Construction on the new LCC PPrforming Arts Building is expected to begin
this · week, according to Bill Cox, Superintendent of Campus Facilities,
The construction project was awarded to
Todd Constructi::m Company of Roseburg by
the LCC Board of Education on June 13,
Cox said it was expected that the company
would break g-round last Monday, but had
been delayed because of the Operating En;;ineer·s strike.
The building plan has received architec tural revisions several times since the first
proposal, most recently since the construction bids were made, with the closest
bid $266,000 over expected costs. The ori-

ginal estimate put the cost of the building
at a little over a million dollars.
Performing _Arts D_e~artment ChairJI:}an Ed
Ragozzino said add1t10nal cuts of :))60,0~0,
causing a ·'comprom~.se in terms of quality
and quantity,'' had been made in order fo
save the bid. He ex_plamed that the cuts were
not in footage, but structural and interior
changes. Ragozzino added that the equipm.-?nt fund (lighting, seats, and teaching supplies) had suffered the most. He said any
funds not spent from the contingency, or
saved because of contributions of materials,
would be earmarked for equipment.
·'The important thing,·' said Ragozzino,

Dr. Curr y sele cted
to fill Boa rd vaca ncy

Dr. Ctiarlene Curry of Springfield was recently seJ,,.~ted by the
LCC Board of Education to fill the
one year Board vacancy let by
Rob-2rt
who resi 6ned
May 9, leaving Zone 3 witht)Ut a
Board rep:-esentative,
Zone 3 includes Springfield,
Marcola and the McKenzie school
d·.stricts. Dr. Curry describes her
constituency as a "dinrse area
to represent''. She will hold the
position until July 1, 1974, when a
representative will be elected to
a four year term
Robert Mention, Board chairman, announced Dr. Currys' appointment at a special B,)ard meeting on Wednesday, June 20.
As a professional educator I Dr,
Curry sees community colleges as
an open type of education-pe ople
are able to enter and fill their
educational needs at any Jevel.
'' This is the beauty of the community colleges,'' she sa1d.
She explained that it is her job
to be a facilitator of dialo6.1e between peo;>le who understand this
need and those who don't. Sh•.? also
said an important part of her job
is to communicate to people in the
corn mu nity information about the
facilities, programs, and learning
po::;sibilities that exist at Lcr; ,
Dr. Curry describes hers:~U as
warm, direct, and accessible. She
said that her applicati.:>n and ac -

ceptance for a Bo.rd position is
unique:
most professional educators like herself ·' spe:-id their
time grumbling about B~ards' • but
she has decided to take an a..:tive
part.
Dr. Curry holds bachelor of
science and master of education
degrees from OregJn State University, and a doctor of philosophy
degree in education obtained last
March from the U of 0, She has
taught in the public schools, has
been an instructor at the U of
0, and also has experience as a
guidance departm-:nt director in
the Springfield school system.
Chairm-m Mention commented
favorably on Dr. Currys' background as an educator and on her
interest in education for all people
of the community.
Dr. Curry wants to be as accessible as" is humanly possible."
She added that students (or any
members of the community) should
feel free to call her at horn,~ to
talk about any problems related to
the college.
"I have always worked with students," she said. Talking with and
helping students is a '' part of my
whole way of life .•. "
.
The ASL.-=:,,.., Senate had sent a
letter to the Board t:iquesting that
a student be appointed to serve
the one year vacancy. How,::ver,

For worksho p in July

Sena te chooses resor t site
Kah-nee-ta Vacation Resort, located on the Warm Springs Indian
Reservation in central Oregon, was
the site chosen by the ASLCC Exeeutive Cabinet at their Wednesday
meeting for the next Senate leadership workshop, to _be held July
22-24.
The Executive Cabinet
(the only summer voting members
of the ASLCC Senate) then allocated over $900 for the delegates
to attend the workshop.
Over 20 people will attend the
meetings and work to update student government documents.
The Senate will send 15 people,
including all five Executive Cabinet
members, two senators-at-l arge,
two representativ es, and several
departmental senators. Included in
the $900 figure is a $15, per delegate, reimburseme nt cost to cover
expenses outside of room and board.
Also attending at the Senate's
expense will be two representatives from the Oregon Community
College Association, former ASLCC President Jay Bolton, and
Senate Advisor Jay Jones.
In other Senate action the Cabinet
voted to table three separate requests for money- -from the Emerald Boxing Club, the LCC Literary Arts Club, and the Chicano
Student Union (CSU).
Senator Norman Normile, CSU
Vice-Preside nt, strenuously objected to the tabling action of the

