Bus tokens attract long lines

by Paul Waldschmidt
LCC's subsidized bus token program, operated by the
Student Awareness Center
(SAC), ran out of money yesterday (Monday), but was rescued by an emergency loan
of $250 from the LCC Development Fund, according to
Jerry Edgmon, SAC director.
The loan will allow the program to continue until Thursday when Edgmon will go back
to the ASLCC Senate to again
ask for more money.
'' The Senate gave us some
money to start the program,
but ever since Kenny Walker's
trip to Miami was mistakenly
charged to our (budget) line
item, our books have been
fouled up. I've been buying
the tokens out of my office
budget and now the account
is over-drawn," he explained.
Edgmon reported that at last
Thursday's Senate meeting he
asked the Senate for more
money. He was told that it
could be handled by the Treasurer without formal Senate action.
However, when Edgmon took
the request to Vern Whittaker,
LCC's chief accountant, Whittaker explained that the administration required the authorization published in the
Senate's minutes, according
to Edgmon.
''LTD offered to front me
5,000 tokens but I didn't want
to take the chance of being
stuck with all those tokens
and no money to pay for them.
The whole thing is up to the
Senate now, 1 ' he stated.
Last week before the center
ran out of money for the
tokens, LCC students, hoping
to avoid the long lines at
service stations by riding the
bus, were waiting in lines outside of the SAC Office to buy
tokens.
Tom Phillips,
However,
SAC transportation coordinator, explained that part of the

reason for the lines is that
the center was also rationing
the sales of bus tokens.
Phillips said that SAC previously sold aboutl,000tokens
a day. Half of these were sold •
at noon and the rest atll:30 a.m.
Monday through Friday. SAC
also sells tokens to night students at 6:30 p.m., Wednes-

instead of metal tokens to
SAC.
"Originally LTD ordered
80,000 tokens. There are now
only 40,000 left in circulation. They (LTD) figure that
people are hoarding the other
40,000,'' Edgmon explained.
He warned about the one

Analysis by Robin Burns
More than 1,200 students did not receive their grade reports last term
because of monies owed the college, according to the Student Records office.
Eighty percent of these students, according to LCC Registrar Bob Marshall,
also found their registration packets placed on "hold" until such time that
a release could be obtained from the Business Office.
LCC does not have a comprehensive policy governing these practices, but
they are implemented in the following manner:

Registration packets
A policy for holding student registration packets is included in the "Guidelines for Tuition and Fees," dated May 20, 1971, and is on file in the Dean of
Students Office. It reads, "Students will not be permitted to register for
classes until all moni~s owed the college from previous terms are paid. Any
exceptions must be approved by either the Financial Aids Office or the Dean
of Students."
according to Marshall, debts resulting from Bookstore credit and nonpayment of tuition deferments and loans--usually involving relatively large sums
of money and processed directly through the Business Office--result in the
student's registration packet being held.
Vern Whittaker, chief accountant at the LCC Business Office said that
the Business Office places a hold on registration packets when it receives
information indicating that a student owes the college money. He said that
the promissory note signed by the student wishing to defer tuition or receive
a loan clearly spells out that grades will be held until the obligation is
satisfied. But the note makes no mention that the student's registration
packet will be held until the debt is paid.

Grade reports

days and Thursdays, in the
Adult Education Office.
The number of tokens sold
to individual students is rationed, Phillips added. Students may only purchase IO
tokens at a time.
Edgmon explained why the
rationing bus tocenter is
<'We could go through
kens:
the whole 1,000 in 27 minutes.
We have before. By selling the
tokens twice a day, we give
students that may be in class
a chance to buy at a different time,'' he pointed out.
In addition to other shortages, there is now apparently
a bus token shortage, according to E d g.m on. The Lane
Transit District (LTD) is now

drawback to paper coupons:
''Students are trying to stuff
the coupons in the coin box
and jamming the machine. We
had one bus out of commission last week because someone stuck one in the box.
Just hand the coupon to the
driver,'' he emphasized.
Looking beyond the present
lack of funds, Edgmon speculated on other sources of revenue that could reduce the
price of the tokens from the
present 15 cents.
"We've been discussing the
possibility of students who
drive cars to campus purchasing parking stickers. Hopefully it would be a voluntary
program," he explained.

