Ever since, we have scrupulously shared the fruits of our triumph with our Vietnamese allies: we got the peace and they got the honor of fighting on alone. Having spent ten years, $100 billion and 50,000 American lives defending the sacred soil of South Vietnam, it was somewhat surprising that we failed to leap into last week's war between Saigon and China over the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. "We have no interest in the islands," was all a State Department spokesman would say before The oil squeeze has WASHINGTON caused world oil prices to skyrocket. The increase will add an estimated $75 billion to the price that oil-consuming countries must pay for their economic lifeblood. This is s~mply more than most nations can afford without inviting economic disaster. World leaders have been communicating secretly over how to cope with the oil crimi~ ""'- ~= sis. The United States has taken the lead in urging the oil consumers to join together in planning a common strategy. Most nations have been reluctant to challenge the firabs openly for fear of losing their oil supply. A few nations, such as Britain and France, have sought to make their own private deals with the Arab oil producers. But secretly, many world leaders are saying that prices must be rolled back. Some are ready to use force, if necessary, to prevent an oil depression. Apparently, the message is getting through to the Arab leaders. Intelligence reports, claim the Arab leaders are prepared to ease prices. Even the Russians, who originally enli;J couraged the Arab price squeeze, are growing 11 SU~ fflE VIEW FROM SkYL.A8 \S SPECT'ACULA'R, ....

The following Forum was written by Barry Hood, ASLCC President.) At the present time the population of the ASLCC Senate is 35. at the beginning of Fall Term 1973, we had 13 members. I am pleased to be a member of the largest and most representative student body in the history of LCC. With our membership almost tripled, we're able ta take care _of a hell of a lot more business than with a membership of _13. With 13 members, students were not being represented to the capacity that we now are. There has been talk about doing away with 23 present Senate members to bring the ASLCC down to a potential of 12 members. My answer to this is that it would create a totally unrepresentative form of association. The philosophy behind our representative system revolves around the central idea of . a direGt democracy. Each department at LCC (there are 20) has a potential of two Senate seats (one freshman, one sophomore). These department Senators are charged with the responsibility of representing students in his department. In addition there are fiveSenatorat-Large positions and five members of the Executive Cabinet. Individuals for these positions are voted on in ASLCC Fall and Spring elections as well as in-Senate elections for incidental filling of positions. If we are to better represent you m che area of students' rights, as well as provide necessary student services :such as studentsubsidized bus program, Student Legal Services, Student Health Services, Evening Program Advisory Committee, films~ and campus activities, we need your input and help. Together let us seek to solve students' problems. Together let us stand up for students' rights. Barry Hood ASLCC President crawling back under his desk, "or in defending anybody's particular claim to them." Is this any way for the world's mightiest nation to talk ? Thank God there still breathe patriots like Senator Waverly Flagg. In a stirring address to a throng of 27 fellow patriots, Senator Flagg demanded we immediately send half a million troops to the Paracels "to show them bloody aggressors they can't trample all over that there sacred soil." True, the Paracels are a chain of barren, uninhabited rocks covered with bird droppings, which visiting entrepreneurs occasionally scoop up to sell as fertilizer. But as Senator Flagg pointed out, "That there sacred soil ain't only sacred, it's worth better'n $12 a ton.' ' Moreover, the Senator said, he'd seen a picture of the Par acels in the National Geographic. " If'n there's one thing I can tell right off, it's a bastion of democra.cy,' he said. "And there must be a dozen or more of them bastions out there." Nor was there any doubt The Domino Theory -applied. " Why, the name of the biggest of them islands is 'Robert,' ' ' he said. "And let me tell you here now, as Robert goes, so goes every Tom, Dick and Harry. If'n we don't stop 'em on Robert, we'll be fighting 'em on the shores of Pismo Beach. Remember Munich!" ' Senator Flagg •called on every American to "honor our sacred commitments" to the audubon Society, '' All we ask is freedom of choice for our fine feathered friends over there," he said simply, "a chance to live in peace on their own beloved soil." Militarily, he said, he could already see the light at the end of the bird droppings. "If'n we hit them there enemies with everything we got," he solemnly pledged, "we'll have our boys out of the guano by Christmas. "But the main thing here," he thundered, " is that we're getting another God-given chance. This time us and our loyal allies will at last win true Peace with Honor in Southeast Asia!' ' While the crowd wildly chanted, "The Pa r a c e 1s Are for the Birds!", the reaction of Washington officials could only be described as queasy. "Not again," said one, biting his fingernails. who cornered the A reporter, Senator later at the bar, asked how he hoped to . achieve Peace with Honor this time, considering our previous experience in Vietnam. "Why, if'n there's one thing Vietnam taught us, son," the Senator said, "it's that you can't get Peace with Honor 'less you pick an enemy you ~an lick." But if we and our South Vietnamese allies couldn't lick tiny North Vietnam, how could we lick China? "Lick China!'' cried the Senator, aghast. "What I'm saying, son, is that this time, us and our new Chinese allies could lick them South Vietnamese in a week." (C. Chronicle Pub.