CSU $1,500 budget request. The
proposal had been subm Hted to the
Budget Com 'lli.ttee, but was not
included in the budgets final draft
(see story this page).
The request had included $500
for Cinco de M1yo (the fifth of
May celebration), $200 for a Chicano literature and arts library.
The item will be considered again

Continued funding for Athletics,
increased Health Services and
Family Planning, and full tuition
t'or all Senate m,~mbers are all
part of the final draft of the ASLCC Senate's 1973-74 budget.
The Senate Budget Committee
completed work on the $100,000
budget last month, and will present
it to the LCC B~ard of Education
for approval on July 11,
The extra-curricu lar athletic
program will again receive $25,000
in the second year of a five year
agreem,~nt.
The Health Services budget has
been raised to $19, 460, an increase of over $4,000. It was allotted $15 ,000 for the '72-73 school
year. In addition, a Family Planning Clinic will be established,
costing $6,440. Dental Services
will again be funded at $2,800,
putting the total sturlent medical
services at nearly $30,000, the
largest chunk of the ASLCC budget.
Tuition will be provided Jgain
next year for all five Executive
Cabinet officers. The number of
Senators-at-l arge will be increased from the present five, to
eight, and their tuition will also
be paid in full. This increa se was
suggested by ASLCC President
David Red Fox so that the depart mental senator's positions m'ly
be eliminated. Also added were
two completely new positions with
tuition paid: a legal aid co-ordinator and a transportatio n coordinator.
The committee also voted to allot
$3,800 to the TORCH for printing expenses, and $3,500 to the
Evening Program Advisory Comm;_ttee (EPAC). EPAC, who provides services and activities for
evening students, had originally
made a $16,500 budget request,
$ll,000 of which W<ls for special
evening services including child
care and health services.
The Student Awareness Center
(SAC) was budgeted for $2,500,
a $500 reduction from their budget

year, SAC received $500 from the
Senate, and for 72-73 received
double that amount, $1,000.

The ·innocent bystander~
by Art Hoppe

It was during the Watergate affair that young-Freddie Frisbee first developed the initial symptoms of a classic case of paranoia.
As he read the daily revelations of widespread
buggings, wire-tappings, spying, infiltrations and
burglaries by Government agents, his sense of
unease grew.
The first outward sign that he was suffering
from delusions of persecution came on a Monday
evening. He picked up the phone to call a liberal
attorney he knew and then, after a moment's
thought, hung up the receiver.
"There's a good chance they've tapped his line,"
he explained to his wife, Felicia. "Or ours."
"Really, dear,'' said Felicia blithely, "you're
just overwrought.'' .
But when a friend attempted to take a jolly
group picture at a picn-ic - the following Sunday~
Frisbee dove head first into the sand, · burying
his head up to his ears.
- "You know Army intelligence agents are always taking crowd shots to compile dossiers,"
he explained to Felicia. "Well, there's no sense.
taking chances."
A wJrried Felicia insisted he see a psychiatrist. And a reluctant Frisbee was dragged to
the offices of Dr. Hermann Schrinck.
"Now, Mr. Frisbee," said Dr. Schrinck, folding
his hands, '' just tell me what seems· to be bothering you."
"I would, doctor," said Frisbee cautiously.
"But the evidence shows there's a good chance
your offices will be burglarized by the CIA who
will seize the records of our intimate conversation for who knows what ends.''
Dr. Schrinck shook his head sadly. "It's the
times we live in," he said. "I'm afraid they've
made you an incurable paranoid. All I can offer
r