Florence center authorized
The LCC Board of Education met Wednesday evening andauthorizedarchitectstocomplete working designs for the new Siuslaw
Learning Center in Florence. nccording to
Bert Dotson, assistant to the president, federal funds amounting to nearly $200,000have
already been allocated to LCC for the project.
"Florence was chosen as the site for the
center because that area has the most remote
population within the whole district," Dotson
explained. "We can't reach Florence with
educational TV because of the Coast Range
and there is no cable tie-up over there."

cational courses although some liberal arts
courses may be taught.
Dotson said the building will be erected
on 20 acres of land donated by the Siuslaw
School District and the city of Florence.
"The center will be built adjacent to the
Siuslaw High School and we will be utilizing
some of their facilities,'' Dotson added.
Not all of the programs offered at Florence
could be completed there. Dotson explained,
"We're not duplicating the main campus
offerings, although we are trying to allow
students to get some courses out of the way
before having to leave home."
"If everyth·mg goes as i·t shouId, the proposed time schedule calls for construction
to begin in about five months. , The estimated
time of completion is eight months from that

. OrJy th~ stu~ent's grade reports will be held due to nonpayment of library
fmes, parkmg fmes, P.E. debts, and Study Skills debts according to Marshall
These debts usually involve smaller sums of mon~y. The billing is take~
care ~f by the individual department to whom the money is owed.
Bill_s from the Library and Campus Security state that non-payment will
result m the student's grades being held.

Policy

Distinctions are made between the amount of money owed and the kind of
debt, _although the only existing policy simply says '' all monies 0,wed."
Neither Marshall nor Jack Carter, dean of students, were able to cite a
comprehensive written policy outlining all procedures taken by the college
Whittaker stated that "practice is policy."
to recover student debts.
Carter_ a?reed t_hat this kind of information should be in the catalog,
although 1t 1s not mcluded at this time. He stated that the student "has a
right to . know what k1hd of sanctions can be imposed against him."
Accordmg to the Institutional Bill of Rights, Section 38 (part of Board
of Education Policy) '?o sanction may be imposed for a violation of any
coll_ege rule or regu~ahon that has not been published and been made freely
a_va1lable to all students. Responsibility for the publication of such regulations shall rest with the administration."
an attempt to comply with this has been made in several areas of the
cam?us admin~stration. Ca1:1pus Security distributes a pamphlet at registrat10n rega_rdmg_motor vehicle regulations. It describes the campus rules
and regulat10ns, the types of violations, the methods of enforcement, the
proceoures of appeal, and the results from non-payment of fines. This
pamphlet was distributed during Fall ·Term registration 1 however was held
up in the _printing and was not available for Winter Term registration.
Information. concerning procedures taken foi: overdue books is published
by the Le~rnmg. Resource. Center in its handbook, according to Cheryl
Coleman~ circul~ti.on supervisor. The handbook is available in the library
and a sign outlmmg these procedures is in the process of being made.

Lega/ interpretations

There is no actual statute covering the ,legality of withholding ,.,.rade reports. What does exist is. an opinion by Ed Harms, LCC attorney, regarding
a sta.tement made by Oregon ~ssistant Attorney General William Linklater.
Lmkla~er had given an informal opinion that the community college had
no au thority to withhold grade reports or transcripts from students because
~e student did not pay library fines or other specific charges not included
m the normal registration process.
In a letter to Carter, dated July 25, 1973, Harms stated: "It is my opinion
th~t. Ass_'t _Attorney General Linklater's (and henceforth the State Board's)
opm1on 1s m error and that the college may withhold grades and transcripts
not o~ly for !uitio~ .and no~mal fee payments but for other unpaid charges:
Mr. Lmklater s opmion ... is based on the status of grades as public records

