4 p.m. Also, from noon to 3 p.m. the BRINGmobile will receive recyclable goods at the Day Island land fill . e From 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday the trucks will be at 13th St. on the U of 0 campus and Churchill High School. • e The party, from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, will conclude Earth Day (Continued on page 8) to marr y LCC Social Science Instructor Rod Metzger had led Zink t; infer that she would not be re turning next fall, and was being fi r ed so her repl acement could be t rained during Spring Term , when enrollment is cons i derabl y lighter in the Mathematics Department. Instr uctor's Ai des ar e not employed during Summer Sessi on. At thi s point Ms . Chr istensen contacted Steve John, Staff Associa tion pr es ident, who appealed the decision on her di smissal to Associate Dean of Inst r ucti on Jim Piercey. Piercey; after hearing both sides in the matter, decided Ms. Christensen should be retained because there were "obvious discrepancies in the procedures used to terminate her services," according to the memo he sent Zink. Cook and Zink both expl ained that the Math Instructor's Aide program was set up to provide a paid work experience for students who plan careers in teaching math. They said that su ch students first enroll in math courses at LCC, then do voluntary tutoring, and are eventually " rotated" into positions as paid Instructor ' s Aides. Ms. Christensen completed calculus at LCC, and at the urging of Math Instructor Vern Schwin, became a voluntary tutor. She became a paid Instructor' s Aide during Fall Term 1971. Cook explained that if a student wished to pursue the program, he/ she could progress to a position as math assistant while attending the U of 0, and finally became an instructor upon graduation. According to Zink, there are only a limited number of Instructor Aide positions available and there is a waiting list. Ms. Christensen had been an aide for five terms i much longer than most aides, The job was never intended to be a permanent one, Zink said, but only an opportunity to give the student " the feel of teaching math. " Cook explai.ned that he discussed with Ms. Christensen her lack of effectiveness with Cook ' s Occupational Math students. But when he suggested at the end of Winter Term, that she devote her time exclusively to working with more advanced students in the Math Lab (where she was then working about five hours out of 20 a week), she responded by refusing to be dismissed as Cook's Aide. Even though still an Aide she said she has abandoned her plans for a math teaching career and now plans to become a medical technologist. Cook said she was notified that she would not be hired for the 1972-73 year, but she said she wanted t,o have "one more try," and he agreed. • Cook said he fears Ms. Christensen' s action, in viewing the situation as an employer-employee matter, may succeed in bringing the Math Department's paraprofessional program to an end, and with it the whole (Continued on page 8 ) ....

Et .~ ..1..,,,.,. are pouring into President Nixon over singer Frank Sinatra's invitation to perform at the White House. The protests are coming largely from Middle America, which the President considers Nixon country. Apparently, a lot of conservative Republicans don't belleve Sinatra is the sort who ought to be hobnobbing with the President. They renwmber him as the leader of the Hollywood Rat Pack, who were notorious for their night clubbing, gambling and womanizing. This isn't the life style of Middle /\merica. They are also disturbed over reports of Sinatra's friendship with Mafia mobsters ..John Kenn·edy, for l·xample, quietly disassoc i at c d himself from Sinatra after reading a .Just ice De1wrt ment dossier on the singer's racketeer frit~nds. The protests put President Nixon on the spot. He owes Sinatra a political debt for persuading Sammy Davis, .Jr., to campaign for him last year. This helped to dispel the talk that Nixon was against the Blacks. In grat ilud<\ the President scheduled a Sinatra gala al the White House . He has had some second thoughts, however. since he start~d hearing from Middle America. Our White House sources say he won't cancel the Sinai ra special but will try to play it clown.

