Mathews stated that his request was made because the Executive Cabinet had violated the ASLCC Fiscal Policy and that "Red Fox has not lived up to his campaign promises." On July 25, at a press conference called by Red Fox to explain the ASLCC Senate's goals and programs for the 1973-74 school year, Mathews charged Red Fox and his cabinet with misconduct. Mathews said that a recall petition on the Executive Cabinet "is circulating among students and members of the (hSLCC) Senate now.'' The petition demanded '' an immediate recal of David Red Fox, ASLCC President. Mr. Red Fox has spent over $500 of our money through his executive cabinet at Kah-Nee-Ta vacation resort on July 22, 23 and 24. We believe this is contrary to Mr. Red Fox's campaign promises and we understand that it may even represent a conflict of interest in that his family has economic interest -in Kah-Nee-Ta. We also know that Mr. Red Fox violated existing ASLCC Fiscal Policy. Also, we further demand that Mr. Red Fox be excluded from any position at LCC that has as a responsibility any dealings with student funds." In addition, Mathews accused Red Fox of '' using the students of LCC to further your own political ambitions in running for the State Legislature." Red Fox was the 1972 Democratic nominee for state representative from Lane County's 39th District. He was defeated in the November election by Republican candidate Wayne Whitehead. Mathews stated that the ASLCC Fiscal Policy was violated in that under Convention/Conferences, per diem rates for in-state conventions shall not exceed $25 per · day for lodging and meals. Mathews said that at Kah-Nee-Ta the student government spent $37 per day. Also, the policy states that in-state mileage shall be 10 cents per mile. According to Mathews, the Cabinet allocated 12 cents per mile. Mathews cited these violations as part of his Student cites Red Fox by Carol Newman David Red Fox reason for demanding Red Fox's resignation. . Mathews also said , that Red Fox has not lived up to his campaign promises, in particular cutting out convention expenditures. The Senate spent about $1,000 at Kah-Nee-Ta Vacation Resort on their three Rick Mathews day workshop to update their documents. Mathews has taken his charges to Dean of Students Jack Carter and has given a list of his grievances to Red Fox. According to Mathews, Red Fox has not answered any of his charges to date. Mathews is also working with a group called the S.E.N.A. T.E. (Students Encountering the Negative Aspects of the Totalitarian Elite). According to a recent press release, the organization is made up of "a group of ASLCC senators, club membes, and student union members." It further states that the group was formed to ''discuss the means necessary to stop the attempted take-over of LCC's student government by the ASLCC Executive Cabinet. We decided to form a group and act as such when our different skills can be brought together to accomplish our goal." Their end goal, said Mathews, is to make the "student government better and more accountable . . . I just want it so that the students can find out what's going on (in the government). Even we, as senators, cannot find out what's going on." Besides Mathews, the group includes Lloyd Ewing, Departmental senator; Norma~ _NormiJe, head of the Chicano Student Union; Joe Munoz, and other senators. \Yhen asked if he would run for ASLCC President again if there were another election, Mathews said that he would not run for that office. Munoz, who ran for First VicePresident ill' the last Spring election, also stated that he would not run for an executive cabinet position. But Ewing, who was defeated in a contest for Publicity Director in the last election, said he would run again for an Executive Cabinet position if he felt the candidates running "were not qualified.'' Mathews said that the group is trying to see that "the ASLCC Senate has it's right amount of power . . . that the priorities on campus are activiti~s and services, not off campus trips." He said that the S.E.N.a. T.E. is also working on their own revisions to the ASLCC Constitution and By-Laws. One of the Constitution changes deals with the Executive Cabinet, who, according to the current Constitution, is empowered to enact all Senate business during Summer Term. Mathews said that he would add that, although the Cabinet would be empowered to enact Senate business, they wouldn't be allowed to spend money. Red Fox was unavailable for comment at press time. .

According to the Executive Cabinet's proposal to eliminate the 34 departmental senators, they would would have . been replaced by an additionalthree senators-atlarge. Presently, the Constitution allows for five senators-at-large.

Legal aid proposals studied by Sheila _Rose The Student Senate's Legal Aid Committee Chairman David Edgmon announced last week that the law firm of Bennett, Kaufman & Fisher has been chosen to institute a legal service program at LCC. The committee's decision is still subject to Executive Cabinet approval. "The committee felt and I felt,'' said Edgmon, "that they were more willing to take on a wider span (of services) for the same amount of money.' Edgmon said committee members were also impressed by the firm's willingness to set up law seminars to cover legal problems commonly related to students. Bennett, Kaufman & Fisher's program proposal was selected ove.r two other proposals reviewed during committee meetings held at Kah-nee-ta Vacation Resort. The firms of Babcock & "-Ckerman, and Riddlesbarger, Pederson, Young & Horn had submitted-the other proposals. The committee met with Steve Bennett and Dean Kaufman last Thursday to discuss details of the proposal, which includes handling of traffic citations, public agency disputes, consumer matters, and disputes arising out of automobile accidents. A rationale on the committee decision was presented by Edgmon J.t last Tuesday's Student Senate meeting. Discussion was tabled and no action resulted from the presentation.

