Russel Ooms, senator from the Industrial Technology Departmentj submitted a challenge of the elections to the Senate citing six specific violations of election I}rocedures that alledgedly took place during the election. These incidents range from persons voting more than once to the voting tables having campaign materials on or around them. (See story this page.) Jav Jones. ASLCC faculty advis-: er> pointed out to the body during the discussion that followed that they (the Senate) were going to have to accept some of the blame for the current dilemma. Jones reminded the Senate that no guidelines have been established either to deal with election law violations or to determine a winner in a close election, How·c:ver, a motion was entertained and passed to accept the Board of Tellers· count of the election results as accurate. More discussion followed concerning the alledged election violations. Jay Bolton, ASLCC president. finally limited the discussion and directed the Board of Tellers (consisting of Charles Akers, Linda Moore. and Chuck Packnett) to investigate all charges of election violations. Bolton also directed them to submit a report to the Senate by Tuesday (May 8) at 3 p. m, to state their findings and include their recommendations. Bolton said the Senate can decide to validate or not validate the Spring elections at this time. In other business, the Senate accepted a list of delegates to attend the upcoming Oregon Community College Association comention to be held on May 11 and 12 at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon. OCCA is made up of members of community college administration, faculty and students.

The two-day celebration included Mariachis from Mexico, speeches, a dance and the crowning of the Cinco de Mayo queen. A pinata, a raffle, a free Mexican dinner, and both Aztec and traditional Mexican dances also added to the festivities. Cinco de Mayo (the Fifth of May) is the Mexican day of independence, and Chicanos and Mexicans alike (and "Anglos" too) enjoy celebrating it. See page 9. (Photo by Robin Burns) A very close election last week established 35 year-old David Red Fox as 1973-74 ASLCC Student Body President. He said he will prepare for the position unless the election is contested and restaged or verified as stands. (see story this page). Although he "didn't expect to win, but only wanted to split the votes 1 '' Red Fox said he is ready to '' move ahead with the foundation laid by the present student government." He lists several alterations in policies , and also considers the possibility of a general student body vote to abolish the current form of government. Red Fox will first concern himself with reestablishing credibility on all levels of student government. He feels that as an individuala "public figure"--his credibility was already high at LCC and in the Eugene community before his election as ASLCC President. That credibility will not be affected by the alledgedly questionable actions of some persons during the ASL CC elections, Red Fox said. "As a public figure, I am above those acts. The people who committed these acts should be penalized, not me." Red Fox added that he does not support the idea of holding a new student body election. Among the major alternations he hopes to ~chieve, Red Fox listed those involving the budget,, expanded medical services, a revision of governmental structures, and altered election procedure. • a-5LCC budget spending has to be curbed, the President emphasized. He has begun work on the 1973-74 budget already and plans a reduction of spending in the amount of $42,610. The budget will be presented in an itemized . form next Thursday before the Student Senate, Red Fox said. Generally speaking, he indicated the greatest reductions will be in the areas of student activities (eliminating all funds except those for club promotions), office sup- A recommendation to validate the ASLCC '73 elections was agreed upon by the Election Commission in a special meeting yesterday (Monday) afternoon. This recommPnrlation will br presented to the ASLCC Senate at a special meeting, today at 3 p.m. The Election Commission (Chuck Packnett, Charles Akers, and Linda Moore) met with Russel Ooms, freshman senator, Industrial Technology, and Jay Jones, Senate advisor, to discuss the allegations contained in an election challenge. Ooms registered the only official election challenge last Wednesday with ASLCC Treasurer Robert Vinyard. Ooms