AS~ housing draws fire

00 PffiG ( Oregon Student Public
Interest Research Group) has issued a report charging Adult Student Housing (ASH) Inc. with mismanagement of funds and improperlv raising rents, based on the
conclusions of a federal audit by
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
ASH, a non-profit organization
based in Portland, operates ASHLane housing for LCC students in
Eugene and five other campus apartment buildings in Oregon.
The audit was ordered by HUD
last year after OOPIRG charged
that ASH had improperly raised
rents on its rental units at Pacific University.
The HUD investigation (published by Charles J. Hay, regional inspector general for Audit, Region
X, Seattle) showed that "Operating revenues from the subject
projects were used for other than
the operations and maintenance
of the projects and the amounts
paid for certain goods and services exceeded generally acceptable amounts."
The HUD audit found that Fred
Bender and Phillip McLennan, the
two principal officers of ASH, purchased two'' luxury'' cars for company use. The autos were paid
for from rental revenues, and the
purchases were criticized as "excessive" in the report.
The· HUD audit also criticized
ASH for paying high office rent
to a firm called AUXENT, a partnership of the two principals (Bender and McLennan). Rent payments
exceeded $1,300 a m on th and
AUXENT had a $3,000 profit from
the office rental before depreciation, based on its 1972 tax return.
The audit noted that the sal-

•

Ashlane

aries exceeded 10 per cent of the
rent paid by students at the ASH
projects. The usual fees for managing rental property are from six
to ten per cent, according to the
00 PRIG report. A. Portland HUD
representative , the report said,
confirmed that salaries received
by Bender and McLennan were
$50,000 to $55,000 a year.
The HUD audit covered only the·
ASH housing at Pacific Universtiy,
Mt. Hood College, and Clatsop
Community College, and the salaries are only for the management of these units. It is not known
how much the two are charging to
manage other ASH units in Oregon.
ASH was formed in 1969 to

provide a college housing project
at Pacific University. All of the
projects owned by ASH were financed from College Housing Program funds without any cash investment from the prinripals, the
firm, or the educational institutions serviced by the projects.
The OOPffiG report concludes
that '' tenants should petition their
congressmen to make HUD remove Bender and McLennan from
management of ASH housing, and
lower rents.'' OOPffiG sent a letter last week to Oregon senators
and congressmen asking their help
in "persuading HUD to take effective action against Bender and
McLennan for the benefit of students living at ASH housing."

Student questions P.E.Dept.
on ski class refund policy
"All I want is $60 refunded,'· said LCC student Sandi Shaw.
Ms. Shaw recently withdrew from the ski class offered by the
LCC PE Department this term, after one class session, and discovered
that her fees were not refundable.
"The information sheet the PE Department hands out," stated
Ms. Shaw, "led me to believe that only $15 of the total $75 fee was
non-refundable.'
The paragraph in the ski class syllabus on fees reads, "A nonrefundable $15 fee must be paid at the time of registration. The balance of the $75 must be. paid by Jan. 3 to the Business Office. Please
keep a receipt and show it at the bus the first day of class.''
Richard Newell, PE Department chairman said, '' I agree , it
could've been written more clearly. But the intent is there." Newell
pointed out the school policy on fee refunds as stipulated in the schedule of classes - "Student Body fees are non-refundable. Fees for
curricular offerings will not be refunded unless approved by the
appropriate department chairman.'·
Newell said the money could not be refunded because commitments had to be made to reserve transportation and instruction.
"If we were to refund the money, either the school or the people
who remain in the class would have to shoulder the extra cost," he
explained.
Ms. Shaw said she has filed an appeal to be brought before the
LCC Academic Council, which is scheduled to m~et Feb. 4.

Senate asked to aid loan fund
The Financial Aids office has
requested $5000 from the ASLCC
Senate for the Student Emergency
Loan Fund, which offers sho1 tterm loans of $50 to LCC students.
The request was submitted to
the Senate by Evelyn Tennis of
the Financial Aids office at its
Jan. 10 meeting, where it was referred to the Finance Committee.
At this time no further action has
• been taken on the matter.

..

