Accused of misconduct
Rick Mathews, LCC student and unsuccessful candidate in the 1973-74 ASLCC
Presidential race, is asking for the resignation of .n.SLCC President David Red
Fox and his Executive Cabinet. 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

lived up to his campaign promises, in
particular cutting out convention expenditures. The Senate spent about $1,000 at

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.

The elimination of departmental
senators, the establishment of a judiciary branch of the student government and the differentiation between clubs, service organizations
and student unions were significant revisions in the ASLCC Constitution and By-laws that members of the LCC student government decided to propose to the general body at a three day convention held at the Kah-nee-ta Vacation Resort two weeks ago.

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.

In defense of television news
by Art Hoppe
The White House keeps attacking television news executives for
producing ideological plugola, elitist gossip and slanted stories. This
is most unfair.
Television news executives don't produce news. They buy it.
Anyone who watches television news shows would instantly recognize
the ·place the material comes from. It comes from Central Packaging,
Inc., a bustling warehouse crammed to the rafters with old film clips.
Presiding over this exciting bazaar is Chief Packager Homer T.
Pettibone, who is responsible for both the take-out orders and the
free studio-delivery service.
"Yes, John," Mr. Pettibone was saying into .the phone, "we've
got a great special today - a flood, a fire and Sadat vowing to throw the
Israelis into the sea. Three for the price of two.
"Look, John, no package is complete without a flood and a fire.
Sadat? Okay, you can have him vowing eternal peace. He's speaking
Egyptian or something. Who'll know?
"Good. Now what about a poll? Let's see, you had Nixon down
two points last week. How about one showing him up two points? Besides,
we're all out of ideological plugola.

Sinatra coming out of retirement? You did? Okay, how about Sinatra

Dear Editor:
This letter is addressed to the
students, faculty and staff of LCC.
For the past nine months I've

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. I'll miss my
job , because it offered alot and
because I've been able to strengthen my body with physical labor.
I'll have to seek some other type

Student Government to obtain voting rights during Summer 'Term

The privilege is forthcoming and
not a day too late, I might add.

David Red Fox is the most administratively sound government

direction, and many distinctly different personalities make that direction difficult to achieve. So

that means you have a vote. If

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.
The CSU and I find it difficult
to function ·within• an alien struc( Continued on Page 4)

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.

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.
Tim Williams finished second in the mile with a
lifetime best of 4:13.3. Steve Maryanski also fin-

The athletes and coaches •at Lane should be congratulated on the
fine showings they have made. 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.
This would appear to be a goal worth pursuing.

/

to investigate NSC funding

-ASLCC President David Red Fox has vetoed action taken at Thursdya's Executive Cabinet meeting which would have required the ASLCC
Budget Committee to decide the legality of sending a representive to the
National Student Congress (NSC).
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 .

"You're right, John. I forgot the war , clips. How about on-the~~ene shots of _the ~ront-line ~ighting in Cambodia. Confidentially,
1t s the same chp we ve been usmg for the past five years in Vietnam.
But you know how they all look alike to everybody. Fine, John. No,
no, I won't forget. And a sllce of wry for David.''
Mr. Pettibone hung up and gave his attention to a young man in
a toupee from the local station waiting at the carry-out counter.
"Same as always, AI?'' he asked. "One two-alarm fire, one mayor
vowing to revitalize the city, one manhunt, one Boy Scout litter drive,
twelve sports scores and five minutes of a left-handed young lady
writing temperatures backwards on a glass front-drop. It's a great
package, Al, tried and true.
"But when you get back to the studio, don't forget to shuffle the
contents. Remember, it's the infinite variety of the day's news that
keeps viewers glued to their sets.''

ture and do not feel that our imposition on our Third World counterparts to "motivate" them to submit a budget is justifiable.
The CSU views this as a psuedo
situation and because the attempt

we find it necessary to express
our distaste publicly. We find it
appalling that the CSU be linked

monies even today. We are displeased with the persons who now
turn tricks with the CSU name
and use it as a tool and/or vehicle to attack the former student
government and alienate the present one from expending ANY monies to the CSU.

perso!1s, to whom we give our respechve thanks. The attempt to
stagnate such energy to unite has