For three dollars and a day's work a person can usually get about half a cord of mixed fire wood. Generally, Co-Op participants gather on Saturday mornings at 2464 Roosevelt Blvd. in Eugene and then head for the woods. (The Co-Op has permits to cut wood in specified forest locations). Lately they have been going out to the Fall Creek area with a· two-ton true*, and enough cars to transport the group. The Co-Op owns three chain saws, several sledge hammers, wedges, and axes, so the wood is cut, split, and loaded in a single day's operation. According to Barajas, the wood is divided among everyone participating, and extra wood is usually donated to someone who has expressed a need for wood but who is unable to help with the Saturday morning effort. Barajas said the group is particularly interested in attracting people with energy and ideas.

Analysis by Robin Burns Tenants and Adult Student Housing (ASH) Inc. officials both agree that there have been some problems in the operation and maintenance at Ashlane, the student housing project for LCC students located at 475 Lindale Drive, Springfield. The problems and possible solutions have been brought into focus since the recent Cl:>PIRG report was issued last week charging ASH with "excessive'' expenditures. ASH operates Ashlane housing expressly for the benefit of LCC students although LCC has no financial or operational responsibility to the project. . The following six interviews (three with tenants and three with ASH officials) indicate that although there have been severe problems with maintenance and communication in the past, the situation may soon change. Ashlan,e: old gripes, new plans her first apartment to another one at Ashlane last March, she had to pay another $25 non-refundable sanitation and administrative fee. The linoleum floor in her present apartment is starting to "pop-up" because of water leakage. Her windows leak and her car has been '' stripped clean right on the parking lot." Ms. Finch stated, "you can break into these apartments with no problem at all,'' and added that the vandalism has been pretty bad. The outside lights are not functioning at all at one end of the complex. According to Ms. Finch, the reason is faulty wiring. She said the managers said it was the electricians' problem, but the electricians who installed it are taking no responsiblity. '/ don't expect anything' Ms. Allbaugh and son Ginny Allbaugh and her four-year-old son have lived at Ashlane for 11/2 years. The windows and doorjambs leak in Ms. Allbaugh's apartment and the water leaks are causing the plaster to crack. Ms. Allbaugh said that she did not pay her rent for one month last summer because "the living conditions were so bad." She complained to the managers and wrote letters to the home office in Portland asking that need~d repairs be done: "Last summer, after I withheld my rent, they got a couple of guys to pull weeds so I started paying my rent again - at least they were beginning to make an effort.'' But, Ms. Allbaugh is now facing eviction because of money she owes to ASH. She said that Bob Baker, an ASH representative from Portland, came to Ashlane in early January and informed tenants who were behind on their rent that if the money was not paid by Feb. 1 the tenants would receive a 24 -hour eviction notice. Ms. Allbaugh has consulted with Eric Haws, Legal Services attorney for students at LCC, in regard to her problems with ASH and he has sent a letter to the Portland office stating the amounts she has withheld and listing her reasons for withholding the money. ASH has not yet responded to the letter, she said. "Everytime ASH people have been down here I've expressly told the managers that I wanted to talk to them," Ms. Allbaugh stated. But it is her opinion that "they (the ASH representatives) try to keep away from us (tenants) as much as possible it's really obvious." Because of her frustration in trying to obtain needed repair work, Ms. Allbaugh feels that "Portland doesn't give a damn about the tenants here so long as they get their money.'' She added, '' This is high rent for our budgets (Welfare, ADC, and government grant recipients) but there is really nothing lower available." Unfurnished apartments at Ashlane run for $102.50 for a one bedroom and $124.50 for a two bedroom, with a limited number of furnished units available). She claims that she has had no luck discussing repair problems with the managers and added that ''from the response of the people down here I don't expect anything." She feels that it is"very obvious" that ASH, Inc. is trying to "get a.s much money as they can out of this place.' She felt that ''because the place looks so ill-kept, tenants have no respect for it." Jim Moore is financing his education "strictly on his own." He has lived at Ashlane since