The Emergency Loan Fund was
funded by the ASLCC Senate in
1970, for $500. In 1971, the Senate appropriated $1,500 to the fund

Transportation improvement sought
Jerry Edgmon, LCC Student Awareness Center (SAC) director,
stated last week that LCC should be more actively involved in helping
students with their transportation problems.
"I know the college has a 20 passenger bus and I'd like to see
it put to use helping students get to school,'' he explained.
Edgmon said that originally he tried to persuade the Administration to use the bus on shuttle runs up and down the 30th Ave. hill to
help students hitchhiking or riding bicycles out to Lane.
He later revised his proposal to recommend that the bus be used
to help students living in outlying areas not served by the Lane Transit
District (LTD).
"I'd like to see the bus make two round trips a day out to Blue
River. I know of at least 27 students that live out there that aren't
served by LTD,' ' he said.
In light of Edgmon's proposal, LCC President Eldon Schafer
was asked by the TORCH if the college felt any responsibility for
insuring that students are able to get to school.
"Not in particular,'' he replied, explaining, "The basic concept
in Oregon is that community colleges are commuter schools: This
concept is pretty true nation-wide, too."
He pointed out that unlike four-year resident colleges, community
colleges are prevented by state law from using any funds for student
residence housing.
"Without residence facilities we are pretty much stuck with a
commuter situation,'' he admitted.
Dr. Schafer also ruled out a college operated bus service. '' Because high school attendence is pretty much compulsory, high schools
are obligated to see that students have a way to get to school,' he

illustrates.

and in 1972, the amount was raised
to $2,500. • This year, the Senate
did not appropriate any monies to
the fund.
The short-term loans are available to any student attending LCC,
said Ms. Tennis, but the full amount of the loan (no more than
$50) must be repaid before the
student can request another loan
or receive any grant for a new
school term. The fund was originally intended to be self-perpetuating, but some students leave
school before repaying their loans.
which has been one criticism of
the Fund by the Administration,
she admitted.
In answer to the criticism, Ms.
Tennis said she has researched
the ledgers in the Business Office and found that the mergency
loan '' repayment record is at least
as good as the student tuition
deferment record. The majority
_' of the students who borrow do
repay the loans."
Ms. Tennis has also requested
funding from the LCC Administration but President Eldon Schafer
has said that he can offer no additional help from the school budget at this time.
Because the fund is fluid, and
does not retain the same balance
from day to day Ms. Tennis said
she could not tell the Senate what
the balance is now, but only that
it is not enough to cover the student emergency needs. Besides
the repayment factor, Ms. Tennis
listed the increase in enrollment
over the past school year as an
additional reason for increased emergencies. She also said that the
cost of living has gone up but
student grants remain the same as
last year.
Ms. Tennis asked that the Senate give "as many dollars as
possible" if they cannot appropriate the full $5000 needed.

Leadership on a college campus comes
in many shapes and forms. Each individual group must be represented if a fair
check and balance system is to be maintained.
The aSLCC Senate is the recognized
group of student leaders - these students
are elected on an annual basis by the student body. However, the burden of proof
still rests on these individuals to establish
their leadership capabilities. Positive action and a high regard for the student
body's needs is not too much to ask from .
these student leaders.
In the past the student body has seen
a great fluctuation of capabilities between
the different groups that have occupied the
Senate offices. Some of this was caused
by incompetent elected students who couldn't
get any further than their over-inflated egos
would allow. But on the other hand, the
student body has also gained through talented, competent leaders who helped create
student health services and the ·recently
established student legal services.
At the ·expense of sounding idealistic true - -leadership is demonstrated by far
sighted actions of the l atter r ather than
short-sighted concepts demonstrated by
some of the past administrations.
The past flap among the ASLCC Senate,
as a result of the Red Fox ouster can
be turned into a very positive and rewarding situation for all concerned. The new
executive cabinet which has emerged is now
in a position to supply a more positive
trend in leadership. Now is the time to
remove doubts, or at least establish their
ability to supply leadership. Past actions
should never be held against an organization but rather should serve as harsh reminders of what can happen when elected
student leaders lose sight of the respon- •
sibilities their positions demand.
In view of the past discrepancies concerning the college Administration's apparent neglect in informing the student body
of policies (see last week's TORCH), a
serious question is now raised concerning
whether the Administration is violating
the school's Institutional Bill of Rights.
The ASLCC would benefit the whole student body if they were to bring official
charges against the Administration through
the Academic Council in an attempt to
clarify this question and possiblv insure that
students rights are protected.I • •
The aSLCC could also comply with their
own Bill of Rights. They should establish
the required judicial council to hear student grjevances, no matter what the sub-

Attention _
Wilbur Mills:
'Next Year'
is Here!