Well, I'll be going ... St. Peter: A moment, please. Now, who were the first people you hated? Middlerode (frowning): The Germans, I guess. I was just a boy in World War I and they taught me to hate the dirty, baby-killing Huns. But I loved our gallant French, Italian and Russian allies. St. Peter: And you've always hated the Germans? Middlerode: Oh, no. I felt sorry for them in the Twenties. And then after World War II, when I learned to hate the fiendish Boche again, I came to love and admire the good, industrious German people who stood between us and the power-mad Russians who ... St. Peter: I thought you loved the Russians . o . Middlerode: Not during the Twenties or after 1946. That's when thos9 dirty Commie rats were planning to invade America and destroy my way of life. Of -course, during World War II, I couldn't help but love our staunch Russian allies who were helping us lick the dirty Boche, the devious Italians and the bloodthirsty Japs. St Peter: The Japanese? Did you hate them long? Middlerode: Only from 1941 to 1946 when they were fiends in human form committing unspeakable atrocities on our beloved Chinese brothers. But after that I came to love them for their gentleness, politeness, inventiveness and dedication to the work ethic. St. Peter: The Chinese? Middlerode: No, not then. That's when I learned to hate the Chinese for being mindless, ant-like slaves bent on conquering the world in human wave attacks as they tried to do to the Koreans, whom I loved. I mean the South Koreans whom I loved and not the North Koreans whom I hated. I generally hated Northerners as in Vietnam .• o St. Peter: Not so fast. I'm trying to take notes.

(Copyright Chronicle Pub, Co. 1973) April 10, 1973, TORCH, 'Page 3 ' Perry urge$ staff support of HB 2263 . by Bob Nagler State Representative Larry Perry (D-Eugene) urged the LCC staff and faculty Thursday to support proposed legislation which would give all public employees in the state the right to collective bar- county or municipal employees in Oregon. Of the 30 persons attending the meeting, all of those commenting on the bill expressed strong approval. LCC Language Arts instructor Mike Rose, an AFT organizer, said the bill is ''fairly important o , • All the boards (of education) now have absolute power," he commented. '' If this bill passes, they'd have to meet, talk, and negotiate with staff and faculty representatives.·· Perry is chairman of the Subcom 'llittee on Collective Bargaining which wrote the bill. He predicted there would be vocal opposition to the bill when it is brought before the larger Committee on Labor and Industrial Relations. ''I'd say there is about a 50-50 chance of the bill getting out of committee in its present form,,., Perrv noted. Two of the more controversial points in the bill, he said, are the provisions for strikes, and a requirement that collective bargaining for all public employees in the state be mandatory. Perry urged commumty college employees to organfze more effective political organizations, so that ·' your voice w i 11 be heard in Salem.'' Where employees have an interest in specific bills before the state legislature, he suggested more '•face-to-face contact with legislators," and letter-writing campaigns.

The name of that organization is Self Help Orientated People (SHOP). Their function is to help convicts make this adjustment to school and social life as sm }oth as possible. Gary came up with the idea of this type of organization out of a personal need. He was released from prison under the Newgate program in the Fall of 1971. But, he found the transition difficult, and consequently escaped to Canada. He was apprehended and returned to prison. Two years were added to the eight years he had been serving for armed robbery. He tells the rest of the story... I came back to Eugene and they tried me for the escape. That is when I started thinking we needed something more than what we had, (Newgate, Work Release, School Release), because what we had didn't get it.

Chris Sturm, a University sociology major and the current chairman of the Lane County chapter of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), helped organize the class, which will study the p h e n o m e non known as the "Post-Vie.tnam Syndrome." Sturm said the syndrome is complex, having broken aspects, some or all of which may be relative to the individual veteran. He said nine aspects have been isolated by Dr. C. F. Shatan of the Psychothearpy Training Program at New York University. Post Vietnam Syndrome, Dr. Shatan has stated, involves guilt feelings, selfpunishment, and feel' ings of being a scapegoat. It also involves identification with the a- gressor I with no outlet for bitterness and hatred. Sometimes the syndrome involves a dead-place or "psychic numbing." It may involve alienation, doubts about one's ability to Jove and trust other human beings again. And the syndrome, Sturm added~ is really a distorted mourning arising out of active discouragement of open grief by the military, in a climate of death. An . additional problem Sturm added, is the need tc account for the apparent absence of a similar syndrome in World War II veterans. The class has room for 10 more students, said Sturm. LCC students may enroll, as they would in any University class. It meets every Monday night from 7 to IO p.m. in room 636 of Prince Lucien Campbell Hall. . Sociology Professor Ted Goertzel will assist the student-run seminar. The course costs $130 a month for a t struction and practice.