-Students denied rights

Student rights .are being violated by the Administration's practice of withholding registration packets and grade reports when students owe money
to the college (see story, page 1). This practice
directly affects the academic careers of students,
yet they have virtually no information concerning
the procedures that can be taken against them.
The leg2 l justification the college uses for its
practice of withholding grades is merely an opinion
of an opinion. Perhaps . the Senate should finally do
something for the benefit of all LCC students and
challenge it in court. Such a step would certainly
help t~ clarify the current situation.
However, the . major responsibility still lies with
the Administration. It must immediately formulate
a comprehensive policy explaining the procedures
taken in each campus area to collect money owed
by the student, and clearly defining any results the
student faces due to nonpayment of his debts.
The Administration has the further responsibility
of publishing this information and making it "freely
available to all students," either in the catalog or in
a special pamphlet which would be distributed at
registration.
Until the Administration fulfills this obligation,
LCC students will continue to suffer gross inequities
because of a policy _that doesn't really exist.

Last week LCC President Eldon Schafer reiterated
a consistent position that the Administration apparently
holds regarding their attitude towards student rights.
Dr. Schafer, when asked why a student was not on
the committee to select a new t .. ssociate Dean of Instruction, replied that traditionally these committees
have not included students. It is this type of reasoning

The word traditional is indicative of a situation
that always stands on ceremony. Policy maintained on
this level is to be • expected in institutions like the
benevolent Protective Order of the ·Elks or some type
of religious institution, but not in an institution that
prides itself on the search of knowledge. Often times
administrators .get caught up in streamlining operations
in the name of efficiency and this is where words like
traditional, productivity, and upward mobility come
from.
As long as the administration prides itself in nice
words that deal with pat answers to difficult questions
they might consider the ·word reciprocity. Jus.t think
what a transformation this would mean to higher education. We could all get down to .practicing the teachings
of the institution on a collective basis (students and
administrators) and then maybe the term innovative
bility would be applicable
would be an applicable adjective for this institution. •

Bonanza for Oil Barons

also used the shortage as an
excuse to cut back some of
the products that aren't too
profitable. The oil industry
produces around 3,000 products, some of them vital to
other industries. Now oil
companies are channeling
the available oil into the products that make the rnost
money for themselves.
The majors are also closing
.their less profitable gas stat10ns and putting the squeeze
on independently-o wned stations .. This means the oil short age will wind up increasing
the profits that the big companies get from their retail
outlPts.
So far. the oil shortage has
bef'n a bonanza for most com panies. Only their customers
are hurting.

among college administrators that makes a mockery out
of higher education.
As a student progresses through the maze of the
academic world he/she runs head on into conflict concerning logical answers as opposed to the reality that
exists within that institution. On one hand the institution of higher learning stresses an all-out search for
pure truth and new answers to old probiems--in fact a
student is usually graded on his/her ability to approaelr
the subject matter with this these criteria in mind.
The outside world demands that individuals pass
through the age-worn halls of higher learning as a proof
that they are capable of meeting responsibilities as
future leaders oj society.
But when students are subjected to standards that are
based on opposite premises (for no other reason than
that of a traditional nature) a cortflict does indeed present
itself. The LCC Administration hands down decisions.
that often have a profound effect on students' futures: The complete change of the welding program
. last fall, for instance, without consulting the students
who were enrolled in that program is a good example.

As you know, our airlines have been hard hit
by the shortage of jet fuel -- even though the h.merican Petroleum Institute reports we now have 28.9
million barrels of the stuff on hand, which is 14
per cent more than we had a year ago.
In the face of this shortage of jet fuel, which
we now have more of than before, our airlines have
patriotically done their part. They've knocked off
1500 money-losing daily flights, laid off 16,000 expensive employees, raised fares and eliminated all
.
kinds of economy tickets.
Hardest hit by the crisis has been Flybynite
airlines, which had been losing money for years.