by Jack· Anderson 1

WASHINGTON-The powerful House Ways
and Means chairman, Wilbur Mills, has
been promising tax reforms for two years.
In 1972 and again in 1973, he promised
to make this his first priority - next
year .
Two next years have now come and
gone without any noticeable improvement
in the tax laws. On the contrary, each
Christmas during the scramble to adjourn,
new tax benefits have been hung on the
Christmas tree for the special interests.
Each new benefit has cost the rest of the
taxpayers a few more million dollars.
But now the taxpayers are up in arms.
They have discovered that President Nixon
paid no; more taxes on a $250,000 annual
income than an ordinary worker with the

ject. This would not only serve to insure ·
that student rights will be upheld, but
also that student government is responsive to their needs. One word of caution
though - this committee should be separated from the main body of student
government in order to provide an additional check and balance that is necessary
to maintain credibility.
One other area that is almost nonexistent on this campus is student representation on committees that make or change
in policy, curriculum, personnel, or any
other area that will affect the student body.
Students should have a voice on every
issue that has the potentfa'f to alter the
quality of the education at this institution.
It might be wise to select student members
for these committees outside the main body
of the ASLCC Senate, thus leaving more
time to the Senators to deal with the college
Administration on matters that would assure students a more equitable voice on
campus regarding their educational destiny.
The ASLCC, in the past, has overlooked

the struggles of faculty in fighting Administrative demands for more "productivity." In essence, the Administration has
been-pushing the faculty to undertake larger
student-teacher ratios, thus enlarging the
size of each class. Not only is there a
danger of the quality of education dropping,
but also the now enjoyed rapport between
instructor and student will suffer.
The age old problem between Administration and faculty is never ending. However, without the support of the student
body and student leaders the quality of
education at this institution will continually
suffer in the name of efficiency. Let's
face it, the quality of education is the
crux of what being a student is all about.
If student rights are to prevail on this
campus, then a total leadership representation must come forth. This is not an
impossibility, but rather presents an interesting moment of truth: Are student leaders going to conduct business as usual,
or respond to the new challenges how confronting them?

Save Your Energy-Sleep Late
by Art Hoppe

Our leaders' drastic steps to save our
energy, such as imposing Daylight Savings
Time, have caused grumbling. Parents,
for example, are grumbling about packing
.their kids off to school in the dark.
Consequently, many schools are now
starting classes an hour later, which isn't
getting us anywhere. It has also infuriated
our leaders.
Congressman Bagley Boodle, for one, is
drawing up a bill to set our clocks ahead
still another hour . This will show our
schools a thing or two. "If getting up an
hour before sunrise saves energy," says
Boodle logically, " getting up two hours
before sunrise will save twice as much."
Unfortunately, the benefits of the Boodle
Bill would be nullified by a White House
plan to cut every hour down to 30 minutes.
This, of course, would halve the hourly
fuel consumption of Air Force One and the
President would no longer have to fly commercial.
On the other hand, the White House plan
for shorter hours, while it has the backing
of organized l abor, would double the kilowatt hours of electricity th~ nation uses.
Consequently, S~nator Burton -Bagatelle has
introduced a companion measure increasing
every minute to 120 seconds. "This will
not only halve the number of shorter hours
during which people are wasting energy,'
he says, "but it will give millions of
American joggers the opportunity to run a
four-minute mile."
But perhaps the most imaginative proposal is that of our new Energy Csarina,
Madeline Mift. She notes that we are now
consuming 18 million barrels of oil a dayor 2. 7 million barrels more than our supply.
"By the simple expedient of eliminating
100 days a year,' · she says, "we will save
1800 million barrels, giving us an annual
surplus of 624.5 million barrels which we
can sell back to the Arabs."
Ms. Mift would begin by eliminating all
52 Sundays as the only effective way of
banning Sunday driving. Workers would be
given Saturdays and Mondays off so they
could enjoy a long, 48 -hour weekend .
The other 48 days would be taken from
the winter months to conserve on heating
fuel. They would include the two hectic,
energy-consuming weeks before Christmas,
New Year's Eve and the 33 coldest ctays
in January and February, whatever they
might be each year.
Summers, when no one much minds Daylight Savings Time, would, of course, be