listed six alledged election infractions in his challenge in that: eAt least six people voted more than once; eThe IBM printout left out the names of 1200 students; •one voting table was without an IBM printout; •At one table names were not being checked-off the IBM printout as students voted: •campaign materials, posters and paid political advertisements were within 50 feet of the election tables; •votes which were received by the roving ballot boxes may not have been counted, and votes that those people who carried the boxes had solicited votes, and had not required proper identification from those voting. Packnett stated that he had never seen the election challenge, that it had mistakenly been given to Vinyard and therefore, he questioned whether a valid challenge hacl been made, ••.. , you don't send things through the mail by taking them to the drugstore,'' quipped Jones. He added that he had seen the formal protest and felt it warranted discussion at this time. Ooms stated that he was under the impression that Vinyard was a member of the Board of Tellers and that an election challenge could be registered with Vinyard. • In discussing the six election law violations, Jones labeled voting more than once a ·' malicious attempt . , . to prove that the election can be tampered with." "The system encourages this activity,·· and therefore Ooms charged that the elections were dishonest Jones and Packnett expressed disagreement. They laid the blam,:! for dishonesty on the individuals and not the election system. Packnett added that a candidate who felt he was losing the election could vote more than once and then take steps to have the election invalidated, Printouts were not used to establish that a student had voted, they were used to aid in establishing the fact that a student was entitled to vote, according to Packnett. The ommission of 1,200 names from a printout would not be a serious problem and should not result in invalidating the election in his opinion. The voting table without an IBM printout was given a printout from a r0ll i11g ::;tation which was shut down earlier in the election,,, Packnett reported. Jones said he watched the votmg station in the cafeteria and that campaign materials were left there by accident and not with the intent to sway voters. After much discussion of the election proceedures, Jones expressed the consensus of the group, '' The process was adequate though it lent itself to this kind. of activity ( voting more than once). The allegations were beyond the control of the people working with the elections." "I never ran into this before," Packnett said, also stating that ( Continued on back page) plies, the general fundj and salaries and tuition grants for Senate members-Red Fox said he will immediately abolish his salary of $200 per month for 13 months, though he will still accept his tuition grant. Red Fox campaigned for budget cutbacks in some areas that he has since realized cannot be cut without the sanction of the student or Senate support. Athletics, medical servi~es and the salary of the ASLCC Secretary are "established funds," he said, and he has anticipated continuance of their funding for next year. • Expansion of medical services with the approval of the student body is definitely a budget priority, he said. Red Fox would like to see the Board of Education absorb any increases in funding for medical services (Student Health Service, Dental Service, prescriptions). If the Board votes not to allocate more money to medical services, Red Fox said he "will support increased Senate fund- ing , .. if necessary." He willnot support_.r10wever, the addition of a Student Health Fee to the already-existing five dollar Student Body Fee to cover medical service expenditures. Nor does he support establishing the Student Health Service as an autonomous body. "The Health Services Coordinator should not be paid a salary," Red Fox said, '' and he (she) should not be (an exofficio) member of the Senate." He feels it would be more appropriate for the coordinator to be '' chairman of a Health Com mittee, which answers to the Student Senate." • other concerns of the new President are the development of guidelines for the Emergency Loan Program (which the Senate, in part now funds) and placement of student representatives on the LCC Board of Education, the Oregon State Board of Education, and the Oregon Scholarship Commission. Red Fox said he will also (Continued on back page).,.