"'

you , M.r. Frisbee, is my deepest symJathy."
From there, Frisbee went steadily downhill.
He refused all dinner invitations on the grounds
he hadn't adequate facilities to check the guest
lists. He triple locked all the doors and arose
thrice nightly to make sure no one had taped
open the latches.
Felicia grew increasingly distraught. "Please,
dear," she said, sobbing, "tell me what's the
matter."
"I would,'' said Frisbee, frowning. "But how
do I know you're not an FBI agent or a White
House consultant? If they can infiltrate political
groups to spy on them, there's no reason they
can't infiltrate my household."
Felicia left him. He burned all his membership cards, including that of the Red Cross.
He slept with his hi-fi on in case he talked in
his sleep. And he never emerged from the house
without his red wig and black moustache.
His friends never called anymore, nor did
his neighbors speak to him, considering him, at
best, "odd."
Then came The Coup of 1984.
One by one, his former friends and neighbors
were led off to jail on the evidence compiled
in their thick dossiers. And it came as no surprise
to Frisbee to see Dr. Schrinck being dragged off
to a Government mental institution for , "rehabilitation.'
"It's you who are the incurable paranoid,''
the struggling Dr. Schrink shouted angrily at
Frisbee as he passed. "Not I."
'~All I can offer you, Doctor,'' said Frisbee
with a faint smile as he strolled off, a free man,
"is my deepest sympathy."

On the afternoon of July 22,
the ASLCC Executive Cabinet and
friends (see Senate story, page 1)
will be leaving for a three-day
-workshop to be held at Kah-NeeTa Vacation Resort on the Warm
Springs Indian Reservation in Central Oregon. The workshop is
being held to allow the Senate to
update their docum'imts.
The resort, known for its expensive tastes, will be costing the
students of LCC a total of $597 .50
This is for lodging and meals.
However, as if that isn't enough,
Kenny Walker, ASLCC Second Vice
President, proposed at the June 2~
Executive Cabinet meeting to include $15 additional funding for the
members of the Executive Cabinet,
two senators-at-large, two departmental senators, the health services co-ordinator, the transportation co-ordinator and the VicePresident of the Chicano Student
Union. He said that this additional $15 is to cover "expenses."
So, all totaled, this three-day workshop is costing the students $906. 50 (so far).
The following was the rationale
given bv Walker · for the additional $15 expense;
• August 12-19, 1972--"four representatives were sent to Washington, D. C. for the annual NSA
Convention, and on the fourth day
of the conference, all per diem
due to the rising cost of living
was exhausted. In order to maintain normal efficeincy (?), it was
n~cessary to send back for additional funds, $200.'' I'm asking, was that $200 apiece, or $50?
If we accept this kind of rationale,
why didn't he ask for $50 per delegate for Warm Springs instead of
a trifling $15?
• March 7-12, 1973--"four representatives w•are sent fo Anaheim,
California (just a few steps away
from Disneyland) for the AACJC

Dear Editor:
This is my last term at Lane
Community College. I began here
several summers ago, a high school drop-out searching for some
direction in which to channel his
energies.
I was very mixed-up as to what
area I should go into and so I
have had to change my major a
few times since I started college
which meant that I have had to
stay here a little longer than the
normal two year LCC student.
In looking back on all of my time
at LCC, I see only two real gripes
that I have with this institution.
One is the way that the ASLCC
Senate uses its funds and its student
body, and the other is because of
a Financial Aid Office rule.
The rule I am referring to is
one which states that no one shall
receive financial aid after he has
attended nine terms at LCC,
whether he has used nine terms
of financial aid or not. I feel
that this rule should only be applied to students who have received nine terms of financial aid.
I will use my situation as a case
in point.
I have gone more than nine terms
to LCC, but I have only received
three terms of financial aid. Until this summer I have accepted
the rule as fair. But now that
it not only keeps me from receiving aid I seriously need but
it also causes me to work at two
jobs where entitled students receive work-study money or no
money at all, I feel it is extremely unjust. At one of these
jobs I have worked up to 90 hours
in one week along side paid
students.
It is too late for a change in
this area to help me but I would
really like to see this rule examined by the Financial Aid Office before other students find
themselves in the same position.

Sackett leaves vacancy

Applicants file for coaching position
Lane is well on the way to
having a new baseball coach to
replace Fred Sackett.
Sackett
resigned last spring to become
director of Christian Education at
the First Baptist Church in Eugene.
The Athletic Department has received about 20 applications for the
position as of the closing date
Friday.
In addition to coaching baseball,
the P.E. position requires teaching one physical education class
and one health class. Therefore,
applicants must have at least a
masters degree in Physical Education with at least five years
experience in coaching. (College
coaching experience is helpful but
not required).
During the next week the Athletic Department screening com-

mittee will be checking the applicants, narrowing the list down
to three, which will then be sent
to a selection committee for selection of the final choice. The final
selection will then be sent to th~
LCC Board of Education for approval.
According to Dick Newell, department chairman, the final selection should be made by Julyl0.
This would allow the new coach
time to organize his program and
get acquainted with the players
and other personnel he will be
working with.