Analysis shows
negative record
(CPS)--The Ji.meric;:ans for Democratic Action compiled an analysis
of newly confirmed Vice President
Gerald R. Ford's voting record
during his tenure in the House
of Representatives.
Exerpts of the voting analysis
follow:
Ford voted to cripple Voting
Rights hct of 1965; to nullify Title
VI of 1964 -Civil Rights Act as
applied to elementary and secondary education; to reject open
housing amendment to Civil Rights
Act of 1968; to gut the EEOC
bill; and for all anti-busing amendments.
He also voted against public
housing in 1949, '50, '52, '53,
'54, '55, '59 and '60.
Voting against establishing national food stamp program, against
the Economic Opportunity Act of
1964, against Medicare, against
funds for education, against providing unemployment compensation to farm workers, and to kill
re~t subsidy program 1965-66.
Ford voted to weaken Minim um
Wage bills in 1949, '60, '61, '72
and '73; to weaken Occupational
Health and Safety bills 1970 and
'72; and to deny food stamps to
strikers, 1973.

Senate ratifies -posts, debates budget
The ASLCC Senate ratified appointments to the positions of
Treasurer, Publicity Director, and Health Services Coordinator at its
first meeting this term. They are David Mahoney, Sallie Torres,
and John Loeber respectively, all appointed by Barry Hood, ASLCC
President, to fill vacancies that occurred at the end of Fall Term.
Mahoney and Loeber were quickly ratified after giving brief
summaries of their respective backgrounds and - qualifications, while
discussion over the appointment of Ms. Torres ensued. Some members
of the Senate questioned the ethics of her appointment, which came after
Hood retracted his earlier appointment of Craig Geary to that post.
After extensive debate on the matter, Ms. Torres volunteered, "Rather
than cause a division in the Senate, I'd like to withdraw my application.'' Hood accepted the withdrawal and asked for nominations from
the floor, but Ms. Torres was then placed in nomination and the Senate
voted her into the position.
Two new departmental senators, Linda Lewis, freshman, ParaMed/Para-Dental, and Virginia Switzer, freshman, Nursing were also
ratified.
Dei Smith's resignation from her position as Senator-at-Large
was rejected by the Senate at her request. (She explained that she had
submitted it last Fall when she thought she would be leaving LCC.)
This leaves one Senator-at-Large and 20 departmental senator positions open, according to ASLCC Secretary Connie Hood, who also pointed out that students may earn up to three SFE credits for participating in student government.
Jerry Edgmon, Student Awareness Center (SAC) coordinator,
said SA.C's budget had been fouled up by some apparently honest
mistakes by previous ASLCC treasurers, and that the bus token program was out of money until the books could be corrected. He asked
that $500.00 be channeled into the program on a temporary basis in
order to ensure continuity of the program. A consensus of the Senate
relagated this duty to the Treasurer.
But on Friday it was found that this proceedure wasn't possible,

Ford also voted against all attempts to limit or end US involvement in Indochina, including the
Cooper-Church amendment, 1970;
Nedzi-Whalen measure, 1971; the
Hamilton -Whalen measure, 1972;
and the h.ddabbo amendment. 1973.

On environmental issues Ford

Evelyn Tennis, an assistant in the Financial Aids Office, came
before the Senate to request money for the emergency loan fund : Ms.
Tennis said that the fund was for loans of a maximum of $50, and
students receiving such aid have a repayment record at least as good
as students receiving college tuition deferments. Norm Normile ,
departmental senator from Interdescipling Studies, directed a question
to LCC President Eldon Schafer who was attending the meeting:
Normile asked about the possibility of the administration matching
funds with any ASLCC donation. Dr. Schafer replied that it might be
a possibility if his bid to the State Legislature for more state funds
was successful.
Jay Jones, ASLCC student activities advisor, came out in favor
of the emergency loan program, saving "It's there, and it's working.,;