I ,suggested that some sort of peer counseling might be of use. She in turn went to .Dr. Ken Hills here at Lane and we started a class ca1led Orientation to College. It's to combat the tremendous convict recidivism rate and make the transition to school a little easier. For instance, a guy that had spent seven years w2.s released and spent the first night in the release center . The next .day, when he picked up his grant money he split. They picked him up in Portland three weeks later for armed robbery. This wouldn't have happened if there had been a SHOP group in existance, because we take convicts, get them through registration, get their books and are just there. No one knows how frightened a person can get after he has spent seven years behind bars away from society. From the success of the class it became obvious that a peer board and an office could be of tremendous value. A place that the ex-con could come to and say 'Look, I have these problems (housing, personal problems, loans, school, etc.)' The people manning the office would be on a peer level and understand the problem. I feel that if you can get these ex-cons helping their brother it has to work. We helped the men and women who came out of prison this last term. We got them through registration procedure. we helped them buy clothes, we took them around and socialized a little bit. ln short we showed them some one cares. I feel this last group will see the benefits of the program and next term they will be involved with the next group that gets out of prison and needs help in adjusting to the new life outside. One way this type of peer group can be effective is in teaching the others to play the 'game of society' more successfully. You have to show the ex-con how to make the right contacts. ''Hey, man, c~me see ithing School part ,g trade tradition !t me if you have a problem. I'm not playing God, but I have the contacts and know someone that will help. I'll find someone that can help no matter what the problem.' If it's a job the person needed and SHOP finds it, he is still not obligated to keep it. He doesn't have to take any unneccessary crap or feel like he can't quit because he will let us down. If one job doesn't work-out, we can get him another one. That is what is beautiful about the program: An ex-con can still maintain an identity as a whole person, not an obligating ex-con that is at socit>tis mer·cy. . _...... .;.-., .,. ,, ~- \: ·~ - ,.,i~,:~.

The doubts raised in my mind are by no means unique, however, FORUM served? ~ ,. - (Editor's note: TheForum serves as an opportunity for me~bers of the LCC community or those involved in th~ community to express their opinions. The following Forum commentary was submitted by LCC student Mark J. Skinner.) to avoid the trap of generalizations; I shall speak for myself as a concerned individual. Those doubts have compounded with the apparent inability of the Student Senate to accomplish any meaningful business. To look at the LCC student body, I see a spectrum "Wider than can be found on any four-year institution. One thing, however, ties all students together: not one of them lives on the campus. Consequently, the money, time, and effort put into a student government can benefit them about as well as a high-school student council. To the student who attends one to four classes a day, then departs to earn a living, or to the housewife returning to her home and children, or to the student taking courses in preparation to attend a four-year college, the need for a student government is minimal, at best. How, then, can the Student Senate here justify its existence to these, the students they are pledged to serve? What if they, like myself, find no desire to be ;,- ·1,., Is Senate necessary? \ t Two recent TORCH articles have set me upon this problem, The first concerned the Student Senate meeting of March 8, wherein a three and one-half hour meeting was to be later declared null and void due to lack of a quorum. To quote the ASL CC Constitution, "a quorum shall consist of 50 per cent plus one of the total Senate membership·' (Article XIII). In other words, the Student Senate was operating with less than half of its members present at a regular meeting. That apparent lack of interest was echoed in the seconrt article 1 relating the impending resignation of First Vice-Pi:esident Chuck Packnett 1 • due to his lack of interest and attention to his position. This move would leave the Executive Cabinet with only one of the five persons originally deemed responsible enough for the duty of representing me as a student. A brief glance at the ASLCC budget reveals the following outlays: salaries and tuitions for officers and senators; $12,340 expenditures for ronventions and conferences; $8,500 legal services and miscellaneous projects; $10,715 expenditures for office supplies and equipment; $6,650 total k~LCC budget; $106,300. will not arouse the ire of roaf'hes and atheletes by calling for an end to athletics ; in fact,.