The new look of LCC basketball will be apparent to qbsE;!rvers
from the first day of practice.
Coach Dale Bates wants it that
way.
Bates, the new coach hired to
replace Irv Roth who retired at
the end of last season, adheres
to the philosophy of a strong defense coupled with a strong offense.
He doesn't want to waste any time
putting his ideas into action.
In a brief meeting with prospective players for next year,
Bates emphasized that the players
should report to practice on the
first day ready to take part in
the same type of practice that
they will see later in the year.
"I believe you play the way you
practice. We want to be hungry
Friday and Saturday. otherwise,
it will be a long season.' '
" We are going to run and make
things happen," said Bates. "We
are going to force the other people
to turn things over .... "

Bates has established some definite goals for next years team.
First will be to win their share
;of the games in conference play.
According to Bates, "Winning our
share means achieving our potential. I have · had some 20 game
seasons, but I have never won
my share.''
The second goal will be to go
to the OCCAA tournament next
year. Lane has gone to tne tournament every year since it was
organized, and has never finished
lower than third. Placing in the
tournament this year may determine the representatives who travel to the- Region 18 championships in Idaho- -which is ·Bates
third goal.

Bates sees a tight race in the
'. OCC~ this year with five teams
rating as championship contenders: Central Oregon, Lane, LinnBenton, -Umpqua, and Blue Mountain.
Two other teams, Southwestern Oregon and Clackamas,
would rate as dark horse contenders.
As Bates says, every game in
the conference next year is THE
game.

Bence highlight first all-comers meet
The first of the Oregon Track Club's all-comers meets was
held at LCC Wednesday and Thursday of last week with over 100
people taking part in a number of different events.
The marks, for the most part, were not extraordinary. This was
due to the fact that many of the participants were competing in events
they were not familiar with, such as Oregon's Steve Bence, a half
miler,
Bence won the triple jum",) with a leap of 37 feet 9 inches.
Lane's Wes Dickinson was a double winner in the Open division
as he tied Rick Nickell for first in the 100 yard dash. Both runners
recorded a time of 10.1 seconds.
Dickinson also took the 220 yard dash in a time of 24.3 seconds.
Bence came back to win the 440 yard dash in 49.2 econds, becoming
the meets second double winner in the Open division.
Decathalon competition highlighted the two day affair, with Kim
Nutting of South Eugene High School winning the event with a total
of 6,186 points in the ten events. He was followed by Kevin Tarpenning
of LCC, who finished with 5,734.
John Gillespie of the Monmouth Track Club was the leader in
the decathalon after the first day but faded the second day as Nutting
and Tarpenning came on to drop him from the lead.
Nutting showed versatility in the field events as he came back
the second day to win the shot put with a throw of 47 feet 1/4 inch,
and the high jump with -a height of 6 feet 2 inches.

With six pl ayers back from last
year ' s team, (which came in second
in the OCCAA tournament and led
the conference in defense), the
emphasis on defense should be
one that the players could adapt
to easily. The six returnees are
John Roper, Rod Cross, (co-winner
of last years MVP award), Greg
Green, (hero of the double overtime win in last years OCCAA
tournament). Jim Redman, Tony
Williams, and La Verne Van Martin. These men combine to give
Bates a solid nucleus around which
to build his team.

This competition has become one
of the top regional tournaments
in the country. Over the years
such players as Vic Kelly of the
University of Southern California
have appeared in this event.

based on the assumption that the
shots from close-in have a better
chance than those taken from farther out: He feels 50 per cent
of the shots should be from within
an arc nine feet from the basket.
Virtually all of the shots should
be taken within an arc no further
than 18 feet from the basket.
This shooting philosophy, coupled with a desire for strong
rebounding, brings into focus the
need for more big men at LCC
to combat the influx of big men
at the other schools in the conference. To this end Bates has been
trying to recruit such players as
Vince Ortzen of Ashland, Tom
Burrows of Sheldon, Robbie Smith
of Pleasant Hill, and Dave Roshau
of North Eugene--all 6' 5" or taller.
They've established that
they can play inside as well as
move well with the ball from the
high post position.
Lane is blessed with a surplus
of fine small men who can handle
the ball, run the offense, and
score well from outside. An abundance of wing men makes the job
of rounding-out the team one that
most coaches would wish for.
According to Bates, the combination of these factors will make
the pick-and-roll one of Lane's
strongest offensive weapons.