'' YOU Bti-rE.R kEE.P At-J EYE ON-r1119 GROUP!'' EattMtat~e.t Last week's student elections have, to coin a well worn phrase, opened up a large can of wormso A formal charge contesting the election was levied by Industrial Technology Department Senator Russel Ooms. Toe charge cited six alledged election procedure violations. Toe most serious charge listed by Ooms was that six students claimed to have voted more than once. This points out the absurdity of the whole situation because the ASLCC documents , that deal with election procedures 1do not list any regulations concerning the number of times a person is limited to vote. In fact, these documents are not even legal, because the ASLCC has yet to ratify them. Toe Senate shouldn't be surprised by this dilemma. They have faced it before and failed to act. Last fall the elections were challenged by a senator-at-large who claimed to have voted more than once. At that time the Senate refused to invalidate those elections. What is sad about this situation is that most of the academic year has passed and the Senate has not set any legal election procedures to deal with that specific situation. In fact, not one guideline has been ~stablished to legally deal with any election procedure violation. In essence , the ASLCC Senate has given the student body license to do as they please concerning the election procedure. In the last week there has been a great deal of self-righteous screaming from Senate members concerning the validity of the elections.

What follows is my own opinion regarding those (Continued on page 5) The Innocent Bystander .}-- , WASHINGTON - Late at night, President Nixon occasionally has a peculiar experience. He once told a friend: "I have a feeling that I have something to tell the President. Then I suddenly shake myself awake and realize I am the President." Lately, the President has been trying to shake himself awake from a nightmare. He has to pinch himself to make sure the Watergate fiasco isn't all a bad dream. Typically, he retreated into his turtle shell to find the solution. As he told a friend, "You can't confide in anyone about your personal feelings." After agonizing with himself for a weekend, he finally made the painful decision to oust his two most trusted advisers, H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman. This was one of the most painful things he has ever had to do. For Haldeman and Ehrlichman thought they were carrying out the President's wishes. Nixon grew up in the Murray Chotiner school of politics. He has referred to early campaigns as rock 'em, sock 'em campaigns. He believes that in politics, as in war, the best strategy is an offense. And he relishes political intrigue. On His Orders He, therefore, ordered the overall intelligence operation against the Democrats. Certainly, he never intended that his subordinates should violate the law. But he didn't mind getting in his licks against the liberals who have always fought him. Nixon knows nothing about nothing by Arthur Hoppe Now · that everybody else has explained why they knew nothing about the Watergate affair, it's high time somebody explained why Mr. Nixon knew nothing about the Watergate affair. l' d be glad to. The first time Mr. Nixon heard the word was when his friend, John Mitchell, called him at 3 a.mo one night last June. • "I just thought you'd like to know, sir,' ' said Mr. Mitchell, ' 'that some Cuban patriots were caught breaking into the wrong apartment at Watergate which happened to be the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and I know absolutely nothing about it because I never talked to anybody beforehand except to tell them don't blame me if you get caught. " " John, " said Mr . Nixon, " I'm glad you called because I've always been deeply interested in Latin American affairs. And let me say that I'm delighted you don't know anything about nothing because that's the kind of men I want around me. Could I say hello to Martha?' ' "I'm afraid she' s tied up right now, sir.' ' "Well, give her my regards and ... Excuse me, John. There goes Maurice. Pardon me, Maurice, what have you got in that huge laundry bag over your shoulder?" " Oh, it's nothing, sir. Just ten or fifteen million in $100 bills sent in by grateful Americans who wish to remain anonymous. I'm delivering it to a little Mexican laundry because I realize how you want us to use only clean money in your campaign, which I don't know anything about." "Maurice, I can't tell you how glad I am that you're handling the finances, which you don't know anything about. That's the kind of men I want around me." "Thank you, sir. You can always count onmy ignorance.' ' Well, months passed. And while the newspapers were filled with little else but Watergate, Mr. Nixon, as is well known, never reads the newspapers. Actually, it was Mrs. Nixon who brought the matter to her husband's attention. ''Dear," she said one morning at breakfast, "Bob Haldeman told me yesterdaywhattimeitwas." "Good heavens!" cried Mr. Nixon. "If my staff knows what timP. it is, there's no telling where this might end." So he called in John Dean III. "John," he said, " I want you to conduct a thorough, impartial investogation of yourself to see if you know anything about anything." And Mr. Nixon was elated, of, course, to receive a 32-page report from Mr. Dean proving concl usively he knew nothing about • nothing. All might have gone well, had not Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman hired one lawyer between them (there being a critical shortage of lawyers in Washington these days.) " If they know enough to hire a lawye r, " said Mr. Nixon angrily, " they must know something about something, whatever it may be." And that's when Mr. Nixon decided to fire his entire White House staff and replace them with 168 Australian aborigines, all of them deaf mutes. "This should restore the confidence of the Am?rican people in my leadership/ ' said Mr. Nixon triumphantly. " For if I have made one thing perfectly dear, it's that I and the men around me know absolutely nothing about anything." (Copyright Chronicle Publishing Co. 1973) Most Americans are eager to blame the whole Watergate mess upon the President's underlings. Yet the disagreeable truth is that the President, while innocent of any law violations, was responsible for the decisions and the developments that led to Watergatf' . Meanwhile, the heads now rolling in the White House are causing anxious stirrings throughout the federal government. Bureaucrats are worried that departing White House aides, who have been tarnished but not implicated in the Watergate case, will soon be invading their agen• cies and taking over their jobs. Already, of course, the President has stacked federal agencies with Republican friends who devoted themselves to his re-election campaign. Now, however, with the dismissal of H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and John Dean from the White House, the President must decide what to do with the dozens of staffers who worked under these men. Some , doubtless, will stay close to the President. But many will seek refuge · in the bureaucracy's vast hinterland outside the White House. Bureaucracy's Siberia For those seeking total · anonymity, the President can recommend the Siberia of the bureaucracy, the Agriculture Department. This is the home of numerous controversial ~epublicans including Steve King, formerly a top security official for the Republican party. It was King, you may recall, who allegedly helped stick a . needle into Martha Mitchell's bottom to quiet her down last summer. At the time, Martha was howling a bout dirty little deeds in the White House. King, we assume, now has less sensitive chores as Assistant to Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz. For those who would prefer some quick cash for little work, there is the appropriately named Office of Economic Opportunity. This used to be the nation's antipoverty agency. Now, it functions as a haven for ultracons er v a ti ves , many of whom are getting rich dismantling poverty programs. Until July 1, scores of socalled consultants will earn as much as $100 a day for their services. Some of these, not surprisingly, already include ex-White House aides. For many leaving t he White House, therefore, the President's spring cleaning will not be so painful as the public m i ght expec t. Banishment from the White House won't be reflected in their fat paychecks.