Financial assistance is still available , for students who were new to LCC last Fall Term and
who can meet the low income requirements, according to Francis Howard, s}irector of the financial
aids office. BOG (Basic Opportunity Grant) is
a cash award of $150 per term • to cover tuition
and books. The final deadli~ for application is
March 15 in order to be approved by February
1st, said Ms. IIoward. It takes approximately 30
days to process the applications, but students can
still be funded by BOG for Winter and Spring Terms
if they meet the requirements, she added.
Qualifications for the grant are reasonable, said
Dorothy Nutting of the financial aids office, who
processes the BOG grants. At thts time there are
no grade restrictions attached to the grant, but
students are expected to carry 12 credits each
•term. Students whose family (family of four) income ..does not exceed $11,000 are eligi}?le, she continued. This grant is not renewable and must be
reapplied for each term.
Ms. Howard said that tsUli was functect m late
August and didn't give her office, as agents for the
program, enough time to make applications avialable to many students who could have used it, so
the 122 million dollar education grant may not be
used this year.
The reason for the failure of students to apply
for the program according to Ms. Howard, is two
fold: First, it is a new program and very few students have had the opportunity to apply as they
are not aware of the existance and implication of
the program, and secondly, students who received
full financial aid packages from State Need Grants
and others, have had their needs met. If financial
aids officers had known about this grant program
earlier, they may have been able fo free some of
the money distributed in other programs, such as

I

the t>tat-e .Need Grants, to extend over-all coverage
to _more deser~ing students at LCC and oth?r instituhons, she said. Ms. Howard also emphasized that
if the grant is not used thi~ year, it could affect
funding for educational grants next year, since
funding is determined on the basis of need.

LCC hosts annual
college PR meet
Public relations and alumni officers from colleges throughout
the northwest will gather in Eugene late this month for the annual regional conference of the hmerican College Public Relations
Assn. (hCPRA) and the American
Alumni Council (aAC).
Host for the Jan. 29 - Feb. 1
conference and workshop is Lane
Community College, the first community college to host the annual
meeting. LCC was selected as the
site for this year's conference
at the 1973 ACPRA meeting in
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Conference
chairman is Larry Romine, director of information and publications
at LCC.
All activities will be at the
Valley River Inn in Eugene beginning with a legislative relations
workshop Jan. 29. The workshop
will feature panel and group discussions on the relationship between higher education and state
and federal governments plus a
keynote speech on the needs of
higher education by state senator
Wallace P. Carson, Jr. (R-Salem).
other legislators participating
as panelists in the workshop include Rep. Roger E. Martin (RLake Oswego) and Rep. Les AuCoin (D-Forest Grove).
The remainder of "J\.ppraisal
'74" 1 the title of the seminar,
will cover a variety of public relations and alumni topics-among
them a lengthy study of opinions
of northwest college presidents.
The study was compiled by University of Oregon professor Jack
Ewan and is a report by nearly
two-thirds of the northwest's 100
college presidents on the status
and effectiveness of public relations in their own institutions.
other conference highlights include addresses by national officers of A.CPRA and the AAC,
group discussions on problems
facing private colleges and universities, fund raising and develextensive
opment discussions,
study of the use of public and
private media, design of college
catalogs, and even the implications of the energy crisis for
college news bureaus.
Representatives of the two organizations will also discuss the
possible merger of A.CPRA and
AAC.

Roger Leasure 1st V.P.

Barry Hoo

by Wanda Banta •

"It's nice to get involved - to get the student government
back on its feet,' ' commented Dave Mahoney, the new ASLCC
treasurer.
He says he is interested in the political scene and applied
for his position because he knows a lot of student government
people. Mahoney was a senator in a California junior college
five years ago.
Becoming ASLCC treasurer in mid-year, Mahoney says
that he has a lot of back business to take care of. He is currently trying to bring the books up to date and reorganize the
files.
Mahoney feels that one of the priorities of his job is to
organize and direct the Finance Committee. He says that
it can be a strong committee but it needs to be formed.
(The committee consists of the treasurer as chairman, the
second vice president, and three members nominated by the
treasurer.) But, he feels that there should "possibly be two
people from the student body'' on the committee, because
"I think we need to get input from thP, student body."
Mahoney thinks that the biggest problem in student government is that "people get too emotional about it, w-ithout
getting the business done. It can be done without yelling and
screaming. People have to be able to wo_rk together and let
themselves become applicably involved, without becoming
emotionally involved."
Mahoney's main goals are: increasing communication, revising and increasing student services, and trying to help
the government become a functioning body. He also said
that one of the things the Senate has been talking about and
investigating is making LCC a corporation. Mahoney feels
that '' it would work out pretty good. If we were a corporation,
that movie deal for instance, would kick back the profits
into the student body funds - which would mean more funds
for the students. • Our budget isn't doing anything for us.
If we were incorporated, we could stick our budget in a savings and loan organization to draw interest."
Mahoney thinks that publicity is the lacking factor in the
outcome of student activities. He says, "there are activities in school where any student can get the1r five dollars
worth easily. For example, there are the health services
and legal aid. The new activities calendar has lots of things
planned, like the movies. They' re really cheap, but they need
more publicity.''
Mahoney says they also have more singers, performers,
and jams planned for the cafeteria which are free of charge.
He explained} that the committee has contracts and can get
almost anyone to come play at LCC.