may cut budge t
"We may not know until the beginning
of Spring Term if we will have enough
money to run all of the classes we will
be offering,'' observed Henry Douda, LCC
instructional budget officer.
Douda said the problem LCC faces is
that enrollment is higher than previously
anticipated. According to Douda, all community colleges in Oregon are awarded
money by the state on the basis of Full
Time Equivilancy (FTE) students. ''Generally speaking, FTE is a yardstick iided
by the state to determine the number of
full time class hours taught per term.
Forty-five credit hours of transfer work
or 680 hours of vocational work per year
equals one FTE student,' Douda said.
Douda explained that the state legislature only meets every odd year, during
which time they compute school budgets~
''When the legislature met last year, LCC
had hit a flat spot in attendance: When you
hit a flat spot in the same year the legislature meets, it really hurts because it
affects the projected enrollment for the next
two years,' ' Douda said. He said the state
predicted LCC would have about 5,900 FTE
students for this school year but that all
signs now point to a total of 6,700 FTE
studen~s by the end of Spring Term.
Douda said the state awards ·$595 per
FTE student and since LCC is about 800
FTE students higher than expected, this
amounts to $476,00 0 in reimbursements
the college has not received.
"We are going to the special session
of the legislature to see if they will reimburse us for the over-enrollmen t," Douda
said. "The administrators are optimistic
that we will get some funding - probably
not the whole parcel, but whatever the
state can allot to us,' he commented.
LCC President Eldon Schafer said that
Feb. 11 is now the tentative date for the
opening of the special session.

Coordinator explains Health S
John Loeber is the coordinator of the LCC
Student Health Service, a service that believes in
dealing with the immediate medical needs of the
students.
According to Loeber, the service has enjoyed
a great deal of national prominence, but he feels
that the area of service lies on the LCC campus,
providing "quality helath care for short-term
illnesses and injuries' that might otherwise cause
a student to miss days or weeks of class because
of lack of money for a doctor.

and two full-time nurses, plus volunteers and nursing students.

When asked how LCC's clinic compares with
those of other Oregon community colleges, Loeber
emphasized that such a comparison was difficult
and unfeasible. LCC is second in student population out of 13 schools. He said the largest,
Portland Community College, has mor.e students,
community services, and money to work with.
The third largest, Mount Hood, has smaller services to deal with its fewer students. But Loeber
added his opinion that LCC's clinic is more effective than some in dealing with its own problems.
When asked about nationwide comparisons, he
said 34 junior and community colleges in 21 states
had written requesting information on the LCC
clinic and its services. According to statistics
of a college health service board, the LCC clinic
holds its own on its level with UCLA and Berkeley
services.
According to Loeber, " . . . we don't approach
things as being problems, just concerns." One
of their larger concerns is money. Loeber would

Presently, half of its funds come from the general
fund, and half from student fees.. Out of five dollars
paid as fees by each student, $1.41 goes into the
clinic. Loeber said that he'd like to know what
the Student Senate •does with the other $3.59.

Health Services ask $44,000 increase

by Robin Burns

The LCC student Health Service is considering
a $113,788 budget (over their current $70,000), a
staff reorganization, and an expansion of several
medical services for the 1974-75 school year.
In a preliminary presentation to the Student
Health Service Clinic Committee last Friday,
student Health Coordinator John Loeber explained
the proposals and emphasized that "this budget
is not a formal request, it has been devised
by the Health Services staff to reflect what we
would consider quality health care in the realm
of primary health care."
The proposed budget is broken down into the
following categories:
• $78,591 for salaries (an increase of $31,251
over this year)
• $11,187 for fringe benefits for part-time
employees (fringe benefits have not been included
in previous budgets)
• $9,010 for health clinic materials and sup-

LCC.