A strangeness emanates from Room 215 of the Apprenticeship Building on Wednesday afternoons. It fills the hallways with the subtle fragrance of sandlewood and the unquestionably Asian sounds - flute, clarinet and Koto (a one-stringed Japanese instrument) - that are "Music for Zen Meditation ( and other· joys). " If you happen by - or in - at the right moment, it might even seem that time has stopped. For here are seven . to ten people so intent upon a " different" form of exercise and relaxation that they appear oblivious of the world outside the dimly-lit room. Judy Garger has a lot to do with the atm,)sphere of rare calm and quiet that pervades the room. She has been practicing Hatha Yoga for six years and teaching Yoga classes for two years. Her classes, which meet in room 215at 1 p.mhave swelled from a group of 20, two years ago, to an over:lowing crowd of 65 this spring. They are characterized by hints of ritual (the incense, music, and burning candle) and a surprising feeling that the elements of Yoga are not so strange after all. Judy explains that ASANAS or exercises of Hatha Yoga have their origins in ·'a science that was very carefully thought , out centuries ago.' ' Today their influence can still be seen in the movements of ballet and the training exercises for such individualized sports as gymnastics. We have all experienced the joy of group song, she adds. Chanting recreates that experience each time her students join hands and repeat the sounds of OM (or Perfection). Even the : calmness of mind and clarity of thinking that accompany meditation are not totally alien - she believes that many people have been aware, at least, of those few moments of early wakefulness and calm that precede the mental flood of trivia and responsibility. It is the -orientation of Yoga, not the ac tual asanas, meditation or chanting that is unfamiliar to Western society, she says . She explains that Yoga is a way of life - a philosophy that has as its object ·•to bec om e onepointed/ ' In practicing Hatha Yoga, the student " tries to become one with each posture.' ' Meditation serves likewise, 1 ' to help you become one-pointed with you; mind, '' In time, these practices will lead to " a greater understanding of yourself through self-awareness.'' Judy views her roles as teacher, mother and wife, as integral "parts of my sadhana - my work with and for other people." She said she hopes that '' all the things I do during the day are helping to raise my level of consciousness and the consciousness of people around me." But she is careful to add that Yoga is not for everyone., For some people, she says, a daily schedule of Yoga asanas and meditation represents a discipline that is difficult to follow, at best. For others, these practices quickly become an important and enjoyable part of every day. She has taught Yoga to all age groups and says that people of junior high age and the middle-aged seem to benefit most. ·'Teenagers are fascinated by the whole culture of Yoga,' ' ,according to Judy. "They can do the postures very easily, which has a positive psychological effect on fast-growing individuals who might not excell in competitive sports.'· For these young people, Yoga '' helps to develop self-confidence while it reacquaints them with the beauty of the human bodv. " Judy has se~eral middle-aged students who have experienced physical and mental rejuvination through Yoga. She expresses amazement at the patience of these people: ·' One woman comes to LCC from Cottage Grove. She had what doctors termed a "cal cium deposit' ' in her neck that almost prohibited moving her head. Now . after two terms, she can do head stands. Children and young adults make the most impatient students, Judy says, Though children ·' are very receptive for short periods, it is difficult to keep their attention." With young adults, she adds, the problem is convincing them Yoga is not a crash course in enlightenment. Judy, like many people, says she began Yoga as a form of exercise, ' 'then began to get into myself,' ' Over the years she has bec ome " mor e presentconsciou s . . • and calmer within myself.'' Her future may include study of other form s of Yoga, new teaching situations, extablishing Yoga cl asses as transferrabl e PE classes at LCC (they ar e currently Continuing Educ ation cl asses), or perhaps even a Yoga television show , Whatever , it will all be part of her own special ' ' sadhana. ·' Students at Lane Community College are sponsoring a 5-day outdoor festival of the arts -- SPRING ARTS '73.

Special events that attracted a lot of interest included a pottery sale by LCC ceramics students, and the Phi Theta Kappa Spaghetti Feed. • The Skills Fair was scheduled for May 2 and 3 because the Farm9r's Almanac predicted sunshine and good weather.

Even though the majority of students at LCC are 19 years old, the average age of the student is 24. The majority of Lane students are single and only 35 per cent are married. The study reported that the Social Science area has the biggest enrollment with 523 students in the field. The Business Department has the second largest enrollment and Mechanics and transportation has the third . largest. While 95 per cent of the students at Lane are Caucasian the remaining 5 per cent are either Native American, Black, Oriental, Chicano or unknown. The report showed that 91 per cent of the students' live in-district, while the remaining 9 per cent are either out of district, out of state, foreign, or unknown. While 91 per of the students live incent district, 85 per cent of the students are from Lane County. The average full load for LCC students this winter was about 14 hours, while the average parttime load was about 5 hours. For Winter Term 71 per cent of the students were first year students, while 18 per cent were first time students.