Roger Leasure, ASLCC first vice president, listed free
student bus service and more and varied student services
as his primary Senate objectives for the remaining school
year.
More student events such as films and concerts, a continuing student legal service, improved student election participation, a larger profit for the Senate treasury, and a
more unified Senate body are concerns Leasure looks forward
to working on this year.
Leasure believes free bus service is possible for students
and that the administration should help pay for such a project.
Currently, bus tokens are purchased from the Lane Transit
System for 20 cents and sold to students for 15 cents.
Leasure explained that LCC presents unique transportation problems to students because the campus is located so
far from the downtown area. Offering free bus service would
encourage increased student enrollment which is a main concern of administrators, according to Leasure. For this reason,
he thinks the administration should help foot the bill.
Leasure also stated that the new attorney, Eric Haws,
has seen 132 students concerning their legal problems, for
which Haws receives $20 an hour from the Senate. Haws'
six-month contract is running out and will have to be renewed
soon , putting an additional financial burden on the Senate.
Leasure suggested several ways the Senate treasury could
be increased. The Senate is presently receiving the revenue
from three pool tables in the cafeteria, which amounts
to about $800 a month. Besides student body fees, food and
cigarette concessions and some monies from the book store
also bring in money. Concerts, films and other events are
planned with the hope that they will pay for themselves
and eventually bring additional profit to the Senate treasury
in order to provide more student services, according to
Leasure.
'' The students elected us (ASL CC Senate) to manage
their money and I intend to do everything I can to see that
is used to benefit them to the fullest in every possible way.
We're responsible for $ll0,000 which belongs to about 6,000
students and we are not making enough profit on that money
considering the amount of capital involved," Leasure said.
Leasure said he has recently talked to student leaders
in other junior colleges around the state about their student
election turnouts and has some ideas for improving student
election turn-outs at LCC in the future.
When asked his opinion of former .ASLCC President, David
Red Fox's recent attempt to p.rehibtt the Senate from impeaching him, Leasure said, "I think the coart has vindicated
the Senate. We won the case. The judge said we had just cause
to impeach Red Fox. I just wish the US Congress had the same
kind of courage our Senate has.''

"I think I'm more energetic and efficient than most previous Senate officials," says Dave Simmons, second vice
president of the ASLCC. "I spend between five and six
hours here every day involved with Senate duties."
According to Simmons, those duties are many and varied,
and they can often be unpredictable. For example, he is,
currently proposing that the Senate employ a certified public
accountant: "I'd like to see a good CPA examine our books
in order to determine how we could raise funds more efficiently,'' he said.
Because he is responsible for arranging student activities
and bringing these activities to public attention, Simmons
felt that speeches and dances are the most practical. '' I
would like to see these activities arranged,'' he said, " .b ecause they tend to involve everyone and make apparent the
Senate's willingness and ability to do so."
Simmons said the most recent activity is the weekly movie
program in which several top productions are shown in the
Forum Building on Thursdays.
He said his responsibilities include maintaining relations
with the Oregon Community College Student Association
(OCCSA), and closer following the Senate Treasurer's actions
· and duties because it is his post which Simmons may have to
adopt -in the event of that vacancy.
Regarding the disbursement of funds, Simmons feels that
both the bus token program and the Student Awareness Center
(SAC) need and deserve more funds from the Senate. '' And
I would like to see some definite guidelines established for
SAC," he added.
Simmons did not feel that the recent lawsuit by former
ASLCC President David Red Fox against the Senate impaired
his or any other Senate member's ability to govern effectively.
''If there has been any change at all,'' Simmons said, ''it
would be the difference in numbers. Before the lawsuit
there .were only 13 Senate members, now there are between
30 and 40 and we could use more."
Asked about student rights and the Senate's responsibility
to protect them, Simmons feels that, although he could not
cite particular instances in which it had done so, the Senate
could be instrumental in solving problems of this kind.
"I think discrepancies will exist in all institutions and they
probably exist here,'' he said.
According to Sim_mons, "We should be pretty well-organized
by mid-term."