plies (an increase of $410)
• $2,500 for family planning clinic materials
and supplies (maintained at the present level)
• $10,000 for dental services (an increase of
$7,200 over this year)
• $1,000 for prescriptions (an increase of $700)
• $1,500 for capital outlay (maintained at the
present level).
The increase in the amount budgeted for salaries is a result of the creation of four new
positions and an attempt to conform hourly wages
with the current pay scales in the Eugene medical
community, according to Loeber. The proposed new
positions include a health services director, a
nurse/counselor, a part-time secretary, and an
administrative assistant. The salaries and new
position will also facilitate an evening health
service program.
Loeber's justification for necessary medical
staff and working hours is based on the numbe·r
of patients seen each year and the average amount
of time spent with each patient by each medical
person.
LCC recognizes a fringe benefit level of about
18 per cent of an employee's salary for those who
are employed full-time basis. The salaries of the
half-time medical staff at the clinic are paid
by the aSLCC rather than the administration,
and Loeber feels that fringe benefits for these
people are justifiable because they contribute many
hours to the clinic over and above the hours
for which they are paid. "You can't expect to
maintain a competent, qualified staff without providing .them with reasonable salaries and compensation," he stated.
The proposed salaries will also be variable
due to secretarial and professional level changes,
and to collective bargaining options open to nurses
through the Oregon Nursing Association.
The increase in the amount budgeted for materials and supplies is due to a proposed program
of health education, an extension of the clinic's
orientation toward preventive health care, said
Loeber.
The family planning clinic, which was new to
Lane Fall Term, is to be maintained at the presen~
level.
Dental services are now available through the
clinic for emergency cases and are presently
funded at $2,800. Loeber is proposing an allocation of $10,000 for developing an expanded program of dental care for LCC students, but the
program has not been outlined nor have the op-

erational possibilities been researched at this
time.
A prescription loan fund is currently operating
on a $33 budget, the purpose of which is to allow
students to p u r c ha s e necessary prescriptions
even though they are temporarily out of funds.
The proposed $1,000 allocation would expand this
program to make prescriptions available on campus
at cost, through retaining a pharmacist to package
standing orders.
The capital outlay figure ($1,500) remains the .
same in order to improve the . laboratory efficiency, according to Loeber. The clinic lab is
presently using a microscope, on loan from an
LCC science instructor, which is not well suited
to medical use. The clinic is hoping to purchase
a microscope for about $800. It also hopes to purchase an incubator, which will enable them to
conduct their own bacteriological pro~edures.
Cultures are now mailed to labs in the community and take at least a day to reach their
destinations. Therefore, the results are not as
accurate as they could be if done on campus,
according to Loeber.
The clinic is currently negotiating with the administration for a permanent space. "It's like the
old question of which came first - the chicken
or the egg," stated Loeber. "We can't get permanent space until we can give the administration
a strong committment that the clinic will be able
to continue financially, but a large budget like
this will be inoper,ative if we can't get the perm'
anent space.'
This year the clinic was funded at approximately $36,000 by the administration and $31,150
by the ASLCC - a total of about $70,000. The
proposed 1974-75 budget would require additional
funding of about $44,000.
Two possible methods of obtaining the additional funds, according to Loeber, are the assessment of a $4,00 health fee _p er student per ter~,
or an assessment of approximately 46 cents
per credit hour per student per term. This year
$1.41 out of the $5.00 student 'body fee paid by
each full-time student goes to student health
services.
The proposed budget is still open for revision by the Student Health Service Clinic Com- •
mittee, after which it will be reviewed by the
administration, the Board of Education, the ASL CC
Senate , and then go to a student vote sometime
this spring.

This week the Titans will be
trying to regroup after a dissappointing week that saw them drop
three straight to Central Oregon
CC 87-85 to Umpqua CC by 70
to 48, and at home against LinnBenton 78-68.
Tuesday night the Titans raced
to a 17 point half time lead against
Central Oregon behind the scoring
of Wayne Shelton, who scored 14
first half points, and Rob Smith,
who chipped in with 10. From then
on it was all downhill.
Coach Dale Bates assigned some
of the blame for the loss on a
second half breakdown in defense
and a loss of concentration on
offense. "We just got sloppy in

Team

leader

The blame for Lane's sagging basketball hopes cannot be accepted by any one person. In the midst of a horrendous 2-5 league
start it is natural to seek a place to dump the blame for defeat. But
as the game is played at two ends of the court there are ~o ways to
look at the win-loss record. The Titans have not only los_t five_lea~e
games this year, they have won also. a key element m their wms
has been Wayne Shelton.
.
.
The multi-talented Shelton is not leading the team m scormg, for
that matter be is not even second in scoring. He does howev~r, add
an inspirational style of play and leadership to the game which can
ignite a team's play. His quick drives to the bucket and the dart• g diving style of play he displays on both offense and defense
~dds an element of hustle lacking in many of the Titan games this
"Th
h
year.
. S
"( drive better than anything else," admits helton.
e coac
expects me to take charge and lead the players," he added. It is
this degree of team leadership that can turn Lane's basketball ?opes
around. Many times this year the Titans have had huge leads m the
first half only to see them melt away in a lackluster second half.
.
Shelton could put an end to this type of choke.
Shelton came to Lane via Oregon State, where he was lure? with
a baseball scholarship. Baseball is his big sport. He was a pitcher
at Philomath High School, but plans to play in the outfield at Lane
and Oregon next year.
Shelton's style of play fits in well with Coach Dale ~ates style
of coaching. The Titans play disciplined offense but will not pa_ss
up the chance for a fast break bucket if it ~s presented. ~helton said,
"The coach believes in discipline but tries to gear his o!fense to
fit the players. He puts a player in a position where he will do the
most good."