It's true. People have seen Abraham Lincoln in the White House." Following Hanna's introduction to a sizeable crowd, he said that, "there is a great amount of interest in the spiritual world today because something unusual is happening. "All kinds of people around us are trying to do a variety of things in spiritual work which forms like rings around the earth."

(CPS) -Acting with unusual speed, the Hou.se and Senate have approved funds for several student financial aid programs for academic 1973-1974, including a small amount to initiate the Basic Opportunity Grant (BOG) program. A total of $895 million was committed to student aid including $122.1 million for the BOG program, $210.3 million for Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (SEOG), $270.2 million for College Work Study, and $293 million for National Defense Student Loans (NDSL). Congress virtually ignored President Nixon's spending priorities in funding NDSL loans and supplemental grants.

Another student aid program for next fall, Federally Insured Student Loans (FISL), received funds last October. The reshuffling of funds could provoke a showdown between Congress and the White House over spending priorities. The bill reached the floor of the House Thursday April 12 as an amendment to the Joint Resolution on Emergency Supplemental Appropriation s. The amendment was offered by Rep. Daniel Flood (D. -Pa,), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Labor Health, Education and Welfare, with t~e support of Rep. Robert Michel (R.-111.), the ranking minority member. That committee, which has jurisdiction over education appropriation s, had concluded hearings on student financial aid on Apirl 11. Sometime that evening Flood managed to tack financial aid money onto the appropriation s bill that was voted on the next d:1.y. There was some resentmentin the House at the manner in which the Flood Amendment appeared overnight. But Congress is aware that the programs had to be funded soon to benefit students entering school next fall. "They were beginning to feel the state of chaos in financial aid offices," said Layton Olson, director of the National Student Lobby (NSL), one of the many groups trying to force action on the appropriations before the end of this session of Congress. Olson, and most of the staff of NSL, watched from the galleries as the House voted unanimously to pass the measure. The Senate Appropriation s Subcommittee accepted the House figures and sent the bill to the floor of the Senate • for a vote. Tw.1 amendments that would have reallocated funds among the various programs were offered from the floor of the Senate chamber. Senator Clayborn Pell (D.-R.I.) proposed an amimdment that would have eliminated NDSL loans and shifted those funds into the BOG program. .

The student aid package is am 3nded to a supplemental appropriation s bill that includes funds for veterans benefits and Civil Aeronautics Board subsidies. 1-1.nother amendment to the sam3 appropriation s bill adds $85 million to impact aid funds for local school systems near military bases. Nixon is opposed to this program and he certainly will not be pleased with the student aid package, For these reasons he might veto the overall bill and send it back to Congress for further considerations. There had been fear on the part of the numerous education associations in Washington that if financial aid appropriations were not voted on in this session of Congress, then thousands of students would not know if funds would be available for next fall and they would perhaps postpone entering college for a year. This would have had a disastrous effect on higher education which already has had millions of dollars in federal aid axed by the Nixon budget. The big question is whether or not Nixon will accept the insult of having his budget priorities completely disregarded by Congress. Student financial aid could easily become another victim of the battle between the legislative and executive branches for control of the federal pu rsestrings. Nixon could simply veto the bill, let it die unsigned or sign it into law and then refuse to spend the money allocated for the programs he wishes to cancel. A veto could ti:! up student financial aid for months. If the President decides to impound funds for SEOGs and NDSL loans, students will be left with a fraction of the money available last year being administered, for the most part, by two untried and untested programs-B -Xs and FISL loans. There is some indication that the agencies within the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) which administer SEOGs for the Office of Education are being dismantled. One source claims the staff is being cleared out with an unofficial termination date of June 30. The White House could justifiably wait until that datP. before reversing the process. Even then the President might refuse to spend the money authorized by Congress and fund only the programs he approves of: BOGs, FISL loans and Work-Study. Nixon did just that when he impounded $23 million for NDSL loans appropriated by Congress last year, This is complicated by the fact that Congress, when it approved the BCXi and FISL programs, did so with the stipulation that SEOGs and NDSL loans would be fully funded before one cent could be spent on the other programs. Plaintiffs have been lined up to sue the government if Nixon ignores this Congressional mandate again and funds only his pet projects. A study by the Brooking' s Institute says it will be difficult to have the program work if it is funded under $490 million-more than three times the money included in the Flood Amendment. "It's just enough to get the computers rolling, " says Layton Olson. "Even if you doubled the amount appropriated it would be difficult to have a viable program .. " He forsees a flurry of inadequate checks being issued to students next fall if the funds remain low, Olson is pleased that financial aid finally cleared Congress and is on its way to becoming law. NSL supported the funding of the existing programs before the new onest as required by law. It has listed as its first priority rapid action on the part of Congress to allow students to plan for the next academic year with some idea of what funds would be available. At least the first step in this process has been made. It is now up to the White House to determine the fate of student financial aid for academic 19731974 " EMMETT SHANE has a iob for you.