Sallie Torres, Publicity Director, read of LCC's struggling
student government last year. Instead of sitting back and
crying about the problem, she told the TORCH, she began
asking questions - Why were things as they were? What
could be done about them?
"I decided to file for a position of student senator with
the hopes of getting some answers," said the 28 year old
Ms. Torres. "When the office of publicity director opened
up I applied for it because of the extensive background I
have had in the field," she added.
Explaining how her background will effect students, she
said, "Well for one thing I plan to make announcements
of special events on the days they take place." She als9
plans to create a weekly events calendar and a term calend:¼'r
to complement the monthly one already published.
The public address system will be used to announce s~ial
events. "We have a problem here at Lane because w are
a commuter school: Students can't hang around to fi d out
what's happening so I plan to tell them," she stated.
Ms. Torres would also like to see more commtµ'lication
between the student government and the Senate. She said,
"School is a_ training ground for students just 3/S it i_s for
the Senate. ii..s we improve, so will the govemn ent. If you
think we are doing something wrong, don't j t sit in the
cafeteria and talk about it, put a letter in our m I boxes. Tell
us." The Senate offices are in the Center uilding on the
second floor.
Ms. Torres would like to see the formation of a publicity
committee to help her inform the students. She envisions
students in such fields as art and journalism volunteering
their time to help on a six member committee. "I am also
here as a resource,'' she said. "lf anyone needs any help
in the field of publicity they shOllld be able to ask me and I
should be able to tell them Jf some people who would be
willing to help." Ms. TorreS/Would also like to see the numerous campus clubs submit information regarding special events
calendar. Ms. Torres said, "We are printing the thing anyway, so why not have club announcements to help them (the
clubs) save money?"
'' There are a lot of new faces in the Senate and we are
not part of a pre-established clique. I hope that will help.
students talk to us to help us improve student government.''
• Ms. Torres graduated from The Dalles High School in 1963.
Marriage and her husband's work took her to Southern California.
She began work with an advertising agency in Costa Mesa.
"I was involved with client relations, writing and editing,"
she said. She also worked with ads for the agency.
From there she worked for a large aero Space firm.
"I did security clearances for public information and worked
on the company news letter as an editor,'' she said.
Torres also cited work with the Oregon Research Institute
and Bell telephone as good background for the publicity job.

The Women's basketball season got under way last week with
a pair of non-league losses to local high school teams.
Wednesday the women met the girls from Sheldon High School
of Eugene. Lane displayed a bad case .of first game jitters as they
lost 29-21.
Inexperience, both as a team and as individuals, showed in the
raggedness of play at times during the contest. The Lane team turned
the ball over 58 times while shooting an icy .18 percentage from the
field. While the offense was having its troubles, the defense was keeping the women in the game by forcing Sheldon into 30 turnovers and

Trackmen shatter standard s
in Seattle indoor ·invitation al
By Steve Buslty

Under the backboard is no place for the timid
as Robbie Smith decks a Judson Baptist opponet
during the ~cramble for a rebound. Smith collected

a foul for his trouble in a game the Titans captured 72-65.
(Photos by Ma~k Rahm)