by Jim Crouch

•

The five dollar1 fee each LCC full time student is assessed
is not near the value this term as compared to the last three terms.
This five dollar fee paid b·y all full time students is what makes
up a large portion of the ASLCC budget, (last year's budget was
$106,000).
The budget is disbursed by the Senate over the year
to provide student services and functions. In the past it has not pro-

.AN Al YSIS

vided these services for Summer term students-this Summer is
no exception.
David Red Fox, newly elected ASLCC President, said that this
past inequity is the fault of the documents that govern the Senate
expenditures. He was referring to the past budget and fiscal policy.
Red Fox added,"Our present documents only provide student services during the fall, winter and spring terms. We are going to change these to include the summer term students. · However," said
Red Fox, " this proposed new policy will not be implemented until
next ye ar.
The reduced Health Care Services may be felt most by students.
Laura Oswald, director of student health services the loss of the part
time doctor resulted from a lack of money. The ASLCC Senate
funded student health $15,000 last year.
Ms. Oswald pointed out
that this was just enough to provide a doctor 20 hours a week and a
l ab technician ten hours a week for three terms. The budget for
73-74 has been r ai sed to $26, 9000, this will provide a family planning clinic in addition to the normal health clinic.
Ms, Oswald stated that this summer all that will be provided for the
students i s a health referral service and first aid. She added, ' 'this
is all the LCC administration feels is needed on campus, and all
they ar e willing to provide.' '
,,
The ASLCC Senate also provides the Athletic Department with
$25,000 per year, of this, $15,000 is budgeted for inter-collegiate
sports.
This summer no inter-collegiate sports are offered. In
addition intramural sports are not available this summer.
Student activities such as guest lecturers, plays and concerts
are funded by the ASLCC Senate budget. The 72-73 budget provided
$2,000 per term last year, although summer term was not included.
However, one service provided for summer students is the student awareness center (SAC).
According to Jerry Edgmon, SAC
Director, the main function of this student operated office is to help
students with their needs, which include housing and transportation.
SAC maintains a list of current area rental housing and match students in need of housing with thefr individual needs.
David Edgmon has been named legal aid director and is in the
process of working out a subsidized legal aid service, to be implemented l ater this term.

sets--spend money to compensate
for the ever rising cost of living
and expenses incurred, $500.' ' Again, what was this additional $500
used for? And heaven forbid that
anyone should have to take any
m-:>ney out of "their own personal
assets." Evidently, they would
rather take the money from the
students .
And so the list continues.
Although these discrepancies
were part of the previous administration, Kenny Walker was a part
of that same administration.
So, the question is: Is it worth
it considering what benefits the
students will reap? According to
Walker, "We're going to work to
get our documents in line, we ' re
going to work for the students
. . . I think it' s worth a couple
of grand. "

state organizations were cut in
half.
The activities budget for next
year has been reduced to $1,500
from last year's $6,000, but club
prom8tions of $1,250 were retained. Each recognized campus
club may receive $75 per year
from the club promotions line
item.
The Titan Code, which in previous readings of the budget had
been alloted $1,000, was left at
zero. Student contributions were
also left at zero am~unts.

Dear Editor:
At the last meeting of the AS LCC
Senate Executive Cabinet on the
27th of June, a request for funds
from the LCC Literary Arts Club
was tabled until next fall. This
request was only .for $75. (The
Senate spent more than that at a
recent budget committee meeting
at which -- as Bob Vinyard, former ASL CC treasurer; put it -"Several bottles of fine wine,"
were purchased with Senate funds).
No reason was given for this
move. It couldn't have been because the club has been given too
much money this year as it only
received $75 from the Senate.
(Last year it got $500, and $500
the year before.) other clubs and
organizations have received much
more. (The basic Design Club
.recently received $360 and the
Chicano Student Union has been

Dear Editor:
The Transportation Co-op in
SAC is not operational at this
time, due reorganization and lack
of student interest. Ideas can and
will be accepted by me via the
transportation co-op file box on
my desk in the SAC office. The.
new co-op will be called TRANSCOPIC and the first date of operation has not been established
due to lack of student interest.