I May 8, 1973 TORCH Page 7 Staff publication fills communication void . • by Ron Hamblen Tournaments, like everything else associated with chess, come in many sizes and variations. But there is one form -.vhich seems to be the most popular, the Swiss System. This does not mean that everyone wears alpine clothing; it only describes the method of pairing, or determining who plays who. Roughly, with this form winners play winners and losers play others abandoned by Lady Luck, It gets more complex. The most common forms of the Swiss are the 7-and 5-round tournaments. In the 5-round, each player plays five games, seven in the 7round form. Rather than actually determining a winner, this system of selecting opponents predicts who would win the most games if all the entrants did play each other, ... by using th1? assumption that the high scorer has demonstrated he is best because he has defeated more "winners" than anyone else. The core of the Swiss is statistics. This does not mean that one must win every game to win the tournam1~nt. It helps, but the concept of winner playing winner is not exclusi.ve (It is not an elimination tournament where a loss bars one from further competition.). Ttnss if a player wins his third round game, he is not restricted to play•• ing only those others who won in the third round game. Totals are made after each round, adding one point for a w:n, 1/2 for a draw, and O for a loss. Pairings are then made on the basis of total points at the end of each round, So, it is possible for someone to lose the first two games, win the next two, and in the fifth round be paired with a player who won his first two while losing his last two, Both players would have an objective score of two wins and two losses (a~, in football, baseball, etc.). The advantage of a Swiss tournament is that it is over quickly. Foremost among the disadvatages is the frequent lack of a clearcut winner (especially in the 5round form). Thus, it is often necessary to resort to tie-breaking modes such as adding up all of the points made by a player's opponents to determine his final standing. Tie-breaking points in turn add a peculiarity to the Swiss.:. style tournament Each player becomes tied ro those he plays be- once a month since December. •it's important to let the staff Tegger said its chief aim is to know that, for example, Steve John provide staff members with news (Staff Association president) is and information from the bodies actually doing things to benefit which represent them on the LCC them." campus.

Prior to January the Veterans Office was part of The Financial Aids Office on campuso It separated to cut down on the work load of the Financial Aids Office and to qualify LCC for a federal grant established by Congress last October. . The grant would have awarded $300 to LCC for each vet enrolled as a full time student. The grant could also have been used to tutor_veterans, allowed women vets to claim their husbands as dependants, and allowed widowers the same benefits as widows, according to Ms. Harmon. The office didn't hire extra personnel for the planned programs, but Ms. Harmon said it was still quite a shock when the grant funding was frozen in February. Ms. Harmon said the Veterans Office tries to do every thing it can to help keep the vet in school. The office's main concern is financial problems the vet may experience--such as a late GI Bill check and general income problems said Ms. Harmon. Tindle is a refugee from London's lower class whose obsession is success. The film 1s carried by the performances of Olivier and Caine because the play itself lacks believability. (It remains essentially a play, recorded on film.) Who could believe that a man, come to confront his lover's husband could then be convinced by that husband to engqge in a fake burglary wearing a clown outfit? Viewers of "Sleuth'' can believe it, but only because Caine and Olivier play it with conviction. They continue to convince us throughout the absurd plot twists throughout the remainder of the movie. The play lacJcs believability be•cause it depends almost totally on the intricacies of plot, rejecting _the influence of character on the action. The conflicting characters of Wyke and Tindle are used only to inject verbal byplay into the dialogue and thus keep up the play's pace. Even so, we believe it all because Olivier and Caine make us not only believe it, but make us laugh at it and be intrigued by it. We even believe Inspector Dopple. ~nd lJlltss ®ur Jad The Pad Chippy Special 5 $1.00 Good for Grouchies NU C FilJtn Series , Coming Fri.

Young and old alike gathered to enjoy the dances, speeches, singing, food, music, and poetry presented by the U of O and LCC Chicanos. The part of the celebration that was held at LCC on Saturday included a pinata-a hollow paper-mache figure that is decorated and filled with candy and treats, and dangled from the ceiling. Children hit at the pinata-the older ones are blindfolded and the younger ones have their bright eyes wide open-until the pinata is broken and the candy falls out. Then aL of the children share in the spoils. Comida Mexicana,. which was inadvertantlybilled by the TORCH as a play last week, was, in fact, a dinner. Comida Mexicana is the Spanish way of saying Mexkan food, ancl the Chicanos served an authentic Mexican meal to over 300 enthusiastic eaters. Mariachis, a traditional eight-piece band from Mexico provided music later in the evening. People danced and sang along with them. First prize in the raffle was an authentic Mexican sombrero, Tickets were also being sold in a raffle featuring a $115 ten-speed bicycle. The final drawing for the bicycle will be held this Friday, and tickets are still available from the Chicano Student Union at 50 cents.