Lane stays even in leagu e
Lane Comm unity College went
into the weekend knowing that they
needed at least a split to remain
alive in the conference race. They
achieved that result defeating Judson Baptist Friday night 72-65 in
a game delayed by weather conditions before losing to the Powerful Southwestern Oregon Community College Lakers 79~63 Saturday night.
"We made it a lot tougher than
it should have been. We were very
r agged in handling the ball and our
defense was lackadaisical." Hardly what you would expect from the
coach of a winning team,. but ·Lane
Coach Dale Bates was far ·from
satisfied with Friday night's win
Lane, ahead by two at the half
(36 to 34) didn't ever pull away
from the scrappers from Judson
Baptist. One of the reasons for
this inability to put a game away
is the continuing rash of turnovers that have plagued the Titans. That, coupled with top scorer
and rebounder Rob Smith getting
into foul trouble early in the second half, forced Lane out of its
accustomed offensive patterns.
Smith finished the game with
13 points and 11 rebounds despite
playing the last 13 minutes of the
game with four fouls. The bulk
of the scoring load was carried

by Wayne Shelton, a sophomore
guard from Philomath, who tallied
21 points.
While few parts of the game
brought a smile to Bates, he did
find room to praise the play of
Mike Reinhart. Reinhart, freshman
forward from Grants Pass, picked
off nine rebounds and turned in
a consistent defensive effort.
This game marked the first
appearance for reserve Bruce
Jones, a 6'2" freshman from Lebanon. While Jones didn't play much
he displayed good leaping ability
and moves, winding up with 7
points. The addition of Jones will
help the manpower shortage that
has been troubling Bates since the
holiday break when Rodney Cross
and Ron Scrivner, a starter and
top sub, respectively, quit the team
to return home to Indianapolis.
Turnovers and shooting, the twin
problems that have been haunting
the Titans throughtout the season,
combined in one two minute span
Saturday night to send the Titans
down to defeat at the hands of
Southwestern Oregon 79-63.
With 8:24 left in the game the
Titans were trailing the undefeated
Lake rs 59-54, scrapping and fighting to stay with the Lakers.Someone put a lid on the Titans basket
for the next two minutes however,

and by the time the Titans had found
their sheoting eyes again the Lakers had jumped ahead by ten and
were in control of the game.
Center Charlie McClure of
SWOCC, second in the league in
rebounds, showed that he can score
as well, pumping in 18 points
on nine field goals. He maintained
his reputation by gathering in 12
missed shots.
Rob Smith, Lane's 6'5'' center,
continued to pace the Titans in
scoring as he accounted for 17
but was held to just 7 rebounds,
five below his average.
Reserve Bruce Jones,appearing
for only the second time in a
Lane unifor-m came off the bench
to score 14 points on a hot 7-9
from the field. He was joined
in double figures by Mike Reinhart and Davy Ohmer, each adding
12 counters.
The win moved SWOCC to 12-0
on the season and 4-0 in conference
action while dropping the Titans
to 6-7 on the year and 2-2 in
league play.
Next weekend the Titans go on
the road against Central Oregon
CC in Bend Friday night and then
travel to Roseburg to meet Umpqua

here in the U.S."

to ''organize the support needed by Third World
struggles," to "orient and prepare Third World
students. . . to serve their people," and to help
them '' continue their work with progressive organiza
tions in the U.S. and promote the unity of our
struggle against imperialism with all its aspects:
racism, exploitation and oppression."

LCC is proceding according to Harms' opinion rather than Linklater's
opinion. Neither of these opinions have yet been tested in a court of law.
According to the Institutional Bill of Rights, Section 25, a student is
guaranteed access to his records and files," subject only to reasonable college
regulations as to time, place, and supervision." Carter and Marshall both
agreed that a student who has had his grades withheld may look at them in
the Student Records Office during office hours--only possession is denied.
Carter estimated that LCC lost $30,000 last year because of student debts:
The system of withholding grades and/or registration packets was ''designed
to prevent students from getting further and further into the hole during
each successive term." He added that "it is the obligation of the college to
help the student look ~ealistically at gebts and bills."
"LCC actively pursues the repayment of debts through a collection agency
and other legal means when the student is no longer enrolled at LCC,"
according to Whittaker. '' That is an obligation owed the taxpayers of the
county,'' he added.