Their names appear in the current edition of '' Outstanding College Athletes of America." The nine athletes were Suzan Mitchell in field hockey, basketball, track, and tennis; Beth Boehmer and Lorraine Hein1 for field hockey track, and basketball; Dale Hammitt and Bill Cram, for cross countr; an~ !rack; Michael Convey, soccer; Steve Maryanski, track; Randy Gnfflth, cross country; and Ed Jaffarian, soccer. The accomplishments of those nine athletes, together with a biographical sketch, will be included in the 1973 edition of "Outstanding College Athletes of America." The athletes picked for the list met criteria in the areas of leadership, service to the community, scholarship and athletic achievement. Because they are being honored as athletes, it makes sense that athletic achievement should be stressed. After checking the playing records of the nine honored athletes there is no doubt that credit is being given where credit is due.

Last year she finished fifth in the Northwest College Wom?n 1 s Sports Association Track and Field Meet in Washington, despite an injured leg, Lorraine Hein has been a basketball standout, as well as a 41 foot shot~putter for the Titan women's track and field squad. At the conclusion of last year~s season Lorraine won a trip to the NCWSA Track and Field Championships in Washington where she won the Northwest shot put crown with a throw of 39 feet 10 inches. Mike Convey excelled on the 1972 Titan soccer team as a defensive fullback. After giving superb efforts all season, he was nam?d by Coach George Gyorgyfalvy as the Most Valuable Player on that team. Edwin Jaffarian, a defensiveman and forward on the 1972 LCC soccer team, scored 13 goals to win the Most Goals Award.

Herbert Moskowitz, of UCLA's Institute of Transportation and Traffic Engineering told a group of automotive engineers in "Motor City'' that pot and alcohol have different effects on a drivers ability to handle his or her car. Speaking before the Society of .Automotive Engineers (SAE), Moskowitz said marijuana unlike alcohol does not affect a driver's ability to process data received from observing road conditions, the environm,~nt ani the fe el of the car. Pot may cause "brief dropouts of attention," he warned. But the evil weed does not result in an " information overload' ' Senate . ..

The additional allocation is to be used in case a runoff election is required (At least eight people have requested petitions seeking the office of ASLCC President, and election rules call for a clear-cut majority). With the passage of this budget extension a total of $500 is to be available for the election. A motion was also passed to pay an additional $350 for the expenses of the four delegates who attended the Am~rican Association of Community and Junior Colleges held in Aneheim, Calif. last term. The total cost of the convention to the Senate was $1,150. Jay Bolton announced that after a long talk with First Vice President Chuck Packnett concerning the performance of his duties and that previous problems had been resolved. Packnett was reported to have indicated that he will fulfill the obligation of his office as his number one priority, said Bolton. '' I would hate to go through the problems of appointing a new First Vice President this late in the year," concluded Bolton. Packnett was absent from the meeting.

Moskowitz cautioned his conclusions are "tentative in view of the lack uf knowledge about the nature of marijuana action and due to the difficulty of determining if marijuana is present in above average frequency among those people involved in traffic accidents.'' He noted that the "victims" in a two car collision who an: d~clared to not be at fault for the accident often have an above average blood alcohol level.

Last December a; PIRG pub~ lished a report showing that over 200 types of banned and dangerous toys were being sold in Oregon. The report criticized federal Food and Drug Administration toy safety efforts and called on the .n.dministrator of the Health Division, Dr. Edward Press, to regulate the sale of hazardous toys. The toy safety rules now proposed by the State Division are the first since the Health Division was given authority to regulate dangerous toys in 1971 with the passage of the Hazardous Substance Act. The proposed rules cover the sale of cribs, electrical toys, toy darts and arrows> toys with small parts, and toys with sharp edges or points. CBPIRG attorney Neil Robblee recommended several specific changes in the proposed rules which he claimnd were needed to make them effective.