said.
He added '' There isn't that com pulsion at' Lane, so it's really
up to the student to find his own
means of transportation. Besides,
the investment required to set
u p a bus service would be tremendous."
However, the President did emphasize that the college is interested in helping with transportation problems, short of assuming
the primary responsibility. _
"It really is within our,,. best
interests to support and encourage
mass transit. Supporting the Lane
Transit District (LTD) system is
a better solution than trying to
duplicate it with our own bus service,'' he stated.

IBas

Dr. Schafer also offered two
other suggestions that might help
students with their transportation
problems. "Frankly, we haven't
had time to look into it yet, but
we could consider squeezing students' class schedules so that they
would make fewer trips out to the
campus per week,'' he suggested.
He also suggested that the college's evening progr4m co~ld be
expanded so that more classes
could be offered in .l ocal areas
away from the campus; t?us reducing the need for evenmg s~udents in outlying areas to drive
-all the way into the campus.
In addition, th~ Presid~nt suggested that a ride-sharmg ~~ogram recently started at Lmn-

might be useful at Lane.
Each LBCC student wishing to
participate in the program fills out
a computer card which lists his/
her class schedule and address.
These students are then matched
by the computer with other students with similar schedules living close enough to each other to
share rides.
Edgmon explained that he was
familiar with the LBCC program
and is planning on trying to revive the ride co-op idea again.
"I've already sent a memo to

Tentative workshop
scheduled by Senate
A Senate workshop at Heceta, appropriations to the Student
Awareness Center (SAC), and elections of two Senators-at-Large were
still on the agenda as the Senate continued- Thursday's meeting January 15.
The Senate workshop to be held at the LCC leased Heceta House
on the Oregon coast was tentatively scheduled for the third weekend
in February. The workshop is designed· to improve the working relationships within the Senate and to review the ASLCC by-laws.
Barry Hood said that he hopes to bring the cost of the trip down
to a minimum by pooling the funds of individual Senators for food.
The Senate also discussed financing child care for the children of
Senate members noting that $55.00 would cover the cost of child care.
The Senate has rrot yet decided whether the families of the members
will be allowed to attend, although the polky for Heceta states that
'the occupants' families and pets should not accompany them." The
topic of child care was tabled for further study.
The Senate also voted to reconsider the transfer of additional
funds to the SAC budget for bus tokens. Dave Mahoney, ASLCC treasurer, moved that funds necessary for the survival of SAC including
the bus token program (about $1:000), be transferred into the SAC
budget from the contingency fund in the ASLCC budget.
Hugh Brennan was elected to the position of Senator-at-Large
(which allows paid tuition). He stated that more emphasis should be
placed upon the fact that the Senate is funded through a $5 manditory
fee from every LCC student, and that all money expenditures should
•
reflect the students' needs.
Brian Weller was appointed as the sophomore Senator from the
Social Science Department. There are 19 departmental positions
still open in the Senate.
The Senate will hold its next regularly scheduled meeting Thursday, January 24, at 3:00 in the Board Room.

lengthened from 13 to 30 weeks.
To accomplish this, as well as
to curtail summer pl~asure driving, Ms. Mift suggests following
Britain's example and going to
a three-day week.
''It's true that by eliminating
Saturdays and Mondays, too, worker.s would never get a day off
to pleasure drive" she says. "But
they would only be working a
three-day week which has long been
the dream of workers everywhere."
Ms. Mift's bold and daring plan
shows to what ends our leaders
can go when they begin tinkering with time in order to save
our energy.
True, there will still be grumblers - probably the same ones
who now say they can't see the
sense of getting up in the coid,
pre-dawn darkness to turn on the
lights and heat in order to save
energy.
"When it comes to saving energy,' grumbled one grumbler,

"there are days when I think our
leaders should've stayed in bed."
(C. Chronicle Pub. Co. 1974)