last July, attends schoolfulltime and works full-time. Moore said, "I have done everything I could possibly do to help maintain the place." He recently conducted an informal survey among approximately 40 tenants and said, "Only about two of them had no complaints.'' January 29, 1974 Several tenants also stated that their apartments had been unclean when they moved in. New tenants must pay both a refundable $25 cleaning deposit and a nonrefundable $25 sanitation-and-administrative fee. The Ashlane Rental Agreement states that '' Tenants have pa1d to the landlord $2 5 as a non-refundable s~itation and administration fee for the put~ of covering administrative costs antfilrsanitizing the premises at the end of the lease term.'; The only recourse a prospective tenant has when confronted with a dirty apartment is to not move in. Phillip McLennan is one of the two principal officers of the Portland-based non-profit corporation that operates Ashlane. He said that "Ashlane is a real difficult. project' ' in regard to maintenance, repair, and rent collection. Because Ashlane has been experiencing so many problems, Ash has hired a professional manager who can '' devote a full amount of time to his duties and run the place efficiently," according to McLennan. He added, "Ashlane is one of our worst collection problems, maybe because the management in the past hasn't been as careful as it should have been about letting tenants' rent slide." In reference to the recent charges made against him by Cl:>PIRG, McLennan stated, "We have made agreements with institutions and the government and so far. as we know we have not violated any of the mo'' McLennan said that the two company "luxury'' cars criticized in the Cl:>PIRG report were originally financed in part by Bender and himself, though they left the titles in the company name. He said that the cars have since been refinanced and the titles removed from ASH. '' The increase in office rent was due to the fact that we have greatly expanded our staff in order to deal with additional completed projects," McLennan said, as he explained that by renting the office space from a firm owned by himself and Bender, ASH '' reduced the actual cost per unit per student." 'must carry guarantees' McLennan went on to say that he and Bender have not taken salaries as large as they originally told Department of Hous'two quarts an hour' ing and Urban Development (HUD) they Moore's own problems began with a would take.

He came to Eugene and talked to El'Merick last Friday about the problems at Ashlane and possible solutions. Baker said one of the first steps to be taken will be to issue a letter to each tenant welcoming the tenant to Ashlane and asking for any complaints the tenant may have. Copies of the complaints will then be sent to the Portland office and will also be on file in the managers' office at Ashlane. 'no later than Feb. 25 ' "We will have people here working on correcting the maintenance problems no later than Feb. 25," said Baker, "and we will set a priority list and deal with the functional (leakage, heat, and lighting) problems first,'' he added. Baker confirmed the report from several tenants - that he had come to h.shlane in early January and informed tenants who were behind on their rent that if their rent was not paid by Feb. I they would be given a· 24 -hour eviction notice. He stated that the action was legal under the new Oregon landlord-tenant statute. Ashlane has been renting to LCC stu':lents for about a year and a half. In order to receive a federal loan, .n.SH had to be officially sponsored by the educational institution it would service: A.SH obtained an endorsement from the LCC Board of Education in April, 1971, and received a 1.9 million dollar loan under the federal College Housing Act of 1950. The TORCH was unable to reach HUD by phone to determine the nature of the agreement governing the receipt of the loan. 'administrative council' ASH or>erates under a set of by-laws stating basic operating guidelines and controls. Article 4, section A of these bylaws outlines the purpose, membership, and operation of an administrative council for each project. The council is to be composed of three ASH representatives, a student/tenant representative, and a sponsoring institution representative, with the purpose of keeping the student .1 tenants and the sponsoring institution ''involved and informed'' although the operational responsiblity rests on ASH alone. According to the by-laws, the administrative council is to meet "no less than annually." Jonathon West, who has been LCC's liaison with A.SH, said, "I haven't been to any meetings; they haven't called any." ASH representatives did meet with the LCC Board of Education in January of last year, when they discussed possible rent increases, giving