Lane scored 143 points to Umpqua Community College's 42points, Oregon Track Club's 38 points, Southern Cregon College's 21 points and feet 4 inches, hardly the usual event for a sprint man. Burt took third in the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds flat. finishing behind Roger Crawley of the Oregon Track Club' and teammate Wilbert Johnson. Moving to a longer distance in the 220 yard dash, Mark won in a time of 22.6 seconds. He capped off his day by running a leg of the LCC 440 yard relay team, the winning team in a time of 43.3 seconds. Hurdles races provided Lane with more points as Mark DuBose wo1 both the 120 yard high hurdles and the 440 yard intermediate hurdles, with times of 15.4 seconds and ~8.2 seconds respectively. The y:mng Titan weight squad of John WhHe, Doug Lane, Tom Fredrikson an,i Ron Ladd scored heavily in their events, the shot put and discus. John White won the shot and finished third in the discus. Doug Lane was third in the shot and second in the discus, with Fredrikson fourth in the shot and Ladd fourth in the discus. It was another first and second place sweep for LCC as Dana Tims won the 440 yard dash in 51.1, followed by an inexperienced Jeff Hardesty who finis:ied in 51.3.

"It was Al's understanding that that's possible," Carter said. "Sometime last summer AI did come in and talk to me. I gave him a copy of the Board policy. According to Carter, that Board policy was intended to prevent the use of guardianship to circumventtuition. Dean Carter recalls that he did tell Coach Tarpenning that guardianship is possible for students providing that it is "legitimate guardianship .•• If they primarily want to beat the tuition they can't get an aunt or uncle," Carter summarized. Cassidy feels that Lane could really benefit from the application of some of the program that other community colleges are using. '' A bi!! thing would be for the foreign tuition to be waived; Mt. Hood Community College and Spokane Community College have no foreign tuition after 90 days." Gary has been here for six months. The coach's view of the situation parallels Cassidy' s. '' I had met with Jack Carter and I explained to him that there was a boy from Canada who was interested in going to LCC," remembers Tarpenning. "Carter said ' yes, there are things ' you can do,' and it was my understanding that if I was his guardian he would pay in-district (tuition)." Both Tarpenning and Cassidy point out that it would have been foolish for Gary to come to LCC if they were not told that he would be able to pay in-district tuition. ROBERTSON'S . .P.Rl)GS • It is precisely what Al has gone through for his athletes that Cassidy emphasizes: "It seems to me that the Administration is playing against Al when Al is trying to bring recognition to the school by making winning teams. It's not just me," asserted Cassidy.'' Al's trying to improve things but he keeps running into dead ends. He's running around doing all kinds of things for me and the team. He's one of the nicest people I've ever known." Gary's plans were to continue on to the University of Oregon and major in Physical Education. h .11 tt d 1 t ct Of O th nt e_a ·t re~o~, a er~ 1 Ce dmv1si Yd~ at c e\~n ~ f~a .a. cchor mg_tho aryd t e k 1 is a scthoo wi t~ goo t. ra~ ~r~ra~ eytlwon d na wna ~nd ana a recen Yan aveagoo m oor program. t t~ ° The regularly scheduled Odd Lift Weight Lifting Tournament will be held this term on May 30 in the weight room, according to Jack Heisel.