For the past nine months I've been an.. employee here, fulfilling my duties as a grounds keeper. I was a part-time student and parttime employee during Winter and Spring Terms. My job includes hoeing shrub beds, mowing l awns, picking up cigarette butts and other litter, giving directions to visitors and lost students, hosing down concrete, transplanting bushes, pruning trees and vacuuming up leaves. I've enjoyed my work for the most part and can say it's the best job I've ever had. But, alas, as of b.ugust 15th, I won't be a grounds-keeper at LCC; the reason being that the whole· grounds-keeping crew, with the exception of two full-time men are being laid-off. The lay-off includes five women and two men. Workstudy students doing grounds keeping work will not be affected. otherwise, a new crew will be hired. My boss, Gary Washburne, head grounds keeper and landscaper, wants to run things "differently" this coming year, which doesn't include me.

This coming year, there is going to be a good deal of effort on the part of good people to better health services, to improve the Student A.wareness Center, to help in problem areas like transportation, legal and housing, and, in my opinion most important, to help foster a sense of "community" here at LCC.

Rick Mathews Social Science Senator Dear Editor: Students of LCC: You probably aren't aware of the struggle in Student Government to obtain voting rights during Summer 'Term for elected, paid representatives. The privilege is forthcoming and not a day too late, I might add. This student government led by David Red Fox is the most administratively sound government in Lane history. It needs some direction, and many distinctly different personalities make that direction difficult to achieve. So once again, I ask the students of LCC to participate. I have a vote, that means you have a vote. If you' re unhappy with student government, tell me, tell me why and what you suggest. I want to help and I want to vote the way the students of LCC desire.

David Simmons Senator-at-Large Dear Editor: Concerning the Chicano Student Unions proposed annual budget of $1,500, also a proposal presented to the Executive Cabinet by the vice president of the CSU, Norman Normile, the content of the latter being; a change of "club status'' for third World student unions, to independently function as student services, providing and dealing with "special problems" involving those particular ethnic groups. A special " problem" needs special attention and special programs. The reader may wish at this time to fall back and depend on affirmative Action. I would like to make available to all interested persons an example of the affirmative n.ction plan of LCC. October 1972 the CSU conducted a research project "Employment situation and department chairmans attitudes toward recruiting and hiring Chicanos at Lane Community College." hlthough the survey is Chicano oriented it reflects that which all Third World persons are ( boot-legged-nortoriously branded because it was not approved by Lane big-wigs) concerned with (or should be concerned). Due to lack of copies, the survey is available for reading only in the CSU. The structure of this institution does not and cannot provide administration and faculty awareness of the special and difficult position of the Third World person, due to lack of expertise. The CSU feels that the Chicano students are responsible for developing their own services as a soveriegn body. During the last year, the CSU has worked hard to declare itself. ,, The former student government was open and many times receptive to our needs. They were constantly accused of favoritism, but seeing as the CSU was the onl y active union on campus, they wer e accused maliciously and ignorant- ly. Today the favoratism stigma still plagues the CSU. The present student government won't touch it with a ten-foot pole, and unless other Third World groups are represented. The CSU has no qualms about the other Third World voices being funded. We are in solidarity with their position. However, we the Chicanos, have side-stepped and refused (and still refuse) to become part of a minority packet (It has been the common practice of this system to throw all "minorities" into one financial bracket and let them fight and kill and destroy each other over SC~PS!) We are put in a position now to not only motivate our ethnic groups but also having to motivate our other Third World groups to submit a budget, begin to develop positive services for their own benefit and the benefit of those who are not familiar with those respective cultures.