priority to low-income students, and determining the number of tenants who were not LCC students. According to Baker and EI'Merick, however, information and communication will soon be improving between LCC, ASH officials, and Asblane tenants. Page 6 TORCH January 29, 1974 Out of the semi-darkness, raises not one but 12 brown garbed forms. The theatre lights come up and the play "Celebration" begins. ''Celebration'' is the winter production of the LCC Performing Arts Department. The Forum Theatre will be transformed into a field of ideological battle as the play is presented Feb. 1, 2, and 6 through 9 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $3.00 and may be obtained at the Forum box office or by phoning 74704501 Ext. 310. According to Performing Arts Chairman, also the director, Ed Ragazzino, the play pits Wint~r against summer and good against bad. ''It is hard to explain,'' he said. "Just watch the play and it will explain itself,' he added. The play involves an Orphan (Matt Pearl) who is attempting to get back the garden of his ex-orphanage from Mr. Rich (Wayne Ballentyne) Mr. Rich, having felt nothing for the past 25 years, hires the exuberant young orphan to teach him to feel. The orphan is aided in his quest by an experienced sage by the name of Potemkin (Dale Brabb). Rich contends that the world is cold and dark with nothing to offer to a prooucer of artificial flowers and the richest man in the Western World. The orphan sees the world as full of hope and is as naive as Rich is cruel. Rich's girl firend, (Roxy Thomas) becomes the prize fort he victor in the battle of beliefs. The strange lighting, delightful music and colorful costumes of the play and eerie effects to the action. according to Ragazzino, the play entails a lot of social significance. CELEBRATION January 29, 1974 TORCH Department of Performing Arts Winter Production Photos by Mark Rahm Page 7 Page 8 TORCH January 29, 1974 Titans grab five -firsts at Indoor In what amounted to a tune-up for the otitdoor season, Lane Com munity College's track team captured five first places in the Portland Indoor Invitational Saturday. Lane's runners, paced by Tim Williams' 4:09.8 clocking in the mile, showed promise of being a team to be reckoned with in the future. Williams' time in the mile, a new meet and school record, broke his old mark at Lane of 4:11.1 set in 1973. Williams' time, coming so early in the year, placed him far ahead of schedule in training for the outdoor season later this year. Williams withstood a challenge by Kim Taylor of Linn-Benton CC and posted a 61 second third quarter to move into a 5Q yard lead. Williams then sprinted the last 440 in :64, finishing nearly 80 yards ahead of his nearest competitor. • Rod Cooper, freshman distance man from North Douglas, achieved his lifetime best in the mile as he finished third in 4:20.9. In what was probably the closest finish of the meet, Lane's mile relay team, composed of Dana tims, Tim Williams, Rick Nickell, and Dan Seymour, held on to take a photo finish win over Linfield and Oregon College of Education. Lanes time of 3:28.47 just nipped Linfield, who finished in 3:28.49. OCE came in with a time of 3:28.7. The Titan sprinters, led by Rick Eatmon's strong showing, came through with a series of sparkling performances. Eatmon, a transfer from Oregon State, finished close on the heels of Dr. Delano Meriwether, owner of a 9.0 clocking in the 100 yard dash, and Al Hearvey, former sprint star atthe University of Oregon, as he raced to a 6.23 time for the 60 yard dash. Dale Warren, freshman from Adams of Portland, easily won his heat of the 60 with a time of 6.34. Mark Burt, sophomore from Beaverton, finished third in his race with a time of 6.59. Jerry Zybach, freshman from Thurston, led with 25 yards to go before pulling a muscle and limping home third in 6. 71. Bruce Clark, a first year man from Grants Pass, won his running of the 60 yard hurdles in a time of 7. 79. His time bettered that posted by three runners from the U of o. Vince Woods, entered in the long jump for the first time this season, won the event with a leap of 22-9 1/2. Fred Long, a returner from last year's team, continued in his specialty with a third place finish at 21-8 1/2. Dennis Myers, freshman distance runner from Sheldon, chopped 11 seconds off his personal best in the two mile, coming in with a 9:33.37, bringing him a tie for sixth. Cheryl Bates, the only women's competitor entered from Lane, took third in the women's mile run with a time of 5:16.03. In all, 17 members of the '74 edition of the Titan track team placed in the meet. This showing, at such an early stage in the season and against the quality of competition at the Indoor, shows great promise of power when the outdoor season starts later in the Spring. Murray