A directive from Gerry Rasmussen, associate dean of instruction, to increase the student/teacher ratio in Language Arts Department classes has caused a new flare-up in an old conflict. Rasmussen said that the order is designed to make quality education available to all, by keeping costs down. College transfer courses have traditionally operated on a profit basis, and are expected to help pay for the more expensive Technical-Vocational courses. he added. Rasmussen's order provides for a student/ teacher ratio of 21 to 1 for the 73-74 academic year, and 21.5 to 1 for 74-75. The ratio for Winter term 72-73 is 19:1. These figures will represent average class size. Certain Language Arts courses, notably second year foreign languages and evening classes, are much lower than this average, said Rasmussen. But several Language Arts instructors intend to fight the order. Ted Romoser, a member of that Department's Teacher Workload Committee. stated that English teachers shouldn't have to worry about budget politics, but rather should concentrate on quality education in their own classes. Romoser cited three main issues: ,. • Literature and Composition classes require a great deal of personal attention and time; large classes make this impossible. (Continued from page 1) "I feel that it doesn't affect me that much. It is so far removed from a persons daily life that you don't even bother to think about it. It is like an extra-curricular activity, where the people who want to get involved do so." • ·~ by Stu Anderson Red Fox Rod Lilly Dave Elwell Student load issue again Jean Gates "I'm just not that interested in student government. This is my first term and I have only five dollars invested in it anyway." II propose a reorganization of the Student Senate ., Thie would entail the writing of new by-laws for the ASLCC Constitution and the reduction of Senate size from its present 45 members to a core group of 12-6 members of the Executive Cabinet and 6 Senatorsat-Large. The new by-laws, as well as the 1973-74 budget, will be drawn up this summer, Red Fox said, and then presented to the students for approval next fall. If the by-laws and the budget are not approved, he said he will then stage an election '' to abolish the Student Senate and establish a committee in its place.'' He did not elaborate, however, on what the make-up or function of that ''committee'' would be. Other concerns of the new President are the development of guidelines for the Emergency Loan Program (which the Senate, in part now funds) and placement of student representatives on the LCC Board of Education, the Oregon State Board of Education, and the Oregon Scholarship Commission. Anderson ... ( Continued from page 2) should be. They have suddenly become remote and inaccessible in Hanoi. This is the outward evidence that they are locked in deep debate. The intelligence reports suggest they are trying to .decide whether to mount a propaganda offensive to win political converts or a guerrilla offensive to win military victories. The intelligence reports claim, in fact, that the North Vietnamese have built up enough strength in the South since the cease-fire to mount a major offensive. They not only have an estimated 150,000 ·combat troops but more than 350 tanks and arrpored vehicles in the South. An offensive, however, would almost certainly bring massive American retaliation. The North Vietnamese, therefore, have been holding their main force in reserve and supporting limited guerrilla attacks. But North Vietnam's negotiators in Paris seem genuinely interested in American aid to rebuild their country. This won't be available until there is a genuine cease:..fire. • Work load decisions should be made by the Department faculty members after rational discussion, rather than being made by the Administration on their own grounds. • Language Arts instructors should not have to work 50 to 60 hours per week in order to support Technical/Vocational instructors who work only 40 hours per week. "We've been fighting this thing for years, and the situation is getting worse," Romoser concluded. Mike Rose, another Language Arts instructor, concurred with Romoser: ''LCC has promised the community quality individual instruction. We are obligated to see that our promise is carried out," said Rose. ''The real cost of this increase will be to the students." Rose concluded by saying that Rasmussen's numerical/financial view of education is the cause of the present friction. Karla Schultz, who teaches mainly foreign languages in the Department, feels that the increased ratio will result in excessive loads on some instructors, thus creating intra-departmental unrest Dean Rasmussen, in defense of his directive, stated that members of the Language Arts Department don't understand the problems of management. Language Arts enrollment is declining, he said, and his directive is an .effort to stabilize this trend. "We must achieve quality education for a reasonable cost," Rasmussen concluded.

(Continued from page I) he didn't foresee all of these problems when setting up the elections. At last Thursday's Senate meeting, Ooms presented the above six charges as a '' rationale for protesting (the) elections. He also read a statement written by one of the election clerks - Markay Belforr - which said she considered the election an "unfair election" because even though the election was run as well as possible, people were able to vote mi: re than once. Rick Mathews, a student body member, also alleged that the elections were unfair due to the fact that campaign materials were within 50 feet of a voting table. Mathews saic he would have registered an official complaint if Ooms had not done so. At last week's Senate meeting, Charles Packnett, ASLCC first vice president estimated the cost of a new election to be close to $300. Packnett also pointed out that other than being costly, holding a second election would be setting a precedent and he "wouldn't like to get into it. '' I busted my ass to try to make this as fair an election as possible," Packnett said. "This is the best election I've ever seen at Lane," he added. Jay Jones, Student Activities director, labeled multiple voting stations as the problem. ''When we go to the second station we begin to lose- control. We can't build an infallible system," he said. Vinyard pointed to the closeness of this election as a possible rea- • son for a second, closely watched election. (Barry Hood was elected first vice-president by only two. votes.) Steve Leppanen, senator-atlarge and ASL CC Presidential candtdate, suggested a run-off election for offices where there was not a clear majority (a clear majority being 50 per cent plus 1). Hood questioned the ethics of accepting part of the election results as valid and at the same time denying part of the results. Leppenan then voiced agreement with this point. At Monday's meeting, Jones pointed out to the Eelection Com mission that there are no existing election laws. The guidelines which were used for this election were never adopted by the senateo Therefore, the Election Commission agreed to revise the cur- · rently used guidelines and to present them to the Senate by May 31.