Aug. 7, 1973 TORCH Page 3 .....+ - - - - - - - - - - - - - e LCC -a training ground for All-American$ Over the years the name of Lane Community College has coma.. to stand for excellence in athletics. This reputation has been built on the performances of many of our athletes who have been allowed to compete to the highest of their abilities and who have returned with national championships or high finishes. Eight of these athletes have been named as Junior College All-Americans. Starting with two time All-American Jan McNeale in 1969 and 1970, and going through Tim Williams and Steve Maryanski this past spring, Lane has had the good fortune to be represented by outstanding athletes on a continuing basis. McNeale started Lane's rise to prominence in '69 as he teamed with sprinter John Mays, formerly of the University of Oregon, to carry Lane to second place in the conference meet that year. McNeale went on to place in the top three in the twomile in the nationals to capture Lane's first AUAmerican honors. The following season, McNeale came back to lead the cross country team to an undefeated season and, with Hugh Helickson gain All-American status again. McNeale topp~d off his career at Lane by winning the individual championship at the National Cross Country Championships. The spring of 1970 saw Rod Mooers capture third place in the pole vault at 14 feet, to gain All-American mention. Mooers, an all around athlete, was also the school record holder in the 120-yard high hurdles with a time of 15.2 seconds. While the school year of 1971-72 did not see any competitors from Lane advance to national competition, Lane had one athlete that received national recognition. Greg Taylor finished the basketball Athletics big time affair by Steve Busby Athletics at LCC has always been a "big time'' affair. Teams from Lane . have won national championships, regional championships, conference championships, and have gathered numerous individual honors. The accomplishments of the teams at Lane are only enhanced by th~ fact that none of the members of those teams are allowed to receive talent grants to aid in their schooling. Lane Community College must be unique because, in spite of this restriction (the only such restriction in the state of Oregon), teams from LCC have consistently been among the top in the conference, region, and at times natim. The credit for this success must rest not only on the athletes, but the coaches and the LCC Athletic Department. Few other schools could boast of having a growing, progressive athletic program while at the same time laboring under the handcuffing restrictions that are • effect now. Lane's coaches · have brought teams to post season competition consistently in a number of sports: • Lane's basketball team has been involved in post season play for the last two years, last year finishing second in the conference. Randy Griffith, Tim Williams ished ~econd in the javelin with a throw of 238 feet 9 mches. Both efforts were sufficient to warrant All-American honors for the athletes. Williams will be returning to Lane next year while Maryanski will be going on to San Diego State to finish his schooling. • O n e other member of the national champion cross country team f r o m last year received recognition for an outstanding job. Coach Al Tarpenning was named National Junior College Coach of the Year for the outstanding rec ord his team compiled over the past season. Steve Maryanski Deer permit applications due Greg Taylor season as one of the- top ten Junior College scorers in the nation. He received Honorable Mention AllAmerican status and had his picture entered in the National Hall of Fame in Springfield, lllinois ,for his accomplishments. Last fall, the cross country team went to the nationals after a season that saw them embarrass the conference and region with perfect scores. Runners from Lane swept the top five places in both championship meets. To show that this was not a fluke caused by soft competition, the Titan runners captured the national crown as well. In doing so, two of the runners were named to the All-American cross country team. Dale Hammitt and Randy Griffith consistently led the team throughout the season and continued i~to the finals, where they finished in eighth and fifteenth places respectively. This spring another member of Lane's distance corps continued the tradition, by teaming with one of the field crew to lift Lane to a seventh place finish in the national meet at Pasadena, Texas.

However, the question arises: What would the results be if talent grants were made available to students at Lane? At present these grants are not available to any student at Lane, athlete or otherwise. Hence, each year Lane loses many outstanding people who could contribute to the growth of Lane in academic and athletic areas. However, studies are being made, most notably by Dean Piercey, on the possibility of getting talent grants in the future. Without them Lane will lose its high ranking among community colleges in the nation a ranking that we are deservedly proud of. With talent grants Lan~ can continue to grow and improve in all areas while maintaining a high level of achievement.

At Thursday's meeting ASLCC Publicity Director Robin Burns moved for reconsideration of a motion to allow ASLCC Second Vice President Kenny Walker to attend the NSC convention to be held in Miami Beach, Florida August 16-25 at a cost of no more than $966. Ms. Burns moved for the reconsideration because she felt the action to send a delegate was illegal. In a prepared memorandum to the Senate by ASLCC Business Manager Doris Koumoungis the business manager said that the proposed 1973-74 ASLCC Budget (under which the senate is operating) allows no expenditure for NSC and, she pointed out, according to ASLC~ Fiscal Policy: '' There shall be no transfer of funds from one line item to another" and "There shall be no overextension of any line items, unless ratified by the ASLCC Senate." Ms. Burns said later that Ms. Koumoungis' rationale in that memorandum caused her to make the motion for recasideration. Ms. Koumoungis also pointed out that her signature is required on all Senate requisitions. She said that Walker, as second Vice President, had signed the requisition after she refused. Walker admitted that he had signed the requisition because he was allowed to do so in the Business Manager's absence according to ~LCC Fiscal Policy. Additionally, he said, part of those funds had already been spent for convention registration. (Ms. Koumoungis said in a later interview that, in her opinion, Walker's actions were illegal because she claimed that she was not "absent", that she had only refused to sign the- requisition because she felt it was not in accordance with the ASLCC Fiscal Policy. She also said that she had asked Walker to wait one day before signing the requisition so the Executive Cabinet could deal with the issue.) After more discussion the Cabinet voted to allow the Budget Committee to determine if funds could legally be spent for the convention. However, the following day President Red Fox vetoed that action in accordance to Robert's Rules of Order which states: "The motion to reconsider . . . can be applied to the vote on any motion except an affirmative vote whose provisions have been partly carried out (i.e. part of the funds have been spent for the convention registration) . . . or "a vote on a motion to reconsider.'' Red Fox was unavailable for comment. In other business a request by Student Senator Norman Normile for reimbursement for expenses for a trip to Salem to visit the State Penitentiary was referred to the Finance Committee. Two motions were made to reimburse Normile but both died for the lack of a second to the motion. Acting Chairman Barry Hood then referred the issue to the Finance Committee .