Booth won the heavy weight division and Dan Nugent placed second in the 150 lb. weightclass to lead the Titan wrestling team to a third place finish in the LCC Invitational Saturday. Oregon State JV's won the meet with a team score of 63 while the University of Oregon JV's, Lane and the University of California amassed 59, 33 and 10 points respectively. Lane coach, Bob Creed, cited Booth, Nugent and Steve Huffman as the outstanding performers in the meet. '' an of them did a fine Booth extended his win streak to six in a row with three pins out of three matches while capturing first in the heavy weight division. "Murray has yet to have a point scored on him this year,' ' stated Creed. Booth pinned his first two opponents in the first round while the third survived until the second round. In the 150 lb. division, Dan Nugent lost his first match to the .Oregon State entry then bounced back to win his next two matches. He gained second place for his efforts. The Titans swing into action next Feb. 2 when they challenge Central Oregqn at Bend. Creed cites this match as important to Lane's title hopes. They stand 4-1 in the conference now. "We have a few injuries and if the injured wrestlers are able to compete then we should win the meet,' said Creed. Matmen third in Invitational job, especially Huffman,'' said Creed. Huffman wrestled Tom Cramer of the University of Oregon. According to Creed, Cramer was one of Oregon's top recruiting efforts. "Huffman did an outstanding job in losing only 9-11,' said Creed. Anybody watching? by Dennis Myers Tim Williams was delighted. '' Can you believe this, a chick asked me for my autograph,'' he said. It was perhaps a foreshadowing event in Tim's career. His autograph may will become as valuable as a gallon of gas or a wmter peach m the years to come. Having just blasted a field of premier college runners with a personal best 4:09 mile at the Portland indoor he promised much better. "I could have run 4:05 today. I know I will break four minutes before May,' ' Williams said. Lest listeners think Tim over optomistic with only a 4:09 mile to his credit the manner in which he ran that time should be disclosed. His first quarter mile was 60 seconds, followed by a 63.5 lap. Tim's excellent conditioning was revealed as he ran the third lap, usually the slowest of the four in amile race, in 61.4 seconds. "I thought I heard someone on my tail with one-half mile to go. I debated on whether to move out or relax and let Taylor, (Kim Taylor, fourth place finisher) go by. Seeing only 880 yards to go I took off," Williams said. ..,. Williams lead from the starting gun and increased his lead over the field from the outset. The race was between him and the clock as the second place finisher, Ken Woodard, ran 4:16.4. Rod Cooper, third place finisher and an LCC runner said, "I looked up and Tim was a little way in front, then the next thing I knew he was out of sight around the turn, way out in front.'' Cooper ran 4:20.9, a personal best. "His legs (William's) were moving like a rototiller and he just chewed everyone up,'' added Cooper. Tim has lost only one indoor race out of the seven of his career. To.at was during his first race while running as a junior at West Albany High School in 1971. He placed third in the 1000 yard dash. As for the future, Tim plans to attend the University of Oregon. "If they don't stand up and look now then they ne,rer will," Williams said of the U of O track coaches. He is anticipating the possibility of a track scholarship. "I felt great. I was ready to challenge Pre, (Steve Prefontaine, winner of the open two mile run in an american indoor record of 8:22) in that two mile," said Williams. In the near future, Williams may realize that ambition.

Mike Reinhart took over in the second half scoring 12 of his 15 points in the second period. His scoring and rebounding, combined with Smith's continuing strong play, turned the game into a runaway in the early going. Reinhart poured in eight points in the first 5 1/2 minutes of the second stanza to push Lane into a 14 point lead.

Davy Ohmer, a starter early in the year but a valuable sixth man lately, accounted for 13 first half points to combine with Smith's 14 and give Lane a 40 to 27 first half lead. The second half was of the type termed "physical' by the more tactful observers. At times the defense developed into a shoving contest with 45 fouls called during the game, 20 on Clackamas and 25 on the Titans. More went by unnoticed. Mike Reinhart maintained 'his reputation for coming through in the second half, when he and· reserve Mike George each tossed in 10 counters to keep Lane ahead in the game. Coach Dale Bates directed most of his praise to the play of the bench, saying, '' the substitutes have been complementing the starters very well.
